Dade City and Zephyrhills pool their water

music, and the event itself is getting up there in years. Now in its 33rd year, it continues to bring musicians and fans of this style of music from across Florida, and even some from out of state as well.

The event began at the museum, but relocated after about a decade. A few years ago it moved back, and the creators of the competition are happy to see it return to

Zephyrhills and Dade City will connect their water systems as a hedge against emergencies and future development along U.S. 301, the highway that runs between them.

City commissioners in both cities recently approved a 25-year interlocal agreement to turn their spigots on if either city is in need. Each city would pay whatever the going rate is at the time.

The first step is installing about 3 miles of 12-inch water pipes and fire hydrants along the east side of U.S. 301 from Phelps Road to somewhere near the highway’s intersection with U.S. 98 Bypass in Dade City.

“The water will be used on an as-needed basis, mainly for emergencies,” said John Bostic, Zephyrhills’s utilities director.

But city officials want to prepare for more rooftops and shops that could one day populate the highways and byways of Zephyrhills and Dade City.

A $2 million grant awarded to the City of Zephyrhills by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection will pay for construction. The project’s design, by Jones Edmunds & Associates, is nearly completed.

The construction contract will be bid this summer, with an anticipated completion date of summer 2016.

Bostic said the initial plan to route the water pipes along the west side of the highway changed when the Florida Department of Transportation decided to install 10-foot wide multi-use trails on the west side of the road as part of a repaving project.

Construction on that project is under way.

The dividing line for maintaining the new water lines and serving customers will be Centennial Road.

Both cities rely on multiple public wells to supply residents and businesses with drinking water drawn from the Floridan aquifer system. Zephyrhills draws most of its water supply from wells permitted within the Hillsborough River Groundwater Basin, with some water also from a small portion within the Withlacoochee River Basin.

Musicians, fans celebrate old time music in Dade City

By Michael Murillo mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

When people listen to songs from the 1960s, they might consider it “old” music.

The upcoming Florida Old Time Music Championship also features music from the ’60s.

The 1860s, that is.

“It’s the kind of music that people who lived during pioneer times in early Florida would have actually played,” said Jessica Budin, office manager for the Pioneer Florida Museum & Village, where the event will be on April 10 and April 11.

Old time music is a genre of North American folk music that contains elements from the European countries from where the settlers came. It is characterized by acoustic string instruments such as the fiddle, guitar or banjo and can be instrumental or include vocals. Listeners might hear some similarities with bluegrass music, but old time music actually pre-dates that genre.

The Florida Old Time Music championship is an opportunity to bring performers together and celebrate historic

The Florida Old Time Music Championship WHERE: The Pioneer Florida Museum & Village, at 15602 Pioneer Museum Road in Dade City.

WHEN: 7 p.m. on April 10, and 10 a.m. on April 11. The banjo and fiddle finals will be at 7 p.m., April 11 COST: The cost is $5 on April 10, and $10 on April 11. Parking is free.

Inside, traditional gives way to modern.

There’s an open floor plan, colors that pop in purple and copper next to grays and beiges on interior walls, and state-of-the art connectivity and technology.

Out back, two covered patios, a fire pit, a waterfall and a flat-screen television add charm to a spacious, deep lawn.

“We call it the ‘wow’ lawn,” said Jon Solomon, president of Javic Homes. The company built this luxury 2015 Southern Living Custom Builder Showcase Home in the Brookside subdivision in Wesley Chapel.

The tree-lined streets and manicured landscape within this gated community evoke the homey feel of neighborhoods of the past.

“I always think it’s a Norman Rockwell neighborhood,” said Solomon. “You just don’t see this anymore. It’s a really nice family neighborhood.”

During March, the showcase home, at 29318 Chapel Park Drive, drew between 3,000 and 4,000 visitors. Proceeds from ticket sales benefited two local charities,

Nearly 150 model homes from 35 builders in 82 communities in Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando, Citrus and Marion counties are on this year’s tour.That makes it the largest new-home showcase in the Tampa Bay area, according to the sponsor, the Tampa Bay Builders Association.

