Sports complex proposals under scrutiny Dr. Sara is here to help your child grow up healthy and strong.

By Kathy Steele ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Two proposals for a Wiregrass Ranch sports complex passed muster with an evaluation committee searching for the right concept to maximize sports tourism in Pasco County.

These proposals serve up a buffet line of amenities including large, indoor gymnasiums with multiple playing courts, an amphitheater, a hotel or two, lighted turf fields and some outdoor ball fields.

Finalists were Clearwater-based Sports Facilities Management and RADD Sports, in partnership with Mainsail Development Group and Municipal Acquisitions LLC. Four companies had submitted proposals.

The committee met Sept. 12 and will meet again before either deciding on their recommendation to the Pasco County Commission, or requesting more information.

“I’m definitely excited about this,” said Pasco County Commissioner Mike Moore.

The array of indoor sports that will be

available, in addition to the traditional baseball fields, is especially important, he said.

“Pasco’s recreational baseball is becoming too saturated,” Moore said. And, whichever proposal is chosen, Moore said, “This is something we don’t have in our market.”

In September 2015 a study from Chicago-based Johnson Consulting Co., suggested that Pasco should focus on building a large indoor gymnasium for sports and activities such as basketball, volleyball, See COMPLEX, page 19A

SPECIAL SECTION inside this week

Catholic schools around the Diocese of St. Petersburg partnered with Somebody Cares Tampa Bay for Carefest 2016.

Students joined thousands of volunteers across Pinellas, Hillsborough, Citrus, Hernando and Pasco counties to take part in the week devoted to service, from Sept. 17 to Sept. 24.

At the same time, the diocese celebrated “The Week of Caring in the Year of Mercy.”

During Carefest, schools throughout the diocese engaged in various efforts to extend themselves beyond the Catholic communi-

ty, said Mark Majeski, associate superintendent of schools for the Office of Catholic Schools and Centers for the Diocese of St. Petersburg.

Students at Mother Teresa of Calcutta School in Lutz donated 15 violins to be used by students at St. Joseph Catholic School, and held a school supply drive to help other schools in the diocese.

Bishop McLaughlin Catholic High School in Spring Hill had a first responders’ week and donated canned goods and baby items, collecting enough to fill more than four large containers, to benefit Catholic Charities.

Students at Saint Anthony Catholic School in San Antonio took part in a number

of activities.

Children made thank you cards and banners, and sang for first responders.

“We thanked them for the sacrifices that they are making for our safety.We are totally grateful for their service, because it is truly a call of faith and courage. They do a lot of selfless work for us, for our safety,” said Sister Alice Ottapurackal, the school’s principal.

The children also made “survival kits” for the first responders.

They gave 105 survival kits to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office and 19 to the local firefighters.

Each kit contained: • A prayer card for first responders. For police officers, a holy card of their patron saint, Saint Michael the Archangel; for firefighters, a holy card of their patron saint, St. Florian Each kit also contained a variety of candies, along with an explanation for first See CARING, page 19A

Medical marijuana may mean big money in Pasco

By Kathy Steele ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

The local debate on how to regulate medical marijuana in Pasco County remains unsettled.

But, two Tampa land use attorneys recently briefed county commissioners on the legal difficulties they face, and the vast sums of money at stake as the medical marijuana industry expands.

County commissioners also received a recommendation from the county’s legal staff on limiting medical marijuana in Pasco to industrial districts, with conditions.

The potential use of some industrial properties for medical marijuana dispensaries didn’t go over well with Pasco County Commissioner Jack Mariano.

“I don’t want to take any more industrial off the books,” he said.

Currently, a low level form of medical marijuana, known as Charlotte’s web, is legal in Florida for patients with seizure disorders. Terminally ill patients can qualify for stronger potencies of medical marijuana.

A Nov. 8 statewide referendum, if approved, would open the door to more dispensaries statewide, while also increasing the number of illnesses that can be treated with medical marijuana.

The law currently allows only five sites, geographically dispersed across the state.

