The national economy is recovering from one of the worst downturns in the nation’s history, but it is a recovery that is just “muddling along,” according to Sean Snaith, director of the Institute of Economic Competitiveness at the University of Central Florida. “It was the worst recession since the Great Depression,” he said.“The recovery is also historical. It’s historically weak.” The good news for Florida and for Pasco County is that they are seeing better growth than the nation as a whole. On the plus side for Pasco, people are moving into the county. “More people brings more economic activity,” said Snaith, who was a guest speaker at the Annual Economic Forecast Luncheon hosted by the Pasco Economic Development Council on Feb. 5 at the

Florida Hospital Zephyrhills officially welcomed community leaders and residents to the ribbon-cutting of its CREATION Health Wellness Center on Feb. 4. Dozens took the opportunity to tour the 13,000-square-foot facility, which is housed near the hospital’s campus on the northeast corner of Daughtery Road and Dairy Road. The nearly $500,000 project is approximately three times the size of the former wellness center, which was located on the first floor of the hospital. The old facility, which shared room space with the hospital’s cardiac rehab department, was a “tight fit,” according to Susan Frimmel, the hospital’s marketing di-

rector. The new facility was a “long time coming,” said Casio Jones, wellness center director. “When I walked into the (old facility) almost five years ago, I said,‘This is not going to work.’ It was there since 1995, and when I got there in (2011), they were still using equipment that was purchased in 1995,” Jones explained. The center’s 24-hour fitness floor consists of brand-new cardio machines, circuit machines and free weights. Jones noted the wellness center is for a people of all ages and fitness levels. To properly accommodate the wellness center’s all-encompassing membership, Jones said all fitness specialists are degreed in exercise science and have “high-end certifications.” “We have such a variety of special populations, from active people to those with health conditions…so we need to make sure our staff is able to provide a safe-training environment so when somebody comes, they’re not just on they’re own and don’t know what to do,” Jones explained. Over 30 group exercise classes are offered throughout the week, ranging from spin classes to Zumba to Pilates. Jones said the fitness classes are important, because they provide an environment where members can both “socialize and work out.” In addition to the 24-hour fitness floor,

the center features a full-service spa — offering skin care treatments, massages, body therapy, waxing and pampering. “Gyms in this area don’t have spas,” said Jones, who’s worked in the health and fitness industry for more than 30 years.“When you think of CREATION, it’s the whole body. You can’t just have a gym without the relaxation part; you have to help the person rejuvenate to recharge.” There’s also an education room, which Jones referred to as the “hidden gem.” Free healthy cooking classes will be taught throughout the week, as well as informational sessions on other aspects of health, such as diabetes care. “Now you’re truly impacting not just that person, but their household,” Jones explained about the education room. “You have people that are potentially overweight…can learn the appropriate ways on how to live and manage their life. “Without the right information, you can’t See WELLNESS, page 11A

Tampa Bay Golf & Country Club. “People and employment growth will continue.We see some momentum.There’s a lot of construction activity on the way.” Florida’s growth is outpacing the nation, he said. Florida’s growth rate is about 4 percent, compared to a national rate of 2 percent. The state also posted good numbers for job creation in the last quarter of 2015, and that likely will continue. “That’s our launching pad,” Snaith said. “We still have momentum on our side.” He is especially bullish on the Interstate 4 corridor, which he described as the “bread basket for growth.” According to Snaith, the recession ended in 2012.

William J. Lennox Jr., has been wellversed on the strengths of Saint Leo University for years. Before assuming his current role on July 1, the retired U.S.Army three-star lieutenant general served on the school’s board of directors for nearly seven years. But now, as Saint Leo’s president, Lennox is seeing the university from a new vantage point. “When you’re on the board, you have the 60,000-foot view.And, I’m working my way down to the 6-foot view,” said Lennox, who was superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point for five years. Now, Lennox, who prefers to be called Bill, said he sees firsthand both the strengths of Saint Leo’s people and of its mission.The focus on teaching, the small class size and the university’s clear set of values are key attributes, he added. “You put that all together, you get quite a package,” Lennox said. Given his background, the former military leader said: “People have asked me about the difference between West Point and Saint Leo. “The similarities are more striking (than the differences). The strong mission statement. The focus on teaching and small classes. The value system. The people,” Lennox said.

