Pasco County to add metal detectors?

By Kathy Steele ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Bag searches and metal detectors are routine outside council or commission chambers in most counties including Pinellas, Polk and Hillsborough.

That is especially true on meeting days.

Pasco County is an exception.

Pasco County Chairwoman Kathryn Starkey thinks it is time to rethink the county’s policy.

She brought up the topic at the conclusion of the county commission’s meeting on Dec.1.

“I’ve had a couple incidents with people who might be considered fairly unstable,” Starkey said after the meeting.“It just really makes me concerned.”

County staff plans to report back to commissioners with data on costs and feasibility

of installing metal detectors at the West Pasco Government Center in New Port Richey and the Historic Dade City Courthouse.

Other government buildings also could be included in plans to beef up security.

Starkey aired her concerns just a day before a mass shooting in San Bernardino, California left 14 people killed and more than 20 people injured.

It was another in a list of what the Federal Bureau of Investigation now labels as “active-shooter” incidents where an individual or individuals kill or attempt to kill people gathered in a confined area.

According to FBI data, there were 160 such incidents from 2000 to 2013, and the number is on the rise.

Volunteer Sue Castellano and teacher Amarilys Barbosa pose with some old instruments in front of Pine View Middle School’s marching band uniforms. On the plus side, the school is experiencing a surge of enrollment in its music program. On the down side, it needs more instruments and will soon need additional marching band uniforms.

When Pine View Middle School puts on a concert, there’s a good chance that some of the instruments it’s using are on loan from other schools.

And, when students want to practice at home, they often have to take turns checking out the instruments.

In one way, it’s a good problem: More students are enrolling in the school’s music program.

In another, it’s not so good. Students don’t always have access to instruments, losing time they could use to improve their skills.

Amarilys Barbosa, who teaches band and chorus, and Sue Castellano, a devoted grandparent volunteer, are on a quest to drum up community support for the band.

There are different ways the community can help, they said.

One way would be for people who have

instruments they are no longer using to donate them to the school’s band program.

People who took band or music lessons years ago may have instruments they no longer use, Barbosa said.

There are professional musicians, too, who may be able to part with some of the instruments they used when they were just starting out, she said.

Instruments of all types are welcome, the band director said.“They’ll certainly go to a good home.”

While happy to accept any donated instrument, the band’s greatest needs are for tubas and French horns.

During a recent concert at The Center for the Arts at Wesley Chapel, the school had to borrow a tuba from Wesley Chapel High School, she said.“There are eight tuba players, but only seven tubas.”

There’s a shortage of French horns, too.

“My other shortage is French horns.We had to borrow three from other schools,” Barbosa said.

In some cases, the school has an instrument, but no case, so students can’t borrow those instruments.

Enrollment gains triggered the increased need for instruments.

The enrollment increases are a result of Pine View Middle’s effort to be designated as an IB Middle Years Programme.

“The very, very cool thing about this program is that now all of the so-called elective classes, they are now becoming core classes,” Barbosa said. “The idea is to expose

them to a world-class education.”

Last year, her largest band was 45 students.

“This year, I’m double that,” she said.

There are 240 students enrolled in the music department, including beginning, intermediate and advanced band, and chorus.

And, the program will continue to grow.

“Within the next couple of years, they’re going to make a transition in which every single student is going to be required to take a performing arts class,” she said.

“Currently, we only have three that we offer, either band, chorus or drama.”

Beyond meeting basic needs, Barbosa would like to give her band students a chance to learn additional instruments.

“Unfortunately, I don’t have the instruments to loan out to them,” she said.

Uniforms are going to become another issue, Barbosa said.

As the band continues to grow, it won’t have enough marching band uniforms — and it’s unlikely they’ll be able to find any that match because the current uniforms are several years old, she said.

School boundary changes gain first-round approval Winner 2012, 2013, 2014

The Pasco County School Board has given first-round approval of proposed boundaries for Elementary School W, a school under construction in Wesley Chapel.

