Panhandling off-limits in Pasco By Kathy Steele
Commissioners were unmoved, and on April 26 unanimously approved the total ban. The ordinance is similar to ones in Hillsborough County and the City of St. Petersburg. It bans “soliciting or attempts to solicit employment, business, contributions, donations, or sales or exchanges, of any kind from the driver or an occupant of a motor vehicle, or distributing or attempting to distribute any goods or materials to the driver or an occupant” of the motor vehicle. Data presented to commissioners reported 173 pedestrian-related crashes in 2015,

“Bayfront Health saved my heart. And my life.”
Pasco County commissioners have approved a ban aimed at preventing street-corner panhandling in the county. That action came despite pleas from those who had been selling newspapers in the county on Sundays. By adopting a total ban, the county would cost workers’ wages and jobs, opponents said. “I’m begging you, please understand you are affecting so many people,” said Renee Contreras, who oversees workers who sell newspapers on Sundays in the Wesley Chapel area.

Fallen officers honored at memorial service By Kevin Weiss
kweiss@lakerlutznews.com
Dozens of citizens, along with well over a hundred Pasco County law enforcement officers, joined together at the Historic Dade City Courthouse to honor fallen officers — both past and present. Fallen officers, both locally and nationally, were honored during a 90-minute ceremony at the annual Law Enforcement Memorial Service on April 29. During the solemn occasion, several speakers — including Lt. Gov. Carlos LopezCantera — discussed the importance of law enforcement, commemorating those that have fallen, and those who presently serve the community. Lopez-Cantera highlighted the state’s 2015 crime rate dip, saying,“We talk about how great it is to live in Florida and we talk

about how many people are moving to our state, but don’t think for one second that we don’t always remember and recognize that we would not have these communities, these businesses moving to Florida if we did not have a 44-year low in our crime rate. “We do not forget that these men and woman protect our families, protect our business and even protect those that level meritless criticism against them,” Lopez-
Cantera added.“We say,‘thank you’ to those that have served, currently serve and their families.” Dade City Police Chief Ray Velboom told the crowd he hopes “some year we could come to these services to remember those that have only lost their lives in the line of duty in the past, and we would have no new See MEMORIAL, page 11A
Cleaning up Zephyrhills’ neighborhoods By Kevin Weiss
kweiss@lakerlutznews.com
When Gail Hamilton was hired to lead the Zephyrhills Community Redevelopment Agency about a year ago, she noticed an unsettling trend while patrolling the older, traditional city neighborhoods. Scattered across several homeowners’ lawns were old appliances, rolled-up carpets, debris and fallen trees. “I think nobody had done anything in a long time,” Hamilton said, regarding the condition of the historic Zephyrhills neighborhoods. “The first thing when you start redeveloping an area is you look to clean it up,” she added. To do so, Hamilton collaborated with several other city departments — Code Enforcement, Public Works, Police and Fire Departments—to create a so-called “Clean Team.” The “Clean Team” organizes neighbor-

hood cleanups every other month, pinpointing a different geographical area within the city limits for each event. The program offers an opportunity for city residents to get rid of unwanted junk, with public works crews and community
volunteers lending a helping hand. “We go in there...and clean up anything people can get out into their alley or curbside, because we don’t go onto private property and pick anything up,” said Shane LeBlanc, Zephyrhills Public Works director. “A lot of people will have roll-off construction dumpsters outside.A lot of people drop stuff off to us.” “You can get rid of your junk, and you don’t even have to bring it to the site,” Hamilton said. “We have crews that are going up and down the alleyway within the area that we’re cleaning, and if you can just get it to the alley, we’ll pick it up. So for people that don’t have a truck or the means to get it to us, we’re trying to help them as much as we possibly can, so there’s no excuse that you don’t clean up your property.” The third neighborhood cleanup, on Feb. 27, was labeled as the “most successful” yet, according to Hamilton.The cleanup encomSee CLEANING, page 11A

