The money isn’t in anyone’s bank account yet, but a state loan program might be the solution to fund the widening of State Road 56 to four lanes from Wesley Chapel to Zephyrhills, according to a press release from State Rep. Danny Burgess and State Sen. John Legg. The lawmakers, in consultation with the Florida Department of Transportation staffers, including Secretary Jim Boxold, are looking to the State Infrastructure Bank as a potential source for a low-interest loan. The loan could be made to Pasco County for the cost of building additional traffic lanes. The infrastructure bank provides loans and other assistance to public or private entities for projects that qualify for aid under federal and state law. To start the process moving, a letter of interest must be submitted by May 29 for the loan to be included in the bank’s 2016 cycle. “This is a much needed project,” said Burgess. “It’s important for economic growth to our area, a benefit that affects all

of Pasco and all of the region.” County officials plan to meet with state officials on April 16 to get details on how the loan would work. “We’re still in early stages of exploring this,” said David Goldstein, Pasco’s assistant county attorney. To many, the four-lane extension is a decade-long unfulfilled promise. “I’m afraid if we let this go by now, it will be another decade,” said Charles Proctor, president of the Zephyrhills City Council and a long-time Zephyrhills’ business owner. Current plans are to extend State Road 56 from Meadow Pointe Boulevard in Wiregrass Ranch to U.S. 301 in Zephyrhills, as a two-lane road. Even for this two-lane See SR 56, page 9A

Compromise settles dispute over racetracks By Kathy Steele ksteele@lakerlutznews.com
Dirt bike champion Chad Reed agreed to give up two hours of practice time on Saturdays, and the Pasco County Commission agreed to let him have a new permit for his dirt bike training compound on Duck Lake Canal Road. The Saturday restrictions are part of a negotiated agreement that also requires Reed to maintain recording equipment for timestamped videos of racetrack activities. He must keep the videos for 30 days for potential county review. Other rules spell out additional riding hours during the week, the number of riders at any given time, and a ban on any public uses for the tracks. Reed and neighbors on the rural road in east Pasco have been battling for several
years over the use of motorcycle racing tracks that Reed says are essential to his professional career as a racer in Motocross and Supercross competitions.The Australian native is a multiple American Motorcyclist Association Supercross champion. Some of his neighbors say Reed’s dirt bikes roaring around and around the tracks create excessive noise at all hours. “We’d prefer to have crickets and cows …. but we understand property rights,” said Dade City attorney Len Johnson. He represents the Larkin family — neighbors to the Reeds — and supported the compromise. “We’ve been working diligently to come up with something that works on all sides.” The county sued Reed in 2013 and won an injunction to block use of most of the racetracks. One track approved in 2004 was excluded from the ban.The lawsuit alleged
that Reed built additional tracks that didn't have county approval. The commission voted on April 8 to approve a new permit as well as a settlement agreement to end the litigation.A special magistrate will have authority to mediate future disputes between Reed and his neighbors. “We think this is a great solution, so we won’t keep having these problems,” said attorney Barbara Wilhite, who represents Reed and his wife Ellie Jo Reed.The Reeds are trustees for the Reed Children Trust, the property’s owner of record. The total property is about 63 acres, with about 24 acres developed as a racing compound. All tracks are outdoors but include two replicas of indoor tracks as well as two buildings and a go-kart track. See RACETRACKS, page 9A

Simon Property Group opted not to seek a 90-foot pylon sign near Interstate 75 that would have advertised the Tampa Premium Outlets, under construction on State Road 56.
No 90-foot sign for new outlet center By Kathy Steele ksteele@lakerlutznews.com
Tampa Premium Outlets’ developers can order an array of decorative signs for the retail complex under construction off State Road 56, but at least for now, a 90-foot pylon sign won’t be one of them. The Pasco County Commission approved a signage plan that excludes the 90-foot pylon sign. The Simon Property Group, the outlet mall’s developer, initially requested the 90foot sign as part of its signage plan, but dropped that portion of the request after the county’s development review panel raised objections. Simon Property Group has the option to try again later, with a new application. The sign had been planned for installation along Interstate 75. The county’s regulations would limit the sign’s height to no higher than 30 feet. David Goldstein, Pasco’s assistant county attorney, also indicated the sign wouldn’t meet regulations of the Florida Department of Transportation and could affect Pasco’s share of highway funds.
Outlet mall officials had wanted the taller height to help motorists searching for the mall, as they zipped down the interstate. As many as 80 percent of the outlet mall’s customers are expected to be coming from outside the area and will be unfamiliar with the local road system, they said. While the tall sign was not part of the approved signage plans, the mall developer is enthusiastic about Tampa Premium Outlets. “We’re excited,” said John Dionis, senior director of development for New Jerseybased Simon Property Group, who made only brief remarks before the commission’s April 8 vote. “It’s been a great experience. We look forward to opening in October,” Dionis said. The 441,000-square-foot retail complex is expected to have more than 100 shops on State Road 56, near I-75.To date, the only announced tenant is the anchor, Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th. Following the vote, Dionis said he was not authorized to make comments. He referred questions about the sign to Les Morris, director of company public relations.