The Pasco Middle School band, which has about 110 members, needs new and refurbished instruments.

Country Jam benefits fine arts and other programs

By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

The second annual Dade City (DC) Country Jam promises to be bigger and better than last year’s.

The shindig, set for Oct. 8 from noon to midnight at the Pasco County Fairgrounds, will feature a bevy of musical performances, including the likes of Nashville-based country singer Dawn Beyer; Johnny Shelton, of America’s Got Talent fame; and country-duo Jesse & Noah Bellamy.

In all, there will be 14 bands in a quest aimed to help future musicians.

The concert, organized by Pasco Middle School band director Kenny Mathis, seeks to raise funds for the school’s fine arts programs, plus other school organizations in need.

Last year’s musical bash was an instant success. About 1,000 people attended and $14,000 was raised.

“It has really taken off,” said Mathis, who’s been Pasco Middle’s band director since 2007.“We’ve got a great group of musicians coming down that are ready to help my kids.”

The goal for this year, Mathis said, is to raise at least $25,000.

The funds, he said, will go toward purchasing new band instruments and refurbishing older ones for both the middle school and Pasco High School.

“I’ve got instruments from the ‘50s and ‘60s that are still floating around in there,” the band director explained.“I’ve tried to go back and repair a lot of the instruments that needed repair, and I bought new mouthpieces. ...We used some of the money last year...to try to get them up to par.”

With about 110 middle school band students, Mathis estimates he loans out upwards of 80 instruments.

Considering a new tuba may cost $5,000, and a new euphonium runs about $3,000, the costs add up rapidly.

“I’ve done many, many fundraisers— cheesecakes, magazines, candy — and you can’t get enough in one chunk in those types of sales to buy what you need,” explained Mathis.

“You can’t make enough from a cheeseSee JAM, page 19A

AROUND THE PARKS

Goodbye summer, hello autumn

By Helene Rubenstein Grand Horizons

As summer rolled along, Grand Horizons continued its activities.

One special event took place on Sept. 9 at the Olive Garden. This was the Friday Connoisseurs that meets the second Friday of every month.Approximately 24 people attended the luncheon hosted by Chris Buckley. If you’ve ever gone to the Olive Garden before, you know that there is an extensive menu with something for everyone. I understand from Chris that the service was just fantastic.All the residents who attended had a great time with much conversation and picture taking going on.

Because the weather is getting nicer and many people coming back to Florida from being away for the summer, and the level of activity is increasing.

One such activity is bingo. Here they welcome back the previous people and look forward to new friends. Bingo is every Tuesday night and hosted by Terri Satterlee and Cathy Hepp.This is a fun and exciting game, especial-

ly if you are close to having a “bingo.” At this point of the game, you can hear a pin drop.

On Sept. 20, Jo Ann Fisher hosted a meeting to see who is back from up north to play Bunco. This is also a fun game that is played with dice. It is a fast-paced game. People really must be on their toes.

In addition to these newly returned activities, Grand Horizons will continue with euchre every Thursday night. There must be something to this game, as there seems to be more and more people every week.

Then, of course, we have Mexican Train every Monday night.This particular game is a lot of fun, and you can hear several people joking and teasing during the game.You can hear all sorts of comments like,“My train is falling off of the track” and more.

We also have mah-jongg, which is played every Wednesday.This game involves a lot of concentration, and if you end up getting a “mah-jongg,” you really feel like you accomplished something.

So, as you see, more and more activities are coming back to Grand Horizons, and we look forward to additional ones to come.

Zephyrhills’ police have a hairy, happy situation

By Tom Jackson

tjackson@lakerlutznews.com

P

eople of Zephyrhills: Do not adjust your eyewear. You can believe your eyes.The facial hair you’ve noticed on your policemen is not an illusion or a sign it’s time to change your prescription.

In a scheme to raise a treasury for an awards banquet in January, the department has altered its position against hirsute cops, meaning, at least through the end of the year, you’re going to be seeing more than a few beards on the boys in blue.

