Electronic billboards coming to Pasco By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Pasco County officials want to weed out unsightly static billboards in favor of a more limited number of electronic billboards. But, how to swap out one for the other and how quickly to do that are issues that are open for debate. Pasco County commissioners discussed the matter at a workshop on Oct. 13 in New Port Richey.

County staff members in the coming months will compile an inventory of existing billboards and locations, get input from stakeholders — including business owners and residents— and draft an ordinance permitting electronic billboards. The public would have an opportunity to weigh in before a new ordinance could be adopted. Staff members estimate the process See BILLBOARDS, page15A

A woman sits inside a modest chapel in Zephyrhills, and her voice is shaking. She’s describing the loss of a loved one, and the guilt she feels about that loss. A chaplain and a therapist sit with her and listen, then try to comfort her by sharing their own perspectives. Her grief is natural, they say, and a normal part of life. Beginning that afternoon, she takes important steps on her journey of mourning and healing. It’s a scene that plays out all too often at Gulfside Hospice, 5760 Dean Dairy Road in Zephyrhills. But this time it’s different. Mary Ann Polom isn’t grieving over the loss of a human family member. It’s her beloved toy poodle, Annie, who was put to sleep just a few weeks before. For Polom, and many others with pets, a dog or cat isn’t like family. They are family. And the loss they feel when their pet dies is just as real and valid as other losses. Friends and family sometimes don’t see it the same way. They will say things like “it’s just a dog,” not realizing the depth of the connection the two shared. That can leave a pet owners feeling confused, embarrassed, and guilty over their feelings, which compounds the grief.

MICHAEL MURILLO/STAFF PHOTOS

Mary Ann Polom attended a recent pet loss support group meeting to share her feelings after losing Annie, her toy poodle.

Polom made that tough decision, and a month later she still felt guilty. “I can’t seem to forgive myself,” she admitted.“She was like my little partner.” One thing that sticks in her mind is how Annie seemed to be doing better right at the end of her life. It’s a common occurrence, even with humans, for the sick to experience a rally of sorts even as their condition worsens. Polom experienced the same thing with her father when he passed away. But seeing Annie behave normally, even for a short time, makes her question if she did the right thing. And after losing her husband to cancer a decade ago, letting Annie go has left her alone. The parallels between human and pet loss aren’t unique to Polom’s situation. According to Schneider, the grief and loss can be similar, so helping those in mourning can be similar as well. “A lot of what we do in the pet group is what we do with families, because we live ‘MY LITTLE PARTNER’ in a society that really doesn’t educate, and Annie’s problems started doesn’t really like to talk about death and about a year earlier, when dying,” she said. she broke her hip.

See PETS, page15A her down. Shelley Schneider, vice-president of counseling and advocacy services at Gulfside Hospice, said their reaction is actually a perfectly normal response to the death of a loved one. “Sometimes people don’t quite understand why people are grieving so hard for losing an animal,” Schneider explained. “We just really want to validate that what they’re going through is appropriate, normal, and common.” Gulf Hospice provides that validation with a free monthly pet loss support group, and the organization is hoping to reach anyone in the community mourning a pet’s death who needs to share and be heard by people who understand. Word of the group reached Polom in her time of grief, and she attended a recent meeting.

Since 2009, Swamp Fest has been a local event, with games, rides and family-oriented fun. And according to organizer Doug Hutchinson, it will always stay that way.

Swamp Fest returns, and so does the fun By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

