Historic election comes to a close By Kathy Steele ksteele@lakerlutznews.com
Votes will be counted on Nov. 8 to determine which candidate will be the next president of the Unites States – Donald J. Trump or Hillary Clinton. But, voters also will choose candidates running for state and local office in Pasco and Hillsborough counties. Absentee and early voting ballots already are being stockpiled in election offices. On election day, both counties will offer free bus rides to people who can show a valid voter information card. In Pasco, early voting began on Oct. 29 at eight locations around the county. Voters

Construction is underway to widen Bruce B. Downs Boulevard from four lanes to eight lanes, from Pebble Creek Boulevard to County Line Road. It is the last of four phases of a multi-year project to ease traffic congestion on one of the county’s busiest thoroughfares. The $24.7 million project will add travel lanes, sidewalks and bicycle lanes, along about 1.5 miles of roadway. Completion on this segment is expected in late 2018. Area residents are hopeful that more lanes will ease traffic congestion along a corridor popping with new retail, apartments and houses. But, concerns remain among residents who drive the packed roadway daily for shopping errands, trips to Wharton High School and commutes to jobs. On Oct. 18, about 20 residents attended a pre-construction meeting at Wharton High School to get a look at the new road design, and pose questions to Hillsborough County planners and traffic engineers. Most expressed concerns about traffic lights, and how motorists and pedestrians will navigate a widened road with four lanes running in each direction. Some had a historical view of a road that, for years, was mostly empty of shops and residences. “I remember when it was the road to nowhere,” said Carlotta Bernard, who lives in the Meadow Pointe neighborhood, off Bruce B. Downs. Now, she said her neighborhood is in the midst of development all around, from The Shops at Wiregrass in Pasco County to the University of South Florida area in

Florida Hospital Center Ice Facility overview
It’s almost here. The highly-anticipated Florida Hospital Center Ice hockey complex is slated to open in mid-December. According to Gordie Zimmermann, a developer with Z Mitch, the complex’s “soft opening” may occur somewhere between Dec. 10 and Dec. 15. The facility’s grand opening, he said, will likely be held sometime in early January. In May, officials said the 150,500-squarefoot complex would open in late October. But, weather setbacks and technological hurdles has delayed the $20 million project, at 3173 Cypress Ridge Road in Wesley Chapel. Now, the complex is undergoing a “fourto-five week” project-commissioning period. “There’s a lot of things that have to happen,” Zimmermann said of the commissioning period. “There’s a lot of flushing of the big, main pipes.Then they’ve got to test all the controls, and all the motors and compressors.” The complex operates off a single refrigeration package, which also serves as a dehumidification system.The process is multifaceted, Zimmermann said. “The whole system is connected,” Zimmermann said,“so in order for it to be running like a charm, everything has to balance — the ice on all the rinks, (and) the dehumidifiers.” Zimmermann, who helped develop the Ice Sports Forum in Brandon, added it typically takes about three to four days to finish a sheet of ice for each rink. Described as the largest ice sports facility in the southeastern United States, the finished building will house five ice rinks, a

multipurpose sports floor, a 2,600-squarefoot fitness facility and an indoor sprint track. The multipurpose floor will be used for several sports, including roller hockey, volleyball, basketball, lacrosse and soccer. There also will be a full-service family restaurant on the second floor and five party rooms totaling 17,000 square feet. Once the facility opens to the public, Zimmermann said the “Learn to Skate” program will be offered first, followed by various recreational and in-house youth leagues. Registration for those programs will soon be available on the Center Ice website, Zimmermann said. Meanwhile, other activities — public skating and pickup hockey games — will take place. “The first thing that’s really going to happen in a big way here is the skating,” Zimmermann said.“We have some big group events that are scheduling with us, and then shortly into the February timeframe, we have a lot of tournaments starting up and running all the way through July.” While membership and league fees are See HOCKEY, page 13A