The association is based in Tampa and has more than 750 members including local builders, developers, suppliers and architectural firms.

Homes will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 pm., Monday through Saturday, and noon to 6 p.m., on Sunday, during the parade. A panel of industry professionals will judge the homes based on site plan, curb appeal, design, materials, outdoor living spaces, architectural details and workmanship.

The sales price for the four-bedroom, 4,100 square-foot home in Brookside is $895,000. Planning, design and construction took about a year. About a dozen open lots remain in the subdivision, which is adjacent to Saddlebrook Resort, off State Road 54.

St. Joseph’s Hospital-North turns five

By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

When St. Joseph’s Hospital-North opened its doors five years ago, it was the first new hospital built in Hillsborough County in 30 years. “Our goal was to provide a health care alternative in this community because there really weren’t many alternatives,� said Paula McGuiness, president of the hospital, at 4211 Van Dyke Road in Lutz.. “It was an underdeveloped medical infrastructure, if you will. There weren’t many doctors out here. There certainly wasn’t a hospital,� McGuiness said.

People needing to go to a hospital had to drive 13 miles or more, she added.“That was why this was built.�

The hospital acquired the land in the 1980s, anticipating a future need, McGuiness said.

Since St. Joseph’s Hospital-North began operations on Feb. 15, 2010, both Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel and Medical Center of Trinity, in neighboring Pasco County, have opened their doors. “You would think that it would have a big impact on the volume of patients that we see, but, in fact, there has not been much change, overall,� McGuiness said.

More than a half-million people visited a loved one at St. Joseph’s Hospital-North during the hospital’s first five years, and it treated nearly a quarter-million patients.

The hospital’s work force has grown, too.

It began with around 425 employees and now exceeds 575, McGuiness said. Many employees have been there since it opened. “We have a lot of team members who previously had worked in places like St. Pete and Clearwater, so now, we have provided a close-to-home work environment,� she said.

There’s also a medical office building on the property, housing physicians from a wide array of specialty areas.

The hospital has an ambulance service and a helipad, enabling it to transport patients to other facilities when necessary.

In fact, when St. Joseph’s Hospital-North was planning to move into Lutz, one of the most controversial aspects was its intention to have a helipad. “People were concerned we were going to be bringing in helicopters to be a port here.We’re not transporting in.What we do is we do transfer out,� McGuiness said.

The hospital was built with comfort in mind, for both patients and their families. “The aesthetics don’t make the care, but they are a kind of backdrop for the kind of care that we provide,� McGuiness said. “If

WHERE: St. Joseph’s Hospital-North, 4211 Van Dyke Road in Lutz WHO: All are welcome WHAT: Children’s activities; health and wellness demonstrations and speakers; baby play area; a reunion of babies born at the hospital with the doctors and nurses who cared for them; food trucks; wellness screenings; live entertainment; a teddy bear clinic (bring your own teddy bear patient); and, judging of a baby photo contest the hospital conducted on its Facebook page throughout March.

you can provide an ambience, an environment that is soothing and restful and doesn’t have that sterile, stereotypic hospital feel, then you can support the health and well-being of individuals that come here.�

Along those lines, the hospital’s common areas are spacious and inviting, and all patient rooms are private.

The patient rooms are designed with the notion that family members would be active participants in their loved one’s care, McGuiness said. “Even with the ICU (intensive care unit), we allow the family to stay in the room with the patient during their stay, if that’s what they desire,� McGuiness said.“It’s not just the patient, it is the family that needs that type of support.�

In terms of construction, the hospital was built to accommodate future expansion.

It also was designed with the environment and energy conservation in mind.

St. Joseph’s Hospital-North was the first acute hospital in Florida to be LEED (Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design)-registered by the U.S. Green Building Council.

The hospital has technology that is designed to support quality patient care, in a secure environment.

It was the first hospital in Baycare Health System to be almost entirely paperless.