The unanimous vote came despite objections from parents living in Northwood and in Arbor Woods, who do not want their children moved to Denham Oaks Elementary, which is in Lutz.

“I want another option given to us,” said Amy Bracewell, who lives in Northwood.

“We moved here before we had children because of the area and the school options available to us,” said Bracewell, who now has two children who will be affected by the boundary shifts.

“Our family lives in Wesley Chapel, we shop in Wesley Chapel, and we worship in Wesley Chapel,” she said. “I feel that the

changes you have proposed will have negative effects on the students that live in Northwood.”

The impacts go beyond the school day, she explained.

“Any parents that Allen Altman use day care in Wesley Chapel will have to change to another day care, because they will not transport our children to Denham Oaks,” she said. So, children who have essentially known each other since birth will no longer be able to attend the same day care, she said.

Kellie Barragan, another Northwood parent, urged board members to reconsider the proposed boundary plan. “I really implore you to find a way for Northwood to go to Sand Pine (Elementary),” she said.

Chris Keller, who lives in Belle Chase, told board members “we understand the

need for change. But, we don’t feel that the changes being proposed are in the best interests of our children.”

His chief concern is dealing with transportation issues that will arise — affecting childcare arrangements and after-school activities.

“A lot of the current places within Wesley Chapel will not serve the Lutz area and Denham Oaks,” Keller said.

He asked the board to direct district staff to take another look at the proposed boundaries.

Allen Altman, vice chairman of the school board, said he’s well aware of the area’s traffic issues because he has an office off State Road 54, near Denham Oaks Elementary.

However, he said,“Ultimately, at some point in time, we have to draw a line.”

Whenever a line is drawn, some people are going to be unhappy about where it See BOUNDARY, page 13A

Zephyrhills resident causing ‘Sugar Rush’ with cake pops

By Michael Murillo mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

When she was a student at Zephyrhills High School, Cassie Lenz had a cake-decorating project. Over the course of the project, there was a dilemma:What to do with the extra cake?

“I looked online, and I found cake pops,” Lenz said.“It was interesting to find something new.”

People found them more than interesting.They found them delicious.

The decorated balls of cake and frosting on a stick were a hit, and she would make them for friends and bring them to parties.

Now 23, and a student at the University of South Florida, Lenz made 200 cake pops in a variety of flavors for a friend’s wedding earlier this year. They were so popular the bride and groom didn’t even get to MICHAEL MURILLO/STAFF PHOTO try any of them.

Lake Park, a popular regional park in Lutz, is closed until further notice. Hillsborough County, which operates the park, has confirmed the presence of a sinkhole and has closed the park as a matter of public safety.

Orange construction fencing has been placed around a sinkhole in a road at Lake Park in Lutz. A geotechnical firm has confirmed that the sinkhole is about 6 feet across and 90 feet deep. The footprint of the sinkhole is unknown at this time, according to Hillsborough County officials.

Lake Park closed until further notice

By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Lake Park, a popular park in Lutz, has been closed until further notice because of a sinkhole.

At this time, the sinkhole is 6 feet across and approximately 90 feet deep, according to Michelle Van Dyke, a spokeswoman for Hillsborough County.

The county has closed the park, at 17302 N. Dale Mabry Highway, in an abundance of caution to protect public safety, Van Dyke said.

The county hired a geotechnical firm to conduct soil borings after floodwaters receded about four weeks ago, revealing a depression on one of the main roads in the park, according to Van Dyke.

The county notified the GFWC Lutz-Land O’ Lakes Woman’s Club about a possible sinkhole, which forced cancellation of the club’s annual arts and crafts festival at the park.

The two-day festival, held in early December, typically features around 300 vendors and attracts about 30,000 people. It’s the club’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and its cancellation will have a ripple effect on

the various local organizations it supports.

