“Bayfront Health saved my heart.

And my life.”

The culmination of donations over eight months was quite a sight at Saint Leo University recently.

Dozens of students, faculty and staff gathered on April 18 at the university’s northeast campus parking lot to witness 14 pallets — containing 8,000 pounds of plastic bottle caps — being loaded onto a 53-foot trailer, and sent to Bluegrass Recycling in Kentucky.

This school year, the university collaborated with Caps of Love, a Florida-based, nonprofit organization that recycles three See CAPS, page 11A

Epperson Ranch coming soon

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Developers at Epperson Ranch anticipate a construction start in May on the “Crystal Lagoon” that will be a showpiece for their master-planned community, and the first of its kind in North America.

Model homes at Epperson could be under construction by summer.

Home prices will start in the mid$200,000 range.

Metro Development Group is finalizing the permit process before digging dirt on a 7-acre manmade lagoon.

The water body is designed with patented technology by Crystal Lagoons Inc., and the lagoon will be filled with about 16 million gallons of crystal blue water.

Construction could take a year.

The Epperson Ranch project is also the site for another first for Pasco with plans for creating a “Connected City” corridor with ultrafast Internet connections.

The project is a state-approved, 10-year pilot program that envisions state-of-the-art

technology embedded in the design of residential and commercial development in a 7,800-acre special district.The district’s borders are Interstate 75, State Road 52, Curley and Overpass roads in east central Pasco.

Metro Development Group and Crystal Lagoons are partnering on the creation of several Crystal Lagoons’ communities, including a second location in Pasco, and in Fort Myers.

Pasco’s growth boom and the availability of such a large swath of vacant land were motivators for the companies’ partnership, according to an email from Greg Singleton, president of Metro Development.

“Our hope is that we are one part of a collective group of planners, thinkers, educators and others who see Pasco County as a destination for more jobs, top schools, premier shopping, dining and entertainment,” the email states.

Biochemist and real estate developer Fernando Fischmann created and built the first Crystal Lagoon at San Alfonso del Mar in Chile in 2006.

According to the company’s website, the lagoons are eco-friendly and need to be filled with water only once. They use 100 See LAGOON, page 11A

Celebrating health care services in Lacoochee

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

The Lacoochee Family Health Center, a Premier Community Healthcare Group satellite location, hosted an open house on April 20 to celebrate the location’s first anniversary.

The event was at the Stanley Park Lacoochee Community Center in Dade City.

The center served nearly 400 patients during 2015, according to a news release.

The Lacoochee health center opened in response to a need expressed by the community, said Cheryl Pollock, director of business development for Premier.

Premier is dedicated to providing high quality, affordable, accessible medical care to Medicaid/Medicare recipients, uninsured and underserved communities of Pasco County.

Premier provides a full range of comprehensive primary care medical services that include family medicine, pediatrics, dental, be-

havioral health, obstetrics and gynecology.

The center in Lacoochee was opened in response to the community’s request for more accessible health care, Pollock said. Most of its patients walk to Cheryl Pollock the clinic.

It provides a wide range of services, and it can provide bus passes to help people who need to go to other locations for services it doesn’t provide, Pollock said.

The center in Lacoochee is not funded with grant money, so its operations must be paid for through fundraising efforts, she added.

Statistics for the first year of operations show that 47 percent of patients were on Medicaid, 31 percent were uninsured or opted to self-pay, 12 percent were classified with private insurance, 6 percent were on

Medicare, and 4 percent were classified as “other.”

Of those served, 24 percent were under age 17, and the rest were adults.

Also, 37 percent of all patients received services through same-day appointments.

The 600-square-foot clinic is staffed by a nurse, a provider and a clerical worker, Pollock said.

The equipment and furnishings were provided by the Florida Medical Clinic Foundation.The clinic space is also provided for free, through a coalition of community organizations.

The anniversary celebration was held to help draw attention to the center and to encourage more people to take advantage of the availability of primary health care services in the area.

Those attending had a chance to pick up information about health care services and enjoy some refreshments.

Premier Community Healthcare has eight offices throughout Pasco County.

Good food is always a reason to get together

By Helene Rubenstein Grand Horizons

As previously mentioned in the past write-ups, Grand Horizons has lunch connoisseurs on the second Friday of every month. This was first started several years back by Fred and Sam Sage and still continues to this day. On April 8, approximately 40 people met at Beef O’ Brady’s and had a fantastic lunch. All the people that attended had a terrific time, and the service was extraordinarily good. The menu was quite extensive and varied, and everything came out perfectly. The waitresses were so nice that they offered to take a picture of the entire group.The hosts for this luncheon were Tom and Laurie Carter, and Andy Gisondi and Del O’Hara. They did a fine job in arranging this luncheon, and our sincere thanks go out to them.