This weekend's Swamp Fest has actually been two years in the making. But the organizers weren't behind schedule. The event had to skip a year because of renovations underway at Land O' Lakes Community Park, 5401 Land O' Lanes Blvd. That $2.4 million project is now complete and the park is ready for Swamp Fest again, which will be held Oct. 30 through Nov.1. This year, the festival will be held on new and improved grounds, and the event promises to deliver the kind of fun that has drawn thousands each year since it started in 2009. "I think it's just a nicer layout that they're going to have," explained Mike Walcott, recreation supervisor for Pasco County Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources. "The access to the facility is much improved." The disabled parking area is away from the dirt and grass, and a short walk from the parking lot to the Swamp Fest entrance means a paved area for vendors and less time walking through uneven areas. Organizer and co-founder Doug Hutchinson is thrilled to bring Swamp Fest back. "The improvements that they've made are fantastic. The park is beautiful," Hutchinson said. "We're really excited. We just missed it so much last year." They'll make up for lost time with a full weekend of activities and entertainment. That itinerary includes several music acts with different styles, including Christian rock, classic rock and folk music. Dancers will be on display Sunday, and vendors representing a variety of businesses and groups will be open all weekend. The midway also makes a return, with rides up and running throughout the event. While the fun to be had would alone make the event worthwhile, there’s more to it. A lot more. The event actually is a fundraiser for various groups and organizations. The Land O' Lakes High School Athletic Booster Club hosts Swamp Fest, but funds are distributed across several local schools and clubs. Various clubs help by selling unlimitedride arm bands in advance, assist with parking and participate in other activities. More than $20,000 went back to com-

munity organizations as a result of 2013's Swamp Fest, according to Hutchinson. So, it isn’t just a good event to attend, Hutchinson said. It’s also an event that does good for the community. "We're trying to make Swamp Fest more of a community fair-type event where all kinds of non-profit groups can come in," he said. In addition to Land O' Lakes High School, other participants include Sunlake High School, Pineview Middle School, Denham Oaks Elementary School, Connerton Elementary School and Sanders Memorial Elementary School. This year the event will feature two contests that are expected to be popular. Since the festival includes Halloween, a Halloween contest will be held on Oct. 31. And, the Mr. and Mrs. Swamp Fest pageant, which includes a wide range of ages, will make a return as well. The event's website contains the quote "Always in Land O' Lakes," and it's not there for decoration. As coordinator for the Flapjack Festival years back, Hutchinson saw that event get moved to Dade City and then fade away when it left the community. He pledges that won't ever happen with Swamp Fest. It's supported by the area and will remain in the area. "You can't have a community event if you don't have it in the community," Hutchinson said. "It's got to be Land O' Lakes, or nothing." And Walcott agrees. "It's not a state fair or a county fair. It's a Land O' Lakes event. It's for this community," he said. "Obviously, we get people from all over the county that come to it. But it's just nice to have something that you can kind of lay claim to, that this is yours." Swamp Fest is open Oct. 30 from 4 p.m. until 11 p.m., Oct. 31, from noon until 11 p.m. and Nov. 1 from noon until 6 p.m. Admission is free and parking is available for a $5 donation. Midway rides require tickets, which can be purchased individually or as part of an all-you-can-ride package. Unlimited armbands cost $22 for Oct. 30 and Nov. 1 and $25 on Oct. 31, and can be purchased at the gate. Pre-sale armbands cost $16, and are available from local businesses and groups. For a complete list of groups selling armbands and for more information, including pageant applications, visit LoLSwampFest.com.

Moore said he listened to the criticisms, and requested county staff members to tweak the ordinance. For instance, owners won’t have to worry about code enforcement inspectors defining buildings that had too much peeling paint. “It’s very hard to measure that so we took it off,” he said. Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco supported the ordinance as a tool to raze abandoned buildings that are havens for criminal activities. Nearly 600 service calls have been answered so far this year around the intersection of U.S. 19 and State Road 52 where there is an empty retail store, fast-food restaurant and a boarded up bank building. And, the Sheriff’s Office has responded to more than 200 calls from an area near U.S. 19 and Alternate U.S. 19, near a closed medical clinic, according to the law enforcement agency’s data. But not everybody agrees with tougher restrictions. Greg Conaty told commissioners he worries that the county doesn’t have the

ly. However, in some cases no leak could be found or documented, and the excessive water usage remains a mystery. For billing adjustments, Schrader preferred a 50,000-gallon a month threshold, based on data and an initial recommendation from county staff members. An average for most customers is about 6,000 gallons a month. Commissioners were told that during the hottest months, customers with irrigation systems would typically use 20,000 to 30,000 gallons a month, and sometimes more. Schrader said the county could expect a lot of complaints based on the 20,000-gallon threshold, and might need to adjust the number. “I think it’s easier to go back down than to go back up,” he said. Bruce Kennedy, assistant county administrator for utilities, also issued an apology to Pasco water customers. “We know the way we handled these billing issues has not reflected our commitment to good customer service,” he said. “Our policies and procedures certainly need revising.They need repair.”