The electronic medical records represent a significant technological move forward in the arena of patient care, McGuiness said.

The records give doctors access to a patient’s medical history. “No matter the event — whether you’re

able to say what your history has been or not — we’re going to be able to access that (information) for you and take care of you,�

McGuiness said.

The hospital surgical services include ear, nose and throat; gastrointestinal, gynecological, orthopedic, podiatry, urology and plastics, in case of reconstructions necessary from trauma.

Early on, it added a labor and delivery unit. “When we first opened, we didn’t have a mom-baby and labor and delivery unit set up. We were still working with our physicians to bring them onboard. “So, it was about nine months before we delivered the program,� McGuiness said. So far, more than 1,700 babies have been born there.

On another front,“we’ve added oncology infusion services, which is a big deal for us,�

McGuiness said. “Obviously, we have the cancer institute at the (St. Joseph’s Hospital) main campus (in Tampa), but this is a feeder. “It’s not a great time when someone is going through chemo, and to be able to have the service so close to home, I think, makes a difference.At least, that’s what our patients say,� McGuiness said.

Besides providing medical care, the hospital also has become part of the community’s fabric in other ways, too, McGuiness said.

She’s especially pleased by that community partnership.

One way it connects is through its educational programs, she said. “In the five years, we’ve provided over

Paula McGuiness, president of St. Joseph’s Hospital-North, is gratified that the hospital has become part of the community’s fabric.

500 educational classes,� she said.They can be as simple as CPR, childbirth classes or safe-sitter program.

But there’s also a whole lecture series, provided by physicians, to help people with medical issues. “At different points of your life, you’re interested in different things: Your hip replacements, your knee replacements,�

McGuiness said.“We have those kinds of sessions. Our doctors do that as a voluntary service for the community.�

The quality of food in the hospital’s cafÊ also made it an attractive place for people to meet and eat, she said.

It’s not unusual for people from nearby Exciting Idlewild Baptist Church to have meetings at the hospital, or to come by after Sunday services for brunch.

McGuiness welcomes those visitors. “That just reinforces how much of a part of that fabric of the community that you are,� she said.

Celebrating the Feast of Passover The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

Ten-year-old Efram Marvin reads from the Hagadah and recites the Four Questions, part of the Passover Seder at the Trinity Fellowship Hall in Wesley Chapel.

Shoresh David Messianic Synagogue of Wesley Chapel celebrated the Feast of Passover with a traditional Seder Meal on April 3.

About 175 people took part in the celebration.

The Jewish people have been celebrating this feast for about 3000 years, according to Rabbi Ed Marvin of Shoresh David Messianic Synagogue, 33405 State Road 54.

Messianic Judaism is a movement of Jewish and non-Jewish people who believe that Jesus,“Yeshua” in Hebrew, is the promised Messiah whom Moses and the prophets said would come, Marvin said, via email.

The Feast of Passover celebrates God’s great deliverance for the Jewish people long ago from slavery in Egypt and also God’s great redemption for all humanity from slavery to sin and death, Marvin said.

FRED BELLET/PHOTOS

Timothy Calco, 12, of Land O’ Lakes, sounds the Shofar, a ram’s horn, mainly used during the Jewish New Year. Calco was a natural for the task, as he also plays saxophone and trumpet.

Shannon Beaver of Dade City reads through the Haggadah, a text that sets forth the order of the Passover Seder. The Haggadah is read at the Seder and tells the story of the freeing of the Jewish slaves as described in the Bible’s Book of Exodus. Shannon attended the Seder with her husband, Steve.

The Passover Seder plate is the symbolic centerpiece of the Seder table. The seven ritual symbols on the plate retell the story of Exodus.

Pancakes, movies and more at Grand Horizons

By Helene Rubenstein Grand Horizons

The snowbirds are starting to leave Grand Horizons after spending a great winter with many activities that we had previously and brand new ones to boot.

