She knew how to make connections By B.C. Manion
bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com
Cindy Freeman worked in a job that required excellent networking skills. Fortunately for her and the people she met, she had them. The 57-year-old woman, from Land O’ Lakes, succumbed to her battle with esophageal cancer on Aug. 29. Her funeral services were on Sept. 2, at Loyless Funeral Home in Land O’ Lakes. Freeman worked as the membership coordinator for The Greater Wesley Chamber of Commerce, helping new members become familiar with the community and helping established members make new connections. She sincerely cared about helping others succeed, friends of Freeman said, during recent interviews. So, when the 57-year-old woman from Land O’ Lakes became ill, her absence from

The Tiki Cove docks on Lake Padgett By Kathy Steele
ksteele@lakerlutznews.com
Volleyball, a freshwater beach, and boats add up to a good time at The Tiki Cove on the shoreline of Lake Padgett. Partners Dave Hipps and Steve Slowey are bringing a new tiki-style bar and restaurant to Land O’ Lakes, on Station Lane, off Land O’ Lakes Boulevard. They are kicking off with a series of weekend preview events on Sept. 11, 12 and 13. Plans are to open The Tiki Cove every other weekend, at least for the next few months. Once permitting is complete, construction can begin on the brick-and-mortar bar and restaurant. On the Mark Catering will provide the food, cocktails and beer, until the doors open on the bar and restaurant. “We’re looking to slowly evolve it,” said Dave Hipps, who is partnering with restaurateur Steve Slowey on the venture. Social media channels, primarily through The Tiki Cove Facebook page, are spreading the word. “It’s really letting people know what’s going on,“ Hipps said. On Sept. 11, the public is invited to a VIP preview from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. On Sept. 12, a “catch and release” fishing tournament will

Afterward, The Tiki Cove will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. And on Sept. 13, Sunday Fun Day will be held from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. One rule will be enforced. After 7 p.m., only people age 21 and older can be at The Tiki Cove.

“That’s going to be a strict guideline,” Hipps said. Looking ahead, Rockstar Promotions will sponsor a volleyball tournament on Sept. 26 and Sept. 27. Until now, volleyball enthusiasts had to drive to Hogan’s Beach on the Courtney Campbell Causeway or Toasted Monkey in St. Petersburg. But now Hipps said, people can play closer to home. Aside from volleyball, Hipps said other games including ring toss and Jenga will be available. The catering company will have specialty drinks, such as Blue Heaven and Tiki Breeze, and a menu of fish tacos, mahimahi and burgers. And, there will be a dock and ample shoreline for boaters. The partners, along with their wives Laura Hipps and Sheri Slowey, believe The Tiki Cove is coming in on a wave of new development in Land O’ Lakes and Wesley Chapel. “(The area) just really needs more venues like this, so they don’t have to drive half an hour to St. Petersburg,” said Dave Hipps, who owns Land O’ Lakes Marine. “Growth is coming with the (Tampa Premium Outlets) mall. This should be a great success.” The idea for The Tiki Cove came nearly five years ago, as Hipps and his wife took a boat ride and found themselves at a waterfront seafood restaurant off Gandy Boulevard.The style was Polynesian.

Pasco wants a say in path of recreational trail By Kathy Steele
ksteele@lakerlutznews.com
The Florida Department of Transportation is studying the proposed path for the South Sumter Connector Trail, a segment needed to close a gap in the planned 275-mile Coast-to-Coast (C2C) Connector Trail. Two routes are being considered for the connector, but just one passes through Pasco County. Most of both possible routes is in Sumter County, but the stakes are high for communities in Pasco, Sumter and Hernando counties that envision opportunities for recreation, tourism and economic development. The completed trail will pass through nine counties and link nearly 20 trails across the state from Pinellas County to Brevard County. The issue is slated for discussion on Sept. 10, at the 10 a.m. meeting of the Pasco
Metropolitan Planning Organization’s monthly board meeting. The session will be at the Historic Pasco County Courthouse in Dade City. The agenda will focus on gathering public input for a southern route that begins along abandoned rail beds in northeast Pasco, parallels State Road 50, and crosses through the Withlacoochee State Forest. It ends in eastern Sumter. “The trail is going to be marketed internationally to a very active group of travelers,” said Pasco County Commissioner Kathryn Starkey. “I think it’s going to be a really good tourism draw for our county,” added Starkey, who also serves on the MPO board. At one time, the expectation was for the