Papal honors bestowed during special ceremony By B.C. Manion
bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com
The pastors of Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church in Land O’ Lakes and Saint Peter the Apostle Church in Trinity have received honors bestowed by Pope Francis. The Rev. Ron Aubin and the Rev. Dennis Hughes now have an additional title, besides pastor and father — they now also bear the title of monsignor, a designation that is bestowed on those who have been named a Chaplain of His Holiness. The Most Rev. Robert Lynch, Bishop of the Diocese of St. Petersburg, nominated the men for the honor, which was officially conferred during a special ceremony on April 17 at the diocese’s Bethany Center in Lutz. The evening also included the award of the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice medal to 14 recipients. One person also received the Benemerenti Medal. To be nominated to be designated as a monsignor, one must be at least 65 years old,Aubin said. It’s typically a recognition for efforts made over a lifetime of ministry, said Aubin, who said he grew up in Catholic family, attending Catholic schools and felt called early on to be a priest. He was surprised when he got the call from the bishop, informing him he was being nominated for the honor. “It’s nice to be recognized,” Aubin said, adding that he thinks the older parishioners at Our Lady of the Rosary were more excited than he was by the honor. While he is grateful to Bishop Lynch and Pope Francis for the designation, he said,“As far as I’m concerned, there’s no better title

than Father.” Aubin also noted:“when the kids started calling me Papa Ron, that was the best honorific.” “I’m just a pastor.That’s all I am. It’s all I wanted to be,”Aubin said. The Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice Medal, considered the highest honor which the church awards to its lay and religious members, is granted by the Pope following the nomination of a bishop, who provides a case statement regarding the nominee’s worthiness for the designation. Including those designated during the ceremony, only 62 men and women in the diocese of St. Petersburg have received this distinction in the past 20 years. Local recipients of Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice Medal were: Gerald Phillip Giglia, of St. Timothy Church in Lutz and, Arthur Francis Kirk, former president of Saint Leo University, of St. Leo Abbey/St. Rita Catholic Church, Dade City.
You’re invited to the MAY IS BETTER HEARING MONTH
On April 15, Sandy and Al Lindke put together a gathering for neighbors of Grand Horizons, and 32 people attended. I couldn’t attend, and heard from Sandy that the weather was questionable so she prepared her house for everyone. But, it turned out to be lovely, so it was held outside. Everyone had a lovely time. They had Italian sausage with several salads and lots of desserts. Sandy and Al provided the Italian sausage, and everyone else brought a dish. This was a nice get-together to say “goodbye” to the many snowbirds that were leaving. The following day, 26 more people showed up at JD and Sharon Blair’s home.This was a block party, and we all had lots of fun. There was much conversation, and one such discussion was reminiscing about old TV shows. The block party was put on by Sharon and JD Blair, and also RoxAnne Lamphere, who arranged the entire outing. There was so much food, as everyone was asked to bring their specialty.
Therefore, we had many dishes.There were ham and roast beef sandwiches, cherry salad, Watergate salad, desserts including sugar cookies, lemon cream cheese brownies, and many different kinds of soda.Also on the menu, we had lumpia, which is a popular Filipino dish. It was so very tasty and different. We left this block party knowing that we had a great time. On April 19, several women met at the community center for a lively game of Bunco. This is a dice game and loads of fun. It was started by JoAnn Fisher a short time ago, and it proves to be a success. Since people are still learning the game, only seven women showed up, but a dummy was put in the eighth chair (as the game is played in groups of four). Not only did we have a good time, but the dummy added to the attraction.All types of remarks were made to this dummy (called several different names) during the two hours that we were there. In closing, this is a cute game, plus it is easily learned.The game will continue on, but I’ll satisfy myself by looking forward to it when we return from the North.

