Temporary home for city hall By Kevin Weiss

Less waiting where it matters most – our emergency room. We work diligently to have you initially seen by a medical professional* in 30 minutes – or less.
As construction on the new City Hall complex ramps up, Zephyrhills city staff will shuffle operations to a familiar building. Beginning this summer, most city departments will relocate temporarily into the former Zephyrhills police station, at 5344 Ninth St. City council members approved a 12month lease agreement between the city and Dannie Jordan, of RTD Construction. It calls for the city to pay $4,000 per month for use of the 5,200-square-foot building,
from June 1 to May 1. The city also has an exclusive option to extend the contract month-to-month for up to six months. Council members took the action on March 13, during a regularly scheduled meeting. Once the staff has moved, the existing City Hall, at 5335 Eighth St, will be demolished to make way for construction of a new $6.2 million complex. The plan, which was approved in January, calls for a two-story building of 19,615 square feet, situated between the city’s public library and fire department on Eighth Street.
With a modern stone and brick exterior, the new City Hall follows an architectural template similar to the Zephyrhills Public Library. Compared to the current City Hall, the complex’s interior will be equipped with more open workspaces and multifunctional meeting rooms. Meanwhile, the former police station will accommodate most city departments, as construction is ongoing. However, two departments — Planning and Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) — will set up shop in the Jeffries See HOME, page 11A

Jessica Twitmyer received the top scores to win a $1,000 Pasco Heritage Scholarship, during the 34th “Spotlight on Talent” on March 11 at the Center for the Arts at Wesley Chapel High School. Because of its popularity, the talent contest is divided into two shows, said Barbara Friedman, the executive producer for the competition, which is put on by the nonprofit Heritage Arts Center Association. The afternoon performance features younger competitors and the evening show features older contestants. More than 160 students auditioned on Feb. 28 for a chance to compete in the finals, Friedman said. Of those, a total of 140 com-

peted in the two shows. Friedman was helped by assistant producers Dr. Rebecca Groomes and Alicia Polk Guanio.Also, a 15-member board of directors worked on the project for three months, and a final production team, including 20 members of the community, pitched in to put on the competition, Friedman said. Both performances drew audiences of hundreds of people, and performers competed for more than $5,000 in trophies, ribbons and cash prizes. Contestants included musicians, singers, dancers and musical theater performers.

City Manager Steve Spina
To help the city of Zephyrhills address annexations, rezoning and land-use changes, a new technician is being added to the municipal payroll. A Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technician is being added to help manage the city’s geographical database. The technician will provide ongoing mapping analysis for the city. The Zephyrhills City Council unanimously approved the new position on March 13, and the job was advertised on March 14. For the current budget year, the technician will be regular part-time with no benefits, Steve Spina, the city manager said. The job, however, may become fulltime “with a salary not to exceed $39, 239.69.”
The position, meanwhile, will be paid out of the city’s General Fund, Utility Fund and Sanitation Fund, due to the variety of work involved. During the past decade, various city employees have contributed to the creation and management of the city’s GIS database, incorporating GIS shape data files, information and maps. For instance, the assistant city planner’s job description allocates 10 percent of job duties toward GIS. The city also has a planning intern, Kevie Defranc, assisting the utilities department with GIS mapping. Defranc, a student in University of South Florida’s Masters of Urban Planning program, recently discovered several properties annexed into Zephyrhills that were not on the city’s tax roll.

Fitness expert offers tips to get healthy, stay healthy By Kevin Weiss

Are you really healthy? That was the main question posed by fitness professional Casio Jones, during a recent Community Awareness Series event, presented by PascoHernando State College. Jones is the wellness director for Florida Hospital Zephyrhills CREATION Health and Wellness Center, at 38233 Daughtery Road. KEVIN WEISS Jones held an educational and interactive discussion on Speaking to dozens of students, faculty and community members at Pasco-Hernando State College’s March 14 at PHSC’s East campus East Campus in Dade City, Casio Jones offered nutritional and fitness tips. He warned that poor diet choices and lack of exercise can lead to major issues later in life. in Dade City.