Lake Park is a 589-acre sanctuary for birds and wildlife. It features five lakes, cypress swamps, pine flatwoods, and hardwood hammocks.

It also has an archery range, a BMX bicycle track, two equestrian arenas and a radio-controlled car track.

The county closed the park after receiving an engineering report on Dec. 1 confirming the presence of a sinkhole.

The immediate area affected looks like a dip in the road, but tests indicate a sinkhole beneath the surface. The exact footprint is not known,Van Dyke said.

Additional fencing has been installed on the park road leading to the affected area, she added.

County staff will be talking with the engineering firm and the City of St. Petersburg, which owns the land, to determine what the next steps will be. The county leases the property from the City of St. Petersburg.

County staff is contacting event organizers and groups that use the park, to notify them the park is closed until further notice.

Any park usage application fees for cancelled events will be refunded.

Russian history arrives at San Antonio train depot Knowing Your History

Peter Demens won a coin toss, according to a local legend, and named St. Petersburg, Florida, after his hometown in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Demens was selected as a Great Floridian in 2000 by the Florida Department of State and the Florida League of Cities.

become a co-founder of St. Petersburg, Florida.

And, the city would become home to the southern terminus for one of the longest narrow gauge railroads in the United States at the time of its completion in 1888.

The decision to locate a railway line in St. Petersburg was made during the same time that Henry B. Plant was opening up a rail line near Port Tampa, which had a depth of 5 feet.

St. Petersburg, by comparison, had a harbor with a depth of 18 feet, enabling it to import and export more cargo.

With dozens of railroads competing in Florida, Demens saw an advantage in running a railroad north from St. Petersburg to transport the area’s abundant long-leaf yellow pine and its citrus.

Known as the Orange Belt Railway, the mainline was 152 miles long.

It was the first to cross central Pasco County diagonally -- through Trilby, San Antonio, Ehren, Drexel and Odessa.

The Orange Belt Railway also played a role in the development of other towns along its route including Tarpon Springs, Dunedin, Clearwater and Largo.

The history of a train depot building in San Antonio is rooted in political uncertainty in Russia roughly 135 years ago.

On Feb. 17, 1880, a second assassination attempt on Emperor Alexander II occurred in the imperial dining room of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Terrorists blew up the dining room, killing or maiming 67 people – but the emperor wasn’t present during the attempt on his life.

The previous year, nitroglycerine was used in a failed effort to destroy Alexander II's train. And, there was the unsuccessful mission to blow up the Kamenny Bridge in St. Petersburg as the tsar was passing over it.

These events, and the political uncertainty that followed them, prompted Piotr Alexandrovitch Dementieff, a Russian nobleman, to flee to Florida as a Russian exile.

Dementieff, who later shortened his name to Peter A. Demens, would go on to

The Orange Belt No. 203 was the primary locomotive that was used for the tourist line between San Antonio and Blanton in 1976. It was built in 1925 for the Washington & Lincolnton railroad that ran out of Lincolnton, Georgia. When it had mechanical problems, the railroad was able to lease Orange Belt No. 11.

track-laying crew stormed after him on a hand car, planning to lynch him.”

The Orange Belt faced many hardships in its early years due to debt run up during various phases of construction.

Frigid temperatures during the Great Freeze of 1894-1895 killed many citrus groves in Florida.

The freeze also ended Demens’ ownership of the Orange Belt.

Within weeks, he sold the Orange Belt Railway to railroad tycoon Henry B. Plant.

Plant converted most of the railway to standard gauge (4 feet 8 1⁄2 inches), which made it more profitable.

In 1902, the Plant system became part of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. Passengers would later ride on that railroad in luxury Pullman railcars with sleeper berths during Florida’s land boom in the 1920s.

As cars, buses and planes took more passengers, the Atlantic Coast Line discontinued its train service in 1970.