And Officer Caleb Rice, for one, couldn’t be happier.

Mere weeks ago you wouldn’t have guessed, but thickly thatched faces have been part of Rice’s family tradition for, literally, as long as he can remember.

“I have never seen my father’s face,” Rice says, flipping through smartphone photos until he arrives at the image of a proud man sporting a beard the color of a bronze statue, cooing into a baby’s smiling mug.

“That’s my dad,” he points, “and that’s me.”The picture is nearly 35 years old.

Then, another photo, a recent family portrait. All the men, save one, boast beards worthy of Vikings.Which is appropriate. His mom descends from Norwegians, and there’s a rumor about a family connection to Erik the Red. “We can’t nail it down,” Rice says, a little forlornly,“so I don’t claim it.”

Now, about the bare-cheeked one:That’s Caleb looking alarmingly like Steven Furst’s sweet-faced “Flounder” from “Animal House.”

Small wonder Rice readily concedes,“When I don’t have a beard, personally, I feel like I’m less” — he pauses, getting his mind around the confession — “manly.”

Let’s get this much straight. Aside from soft, beguiling features that promise to age well, there is nothing anyone would consid-

er unmanly about Caleb Rice. Pushing 6 feet 3, he’s built like an offensive tackle: squareshouldered and sturdy, with a low center of gravity. He’s no pushover.

For the first 10 years of his working life, Rice was a truck driver, a profession famously lax regarding codes of appearance.When he became a Zephyrhills policeman about four years ago, however, the beard had to go.

“Maybe I’m old school; maybe it’s the way I came up,” says the town’s Dickensiannamed — for the purposes of this story, anyway — police chief, David Shears.“I just never thought it was a good idea for policemen to have beards. It was part of the image. We were a clean-cut profession, and we ought to look that way.”

In his day, he says, if a patrolman showed up with so much as an overnight stubble, his sergeant would shove a Bic disposable in his hand and point him toward the locker room.

But, with an end-of-the-year banquet to fund, Shears was persuaded by a couple of entrepreneurial subordinates to give bristles a chance.

Here’s how the plan, cobbled together by Capt. Derek Brewer and Sgt. Nathan Gardner at the urging of patrol officers, works:

In exchange for $10 a month, Zephyrhills police are allowed to grow and keep modest, well-tended beards, no longer than 3/8ths of an inch in length. Civilian staff, who are not facial-hair restricted, can buy a full week of wearing jeans each month for that same $10.

Because in his family the beard makes the man, the day the fundraiser policy became official, Rice dropped $40 on his sergeant’s desk, announcing himself good to go through New Year’s Day. In all, about two-thirds of the sworn staff is participating, including all the overnight shift — which somehow seems appropriate — as well as Brewer, a first-time beard grower.

“There have been times on vacation when I didn’t shave for a couple of weeks,” he explains,“but, that’s just ‘not shaving.’ It’s not the same as actually growing a beard.”

Every man knows the truth of that.

At home, the reviews are mixed. While his wife loves it, he says his 9-year-old daughter “looks at me sideways.” Explaining the situation, and also that Mommy has blessed his dashing new look, the following exchange occurred: Daughter: “Do you always do what Mommy likes?”

Dad:“I always try to.”

Daughter: “You’re going to regret that someday.”

Gardner, who, as a sergeant directly responsible for his troops, played the linchpin role of guaranteeing order despite this break from tradition, personifies irony. His cheeks sprout only fuzz.

“The only beard I can grow is a neck beard,” he says, “and nobody wants that.” So Gardner, 32, shaves and donates, donates and shaves, because, “It’s been great for morale.”

Heaven knows cops patrolling beats, even in little, relatively peaceful towns like Zephyrhills, can use some spiritual pick-meup.Truth be told, Gardner says, interactions with Pasco County Sheriff’s deputies during the early weeks of beard-growing season have produced clucks of envy.

“I expect,” says mustachioed Sgt. Billy Adams, a Dennis Quaid double who plans to keep applying the blade until hunting season, “our recruitment pool numbers will skyrocket.”