• 154 from normal irrigation use County officials still can’t explain the meter’s reading for an 18-day period when Gritmon’s residence was vacant. But under the new ordinance, her reduced charges would be about $125, according to county calculations. That’s a 94 percent reduction. Gritmon believes the policy is unfair. From her seat in the audience, she told commissioners that even under that policy, she’s being billed “for water I did not use.” She believes it would be fair to charge her just under $41, which is on average what the county has billed her monthly over the past year. Previously county officials said they had no way under current regulations to remedy bills for Gritmon or others in similar situations. Only billing errors and verifiable leaks could prompt billing adjustments. County officials cited the audit, which found water meters were recording correct-

manpower to take on new regulations. “I’m worried about the selective enforcement of it,” said Conaty, whose family owns Land O’ Lakes Recycling on U.S. 41, south of Ehren Cutoff. He said his business has been the focus of code enforcement in past disputes with another nearby business. “I’m not sure we need more rules if we can’t enforce rules we already have on the books,” Conaty said. “I believe something should be done but it should be fair and across the board for everyone.” Elizabeth Villanova, a 10-year Pasco County resident, was among a group of Land O’ Lakes business owners and residents who lobbied Moore for help in taking on commercial blight. She created a Facebook page for “Land O’ Lakes Beautification Efforts”, a grassroots campaign that has garnered about 570 signatures on a petition to clean up U.S. 41. Property values can drop because of blighted buildings, she said. “It’s been depressing to watch the complete degradation of (U.S.) 41 specifically. We desperately want this enforced on U.S. 41.”

Cutting a path toward development Knowing Your History By Doug Sanders Special to The Laker

t 128 feet tall and 26 feet around, a bald cypress tree in Pasco County is the eighth tallest of its kind in Florida. And, it will always be protected in the Upper Pithlachascotee River Preserve, 1 mile east of the Suncoast Parkway. The land was purchased from the proceeds of the Penny for Pasco 1-cent sales tax approved by Pasco County voters. That is good news for future generations. Because it only took 37 years for the Cummer Sons Cypress Company to log the centuries-old cypress trees for the company’s logging operations. Loggers like Jacob Cummer, who harvested much of the old-growth cypress in east and central Pasco County, probably skipped over this tree because of a large scar on its western side, presumably from a lightning strike. Cummer had bought land for timber in Virginia, North Carolina, and Louisiana. In 1922, the Cummer operation acquired a 100-acre site in Lacoochee to construct the largest sawmill and box factory in the South. A railroad was built in the Green Swamp to transport cypress trees from land that totaled more than 50 square miles in east Pasco and west Polk Counties. Many of the cypress trees were cut with an ax before the chainsaw was invented. Using a sophisticated network of levers and racks, cypress logs as large as 6 feet in diameter were lifted out of the swamps and, at one point, produced more than 100,000 citrus crates each day. With 700 employees and the largest payroll in Pasco County, coupons could be used as part of workers’ paychecks in the prospering downtown of Lacoochee. In the years after the Cummer sawmills opened, a two-story, 30-room hotel was built.

13,000 acres, extending as far south as present-day Tampa Palms and Pebble Creek. Despite cypress exteriors exposed to harsh winters and hot summers, many old buildings in New York City have a rooftop water tank that is hardly considered outdated.

Land O’ Lakes watercolorist Bob McAnespie doesn’t like to refer to himself as an artist. He calls himself a painter. In his view, an artist is to a painter, what a chef is to a cook. The Land O’ Lakes man teaches a watercolor class for beginners at the Land O’ Lakes Recreation Complex. The three-hour sessions are held on Thursdays and cost $10 each. Supplies for the class cost about $50. McAnespie encourages anyone who is interested in creating watercolor paintings to give it a try. “The only way you can fail in watercolor is if you quit. If you stick with it and have any talent at all, you’re going to get somewhere,” said McAnespie, who is a signature member of the COURTESY OF BOB MCANESPIE National Watercolor Society and the Bob McAnespie has spent decades refining his Florida Watercolor Society. watercolor painting skills.