There is enough going on each day to keep anyone busy. Between shuffleboard, bingo, mahjongg, cribbage and so much more, you don’t have to stop and think what to do next. We have enough luncheons, shows, meetings, card games and additional things for us to get together with our neighbors to socialize and mingle.

Approximately 25 people went

to an AARP Safe Driving course. From what I understand from talking to some of the people, the course went over some driving and safety tips. They also saw a video, and because of taking this course can get a reduction on their auto insurance.

On March 28,we had more than 90 people at the pancake breakfast. This was the first pancake breakfast that we went to in a long time, and it turned out to be as good as other people had mentioned. Needless to say, it certainly will not be the last.

Now, in addition to egg n’ bag, we have another breakfast to add to our list — pancakes and more.The

breakfast was hosted by Colleen Crandall and Rosemary Semian, and they had several helpers.

Then, at 7 p.m., we were treated to a great movie called “Last Vegas” starring Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline and Mary Steenburgen. The cast in the show was fantastic. It was about three 60-something friends who take a break from their day-to-day lives to throw a bachelor party in Las Vegas for their last remaining single friend. The movie night was hosted by Cheryl Leone, and all who came had a terrific time and enjoyed some popcorn.

This is one of the new activities, Ron and Joyce Bell at one of the many functions at Grand Horizons. and it is a big hit.

Busy Hands helping others KC (knitting, crocheting and cro-hooking) Busy Hands of Leisure Days recently made the group’s final deliveries to The Zephyrhills Pregnancy Care Center and hospice.

This season, these dedicated workers donated 135 afghans and lap robes. The pregnancy center received 67 baby afghans, as well as some for new mothers.

Participants of KC Busy Hands have touched the lives of more than 2,000 people since the program started in 2011. The Busy Hands Quilters also made 48 quilts and donated 36 to the Shriners Children’s Hospital in Tampa, and the pregnancy center and PHOTOS COURTESY OF ANNE ASTLES Leisure Days residents.

Beer crawl will provide scholarship funds

By Michael Murillo mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

Families dealing with autism have a host of special challenges and expenses.

When one child has the condition, it affects the entire family — including brothers and sisters.

Those siblings often make sacrifices such as giving up free time to help with their brother or sister’s therapy, missing events with friends, and being understanding when their sibling requires more care and attention than they do.

Usually the focus isn't on them.

But Sydney Has A Sister, a local nonprofit organization, puts its energies and efforts toward doing something for the other children in those families.

The organization, now in its second year, provides college money for high school students who have a sibling with autism.

The organization’s latest fundraiser will be a beer crawl on April 11.

The nonprofit began when Becky Black, a career specialist at Sunlake High School, was looking for scholarships for students with an autistic brother or sister. She didn't find any, and began to daydream about starting one herself.

"I said 'You know what I would do if I won the lottery? I would start a foundation, and I would give scholarships to students who have a sibling with autism,'" she recalled.

Her husband, Ernie, didn't wait for a winning ticket. He did the heavy lifting to get Sydney Has A Sister off the ground, and now it's a family project.

The name comes from the Black’s own family situation.

Sixteen-year-old Sydney has made many sacrifices for 15-year-old sister, Regan.

Regan's autism makes communication a challenge, and that often leaves Sydney to help guide her sister when she doesn't feel

COURTESY OF BECKY BLACK

Regan Black, left, and her sister, Sydney Black, have always had a close relationship.

They're the inspiration behind Sydney Has A Sister, which provides scholarship money to students who have a sibling with autism.

Cornerstone Is Now Your Hometown Plumber After eight years of helping families with their A/C and Heating needs, Cornerstone has expanded into plumbing with our quality workmanship and dependable products.

Beer crawl for autism Sydney Has a Sister, a nonprofit foundation that provides scholarships to college-bound students with an autistic sibling, will host a Beer Crawl April 11 at World of Beer, 402 S. Howard Ave., in Tampa. Check-in is 3 p.m., followed by the crawl at 4 p.m.