Besides offering several dietary parameters, Jones’ presentation also centered on exercise — and ways to get more of it. Setting achievable goals is a good way to start, he said. His suggestions include using the stairs more often, parking far away from various shopping destinations and taking daily evening strolls with a friend. Small changes can equal big results. Finding an enjoyable activity or sport is yet another simple way to be more physically active, Jones said. “Find excuses to move,” he said. “Discover something you enjoy doing.” Jones’ talk also included the need to maintain emotional and mental well-being. Adequate rest, getting outdoors each day and an overall optimistic attitude goes a long way toward relieving tension and stress, he said. “Focus on the good things,” he said,“and don’t pay attention to the small, negative things.” Since 2011, Jones was instrumental in overseeing the development of the new Florida Hospital Zephyrhills CREATION Health Wellness Center, which opened last February. The 13,000-square-foot, 24-hour fitness facility offers various group classes, healthy living seminars and a wellness spa. Since the grand opening more than a year ago, the facility’s membership has grown from 465 members to over 2,050 members, Jones said. “We are enjoying the impact we are making in our community,” he said. “It’s just a safe environment for people to come and learn.” For information, visit FHZWellness.com.

Larkin’s legacy goes beyond ‘tough guy’ reputation Knowing Your History By Doug Sanders Special to The Laker/Lutz News
W
illiam M. Larkin’s reputation for being a tough character outlasted his lifetime. Known as “The Meanest Man in Pasco County,” some people still recall that moniker applied to the Dade City man, nearly a half century after his death in 1973. Larkin reinforced that image by keeping a single-shot .22 rifle in the gun rack of his truck — a statement that often left a lasting impression with young cowboys. “Someone once wrote a letter to him, but they didn’t know his address,” said Bobby Tesar, recalling Larkin’s legendary reputation. “So, they addressed the letter to “The Meanest Man in Pasco County”—and he got the letter!” But, Larkin is known around Pasco County for much more than being considered a man with a difficult disposition. During his lifetime, he was a cattleman and lawyer, a member of the Pasco County School Board and the chairman of the Southwest Florida Water Management District. He established the first Santa Gertrudis herd in Florida in the early 1940s. “He gave the first bull “Rex” water and hay while penned in his side yard on Church Avenue,” said Ray Battle, who is Larkin’s cousin. Larkin transported Rex from Texas, in a trailer he pulled with his own car. Larkin’s neighbors soon would learn all about Rex and about Pancho, a 6-foot tall sire brought to Dade City from the world-famous King Ranch in south Texas. That ranch, founded in 1853, now stretches into six Texas counties, encompassing 825,000 acres. The Larkins made frequent trips to King

Purchased in 1924, the Larkin home on Church Avenue was originally built as a three-room cottage in 1884. It was part of a 10-acre spread that was later platted as one of the first subdivisions in Dade City.
Ranch, to expand their cattle herd in Pasco County. In 1940, the United States Department of Agriculture recognized what Larkin already knew: Santa Gertrudis was a distinctive beef breed, adaptable to most climates. “A Santa Gertrudis female can remain in production well past her 12th birthday and may stay in the breeding herd as long as 18 years,” reports the current Santa Gertrudis Breeders International website. Gaining additional calves over other cattlemen in Pasco County was perhaps a key reason that Larkin began searching for more land. Another primary reason was the success of his law practice that he operated along with his brother, E. B. Larkin. Larkin’s law practice enabled him to begin extensive land buying, including acreage along the Withlacoochee and Hillsborough rivers, Battle said. “He also had his eye on some rich land north of Dade City, which he got from 41 different property owners,” Battle added. With hundreds of acres along County Road 35-A (Old Lakeland Highway) and the Atlantic Coastline Railroad, Larkin would complain that the exit to his ranch was blocked whenever the train was parked there for long periods of time. At breakfast one morning at the Crest
Restaurant, Larkin told Charles Edwards that the train had pulled away that day with nearly half of the cars left behind. “He said that he disconnected them!” Edwards recalled. “I asked him about it a few months later, and he said they hadn’t parked there again,” Edwards added. Larkin used the railroad to his advantage when unloading large bulldozers at the depot to help begin constructing levees on that rich land north of Dade City. Draining the swampy marshes with high hammocks into improved pasture “required a dragline and expensive labor,” Battle explained. Larkin also brought seven pumps with 28-inch propellers from South Florida to discharge water into what became the Duck Lake Canal. The canal remains a major drainage system, along with the Larkin Canal, for the greater Dade City area and that rich land still known as “The Little Everglades Ranch.” Larkin was responsible for drafting the fence law for the Florida Legislature, and because of its 1949 passage, Florida remains a ''closed range'' state — making cattle drives through the state’s towns and cities a thing of the past. To abide by the ruling and to keep cattle on his own land, Larkin fenced 15,000