The depot in San Antonio was left abandoned and forgotten until 1976, when a group of Tampa residents organized under the name of Robert Most and Associates.

They took passengers on a round-trip railroad excursion, typically a 90-minute trip, from San Antonio to Blanton on weekends and holidays.

The last ride took place on Feb. 21, 1978.

Sections of the Orange Belt rail line are now part of the Pinellas Trail in Pinellas County, the South Lake Minneola Scenic Trail in Lake County and the West Orange Trail in Orange County.

The depot in San Antonio is a reminder of the vibrant role that railroads played during the early days of Florida’s development.

The historic depot is the last one remaining on the Orange Belt Railway, which crossed Pasco County for 80 years, connecting northern markets in the St. Johns River area with St. Petersburg.

The depot was completely restored in 1996 with a $15,600 preservation grant from the state, plus a $25,000 contribution from Pasco County and countless hours of volunteer help.

With a history that had its roots in politics, the San Antonio depot also has a connection to political life today.

Besides serving as a railroad museum and community building, it’s a voting precinct, too.

It’s not something that you would think would happen very often, but surprisingly enough, it happens more than you would think.

People show up at Pasco County Animal Services Department ready to adopt a pet, but forget to bring a leash or carrier to take home their new dog or cat.

And, when they forget the pet supplies, it can be problematic, said Animal Services Manager Mike Shumate.

Getting a pit bull from the shelter into a parked car, for instance, can go awry, if the dog decides to bolt, he said.

“We want convenience for our customers when they walk out the door,” Shumate said.

Pasco County commissioners voted on Dec. 1 to allow the agency to sell pet adoption supplies and promotional items to support the agency’s services, and its animal shelter at 19640 Dogpatch Lane in Land O’ Lakes.

Items for sale will include collars, harnesses, leashes, carriers, crates and training items.The supplies are expected to arrive at the shelter by January.

People adopted 699 cats and 1,499 dogs from the agency in fiscal year 2015.

To help encourage more adoptions, the agency is offering special deals through December. The fee for a dog older than eight months is $20; for a cat of any age, it’s $10.

All adoption fees include spay/neuter, microchip and vaccines.

In addition to adding adoption supplies, the board also gave the agency permission to sell promotional products with embossed logos including T-shirts, cups, mugs, magnets and bumper stickers.

Those products are already available, Shumate said.The T-shirt in particular is popular, he said.

“We’re not looking at making any profit,” Shumate said. “We’re not in competition with local pet stores or veterinarians.”

The sales prices will be scaled to cover purchasing and handling costs to the county.

The pet adoption supplies are focused solely on providing the transition from shelter to new home.

The promotional items will help market the agency and its logo, Shumate said.

“It’s something people are going to recognize and know more about,” he said.

To adopt from Pasco County Animal Services, visit the shelter at 19640 Dogpatch Lane in Land O’ Lakes. Or, for information, email adoptionpartners@pascocountyfl.net.

The Pasco County School Board has terminated its contract with AMIkids Pasco, effective Jan. 29, for services the organization is providing to 46 students, who come from across Pasco County.

While voting to end the contract, the board made it clear that it will consider reinstating it, if AMIkids Pasco can demonstrate substantial improvement in its performance

by Jan. 12.

The board’s action came at the recommendation of school district Superintendent Kurt Browning, who informed the board there are “some pretty significant issues” that need to be addressed.

“The Jan. 12 date is really kind of the deadline for AMIkids (Pasco) to demonstrate to us that they can turn the ship around and they can provide the quality of service to those students,” Browning said.

The program serves 25 therapeutic emotional/behavior disability students and 21 students in the Department of Juvenile Justice program.

The facility opened this year in a campus of portables on U.S. 41, north of State Road 52 at 18950 Michigan Lane in Spring Hill.

If the organization can demonstrate considerable progress, Browning said he will recommend that the board revoke the termination, allowing AMIkids Pasco to carry on.