Saint Leo University President William J. “Bill” Lennox Jr., former superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, said people have asked him how Saint Leo and West Point differ. He responds: ‘The similarities are more striking. The strong mission statement. The focus on teaching and small classes. The value system. The people.’
Unlike West Point, however, Saint Leo’s story is not nearly as widely known. “I think we’re the best-kept secret around here,” Lennox said.
He’s working to change that. “We’re going to add a V.P., (vice president) for marketing.That is going to help us both with the targeted marketing, but also with the branding. I think a lot of people think we’re this sleepy little organization,” he said. “Not many people understand that we’re the third-largest Catholic university,” he added. With an enrollment of 16,000, the university has about 2,400 students at its campus in Saint Leo, and the rest take classes either online or in person at locations across seven states, in such cities as Atlanta and Savannah, and in the Tidewater area of Virginia, he said. Saint Leo’s brand is very strong in the military, he noted.“People recognize Saint Leo and want to attend. And, I think that transfers out to the civilian populations in those areas, too.” But, military cutbacks and security issues pose a challenge. “Some of the posts are becoming very concerned about security. If you don’t have a military ID card, you might not be able to get on. So that cuts some of the civilians out and the young veterans, who may have only served three or four or five years, because they don’t get an ID card,” he said. To address that issue,“we want to look at maybe a model like we have in Tampa, where we have a presence on MacDill (Air See SAINT LEO, page 11A

It ended with a raffle of gifts donated by residents. The Thursday morning coffee hour hosts were Keith and Ellie Brookins, Keith and Carolyn Babbitt, and Betty Jo Kiger.The invocation was given by Tom Clevenger. Dick Burgess led the “Pledge of Allegiance” and moderated the conversation. In sick bay recovering are Deann Harrington, Deannie Bennett, Rusty Siler’s daughter Rebecca, and Brent Slipp.

A pulled-pork feast for all By Helene Rubenstein Grand Horizons
On Jan. 30, the community center at Grand Horizons was filled to capacity with approximately 160 residents enjoying a pulled-pork dinner that consisted of a delicious sandwich with baked beans, Cole slaw and a cupcake. The pork was donated by the Bahrs.The cooks that prepared the pork were Newt’s nephew, Kevin Bahr, and Newt’s son-in-law, Marty.They did a terrific job, and everything was done to perfection. Kevin runs the air conditioning and gas, while Marty runs the aluminum. Kevin is quoted as saying,“We have a lot of business from the residents of Grand Horizons, and it is time for us to do something special for them.” Brian Heidman hosted this event and set up the chairs, and for a crowd this size, it was some job. The head chefs were Andy and Margaret Castonguay, while they also had plenty of help. Their helpers were Pauline and Jack Gadbois, Fred and Pat Mengel, and Ron and Joyce Bell. John Benfield said grace before dinner, and then we all had a delicious meal. Twenty-six women gathered at Piccola’s Italia Restaurant on Feb. 2 This outing was

Ideas clash for solving traffic woes By Kathy Steele
ksteele@lakerlutznews.com
A proposal for a flyover at State Road 54 and U.S. 41 got a big thumb’s down at a recent transportation task force meeting aimed at finding solutions for reducing congestion on one of Pasco County’s busiest east/west corridors. In fact, the idea of a flyover anywhere along State Road 54 and State Road 56 between U.S. 19 and Bruce B. Downs Boulevard met stiff resistance. About 50 people, including members of two separate task forces, residents and Pasco County officials, met Feb. 2 at Rasmussen College to discuss options. Task force members pressed county officials to consider using frontage roads to ease congested intersections and to preserve access to local businesses and shops. The task force also approved a motion to ask county planners to determine the feasibility of the frontage road option. “Our solution is at grade, which is what the public wants,” said Tom Ryan, a task force member and economic development manager at the Pasco Economic Development Council.“It (flyover) infringes on their quality of life. There is no way around it. It will affect quality of life.” Ryan was joined by task force member Robb Sercu who also tossed out ideas for atgrade alternatives rather than flyovers. The meeting was the first joint session of East and West task forces, which began meeting separately in September. Each was appointed as an advisory board to the Pasco County Metropolitan Planning Organization.Their task is to recommend up to five alternatives that the MPO can consider for future transportation projects over the next 20 years. One option is not to build anything. The West Task Force is studying State Road 54 from west of U.S. 41, and the East Task Force, from east of U.S. 41. However, discussion at the joint meeting quickly focused on the intersection of State Road 54 and U.S. 41 as a priority that likely will be the first road project to need funding. “That is the most congested location at this time,” said Ali Atefi, a transportation engineer with MPO.