Restaurateur encounters proverbial fork in the road
By Tom Jackson
tjackson@lakerlutznews.com
C
urtis Beebe might not be an economist, but time and again he has demonstrated shrewd understanding of the most complicated, most vital of economic principles: opportunity cost. Investopia calls that “the benefit a person could have received, but gave up, to take another course of action.” Confused? I know. Economics is hard. Luckily, we have Robert Frost, the turn-ofthe-20th-Century philosopher/poet, who explained opportunity cost simply and elegantly (and possibly inadvertently) in his masterpiece,“The Road Not Taken.” Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. In short, life is about choices, and each selection contains both a cost and a benefit. Which brings us back to Beebe, who, having analyzed and agonized, hopes his latest decision in a series of headline-worthy elections is low on costs and high in benefits. It’s not hard to like his chances. Not just because Beebe is an analytical guy, but also because he is a demonstrated entrepreneur with a little Beat Generation philosopher/poet in him — Donald Sutherland’s cerebral “Oddball” from “Kelly’s Heroes,” minus the Sherman tanks. Having worked most of his life in IT and dabbled in local electoral politics, in his latest iteration, Beebe (“bee-bee”), 54, is a restaurateur, who lately has added through subtraction. Until about a month ago, he and his wife of 31 years, Rebecca, presided over three east Pasco eateries:The Pearl in the Grove (whose farm-to-fork menu won a Florida Trend Golden Spoon last year) near St. Joseph, Rebecca’s at City Market in Dade City and, in downtown San Antonio, the LOCAL Public House & Provisions. Now they’re down to one, the LOCAL, a hybrid of the neighborhood pub and upscale dining experience. In the space that was once the town’s only grocery store, and after that a coffeehouse, Beebe offers 16 local craft beers on tap and a menu of delights that borrows heavily from the Pearl’s

farm-basket-fresh experience. What didn’t make the transition is the full complement of employees from the closed restaurants. Six came to the LOCAL from Rebecca’s, none from the Pearl, leaving 15 – “Mostly part-timers,” Beebe reports – out of work. The closings also meant Beebe had to negotiate early exit agreements with his landlords. Still, retrenchment wasn’t at all what the Beebes had in mind when they expanded for a third time late in 2015, opening Rebecca’s on the back side of the block that includes Kiefer Village Jewelers and Williams Lunch on Limoges. “That really was a classic case of my reach exceeding my grasp,” Beebe concedes now, tucked into a couch in the side room of the LOCAL.“We got way out over our skis trying to do three.” It’s not that Beebe didn’t love each in its own way, as a parent does children. But, chefdriven restaurants rarely survive when the chef is often absent, and that quickly became evident as 2016 ground on. The IT-guy-turned-high-end-cook probably will miss the Pearl the most. After all, it had turned out to be a rare gem: a destination dining experience that lured visitors from around the region.“Lightning in a bottle,” Beebe says. Opened in 2010, for a while it was all

good. But,“all good” in the restaurant industry has a different definition than it might elsewhere. Beebe calls this the “interesting economic realities of fine dining.” He explains:“If everything goes perfectly, you clear 7 percent.” Seven percent. If the stars align ideally and remain that way indefinitely.That’s cutting it close. Again, opportunity cost intrudes. The sharp investor guys at the Motley Fool can, for a small fee, point out a basket of stocks that, between growth and dividends, project a 7 percent return and then some. And, you have your evenings free. Alas, everything was not exactly perfect at the Pearl, which, for all its allure, was full, Beebe says, only two nights a week. “The Pearl, by itself, was never going to support my family,” Beebe says. And, again, it suffered from his divided attention. The LOCAL, on the other hand, does business

enough to keep the Beebes, including son Jackson, who helps manage the place, in the black. Beebe concedes disappointment that he couldn’t make three work. But, once the decision was made in late September, there was no looking back.After all, he’d been down this road once before, when he shed the business that had been his identity — IT guy — the first 25 years of his working life. For ages, when he’d share beers and stories with other professional geeks, he’d drill down on the source of his career discontent. “When was the last time,” he’d say,“the dollars your client spent on you was highest, best use of their money?” This probably is not a question with which anyone who supplies product or a service wants to wrangle. But Beebe, his 40s unwinding in a series of unfulfilling projects — “The technology never worked, or it broke, or it was complicated,” he says — was insistent. Was this all there was? At the end, he was both self-employed and “very, very underemployed.” Somehow, he found his way into the kitchen, and from that, at an unlikely age, a new life bloomed. Still, and to his credit, Beebe appears to learn from every experience. Having done four years as a Dade City commissioner — time he seems to regard as a hitch as a draftee in the Army — Beebe says he gained respect for career politicians and professional bureaucrats. “They’ve created this process that’s not easy to figure out,” he says, “and they know how it works.They know how to keep things running.” As for him, he has figured out how to be the best restaurateur he knows how to be, and it swirls around a single kitchen in one location to which he can be devoted.And now, when he’s sharing beer from his own taps and hearing stories from his guests, he no longer has to worry whether he’s delivering the highest, best use for his clients’ dollars. Their return patronage says he took the right road.

