Road projects focus on growth

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Growth is where the rubber meets the road when it comes to building, widening and re-aligning highways that crisscross Pasco County’s landscape.

Most highways in the county move north and south. It is the east to west connections that are often missing or outof-date.

Among 15 projects identified by Pasco’s Metropolitan Planning Organization, all but two are in central and east Pasco. The top choices take aim at State Road 52 from its intersection with U.S. 41 in central Pasco to Dade City in east Pasco.

“It’s going to rectify a situation of having more direct east-west local connectors,” said James Edwards, Pasco County’s transportation planning manager. “It is going to be a See ROAD, page 11A

Teenager paddles dragon boat for USA

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

A field trip with her Girl Scout troop brought an unexpected opportunity for 13year-old Kaitlyn Robinson.

The John Long Middle School eighth grader also found a passion – a love for dragon boat racing.

On Aug. 15, she and her mother, Dawn Robinson, will fly to Welland Ontario Canada where Kaitlyn will compete in the World National Dragon Boat Championships from Aug. 19 to Aug. 23.

She is a member of the youth dragon boat team.

Her coach, David Nelson, plans to use her, at least for some races, as a drummer.

She will sit in the front of the boat, beating a drum in rhythm with the paddle strokes of her teammates and cheering them on to victory.

At a feather-light 72 pounds, Kaitlyn is a natural choice for chief cheerleader in a boat that must skim over the water swiftly.

But she’ll have to do something that doesn’t come easily to this shy — at least with first-time strangers — and soft-spoken teenager.

“You’ll have to get loud,” Nelson told her at an afternoon practice at Rick’s on the River in Tampa.

The trade-off is a promise that she also will get the chance to paddle in other races. Paddling is what she likes most.

“I kind of like the water,” Kaitlyn said.

“I’m looking forward to doing my best and helping my team finish well.”

Kaitlyn had never been in a dragon boat when her Girl Scout troop set out on a field trip two years ago, from Wesley Chapel to Rick’s on the River. She took to the water sport with a purpose.

She paddled in her first race in 2014, and is an active member of the Blade Runners Youth Dragon Boat Team of Tampa.

the River were all children adopted from Asian countries. Kaitlyn was adopted from China when she was eight months old.

Her mother said troop activities sometimes highlighted cultural connections, such as dragon boat racing or Chinese cooking.

“It was something we wanted to do, and we thought it would be fun,” Kaitlyn said.

Dragon boat racing dates back 2000 years, to southern China and folk rituals, as well as to religious ceremonies. Dragon boats had ornate dragon heads painted on the front of the boats with the tails in the stern. Paddles represented the dragon’s claws.

In the past 10 years, modern dragon boat racing has zoomed in popularity.

“Anyone can paddle. I don’t care how old you are,” said Nelson, Kaitlyn’s coach.

The races often are linked to fundraising for good causes, he said.

Last year St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation was beneficiary of the Tampa Bay Dragon Boat Classic. This year’s races, on Oct. 10, will benefit the Lowry Park Zoo. In Ontario, about 4,000 competitors from around the world will battle for top speeds in the World Championships. Race divisions include youth, senior, coed, men and women.

Kaitlyn will be in the division for ages 12 through 17. Nelson will be the youth team coach and also will compete in the senior U50 division, from ages 40 to 49.

There will be three heats in the 200- and 500-meter races, and “one-and-done” races in the 1000- and 2000-meter races.

Kaitlyn briefly took up golf, but the camaraderie of team sports, and water, is more to her liking.

“It’s a great experience for her especially being in a dragon boat because it’s a true team effort,” her mother said.

Savings can add up, during sales tax holiday

Families gearing up for a new school year can get a little help from the state of Florida, during the 2015 Back-to-School Tax Holiday.

During the tax holiday, which runs through Aug. 16, shoppers can purchase scores of items without paying state sales tax.

For example, no Florida sales tax will be collected on sales of certain clothing, footwear, and certain accessories with a sellSee SALES TAX, page 11A

Residential recycling tosses blue bags

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

That blue bag stuffed with household recyclables and plopped at the curbside is on its way out.

Beginning Oct. 1, residents must set sturdy containers at the curb if they expect haulers to pick up the cans, plastic bottles, yogurt cups, glass bottles and jars that qualify for recycling.

And more change could be coming down the road.

The Pasco County Commission is expected to consider eliminating glass from the list of accepted recyclables.