trail route to come through Pasco, but since then, a second northern option was added, Starkey said. The proposed northern route begins in western Hernando County, and then moves southeast to Sumter along former railroad right-of-way. It would link the towns of Webster and Center Hill, and connect with the Withlacoochee State Trail. At the Sept. 2 meeting of the MPO’s See TRAIL, page11A
Mall leader enjoys building relationships By Kathy Steele
ksteele@lakerlutznews.com
Relationships are what Stacey Nance cares about the most. It explains why she grew up and then settled on a career in her native Indiana. And it is also why, after nearly two decades with Simon Property Group, she is taking the next big step in her life and her career. Nance took the reins as general manager of Tampa Premium Outlets in May. The regional outlet mall is the first major retail development in Pasco County since The Shops at Wiregrass opened in October 2008. For Nance, the job opportunity is her first move away from Indiana, and her first time to take the lead in opening a Simon mall. She graduated from Ball State College in Muncie, Indiana. For 18 years, Nance has carved out a fastpaced career in marketing and later in mall management with Simon Property Group, again in Muncie. She stayed in Muncie, despite working for a company that is the largest mall owner in the nation and also owns real estate properties all over the world. “For the longest time I didn’t want to leave, because I wanted to raise my son in one community and in one school (district),� Nance said. But, with her son’s graduation from col-

lege, the time felt right for a change. So, Nance jumped at the challenge to be in charge at Tampa Premium Outlets. She knew after one quick visit that she wanted to set down roots in a new community. “From the moment I was in the Wesley Chapel area, it made me feel so welcome,� Nance said. “My personality is that I love to form relationships and partnerships. That’s exactly what I want to continue here.� The 441,000-square-foot outlet mall is set to open the weekend of Oct. 29
through Nov. 1. The “Key West� style outlet center will feature 110 shops with widely known brands, such as Ralph Lauren, Saks Off Fifth, Michael Kors, Donna Karan and Vera Bradley. The mall is in the spotlight as a driver of the local economy, a job generator and a regional draw for shopaholics. Since arriving in May, Nance has put together a management team and immersed herself in the daily details and long-range planning for opening the mall. Now, with the mall’s opening less than two months away, the anticipation is growing. “We can’t imagine the amount of pride we’re going to have cutting the ribbon (for the mall),� Nance said. At a recent job fair, Nance and her team oversaw logistics for an event that attracted more than 3,000 applicants in the hunt for more than 800 jobs the mall offers. It was the first time Nance had the chance for face-to-face meetings with some of the mall’s tenants. That personal connection was right up her alley. “It gives them the opportunity to meet with me and start direct relationships,� she said.“I’m very much a people person.� At Ball State, Nance earned a Bachelor of Science degree in marketing and management, with a specialization in sales and promotion. Her first job was as marketing director for a financial institution.
But, she said, “I needed additional challenges and professional growth.� She started with Simon Property Group as marketing director at Muncie Mall. She worked there for nine years and then shifted into mall management. She was put in charge of overall operations at Muncie Mall, Muncie Plaza and Northwood Plaza in Indiana. Management is her niche now. “It’s so diverse,� Nance said. “I’ll work with a team, but on any given day I’ll do marketing, public relations or community relations.� In the past, she has been part of a team that has pitched in to pull off opening day at a mall. This is her first time being in charge. “When somebody really thinks about that, from below ground to the top of the roof, is our responsibility,� she said. “It’s an entire team that can pull off the opening of the entire center.� The goal is to create a mall that feels as if it’s a gathering place. “We want them (people) to come, and meet friends and family, just congregate,� Nance said. “Have a nice day out, and hang out in the mall.� As she settles into her job, Nance also is planting roots in her new Florida community. She recently closed on a new house, and expects to stay here for a long time. “Now, this is my home,� she said. “I’m not a mover.�

and distribution of cannabis, or enacting additional standards to regulate cultivating and dispensing cannabis. During public comment, Palm Harbor resident John Chase cited several recent studies looking at the effects of legalizing medical marijuana, including ones from the Tulane School of Public Health, Lancet Psychiatry, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. “They all say there is nothing to fear from medical marijuana,� Chase said. The studies’ findings, he said, found no increase in violent crime or property crime, and no increase in marijuana use by adolescents.
“Marijuana dispensary, I know that’s a loaded word,� Chase said. “I also know our decisions are made better when based on evidence, not based on opinion or belief.� Medical marijuana is a matter that could reappear as a referendum on the 2016 ballot. United for Care, a group backed by attorney John Morgan, announced on Sept. 1 that Supervisors of Elections had validated 74,000 signatures on its petition. That means the next step is a review by the Florida Supreme Court. The constitutional amendment’s language is similar to one in 2014 that received more than 57 percent of the vote, but fell short of the 60 percent needed to change the state’s constitution. Supporters still must provide more than 609,000 additional, validated signatures to get medical marijuana back on the ballot.

Back home in Lutz, Reagan, right, and Pearl show off their qualifying and fourth-place ribbons at Avalon Stables.
Riding high, with ribbons to show for it By Michael Murillo
mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com
Reagan and Pearl have been good friends for a couple of years now. They spend a few afternoons each week together, and they see each other on weekends, too. Sometimes they go on trips — to North Carolina and Georgia. Last month they went to the Kentucky State Fair in Louisville. And they came home with some ribbons. Reagan is Reagan Moore, a fourth-grader who lives in Lutz. She’s an A-Circuit equestrian competitor in her spare time. Pearl is La Perla Merchant, Reagan’s 14year-old American Saddlebred. Pearl lives at Avalon Stables in Lutz. Reagan and Pearl went to Kentucky to compete at the World’s Championship Horse Show at the Kentucky State Fair. They brought home a fourth-place finish in Saddle Seat Equitation in the eight-andunder group. In that kind of competition, the rider is judged more than the horse — but Reagan is quick to credit her partner for their success. “She’s a good listener, so she’s pretty easy,” Reagan said of Pearl. Pearl might be an easy partner, but saddle seat equitation itself is quite difficult. With a couple of reins in each hand, riders are judged by how they guide their horse, and the form and poise they use during the evaluation. And they’re not out there alone. A group of riders perform at once (a total of 10 in Reagan’s group), all attempting to maneuver into the best position in front of the judges, while also trying to relegate the competition into a lesser spot for viewing. Riders must defend their position and maintain a prominent place for evaluation, but also must stay focused on maintaining control of their horse while showing proper form. “It’s just all about your legs, hands and how you sit,” Reagan said. Even the position of their chin makes a difference. That type of form means a lot of practice, and Reagan and Pearl spend hours each week improving. When they’re not working on their form, Reagan likes to come by and talk to Pearl and brush her hair, and spend time with her “barn friends” at Avalon.
“It’s just amazing out here. It’s so fun,” she said. While it might be fun at the stables, performing in front of several thousand people in a different state can be a daunting task, especially to a child. Pam Roush, owner of Avalon Stables, was there to cheer three of her students at the event, and was proud of how Reagan handled herself. “This particular little athlete is so poised and so confident with her horse,” she said. “She has no fear, and no thoughts that are negative.” Reagan has been with Avalon for several years. She started riding when she was 3. And, Roush has enjoyed seeing her grow into such a competitive athlete even at her young age. Roush wasn’t the only one rooting for Reagan at the event. Her parents, Allison and Kris, went to Kentucky, as did her grandmother. Her brother, Dylan, stayed home for the beginning of the school year, but was rooting for her at home. Even though he didn’t grow up around horses, Kris Moore is impressed with his daughter’s success. Seeing her perform at such a large event in front of thousands of people was a special moment. “It was breathtaking. It’s hard to explain. Just to see her out there and doing it, it was just amazing,” he said. Getting to that point hasn’t been easy. Between Reagan’s riding and Dylan’s travel baseball, there’s a lot of scheduling and coordinating that keeps the Moore’s calendar full. But it’s worth it, Kris said, because the children are doing something they love and are focused on positive activities. The trip to Kentucky was a big positive for Reagan and her family. In addition to competing, she had time to see a few sights. She visited a park dedicated to the American Saddlebred, as well as Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby. Of course, bringing home a ribbon for fourth place was pretty nice, too. “It was such a great feeling,” Reagan said. “I’m just so proud of (Pearl). It’s just so cool.” And for Roush, who has seen Reagan grow into a top competitor, watching her longtime student succeed was a great experience, too. “That’s the ultimate feeling that you can have as an instructor. It’s the reason why we do it,” she said.