Rice, for one, couldn’t be more pleased.

While readily declaring,“I’ve never loved doing anything more than I love this job,” Rice concedes giving up the beard he’d had since he was 15 was “a sacrifice.”

With his face once more ear-to-ear whiskers, he says, “When my three-day weekend is over, I say,‘I’m ready. Let’s go.’ ” This sort of happy talk is a rhapsody to those who endured and survived the department’s dark days in 2014 — well before the nation’s current unrest over policing began — and ended only after Shears and City Manager Steve Spina tackled the department’s shortcomings exposed by an external review.

And Shears, who’s still getting accustomed to the idea of patrolmen looking a little like Serpico-meets-Hans Gruber, concedes that cops wearing beards helps achieve one key law enforcement goal.“It makes us look more like the people we interact with,” Shears says.“It makes us look more like individuals, like people.”

See that? Everybody wins.

What’s Cookin’

Gearing up for National Seafood Month

By Betsy Crisp, MS, LD/N Special to The Laker / Lutz News

O

ctober is National Seafood Month, so it’s a great time to get ready to celebrate the nutritional benefits of seafood and smart seafood choices.

For one thing, seafood is lower in calories than other protein sources, that is, if you don’t bread/fry and smother it in garlic butter.

The fattier fish species have a stronger flavor and more of the healthy Omega 3 oils. My advice: Just enjoy a variety of seafood at least twice a week to stay healthy.

Almost anything goes on a Florida restaurant menu, especially when it comes to seafood. You will find a wide variety of choices from A to Z (amberjack to vermilion snapper). Here are some of my personal favorites.

FOUR COMMON FLORIDA FINFISH As a “Florida native,” I learned to fish at an early age and appreciate my fresh “catch

of the day.” I would consider catfish truly the ultimate Southern favorite fish, but mullet is another, which is often served smoked. Red snapper is considered mild-flavored and has a pinkish tint. It can be fried, blackened or broiled. Although I must admit, grouper is my all-time favorite. It has such a mild flavor and is so versatile. It is great served blackened, broiled or chargrilled as an entrée.

A fried grouper sandwich for lunch was my mother’s favorite, and now mine; but, broiled/blackened - it is hard to beat that.

FRESH FLORIDA SHELLFISH Living on or near the Gulf Coast offers many opportunities to go out and harvest fresh shellfish yourself – it will never taste better. Blue crabs are easily caught in traps bated with chicken parts, and are cooked and served in both hard-shell and more common soft-shell state. There are hatcheries for littleneck clams in Cedar Key and Boca Grande, and if you haven’t been to Cedar Key, be sure to put that on your To Do list. It is definitely worth the trip for a hot bowl of their famous clam chowder.

The summer months are prime time for scallops - I count on my brother to keep me supplied. It is actually the muscle between the two shells that we eat, and enjoy the sweet and succulent meat. Scallops often

Here is a sensational seafood recipe from my days as a seafood nutritionist working for the Florida Department of Natural Resources, when I did recipe testing and marketing/promoting Florida seafood in the state of Florida, as well as out in the Midwest:

are served fried, grilled, broiled, and in soups or on salads.

Shrimp is definitely a Florida favorite and they come in many sizes and colors; even Rock Shrimp that resemble tiny, spiny lobsters in looks and taste are uniquely delicious.

Spiny Lobster (our Florida lobster) is smaller than one from Maine, but still delectably divine, and can be cooked and served the same way – a great excuse to visit the Keys!

Get ready for Stone crab claws that are available from October to May. They can be served hot or cold with lemon butter, mustard or cocktail sauce – all delicious!

Connerton Challenge Get out and run around

W

hether you run for fun, or seriously compete in sanctioned USA Track & Field events, the upcoming races at Connerton are ones you will not want to miss.

Connerton is hosting its third annual 10K, 5K and Kids’ Fun Run on Saturday, Nov. 5, at the community’s town center in north Land O’ Lakes.