You may tweet, blog, surf, shop, or search online but you continue to read your free community paper. You just proved it. Readership of free community papers is now higher than paid daily papers, and continues to grow. Rather than being replaced by “instant” media, your local free community paper has become an important part of our neighborhood. The reason, which sometimes is not heard because of all the noise about the Internet, is pretty obvious: your free community paper does what the Internet doesn’t. We promote connections at a local level. Free papers join readers and advertisers in ways digital media doesn’t. In fact, the local content and power of your free paper makes advertising even more effective. We are the number one medium for driving purchases. That’s important in every product category.

PUBLISHER’S COLUMN
Industry audit proves our papers are well-read By Diane Kortus Publisher
When you look down your street every Wednesday and see The Laker/Lutz News in its blue newspaper bag, our hope is that you’ll pick it up to find useful information, compelling photographs and interesting stories. At the same time, we aim to deliver advertising that helps readers find out about local goods and services that help businesses in our community to thrive. So, every year we look forward to the results of a report produced by the Circulation Verification Council, known in the industry as the CVC, to see how we’re doing. This year’s results show that nearly four out of five households receiving our newspaper read it, and 78 percent of readers use the advertising to help plan their purchasing decisions. Those findings are based on a statistically valid survey that CVC conducts to find out if The Laker/Lutz News is being delivered, what people think about their community paper, and how readers use it. The CVC is an independent, third-party reporting firm that verifies the number of papers we print and deliver each quarter, and breaks down our circulation by zip code. It also calculates the number of papers we deliver to homes compared to the number that are distributed via newspaper racks and businesses. We do not pay for this audit — CVC is hired by newspaper associations to audit the circulation of their 3,000 member newspapers in the U.S. and Canada. The audit covers printing, distribution, circulation, websites, digital editions, mobile, email, social media and readership studies to give an accurate picture of a publication’s reach and market penetration. “We run our business the same way as financial auditors and auditors of all other media,” said CVC founder and president Tim Bingaman.“There’s no power of influence because publishers do not pay us directly for our services — we are totally impartial and just report the facts.” So what did CVC report from this year’s audit of The Laker/Lutz News? The report found that: • 80 percent of those responding said that they, or someone in their home, regularly read or look through our paper (compared to the CVC average of 74 percent). • Our average number of readers per paper (pass-along rate) is 1.95 (compared to the CVC average of 1.75). • 78 percent said they frequently pur-
chase products or services from local business ads seen in our papers (compared to the CVC average of 74 percent). • 85 percent of our distribution is home delivery, and 15 percent is through news boxes and business outlets. Our average circulation in 2014 was 42,600 divided among our four editions in Lutz, Land O’ Lakes, Wesley Chapel and East Pasco. CVC’s Tim Bingaman said the most impressive aspect of our audit is that we’ve achieved these above-average results yearafter-year in a highly competitive suburban market. “Typically, when a newspaper scores so well, it’s in a rural market where it is the only paper in town. For your newspapers to be doing so well puts you at the elite status among all the papers we audit,” said Bingaman. Bingaman also gave us kudos for increasing our readership scores every year since 2010. Back then, our readership score was 72 percent; today it is 80 percent. “To increase your readership by 8 percent in such a short time frame is truly remarkable and indicative that you are doing a very good job listening to your readers and giving them the content they want to read,” said Bingaman. These are impressive numbers, especially today when so many people falsely believe that nobody reads newspapers anymore. In fact, we know that they do, and are proud to be one of the best-read community papers in the country. I know this column may seem boastful and self-serving, and I suppose in some ways it is. But I want you to know how good it feels to head up a business whose industry report card is far above average. I am incredibly proud of my staff and want you to know that. I’m also very proud of our community, which consists of thousands of people just like you, who care so much about their neighbors and neighborhoods that they read their community paper every week. Not all communities are so engaged, and it is gratifying to produce newspapers that so many of you rely on to help our local organizations and businesses to thrive. These facts for The Laker/Lutz News that were unveiled by our audit are something our entire community can be proud of. After all, without the community supporting us through their readership and advertising dollars, there would not be a community newspaper in your driveway every Wednesday. The words “thank you” do not suffice to express our gratitude for your continued readership and support, but I hope you realize that our appreciation is heartfelt.