If the district isn’t satisfied, nothing else would need to be done, and the district would assume responsibility for the site on Jan. 29, Browning said.

The district leader said discontinuing the district’s relationship with AMIkids Pasco is not the preferable option for him or for Pasco County Schools.

AMIkids Pasco has been given a chance to correct deficiencies, or its contract with Pasco County Schools will end on Jan. 29. The school board voted to terminate the contract, but also indicated that it will revoke that action, if AMIkids Pasco shows substantial improvement by Jan. 12.

But, Browning added:“The bottom line is how the children that we’re responsible for educating are being served.That’s first and foremost my priority.”

While hoping the issues can be resolved, Browning said,“there’s a great deal of work to be done.”

He outlined his concerns in a Nov. 30 letter to AMIkids Pasco.

O.B. Standee, president of AMIkids, urged the board to reject Browning’s recommendation, instead giving the organization time to correct deficiencies.

Standee said AMIkids Pasco was given the opportunity because of its track record.

“We help kids that have struggled in school and in the community, and we help them find and develop their potential,” said Standee, whose organization has worked with Pasco County Schools since 1993.

“Because of our historic success, the school district talked to us about expanding our services to not only the alternative school kids, but kids with disabilities, requiring specialized behavioral and emotional services,” he added.

He acknowledged startup issues.

He said he was willing to forego a 60-day cancellation notice — and would put that in writing — if the board would give him an opportunity to correct the issues.

He voiced concerns about retaining staff, if the board approved Browning’s recommendation.

“We don’t want to just meet the needs of the district.We have a vision of making that a model program,” he added.

Board member Cynthia Armstrong said she knows that AMIkids Pasco has done some good work.

But, she added:“I was very disappointed when I was reading the issues that came up.”

Board member Steve Luikart said he has been impressed by AMIkids Pasco in the past.

“I’m a supporter, but I will tell you that it’s disappointing. I wish you the best of luck in turning that around.”

Board member Alison Crumbley said the current issues are troubling.

“I was dismayed, extremely upset.

They’re serious insufficiencies,” Crumbley said.

She also said that Browning’s recommendation offers AMIkids Pasco a chance to work out the problems.“It does give you a second chance,” she said.

Board Chairwoman Joanne Hurley put it like this: “There’s a lot in that that you have to tackle in order to get the board to change any recommendation. But, I think you can do it, based upon your past history with the district. I think it’s within your power to fix both the educational and the financial issues, and get back on track.

“I feel it’s necessary as a board to take the action that we’re taking in the best interest of students, with the idea that it can always be undone if you demonstrate success,” Hurley said.

Armstrong rejected Standee’s idea of allowing to end the contract without notice.

“There’s no way we’re going to come in and lock the doors and say,‘O.K., you’re out, we’re in.’That would not be in the best interest of the students to have that type of transition,”Armstrong said.

Pasco County fills leadership jobs

PASCO, from page 1 pen here that happened in California,” said Starkey, in a phone interview on Dec. 3.

There was little enthusiasm for pursuing metal detectors during the commission’s Dec. 1 meeting.

Cost, in part, was an issue.

“It’s the taxpayers’ building,” said Pasco County Commissioner Mike Wells.

“I think it’s okay to look at what other

counties do,” Wells said. “Safety is No. 1. I agree with you there.”

County Administrator Michele Baker said the design of the government center in New Port Richey included room to allow metal detectors. But constitutional officers and commissioners, at the time, didn’t want to pursue that.

Ted Schrader, another commissioner, said he’s not sure the idea will find support now.

“I suspect you’re going to get some push-

Some instruments at Pine View Middle are beyond repair. They’re stored in a room that students have dubbed the ‘instrument graveyard’ and are used for parts.

WANTED, from page 1 As it is now, Castellano spends countless hours helping to keep the band looking sharp. She takes hems out and puts them in.

She sews on new buttons, and so forth.