Pasco’s tourism sets new record

Boktoberfest offers plants and more

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

The seventh annual Boktoberfest Plant Sale on Oct. 17 and Oct. 18, at Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, offered more than just plants. There was German entertainment, clown shows, German food, craft beers, tree climbing, children’s activities, a petting zoo, live carillon music, arts and crafts, and guest speakers. Andy Hamilton, owner of Twisted Mind Rusty Metal, used parts of a sewing machine and a fan to create this scrap metal ‘car.’

Pasco County has posted its best year in tourism, according to county officials. “This last year has been one for the record books,” Ed Caum Tourism Manager for VisitPasco, said in a news release. “We surpassed our prediction of 10 percent growth and are up 17 percent over last years collections,” he said. Specifically, Pasco County posted $968,263 in Tourist Tax collections, in the period between October 2014 and the end of September 2015. Pasco’s results are in keeping with record numbers of tourists visiting Florida. That trend is expected to continue, according to VisitFlorida, which is predicting that tourism and the hospitality industries will continue to experience growth. Counties surrounding Pasco County also have experienced record years in Tourist Tax collection. “We have expanded our marketing reach in the last two years to reach out to international travelers, as well as North America,” Caum explained. “Last year we focused on Germany and this year we will be reaching out to the United Kingdom and into South America to the Spanish speaking countries.” VisitFlorida trends show that Florida is expected to attract tourists from the emerging markets of Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina and Mexico. The impact of tourism on Pasco County is captured in a report from the U.S. Travel Association: • Travel spending in Pasco was nearly $466 million, generated from more than

500,000 visitors • Travel created nearly 6,000 full-time employees, with an annual payroll in Pasco County of $106.2 million • Local sales tax generated from those visitors totaled more than $14.9 million “Tourism continues to be an economic engine in Pasco County,” Caum said. Caum offered additional details at an breakfast meeting of the Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce. Caum also talked about bright prospects for a greater number of tourists, as attractions such as Tampa Premium Outlets and Florida Hospital Center Ice open in Wesley Chapel, and people take advantage of the newly opened Tree Hoppers in Dade City and Sunwest Park in Hudson. The hospitality industry is gearing up for increased tourism. Pasco County currently has 3,556 hotel rooms, according to Caum. He expects Pasco’s hotel stock to increase by 75 beds a year for the next five years. Besides the growth generated by new attractions, Pasco has long been a magnet for skydivers and for visitors to the county’s nudist resorts, which attract visitors from throughout Florida and from around the globe. Caum said healthy tourism figures bode well for people who work directly in the hospitality industry, as well as for all Pasco business owners and residents. The taxes paid by tourists reduce the tax burden for Florida residents, tourism provides jobs, and the amenities that are created to attract visitors, Caum said, can be enjoyed year-round by local residents.

BILLBOARDS, from page 1A could take a year-and-a-half. Some commissioners want a much shorter time span, and a quick route to taking down static billboards. Looking at how Hillsborough and Pinellas counties handle the matter would provide ready answers, said Pasco County Commissioner Mike Moore. “Talk to them. Figure it out. Get it done in a week,” he said. “We’re going to sit here and talk about this for a year? Come on, guys.” Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, and Tampa negotiated agreements with billboard companies to swap out multiple numbers of the old billboards in return for new, but lower numbers of permits for electronic billboards. The electronic billboards, with two sides, rotate digital advertisements every few seconds. These are becoming standard fare along busy interstates. The fees for these digital messages are more expensive than those for standard, one-sided billboards. “These are so much cleaner than regular billboards,” Moore said. “They look so much better.” Pasco County Commissioner Jack Mariano suggested letting the billboard industry provide data and recommend a swap-out ratio to take some of the research burden off county staff members. At minimum, he would anticipate an industry recommendation to remove five static billboards for each single electronic billboard. “Let them do their own homework and