Easter dinner attracted many residents including, from left, Ken and Cheryl Leone, Del O’ Hara, Andy Gisondi, and Donna and Bill Quinn.
Busy week leading up to Easter By Helene Rubenstein Grand Horizons
On March 31, there was an open house at Betty Hatch’s home to honor Loris Weber’s return to Michigan. Loris is moving, and this open house gave the opportunity to several of her friends to see her before the big move.There was a lot of conversation and several pictures were taken. Our sincere thanks go out to Betty and the ones who helped her prepare this event.We also wish Loris the best in the future. On April 1, we had our weekly coffee and donuts, and Gary Wilcox filled in for Rich Fulton in giving the news of the week. He gave us the anniversaries that occurred in this time period, in addition to the birthdays. Gary also gave us the thought for the day that he does every week, but this one was so funny that it really made you laugh.We also heard from several others on new things that have been happening in our park. When the coffee and donuts were over, several of us played shuffleboard. It was changed to earlier on Mondays,Wednesdays and Fridays because of the heat. I guess it was a good idea, as we almost beat the hot and humid weather. On April 2, approximately 30 people were in the community center attending a social club meeting. Several things were discussed at this meeting, and if anyone had a question, this was the time to clarify it. We discussed old and new events. It was a relatively short meeting, but it told you most of the information that people were thinking and questioning. On April 4, Jim and Judi Leitzke, and all the helpers of the egg n’ bag event, put on a breakfast that we thoroughly enjoyed.All of the helpers included Ken and Cheryl Leone, Galen and Sue Parker, Clayton and Carol George, Doris Sutfin, Jane and Maurice Thayer, Fred and Sam Sage, and Colleen Crandall.We also wish to recognize Jim and Dora Mae Sinner for helping out in the past. Fred Sage did the prayer before the breakfast started, and he did a fine job. About 90 residents took advantage of this breakfast and had a meal that was delicious.As usual, there was much conversing going on and visiting residents that were at other tables.We always have a great time at both breakfasts (egg n’ bag and pancake),

and this was no exception. I did speak to Jim, and he mentioned that this was the last egg n’ bag of the season, and it will start up again in November with a dedication to all the veterans. On April 5, you were able to find approximately 90 residents and visitors in the community center for an Easter dinner that was put on by Del O’Hara, with Andy Gisondi, Bill Donlon, Bill and Donna Quinn, and Ken and Cheryl Leone as helpers. It was a potluck and different plates were brought in. Everything was delicious. It was a lovely affair, and Andy started off with grace before dinner. We thank all the helpers who did a fine job on presenting this dinner.

Cellphone donations aim to help kids The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report
When children are removed from their homes by the state of Florida because of neglect or abuse, they are assigned a Guardian ad Litem. Children who are wards of the state are unlikely to have cellphones, which can cast them into the role of being a social leper because they are unable to connect to their peers through texting, Facebook and other social media. That’s where a program called E C Call Home comes in. This program provides cellphones to children who have become guardians of the state. The Perfect 10 Charity created E C Call Home to give these kids the opportunity to stay connected with their peers through their cellphones. The charity is asking local groups, clubs, churches and charities to collect used cellphones or smartphones and chargers. The donated phones will be scrubbed clean of personal data by Computers Etc., in Dade City. The refurbished phones will be distributed by your local Guardian ad Litem to the children as needed.