On April 13, there was a taco bowl dinner in the community center. While the hosts were Andy and Margaret Castonguay, they had help which included Ron and Joyce Bell, Linda Rogers, and Fred and Pat Mengel. Once again, they all had specific jobs to do, and it was done to perfection.The meal consisted of the meat in a taco shell with condiments such as sour cream, olives, onion, diced tomatoes, cheese, lettuce and salsa. The condiments were added by each person according to their tastes. For dessert, they had Bundt cakes in either chocolate or lemon.

Approximately 90 people showed up at our community center for a pancake breakfast on April 16. Before tables were called to receive their breakfast, Jim Sinner said a blessing.The breakfast, which consisted of blueberry pancakes, regular pancakes, sausage and French toast, was yummy and a nice change from previous pancake breakfasts. There were syrups placed on each table. Because this was the last one of the season, there was a huge gathering. Rosie Semian was the hostess,with several helpers.The helpers were Colleen Crandall, Tom Carter, Mary Heim, Dave Heim, Chuck Carlson, Linda Rogers and Diane Taggart. Since they worked on this breakfast before, everyone knew exactly what to do and it ran along smoothly.

Making music under the stars

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Pine View Middle School is continuing its tradition of bringing the musical arts to the community of Land O’ Lakes, with its eighth annual “Night Under the Stars” music festival.

The school uses the event to showcase its various music programs, to give local performers a musical venue, and to raise money for needed instruments and uniforms.

Pine View Middle Music Director Amarilys Barbosa said the event comes at a crucial time in the school’s history.

“Our school is going through a change,” Barbosa said.

Pine View Middle has begun a quest to become the first school in Pasco County to offer a Middle Years Programme, under the auspices of the International Baccalaureate Organization.

As a result, more students have enrolled in the school’s music programs, creating a shortage of instruments.

When the band puts on a concert, there’s a good chance it will be borrowing some of the instruments.

The school also could use some more band uniforms.

The upcoming benefit will help address some of those needs, but that’s not the only reason the school puts it on, Barbosa said.

“We could do many different types of fundraisers, and we could be successful.We chose to do this because there is a huge support for the arts in our community, and we want to continue to foster that and get

Even though the primary election isn’t until Aug. 30, Pasco County Supervisor of Elections Brian Corley is reminding voters to be sure they are ready to vote.

Florida has a closed primary system, so voters must be sure they are registered in the

also must reflect your current address to avoid running into paperwork problems or the possibility of not being able to get to your proper polling place on time to vote, he said.

Voters should remember there are three ways to vote, Corley said.They can request a vote by mail ballot, they can vote early or they can vote on election day.

Also, the list of acceptable forms of identification was expanded during the most recent session of the Legislature, Corley said. The

House and Senate unanimously approved legislation sponsored by Rep. Danny Burgess, of Zephyrhills, and State Sen. John Legg, of Lutz, that expanded the acceptable forms of ID to include a Florida concealed weapon or firearm license, a Veteran Health Identification Card issued by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and an employee identification card issued by any part of the federal, state, county or municipal government.

If you wish to vote by mail, contact your local supervisor of elections office.

WHERE: Land O’ Lakes Community Center, 5401 Land O’ Lakes Blvd., Land O’ Lakes WHEN: April 30, 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.

WHAT: Performances by Pine View Middle School’s bands, drumline, color guard and choruses, plus appearances by local musical acts. There also will be a silent auction, food available for purchase and a kids’ zone.

COST: Parking and admission are free.

everyone involved,” she said.

The school has a beginning band, intermediate band and advanced band. It also has a chorus, a show choir, a jazz band, a percussion ensemble, a drumline and a color guard.

All of those groups will be performing at the event, which is slated for April 30, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., at the Land O’ Lakes Community Center, 5401 Land O’ Lakes Blvd., in Land O’ Lakes.

Other local groups will be performing, too, Barbosa said.

“It’s not just to showcase us. It’s also to give an opportunity to the local bands to kind of get their name out,” she said. The three acts that will be performing that night are Crossing The Tangent, Eden Shireen and Beyond Chaotic.

“We’re really excited to have them.

They’re going to be playing throughout the evening, at 6, 7 and 8 o’clock.They’re going to be the headliners,” Barbosa said.

Parking and admission are free, and food

will be available for purchase.There’s also going to be a kids’ zone, which requires a $5 band for entry.The zone will feature bounce houses, slides, an obstacle course and outdoor laser tag.