ELECTION, from page 1A tered as Republicans, nearly 108,000 as Democrats, and nearly 98,000 as no party or minor party. Voting is a “three-legged stool,” with options of casting a vote-by-mail ballot, early voting or day-of voting, Corley said. More and more people at each election cycle are opting for vote-by-mail or early voting, he said. But, that doesn’t mean significant increases in registered voters. Instead, he said, “It spreads the vote around.” As of Oct. 31, nearly 76,000 votes were cast by mail-in or early voting. Republicans accounted for more than 32,000 votes; Democrats, nearly 27,000, and others, more than 16,000. Early voting in Hillsborough also is underway with 16 polling stations opening on Oct. 24.Voting is from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., daily until Nov. 6 (Sunday) at 7 p.m. Nearly 845,000 people are registered voters in Hillsborough, with about 334,000 registered as Democrats, 267,000 as Republicans, and 244,000 as others. Hillsborough’s election office mailed out more than 170,000 ballots. As of Oct. 31, more than 242,000 ballots had been cast, both mail-in and early voting.About 105,000 were from Democrats; nearly 90,000 from Republicans and about 48,000 from others. “Right now, it looks like the turnout is tracking to what it was in 2012,” said Gerri Kramer, spokeswoman for the Hillsborough elections office. In addition to the presidential vote, the election will decide representation for local offices including county commission, the
WIDENING, from page 1A Hillsborough County. “It’s a danger zone, and a stop-and-go road,” she said. At one intersection, parents drop off and pick up students.At another, a student parking lot sees a lot of in-and-out traffic. “I feel bad for kids who are new drivers having to fight traffic,” Bernard said. Cheryl Puleo also worries about school traffic. She is a bus driver delivering and picking up students at Wharton High. There is a light at the student parking lot, but not at the drop-off site for parents. “It really needs a light,” she said. Some residents worry about the timing of traffic signals. Currently the wait times last so long, it can be quicker for motorists trying to turn left, to instead make a right turn, head to another traffic signal and do a U-turn. Traffic in and out of a Walmart Superstore at Regents Park Drive also leads to vehicles backing up to the signal at

Staff writers with The Laker/Lutz News will be out and about at polling sites on Nov. 8, finding out what’s on the minds of voters as they cast ballots in a momentous presidential election, and also make choices in state and local elections.

Florida legislature and property appraiser. There also are constitutional amendments on the ballot, including two controversial ones. Amendment 1 deals with solar power. Supporters say it will boost the solar industry while also protecting the pocketbooks of people who opt not to use solar. Opponents say the solar industry has crafted a deceptive amendment that appears friendly to solar but, in effect, will give existing utility companies veto power over rules governing alternative energy competitors. Amendment 2, if approved, would expand the use of an existing law permitting medical marijuana. Supporters say it will help patients with chronic and debilitating illnesses, and provide tax revenues to state and local governments. Opponents say the amendment would open the door to misuse of marijuana, recreational uses, and increase the crime rate. For voting information from the Pasco County Supervisor of Elections, visit Pasco.electionsfl.org, or call (800) 851-8754.