Enjoying a free concert with mom On the Cheap By Michael Murillo vivamurillo@hotmail.com
M
other’s Day is coming up. That probably means flowers and a card for your mom, your spouse or someone you know who is a mom. And that sounds like a nice way to recognize them: Flowers and a card. Not very creative, of course. Maybe a little boring when you think about it. But nice, I guess. The question is, do you want to be boring, or do you want mom to know she’s special? Does she really want another year of flowers to throw away and a card to put in a shoebox? Or does she want to spend some quality time with you and the family? Maybe this is the year to surprise mom with something she doesn’t expect, like an evening listening to live, classical music from an acclaimed orchestra. How often does she get to do that? On Mother’s Day, May 8, the whole family can do something together when the Florida Orchestra performs a free concert at Curtis Hixon Park, 600 N. Ashley Drive, in Tampa. It’s a nearly two-hour show with music you’ve definitely heard before, including some classic favorites. As in, legitimate classics. Oh, and did I mention it’s free? I did? Ok, just checking. The Florida Orchestra has put together a Mother’s Day performance for the past few years, and the concert is very popular. Thousands of people bring lawn chairs, food, drinks, blankets and even leashed pets (the park is dog-friendly) to hear them perform. And it’s not just a few parts of the orchestra. It’s the whole thing. Around 60 musicians will perform compositions like

Thousands come to enjoy the orchestra’s free show each year.
Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture and Offenbach’s Can-Can. Never heard those, you say? Yes, you have. You might not know them by name, but when you hear it you’ll recognize it. There’s also going to be music from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and a tribute to The Beatles. I’m sure you’ve heard of them. Throw in the Olympic fanfare and finish it all off with some fireworks, and you have an evening of fun, unique entertainment. And how will mom feel about taking her to a free event? I think she’ll be proud to know that you listened to her about saving money and being responsible with your finances. And she’ll be honored that you’re spending time with her to do something unique and fun. No offense to flower shops and candy makers, but this is a memory that will last a lot longer. The performance starts at 7:30 p.m., but you’ll want to get there early to get a good spot. Feel free to invite other mothers, too. Maybe you know a mom whose children don’t live locally, or aren’t with them anymore.They deserve to be recognized, too. So whether it’s a friend, neighbor or family member, invite them to come with you and enjoy some entertaining live music from a special group of performers. This isn’t some garage band playing at a neighborhood party. The Florida Orchestra has been around for decades, performed with Whitney Houston when she sang “The Star-Spangled

Banner” at the Super Bowl and presents nearly 100 concerts each year. Except most of those concerts aren’t free. This one is.
So Happy Mother’s Day, and enjoy the music. By the way, if you can’t make it on Sunday, the full orchestra is performing a free one-hour set on May 7 — the night before the Mother’s Day concert — at Westfield Countryside Mall, 27001 US Highway 19 North in Clearwater. It’s a bit of a drive, but if you want to see them for free and already have Mother’s Day plans, it’s a good way to catch the orchestra. That performance begins at 6:30 p.m. For more information, visit FloridaOrchestra.org.

Discover how we can eliminate your “musculoskeletal pain” by removing pressure from your spinal nerves, without drugs and surgery! Taking headache medications can cause “rebound” headaches. Drugs only mask your headaches and can have serious side effects. Cervicogenic headaches are the most common type of headache, and start in the neck. David Biondi, D.O., pointed out in his article published in The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association, “All patients with cervicogenic headaches could benefit from the manual modes of therapy, including….manipulation.” You may have an imbalance elsewhere in your spine which can cause your cervical spine to not function properly. That’s why we examine and treat your entire spine! Give us a call TODAY!