Additionally, there will be door prizes, and people will be able to make bids on silent auction baskets.

There are about 30 auction baskets, said a volunteer Sue Castellano, who has organized the gift basket effort.“The students and the business community have donated all of the items in the baskets.

“She (Castellano) is my basket queen,”

Barbosa said, obviously grateful for Castellano’s efforts.

Those attending will be able to bid on baskets of wide-ranging themes.

There’s a perfume basket, valued at around $250, and there are baskets with sports memorabilia.There’s a grill that people can bid on, too.

“We have something for girls. We have something for boys.We have a family adventure night out. We have a cat basket. We have a dog basket.We even have a baby basket,” Castellano said.

The value of the baskets ranges from around $50 to more than $500, she said.

Besides being a great way to raise money, it also gives the school a chance to show parents what it has to offer.

“If you have young parents that may come out, maybe they have children in elementary school that are starting to move up — it’s going to show them the different types of instruments, the different type of music that’s played and what their children will be able to learn,” Castellano said.

Even if they can’t make it to the event, there are other ways to help, Barbosa said.

The school still needs more instruments.

Musicians or former musicians who have instruments to spare are encouraged to donate them to the school, the musical director said. The school needs clarinets, flutes and trumpets.

If the program receives donations of smaller instruments, it can focus on purchasing larger instruments, Barbosa said.

“We’re hoping to be able to buy a couple of more tubas,” she said.

It’s also essential to be sure you are registered and that your registration has the proper address, Corley said.

Many voters who have been inactive for years may not realize that their names are removed from the list, when they have not been active, Corley said. Your registration

COURTESY OF PATRICIA SERIO

Helping the homeless population Members of the GFWC Lutz-Land O’ Lakes Woman’s recently delivered a van full of handcrocheted bedrolls, donated clothing, shoes and duffel bags for clients of The Well, which serves the area’s needy and homeless population with a food pantry, clothing closet, shower facilities, hot meals, socialization areas, an organic garden and an “in progress” fish farm. Longtime club member, Aniko Solomonson has made it her personal mission to encourage 100 fellow members to collect, fold, tie and crochet recycled plastic grocery bags into weather resistant full-length bedrolls for the homeless. She herself has produced and delivered numerous bedrolls, which have been very useful to the homeless population, and has expanded the project to teach her method to community organizations and church groups. Solomonson also has received inquiries from places as distant as Canada and South America. Holding some of the bedrolls are Solomonson and a gentleman that helps at The Well.

ticipate in the philanthropy project, satisfying its ‘community’ core value, said Heidi D’ Ambrosio, senior coordinator for Residence Life.

“We’d have competitions at the (residence) halls of who could collect the most caps,” D’ Ambrosio said.“We’d have sorting events, and we’d spend hours sorting them, because they have to be in three different grades.”

The three grades of plastic caps they recycled were polypropylene No. 5, and polyethylene No. 2 and No. 4 plastic caps, which are valuable in bulk.

“The most important thing is getting the three different grades collected correctly,” Mathieu said. “All three grades have about the same value and are sold by the pound, but when they’re mixed together, they have no value.”

With over 14 collection sites throughout the Saint Leo campus, the program quickly spread through word of mouth, as Greek Life organizations and student affairs staff members got involved.

“It (became) a constant thing that when you have a bottle cap, you put it in the basket,” said Ashley Montas, a freshman criminal justice major.“It’s pretty easy.”

Ryliegh D’Ambrosio, a freshman psychology major, said the program helped unite the university.

“I feel that it brought sororities and (other) departments all together on campus for a good cause,” she said.“I didn’t realize how many (caps) it was until we finished.”

Community service hours were calculated based on the number of caps brought in.

For example, if a student brought in 100 caps, they were rewarded with one service hour, and if they brought in 200 caps, they received two service hours.

“We’d like to continue this because we have so many people now that want to get involved with it,” D’Ambrosio said.

grades of plastic caps and lids that are sold to the Kentucky-based recycling company.

All proceeds from the recycling are used to purchase new and refurbished wheelchairs that are donated to children in the United States with mobility disabilities.

Since 2014, Caps of Love has provided 32 wheelchairs to people under the age of 21, that are in need.

The charitable organization was founded over nine years ago by Valerie Mathieu of West Palm Beach, and it received its 501 (c) (3) status about four years ago.

After learning about a similar charity overseas, Mathieu figured she’d bring the program to the U.S. She was impressed by both its environmental and humanitarian components.