The course is well-marked and features smooth-surfaced, wide sidewalks that wind through this beautiful, master-planned community where conservation and nature abounds.

The certified, USATF course is for runners who want to record their times and establish a personal best. It is also perfect for those wanting to run for fun and to challenge their personal stamina and distance ability.

“Connerton enjoys hosting these races and welcomes the public this opportunity to experience the exhilaration of an early morning run,” said Stew Gibbons, president of Connerton as well as a longtime resident of the community.

“We encourage you to put on your running shoes, grab an energy snack, and bottle of water we provide before and after the run, and challenge your family and neighbors to join you. It’s a great way to get your friends moving and enjoying an autumn Florida day in the great outdoors!”

Runners receive T-shirts and race medals, and top finishers in all age groups receive trophies. All 5K and 10K runners are entered into a raffle for fantastic prizes, gift certificates,

electronics and more.

With the Connerton Challenge taking place close to Veterans Day, this is the third year that proceeds from the run will be donated to Operation Helping Hand, a project of the Tampa Chapter of Military Officers Association of America.

Operation Helping Hand helps the families of wounded and injured vet-

erans during their stay in Tampa Bay. The volunteer organization uses 96 percent of the monies it collects to benefit veterans and their families.

If you haven’t visited Connerton, you will discover that it is more than a community because it has been designated a “New Town” by the State of Florida and Pasco County.

Although many communities call

themselves “towns,” the criteria for receiving this prestigious designation requires that the community meets specific criteria that includes residential housing, educational and recreational facilities, plus retail and commercial business opportunities that contribute to an employment base within a designated geographic area.

Unlike other master planned communities, Connerton’s master plan is reviewed on an annual or biennial basis to ensure that these criteria are being met in a timely manner.

Connerton prides itself on being an integral part of central Pasco County and offers opportunities for nearby friends and neighbors to participate in community events, such as the Connerton Challenge and the annual 4th of July Nation Celebration.

Also available for community enjoyment is the Conner Preserve, a 3,000 acre parcel which Connerton’s developer conveyed to the Southwest Florida Water Management District in 2003 for preservation of natural systems, water quality and flood protection.

“We hope you come and enjoy the Connerton Challenge, and after the race, take advantage of visiting the model homes of our four well-known builders, Taylor Morrison, M/I Homes, Lennar and Homes by WestBay,” said Gibbons. “You just might want to stay and make Connerton your new home.”

Register for the Run at Connerton.com, or call (813) 996-5800 for more information. Connerton is located on Land O’ Lakes Boulevard (U.S. 41), seven miles north of State Road 54.

Always Use A REALTORÂŽ When Buying A New Home

T

he smartest way to buy a new home is to work with an independent Realtor. “Most people incorrectly believe they’ll get a better price if they work directly with the builder’s agent at the model center,� explains Realtor Allison Vaughn of The Toolbox Sisters in Wesley Chapel. “They assume the price will be less because the builder does not have to pay a Realtor commission.

But in reality, the builder never backs out the commission he has allocated in a home’s price, and simply keeps the money for himself.�

Since there is no money to be saved, The Toolbox Sisters advice is to work with a local Realtor who knows the market well, and who will always put your best interest first. “There are so many builders and developments that it’s easy to become overwhelmed and confused,� said Allison. “We keep the facts straight so buyers can fairly compare the many differences in amenities, HOA/CDD fees, approved builders, floor plans, models and move-in ready homes.�

4 Communities To Compare In Wesley Chapel UNION PARK: Splash pad, pool, walking trails with fitness stations, playground, dog-park Noteworthy: ULTRA Wi-Fi through-

out the community and common areas Price Range: $280s to the $500s AVALON PARK WEST: Playground, pool, dog-park, basketball courts, on site elementary school Noteworthy: Phase two coming soon with resort-style pool, spa, volleyball courts, tennis courts, splash-park, fire-pit, picnic areas Price Range: $216s to the $300s WATERGRASS: Community center, fitness center, covered playground, Olympic lap pool, family pool, tennis courts, basketball court, on-site elementary school Noteworthy: Each subdivision in Watergrass has its own playground and basketball court Price Range: $199s to the Millions ESTANCIA: Community center, fitness center, playground, pool lap lanes, tower water slide, tennis courts, dog-park Noteworthy: Community offers maintenance-free villas with their own community pool and dog-park Price Range: $270s to the Millions Call the Toolbox Sisters, Amanda and Allison Vaughn, at (813) 563-7915 or (813) 756-8688, to find the home of your dreams at the best price, best location and with the most builder incentives.

