Mourners remember fallen officers By Michael Hinman mhinman@lakerlutznews.com
It’s said that J. Edgar Hoover himself traveled from Washington, D.C., to Dade City, to remember prohibition agent John Van Waters. The 46-year-old U.S. Department of Justice officer was killed alongside Pasco County constable Arthur Crenshaw on Oct. 4, 1922, in an ambush soon after investigating an illegal distillery near Dade City. They were just the second and third law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty at the time, but would eventually become a part of a list that now totals eight who paid the ultimate price in protecting the people of Pasco County. And those same people who benefit from that protection refuse to let them be forgotten as the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies celebrated their lives during a memorial service May 2 in front of the Historic Dade City Courthouse. “It is truly a special day for us,” Sheriff Chris Nocco told the crowd of spectators who stood in a steady downpour to honor the officers. “In a world where so many times we get wrapped up in the petty little things of life, this is a moment that we can See MOURNERS, page 6

Superintendent pushes new standards By B.C. Manion bcmanion@akerlutznews.com
As the Pasco County school district shifts to a more rigorous set of educational standards, Superintendent Kurt Browning has been making the rounds to explain the changes to parents. During his most recent stop at Wiregrass Ranch High School — the final of 13 community meetings — Browning told parents that the district must change the way teachers teach and students learn. He also called for greater involvement by parents to help prepare students for entering school and to reinforce learning at home. The district’s current performance must improve, Browning said, especially since the district is ranked 34th out of the state’s 67 districts. “I’m not the least bit happy with 34,” Browning said. Society has changed and the district must change too to meet its goal of produc-

ing students who are ready for college, careers and life, Browning said. “We’ve got to make a connection between what’s happening in the real world and in the classroom,” Browning said. Along those lines, the district is shifting to Common Core State Standards and raising the bar on expectations.The standards define what students should know as they proceed through school in order to graduate from high school fully prepared to enter college and the work force. “We’re embracing a new way of teaching and learning,” said Rayann Mitchell, a senior supervisor in the division of curriculum, assessment and instruction. The new standards are causing teachers to think differently about the way they teach, Browning said. Instead of standing at the front of the classroom lecturing, teachers are now pushing for more collaboration between students See STANDARDS, page 8

Last October, seven years after his death, “Remembering Jim” was released on WestBow Press. McEndree recalls the close bond she shared with Jim, while they were growing up in New Hampshire, in frightening and degrading circumstances. “We were buddies all through our lives, because we lived in a very dysfunctional and violent environment,” she said. As his life deteriorated, however, they
Writing a book is often a difficult process. Finishing one can be an exhausting, emotional ordeal for the author that becomes a real challenge to complete. But it wasn’t like that for Zephyrhills resident Nancy Carroll McEndree. It was much, much worse. “I went into (post-traumatic stress disorder) every chapter I wrote,” McEndree said. “I sat in my chair or in my office and I wept uncontrollably. I ended up in the hospital.” To write “Remembering Jim: From Violence, Abuse and Terror to Joy See AUTHOR, page 6 Everlasting” — a book chronicling her late brother’s difficult upbringing, bottoming out as an absent husband and father, and eventual transformation to an active person of faith — McEndree had to go back to the beginning of their lives. And that meant dealing with her own childhood, which was filled with memories of her mother and brothers dealing with constant physical abuse. McEndree also suffered severe mental abuse and neglect, and said she even had to spurn her father’s sexual advances. She would have been happy to leave those memories in the past, except they were necessary to tell her MICHAEL MURILLO/STAFF PHOTO brother’s story of redempNancy Carroll McEndree writes her books sitting in a reclintion.

Public weighs in on Pasco’s future parks and rec plan By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com
When residents consider the future of Pasco County’s parks and recreation’s programs and facilities, they have plenty of suggestions for the county to consider. Some want to see more opportunities — such as pathways — to enjoy the beauty of natural areas owned by the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Others want to create a “blue way,” providing water access to coastal areas. Some think more should be done to encourage gatherings on large green spaces, to foster a greater sense of community. And, some want to do a better job of marketing the county’s gems, such as the rolling hills of Dade City. These were just a few thoughts that popped up during a discussion recently at the Land O’ Lakes Community Center, where David Barth, of AECOM Technology Corp., asked those gathered to help define See PARKS, page 6