acres, stretching from north Dade City to south of the Polk County line. So in addition to his reputation for being difficult, Larkin was known for quite a few accomplishments. Plus, not everyone believed he was mean. Kitty Register Fisher recalls the time when her father was in the hospital and her mother had just lost a baby. “We were getting really low on food, and Mr. Larkin showed up with food to help us. “To my family he was a good man,” Fisher said. Could it be — that beneath that tough exterior — William M. Larkin, of Dade City, was actually a nice guy? Doug Sanders has a penchant for unearthing interesting stories about local history.

Connerton is hosting three events to give people a chance to write a few words of encouragement and inspiration for retired U.S. Army Sgt. David Roca and his family, who will be receiving a mortgagefree home from Connerton, Lennar and Operation Finally Home. Roca sustained several traumatic brain injuries in combat during his deployment to Iraq. One of those injuries occurred when an improvised explosive device hit his vehicle. Roca and his three children were surprised on a windy, chilly March morning when they found out they would be moving into a home in Connerton, a 4,800-acre mixed-used, master-planned community in central Pasco County. Roca and his children, Alex, Amelie and David Jr., will be moving into a 2,065-squarefoot, four-bedroom home, being built by Lennar Homes. The family is expected to move in on April 30. Those who would like to extend their congratulations and well wishes will have a chance to write them on the home’s studs before the dry wall is installed, said Joan Stout, a Connerton marketing consultant. Those signings will take place at the home site, 8743 Savory Walk Drive in Connerton, on April 1,April 2 and April 8, from noon to 3 p.m.
COURTESY OF GREY STREET STUDIOS INC.
Construction is already underway at 8743 Savory Walk Drive. The family of four is expected to move in on April 30.
Those unable to come during those times should visit Club Connerton, at 21100 Fountain Garden Way, where they can sign a heart. Those hearts will be stapled to the framing of the home, Stout said. The Roca family will be able to read the notes, as they do a walk-through of the home before the drywall is installed. That walk-through is expected on April 9. Grey Street Studios Inc., also will do a video tour to capture the notes of love so that the family will have a permanent remembrance of the wishes extended to them from the community. This is the sixth home Lennar has provided to military families around the country, and the first in the Tampa Bay market. Based in Texas, Operation Finally Home has provided more than 150 mortgage-free homes for veterans during the past 10 years.

Contagious Attitude Brings Results By Will Plazewski Special to The Laker / Lutz News
From the moment you walk into Your Best You P.A., you can feel that it’s a different kind of medical clinic with a different kind of attitude. Heck, it even smells different, courtesy of an aromatherapy diffuser puffing away in the lobby. With a focus on primary care and diabetes treatment/management, that’s the way Dr. Shani V. Davis, Ph.D., ANP-BC, CDE and her team intend it to be. Dr. Davis, a nurse practitioner for nearly 16 years, with the vast majority of it in endocrinology, has also worked, presented and instructed on Advanced Diabetes Management Strategies throughout Florida. Beyond all of her qualifications, you’ll find genuine concern and a positive attitude that comes naturally to her. In fact, it’s downright infectious. It’s clear that Dr. Davis really does connect with her patients, which would
explain her fiercely loyal following. Your goal is her team’s goal. More specifically, their aim is to assist patients with setting and reaching their own individual health-related outcomes. “Each patient comes from a different background, has a different set of circumstances, and a different goal or goals. One is no more valid than another,” said Dr. Davis. This kind of approach is especially important in the management of chronic diseases like diabetes. Once a person’s goals are set, the team designs plans of treatment, management and education for that individual. “Be it chronic disease care, health empowerment education, or geriatric wellness, we’ll meet you where you are and help you to move toward your health objectives, on your terms,” she added. Appointments can be made online or by calling, and walk-ins are also welcome. Dr. Davis invites you to come in for an initial consult, so her team can get to work on the best plan for you.