10 Years Of Growth and Excellent Customer Service

I

t’s been 10 years since James and Dana Spears opened the doors of Cornerstone Pros, and the growth they’ve seen — from 6 employees to over 60 — they credit to their loyal customers and a culture of exceeding customer expectations.

“We’ve accomplished so much because of our many, many loyal customers who value the level of service and expertise we bring to the job, said Dana. “Many customers have been with us for the entire 10 years — supporting us as we grew from just an air conditioning company, to all the services we provide today.”

Dana and James started their business in 2006 in air conditioning and heating. In 2013 they added plumbing services, expanded into electrical services in 2015 and this year started a new construction division working with homebuilders and commercial contractors.

“We’ve been successful because we’ve built our business on reputation and trust,” said Dana. “We are hands-on business owners, and always stand behind the work of our employees. Our motto is to go above and beyond customer expectations, and everyone of our employees strive to make that happen every day.”

This model of trust, Dana explains, begins with their staff. “Most employees have been with us for over three years, and we have techs who have worked here for all 10 years. In the trade industry, this kind of longevity is almost unheard of.”

Cornerstone Pros is very much a family business, Dana explains. In addition to employing six family members, she and James view their employees as part of their extended family.

The Spears family has deep roots in the local community. James grew up in Tampa, and Dana is a graduate of Land O’ Lakes High School, as are her three daughters. Her son is a senior at Land O’ Lakes High this year,

and their youngest begins kindergarten in Land O’ Lakes next year The family’s connection to the community is very strong, which is why Cornerstone Pros is committed to supporting several community organizations. This is the second year Cornerstone is the annual banquet sponsor for Oasis Pregnancy Center in Land O’ Lakes and Wesley Chapel.

And this fall is the third year that the company is a sponsoring two football games at Land O’Lakes High, and the fourth year it has helped buy uniforms for the school’s wrestling team.

Among the many charities that

Cornerstone supports are the American Cancer Society, Operation Stand Down to support homeless veterans, Tighten The Drag Foundation fishing tournaments to benefit spinal cord research, and supporting Xavier Johnson, a former Sunlake High football player who was injured.

“We want to give back to our community, which has done so much to support our business over the years,” said Dana. “This is who we are.”

The next big step for Cornerstone Pros is an expansion at its Land O’ Lakes location on U.S. 41. The Spears are planning the groundbreaking later this year of an additional 6,000

square feet of office and warehouse space to accommodate its growing company.

Asturia Residents Love Its Amenity Center

ew homes continue to go up at a fast pace in Asturia, a new mixed-use, master-planned community in Odessa developed by Hines.

This unique community offers a variety of single-family home sites and home styles, and a unique amenity center that residents are raving about.

Just ask Chad and Sarah Raaymakers, Asturia’s first residents to move into their new home, who were attracted to Asturia because of its amenities.

With over 5,800 square feet of space, the amenity center includes a community clubhouse, a fully equipped state-of-the-art fitness center, covered outdoor living rooms, a luxurious resortstyle swimming pool and expansive lawn areas for recreation.

The Raaymakers moved to Asturia this summer because they wanted to be closer to their work, and wanted their two young children, George and Theo, to attend better schools.

“We love the area and we love Asturia!

We chose Asturia for the intimate feeling of neighborhood, and its real sense of community,” said the excited new residents.

With its modern and unique architectural design, and its central location within Asturia, the amenity center is at the heart of the new community. It’s set in the middle of serene natural wetland preserves, neighborhood parks and open green spaces.