Forget finance, B.A. Arnot finds his sweet spot Getting to know You By Michael Hinman mhinman@lakerlutznews.com
T
here may be about a dozen different cuts of steak, but the ways to prepare it are almost endless. Think about Bubba Blue’s long list of shrimp recipes in the film “Forrest Gump,” and replace all of it with all the types of steak that exist. B.A. Arnot has watched thousands of steaks carried from his kitchen to customers at his LongHorn Steakhouse location on Tampa’s Westshore Boulevard. Rancher’s Sirloin. Outlaw Ribeye. Flo’s Filet. There’s never a shortage of meat. And for the last 20 years,Arnot has dedicated his professional career to making sure hungry customers walk away satisfied from the restaurant chain. But his job as managing partner is not exactly the career Arnot expected to find himself in back in his college days at the University of South Florida. “My degree is in finance,”Arnot said one recent afternoon before the Saturday dinner rush.“I was on the USF golf team, too, and I was even thinking about maybe turning pro.” In fact, if the Super Bowl and a major golfing event ever ended up on the same night,Arnot might have to read about football’s biggest game in the newspaper the next morning.The only reason why he isn’t pursuing that dream is an injury that prevents him from playing as much as he likes. Of course, that does not mean Arnot never plays. Silverado Golf & Country Club
in Zephyrhills is just a short jaunt from his Lake Bernadette home. From time to time, people will find Arnot carrying his clubs, looking to master each hole. Injury explains the change in his golf plans, but what happened to a career in finance? “I don’t think I would’ve ever been good behind a desk,”Arnot said.“I’m used to being on my feet and walking around, because at the end of the day, it all comes down to customer service for me.” But Arnot doesn’t like the word “customer,” however. “’Guest’ is a better word,” he said.“It’s all about the guest, and taking care of the guest.” In 1994, LongHorn was a young restaurant chain that was more “roadhouse” style. The complete menu was found on a chalkboard when customers arrived, and each table offered complimentary peanuts — the shells of which were welcomed on top of the wooden floors, crunching under the servers’ feet. Arnot had worked at a Burger King when he was a teenager, and Bennigan’s in college. But at LongHorn, he was still starting at entry level, first as a host, and then as a server. Yet, the manager at his LongHorn saw something in Arnot. He saw a leader. “After a year-and-a-half here, I got offered a chance to go into management, so I did,” he said. Arnot would continue to work at the LongHorn location on North Dale Mabry Highway, until he became a kitchen manager at a new location in Citrus Park in 1999. Just two years later, he was back at the Dale Mabry location, now as its managing partner. Arnot gives back the same way he received nearly two decades ago. He looks for manager material from the staff he hires, and promotes them whenever the opportu-
Getting to know B.A. Arnot What are you watching on TV? There have been tons of shows on that everyone likes, but I tend to only watch TV on Wednesday nights when I’m off. So the shows I’m watching are “Burn Notice” and “Suits.” What music group makes you turn up the radio? Nirvana. Or really anything on 102.5 The Bone. If you could spend a week anywhere? I would go to St. Andrews Links, the golf course in Scotland. It’s the most famous course in the world.

nity arises. He’s a big believer in hiring from within. During almost all of that time,Arnot has commuted the nearly 40 miles from his home to the restaurant. Even when the Dale Mabry location closed down and moved to nearby Westshore Boulevard, it was still a haul. But he doesn’t let all that travel time and long hours at the restaurant interfere with making time for his wife — a manager at a Fifth Third Bank — and three daughters, ages 16, 14, and 8. He takes turns getting his kids around to their various activities, and making sure he’s home for dinner the nights

he’s not working. Arnot also carves out a little time for himself in the middle of the week, where he can enjoy a round of golf, or simply work on projects at home. And as the LongHorn chain expands, Arnot hopes to expand with it. His ultimate goal is to become a regional director of operations, although such a job might mean moving. Moving up is a long-term plan, like waiting until his youngest daughter is on her way to college. “Yeah, 10 years would be my goal to move ahead,” Arnot said.“But who knows. It’s hard to predict.” And Arnot should know. Just 20 years ago, LongHorn was supposed to be a quick stop on the road toward a banking job. Instead, he’s focused his career on the industry, and still has a lot more he wants to accomplish.