Keeping health care training current The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report
The Florida Department of Health is making a push to remind health care practitioners to report continuing education/continuing medical education (CE/CME) requirements before renewing their licenses. By preparing for this new requirement, health care professionals can avoid renewal delays, the health department said in a news release. “The department continues to find ways to reduce regulatory burden so health care professionals can focus on providing patient care,” said Surgeon General and Secretary of Health Dr. John Armstrong.“Because the law now requires medical professionals to report their specific continuing education credits at the time of license renewal, the Florida Department of Health has provided
an online reporting system to make the transition as seamless as possible.” The CE/CME electronic tracking system, powered by CE Broker, records licensees’ credits and prompts completion before renewing a license. The system is designed to be convenient and to simplify the reporting process. Starting with license renewal cycles in 2015, health care practitioners must report continuing CE/CME course hours to renew their licenses, as required by the Florida Legislature.The first groups of health care practitioners to report include nutrition counselors, dietitians, nutritionists and registered respiratory therapists, certified respiratory therapists, and respiratory practitioners in both critical and noncritical care. Licensees in all professions have received information over the past two years explaining their upcoming requirements.

PHSC provides disabled students ‘Access to Success’ By Michael Murillo
“This gives them those accommodations to kind of level the playing field, to be as successful as their peers would be,” Brunet explained.The accommodations are specific to the disability, such as large-print course materials for the visually-impaired, an FM transmitter for the hearing-impaired, or a quiet environment and/or more time to take a test. But class and graduation requirements don’t change. Disabled students need to complete their coursework like anyone else.
The accommodations simply allow them to do so without their disability getting in the way of a diploma. Without those accommodations, or the required assessment testing that allows them, students with disabilities face a tougher challenge. And it’s one they might not be able to overcome. Access to Success has already helped a handful of students with their assessment testing, Brunet said, but there weren’t enough funds to help everybody.And unlike
high school, college students have to take a more hands-on approach to getting special accommodations.And while there are community programs to help with testing, if they don’t qualify for them and there are no funds available in the grant, they have to then find a way to pay for it. Or, they’ll have to do their best without them and hope it’s enough. One of the frustrating parts of her job, Brunet explained, is not being able to help everyone, knowing it can have an effect on their future. “It makes you wonder, what happens to that student? I wonder if they were able to get through that class or finish up,” she said. The Office of Disabilities Services hopes to make the 5K an annual event, and keep funds in the grant’s coffers.The college already has hundreds of students with disabilities on its rolls, and will add more as enrollment continues to grow. Brunet hopes the assessment testing assistance provided by Access to Success can have a positive impact on their academic career. “It can make the difference of them graduating, to be able to complete a class,” Brunet said.“It can make the ultimate difference in what their career path is going to be.” The Run, Walk, Roll 5K starts at 8 a.m., with a one-mile Fun Run starting at 8:45 a.m.The cost for the 5K race is $25, or $15 for PHSC students.The Fun Run cost is $15. Those who register by April 11 are guaranteed a race T-shirt and goodie bag. For more information, call (727) 816-3473.
As recently as mid-March, all five Zephyrhills’ council members, Mayor Gene Whitfield and City Manager Steve Spina headed to Tallahassee to lobby for four lanes as a priority for State Road 56. This followed a February town hall meeting where area residents, elected officials and business owners met with Burgess, Legg and Goldstein to plead for construction of four lanes, not the current two lanes being planned. Legg raised the possibility of state funds being repaid with a loan but didn’t think the state had a mechanism for such a transaction. Goldstein said he had some familiarity with the state bank, having explored its use for other county projects. He broached the subject at the meeting’s conclusion to Debbie Hunt, transportation development director for the Florida Department of Transportation. “She ran
with it,” he said. Since then the county has had ongoing discussions with developers and property owners whose land could bring thousands more homes as well as retail and industrial development to the area.Among the largest land tracts is the Two Rivers Ranch with about 3,500 acres. About half of the 6.7mile extension would cut through the ranch. “The county is not interested in putting a lot of money into this. It’s a state road,” Goldstein said.“There are a lot of other priorities. If there is a loan, we expect developers to pay it back. We might be a conduit.” Before the Pasco commission can sign off on anything, Goldstein said there are a lot of details that must be worked out including how much money would be needed, terms of the loan and, most impor-
tantly, who would be responsible for the payback. Spina applauded the new effort to find a solution. “I think it’s pretty inventive of them to come up with an idea like this to find the money,” he said. It makes more sense, Spina said, to do four lanes now and not wait five or more years when the project likely would be more costly. Proctor envisions a major economic boost to the area’s commercial development if the four-lane road is built. He has heard from business owners who would like to locate in Zephyrhills and surrounding areas and from owners who would consider expanding operations, if there was an improved road for getting in and out of the city. “I see nothing but positive,” Proctor said.