More than 600 people gathered at Wesley Chapel’s Saddlebrook Resort at the Pasco Economic Development Council’s 29th annual Banquet and Industry of the Year Awards. The Sept. 3 event attracted a who’s who in Pasco County, including movers and shakers in government and industry, as well as leaders of community organizations. Awards were presented to eight companies making their mark in Pasco County, and the winners were: • The Laker/Lutz News: Service/Distribution, category 1 (1-25 employees) • Applicant Insight: Service/Distribution, category 2 (26+ employees) • SAHM Co.: New Business Award • Big Storm Brewing Co.: Manufacturer of the Year, category 1 (1-25 employees) • Preferred Materials: Manufacturer of the Year, category 2 (26+ employees) • Easy Business Software: Technology Award • Veterans Alternative Therapy: Special Recognition Award • Florida Hospital Zephyrhills: Special Contribution Award The companies honored during the banquet were nominated in late spring and then interviewed by members of a Pasco EDC awards committee. The committee considered a total of 23 nominees. Winners are selected based on exemplary growth in job creation, capital investment, technology, innovation and
community service. The awards committee used a specific grading scale to select the winners. “It is tremendously gratifying to be recognized by Pasco’s business leaders for our commitment to give readers a top-notch newspaper every week,” said Diane Kortus, publisher of The Laker/Lutz News.“This past year, my team embraced the vision to take our papers to its larger format, and their talent, determination and hard work is reflected in this honor.” Other finalists this year were: Aviation Instrument Technologies Inc.; Can Can Concealment LLC; Covanta Pasco; Electro Tape Specialties; Fifth Third Bank/New Port Richey Branch; Freedom Scooter & Supply LLC; Habitat for Humanity of East & Central Pasco; Manufacturers Distributor Inc.; Morton Plant North Bay Hospital; Oasis Pregnancy Center; and Retail Process Engineering LLC. Pasco EDC is a nonprofit organization that promotes economic development in Pasco County. Besides those receiving Industry of the Year awards, John Hagen, the outgoing CEO and president of Pasco EDC, also was honored for his years of service. He expects to retire within the next few months. The banquet program also featured an update on Pasco County’s economy from Lex Smith, the outgoing chairman of the Pasco EDC. Smith noted that the council completed 14 new job creation projects since October 2014. Those job creators include the attraction of three Fortune 500 companies: Leggett & Platt, Ortho Technologies (which is part of Henry Schein Inc.), and Tru Simulation and Training (part of Textron).Those 14 projects are expected to yield more than 900 jobs and $118 million of investment.