Special to The Laker / Lutz News
Infinity Eye Care recently opened a new office in Land O’ Lakes to provide optician services. Many area residents have already discovered — or rediscovered — Dr. Kevin Smith. Here’s what distinguishes Dr. Smith and his practice. 1. New, convenient Land O’ Lakes office Our beautiful new office, located just north of the Land O’ Lakes Post Office, is comfortable with separate offices for pretesting, exe exams, contact lens fittings and frame selection. 2. Experience Dr. Kevin Smith began his optical career over 26 years ago when he learned the craft of manufacturing eyeglasses from his stepfather, Paul H. West. Kevin went on to graduate from USF, and received his medical degree from Nova Southeastern University in 1999. Dr. Smith has practiced in many areas of optometry, including commercial eye clinics, skilled nursing facilities and private practice. 3. No sales pressure Unlike national optical stores in the mall, our staff has no sales quotas. We help you select frames and finishes that meet your budget and look great on your face. Our focus is your health – not selling glasses! 4. Designer frames Juicy, Nike, CK, Swarovski, Revo, Fysh, Costa del Mar and many more! We carry a full line of designer brands, as well as the latest designs in affordable eyewear. 5. N/C digital camera Our state-of-the-art digital camera is used on every patient to get the most accurate prescription. Because digital cameras are very expensive, most optical offices charge extra to use this important diagnostic tool.
PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT
P R O F I L E
Why patients love Dr. Smith 6. In-house lab work We’re the only optical practices in Tampa with the training and equipment to finish lenses in our own lab. This gives us final control to make sure your lenses are grinded perfectly to match your prescription. 7. Bifocal contact lenses Dr. Smith prescribes contact lenses that have the bifocal component built into the lens. So if you want to continue wearing contacts after you need reading glasses, now you can! 8. Save your vision, and even your life Dr. Smith recently diagnosed a melanoma eye tumor in a 40-year-old man. The patient complained of blurry visions, and upon examination, Dr. Smith discovered a tumor that was destroying the eye. It is essential that people with systemic diseases, especially high blood pressure and diabetes, see their optometrist every 12 months. Others should go every 18 months. Seeing your eye doctor can save your vision, and even your life. 9. We make house calls Dr. Smith makes house calls in a mobile satellite office in a custom-designed van. For elderly and disabled patients who cannot get to our office, we go to them. 10. Local Roots/Local Resident Many people know Dr. Smith from the eights years he worked with Charley Chaney at the Eyeglass Factory in Lutz. In 2008, Dr. Smith bought Infinity Eye Care in South Tampa, and is thrilled to be back in Lutz/Land O’ Lakes with a second office.
Dr. Smith lived in Lake Padgett East in Land O’ Lakes for many years, and moved to Seven Oaks in Wesley Chapel in 2007 when he married Sharon. The couple’s daughter, Kayla, is a graduate of Wiregrass High School and attends Pasco Hernando State College.

Prom Promise brings together local first responders who visit high schools during prom season to inform students of the importance of making good decisions on prom night. Using student actors from each high school who are dressed in prom attire and splattered with fake blood, the first responders illustrate the tragic events that can occur when a student gets drunk at the prom, and then drives away and crashes into another carload of prom-goers. After the crash, the firefighters, paramedics and police officers converge on the scene, and students see the intense activity that follows, including a Bayflite helicopter ready to transport the trauma patients. The presentations are coordinated with school SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) groups and the school resource officers. Prom Promise will make an appearance at Wiregrass Ranch High School, 2909 Mansfield Blvd, in Wesley Chapel, on May 20 at 8:30 a.m., in the stadium.