The Florida Department of Transportation held a public hearing in January to get input on two alternatives for elevated lanes over U.S. 41. Many who attended said they came away believing they would pay tolls. “That’s what got a lot of people upset in our area,” said task force member Fred Knauer. “If I go to Lowe’s, I have to pay a toll?” Atefi said tolls could be a source to pay for the roads, but that hasn’t been decided yet. County officials also noted that even with elevated lanes, there would be at-grade through lanes at the intersection. Some of those attending the meeting want tolls to be an option, to help reduce congestion. “Toll roads do have a place,” said task force member Marilyn DeChant.“They take
drivers off grade and put them up (on express lanes). They do have a place to be considered.” But, task force member Susie Hoeller said toll roads could hurt elderly residents on fixed incomes and local businesses that do deliveries. “People in government, they don’t look at the real impact on people’s lives,” she said.“I think it’s a bad idea.” Whatever option that gains approval should be one that is feasible and reasonable, said Ryan. And, any option that involves construction will cause disruptions including the purchase of right-of-way, he said. “We shouldn’t hide away from discussing eminent domain. These are going to come up,” he said.“There’s a business or two that might have to move.” Keystone Community Church, at 21010 State Road 54, also could be in the path of future road construction. “We’re in a growth mode now,” said Wayne Hawes, chairman of the church’s board of directors.“Are we going to waste our money if we expand our facilities?” Even if funds were available now, Atefi said construction could be between seven and eight years away. Funding more likely won’t be available until after 2020. Some people at the meeting expressed
frustrations and skepticism about the planning process. Dave Miller said the county’s long-range land use plan is too focused on increasing density. “This is social engineering,” said Miller who lives in west Pasco, off Little Road and State Road 54. “They are trying to force people into high rises on transit lanes. You need to throw this back at them (Pasco County and the state).This is not workable,” Miller said. Others seemed skeptical that their efforts on the task force would be taken seriously. “Ultimately it’s going to be what they want it to be,” said task force member Christie Zimmer.“I’m praying it’s not that, and we won’t get something stuffed down our throats.” Her remarks drew some applause. Task force members will complete surveys in the next weeks to identify up to five construction alternatives, plus a no-build option. The West Task Force will vote on alternatives at its final meeting on March 28. The East Task Force will do the same at its meeting on March 31. Both of those meetings will be from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., at Rasmussen College. The planning organization will do additional study on the top selections.

Global economies are slowing, notably in China. Brazil could be headed into its worst recession in 100 years. Greece has 25 percent unemployment overall, with youth unemployment at 50 percent. One in eight Canadians come to Florida each year, but Snaith said the Canadian dollar has fallen in value against U.S. currency. “That’s going to change behavior and how they spend when they are here,” Snaith said There also is the potential for a national recession, though not on the scale of the last one. “Don’t go into your panic room,” Snaith said.“Generally speaking, you’re in a region that’s growing faster than the state and generally faster than the nation.This is a pretty good place to be.”
and staying active is really key to future wellness, but we also believe in nutrition and what you put in your body has a significant influence on your health,” Surber explained.“Our goal is to keep people active, teach them how to eat right, and also pamper them every now and again, too.” Surber feels the new wellness center will be “transformational” to the Zephyrhills community. “A lot of people really wanted this and are eager for this,” Surber said.“We believe we can teach them the right way to live in a way that can help them extend…their quality of life.” Tim Linville, president of the Zephyrhills Chamber of Commerce, was impressed by the wellness center’s “holistic” nature. “It’s nice there’s other options for people in Zephyrhills as the city grows,” the chamber president said.“It’s gorgeous.”