“Asturia is a signature Hines com-

munity, and we worked hard to deliver a new cutting-edge amenity center that sets Asturia apart from the competition,” said Lane Gardner, Hines managing director.

“Our new amenity center is unique, focuses on a healthy lifestyle,

and complements the best-in-class home styles being provided by Ashton Woods and David Weekley Homes. Asturia is truly raising the bar.”

Residential lots at Asturia are some of the most beautiful homes sites in the Tampa area.

Ashton Woods and David Weekley Homes have model homes open daily with on-site agents to assist homebuyers in selecting their next residence.

Both builders offer a range of home sizes and architectural styles to make their home selection and design process easy.

Asturia’s master plan includes retail, office, multifamily and a variety of single-family residential communities tied into the community’s recreational parks, trail network, playgrounds and picnic areas.

Asturia is located on State Road 54, just west of the Suncoast Parkway.

For more information, go to AsturiaFlorida.com, or call (813) 2274148.

New Office and Warehouse Space Coming to Land O’ Lakes

T

he first new commercial office park in recent years in Land O’ Lakes will soon be under construction just north of the U.S. Post Office at Black Lake Professional Office Park.

This development includes a new office condominium building, built in the same distinctive Mediterranean architectural style with terra cotta stucco exterior, as an existing commercial building. In addition, a separate building will offer close to 20,000 square feet of warehouse office space.

“There is a big demand for new office and warehouse space in central Pasco. This commercial development is much anticipated, and much desired, by the local business community,” said Cody Adams of Russell Adams Realty, who is marketing the development.

“Site preparation is underway, and we’re talking now to businesses interested in buying or leasing space, with occupancy in early 2017.”

Office space will be configured in 1,500 and 1,800 square feet units, with up to five offices available. The warehouse space is divided into seven units, with each at 2,800 square feet, including a 400-square-foot office area.

“New commercial growth and development is flourishing in this area, making this an excellent property to own or lease for years to come,” said Adams.

Black Lake Professional Office Park is just 3 miles from State Road 54, and is close to many master-planned communities, including Lake Padgett, Wilderness Lakes, Connerton and Lakeshore Ranch.

“Its central, convenient location makes it exceptionally attractive for local business owners who want to buy or lease space, and for investors who are looking for commercial property that will be easy to continually lease and attract good tenants,” said Adams.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

- Directly located on U.S. 41, major north/south commuter route that leads into Tampa and one of the busiest roads in Pasco County. Daily traffic count of over 33,000 vehicles.

- Excellent highway signage and visibility.

- Easy access to Suncoast Expressway, I-75 and North Dale Mabry Highway.

- Conducive to walk-in traffic, with the post office next door, and many surrounding residential communities and businesses.

- Located close to the recently expanded Land O’ Lakes Community Center, which is packed every day with family sporting activities.

- Quiet professional setting with gorgeous landscaping and ample parking.

Russell Adams Realty has been central Pasco’s most respected commercial and residential real estate company for over 50 years. Please call Cody Adams with questions about the Black Lake development, as well as any other real estate inquiries, at (813) 949-3603 or (813) 503-6933.

Choose Bexley

Where miles of trails lead you home

T

alk about wildly anticipated.

Bexley by Newland Communities, a 1,700acre master-planned community in Land O’ Lakes, is opening this fall and will offer residents a sporty, social lifestyle that makes the most of its natural surroundings.

Located north of State Road 54 at the the Suncoast Expressway, residents from day one will be able to hike, bike, walk and run over 10 miles of adventure trails.

Open spaces include sports fields, two Pump Park bicycle courses, dog parks for large and small breeds, and an array of natural play areas for all ages, including outdoor workout stations by Avid Trails™.

AWARD-WINNING BUILDERS

Pathways will lead to neighborhoods with distinctive streetscapes with townhomes, villas and single-family homes built by Bexley’s six award-winning homebuilders.