PANHANDLING, from page 1A with 13 fatalities.The highest volume of fatal crashes happened on Saturday and Sunday, and occurred more often in daylight than evening. Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco also said that people were taking advantage of the Sunday exception to the ordinance. “They are switching over from selling newspapers to panhandling,” he said.“By afternoon, they switch out signs. It goes back to — there is a public safety issue.” Pasco County Commissioner Mike Wells brought up the issue in March after hearing about a veteran who was killed while selling newspapers along U.S. 19. Commissioners then directed staff members to draft the new ordinance. “It’s an unsafe practice for all involved,” Wells said, adding that he believes Pasco does everything possible to help residents in need. While Pasco County Commissioner Jack
MEMORIAL, from page 1A names to add to the memorials here or across the country.” The 35-year veteran of law enforcement pointed out nationwide increases in line-ofduty deaths by gunfire, with 17 incidents thus far in 2016. “We wonder why this is going on and despite all the many changes we’ve made over the years, we still see the violence and the death,”Velboom said, noting there’s been a national upheaval in policing since the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was killed by Darren Wilson, a white police officer. The shooting prompted protests for weeks in the city, a suburb of St. Louis. “While it’s been proven the officer acted appropriately, the event cast a shadow over the department, its practices and cultures,” Velboom said, adding “and law enforcement all around the country is being painted with that same broad brush.” Velboom acknowledged the importance of law enforcement officers to earn the trust and respect of the citizens they serve to prevent issues in the future. “We must continue to work on building positive relationships with our community and be as transparent as we can,” he explained. “We must work on this every day, with every action.” Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco discussed the cultural significance of the “thin blue line,” a symbol of solidarity for police officers and their families. “We sometimes hear a few people talk about the thin blue line in a negative manner — where they think the blue line represents a policy where law enforcement officers have a protocol...to protect criminals who wear a badge,” Nocco said. But Nocco said, “We actually hold the greatest responsibility to hold up the integrity of the badge, especially to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice while wearing it,” Nocco said. Despite recent negativity and pessimism toward law enforcement nationwide, Nocco, Pasco’s sheriff since 2011, said,“our world consists of men and woman, and families who understand there is good and evil in this world and evil must be defeated, no mat-
Mariano sympathized with those selling newspapers, he said,“It’s just not working out. It’s unfortunate we have to take this strong step.” Hugh Townsend, of the Hunter’s Ridge homeowners’ association, said panhandling “is of grave concern.” Residents have dealt with litter, broken lights around the community’s monument sign and destruction to landscaping. “I’d rather see them set up in a parking lot,”Townsend said. From his wheelchair, Clifton Levigne told commissioners that he and others need the money they earn from selling Sunday newspapers. “We have to count on selling newspapers, or else we can’t have enough to get through the week,” he said.“We’re not panhandlers.” Contreras said the ordinance would hurt people trying to work for a living, but probably won’t stop panhandling. “They (panhandlers) just cost us all our jobs,” she said.

ter how ugly that may look.” The sheriff went on to say,“Most importantly, our world is made up with true heroes, who are filled with so much bravery and love that they’re willing to give up their earthly body to protect another human being. “We honor their sacrifices — not just on one day, but every day,” Nocco said.