Commissioners voted Aug. 4 to shift away from using blue bags to instead use plastic or aluminum containers. They put off a decision on glass while a solid waste master plan is pending. But, county officials say they are facing a new reality in the marketplace.

With the current contract set to expire Sept. 30, the county found no takers among recycling processors when it comes to the blue bags. Plastic bags can grind machinery to a halt.

There were three no-bids, and one bid that was deemed “non-responsive,” according to Jennifer Seney, Pasco’s recycling coordinator.

The county is looking at “piggy-backing” on a contract with another jurisdiction, which has not yet been identified.

“Nobody wants the bags,” Seney told

Glass also is much heavier to ship, increasing the costs of recycling.

Strategic Materials Inc., based in Texas, is the country’s largest glass recycling company.

Seney said the company only recycles about 50 percent of the glass it receives because of contamination. Some of what they recycle is used to produce Fiberglas, she FILE PHOTO said.

Following the yellow brick road to Oz

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Three Dorothys, a pair of witches, a pink munchkin and an acrobatic flying monkey adds up to a trip to the Land of Oz. That is, if the trip is imagined by instructors from Nicole’s Dance Center and 15 young performers, ages 6 to 14, at summer camp. The Tin Man, The Scarecrow, The Cowardly Lion and the “great and powerful” Wizard of Oz also traveled down the yellow brick road.

And they were having fun — precisely what Nicole Bouchard wants her students to have.

“It’s not only learning about dance but also about family,” said Bouchard, who opened her dance studio, at 3934 Lake Padgett Drive in Land O’ Lakes, nearly two years ago. “It’s not all about pointing your toe or how high your leg goes. You learn

something in the process about yourself.”

On July 31, Bouchard’s troupe of summer camp dancers performed for a standing room only crowd of proud parents, siblings and friends. They had worked for a week to learn their parts and build the scenery to create the imaginary world of Oz. Only three of the students had experience as stage performers.

But Bouchard said, “They took ownership.They were all part of it.”

In auditions, 14-year-old Tiffany Bassett tried out for the role of the Wizard.

“He’s green,” said Bassett, costumed in a sparkly green dress and green streaked hair tresses.“I like green.”

Behind the scenes, volunteers and moms, Leesa Fryer and Brandy Gold, applied finishing touches to makeup for Glinda, the Good Witch; The Scarecrow; a “flying monkey”; and a crew of pink, green, yellow and orange Munchkins. The women also were

co-directors for the production.

Gold and Fryer each have dance and musical theater chops. Fryer has taught dance; Gold was a musical theater major in college, and was the arts and cultural director for the Tampa Jewish Community Center in Tampa.

“I have a blast as a mom,” said Fryer. “It’s a joy to be able to do this with my daughter.”

But she added, “They are all like my babies.”

Fryer’s daughter, DeLaney Fryer, was one of the three Dorothys. Gold’s daughter, Brilee Gold, was the loose-limbed Scarecrow.

Other performers were Ashley Vandiver, Noelle O’Parka, Erin Vandiver, Tabitha Vinson, Elise Labutis, Emma Sarhaddi, KalynDay, Alice Stryker, Isabella Robbins, Margo Armstrong, Mia Campione and Neena Setia.

Bouchard choreographed the 30-minute production.

The studio is her dream-come-true.

She went solo after more than 30 years of

dance experience, and about two decades of teaching with other dance troupes including Florida Dance Masters, Dance Masters of America and New York Dance Alliance.

Enrollment at her studio has about doubled within two years. Bouchard currently is expanding a second room to accommodate about 100 students.

“I’ve been really blessed,” Bouchard said.

“I’m supported by imaginative people.”

PUBLISHER’S COLUMN

The wonder of Connor

By Diane Kortus Publisher

I’m sure you’ll agree that our most important memories center on family.

While I relish the times when I received recognition for my work, and will never forget how good it felt to drive home a brand new car I always dreamed of owning, my most treasured memories are of the people I love most.

As I write this column, I am on my way home from Wisconsin after spending a few days with my first grandchild — Connor Daniel Mathes — born July 29 to my son, Andy, and daughter-in-law, Erin.

I left their home with memories that will forever be at the top of my most cherished list.

Holding Connor in my arms and gently rocking him against my chest was déjà vu – transporting me back 27 years to when his father was born.Andy was my firstborn, and those memories of his first few days came flooding back as I embraced his son.