BURGESS QUALIFIES FOR PRIMARY, EARNS ENDORSEMENT Republican state House candidate Danny Burgess has officially qualified for the upcoming House District 38 primary after his campaign collected enough signatures through the petition process. The qualifying came just days before Burgess received an endorsement from the man he’s trying to replace in Tallahassee, state Rep. Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel. “From serving as the mayor of Zephyrhills to serving in the U.S. Army Reserve, Danny has a distinguished record of public service,� Weatherford said, in a statement.“Danny possesses the courage of his conservative convictions coupled with a temperament that enables him to work and find common ground.� Burgess faces Minnie Diaz in the Republican primary in August, with the winner set to face Democrat Beverly Ledbetter in November, assuming no one else files to run.
ALTMAN SEEKS THIRD TERM ON SCHOOL BOARD
The District 1 seat for the Pasco County School Board finally has a candidate ‌ and it’s the incumbent,Allen Altman. Altman, whose district includes primarily schools in eastern Pasco County — including Zephyrhills, Wesley Chapel and Pasco high schools — made his re-election campaign official Wednesday. Three school board seats are up for grabs this election cycle, with Cynthia Armstrong the lone candidate for her District 3 seat, and Marc Yacht challenging Steve Luikart for his district on the west side of the county. Altman ran unopposed four years ago, raising $22,000. He originally won the seat in 2006, beating Cathi Compton and Willie
Broner Jr., out-raising both $112,000 to $36,000. Altman is an agent with Pasco County Farm Bureau Insurance, which maintains a local office at U.S. 301 in Dade City. Candidates have until June 20 to qualify.
CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES QUALIFY
U.S. Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Lakeland, is officially defending his Congressional seat against former television reporter Alan Cohn after both wrote checks to qualify for the November election. Both candidates chose to spend a little more than $10,000 each from their campaign coffers to qualify, instead of collecting signatures like U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Palm Harbor. Bilirakis will return to Congress unopposed after collecting the needed 2,298 signatures to qualify. Ross has raised $718,000 for his re-election campaign through the end of March, while Cohn has collected $160,000.

MOURNERS, from page 1 reflect upon what is most important.� Last year, the death toll for law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty dropped to its lowest numbers in more than 50 years. And while those are statistics that should be celebrated, Dade City Police Chief Ray Velboom warned that work to protect officers is still needed. “While this number is gratifying somewhat, one life is still too many,� he said.“We as leaders continue to work hard to provide our officers with the awareness and training they need to confront the many dangers they are facing. We must strive to create a new culture of safety in law enforcement that addresses the elements of our job that we can control, such as driving habits.� Two of Pasco’s deaths were from automobile accidents, including the most recent,
AUTHOR, from page 1 grew apart. After a football injury derailed a potential athletic future, he had trouble holding jobs and couldn’t stay faithful in his marriages. He abandoned his wife and children and ended up on the street, surviving on food from soup kitchens, and bathing in restaurant bathrooms, McEndree said. When McEndree reached out to him, Jim was living in a halfway house.The brother she loved rebuffed her. “What he said to me was,‘Nancy, you’ve got your life and I’ve got mine. Don’t ever call me again. I’ll never see you,’“ she recalled. Over time, he eventually found God and was able to reverse his life’s fortunes, becoming a Pentecostal preacher. McEndree had already survived her abusive past and became a devout Seventh-day Adventist. She did medical missionary work, wrote several books, and had a radio show with her longtime husband, Duane. But she still missed her brother. Then one day he reached out, with a desire to reconnect. But he also had some tragic news: He was dying from leukemia and he needed her help. “I just found him and I’m going to lose him again,� she thought when they spoke. Jim moved in with McEndree and her husband, and the final years of his life were spent in a healthy family environment, prayer, and an ability to touch the lives of those he met in a positive way. Jim also was able to reconnect with some of his children, and expressed a desire to put his story to paper. While she was relieved to finish the
Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said that the men being honored showed courage, that ‘when there was a fight or flight situation, they did not run in fear, they fought.’
Hernando County Sheriff’s deputy John Mecklenburg, who was killed during a highbook and is pleased with the result, her husband of 23 years was worried it was too taxing on her. McEndree, 71, has her own health issues, and her husband didn’t want her to jeopardize her health for the project. “I know it was very traumatic for her,� Duane McEndree said. “Nancy has heart problems, and several times during the writing process, she went into arrhythmia because of the trauma that she was going through. I was very concerned.� Still, the stress she endured writing “Remembering Jim� hasn’t soured her on writing. McEndree also has written a series of children’s books, and she’s currently working on another book dealing with the world’s problems and offering solutions to them. Her work is done lounging in a recliner located in a room with plenty of sunlight, and their house is on property that also includes the home of some of her children and grandchildren. McEndree’s writing sessions can last several hours, and usually produce several handwritten pages that Duane puts into their computer. Now that the book has been released, McEndree is excited about the opportunity to help others with a positive message. Regardless of someone’s upbringing or how far they’ve fallen, she believes her brother’s story proves it’s never too late to put their life on a better path. “This is a ‘victory in Jesus’ book,� she said. “I believe this book is going to touch the hearts of many people that need to hear that there’s hope and that God loves them.� “Remembering Jim� is available at tinyurl.com/RememberingJim.
speed chase on U.S. 41 in 2011 that crossed into Pasco County. Pasco County Sheriff’s deputy John McCabe also died on U.S. 41, but in 1948, while responding to a call about stolen grove heaters. “On this day, let us remember these men not by how they died, but how they walked among us, and whose lives they enriched in a thousand ways by their very existence,� said U.S. Circuit Court judge William Burgess III, after reading the roll call of the fallen officers. Those officers honored also included Lt. Charles “Bo� Harrison, who was killed June 1, 2003, while doing surveillance near a Dade City nightclub. A sniper, whose only goal reportedly was to shoot a police officer, hid in the nearby woods, and shot Harrison in the back. Harrison, who was 56, was just 15 days away from retirement after 31 years of service. Also remembered was a member of the
Florida Highway Patrol, Trooper James Bradford-Jean Crooks, who was just 23 in May 1998 when he was slain by a man who had earlier killed two Tampa Police Department officers and a young boy. Brad Crooks, as he was known by, never had a chance to get out of his car, was shot and killed on the off-ramp of Interstate 75 into Wesley Chapel. And then there was the first officer ever killed in Pasco in the line of duty. Sheldon Nicks was working with his father, Fivay town marshal H. Robert Nicks, to serve a warrant. When the man they were serving realized he was being arrested, he pulled a gun. The younger Nicks jumped in front of the bullet, saving his father, but died on May 8, 1909. “None of whom we honor today can be defined by their deaths,� Florida Highway Patrol Capt. Kristina Quenneville said.“But by what is forever imprinted on the lives and hearts of those they have touched.�
PARKS, from page 1 what steps could be taken to help Pasco County become a premier county where people want to live, work and locate their business. The county hired AECOM, a professional consulting firm, for $125,000 to develop a 10-year comprehensive parks and recreation system master plan.The plan must be considered in a broad sense, Barth told the crowd of about two dozen. “It’s important to understand lifestyle and demographics,� Barth said. For instance, park planning in urban areas is different than it is in suburban or rural places. Since Pasco is a mix, different considerations must be made for different areas. The planning also must consider existing facilities and programs — not only those which belong to the county, but also those which are part of the public realm, including schools, museums and libraries, Barth said. “We need to understand what’s happening today,� he said.“What are the priorities in 2014?� But it’s also important to consider whether plans made before are still relevant, and whether there are emerging forms of recreation that the county may want to consider. The May 1 workshop was one of three public sessions, but is just a small part of the planning effort.A steering committee made up of various stakeholders also weighed in and there will be a random survey conducted to collect more information. Gathering input from people is just one part of the process.The work also involves evaluating current conditions, using demographic information, considering trends, and