SPRING FOOTBALL PREVIEW ZEPHYRHILLS HIGH SCHOOL:
PASCO COUNTY
COACH: NICK CARROLL (1ST YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 8-3
By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com
pring football practices are underway for high schools across the state.While the first games of the 2016 season are still several months away, Florida high schools are allowed a maximum of 20 practice sessions between April 25 to May 31, according to FHSAA (Florida High School Athletic Association) guidelines. Here’s a look at what schools in our coverage area are working with:
S
PASCO COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL COACH: TOM MCHUGH (9TH YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 4-6
FILE PHOTOS
The Land O’ Lakes Gators are looking to avoid a third straight losing season. A more manageable schedule in 2016 should help.
LAND O’ LAKES HIGH SCHOOL COACH: BRIAN WACHTEL (6TH YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 3-7
Last season was rough for the Gators, who failed to win a home game at “The Swamp,” and were shutout by their primary rival in Sunlake High. Playing five consecutive road games didn’t help the cause, either.To relive their magical 8-2 season back in 2013, the Gators must find some consistent play at the quarterback position, whether that is from rising senior Spencer Childress or rising junior Jude May.Though the team loses their top two rushers from last season in Rashawn Kindell (526 yards rushing, 5.7 yards per carry) and Tommy Farmer (417 yards, 7 TDs), the Gators may have a breakout candidate in tailback Quintin Smith, who’ll be a senior. On defense, the Gators return standout safety Justin Kren, a capable tackler (51 solo tackles) and ballhawk (five interceptions).
A difficult schedule and some tough breaks steered the Pirates into a losing 2015 season. Despite starting the year 3-0, Pasco High ran into some tough competition in the middle of the season, losing four straight games to North Marion, Jesuit, Mitchell and Sunlake high schools.A heartbreaking 44-43 overtime loss to Springstead High added fuel to the fire.While the win-loss total doesn’t show it, the Pirates were loaded with talent, including cornerback Jayvauhn Myers (Auburn signee), offensive lineman Jamal Mention (Coffeyville (Kansas) Community College signee) and tight end Nick Bryant (Middle Tennessee signee). Coach McHugh must find a way to replace those productive players, and find a reliable quarterback after Michael Penix Jr. transferred to Tampa Bay Tech.
SUNLAKE HIGH SCHOOL COACH: BILL BROWNING (9TH YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 8-3
Another year, another terrific record. That’s been the narrative for the Seahawks over the past six seasons under the leadership of head coach Bill Browning. Since 2010, the team has a combined record of 53-13.Though the team returns several players at the skill positions, one of the big questions leading into the season is how the team will fare on the offensive line, with the departures of Bryce Cooley (Angelo State signee), Joe Russum (Black Hills State signee) and Leo Baez (Bluefield College). If the Seahawks can create cohesion and provide enough protection in the trenches for standout pro-style quarterback Justin Hall
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY
The Sunlake Seahawks are looking to have their seventh straight winning season. To do so, Coach Bill Browning will have to replace several starters on the offensive line.
(1,729 yards, 17 TDs, 3 INTs), they should be in store for another winning season.
WESLEY CHAPEL HIGH SCHOOL COACH: ANTHONY EGAN (1ST YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 2-8
The Wildcats have suffered four straight losing seasons, and now it’s up to first-year head coach Anthony Egan — a former River Ridge High assistant — to turn the program around. Luckily for Egan, the cupboard isn’t bare. Signal-caller Jacob Thomas (44 percent completion, 1,825 yards, 17 TDs, 13 INTs) returns as well as pass-catchers Ben Goins (31 receptions, 403 yards) and Devin Singletary (23 receptions, 240 yards). On defense, the Wildcats return their top three tacklers in Marcus Gillott, Ellrie Allen and Christian Austin. To improve their record, the Wildcats must find a way to develop a consistent rushing attack (rushers averaged just 2.6 yards per carry) and they must win close games (the team lost three games by seven points or fewer in 2015.)
WIREGRASS RANCH HIGH SCHOOL COACH: MARK KANTOR (2ND YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 2-8
Coach Mark Kantor embarks on year two of what is perhaps a long-term rebuilding job. Prior to Kantor’s hiring in 2015, the Bulls had three coaches in four years, combining for an 8-32 record during that span. To improve in 2016, the Bulls must find a way to stay healthy (19 season-ending injuries were suffered in 2015) and significantly improve on offense.The team averaged just 10.6 points per game in 2015, and was shutout in half of their games. If the Bulls can’t muster up better production from the quarterback position, it’ll be tough to secure a winning record.
The Bulldogs notched their fourth straight winning season in 2015, but they’ll enter the 2016 season with a new head coach in Nick Carroll, a former Sunlake High assistant. Carroll will try to duplicate the success of former coach Reggie Roberts, but will have a challenge on his hands. Running back Antwione Sims, the team’s leading offensive playmaker, tore his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) over a month ago, and will likely miss several games in 2016. Additionally, Carroll must find a way to get Bulldogs players to gel, and learn the style of offense and defense he’s implementing. Carroll expects several incoming freshmen and sophomores to make an impact in his first season.
ZEPHYRHILLS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY: COACH: MIKE SMITH (2ND YEAR, 11-MAN) 2015 RECORD: 4-4
The Warriors had a respectable 2015 season, if you consider it was their first season playing 11-man football after they dominated the 6-man ranks for several years. However, the team may be in for a setback in 2016, as they’ll be without their top offensive player, wide receiver Issac Johnson (62 receptions, 1,013 yards), and top defensive player, defensive lineman J’ Won Pickett. Both Johnson (Iowa Western Community College) and Pickett (Minnesota State Community College) are playing football at junior colleges next season. The Warriors will also have to develop a new quarterback with the impending graduation of Matthew Iovine, an accurate passer (67 percent completion, 1,475 yards). Being without last year’s quarterback and top receiver may open the door to additional carries for returning running backs such as John Emmanual, Dwight Thomas and Mykh’ael Chavis.
Wiregrass Ranch coach Mark Kantor enters year two of what is likely a lengthy rebuilding job. The Bulls haven’t had a winning season since 2010.
GAITHER HIGH SCHOOL COACH: JASON STOKES (6TH YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 4-6
By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com
pring football practices are underway for Hillsborough County schools in our coverage area. Programs such as Gaither High and Freedom High are hoping for turnarounds, while Steinbrenner and Wharton high schools are trying to build off last season’s successes. Carrollwood Day School fits the bill as a possible team on the rise for 2016.
S
CARROLLWOOD DAY SCHOOL COACH: LANE MCLAUGHLIN (10TH YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 7-4
Carrollwood Day School prep fans should be excited about the potential for an entertaining season, and not just because the private school’s football team will be playing at a brand-new athletic complex in 2016. A majority of Carrollwood’s young playmakers on offense return, including incumbent quarterback Raymond Woodie Jr., leading rusher Yahsin Wooten (740 yards, 8 TDs) and leading receiver Markeis Colvin (20 receptions, 501 yards, 4 TDs.) The Patriots also return their top two tacklers from last season in linebackers Ryan Verscharen and Stephen Walters, who will be seniors. Replacing the production of two sack artists in Zac Watson-Parcells and Corey Shamley will be key to take a step forward in 2016.
FREEDOM HIGH SCHOOL COACH: FLOYD GRAHAM (1ST YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 3-7