Sharing meals and good company By Helene Rubenstein Grand Horizons
The monthly Ladies Lunch Bunch met March 7 at Papa Joes, and the women that attended seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves with all the conversation among them. Carla Jones was the hostess of this function, and she did a very nice job. I spoke to Carla, and she told me 14 people showed up, and the restaurant supplied them with a separate room. Carla went on to say that there were two wait-
resses who took care of their group, and they were very attentive. The menu was varied, and some of the dishes consisted of a Cobb salad (tremendous); a sample plate, which included several foods; seafood dishes; and, even a seafood pasta delight. Their “special” drink was strawberry sangria and several women had this. Everyone seemed to enjoy their lunches, and because some plates were so large, there was food to take home, so they could reminisce about the good times. A few days later, on March 10, the lunch

connoisseurs went to Shells Seafood Restaurant, and it was hosted by Karen and Bill Donlon. Of course, a giant shell on the outside of the restaurant told us that we were in the right place. There was a nice crowd of 40 people who enjoyed being with their friends and neighbors. Once again, there was a variety of food, including chicken with veggies, clam chowder (that I heard was absolutely scrumptious), pasta and various seafood. Before dinner was served, Galen Parker said grace, while the rest of the people observed a moment of silence. We always have the lunch connoisseurs once a month, and most everyone looks forward to it. It is a nice way to get together. In the meantime, back at Grand Horizons, we are getting ready for our new resident phone directory.This directory, in addition to phone numbers, will have pictures of residents. This is good, as we can now place a face with a name. Nancy Martin is making the appointments for the pictures to be taken, and Karen Donlon is heading up the committee. It is always nice to have a fresh directory.

HOME, from page 1A House, at 38537 Fifth Ave. City Manager Steve Spina said the old police station is move-in ready, and has lines already pre-wired for city-owned computers and phones. “The building will be a perfect fit for us in terms of a relocation site during the construction of the new city hall,� Spina said. Only a few minor changes are needed, such as widening a window for customers to access the City Clerk’s office, Spina said. Besides ample workspace, the old police quarters should result in some cost savings for the city, which originally budgeted $120,000 for a relocation site. In other related action, the city council approved the purchase of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) chapter building, at 5325 Eighth St. The agreement calls for the city to pay the chapter $55,000 net, plus minimal closing costs.
COURTESY OF CITY OF ZEPHYRHILLS
As construction begins on a new City Hall complex, government employees will relocate temporarily into the former Zephyrhills police station, at 5344 Ninth St. The city signed a 12-month lease to use the 5,200square-foot building between June 17 and May 1.
Construction on a new $6.2 million City Hall complex is slated to begin this summer. The plan calls for a two-story building of 19,615 square feet, situated between the city’s public library and fire department on Eighth Street.
The .16-acre property, appraised at $71,200, sits on two lots measuring 50 feet-by-140 feet. In November, the council authorized obtaining an appraisal to determine the value of the property after DAV Chapter 65 announced it was shutting operations. The now-vacant property — adjacent to the current City Hall along Sixth Avenue — includes a 924-square-foot main build-
ing, a 450-square-foot aluminum storage building and a 335-square-foot concrete block building. The main DAV building was slated to provide temporary office space for the city’s Building Department, but an inspection unveiled various facility issues, including roof leakages. The building instead will be torn down to make way for additional parking and

sidewalks along Sixth Avenue. The property, moreover, encompasses the city’s vision of a courtyard plaza and walkway, linking the new City Hall and the city’s public library, and fire department on Eighth Street. “We’re buying it for the big picture,� Spina said last month.“Part of the appeal of the area is it would be a government complex.�

TECHNICIAN, from page 1A Defranc’s findings reportedly brought in several thousand dollars to the city, including one parcel that uncovered $50,000 in unpaid taxes. But, as workloads pile up, Spina said the city now requires a single point of contact “educationally trained to handle the duties and responsibilities� of GIS. Addressing the council, Spina said it took city staff about a year and a half to upgrade all of the city’s maps, and reform rezoning and land use changes, from prior years. Moreover, he noted, all of the city’s GIS data and maps will need continual updates, as the city grows and develops. In addition to planning, the technician
will assist other departments on special projects, such as categorizing dumpster locations, utility line locations and sidewalks throughout the city. “The position’s a real asset to the planning department,� Spina said.“There’s just a wealth of things that can be done, in addition to the planning.� Public works director Shane Leblanc also addressed the council to offer his support for the newly created position. Leblanc said GIS responsibilities could prove even more critical once the city transitions to an automated garbage collection, where optimized routes for drivers can be identified and developed. “As technology evolves, GIS is just going to continue to be a more important asset, especially for public works,� Leblanc said.