The event is for ages 21 and older. The cost is $25 per person and includes a Tshirt, one free beer at each stop, and drink specials and entrance to the after-party at MacDinton’s Irish Pub at 7 p.m.

"For her to get out of her pajamas, Sydney would be that voice of reason for Regan," Black said.

Sydney also will take her sister to the movies and to eat at restaurants, keeping a close eye on her and looking out for those who might not understand her disability.

While there are sacrifices, Black has come to realize that the challenges have also forged close bonds between the sisters that surpassed what she thought was possible when her daughter was diagnosed with autism.

"For many years I thought that my kids will never have a typical sibling relationship that I had with my sisters," Black said. "I realize now that my daughters are probably closer in that way than my sisters and I actually were."

The entire family has gotten closer by putting in a lot of effort to make Sydney Has A Sister a productive organization.

Last year, they set a goal of providing three $1,000 scholarships to students, and ended up doubling that number. Including smaller donations to schools that have special education programs, Sydney Has A Sister gave out $7,000 last year, and they want to double it in 2015.

They keep a busy fundraising schedule, with a golf scramble, silent auction and wine tasting bringing in money last year. Now they're adding the beer crawl during Autism Awareness Month, and hope to see 250 participants to raise $4,000 or more from the event.

While a $1,000 scholarship isn't lifechanging for a student, families with an autistic child bear a great deal of out-of-pocket expenses, so extra college money helps.

"If it's just something to recognize their love and compassion and the sacrifices for their sibling, to me, that's very rewarding," Black said.

7 Things You Must Know Before Putting Your Land O’ Lakes Home Up for Sale Land O’ Lakes – A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeowners make when selling their home, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.

This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s market. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of home-sellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and – worse – financially disadvantaged when they put their homes on the market.

As this report uncovers, most home-sellers make 7 deadly mis-

takes that cost them literally thousands of dollars. The good news is that each and every one of these mistakes is entirely preventable. In answer to this issue, industry insiders have prepared a free special report entitled “The 9 Step System to Get Your Home Sold Fast and For Top Dollar”.

To order a FREE Special Report, visit www.homesellermistakes.com or to hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-2440174 and enter 1000. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

such an appropriate venue.

“It’s been great,” said Jim Strickland, who still runs the event with Ernie Williams.

“They love having us, and we love being there. Our stage is the front porch of the Overstreet House (on display at the museum). It’s a beautiful setting.”

Playing old time music on a front porch is especially authentic, since that’s often where it was performed. Another popular venue for this kind of music was church, Strickland said.

The music brought people together and was a main source of entertainment, he said.

While the Florida Old Time Music Championship will have competitions across many categories, Strickland said it’s not a high-pressure event.

When they’re not onstage, performers might get together for an impromptu jam session.

Groups also form on the spot to enter a contest.There’s even a chance a musician may perform as a backup player for a competitor.

“It’s a very friendly, non-threatening atmosphere for a contest,” Strickland said.

The event will also feature music professionals as special guests.

Recording artists Erynn Marshall and Carl Jones, a married couple known for their old time talents, will perform three sets over the two-day event. Jones will also host a guitar workshop on Saturday morning.

The Southwest Florida Management District is the state agency that issues water use permits. Currently the Hillsborough River basin is on the agency’s list of “areas of water resource concern.”

Dade City’s permitted wells are within the Withlacoochee basin.

“Hillsborough is definitely more restricted,” said Gordon Onderdonk, Dade City’s utilities director.

The long-range strategy of a unified water system traces back to the East Pasco Water Coalition, which was founded in 2009 through an interlocal agreement with Zephyrhills, Dade City, St. Leo and San Antonio. Onderdonk said the group meets about twice a year.

Predictions then were for demand to exceed water supply within 20 years.

Swiftmud records show demand is high, but municipalities have reduced overall water usage in the last five to 10 years. Water restrictions, including limited lawn watering, and reclaimed water programs are among reasons for the decrease.

But as the economy recovers, developers are eyeing new projects that could add to water demand.

“There’s a lot of talk about (development) along U.S. 301,” Bostic said.