Pasco sees big jump in single-family home sales By Kathy Steele
ksteele@lakerlutznews.com
The housing market in Tampa Bay is hot, hot, hot — and Pasco County is helping to turn up the heat. In July, there were 963 closed sales of single-family homes in Pasco County, a whopping 38.4 percent increase over July 2014. The median price of those homes was $157,000, up 4.8 percent over last year, according to the Greater Tampa Association of REALTORS Inc. (GTAR). The association is the largest professional Tampa Bay-based group of licensed real estate brokers and sales associates. The monthly housing report compiles data from the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater area. Even as Pasco’s housing prices climb, single-family homes in the county remain something of a bargain compared to the region as a whole, and to pricier counties to the south, including Hillsborough County. The Tampa Bay region had more than 4,500 closed sales of single-family homes in July 2015, up 30 percent over July 2014.The median price of a single-family home was $176,000, up 4.7 percent over last year. In Hillsborough, the median price of single-family homes increased more than 10 percent to $205,000 in July 2015, up from $186,000 in July 2014, the housing report showed. During the past months, the trend has been toward a resurgent seller’s market with houses selling at or near asking prices. Tampa Bay buyers, on average, matched or bettered the seller’s price more than 94 percent of the time, an increase of more than 1 percent over July 2014. In Pasco, that happened about 93 percent of the time, a 2 percent increase over July 2014.
With sales on a fast pace, month-tomonth inventory is decreasing. “It is certainly a seller’s market,” said Thomas O’ Bryant Jr., chief executive officer of GTAR. “When we get to 5.8 months of inventory, it’s kind of the tipping point.” As of July, in the four-county Tampa Bay region, there was a 3.8 months supply of houses. That’s down more than 21 percent from July 2014. In Pasco, the supply was 3.9 months, down nearly 29 percent from July 2014. With demand up and inventory down, O’ Bryant said, “It drives up median sales prices.” Houses also are being sold more quickly in every price range. The median days on the market for single-family homes less than $50,000 was 36 days, a 50 percent decrease from July 2014. Houses in the $250,000 to under $300,000 range hung around the longest at 54 median days, a 20 percent decrease since last year. The largest increases in closed sales was seen in the pricier homes with a 300 percent jump in the sales of single-family homes ranging from $600,000 to just under $1 million. Closed sales of homes selling from between $300,000 to just under $400,000 went up by nearly 83 percent from July 2014 to July 2015. Closed sales of single-family homes of less than $50,000 dropped nearly 1 percent. That was the only category experiencing a decline in closed sales.

“One treatment and my migraine was gone” Brenda Connolly had suffered from migraine headaches for 20 years. It wasn’t until she began seeing Pam at Surgical Alternative that she found a treatment that stopped the pain— and the headaches — from reoccurring. “Pam is a miracle worker. I no longer need prescription drugs or chiropractic treatments,” said Brenda, a New Brenda Connolly Tampa resident. No migraines also mean Brenda can focus more on triathlete training. “I enjoy Ironman competitions, and Pam keeps my body moving and on the road.” MA 60639 MA 26378/MM27542 MA 0007222

TIKI, from page 1A “We really fell in love with the concept,” Hipps said. “It had a great atmosphere. You could enjoy the water and have a drink.” But, the economy had other plans. “Obviously, the economy didn’t permit this, and the timing wasn’t right,” Hipps said. Now, five years later, The Tiki Cove is here. Hipps couldn’t be happier, because the long wait meant his friend, Steve Slowey, was available to become his business partner. Slowey owns several Beef O’ Brady’s restaurants, and The Brass Tap. For Hipps, this is his first venture into the restaurant business, but he isn’t worried. “I’ve owned businesses my whole life since college,” he said. “I’ve never done anything I didn’t own. I believe businesses are businesses. Businesses that are run right work, and Steve is such a great entrepreneur, and a food and drink expert.” And, volleyball is a natural for Hipps, who played the sport at Ohio State

Of anything, she was just giving,”Allen said. “It was a big loss for a lot of people. She definitely was well thought of, and loved.” Valerie Rudmin, owner of Everlasting Beauty, met Freeman through the chamber. “She was so caring and so nice to everybody. She made everybody feel at home, when you met her,” Rudmin said. “She was always there for the ribbon cuts. She was a real genuine person. She wasn’t a phony. Everybody just adored this woman. “She really felt like it was her job to connect people together and to introduce people,” said Rudmin, who is an ambassador for the chamber.

On the Mark catering company will serve food, beer and specialty drinks in the interim. “It’s just kind of making a resurgence.”
Freeman’s death was a jolt, she said. “This is just totally shocking. I can’t believe she’s actually gone,” Rudmin said. While Freeman was struggling with cancer, a GoFundMe account was set up to help with expenses. Now, her friends are stepping forward to help cover funeral costs and other expenses. Jadallah, who provided the food after Freeman’s funeral, said there was talk before Freeman died to host a fundraiser to benefit her and her family. She hopes that still will happen. “I hope all of Wesley Chapel comes together and does something (to help),” Jadallah said. Freeman is survived by her husband, Kenneth Freeman; her son, Aaron Freijomel; her daughter, Morgan Beeler; her brothers, Nelo Jr. and Tony; her sisters, Gale and Kim; and, a grandchild, Brady.