These members of the military walk across the campus of Saint Leo University in St. Leo. The university is widely known in military circles, but doesn’t enjoy the same familiarity in other circles, according to William J. “Bill” Lennox Jr., the university’s current president. ‘I think we’re the best-kept secret around here,’ he said. He wants to change that.
SAINT LEO, from page 1A Force Base) and we have (a location in) Channelside,” he said. The Channelside location has helped raise the university’s profile, he said. Channelside is also situated in an area that Lennox expects to develop over the long-term. “So, we’re well-positioned,” he said. Besides raising awareness about the university’s existing footprint, Lennox wants to increase its responsiveness to student needs. To that end, the university wants to offer students an opportunity to take classes faceto-face, take classes online, or do both, Lennox said. “We want them to be able to go back and forth, very freely. “We want to appeal to the student, and let the student be able to choose,” he said.
He also wants the university to foster stronger ties with corporations, enabling it to work out agreements to teach classes in corporate boardrooms or training rooms. “Starbucks just signed with Arizona State University,” he said, and he doesn’t see why Saint Leo can’t work out similar arrangements. “Why can’t we offer that as an advantage of coming to Tampa?” Lennox said. He believes the university is quite capable of delivering such services. “We’re pretty agile,” Lennox said. “I’m tired of people asking me where Saint Leo is. I tell folks the answer is:We are where you want us to be,” he said. He’s bullish on the university’s prospects, because he’s confident in what it has to offer. “My take is that if you’ve got a great product and people want it out there, why not expand it? That’s what I’d like to do,” Lennox said.
Students walk outside Kirk Hall, a building named after Arthur Kirk, who was president of Saint Leo University from 1997 until William J. “Bill” Lennox Jr., assumed the post on July 1.

Player returns to soccer, after 17 broken bones By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com
Jim Harte did not expect Spencer Peek to be playing soccer this year. That’s because the head soccer coach for Carrollwood Day School didn’t see how Peek could recover from the 17 broken bones the teenager sustained in a single-car accident on Aug. 17, 2014. Peek, 16 at the time, broke both arms and legs. He also broke his sternum and pelvis. The accident, occurred near Cheval Boulevard, at Wimbledon Court, in Lutz, when Peek’s car hydroplaned because of rainy conditions. The car hit a speed limit sign and an oak tree before sliding about 70 feet sideways on the road. “To watch him come back was hard to imagine,” said Harte, who has coached at Carrollwood for four seasons. “I honestly thought he wouldn’t play again.” The Patriots’ soccer season is over. The team fell 3-0 to St. Petersburg Catholic on Jan. 29 in the Class A region quarterfinals. But, that doesn’t overshadow Peek’s impressive battle to get back onto the field, including four surgeries and extensive rehabilitation. “When he first came out of the wheelchair, and I watched him move — and I’m an optimist — I was looking at him moving, thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, I don’t know how he’s going to do it,’” the coach said.“To expect that he could be our starting center midfielder is amazing. He has come so far.” The accident left Peek wheelchair-bound for about a quarter of his junior year. Unable to play soccer during the 2014-

Carrollwood Day School’s Spencer Peek launches a kick during a soccer game from this past season. The senior center midfielder broke 17 bones in a car accident in 2014, and recovered in time to play in the 2015-2016 season.
2015 season, Peek helped Harte on the sidelines, serving as a sounding board, of sorts. Harte often turned to Peek for advice on in-game strategy and the use of personnel. “I would consult him during the games,” Harte said. “He was very engaged on that level. He was like an assistant coach.” Peek said the opportunity to view the
game from afar turned out to be a “pretty unbelievable experience.” “Coach Harte is such an amazing coach, and for him to show me the respect that he did — being a junior in high school — and he still listened to me,” Peek said.“I did learn a lot from a different perspective, because I’ve always been a player on the soccer team. For him to have the conversations with me, to include me the way he did was…eye-opening.” Peek’s work on the sidelines helped him gain a deeper understanding of the game, helping to offset his initial loss in foot speed, athleticism and conditioning. “He got by on his will and his brains. He’s a very smart player, and he reads the game very well, which means he doesn’t have to run as much as someone who doesn’t read the game as well as he does,” Harte said about his team captain.“He anticipates and knows where to find a play, and think two or three passes ahead. He studies the opponent, and within the first 10 minutes of each game, he’s kind of got the opponent figured out. “Getting up and down the field was very challenging, but he mitigated that by his ability to read the game,” Harte said. Peek, also a former standout football player at Carrollwood, said one of the biggest challenges of performing on the soccer field was getting back into his “physical being.” Before the car accident, Peek was a wellbuilt 6-foot, 190-pound teenager. By the time he started walking again, Peek had withered to 140-pounds. “I had lost so much weight, I was almost a skeleton. I felt so much skinnier and so
Land O’Lakes coach notches 400th win By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com
Land O’ Lakes boys basketball coach Dave Puhlaski got his 400th career win when the Gators defeated Sunlake High 76-40 on Feb. 3. Many expected the longtime coach to reach the milestone on Jan. 29, when his team held a sizeable 20-point halftime lead over River Ridge, but the Gators collapsed and ultimately lost in overtime, 57-55. “I thought we might get it then and could focus on the district (tournament) totally, but it didn’t work out,” said Puhlaski, who’s in his 27th season as head coach at Land O’ Lakes. While a 400th win is an impressive coaching milestone, Puhlaski deflected credit for his accomplishment —instead praising his players, assistant coaches and his wife, Erika. “It’s just been the combination of a lot of good players over a lot of years and a lot of good assistant coaches,” he said.“And, my wife — she’s been at every win and every loss — she’s been an integral part of it. “It just means I’ve been around for a long time,” he added. While Land O’ Lakes (14-9) enjoyed a 36point victory over Sunlake (0-17), the Gators trailed 15-12 at the end of the first quarter in