I imagine every mother who holds her grandchild for the first time wonders how it is possible that the newborn they held in their arms as a young women is now the mother or father of the grandchild she is holding today.

For me it was not so much a question of where did the time go, but the realization that my lineage will continue on, and that this new grandchild may someday be holding a grandchild of his own.

Of course, I am sad that Andy, Erin and Connor live so far from my home in Land O’ Lakes. But, I am happy they are close to Erin’s family in Wisconsin, and are less than five hours from my family in Minnesota.

Even though the distance to Florida is far, I know Connor will grow up with a connection to his Grandma Diane that will be just as strong as those he has with his grandparents in Wisconsin.

And I know this because I raised my children in Florida, 1,600 miles from their grandparents in Minnesota. Andy and his sister, Rachel, have always been as close to

their grandparents as their cousins who grew up seeing them every few weeks.

I learned when my children were very young that kids have an intuitive, powerful connection to their relatives, no matter where they live. It didn’t matter that Andy and Rachel only saw their Minnesota grandparents two or three times a year. Because when they did, their connection was immediate, and their love was undeniable.

While I’m celebrating the arrival of Connor, I have four siblings who are also welcoming grandchildren this year.

Remarkably, between January and September, there are six great-grandchildren being born — five rambunctious little boys (Steele, Billy, Connor, Langston and Louis) and one sweet girl (Lucy).

Can you imagine the mayhem at my father’s this Christmas when all six of these babies come together for the holidays?

It will be an occasion that will be forever implanted in the memories of four generations of Kortuses.

And when those babies grow up and look at photos of themselves and their five cousins, they, too, will marvel at the power of family and be proud that that they are one of the six great-grandchildren born into our family during the first nine Andy and Erin Mathes and their firstborn, Connor Daniel Mathes. months of 2015.

Parents can influence their teenage kids with conversations The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

The job of raising a teenager is never easy, whether they’re out of school for the summer, or hitting the books during the school year.

“Parents are our everyday heroes,” Hillsborough County Anti-Drug Alliance (HCADA) director Cindy Grant said, in a news release.

They need recognition for the work they do, and tools to help them help their kids survive the pressures facing teenagers today, Grant added.

To help, Grant shared five common dangers facing teens today. Parents can use

small conversations to make a big impression, she said.

• Cyberbullying: It’s hard to protect your child if you don’t understand the problem with cyberbullying or see it happen.

Talk to your kids about their Internet use and about making smarter decisions while they are online. Be sure to make your views and rules clear about what is OK to share online and what’s off-limits.

• Alcohol Use: Research shows parents to be the leading influence on their child’s decisions about alcohol. Although it may not seem like it, when parents talk about underage drinking, their children do hear them. If you want your child to make smart, informed

decisions about drinking, be their source of reliable information and teach them about its dangers. Understanding teens’ perspectives around substances can help make it easier to understand the pressures teens face and can help guide these conversations.

• Drug Use: The growing proliferation of illegal drugs and increased access to kids in their younger years is a major problem confronting today’s youth. While parents are often concerned about possible issues with illicit substances, the “legal” drug-use and abuse of prescription drugs can be far more dangerous. Help educate youth on the dangers of using drugs, reduce their access, help them get involved in drug-free activities or classes,

and find ways to keep family connected.

• Peer pressure: Parents have an insatiable desire to protect their kids. By starting the conversation early, parents set the stage for children to come to them with questions and problems they are faced with as they get older. Be in the know.

• Media Influence: Advertisers now target kids defined as “tweens.” No longer little children, and not yet teens, tweens are vulnerable to potentially unhealthy messages about body image, sexuality, relationships, drugs and violence. A common-sense conversation can help children from being swayed by unhealthy and destructive images portrayed in the media.

Spare your wallet and bowl for free On the Cheap

By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

T

he great thing about On The Cheap is I get to tell you about a variety of fun things you can do without spending a lot of money. Maybe it’s catching a movie. Maybe it’s a trip to a zoo or aquarium. Maybe it’s watching a professional sports team.

Or, maybe it’s bowling.

Wait.

Bowling?

Like “putting on different shoes and throwing a ball down a lane” bowling?

Yes, bowling.

Everyone’s gone bowling before, but maybe it’s been a while since you gave it a try.

So, whether you’re in a league or haven’t played it in years, you have a few chances to play some games at a big discount. And on some days, it’s absolutely free.