“It’s primarily an environmental charity and educating children on how to recycle properly—how to identify what is recyclable,” Mathieu said.“Our country is not really good at recycling, so this is an easy way to learn how to recycle and identify the different grades of plastic. ...At the same time, we have the humanitarian side where we’re providing wheelchairs for handicapped children in the U.S.” With many wheelchairs ranging from $5,000 to well over $22,000, the expense is often a financial burden for families with special needs children, Mathieu said.

“Insurance gives them a basic wheelchair, and they only receive wheelchairs every couple of years, so they outgrow it, and it’s up to the parents to just purchase a new one,” Mathieu said, noting her organization will soon give out 70 more wheelchairs. ”We also have a lot of families in this country that do not have insurance, and their children do not get wheelchairs, so that’s where we come in,” Mathieu said.

Coach ‘excited’ for next season, despite obstacles

By Kevin Weiss

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

Zephyrhills High first-year football coach Nick Carroll took over a program in turmoil when he was hired nearly three months ago.

He took the job in February amidst a report of an on-campus sex scandal implicating some of the team’s players, and was dealt another blow last month when news broke that its top offensive player had torn his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament during) during a football camp.

Running back Antwione Sims, who is set to begin his senior year, ran for a schoolrecord 2,093 yards and 24 touchdowns last season. But, he will likely miss a significant portion of the 2016 season.

The 5-foot-11, 196-pound Sims—a Rivals.com two-star recruit with multiple college scholarship offers—accounted for nearly 57 percent of the Bulldog’s total offense last season.

“He’s taking care of it,” Carroll said in regards to Sims’ injury. “He’s going to get on the field as fast as he can. I know he’s very, very motivated.”

After losing one of the top skill players in Pasco County, Carroll is more focused on the players who are healthy, as he prepares his squad for the upcoming season.

“We’re going to pick up the pieces and find other playmakers,” said Carroll, who replaced veteran Bulldogs’ coach Reginald Roberts.“I got faith in the kids that are here.

They want this opportunity just like any other kid does, and I think we’re going to be okay.”

What he lacks in size, he more than makes up in speed—evident by his track results this spring.

Competing in the Sunshine Athletic Conference East track meet, the sophomore sprinter placed third in the 100-meter dash (11.26 seconds) and fourth in the 200 meters (23.81).

Land O’ Lakes baseball’s memorable season ends

By Kevin Weiss

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

It was a case of too little, too late.

The Land O’ Lakes Gators’ baseball team’s memorable season came to an end on April 19, after an upset loss to the Zephyrhills Bulldogs in the Class 6A, District 7 semifinals at Pasco High.

The score was 3-2.

The Gators entered the game with a 204 record and an unblemished 10-0 mark in district play, before falling to a Bulldogs team that hadn’t won a district game in nine years.

However, the Gators didn’t have much of an answer when matched up against Zephyrhills senior right-hander Riley McClellan (2.49 ERA), who held the Gators to four hits in the game. McClellan did not allow a run until the seventh inning, when Land O’ Lakes junior outfielder Brayden Lyman hit a two-run home run. But, it was

not enough to overcome the Bulldogs, who amassed eight hits and three runs against Land O’ Lakes senior righty and High Point (North Carolina) University signee Kirby Osborn.

Despite an impressive overall record, the Gators were somewhat reeling down the stretch of the regular season with non-district losses to Sunlake High (2-0) on April 8 and Fivay High (4-3) on April 12.

Armed with two of Pasco County’s best pitchers in Osborn (0.84 ERA, 76 strikeouts) and junior right-hander McCabe Sargent (0.48 ERA, 55 strikeouts), the Gators had their eyes set on a deep playoff run, with state championship aspirations.

“We had something a lot of teams didn’t have—two really good pitchers,” Gators coach Jeff May said.“Pitching was definitely our backbone. It wasn’t because of our hitting.”

With a team .273 batting average that lacked power hitters—Land O’ Lakes hit

two home runs all season— the Gators often would get just enough hits to win a ballgame.

Though the Gators had a .83 win percentage, several of the team’s victories were by small margins. Of the team’s 20 wins, seven of them were by two runs or fewer.

The Steinbrenner High baseball team defeated Plant High 9-7 in the Class 8A, District 5 baseball championship game on April 20.

Junior twoway player (starting pitcher, shortstop) CJ Van Eyk has helped pace the Warriors this season.Through 63 innings pitched, 6-foot-1, 190-pound righty is sporting a 1.00 ERA with 95 strikeouts. At the plate, Van Eyk is batting .344 and leads the team in hits (31).

ZEPHYRHILLS HIGH BASKETBALL COACH RETIRES

CARROLLWOOD DAY SCHOOL DEBUTS NEW GYMNASIUM

The Land O’ Lakes Gators figure to be one of the more senior-laden teams in the area next season, with more than a dozen seniors expected to be on the 2017 varsity roster.