If it materializes, Zephyrhills and Dade City officials say linking their water systems will be a good backup.

COURTESY OF JIM STRICKLAND

Hundreds of people travel to Dade City each year to hear the kind of music early Florida settlers enjoyed.

While the music naturally appeals to fans of old time, Budin said that the event will also appeal to people who aren’t familiar with the genre.The songs performed are authentic to the time period, but have been passed down from generation to generation and still exist even in today’s culture. It

might be a melody or a beat from a commercial, or perhaps something heard as a child, but elements of old time music will be familiar to many listeners.

“Really, anybody who enjoys music will find something that they like to listen to out here,” she said.

JAVIC, from page 1A This is the second time Javic Homes has been included in Southern Living’s Custom Builder Program for showcase homes. Last year’s home was in South Tampa.

“I think it’s a great way to highlight our work,” said Solomon. Making it a charitable event is a plus.“We like to give back to our community,” he added.

Southern Living’s custom builder program is by invitation only, and includes about 100 of the nation’s top builders. Magazine representatives review homeowner and business references, and make site visits before adding a homebuilder to the group.

Showcase homebuilders can choose from more than 1,000 design plans in Southern Living’s database, but can modify plans or do their own.

Southern Living representatives have to approve the plan and the interior finishes, Solomon said.

“So we can coordinate everything with Southern Living designers,” he added.

Javic Homes was founded in 2001 and has

An eye-catching feature in the backyard is a fire pit and a flat-screen television for outdoor viewing.

built about 300 homes in the Tampa Bay area.

For its 2015 showcase home, Solomon

said, “We had inspiration from one of (Southern Living’s) plans. It’s a little more

open. It’s what people want these days.”

The two-story home opens to a grand foyer, flanked by a den and formal dining room.The master suite is off the great room, which flows into the kitchen and a breakfast nook. There also is a powder room, mudroom, laundry and a two-and-a-half car garage. On the second floor, there are three bedrooms, a bonus room and a balcony.

Local artists such as Sarah Hull, Francine Bauer, Lori Starkey, Debra Radke and Sharon Britton display their artwork throughout the house.

Personal tastes in homes vary, but Solomon said trends generally are for clean lines and interiors that are not ornate, but have simple styles.

Homebuyers also want durability and energy efficiency. Technology is an integral part of new homes with devices that operate televisions, garages, sprinkler systems, alarm systems, lights and sound.

Lifestyles, budgets and personal tastes are part of the decision making when building a custom home. “You always try to balance lifestyle needs with decorating and design details,” Solomon said.

Specializing in International Styles

By Anne Childers Special to The Laker / Lutz News

Mike Singh first learned his extraordinary barber skills in New York City, where he worked with all nationalities as he perfected his talents and experiences. But Florida proved to be the right location to open his own business.

Now with over 15 years experience, Mike and his wife and business partner, Caren Badrudeen Singh, have opened Barbers International to bring all that big city style to Tampa. The salon is centrally located on Nebraska Avenue, between Busch Boulevard and Fowler Avenue.

“We are gender friendly and cater to all races and ethnicity, including West Indian and Guyanese,” Mike says.

The large, nine-chair salon is immaculate and comfortable. It is staffed by seven talented barbers and two cosmetologists/stylists, all who stay busy providing color, cuts, dreads, extensions, waxing and facials for men and women.

Stylist Mica specializes in braids, cornrows and kinky twist. Caesars, fades, blowouts and comb-overs are all in a day’s work for this talented crew of barbers and stylist. Ray-hawks and other sports cuts are another popular specialty.

Barbers International also is home to two additional artists — tattoo artist Andy and graphic artist Angel, both who work with the Singhs to perfect designs for clients. Their creative work can be seen on hair, skin, business cards and T-shirts for a total branding and personalized style for anyone looking to really stand out in business or personal life.

Also operating from Barbers International is Caren’s specialty business, Elegant Occasions.