The venue is Pin Chasers, 6816 Gall Blvd., in Zephyrhills.

I don’t have to spend a lot of time describing a bowling alley, do I? It’s really big (32 lanes), it’s clean, and it has automated scoring. But I’d like to point out that it’s also indoors, which means you won’t be subjected to blazing hot temperatures or a sudden downpour while you play. There’s no chance of bowling getting rained out or ru-

Pin Chasers in Zephyrhills has nightly specials and is hosting ‘Bowl Fest’ later this month. That means plenty of cheap (and free) opportunities to bowl.

You can bowl with friends, family or anyone who likes to throw a heavy ball and knock things down. And, on certain days, you can do it for free.

ining your clothes, and I consider that a pretty big advantage these days.

A typical game of bowling costs around $6 to $7 (shoe rental is free), and that’s not a bad deal.

But this is On The Cheap, so we’re looking for bigger bargains. And we’ve found them this month during what they call “Bowl Fest.”

On Aug. 22, students in kindergarten through 12th grade can bowl absolutely free from 10 a.m. until noon. That’s two hours of games at no cost whatsoever. If a child hasn’t played before, the staff can help teach them. And they’ll even have face painting for the youngest players.

You don’t have to paint your face to bowl, of course. But it probably doesn’t hurt, either. Maybe the pins will get intimidated and fall down on their own.

Free bowling is a great way to have a fun morning with a child or grandchild, or for

friends to get together over the summer.

But what about older players?

Well, on Aug. 19, from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m., women can bowl for free. And it’s the guys’ turn on Aug. 27 during those same hours.

So if you want a night out with friends, while remaining friendly with your budget, keep those dates in mind. No face painting, but they’ll have snacks and beverages, too.

Those are great deals, and if you want to bowl at other times (or just want to play more), Pin Chasers has specials just about every night as well.

On Mondays, you can buy a $5 wristband and play for just $1 per game, with $1 drafts, soda and hot dogs. On Thursdays, they have unlimited bowling from 9 p.m. until closing for just $10, with drink specials as well. On Sunday nights, it’s the same deal, but it’s $9.33. On Tuesdays, unlimited bowling starts at 9:30 p.m., for $9.99 and includes free pizza. Then they have cyber

bowling on the weekends and buy-one-getone-free games starting Aug. 22 and running through Sept. 6.That’s a lot of bowling.

Oh, there’s one more: On Labor Day (Sept. 7), you can bowl from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m., for $10. That’s 12 hours of unlimited bowling. I admit that staying there the whole time might be a little much. Maybe you’d like to see your family and eat lunch that day. But it’s nice to know that you can play as many games as you want for one low price.

Whether you play every few weeks or haven’t been inside a bowling alley in years, the next few weeks are perfect for grabbing a ball (don’t worry, they have plenty) and having some fun.

They’re open every day, rain or shine.

And in Florida, it’s probably rain and shine.

So maybe it’s best to stay inside, and work on your strikes and spares instead.

The Florida Department of Health in Pasco County reminds parents to have their children immunized early to avoid the backto-school rush. Parents of kindergartners and seventh-graders are encouraged to review their children’s immunization record to ensure readiness for the upcoming school year.

If parents do not have a copy of the child’s immunization record, they should ask their provider about Florida Shots, the database that records immunizations.

Students entering college also are encouraged to ensure their immunizations are up to date.

The following vaccines are required for children entering preschool and kindergarten through grade 12: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, polio, chickenpox and hepatitis B. Students entering college should check with health services at their respective college regarding requirements.

For information on upcoming back-toschool immunization events, visit Pasco.FloridaHealth.gov/.

ROAD, from page 1A growth center for the county.”

Also on the list is the intersection of State Road 54 and U.S. 41. The roads bisect Land O’ Lakes and serve as a clearinghouse for a high volume of truck and residential traffic.

The intersection is west of the retail explosion on State Road 54 and State Road 56, where Tampa Premium Outlets is slated to open in October. More shops, restaurants, hotels and rooftops are on their way in the next couple of years.

“What we’re faced with at the outlets (mall) will be congestion and future congestion,” Edwards said.

In September, the county plans to schedule workshops to get public input on the kinds of road projects needed to address traffic near the outlet mall, and between Wesley Chapel and Zephyrhills.

By placing emphasis on State Road 52 now, county officials are hoping to come out ahead of the development curve with road upgrades, before developers start digging dirt for rooftops and retail.