ficially hired on April 1.The good news for those that closely follow Freedom’s program is it’s something Graham should be able to handle, considering he created football programs from scratch at both Newsome and Steinbrenner high schools. However, Graham will have some uphill battles to climb in year one. Being hired in April doesn’t give him much time to implement his coaching philosophy, and develop a rapport with both players and assistant coaches. Also, the team is losing a plethora of seniors from 2015, including do-it-all playmaker Nasir Core.
www.LakerLutzNews.com
In order to improve in 2016, the Cowboys must make some strides on the offensive side of the ball. The team scored nine points or fewer in six out of their 10 games. Luckily for Coach Stokes, bellcow running back Alex Rodriguez returns. Getting quarterback Gavin Denboer to cut down on his interceptions (10) is a must. The Cowboys defense should be able to hold its own, with the return of linebacker Decalon Brooks, last year’s leading tackler (114).The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Brooks, the son of Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend Derrick Brooks, is widely viewed as one of the top players in all of Tampa.The consensus three-star recruit already has Division I scholarship offers from Florida International University, Florida State University, University of Illinois and University of South Florida.
STEINBRENNER HIGH SCHOOL COACH: ANDRES PEREZ-REINALDO (5TH YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 9-2
The Warriors finally had a breakout season in 2015 under the tutelage of head coach Andres Perez-Reinaldo. Thanks to a potent offense and an at-times smothering defense, Steinbrenner’s only two setbacks last season were against dynasty prep programs in Manatee (Bradenton) High and Dr. Phillips (Orlando) High. On offense, quarterback Collin Wray (56 percent completion, 1,634 yards) returns, as do two of his favorite targets in Brett Bitter (35 receptions, 600 yards) and Carson Kaleo (34 receptions, 277 yards). Replacing the production of 1,000-yard rusher Jayquese Dantley is something the team will need to address.
Steinbrenner football coach Andres Perez-Reinaldo is looking to build off the team’s 9-2 campaign in 2015.
On defense, Coach Perez-Reinaldo and his staff must find some players that can carry the load, since the Warriors lose three leading tacklers in Tyler Mirabella, Patrick Lukert and Zack Deitz.
WHARTON HIGH SCHOOL COACH: DAVID MITCHELL (12TH YEAR) 2015 RECORD: 8-2
The Wildcats enjoyed a successful 2015 campaign, with sizable victories over the likes of King High, Gaither High, Wiregrass Ranch and Leto High. However, it won’t be easy to replicate the scoring outputs (at least 30 points in seven games) from 2015. Coach Mitchell will have to replace quarterback Bryce Martin, leading rusher Miles Williams (1,102 yards, 10 TDs) and leading receiver Devontres Dukes (18 receptions, 360 yards) from last year’s squad.They also lost defensive stalwarts in linebacker Hayden Parks (75 tackles) and defensive lineman Godey Coleus (six sacks). One possible breakout candidate to watch is two-way player Shannon King, who will be a junior. The powerful 5-foot-10, 210pounder rushed for nearly 400 yards, adding 6.9 yards per carry.

