Vision still needed for sports complex By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Pasco County commissioners were introduced to a study that recommends building a multi-use indoor sports complex on parkland near The Shops at Wiregrass. But a more in-depth review between the Tourism Development Council and the commissioners will have to wait for a public workshop slated for late October or

early November. At the Sept. 22 commissioners’ meeting, Charlie Johnson, president of Chicago-based Johnson Consulting Co., spent a few minutes going over the firm’s report, officially released in August. “Economically, you’re healthy,” Johnson told commissioners. “I think it’s (indoor facility) very positive and trends are very supportive of this.” In addition to the indoor complex, ball

fields also would be built outdoors, but the focus, at least initially, would be on such indoor sports as volleyball, basketball, wrestling, cheerleading and martial arts. Johnson cited facilities in Round Rock, Texas, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, as examples of municipalities with successful indoor facilities.

Reaching out to help a friend By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

They are unlikely friends. She is 63 and he is 24. She lives in New Tampa, and he lives in Roatan, Honduras. But Sally Hillman and William BrownSantos have a friendship that transcends their ages and backgrounds, and now, Hillman is trying to help her friend. Hillman and her husband, Dave, met Brown-Santos about seven years ago when the couple was taking a shore excursion off a cruise ship at the port of Roatan, Honduras. They had visited a park to see the monkeys and parrots, and Brown-Santos was their tour guide. Hillman felt an instant connection. “He was so pleasant, and knowledgeable and funny,” she said. At the end of the tour, Hillman approached Brown-Santos to let him know she would like to stay in touch. He gave her his contact information, but since he’s in the habit of shortening his last name to Brown, the letter she sent didn’t reach him. About six months later, Hillman and her husband made the same cruise, this time taking the trip with her son and his friend. While there, she overheard BrownSantos’ voice, and they reconnected. This

time, the connection stuck. They began corresponding, then texting and sending messages via Facebook. A couple of years later, Hillman went to Honduras again, this time with her daughter.They had the chance to spend time with

Brown-Santos’ family. All along, Hillman felt that Brown-Santos had been put in her life for a reason. Then, on Feb. 9, she received a frantic call from Brown-Santos’ mother. He had been driving his motorcycle at a high rate of speed, had skirted around a car parked on a curb, and ran head-on into a motorcyclist. At the scene, he was choking on his own blood, until a friend intervened. See FRIEND, page 11A

Many people call it Halloween. For others, it’s a fall festival. Whatever you call it, it’s a time for special events and things to do in your area. Some are a bit frightening and geared toward adults. Others are fun and feature activities for children. There might be games, treats and maybe a few scares, but there’s something for everyone. And while Halloween is at the end of October, many events start much sooner. You have a whole month to find fun activities for the entire family. Here’s a rundown of treats (no tricks) happening this month:

categories for best dressed scarecrow, cutest scarecrow and scariest scarecrow. So you can make one and be one at this event.

Need a car? Poor credit? Victory Lane can help Special to The Laker / Lutz News

Steve Morgan, general manager of Victory Lane Motorcars in Land O’ Lakes, loves his job because he helps people facing difficult times get financing to buy a vehicle. “Unfortunately, people have bad luck – bankruptcy, bad health, unemployment,” said Steve. “And when their luck is down, they cannot buy a car the traditional way because they have poor credit and little money for a down payment.” That’s where Steve and his sales manager, Harry Gooden, come in. “We’re able to get almost anyone in a car, even folks whose credit scores are as low as 400 to 500,” said Steve. “Helping someone get financing for a vehicle is often the first step in re-establishing their credit.” Steve explains that Victory Lane is not a “buy here, pay here” car lot. “Those lots do not report a client’s credit history to the credit bureaus. And because they don’t, a loan at a ‘buy here, pay here’ lot does nothing to help someone improve their credit score,” said Steve. Steve and Harry can usually qualify someone for financing in 15-20 minutes. “I like the challenge of helping people find the most affordable financing,” said Harry. “Once we do, within an hour, we can usually complete the sale, and send the customer home in a new car.” Victory Lane Motorcars keeps close to 100 vehicles on its lot and rotates its inventory every few weeks. It has everything from late model year vehicles with less than 30,000 miles, to cars for as little as $1,500 to $2,000. “You’ll see all models here, domestic and foreign, including Mercedes, Lexus, Mazda, pickup trucks and even Hummers,” said Steve.