The proposed roadwork is part of ongoing efforts to widen and realign an important regional corridor that could eventually stretch across Florida from west coastal Pasco to the U.S. 98 junction, and on to Palm Beach.

The state roads department is completing a study for a four-year plan to build a new four-lane State Road 52, south of the current highway that passes through San Antonio, Saint Leo and Dade City. This project envisions construction of an approximately 8.5 mile, four-lane extension of Clinton Avenue. Pedestrian and bicycle lanes will be built on either side of the highway. When that project is completed, the old highway would become County Road 52.

The state roads department anticipates that design work and right-of-way purchase will be done over the next two years.

Construction is slated for 2019, according to the department’s records.

In west Pasco, a segment of State Road 52 had a makeover in 2007 when it was widened to six lanes from Moon Lake Road to the Suncoast Parkway. Going east past the Suncoast, State Road 52 narrows to four then two lanes as it approaches Shady Hills Road.

The Metropolitan Planning Organization proposes construction along a major segment of roadway in central Pasco by widening it from two to four lanes from U.S. 41 to Bellamy Brothers Road.

Along with this, another priority is a north-south segment on U.S. 41, which would be widened to four lanes from Connerton Boulevard and the Ridge Road extension up to the intersection with State Road 52.

However, the caveat with all of the identified projects is that none has construction funds on the immediate horizon. County officials estimate the price tag for these projects is more than $750 million spread out over the next 25 years.

Funding will have to come from a mix of county, state and federal dollars.

These are the projects for central and east Pasco, according to county records: • State Road 52 from U.S. 41 to Bellamy Brothers Boulevard will go from two lanes to four lanes. Preliminary engineering is underway.

• U.S. 41 from Connerton Boulevard/Ridge Road Extension to State Road 52 will go from two lanes to four lanes. Construction is anticipated in 20192020.

• State Road 52 and Clinton Avenue extension adds four lanes from east of Uradco Place to Fort King Road. Construction is anticipated in 2018-2019.

• State Road 54 at the U.S. 41 interchange is under study.

• Interstate 75, at Overpass Road/interchange from Old Pasco Road to Boyette Road, is set for construction in 2019-2020, with full funding by Pasco County.

• U.S. 98 at U.S. 301- Clinton Avenue intersection realignment.This is not funded.

• U.S. 301- Gall Boulevard redesign at Sixth and Seventh streets, from State Road 39 to County Road 54, is being planned.This construction is unfunded.

• State Road 56 at Interstate 75 interchange, from west of County Road 54 to west of Cypress Ridge Boulevard. Planning and engineering are scheduled in 20162017.

• U.S. 301 – Gall Boulevard will go from four lanes to six lanes from State Road 56 to State Road 39. Preliminary engineering is underway, but construction is unfunded.

• U.S. 301- Gall Boulevard from will go from four lanes to six lanes from County Road 54 at Eiland Boulevard to Kossik Road.

Design is underway. Right of way and construction are unfunded.

• State Road 54 at Collier Parkway interchange. Right of way is funded over a 10-year period.

• State Road 56 will go from two lanes to four lanes from Meadow Pointe Boulevard to U.S. 301, near Zephyrhills. A state infrastructure bank loan is pending.

SALES TAX, from page 1A ing price of $100 or less per item. No sales tax will be charged on certain school supplies selling for $15 or less per item. And, no taxes will be charged on the first $750 of the sales price for computers and certain computer-related accessories, when they are being purchased for noncommercial home or personal use.

Greg Lenners, general manager at The Shops at Wiregrass, said he expected an increase in mall traffic as stores and shops offer back-to-school sales, and special promotions to attract customers.

The tax-free holiday is a plus, Lenners said.

While he didn’t have hard statistics, he said shop owners told him that sales were going well.

J. Craig Shearman, a spokesman for the National Retail Federation, said sales tax holidays, in general, tend to motivate shoppers.

“From what we’ve heard from our member companies, sales tax holidays have been tremendously successful at getting customers into the store and putting them in the frame of mind to shop,” Shearman said.

“Consumers are smart. Consumers know a sale is 25 percent off, or 50 percent off,” he said.

If retailers told consumers that they’d be offering a sale with everything being 7 percent off — the sales tax rate in Pasco and Hillsborough counties — shoppers would laugh at them, Shearman said.

Not so, when it comes to a tax holiday, Shearman said.