what signs they want to take down,” he said. Commissioners then can look at the proposal and decide if it works for the county, Mariano added. Staff members have met with four companies that each has 10 or more static billboards in Pasco: Clear Channel, Champion Outdoor Advertising, Outfront Media and Logan Outdoor Advertising. They plan to continue with these discussions, as well as talking with small business owners. In 1999, the county adopted a moratorium on new billboards. The inventory at the time showed 537 registered billboards in the county. Those numbers are somewhat lower now, said Pat Wallace, a county senior development review technician. The moratorium should remain in effect, said Pasco County Chairman Ted Schrader. “I don’t want to see a bunch of new signs going up,” he said. “I’m absolutely opposed to that.” It is not clear, even with a new ordinance allowing electronic billboards, just when Pasco would see them popping up. The county’s population isn’t considered dense enough to warrant them as yet. “It will be years before they actually do it,” said Elizabeth Blair, Pasco County assistant attorney. “It’s not financially productive to them.” Exactly where the flashier billboards would go also could raise concerns with residents, especially those living near commercial corridors, said Pasco County Commissioner Kathryn Starkey. “I can’t think of very many people in our county for whom an electronic billboard won’t be disruptive,” she said.

MALL, from page 1A giveaways. Rack Room Shoes, for instance, will give shoppers a chance to win a $500 gift card and other giveaways, including coupon books with discounts, according to a news release from the shoe company. The 441,000-square-foot mall is designed with a “Key West” vibe, with airy pastel colors, a multitude of palm trees, covered walkways and water features. The centerpiece is a clear blue lagoon outside the Market Hall, which houses customers services, the food court and a lounge where people can sit and watch television. A bridge crosses the lagoon, which is surrounded by a deck with benches and bistro chairs. A fire pit and Adirondack chairs are nearby. “I think it will be a feature where people will want to take their picture by,” Nance said. Traffic in and out of the mall is expected to be heavy but Nance said talks have been ongoing for months with Pasco County Sheriff’s Office. Typically, opening days at malls see parking lots turn over four or five times. “It’s going to be a constant ebb and flow throughout the day,” Nance predicted. The mall will offer valet parking on a trial basis. If successful, Nance anticipates the service will become permanent. On opening weekend, 12 extra duty law enforcement officers, paid for by the mall, will be stationed at mall entrances as well as inside the mall, Pasco County Sheriff’s spokesman Kevin Doll said. The officers will include two supervisors. If more help is needed, Doll said the sheriff’s citizen patrol group could be tapped to help with traffic. “We’ve handled big events in the past,” he said.“Hopefully this will go smoothly.” Outlet mall openings are special events wherever they happen, said Linda

Humphers, editor in chief of Value Retail News/International Council of Shopping Centers. There are only about 100 outlet malls or so in the nation. In the central Florida area, Tampa Premium Outlets is situated between outlet malls in Orlando and New Ellenton. “That’s part of the mystique of them,” Humphers said. “You go there. You stay longer and spend more. It’s not like going to a mall and getting something you need.” Outlet mall developers typically look for locations with easy access, high visibility, lots of rooftops and a solid tourism base, Humphers said. Pasco scores on all counts for Tampa Premium Outlets, which is off State Road 56 and the Interstate 75 interchange. And the county recently released a report showing a record number of tourist visitors and revenues in the past year. Marketing for the Tampa Premium Outlets extends into the Tampa Bay region, but in future could spread a wider net, Nance said. “We’ll definitely be looking at that when we get further along in our marketing plan,” she said. Pasco’s future is set on a course for more retail and rooftops as developers saturate commercial corridors such as State Road 54 and State Road 56. New shops are coming to property northeast of the Shoppes at Wiregrass. The Florida Center Ice sports complex is expected to open in 2016. Cypress Creek Town Center is anticipating openings for Chick Fil A, Culver’s and Cheddar Café. And the town center’s representatives recently met with county planners to discuss construction of a retail building, parking space and a boat storage area. Speculation is that sporting goods retailer, Cabelas, is on the way to Wesley Chapel, too. And there is a lot of buzz swirling around Tampa Premium Outlets’ opening day, Humphers said. “Retail begets retail,” she said.