Sales Manager Harry Gooden, left, and General Manager Steve Morgan at Victory Lane Motorcars in Land O’ Lakes.

Most customers come from Pasco County, but many travel from Tampa and St. Petersburg looking for a specific vehicle, said Steve. “And when someone comes by, they usually stay and buy from us, because of our personal touch and genuine customer service,” said Steve. “We’re here to make it happen,” adds Harry. “It is not unusual for us to stay open after closing hours to help a customer get their car that day.” Every car Victory Lane puts on its lot first goes through an intensive mechanical review. There is a full-time, certified mechanic on staff, and also a body shop. “Every one of our vehicles has been serviced and is ready to go,” said Harry. Harry and Steve have been selling vehicles for a long time. Steve and his father operated M & M Used Cars in Hamilton, Ohio for 58 years. Harry has been in the car business for more than 10. Victory Lane Motorcars is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., every day except Sunday, when the business is closed. Steve and Harry invite folks to come by to check out their huge inventory and overcome any credit issues they may have.

Pasco County’s namesake led an interesting life Descendants of Samuel Pasco and Jessie Denham

Knowing Your History

• John, b. Sept. 20, 1880, Monticello, Florida; d. May 5, 1961, Richmond, Virginia. Graduated from Virginia Military Institute in 1900 (General George Marshall’s class)

By Doug Sanders Special to The Laker

ome of us may know a bit about where the names for Collier and Flagler counties came from. But for those who don’t, it was Barron Collier who constructed the Tamiami Trail through the Everglades, connecting the two coasts of Florida. And, Henry Flagler was a key figure in the development of the Atlantic coast of Florida as the founder of the Florida East Coast Railway. But how much do we know about where Pasco County got its name? The county is named after Samuel W. Pasco, who was born in London, when Charles Dickens was still a young newspaper reporter for The Morning Chronicle. Pasco was born in a family of Cornish ancestry on June 28, 1834, some 200 feet from St. Paul’s Cathedral. He immigrated to the United States with his family and settled in Charlestown, Massachusetts in 1846. A strong student, Pasco graduated from Harvard College in 1858. He was recommended to a group of Southern Planters in Jefferson County, Florida. They wanted to educate their children with Pasco as the Principal of the Waukeenah Academy. But that appointment didn’t last long. When Fort Sumter was bombarded at the start of the Civil War three years later, Pasco closed the academy and, he along with 15 of his older students, enlisted in the Confederate army on August 10, 1861. They served in the Third Florida Volunteers. One former student, Pvt. Tom Pettus, was wounded during a heavy exchange of fire in July 1863 near Jackson, Mississippi. According to Clarence Smith’s wartime diary “Camp Fires of the Confederacy,” Pasco searched and found Pettus among the wounded during the heat of battle. Although Pettus died the next day, Pasco received a commendation from the vice president of the Confederacy. He also spent a week in January 1863 in Brooksville to get some stragglers to return to fight. In the fall of that year, Pasco was left on the field with his legs shattered by a lead

• Col. Hansell Merrill Pasco, b. October 1915, Thomasville, Georgia; d. November 2008, Richmond, Virginia. He was Secretary of the Army General Staff during World War II. • Attending the Pasco County Centennial in 1987: Mallory Pasco

“minnie” bullet during the battle of Chickamauga, near Chattanooga,Tennessee. Pasco was taken prisoner and spent nearly six months in different hospitals before being transferred to a Union Army prisonerof-war camp in Indianapolis, Indiana. Despite having Northern friends who tried to persuade him to take an oath of allegiance to the Union, Pasco did not and was held captive for 14 months, when he was released in March 1865, as part of an exchange of prisoners. He was paroled with the rank of sergeant. In 1869, he married Jessie Denham of Monticello, Florida. They had two daughters and three sons. His son, William Denham Pasco, was a lieutenant in the Spanish-