“At Elegant Occasions, we take hair design and makeup to our clients for special events and weddings,” Caren says.

“In fact, we recently traveled to Miami to provide all the on-site hair styling for a complete wedding party.”

Barbers International is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and will stay open as long as there are customers in the shop. Children and adults with special needs are given preferential service with minimal waits. Walk-ins are also welcome, and pricing is competitive.

“Let Barbers International give you your best look and style yet,” says Mike.

“We are here to make you as beautiful as you feel.”

Land O’ Lakes girls reach state soccer finals

By Michael Murillo mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

The Land O’ Lakes girls soccer team might have surprised some people by reaching the Class 3A state finals. But it didn’t surprise their coach.

“I said at our parent meeting (last October) I have high expectations. I expect to be in the state finals in February,” said coach Vicky King.

And if King believes something, there’s good reason to take her at her word. After 28 seasons coaching the team, including a state title in 2003, King has established herself as a good judge of talent.And King was right on the money last October, leading the Gators to a perfect 8-0 record in Class 3A-8, a 1-0 victory over Matanzas in the regional final and a close 2-1 victory over Ponte Vedra in the state semifinal that ended with penalty kicks to determine the winner.

Land O’ Lakes eventually fell in a 21 overtime loss to defending state champion American Heritage. But they were right where King said they’d be in February and finished with a 24-2 record.

King knew early on she had the talent to go far in the playoffs. In fact, she said this was the most talented Land O’ Lakes team that she’s coached. And they weren’t just dominant in one part of the game.

“It’s a very well-rounded team,” King said.“We’ve always been very good defensively, but we produced a lot more off this year and had a lot of offensive threats.”

There were a few minor setbacks along the way, King said. Late buses, rescheduled games and a late start to pre-season tryouts were just a few obstacles they overcame.

But they had some good luck, too, like avoiding major injuries. All 22 players who started the season were available in the state final.

Throughout the season, they played the same attacking style regardless of opponent, and it served them well.Although they were ahead most of the time, they did come from behind in a couple of games during the year. Those comebacks showed persever-

COURTESY OF VICKY KING

The Land O’ Lakes girls soccer team reached the state finals with an attacking offense and stifling defense.

ance, King said, and an ability to work through difficulties as a team without pointing fingers and blaming each other.

The coach credits the team’s juniors and seniors for keeping expectations high and teaching the program’s philosophy to the younger players. It’s up to them, King said, to be leaders and take ownership in their success on the field.

“I coach them, but it’s their team,” she said.

One of those players is junior Tori Cannata, who has already committed to playing at the next level for the University of Arkansas. She believes that even though the players are the ones on the pitch, the coach is a big part of the team’s success.

“What makes coach King special is the

way she runs the program,” Cannata said.

“Everyone just respects her completely.”

To show that respect, players give their best effort to prove they belong on the team, and practice hard so as not to let up on the program’s momentum.

This year’s momentum also meant some well-deserved accolades for the coach, as well. King won the 2015 Florida Dairy Farmers Girls’ Soccer Class 3A Coach of the Year award.

While she said it’s an honor to be recognized and appreciates the award, it’s clear she doesn’t like too much attention directed at herself, but instead thinks it should be on the team. She’s won awards before, but when asked for details she preferred not to elaborate on her personal accomplishments.

“If you really need it, I can tell you how many times (she’s won coach of the year awards), but whatever,” King said.

Instead, she likes to focus on the team and maintaining a quality program. She’ll lose four seniors (two of whom are starters), so most of the team should remain intact. And with good depth to help replace the players they’re losing, they should continue to be a competitive team.

While they fell just short of a state title, King can look back on this past season as one of the best.

“We have to consider it one of our most successful seasons as far as level of play, the dominance, going it to the final four, winning the semifinal on (penalty kicks),” she said.“Those were all great deeds.”

Worth the Trip

By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

S

pend a little time at the Tampa Bay History Center, and you’ll likely walk away knowing more about the region than people who have lived here their entire lives.