looking at current and desired levels of service. The work also will include a random survey to solicit public sentiment. One issue that didn’t even come up at the public session is the shortage of athletic fields for youth sports, a complaint that has been raised repeatedly in recent years. As the county puts together a plan, it must consider the costs of implementation and various funding options for carrying out the plan, county parks and recreation director Rick Buckman said. Essentially, there are two payment plans. One involves using existing revenues to “pay as you go.� The other involves coming up with additional revenues, which could include additional taxes, Barth said. Planning efforts are expected to continue for several months.As the work goes on and the vision for the plan solidifies, debates are likely to intensify over program and facility priorities and how to pay for the plan. The Pasco County Commission will have final say over the long-range plan and decisions regarding how to pay for it, including using existing revenues or seeking additional support through new taxes, more public-private partnerships or other means.

Pasco lacks incentives for local filmmakers By Michael Hinman mhinman@lakerlutznews.com
Years of filming low-budget shorts in and around Pasco County finally paid off for Christopher Leto when investors offered $250,000 to fund his biggest movie yet, a horror thriller called “The Ritual.” Yet when filming starts later this month, it won’t happen anywhere near his Land O’ Lakes home. Instead, Leto and his crew are heading south to Sarasota County where he can take advantage of film incentives like a 20 percent rebate on certain purchases, and waived costs for government services. “I met with the film commission there, and they were amazing,” Leto said. “Everything I asked them to do, they would bend over backward to help me get what I needed.” But if he had a choice, Leto would’ve much preferred to stay right in Pasco County. “I didn’t want to go to Sarasota to shoot my movie,” he said.“But they have incentives that are really nice.” Pasco has what officials here call a simple permitting process with no fees, and a requirement to carry an insurance rider that costs around $85. But don’t expect too much help beyond that, because Pasco County not only lacks incentives for filmmakers, it lacks an actual film commission. The work instead is handled through Pasco’s Office of Tourism Development, a department led by Ed Caum, who admits he is forced to wear so many hats, the film industry is almost an afterthought. Which is probably why the county’s website still links production companies to the closed mailbox of Eric Keaton, who hasn’t been with the county since last year. “I’m not making any excuses, but I’m probably one of the only people on my staff trained to” update the website, Caum said. “And I’m always sitting in on meetings and