American War, when he was killed on Oct. 29, 1900. Pasco was a Baptist and a prominent Mason. He was elected president of Florida’s Constitutional Convention in 1885. He also served as Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives in 1887. During the 1880s, the southern part of Hernando County was filling rapidly with settlers. “We all were weary of traveling the sand trails of Brooksville, the county seat, to attend court, or transact other business of varied nature,” Dr. Richard C. Bankston recalled, in a letter dated Nov. 25, 1927. As a local member of the State Legislature, Bankston’s recollections described the need for a new county. He also

noted there was opposition to the proposed name of “Banner County.” At that time the Florida House and Senate were in joint session, voting for a United States Senator and they unanimously elected Pasco. Bankston saw his opportunity. “I immediately went to the committee room,” he wrote, “where I had a desk and changed our bill making the name Pasco instead of Banner,” he wrote. Within four hours on June 2, 1887, Gov. E. A. Perry signed into law a bill to divide Hernando County and to create Citrus and Pasco counties. On June 9, 1899, President William McKinley appointed Pasco as a member of the Isthmian Canal Commission, the presidential committee that laid the groundwork for construction of the Panama Canal. Pasco made his first recorded visit to the county bearing his name during the State Farmer’s Alliance meeting in Dade City on Oct. 28, 1891. One newspaper reported: “Senator Pasco, who was not barred from the meeting because of being a lawyer, went on record against the sub-treasury plan.” Seven years later, Pasco appeared again in Dade City to attend a Democratic rally that “was fairly well attended, considering the late hour at which it was held,” according to an account by another newspaper. There are no records that Samuel W. Pasco ever lived in Pasco County. But, for Pasco’s descendants, who attended the Pasco County Centennial in 1987, it must have been a proud occasion, to see the name of their ancestry on government offices, county vehicles and other local landmarks.

Hillman and Brown-Santos did a follow-up appointment with the orthopedic surgeon. “He’s fearful that this is permanent. He’s referred us to a neurologist, Hillman said. That news hit her hard. “I’m crying in the doctor’s office,” Hillman said. “I didn’t walk away with an optimistic view.That’s why I cried.” The appointment with the neurologist, which was Sept. 25, involved another test to find out the extent of the damage. “That will help to determine how severe the injuries are, and what possible steps could be taken,” Hillman said.

If surgery is required, Craven hopes an orthopedic surgeon will step forward to volunteer to handle the case. He doesn’t think a Go Fund Me account will raise a sufficient amount to cover those costs. Brown-Santos is grateful for the help he’s received so far, and he’s prepared to face any outcome. “It’s a blessing. It’s the first time in life somebody tried to do something nice for me,” Brown-Santos said. “If I can get better, I’ll be the happiest man in the world. If not, that’s God’s plan, and I just have to live with that. I really truly believe in God. So, I’m just going to keep praying and have faith that everything can work for the good. “If he doesn’t heal me, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t love me. “I’m going to just leave it in God’s hands,” Brown-Santos said.

Lady Quistas dig in for challenging schedule By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

The volleyball season has already started for PascoHernando State College, but coach Kim Whitney hasn’t attended their games. She doesn’t go to practice, either. She hasn’t abandoned her team. She’s just been a little busy. Whitney gave birth to her son, Francis, on Aug. 26. She hasn’t completely disappeared, though. That would be tough for Whitney, who’s built a perennial regional contender over the past decade.

But the game got away from the Gators, who fell to 2-2 and 0-1 in 6A-6 district play.

work together while under adversity. Frequent turnover is expected at a two-year college, but Whitney’s team returns just six players, and only half of those were starters. They’re playing with nine incoming freshmen and a couple of transfers, and everyone is learning how to maximize their effectiveness in the system. The coach is happy with what she’s seen, even if she’s seeing it from afar. She’s watching film, staying in touch with her assistant coach and captains, and monitoring the team’s progress. If it can limit mistakes, Whitney believes she’ll return to a team that can repeat the success of last year’s national tournament-qualifying squad. “You’ve got to work through the processes and different things that challenge a team,” Whitney said. “I think they’re going to be great.”