PHSC VOLLEYBALL TEAM CLINCHES SPOT IN REGIONAL TOURNEY

University, the former forward still holds the men’s career scoring record at the university. He also played professional indoor soccer as well, and believes his own experiences as a player have helped create a successful program as a coach. “You just pick up little things, things you can tell kids,” he said. “I tell them that’s how I got to the next level, by listening to coaches.” Club soccer helps as well. All of his starters play at the club level, and many athletes on the junior varsity team participate, too. That extra coaching, experience and playing opportunity helps keep the high school team operating at a high level, Koleduk said. While Sunlake has run into some talented teams at the state level, junior Sebastian Restrepo doesn’t mince words when explaining why they haven’t advanced to the state finals. “We needed a lot more heart,” he said of last year’s semi-finals performance. “The other team wanted it more than us at one point.” This year, he sees a team that’s more focused, works well together and has the

Prep football news and notes Sunlake fell to Mitchell, 21-14, in a 6A6 district clash Oct. 23. It was the Seahawks’ first loss of the season, leaving them 3-1 in the district and 7-1 overall. Despite the loss, the results of other district matches helped clinch a playoff spot for Sunlake as no worse than district runner-up. Nine games into the season, Steinbrenner’s 2015 squad is officially the most successful in school history. With a 51-15 victory over Alonso Oct. 23, the Warriors pushed their record to 8-1, becoming Steinbrenner’s first eight-win team. And with a 5-1 record in 8A-6 district

The Pasco-Hernando State College volleyball team defeated State College of Florida 3-0 on Oct. 24. While it was a good win, there were bigger ramifications for the Lady Quistas.

That mark guarantees them a winning record, which automatically qualifies them for post-season action in District P. While it’s an impressive accomplishment, it isn’t a surprising one.

Junior Sebastian Restrepo is used to dominating opponents with assists. This year he’ll probably be asked to do more of the scoring himself.

synergy to go farther than previous seasons. Now in his third year on the team, Restrepo has become the county’s premier assist generator. But a new offensive attack means he’ll have to do a little more scoring himself, and he’s ready for the challenge. “I’ll have to look for the goal now. Instead of giving them the easy passes for them to score, I’ll just take a shot here and there,” Restrepo said. If those and other shots go in, Koleduk believes they’ll have another chance to advance one step closer toward a coveted state title.

Joanie Einemann of Land O’ Lakes , a member of the Harvester United Methodist Church, replenishes the pumpkin patch to fill gaps left by the sale of some of the patch’s larger pumpkins. She volunteered to help sell some of the 2,000 pumpkins at the patch being sold on the church grounds, at Collier Parkway in Land O’ Lakes.

Pumpkins give fall festive feel The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

While Florida lacks the glorious display of colorful fall leaves other parts of the country enjoy, there is one clear sign that fall is in the air here. Pumpkin patches are popping up at locations all over northern Hillsborough,

Central Pasco and East Pasco counties. There’s a patch near Seal Swim School in Lutz, and there was one at the San Antonio Rattlesnake Festival & Run in San Antonio, and this pumpkin patch, at Harvester United Methodist Church in Land O’ Lakes, featured some 2,000 of the orange orbs.

Six year-old, Reno Horne of Land O’ Lakes was happy about his find in the pumpkin patch at the Harvester United Methodist Church. Reno plans to transform his pumpkin into a Jack o’ lantern for Halloween. He and his mom, Leslie Horne and Reno’s sisters, 4year-old Brighton, and 11-year-old Ayla, checked out the patch for additional pumpkins of various sizes to use for decorations.

Above, despite a huge assortment of pumpkins at the Harvester United Methodist Church, 16-month-old Gavin Ruppert preferred the mini-sized ones. At right, carrying a pumpkin like he was running a touchdown, 18-month old, Hayden Goad heads to the cashier with his parents, Corey and Ashley Goad and his big brother, 6-year-old Hunter.

There are rows and rows of various type and size pumpkins at the Harvester United Methodist Church pumpkin patch. Pumpkin prices range from 50 cents to $30.

Charlie and Eddie are 4-pound Chihuahuas and are sweet as can be. We rescued both of them — Charlie four years ago, and Eddie two years ago. Eddie was afraid of everything, and cried at every little noise and movement we made. It took us a year to work with him, and now he is a really happy dog that loves to lie in the sun and play with Charlie. They travel everywhere with us, even to Europe every year. We can't imagine being without the boys, and adopting them was the best decision ever for our family. Charlie’s and Eddie’s proud owners are Connie and Doug Goserud.