the Class 6A, District 8 semifinal. “We were trying to do too much in the first quarter,” said senior guard Taddeus Dixon.“The team just came together and said,‘We have to (work) together and not individually.’” Puhlaski said both defensive breakdowns and turnovers were to blame for the early deficit against an overmatched Sunlake squad. “They hit a few shots on us, and usually we try to live off our defense, but we weren’t col-

much weaker,” said Peek, who has since returned to 190 pounds.“It was just physically about gaining back my size, my legs, getting my mass back. I feel much more solid than I did five months ago.” Peek said the rehab and recovery process was a battle, and noted that being stuck in a hospital bed after the accident was tough. “When you’re in that situation, at least for me, I couldn’t dwell on it,” he said. Instead, Peek focused on the future. “It was about mentally keeping myself on the track, and not straying off and feeling sorry for myself,” he said. “I was unbelievably blessed to have my family and friends really rally around me. That was my source of strength,” he added. Rendered completely immobile for three weeks after the accident forced him to “see the world through the eyes of somebody who’s permanently handicapped,” he said. That broadened his understanding, he said. “To even get a glimpse of what (handicapped) life is like just really shows you how strong the people are that face that situation permanently,” he said. Despite the trials and tribulations, Peek said he wouldn’t change what he has gone through. “The way I saw life before compared to now — you think more about things after experiencing something like that,” he said. “I just feel like I’m more conscious of what I’m doing,” Peek said. “Your entire outlook changes and you understand how quickly everything can be taken away,” he said. “I’m so much more grateful for everything now.” said Puhlaksi’s 400th career win “definitely shows his dedication and his commitment to the school. “That is one heck of a milestone, that’s for sure,” Coss said. Puhlaski’s success over the years also can be attributed to his passion and his ability to motivate, said Tedd Poore, who’s had three sons — Max, Jake and Nick — coached by Puhlaski. “Everybody ‘s real excited for Dave. He’s been an institution in this community for over 20 years,” Poore said.“A lot of kids have come through his program, and he’s been instrumental in advising and guiding boys when they needed it the most. “He really cares.” Puhlaski didn’t say how much longer he plans to coach at Land O’ Lakes, but there’s some indication he may stick around at least until his son David Jr., who’s a sophomore, graduates from the school. Coaches in Pasco County serve on annual contracts, but Coss said she doesn’t foresee any changes occurring with Puhlaski’s role with the program “as long as he’s teaching (physical education) here and wanting to coach here.” Prior to being named the Land O’ Lakes head coach in 1989, Puhlaski served as an assistant at Ocala Vanguard for three seasons. That was followed by a one-year stint as an assistant at the University of Tampa.

Telling Wesley Chapel’s story By B.C. Manion
bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