Downs as the “5-minute” light, though a county traffic engineer said the longest wait time at a signal would be about 3.5 minutes. Still, county officials say the road widening should improve traffic flow. In addition to more traffic lanes, the roadway will have new sidewalks, multi-use paths, improved drainage, a 28-foot landscaped median, and upgrades to traffic signals. In 2012, the road segment from Pebble Creek to County Line had about 44,000 cars daily, data showed. By 2032, estimates are for more than 82,000 daily vehicle trips. The road widening is a top transportation priority for Hillsborough County. In recent years, Bruce B. Downs from Palm Springs Boulevard to Pebble Creek was widened to eight lanes. Currently, work is underway on a segment from Bearss Avenue to Palm Springs Boulevard, with completion expected in late 2017.

Union72 Barbecue is next to the craft beer bar, The Brass Tap, at The Shops at Wiregrass.
FLAVORS, from page 1A owner of Union72.“Everything is made inhouse and from scratch.” Menu items include The Conquistador, a Spanish-spiced slow-smoked pork dish with chimichurri, caramelized onions and a fried egg, and The Far East, slow-smoked pork with kimchi, in-house Sticky Asian Barbecue sauce, cilantro, scallions and sesame seeds. For more down-home tastes, The Southern Boy is barbecue topped with house cole slaw, fried jalapenos, onion straws and in-house Sweet Barbecue sauce. And, for people tired of chain restaurants, Union72 is locally owned and operated. Martin and Bharat Chhabria are partnering on the new restaurant, located at 2000 Piazza Ave., and conveniently situated next door to the craft beer bar – The Brass Tap. Martin is one of the founders of The Brass Tap, which initially opened at Wiregrass, but has since expanded to more locations in the Tampa Bay area, including Brandon and Ybor City. Martin lives in Wesley Chapel. When the spot next to The Brass Tap opened, the partners quickly signed up. Zukosky had been a regular at the beer bar, and struck up a friendship with Martin. Foodie conversations led to the discovery of Zukosky’s passion for barbecue. He
has a wood-burning smoker at his home. “I had no idea about his barbecue skills,” Martin said. Hype Group, based in St. Petersburg, is creating the restaurant’s design, including a mural with cartoon sketches of the pigs in charge - Sergeant Stag, Colonel Short Horn and Captain Poulet. Matt Callahan, of Mad Made Murals, is the muralist. The restaurant will seat about 60 diners indoors, with some patio seating outside. Guests will order and select their beverages before picking up their orders. Union72 will serve wine and craft beers. Four beers from Florida breweries will be on tap.A selection of craft fountain sodas also will be available. Guests at The Brass Tap (which doesn’t sell food) will be able to order from Union72’s menu and have their meals delivered. There also will be online ordering and a “recruiters” club whose members can text “FREEMYBBQ” to 555888 for special menu deals and restaurant events. Information on the restaurant’s opening will be on Facebook and sent by text. “Everybody on the list will get an invite,” Martin said. Union72 will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. For information, visit Union72.com, Facebook.com/pg/union72wiregrass, or call (813) 575-9999.
Freedom, Mitchell, Wharton and Wiregrass Ranch have expressed interest in using the facility for regular practices and games. “You’re looking at four or five high schools making this their home,” said Zimmermann, who coaches hockey at Wiregrass Ranch.“We’re going to be able to give them more ice time.” Officials believe the massive facility will ultimately attract 1.5 million to 2 million visitors annually, with 40 percent coming from outside Tampa Bay.

Tennis pro wants to grow sport in Pasco By Kevin Weiss
kweiss@lakerlutznews.com
Jeanette Marcus wants tennis to flourish in east Pasco County. Marcus, a certified USPTA (United State Professional Tennis Association) instructor, operates the Dade-City based Tennis 4 U/Tennis Para Ti Inc. The 56-year-old Marcus, a bilingual instructor, offers developmental and intermediate lessons for both youth and adults at her two-acre tennis facility, 35949 Bozeman Road in Dade City. For novices, she teaches the “basics,” including proper racket grip, groundstrokes, serves, singles and doubles strategy, and court etiquette. For more avid players, she remedies shoddy technique. Her youngest client is four years old. Her oldest? 89. “The biggest thing with tennis,” she said,“is you have to have fun.” Marcus, also a former assistant pro at Lake Jovita, says east Pasco is lacking in public tennis programs and opportunities — especially for underprivileged youth. “It’s like there’s nothing here,” said Marcus, who moved to Dade City from Lutz about eight years ago.“Pasco is very limited.” One problem, Marcus said, is the lack of public tennis courts throughout east Pasco. “When you get into central Pasco and east Pasco, the parks (department) doesn’t recognize putting the money in courts,” she said.“Dade City has two courts,Wesley Chapel has four courts and Zephyrhills has five courts.” The absence of USTA (United States Tennis Association)-sanctioned programming and leagues, too, is another issue. “You’ve got to be a member at all these (country) clubs to be able to play on a league,” Marcus said.“A lot of the kids that I teach can’t join a country club. If you cannot afford to pay a membership at a country club, you don’t have an opportunity to play.” Despite living in Dade City, Marcus — along with fellow tennis buddies — often travels to Hillsborough County to find open courts.