A ride through history, with rare and exotic cars Worth the Trip By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

t’s not located on a busy thoroughfare, but people who enjoy exotic cars, or who have a penchant for innovation, will find much to enjoy at the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum. This is a place where history comes to life through vehicles. The museum houses the private collection of Alain Cerf, owner of Polypack, a business located next door. Polypack, which began outside of Paris, is a manufacturer of automatic packaging machinery. Cerf opened the museum on March 19, 2005, to share his unique collection with the general public. “The founder of the business was born and raised in France and actually began the business in France, had a factory just outside of Paris,” said John Perodeau, a museum employee. “They started doing work in the United States and in the mid-1970s, he moved his business and his family from Paris, France, to Pinellas Park, Florida. “When they moved, they brought not only the business and the family, but they brought what were then the family cars. “The first three cars in here, and then a couple of more that are in the back, are the cars that came with them across the Atlantic. “The rest of the cars in the collection have been selected because they display some sort of innovative engineering or technology, something that was new, different and pioneering for its time,” Perodeau said. “We’re not a typical classic car museum. We don’t have Duesenbergs and Packards and Pierce-Arrows. They’re very nice cars, but their engineering was conventional, and we focus on the unconventional. “We focus on engineering innovations in automobiles,” Perodeau added. Something else that’s unusual? The cars in this museum sometimes can be seen tooling down the road. “They all have Florida license plates. They’re registered and insured. They may get taken home at the end of the day after work. They go out on weekends. They go to parades and car shows. They don’t just sit here in the museum,” Perodeau said. The collection has a total of 63 cars. Visitors are free to get close to them and take as many photos as they want. They are asked not to touch the cars, but if they’d like to look under the hood or inside the car, they can ask the museum staff to give them that closer look. Staff members are knowledgeable about the history of automobiles and new developments. Perodeau and Gary Lasasso, another museum staffer, welcome queries. “If you have a question on any of the cars, one of us will get you an answer,” Perodeau said. During a recent visit, Lasasso pointed out innovations of various vehicles, talked about the people who designed and manufactured them, and offered historical context, too. The 12,000-square-foot gallery space includes examples of some of the finest early approaches to aerodynamic shapes and packaging, front wheel drive, unibody construction, and pioneering uses of materials such as cast aluminum and pressed steel. The innovation of engineers such as Paul Jaray (the designer of the Zeppelin airships), Gabriel Voisin (aircraft from World War I and beyond), Edmund Rumpler (aircraft from World War I and beyond) and Jean Albert Gregoire (Tracta front wheel drive) are present in automobiles throughout the collection. There are also examples that celebrate the work of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, Hans Ledwinka and others. Lasasso is a huge fan of Gregoire. In fact, he admires Gregoire’s innovations

Chenard-Walcker was a French automobile and commercial vehicle manufacturer from 1898 to 1946.

This is the first impression you’ll get when you walk into the Tampa Bay Auto Museum in Pinellas Park. Besides offering scores of visual treats, the museum tells a story of creativity and ingenuity, as expressed through vehicles.

As visitors approach The Tampa Bay Auto Museum, they may wonder what awaits them inside. Once they walk in, they’ll find a collection of vehicles that, beyond being visually appealing, also help tell the story of automobile design.

The display includes automobiles from France, Germany, England, Ireland, the United States and the former Czechoslovakia.

LOCAL WILDLIFE PET of the WEEK

The family ‘guardian angel’ Pepper is a lab, terrier mix and part of a rescue operation. On Mother’s Day, 12 years ago, he nuzzled his way into our hearts and has been our constant companion since. At 13 years old, he moves a little slower, and he sleeps a bit longer, but he still enjoys life, laying in the sun and rolling in the grass. Always the family guardian, he keeps constant watch over us and makes certain we’re all ‘safe in our place.’ Pepper is the center of attention around our home, and has earned this through the many years of his unconditional love to us all. Pepper’s proud owners are Jay and Terri Dusek of Land O’ Lakes.