College students who are disabled often require special accommodations in order to get through their coursework in the pursuit of a degree. It seems like a given that they’d receive those accommodations. And they do, if they have the proper documentation. Normally that means assessment testing from a specialist in the field of their disability, which can be an expensive process. “It’s very rarely covered by insurance. It’s a big chunk of change for students going to school,” said Sarah Brunet, assistant coordinator of disability services at Pasco-Hernando State College.That chunk of change can run several hundreds or even thousands of dollars. That’s why PHSC established Access to Success, a grant program that provides assistance to students with disabilities who have trouble paying for their assessment testing, which is required under the Americans With Disabilities Act.And with a growing disabled student population, the department is trying a new fundraiser to provide resources for that grant. Their Run, Walk, Roll 5K will take place April 26 at the college’s Porter Campus, 2727 Mansfield Blvd., in Wesley Chapel. They’re hoping for 100 participants in its first year, and the money raised will make a big difference to disabled students trying to further their college career.
SR 56, from page 1A project, money is an issue because land from adjacent landowners must be purchased for right-of-way. If the state paid for four lanes, state highway officials said some other project on Pasco’s list likely would not get done. The low-interest loan could be a way to avoid that scenario, but the effort to secure a loan faces hurdles including buy-in from the county and state, as well as from property owners and developers along the planned extension. “This cannot get done unless the state, the county and the private sector come together for the benefit of our East Pasco county residents,” stated Legg in the press release. The city of Zephyrhills is pressing its case.

RACETRACKS, from page 1A Not every neighbor is happy with the outcome. Karol Klein brought a petition with 150 signatures of people asking commissioners to deny the permit. He said about 40 of those people lived in proximity to the Reed's property. Daniel Cox, the attorney for Klein and his wife, told commissioners the tracks are not compatible with the “little gentleman
farms” within the rural setting. Duck Lake Canal resident Ken Keith is among those who opposed the permit.“He (Reed) just comes there to cause a loud disturbance with his motorcycles,” he said. But Darwin Croft said he lives within 800 feet of the Reeds and has no problem with the couple. A property owner should be able to do most anything he wants on his property, Croft said. “If I stop and think about motorcycles…I can hear them,” he said.“It’s not an obnoxious sound. It’s motorcycles.”

Rodriguez pitches into PHSC’s record books By Michael Murillo mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com
Pasco-Hernando State College pitcher Danny Rodriguez now has the most wins in school history after pitching PHSC’s first nohitter last year. The pitcher is excited to talk about some big accomplishments. “It was the best thing I’ve ever experienced in baseball,” Rodriguez said. But he’s not describing his personal accomplishments, such as the no-hitter or setting the school wins record. He’s talking about a team accomplishment:The school’s trip to the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II World Series last year, where they finished fourth in the nation. Rodriguez is known as a team player, so that’s his focus. But when asked about his own personal records, he’s more subdued. “It’s nice. It doesn’t concern me as much as winning regionals and getting to the World Series,” he said. While setting the record isn’t that big of a deal to Rodriguez, the Conquistadors have used those victories to full advantage, reaching a spot in last year’s World Series during his 10-win season. His current 8-2 record also has helped the team to qualify for their regional tournament next month. Steve Winterling, who coaches Rodriguez, said the pitcher doesn’t rely on just one kind of pitch to get out of tough situations. “Anybody can throw a fastball, but you’ve got to have the other pitches,” Winterling said. “He has those, and he throws them with confidence.” That confidence didn’t come from his senior season in high school. He was a middle infielder and had just one pitching start, with 10 innings of work, in his final year at Steinbrenner High School. Though he had pitched more the year before, and got in more work with his travel ball team, Rodriguez never took pitching lessons. Instead, he would teach himself pitches, going over them until they felt right. He

learned his curveball when he was young and added the slider in high school. He just got his change-up working last year. That steady progress has made him a versatile weapon for Winterling, and one he used in different situations last year. He became a regular starter about halfway through that season, yet still racked
up 10 victories and developed a reputation for being calm and collected on the mound. “I never really stress about the outcome. I just try to do my thing each pitch and with each batter,” Rodriguez said. While he’s serene on the baseball field, he admits that’s not always the case when he’s off it.