Besides asking for instruments, planning efforts are underway for “Night Under the Stars,” a fundraising event that will take place on March 12 at the Land O’ Lakes Community Center.

The event will feature musical performances by Pine View students, but also will include outside silent auctions.

Gift baskets — containing items that have been donated by family, friends and businesses — will be auctioned to help raise money to meet the band’s needs.

And, tickets will be sold to the event, although the admission price has not yet been set.

While the shortage of instruments is challenging, both Castellano and Barbosa are excited about getting more students involved with music.

“You may have a lot of children that don’t have anything that they can call their own,” said Castellano, whose 13-year-old grandson, Micahel McBride, plays alto saxophone.

What: Traditions on The Green, a family event featuring pancakes with Santa, children’s activities and concerts on the green, including a performance by Pine View Middle School’s band.

back from that,” Schrader said.“How do you pick and choose which buildings?”

He noted that security cameras are in use.

“A camera doesn’t stop someone coming in with a gun,” Starkey said. “I can tell you, there are employees here who are not comfortable.”

With its multiple entry points and limited lobby area, the Historic Dade City Courthouse, could pose some logistical challenges.

Tampa City Hall is a historic building similar to Dade City’s courthouse. Instead of using metal detectors there, Tampa police officers search bags and use security wands to screen people.

Outside Hillsborough County Commission chambers, sheriff’s deputies operate a metal detector.

“In this day and age it’s a sad thing, but we want to know if people are bringing guns,” Starkey said.

sonable option” which he said would allow the children living in Arbor Woods to attend Sand Pine Elementary.

During a recent community meeting at Denham Oaks Elementary, Chris Williams, the director of planning for Pasco County Schools, told those gathered that the boundary committee recommended that the Northwood subdivision, including Arbor Woods, be sent to Denham Oaks Elementary.

Iglio expressed frustration at the district’s process.

“I believed in my heart that these were open for public debate.All I’ve seen so far is a defense of the first option,” Iglio said.

Although she gave first-round approval of the proposed boundaries, Hurley said has not made her final decision yet.

“I’m always open to hearing from the public until right before the second hearing,” Hurley said.

The board will have its second and final hearing on Dec. 15 at 6 p.m. The meeting will be in the school district complex, Building No. 3 North, at 7205 Land O’ Lakes Blvd., in Land O’ Lakes.

was drawn,Altman said.

While the board can’t avoid geographic disruptions caused by new boundaries, it can address concerns about educational services, said Altman, noting he’s heard concerns from parents who are worried about losing services for academically gifted students.

Altman said he would support the proposed boundaries with the stipulation that the district comes back with a plan for how it will address that issue.

Board member Cynthia Armstrong and Board Chairwoman Joanne Hurley agreed with Altman.

After the vote, Vincent Iglio, who lives in Arbor Woods, urged the board to consider the consequences of the proposed boundaries.

“We’re not drawing lines based on actuarial tables. We’re drawing lines based on students, communities and families,” Iglio said.

He urged the board to consider “a rea-

“Their parents can’t afford to put them in sports. But, they can come into the music department at the school, and they can learn an instrument,” Castellano added, noting band members can feel a sense of accomplishment that comes from being able to play an instrument.

Barbosa is passionate about the value of music.

“I think music is a vital, vital part of our culture and our community,” Barbosa said.

“There’s a reason why it’s lasted through the ages. There’s a reason why it continues to grow and expand.

“Music is that universal language,” Barbosa said.

Pasco County School Board members will cast a final vote on proposed school boundaries for Elementary W, a school now being built off Mansfield Boulevard in Wesley Chapel. Some parents oppose the new school’s proposed boundaries because their children would be shifted to Denham Oaks in Lutz.

Pasco County debuts all-star football game Dec. 10

By Michael Murillo mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

Sunlake head football coach Bill Browning has one more game on the sidelines this year.

It’s not a playoff game.

It doesn’t count in the standings.