riting about local history is nothing new for Madonna Jervis Wise. The Zephyrhills woman traced the history of Zephyrhills, and also of Dade City, for books published by Arcadia Publishing, of Charleston, South Carolina. Now, she has written another book for the publisher’s Images of America series. This one focuses on Wesley Chapel. When the publisher asked her to do the Wesley Chapel book,Wise knew it would be challenging. Unlike Zephyrhills and Dade City – which both have city governments, historic buildings and established town centers, Wesley Chapel offered no clear place for Wise to begin her research. So,Wise relied on her background in genealogy to help her track down descendants of families with deep roots in Wesley Chapel. She began her quest by tracking down Marco Edward Stanley, of Gainesville, who arranged for Wise to interview his mother, 95-year-old Lillie Sapp Stanley. The historian met with members of the Stanley family, and that interview led to others. When she interviewed David Brown, Michael Boyette, Bill Smith or members of the Stanley family, she discovered the families shared deep bonds. “There was this cohesiveness among the settlers,”Wise said.“They would talk about each other in this real, deep caring way.” Putting together Wesley Chapel’s history book meant interviewing scores of pioneer descendants, culling through land records, visiting properties and even putting together a map to get a sense for what it used to be like. Through U.S. Census records and interviews with primary sources,Wise learned the names of the families of many early settlers, including Asbel, Barnes, Boyette, Bradley, Cooper, Ellerbee, Geiger, Gillette, Godwin, Hill, Kersey, O’Berry, Overstreet, Ryals, Smith, Stanley, Strickland,Thomas and Tucker. Some of those names, she discovered, had various spellings, such as Stanley and Standley. She also discovered that the community
A car parked at the end of a cypress log in the 1930s illustrates the enormity of the trees that were felled in the Wesley Chapel area. Large timber companies or trusts acquired vast tracts of land that were depleted of lumber. Many deserted the claims, once the limber was harvested and the properties were sold for tax deeds.
Ranches were a significant part of Wesley Chapel’s history. An outstanding Texas Longhorn-Ankole bull was 15 years old and had a horn span of 54 inches, when he died at K-Bar Ranch in Wesley Chapel.

was known by various names through the years. Those names included Godwin, Double Branch, Wesley, Lemon and Gatorville – and finally,Wesley Chapel. One surprising discovery, she said, was that women have long been acknowledged for the prominent role they played in the community. “Pioneer women of Wesley Chapel were revered for their tireless days of toil, with a nurturing spirt and the skill to raise large families,”Wise wrote. For instance, Francis Asbury Barnes’ granddaughters, Martha and Vida, played pivotal roles in Barnes’ ranching operations. The women,Wise wrote, were “industrious managers of land and cattle.” Photographs and anecdotes in the 127page volume paint a portrait of a place where people worked hard and cared about their neighbors. It was a community where the church was the central gathering place. “This was a haven for the Singing Convention,” Wise said. “That’s something that occurred a lot in the South, but it was really, really prominent here. “It occurred any month that had a fifth Sunday,” she said. It was described by one descendant as Wesley Chapel’s ‘Grand Ole Opry.’ “It was hosted usually at the Double Branch Church (now known as the First Baptist Church of Wesley Chapel), and people came from everywhere,”Wise said. “When I interviewed Cullen Boyette, he said these barbershop quartets that were on the radio would come here. Mostly, it was
gospel music,” she said. “They would have music nearly the entire day, and then they had (what they called) ‘dinner on the ground,’” she said. They spread blankets out on the ground and enjoyed a potluck feast,Wise explained. She also noted that Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church, for whom many believe the community was named, operated only from 1890 to 1892, at the corner of State Road 54 and Boyette Road. Besides its church life, Wesley Chapel was known for its moonshining, gator hunting and turpentine stills,Wise said. The timber and turpentine industries also played a significant role, she said. And, many ranching operations were founded on land where timber had been depleted, and the land was sold off for for tax deeds,Wise wrote. Over time, many of Wesley Chapel’s ranches and citrus groves have given way to shopping centers, homes, schools, churches, a state college and other developments. Of all of the changes through the years, Wise thinks the construction of Interstate 75 had the biggest influence on the community’s growth. “I think that’s the most significant change.Wesley Chapel would not be what it
Mittie Lula Wells, standing in an orange grove, was the daughter of Mary Elizabeth Gaskin Wells and John Wesley Wells. She married Fernie Pasco Cooper in 1908. Pasco Cooper, as he was called, cut lumber on land owned by J.D. Rockefeller. Lumber trusts, such as the owned by Rockefeller, preceded large ranching operations in Wesley Chapel.
is today without that. It really did change the landscape,” she said. As she conducted interviews, tracked down records and gathered photographs, Wise developed a wealth of knowledge about Wesley Chapel. Despite her prodigious research, though, there were some questions that she could not answer. For instance, she couldn’t pinpoint the exact boundaries of the community – an issue still debated today. And, she couldn’t determine precisely how the community got its name. Some said it was named after an early settler. Others, claimed it was after John Wesley, founder of the United Methodist Church. As for Wise? She’s content, for now, to leave those questions open.
Two teachers and 33 students are in this photograph taken in the early 1920s at Wesley Chapel School.