High goals, hard practices for Sunlake volleyball By Michael Murillo
Sunlake Seahawks volleyball schedule
mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com
Deann Newton has taken the Sunlake volleyball team from perennial also-ran to state title contender. And, she did it in just two seasons. So, what’s the team’s reward for its third season? Really challenging practices. “We don’t have a lot of down time in practice. We keep them going,” Newton said. The team goes hard the entire time at practice, with the junior varsity squad on one court and the varsity squad on the other. Athletes are yelling out communication to each other as volleyballs are being served at top speeds. Occasionally, a team takes a lap or two around the gymnasium, or one side of a court breaks into push-ups or crunches. Players also focus on mental toughness, getting past mistakes, overcoming adversity and making adjustments on the fly. Easy practices would be counterproductive to Newton’s goals, which is to keep building on the team’s success. During her first season, the Seahawks logged its first winning season in school history, and in their second it made the state semifinals. Now, players know they’re on a good team. The problem is, so does everybody else. “After having success and going to state, everybody we play is going to be up for us,” Newton said. “Everyone’s going to be ready for us, everyone’s going to have their best match on us.” To counter that new reputation, the coach wants to keep her players humble, challenged and hard at work. All of the varsity girls play on club volleyball teams, and Newton is giving them even more work for the high school campaign. She has scheduled a difficult preseason tournament, and has more booked where the team will face higher classes than their 6A status, which is an upgrade from last season. Since the team will face talented teams if it reaches the playoffs again, Newton

wants her players to be ready to compete against the best well before the team’s district tournament. Playing at a high level means also paying attention to statistics. Their serving, for example, should be at an 85-90 percent success rate according to Newton. Even though they opened their regular season with a 3-0 win against Fivay on Aug. 25, their serve success rate was at just 78 percent, which means it can get better over the course of the season, even as the team racks up victories. And opponents can expect Sunlake to pile up quite a few victories, since the team didn’t lose many players from last season. Just two athletes, Sarah Sprague and Shaira Sanabria, were lost to graduation. But those were very good players. Both are playing volleyball at the college level, Newton said. Also, losing two players means more than just filling two holes in the lineup. The coach has tinkered with the positions to For information, call 813-693-1830, or visit 7ToolBaseball.com.

BASEBALL INSTRUCTION ORGANIZATION NOW IN PASCO
7 Tool Baseball, a baseball instruction organization for individuals ages 10 through 21, has moved from Tennessee to Pasco County. The organization provides classroom and field instruction, as well as weight room training. 7 Tool wants to start a 10U travel ball program this year, with an additional program each successive year. It currently has training sessions by appointment at Wesley Chapel District Park, 7727 Boyette Road, and at the Land O’ Lakes Recreation Complex, 3032 Collier Parkway.
field the strongest team possible, which means experienced players might need to learn a new role. If those changes and rigorous workouts will equal greater success, the players are on board. Junior Nelly Diaz said the team is already putting in the effort. “Each practice, we come in working 10 times harder than we did the last,” she said. Part of that stems from a desire to overcome a sense that they didn’t play their best at the end of last season. Although Sunlake reached the state semifinals, and the team was proud of their accomplishments, Diaz said the 3-0 defeat to Merritt Island was not a true reflection of the team’s talent. Now, players are ready to get back to the postseason and prove they’re capable of achieving more. Diaz knows the tough practice sessions are designed to make them stronger when they’re facing competitors and every point counts.