doing other work, that I can’t seem to get to it.” Pasco has never been ignored by filmmakers, which can offer a little bit of everything when it comes to locales. It has beaches on the west side of the county. It has historic structures throughout Dade City. It has virtually untouched forests. However, it’s been a long time since a major production dug in roots in Pasco County … almost 25 years, when a rather unknown director named Tim Burton brought Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder here to film “Edward Scissorhands.” And it could be even longer before something else follows, especially after the Florida Legislature last week decided not to renew statewide incentives to attract major pro-

ductions. That leaves smaller, independent productions. But even they may be endangered, as the infrastructure for busy filmmaking markets will likely migrate to states that offer financial incentives to lure major films. That could be troublesome for Kelly Mikes, an independent film producer who lives in Lutz. She worked with writer R. Presley Stephens to film “You Will Love Me,” which included some exterior shots in Pasco.Without the skilled crews available to work on set or location, filming here could become difficult, if not impossible. “There aren’t a lot of outside resources in this area, because there just isn’t any competition,” Mikes said.“Those who are here are charging exorbitant amounts, and not
everyone can afford to pay that.” Keeping film production locally cannot only keep jobs in the area, but can also provide a much-needed boost to the economy. The Motion Picture Association of America claims that for every dollar in incentives offered by government officials to attract film, the return on investment is, at the very minimum, $5.60. Sometimes, that return could be as high as $20. That means even $5,000 in incentives could generate an economic boost of between $28,000 and $100,000. Incentive packages generate revenue for businesses like retail outlets and hotels.They provide paychecks for workers who make their home here. But that can’t help Pasco quite yet, Caum said. Implementing such a program, maintaining it, and getting the word out to filmmakers it exists, requires a full-time commissioner.And there’s no money for one of those. “That is a sophistication level we need to get to,” Caum said. He hopes he can start sharing some ideas with Pasco County commissioners about promoting film production around September. However, the tourism department will still have to find revenue sources to pay for it. Still, even without statewide incentives, there’s no reason why Pasco couldn’t eventually find its legs in the film industry to keep up with Hillsborough County for now, and maybe even someday reach the levels of Pinellas County, which has churned out films like “Dolphin Tale” and “Magic Mike,” Caum said. It couldn’t come soon enough for Leto, who would like to keep productions from his Reaper Films company right at home. “It’s a beautiful place to film,” Leto said. “But more importantly, it’s close to home, and I want to stay here.”

Spring is here, but so is Grand Horizons By Helene Rubenstein Grand Horizons
While most of our residents are either going back to their northern homes or taking motor trips, games and dinners still continue at Grand Horizons. There was an Easter dinner and potluck in our community center on April 20, and 56 residents and guests attended this outing hosted by Terry and Mim Gardner, Ken and Cheryl Leone, Carol George, and Rich and Chris Fulton.The social club provided the ham, and each couple brought a dish to complete the meal. There was a great variety including pasta salad, coleslaw, potato salad, chicken salad, scalloped potatoes, vegetables, and so much more. In addition to these dishes, there were several desserts for the sweet tooth, and a lovely cake that was shaped like a lamb that was so moist. Before tables were called, grace was given by Fred Sage. He did a lovely job of it and we thank him. After dinner was complete, Ken Leone mentioned that there were two winners from each table. Each winner went home with a lovely handmade centerpiece. We had a lovely time, and the potluck was done in very good taste. Most of the activities that have been going on in the past several months are continuing.

They still have shuffleboard every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, which is loads of fun with friendly conversation among the players. Every Thursday they still have mah-jongg and euchre on Thursday night. Dominoes are still played every Monday night, and bingo is every Tuesday night in our community center.There are these activities and so much more to keep a person busy and not wondering what to do next. We had an ice cream social at our community center on May 4. Marty and I were not there as we traveled back to Connecticut.Wish we were back in Florida, as it is so cold here. From what I understand, there were several toppings available. Many people attended and thoroughly enjoyed themselves creating sundaes that were beyond description. The hosts for this special event were Dave and Linda Tutin, Bill and Karen Donlon, and Rich and Chris Fulton. Our thanks go out to them on arranging this function. Before signing off on this write-up, I would like to add a little note for you music lovers.While Marty and I were going to our home up north, we made a little side trip to a museum that contained mementos, treasures, pictures, articles and movies on Patsy Cline.This museum was quite extensive and we spent several hours there.