Dogs trot out a few new tricks on their day in Dade City By B.C. Manion
bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com
Dogs were lapping up good times during Dogs’ Day in Dade City, on a beautiful Saturday at Agnes Lamb Park. Fifty-one dogs joined the dog parade at 10 a.m., and nearly two dozen competed in individual contests. Dogs’ Day in Dade City, now in its eighth year, is an event that’s aimed at giving dogs a chance to have fun, while their owners have a good time, too. Dogs, and their owners, could take part in an assortment of activities, and seemed to be enjoying themselves. It was an event that attracted Dade City Mayor Camille Hernandez, Dade City Police Chief Ray Velboom, pageant queens, high school volunteers and pet owners from all sorts of places, including St. Petersburg and Boston. There were also a variety of goodies on sale, both for pets and for their human companions.
China, a poodle, gets up close and personal with Miss Gainesville Courtney Graham, giving China’s owner Denise SutherlandRichardson and Graham a reason to chuckle.
Megan Phillips, a sophomore at Pasco High School, sings the National Anthem at the event. The honor guard includes NROTC Seaman Recruit Kevin Johnson and NROTC Petty Officer First Class Jonathan Miller.
Seven-year-old Wesley Baum and his 10-yearold sister, Annie, of Brooksville, hug their Golden Retriever, Bailey, just before the Pet Parade.
Dr. Jayapriya Raj of Florida Hospital, Zephyrhills' Critical Care Office in Dade City, holds Mario and Kylo next to her son, Danny Moses, 9. They live in Wesley Chapel.
Dade City Police Chief Ray Velboom accepts a donation from Dade City Mayor Camille Hernandez on behalf of the Paws Day organization. The money will go toward purchasing a police dog for the city.
Dogs’ Day volunteers included 15-year-olds Abigail Wilder, Alena Santiago, Jaydean Ireland and Jorlyanys Suarez-Ayala, all members of the National Honor Society at Zephyrhills High School.
Virginia McDaniel’s dog, Alaska, an American Eskimo Dog, is a therapy dog from Tranquil Pawz in Dade City.
Katelyn Harris, Miss Kumquat Festival, and her sister, Carrie Smith, both of Dade City, prepare Naomi — a dog of a different color — for the competition.
Tracy Sanderson, of Trilby, and also with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs, demonstrates the agility of her companion Hercules, an American Staffordshire Terrier.

PET of the WEEK
Polar opposites
Lupi is a 7-year-old Chihuahua who gets very mad with strangers, but is very loving with her owners. Lupi learned to love her adopted sister, Rosey, who is a Boingle (a mix of English pointer and a beagle.) Rosey is the opposite of Lupi and is super loving, and has to give kisses to everyone. Cielo Salazar, of Lutz, is the proud owner of Lupi and Rosey.

Hartlyn loves attention Hartlyn is a sweet girl and is only about 2 years old. She is a staff and volunteer favorite, and adores getting attention. Hartlyn is a pretty little lady, and is desperate to find someone who can love her and pet her as much as they can. Come meet Hartlyn.
COURTESY OF STEPHEN JOHN PHOTOGRAPHY
Kimmy is a younger girl Kimmy does great with children and adults, and has been a part of the doggie play group at the shelter. She is heartworm positive, but it is something that is treatable. This girl is ready to love and cuddle, but be prepared to play as well. Kimmy loves to play in the yard and loves the agility equipment. Despite her lumbering looks, Kimmy is quite quick on her feet.
Peaceful hunting Karen Whitenton enjoys nature photography as a hobby and snapped this photo of a Tricolored Heron (formerly known as the Louisiana Heron) in the pond behind her house, in Lutz. This heron likes quiet, shallow waters, and although it is solitary in its feeding, it is sociable in nesting, often in large colonies with other herons and egrets.
If you would like to adopt either Hartlyn or Kimmy, be sure to visit Pasco County Animal Services at 19640 Dogpatch Lane in Land O’ Lakes. The adoption center is open Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 6:30 p.m. All adoption fees include spay/neuter, microchip and vaccines. For more information, email adoptionpartners@pascocountyfl.net.