SAINT LEO NAMES NEW TENNIS COACH Chad Berryhill, who once captured a national championship as head coach at Hillsborough Community College (HCC), was named the new head men’s and women’s tennis coach at Saint Leo University. Berryhill replaces Pablo Montana, who abruptly resigned in September after being hired in August. Berryhill spent the Chad Berryhill past four years coaching at Ferris State (Michigan) University, where he guided the program — his alma mater — to the Final Four of the 2016 NCAA Division II Men’s Tennis Championship. Prior to accepting the position at Ferris State, Berryhill was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Central Florida from 2010-2012. Berryhill began his coaching career as the head women’s tennis coach at HCC in 2005. His five-year stint at HCC was highlighted by leading the Lady Hawks to the 2008 National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) National Championship, and reaching the championships in 2006, 2007, and 2009. “Chad Berryhill brings all the qualities that we were looking for in the next mentor for Saint Leo tennis,” Saint Leo athletic director Francis X. Reidy said, in a release. “His championship experience at the Division II level demonstrated ability to recruit and develop talent at the highest level, and his knowledge of the larger Florida tennis community will give Chad a head start at ensuring Saint Leo remains at the forefront of NCAA Division II men’s and women’s tennis.”

“Lutz has well-maintained courts, they have lights, and there’s always somebody on them,” said Marcus, who also drives to Hillsborough Community College and Davis Islands for matches. She added:“I’ve been working for years trying to get a new tennis center to east Pasco.” Her wish may soon be a reality. In Zephyrhills, plans are underway to construct a 10-court tennis facility on 4.7 acres of land at the District at Abbott’s Square. The estimated $1.9 million project will likely be funded over the next two fiscal years, according to Todd Vande Berg, planning director for the city of Zephyrhills. Half the courts will have Har-Tru, a brand of clay surfaces,Vande Berg said. “A lot of facilities are going more towards the soft courts versus the hard courts,” the planning director said.“It’s so much easier on the body — the joints.” The facility, Vande Berg added, will open the door for additional tennis opportunities and events, including USTA-sanctioned tournaments. “The goal is to develop comprehensive tennis programs, and have memberships and league play,” he said. The forthcoming project has Marcus excited. “When Zephyrhills builds this, it’s going to be nice,” she said.“You’ve got to have a court where your kids can practice on.” One request of hers is roofing. “The rain is a very frustrating thing,” Marcus said.“I don’t consider tennis to be an outdoor sport anymore. Our big, big events — the U.S. Open in New York, the French Open, Wimbledon — they’ve all had to make indoor courts.” Vande Berg said partially covered courts are a possibility if partnerships are forged between local steel and aluminum companies. “It would really be a windfall, especially in Florida with the rain that we get,” he said.“There would be demand. ...There’s a cost, but there’s a real opportunity there.” Funding options for the tennis facility include recreation impact fees, Penny for Pasco, various USTA grants, and partnerships with Pasco County Parks and Recreation and Pasco County Tourism.