At the center, located at 801 Old Water St., in Tampa, you can get a look at such things as hanging chads from the United States 2000 presidential election, a record book from the city’s Negro hospital and a 42-star American flag flown at the 1892 dedication of Hillsborough County.

It’s a place where you can learn about the region’s citrus, cattle and cigar industries, its political and cultural history, and its penchant for sports and outdoor festivals.

“We’re telling the story of historic Hillsborough County, which includes, of course, Lutz and South County and East County — Hillsborough County present day, but also historic Hillsborough County, which was much bigger, which encompasses all or part of about 23 present-day counties,” said Manny Leto, who handles marketing for the history center.

Museum exhibits trace back to Florida’s first people, natives who were hunting and fishing on the shores of Tampa Bay, thousands of years ago.

The history center explores 500 years of recorded history and 12,000 years of habitation in the Tampa Bay region.

It keeps its exhibits fresh and continues to tell the region’s evolving story, Leto said.

“That’s one thing that I really love about the history center,” he said.“(We) continue that conversation.”

While visitors have different preferences, one popular exhibit is “Coacoochee’s Story,” Leto said.

“That is a real wow factor here. People are really impressed. It’s what we call an immersive theater experience.You walk in, and you feel like you’re transported back into Florida wilderness,” he said.

The history center staff understands the need to present its exhibits in an interesting way.

“There’s so much competition for people’s attention. So, you have to present the information in an engaging way, and you have to keep up with changes in technology,” Leto said.

The 60,000-square-foot history center offers two floors of permanent exhibits and a third floor of temporary exhibits.

“We’ve brought in exhibits from The Smithsonian.We’ve brought in exhibits from the Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

We’ve brought in exhibits from all over the United States, museums and libraries all over the country, including things we’ve produced here.

During the heyday of cigar factories in Tampa, lectors read Spanish newspapers or translated English publications, as cigar factory workers plied their trade. An exhibit at the Tampa Bay History Center pays homage to the lectors.

This sign advertises cigars made in Tampa, touting a product that was once a key part of the city’s commerce.

The Tampa Bay History Center explores the culture of Tampa Bay residents, including its early Native American settlers, as well as its Cuban, Italian, African-American and other residents.

The current exhibit, which runs through April 26, is called “The Art of Piracy: Pirates in Modern Culture.”

One highlight at the center is The J. Thomas and Lavinia W.Touchton Collection of Florida Cartography.Tom Touchton, a native of Dade City, played an instrumental role in championing the development of the history center.

The cartography collection features 3,000 Florida maps, charts, prints and views

that span a period of 500 years.

Throughout the museum, there are opportunities to learn about the region’s colorful past.

Visitors can check out a cigar store — built to resemble a 1920s-era Ybor City storefront, complete with a wooden Indian advertising its wares.

As they gaze about the shop, they’ll see an authentic cash register, genuine cigar cases and signs touting a product of one of

Tampa’s chief industries.

“The first of Tampa’s cigar factories opened in 1886. By 1920, there were as many as 300, working at full capacity,” a sign at the history center says.

Visitors also can watch a film about cattle ranchers and learn that the term, Florida cracker, comes from the crack of the whip that cowboys use to communicate with each other and to keep cattle moving along.

Over time, the term took on a broader meaning.

Author Patrick, in his brief history of the Florida cracker, put it like this:“What really makes a person a true Florida cracker (besides being born in the state)?

“Several things:A love of the land and nature, growing things in soil, close family ties, and a deep sense of religion.

“It also means cracklin’ bread and grits and periwinkle soup and swamp cabbage and okra gumbo and ham hocks with collard greens and chicken fried in a cast iron skillet and guava jelly and homemade blackberry cobbler.”

About 80,000 people visit the history center each year, with about half of those coming from outside of Hillsborough County, Leto said.

If you’re planning a visit, allow yourself about two hours to tour the history center.

If you’d like a memento of your visit, there’s a gift shop, and if you’re hungry, you can grab a bite to eat at the Columbia Café.