“As our athletic director (Reesa Pledge) and our coach say, ‘If you can’t take the heat in the gym, you can’t take the heat in the game.’ So we make sure that we are in condition and working hard 100 percent,” she said. Newton also is giving 100 percent as coach, and that’s not going to change anytime soon. She became a coach after playing college volleyball at Western Oregon University. After that, she took 10 years off to start a family. Now that she’s back, she’s ready to build a winning program, get behind it and stay there. That could be bad news for opponents, because it means Sunlake should have a formidable team for several years to come. In fact, she’s already recruiting several years in advance. “I’m not going anywhere. My daughter (Taryn) is in third grade, and I plan to be here for the time she graduates and have her play for me,” she said.

Julie Graden was very ill when she completed this piece, featuring a mermaid. She had bronchitis that turned into pneumonia. But she finished the piece, thanks to the help of Rebecca Graden Toves, Michelle Hatten, Cass Womack, Ana Bruja and Chelsey Austin.
Julie Graden spent about 16 hours of chalking to create her interpretation of Vincent Van Gogh, and his famed ‘Starry Night’ portrait. Her piece was 8 feet by 8 feet. Cass Womack captured this image of Graden with the Van Gogh piece at the Gasparilla Festival of the Arts.
Viewers can see a work in progress. It is one of the things that Julie Graden likes best about chalk art. People can watch and can ask questions, as the piece of art takes shape. At right is the finished portrait.

A trio of ‘clowns’ Michele Sokoloff is the proud owner of this grumble, which is the word used to describe a pack of pugs. Her grumble consists of 6-year-old Layla, 7year-old BeBe (the black pug), and 8-year-old Roxie. Sokoloff, of Zephyrhills, describes her pugs this way: ‘They’re my clowns, and there is never a dull moment.’

Beech-Nut and Target are teaming up to give parents a new shopping item – organic food for babies, according to a news release from FleishmanHillard for BeechNut.Two area stores are among 300 select Target locations that now offer 12 blends of organic fruits and vegetables for babies from Beech-Nut Organics. The locations are 1040 Dale Mabry Highway in Lutz and 16400 State Road 54 in Odessa. According to the news release, BeechNut is inspired by parents making homemade baby food with unique food combinations and high quality ingredients. And, perhaps Diane Keaton should get a shout out, too, for her 1987 romantic comedy, Baby Boom. In that film, Keaton is a stressed out corporate executive who inherits a baby, moves into a repair-challenged Vermont farmhouse and starts a homemade baby food line. Oh, and she romances local veterinarian, Sam Shepard. (You may want to check it out. There’s a young James Spader there, too.) The Organics line from Beech-Nut comes in transparent honeypot glass jars and features the USDA-certified seal. On its menu are single blends “just sweet potatoes” and “just pears.” There also are combinations such as “just apple, raspberry and avocado.” For more information, you can visit Facebook.com/BeechNut, or @BeechNutFoods (Twitter and Instagram).
COURTESY OF HINES INC.
In early 2016, the real estate firm Hines Inc., will open a community center in the master-planned community of Asturia, off State Road 54, west of Suncoast Parkway.
Asturia community center Construction is under way on a community center in Asturia, the mixed-use, master-planned community on State Road 54, west of Suncoast Parkway, according to a news release from Hines Inc. The Texas-based real estate firm is developing Asturia on more than 500 acres of the former Behnke Ranch, located between two other master-planned communities — Starkey Ranch to the west and Bexley Ranch to the east. The 5,800-square-foot facility will include a clubhouse, state-of-the-art fitness center, covered outdoor living rooms, a resort-style swimming pool, and an expansive lawn for recreation. Centrally located within Asturia, the community center will feature a modern architectural design with a shed-style roof, open floor plans and floor-to-ceiling facades and wood accents.
The fitness center will offer a range of aerobic and strength-training equipment. The zero-entry pool will provide areas for swimming laps and passive swimming, and a resort-style pool deck for lounging. The community center is expected to open in early 2016. The Asturia community will feature parks, green spaces, trails and interactive children’s play structures. Ashton Woods and David Weekley Homes are building homes, and each will provide a model home for inspection by prospective homebuyers. Hines is a private, global real estate investment firm founded in 1957, with locations in 185 cities in 19 countries. For information, visit AsturiaFlorida.com, or call (813) 2274148.