“There’s a psychological appeal that goes far beyond the amount of money involved,” the retail expert explained.

“Americans have hated taxes back to the Boston Tea Party, so a sales tax holiday feeds into that very same sort of thinking,” he said.

Sales tax holidays began in the mid1990s, Shearman said.

There are now 18 states with sales tax holidays, according to the Federation of Tax Administrators.

Retailers will have back-to-school sales with or without a sales tax holiday, Shearman said.

So, he said: “The sales tax holiday, from a retailer point-of-view, is sort of icing on the cake.”

For consumers, though, the tax savings can make a real difference, Shearman added.

The tax holiday helps families, he noted.

“There are still a lot of families who are struggling to make ends meet and trying to stretch the dollar.

“There are families out there this time of year who are worried about where are they going to come up with the money that it takes to equip their children to go back to school in the fall and get their education.

“School clothing, backpacks, all of that — can be a stretch for some families.

“The savings from this (tax holiday) can be significant,” he said.

His organization’s Back-to-School Spending Survey, conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics, found that the average family — with children in kindergarten through grade 12 — plans to spend $630.36 on electronics, apparel and other school needs.That’s down from $669.28 last year.

With that in mind, savings from a tax holiday can be significant.

“For a lot of families, this is more than just psychological appeal or more retail sales, this can make the difference in giving their children what they need,” Shearman said.

In adopting the sale tax holiday, the Florida Legislature provided specific details about what is tax-free and what isn’t, during the tax-free period.

The Florida Department of Revenue provides detailed information on its website about what’s exempt and what isn’t. For more information on the sales tax holiday, visit DOR.MyFlorida.com.

It’s early in the practice schedule, but the Seahawks aren’t taking it easy as they prepare for the season to start later this month.

Sunlake eyes return to playoffs

By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

Now that high school football teams are allowed to practice, the Sunlake Seahawks are running routes, conducting seven-onseven drills, sprinting and diving to the ball.

They’re working hard, but head coach Bill Browning isn’t ready to hand out any awards just yet.

“Seven-on-seven in the summer plays a role, but it’s nothing but glorified PE (physical education) football,” Browning said. “I’m looking for reliability over ability right now.”

Browning’s seen too many quarterbacks and running backs who shine in drills, but lose their luster once the pads come on. So while he’s pleased with his team’s effort so far, he knows the Seahawks have a long way to go to match their recent string of success.

The success they’ve enjoyed includes the school’s first-ever district title last year and no less than eight wins in each of the past five seasons.

Living up to that standard won’t be easy.

Sunlake, like all teams, lost talented players to graduation. Guys — like Nathan Johnson, who paced the offense from the running back position — aren’t there to carry the load anymore.

They’ve also lost players to other issues, Browning said.

Three expected starters on defense won’t be with the team due to accidents on jet skis and motorcycles, as well as lingering injuries.

line. The unit is mostly intact and experienced, and should be a strong point for the team, which will need them to provide protection for the quarterback, and open up holes for the running game.

“They’re all seniors. They all started last year, they all eat weights, and they all play physical football,” Browning said of the offensive line.

One of those linemen, Bryce Cooley, also sees his position as an important one for the team.

At Keiko Shin Karate Academy’s most recent competition, the AAU National Karate Championship in North Carolina last month, there was a slight imbalance in the numbers.

The academy left with more medals than it had competitors.

The academy, located at 3753 Bruce B. Downs Blvd., in Wesley Chapel, sent 20 athletes to the event, and brought home 34 medals, including 22 gold. That success gave them the top spot in the tournament in terms of titles, a dominant finish in each of their categories, and an additional haul that added to their existing collection of more than 150 medals.

Their athletes ranged in ages from 6 to 40 and faced competition from all over the world, including Canada, Israel and Romania.

“We’re just going to defend the title, hopefully, and do what we have to do,” he said.“I’ve got faith in these guys.”

Sunlake still has a little time before their preseason game against East Lake High School on Aug. 21, and the start of the regular season on Aug. 28 against Gulf High School.

There will be preparation required before the team is ready, but Browning is no stranger to hard work. He’s taken the Seahawks from a winless squad in 2007 to a perennial playoff threat today. He also doesn’t take much time off when the season ends, and now looks forward to replacing top players and pushing the team to meet the high standard he’s set for Sunlake football.

“It makes me thrive. I like these challenges,” Browning said.