He’s more of an animated guy, and lets his enthusiasm show. On the pitching mound, though, he displays a calm presence, and doesn’t let the pressure of a tough situation rattle him. “I like being in control and taking the pressure,” he said. Other schools are taking notice of his control as well. Rodriguez will have plenty of opportunities to continue his collegiate baseball career, and is already fielding offers from schools both in and out of Florida. He hasn’t made a decision yet, but said that the University of West Florida in Pensacola is a front-runner. Beyond, there’s the possibility of a professional career. If Rodriguez keeps the momentum going through his senior season, his numbers will be tough for scouts to ignore, Winterling said. It wouldn’t be much of a risk for a team to take a chance on a proven winner. “The guy throws strikes and gets outs. What more can you ask for?” Winterling said. Rodriguez said he’d try his hand at professional baseball “in a heartbeat,” but he’s not counting on that career path. He’s studying business, and wants to make sure he has a useful degree to continue his winning ways, even if it’s not with a baseball in his hand. For now, Rodriguez is focused on finishing the season strong and winning the regional tournament to take another crack at World Series play. The team has fixed some of its weaknesses from last year and should be able to compete in the postseason, he said. “As a team, we have more pitching, and defensively we’re better,” he said.“That’s really the two that we needed.” While the coach also puts team goals over individual ones, he’s glad to see the school’s win record go to a deserving player like Rodriguez. “He’s a team guy,” Winterling said. “You can’t ask for a better person to be a rep (for the team) on the baseball field.”

Chillin’ with some old time music The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report
I
FRED BELLET/PHOTOS
Fifty-three year old John Shannon, of Arcadia, played ‘I’ll Fly Away’ and ‘Old Folks Music-Suwanee River’ amidst a web of microphones on the front porch of the Overstreet House at the Florida Pioneer Museum & Village. The porch of the home built in the 1860s was an appropriate setting for the festival’s stage.
Although registered to sing in the men’s vocal competition, Steve McClure, of Tampa, was ready to sit in with any musician who wanted accompaniment at the Old Time Music Competition.
f you enjoy music, especially the old-fashioned kind, the Florida Old Time Music Championship at the Florida Pioneer Museum & Village in Dade City was the place to be last week. About 200 people turned out for the annual competition, which features the kind of music that would have been played during Florida’s early days. Old time music is a genre of North American folk music that contains elements from the European countries from which the settlers came. The music is created with such instruments as the fiddle, guitar and banjo.
Jeff Miller, right, of Hudson warms up before he, Ed Yelle of Brooksville and 92-year old Harold Thomas take the stage at the Florida Old Time Music Championship. The festival was at the Florida Pioneer Museum & Village in Dade City.
Waiting to go on stage was Dade City’s own, 92-year-old Harold Thomas, on the right. Along with Thomas are Linda Yelle, seated on the bench, and in the back standing are Jeff Miller, of Hudson, and Ed Yelle, of Brooksville.
The staircase of the 1860s Overstreet House frames Don Polly, of Tavares, who played his rendition of ‘Danny Boy’ and the William Tell Overture on his harmonica. Polly, 77, has been playing harmonica since he was 8. Prize ribbons were nearby for the first night of the competition. Judges for the festival were handpicked.
The Overstreet House was the appropriate stage for the first night of the Old Time Music Championship at the Pioneer Florida Museum and Village in Dade City.

Look twice when visiting Lettuce Lake Park Helena Dolk Tucker, of Lutz, took these photos at Lettuce Lake Park, off Fletcher Avenue in Tampa. Tucker said it’s an interesting place to visit, with lots of wildlife and vegetation, and even if you are looking at twisted tree limbs, it may be a while before you realize that what looks like an old tire is actually an alligator. The white ibis usually stands out among the trees.