May acknowledged a lot of those games “really could’ve gone either way in the end.”

Oftentimes, the Gators struggled to put runs on the board, placing additional pressure on the pitching staff.They scored three runs or fewer in 10 games, including the loss to Zephyrhills—a team they had beaten twice this season.

“That’s been our problem all season, and it came back to bite us,” May said about the team’s dearth of offense throughout the season.

Their season ends on a sour note, and short of their lofty postseason expectations, but the Gators expect to be one of Pasco’s better teams in 2017.

They will lose productive seniors in Osborn, catcher Jake Weber and outfielder Austin Forest, but much of the team’s key pieces return, including Sargent, shortstop Max Law (.389, six doubles, 14 RBIs) and second baseman Dustin Harris (.354, 21 runs scored). Pitcher Troy Klemm (1.81 ERA in 27 innings pitched), a lanky 6-foot-5 right-hander, also figures to emerge as the No. 2 pitcher after Sargent next season.

The Gators certainly won’t lack experience, as the roster is expected to feature more than a dozen seniors in 2017.

STEINBRENNER BASEBALL CROWNED DISTRICT CHAMPS

THIS OUT

After four stints as the Zephyrhills Bulldogs’ head basketball coach,Alan Reed, 68, is calling it quits. Reed started coaching at Zephyrhills in 1975, and had three more stints (1981-1986, 2006-2010 and 20152016) with the school in between.This past season, Reed guided the Bulldogs to their first district title since 1998. The Bulldogs (27-5) reached the Class 5A state semifinals, before losing to eventual state champion Poinciana High 70-52 on Feb. 25.

There’s always next year:

Whomever starts at quarterback will also have to build a rapport with some new pass-catching threats with the impeding graduation of Jackie Tucker, who was last year’s leading wideout (24 receptions for 477 yards and 9 touchdowns).

Carroll said receivers Ja’quan Sheppard and Tre’pavis Mobley, who will be sophomores, have stood out thus far in offseason workouts.Those workouts have consisted of extensive weightlifting, speed and agility training, and route running drills.

“There’s some young kids that are really doing well against the air this spring, and we’re excited,” the head coach said. “We have been putting our time in and watching kids work on the field in regards to how competitive they are and seeing (them) compete against one another.”

Another receiving option that may figure into the equation is rising senior Darius Causey, who didn’t get playing time last year.

“He’s working hard in the weight room,” Carroll said. “He’s 6-foot-2 or 6-foot-3, and we’re looking at him to make some plays as well.”

Despite the injury to his top player and being tasked with trying to build trust as a new coach, Carroll has been very satisfied with what he’s seen from the roster since taking over the program.

“I’ve been really happy with how the kids have come together and the work they’ve put in as a team,” he said.“They’ve gotten a lot stronger. They are coming together as one.

“Now, we’re just excited for the opportunity to put it on the field and get things rolling,” Carroll said.

The event, presented by Craig and Andrea Laporte and other sponsors, gave families a chance to have fun at the Fraternal Order of Police Pasco Lodge 29 property, at 21735 YMCA Camp Road in Land O’ Lakes.

The event is a day set aside to express gratitude for the law enforcement community and their families.

There were plenty of opportunities for fun.

There were pony rides, barbecued foods and a K-9 demonstration. Kids and adults could get up close to reptiles, and check out a SWAT vehicle and law enforcement helicopter. They could build a birdhouse, too.

The event also honored Tom Dobies of Dobies Funeral Home, who has supported the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office’s endeavors through generous contributions, including the donation of K-9 dogs and the cost for training them.

Besides providing a free event for the law enforcement community, any extra funds remaining after expenses are donated to sheriff, to be used for the Fallen Officer Fund.

Dobies also has contributed generously to that fund.

Mike Sentner, 33, and Anthony Hallaian, 46 manned the SWAT station. They showed off some of the tools used and gave tours of the vehicle, too.

Exceptional Heart Care

A heart attack is one of the most deadly types of cardiac events. It occurs when the blood supply to the heart is blocked for a prolonged period of time. The best treatment is having a percutaneous coronary intervention within 90 minutes of first receiving care from emergency medical personnel. So it’s important to get to the closest hospital specializing in heart care as fast as possible.

St. Joseph’s Hospital-North has a specially trained team on hand, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to treat patients having a heart attack. Our experienced cardiac and interventional team takes care of all your heart care needs, from diagnosis to surgery to rehabilitation.

For a referral to a cardiologist: (813) 644-4370 | StJosephsNorth.org