Gulfport has ‘Old Florida’ charm Worth the Trip By Kathy Steele
ksteele@lakerlutznews.com
I
f you’re looking for a day trip off the beaten path, Gulfport is a destination worth your time and travel. It is a town with a sense of place rooted in Old Florida and often described as “a hidden gem.” But, this quaint historical fishing village on the Boca Ciega Bay is far from hidden these days. With a reviving waterfront district, a historical casino ballroom, art galleries, neighborhood bars and gourmet dining spots, Gulfport is being discovered as the place to enjoy the old, and the new. Rainbow-colored shops, boutiques and restaurants along and around Beach Boulevard add texture to subtropical Florida, evoking another historical town to the south. “I think what most come here for is the Key West lifestyle, before Key West became commercial,” said Scott Linde, president of the Gulf Port Merchants Association.“It conveys remembrances of old Florida. It has an artsy feel to it.We have all ages, all lifestyles here.” Gulfport’s downtown charms are apparent during the community’s First Friday Art Walks, which are year-round on the First Friday and Third Friday of the month, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Beach and Shore boulevards are alive with activities, as artists, crafters and live performers give visitors a chance to browse, shop and be entertained. The next First Friday is May 6 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Parking is free, and trolleys also are available for this pet and family friendly event. Something is always happening at Gulfport, a town where the cheeky, fun-loving gecko is the year-round mascot. He emerged into the Gulfport spotlight in 2001 with the GeckoFest and Mullet Mutiny. In 2004, the gecko partnered with the Gulfport Merchants Association to keep the annual party rolling. On Aug. 5, there will be a Gecko Art Show; on Aug. 13, the Gecko Pub Crawl; on Aug. 27, a ball with the theme “20,000 Geckos Under the Sea”; and, on Sept. 3, a blow-out street festival. But, there is no need to wait for Gecko festivities to make a trip to Gulfport. On an ordinary day, the town rolls out the welcome mat. Every Tuesday, fresh produce, cheese, honey and shrimp are on sale at the Fresh Market, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., on Beach Boulevard by the waterfront.Arts and crafts, live music and more than a dozen restaurants add to the fun. Summer hours from June through September are from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Clothing swaps are on the second Tuesday of each month from 9 a.m. to 1
Gulfport First Friday Art Walk WHAT: Artists, crafters and live entertainment will offer visitors plenty to see, enjoy and perhaps even buy during First Friday Art Walk festivities. WHEN: This takes place year-round, on the first and third Friday of each month, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. The next one is May 6. WHERE: 3007 Beach Blvd., Gulfport, 33707 COST: Free parking, free trolley rides, petfriendly

The nonprofit also operates the Gulfport History Museum at 5301 28th Ave., S. The history museum is open to the public, with no admission charge, and features an impressive display of historical documents and photographs from the town’s history and its families, dating to the 1880s. The museum also hosts occasional exhibits and walking tours of the town’s brick-lined streets, and historical homes and businesses. Other special events during the year include Spring Fest to celebrate the changing
seasons; Get Rescued, an animal rescue festival; and, the Pink Flamingo home tour. In Gulfport, it seems, there really is something for everyone. Daniel Hodge found that out when he moved from San Francisco to Gulfport nearly a decade ago to live near family. The freelance writer and disc jockey is