He’s not even coaching his Seahawks this time.

Still, it’s an important game.

“It’s something that a lot of the coaches have wanted here for years. I’ve been pushing for it for a long time,” Browning said.“It will be the very first one. It’s kind of a big deal.”

The big deal is the Pasco County EastWest Classic, the county’s first all-star football game. The best of the best will go head-to-head in a contest on Dec. 10 at 7 p.m., at Sunlake High School, 3023 Sunlake Blvd., in Land O’ Lakes.

The game, organized by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, will have players squaring off from opposite sides of the county.

Players on the East team will represent Land O’ Lakes, Wiregrass Ranch, Wesley Chapel, Zephyrhills, Pasco, Bishop McLaughlin and Zephyrhills Christian Academy.

Players on the West team will represent from River Ridge, Ridgewood, Mitchell, Anclote, Hudson, Fivay, Gulf and Sunlake.

Sunlake was placed on the West team for competitive balance purposes, Browning said.

Each team features top athletes who were selected by the coaching staff.

Browning is coaching the West team, with the other school’s coaches serving as

his assistants. On the East side, the head coach will be Wiregrass Ranch’s Mark Kantor. Each roster of players is made up entirely of seniors.

The teams will only have a few practices together before the contest, so the game plans probably won’t be too complex.

The game is valuable to the players because if offers one more chance to impress teams at the next level, Browning said.

“It gives an opportunity for college coaches to see them in an all-star game against other very good players,” Browning said.“It’s just really a chance for the seniors to go out, have some fun and showcase their talent.”

For the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, there are additional benefits as well. The group has put in about $20,000 to make the game a reality, and wants area seniors to have another chance to show off their skills.

teammates and coaches they wouldn’t have met previously, which allows them to foster new relationships and contacts throughout the county.

“They play on their individual teams all year. Now here’s a chance to play with the best from other schools. So there will be bonding, there will be friendships made for life, hopefully,” said Bob Durham, area director for the Fellowship of Christian athletes.

The game also allows coaches to work more closely together and to strengthen their bonds as well.

Coaches are instrumental to the FCA, and having them work together is a positive experience for everyone involved, Durham said.

The plan is to make the game an annual event, with head coaching duties and game location possibly rotating from year to year.

Feedback has been positive from everyone involved, Durham said, which isn’t surprising, considering the popularity of football in Pasco County.

“Schools and people and fans love football here, and so this has just been a missing piece of the county in terms of football,” he said.“It fills a void.The community has been looking for this for years, and now it’s finally here.”

Master yoga at Land O’ Lakes High School

By Kathy Steele ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Christie McClure paces before her students who stretch into warrior poses atop balance boards that, at times, bobble beneath unsteady legs.

The temperature in the yoga classroom is a perfectly regulated 90 degrees. Humidity is 65 percent.

Students expect to sweat and, to sweat a lot.

“The key to being on the board is you always want to have big breaths,” McClure tells her students, who are members of the Land O’ Lakes High School Yoga Club. “You’re going to have to have full trust in me.”

At age 15, McClure is a master yoga teacher, certified nearly three years ago through Live, Love,Teach, a nationally recognized yoga alliance program. It’s an unusual accomplishment for one so young.

She also is founder of the yoga club, a feat she accomplished in her first year at Land O’ Lakes High School.

“It’s really rare for a freshman to do that,” said classmate and yoga club member, 16year-old Vanessa Toro.

Toro is among more than 60 students in the club. There are no dues. But, once a month, on a Friday, a dozen or so students get their yoga togs on and settle onto the balance boards in the hottest room in Land O’ Lakes.

Christie McClure wanted to start a yoga club at Pine View Middle School. But, she had to wait until freshman year at Land O’ Lakes High School.

“I wanted to have a club where students could find an outlet and get interested in an activity,” she said.

The club also focuses on helping other students who need help buying books and other supplies.