St. Armands Circle: A day tripper’s delight Worth the Trip By Kathy Steele
ksteele@lakerlutznews.com
A
visit to Sarasota isn’t complete without a stroll around trendy St.Armands Circle. Go round and round on a journey through St. Armands’ boutiques, restaurants and galleries, doled out to sidewalk strollers with all the casual charm and kitschy pleasures of Old Florida. But, with a fashion-forward zest for life. It’s also the right spot to soak up fun ’n the sun at Lido Beach, only a quick swirl motoring through St.Armands roundabout. Or, leave the car behind and take an easy halfmile walk from St.Armands to the beach — and back again for more shopping and dining. Day trippers, tourists and Sarasota natives all find their way to St.Armands. Austrians Max Sambs and Sabine Balleitner passed up Miami to spend their Florida vacation in Sarasota and St.Armands. “It’s more relaxing, more quiet, more charming than the big city,” said Sambs, as the couple strolled past gia ventola. The boutique sells couture dresses, a denim collection and fashionable accessories from hats and belts to one-of-a-kind jewelry. Cher, Britney Spears and Nicole Kidman are fans, according to the store’s website. But, St.Armands isn’t all upscale. Tourists who need swimwear, floats, shorts, ball caps, sundresses, sunglasses, a Florida souvenir cup, toys, games, towels, beach bags, shot glasses, a stuffed Minnie Mouse from a Disney carousel or the requisite Florida T-shirt can find that, and more, at Alvin’s Island. In between, there is everything else. The Columbia Restaurant — with its original location in Ybor City — brings its Latin menu and familiar elegance to the Circle. From casual to fine dining, there are plenty of places to please the palate, including Cha Cha Coconuts, La Creperie Caffe, Lynches Pub & Grub, Crab & Fin, the Blue Dolphin Café and Tommy Bahama’s Restaurant & Bar (and retail store). Men’s and women’s wear can be found at Binjara Traders Inc., Cotton Club, Island Pursuit, Foxy Lady West and Lily Pulitzer. Other shops and galleries include Green Ginger Hair Designs, FantaSea Coastal Home, Soap Stories, Flip Flop Shops, Charleston Shoe Co., Tervis, The Stadium Gallery, McCarver & Moser and Woof Gang Bakery. Ice cream aficionados can scoop up treats from Ben & Jerry’s or from the oldfashioned ice cream parlor at Kilvin’s Chocolate & Ice Cream. Gigi’s Cupcakes is one of the newest treat shops on the Circle, opening just months ago. One-of-a-kind gourmet cupcakes are made fresh daily by baker Caroline Kaye. The bakery is the brainchild of Gigi Baker, who moved to Nashville for country stardom but founded a cupcake empire of more than 100 stores instead. St. Armands Circle soon could be her busiest store in this natural outdoor mall. “People like to come down for a day and shop at the boutiques,” said the store’s marketing consultant, Jerry Pippins. And, to choose from such selections as Hunka Chunka Banana Love and White Midnight Magic. St. Armands Circle has come a long way since Frenchman Charles St.Amand bought 130 acres for $20 in 1893 for his private home.The name change to St. Armand can be chalked up to a clerical misspelling. The Circle of today belongs to the vision of circus ringmaster John Ringling who bought the island in the mid 1920s. “St.Armands is here because of his layout and street grid,” said Diana Corrigan, executive director of the St. Armands Circle Association.“It really is a shoppers’ paradise. It’s very unique. The majority of our businesses are individually owned. They are unique boutique stores.” The mantra of the association? “Get out of the box. Get into the Circle.”

Bridgett is a 4-year-old female that has been with the shelter since early September. She has come out of her shell as of late and, while she tends to have a stern look, she does enjoy being petted and will “converse.” Bridgett does well meeting new people and is comfortable seeing dogs nearby. Give Bridgett a chance, and let her prove that her stern looks are really just a mask for this sweet girl.

Jadore is waiting to be cuddled Jadore is a 3-year-old terrier mix. She knows sit, down, stay, come when called, shake paws and rollover. Jadore is an active girl who loves car rides and loves to play in our yard. She has a sweet, puppy look that shows she is waiting to be cuddled and taken home. Jadore has been with the shelter since December. She is a perfect medium-size pup and is ready to go to her “forever” home. Jadore enjoys lounging in a big, fluffy bed.

A regular visitor This antlered character is frequently seen strolling through our backyard. Some deer dart across the yard so as not to be spotted. Not this guy; he chews a few weeds along the way. We have a lot of wildlife around Banjo Lake, in Land O’ Lakes, that come and go, but ‘Buck’ has been around for almost a year.