Partnering with Newland Communities are CalAtlantic Homes, Cardel Homes, David Weekley Homes, Homes

by WestBay, ICI Homes and Lennar. Each will build single-family homes. Lennar also will build courtyard homes, villas and two styles of townhomes.

The exterior home designs will offer a variety of architectural traditions, while streetscapes will feature tree-lined streets, neighborhood parks and a trail network accessible from nearly every location in the community.

“Bexley will be a unique, vibrant community unlike any other in Pasco County,” said Tom Panaseny, vice president and general manager for the Tampa North division of Newland Communities.

“Nature is our inspiration, not only in the community’s character, but in

Trails are designed by outdoor-living pioneer Avid Trails™, and include a 10-plus-mile, multi-model trail system —perfect for a relaxed pace along the creek, bicycling at high intensity or linking up with the regional trail systems.

home designs as well, with some elevations exclusive to Bexley,” said Panaseny. “We’ve selected this group of builders because we know they will bring our community vision to life.”

Home sales will begin in September, with a grand opening set for October. At completion, Bexley will have more than 1,900 homes.

WELCOME TO THE CLUB

Bexley Club is an action-packed lakefront clubhouse with two expansive outdoor pools (including a lap pool and a children’s splash pool), a cardio-focused fitness center, and

fully staffed bike shop for rentals and quick repairs. An open-air game room will have foosball, Ping-Pong and billiards.

Opening with the community is The Twisted Spoke Café, which will serve breakfast, gourmet lunches, desserts, smoothies, wine, craft beer and coffee drinks. The café’s lakeside view makes it a scenic spot to meet friends and neighbors for coffee, breakfast and lunch.

The café and bicycle shop will be open to residents and visitors.

When residents feel like branching out, Bexley is just minutes from places to work, dine, shop and play.

Its prime location delivers maximum convenience, and its unspoiled Pasco County landscape offers new ways to get fit and enjoy the outdoors.

Families with young children are glad to know that Bexley will be home to an on-site elementary school that opens in 2017, and a future on-site preschool.

ABOUT NEWLAND

Bexley is the fourth masterplanned community for Newland in the Tampa Bay area, joining other the award-winning communities of Fishhhawk Ranch, Mirabay and Waterset in south Hillsborough County. For information, visit BexleyFlorida.com.

There’s been a Molnar at the helm of a local real estate company in Land O’ Lakes since 1981. That was the year Lou and Sharon Molnar opened their company in a small neighborhood plaza on Bell Lake Road and Lake Padgett Drive.

Fast-forward 35 years, and today their daughter, Holly Molnar Ruhlig, has opened Advantage Real Estate Services — same location, but with a brand new face.

Holly has taken the work ethic she grew up with and launched a company with seasoned local Realtors; with a fresh approach in an ever-changing real estate market.

Joining Holly are three family members — her mother, Sharon Molnar Johnson; sister, Stephanie Meid; and, mother-in-law, Linda Ruhlig. Sadly, the family’s patriarch, Lou Molnarr,, died last February.

“It’s been a journey,” said Holly, who is back in real estate after working 10 years as registered nurse and nurse practitionerr..

“It’s wonderful to be working together again, carrying on my father’s legacy. We’re truly a family business, and have created an environment where our agents and clients are extended members of our family.”

Other longtime members are Elaine Northrup in customer service, an employee since 1992, and Karen Hernandez, a broker associate who has worked with the Molnar family since 1994.

Eight other experienced Realtors join them. Holly is interviewing now to add more Realtors to her team to keep up with the fast growth of the area.

“It’s our collaborative approach that makes us difffferent from other real estate offices,” explains Holly.

“Because we work together as a family, we support each other with our individual knowledge and experiences.”

Holly and her sister grew up on Lake Joyce in Lake Padgett Estates, and both still call Land O’ Lakes home.

“W We e absolutely love Pasco County. Our lifelong experiences living here is a big advantage when working with people buying or selling homes in the area,” said Holly.

Her mother, Sharon, who lived on Lake Joyce Drive for 42 years, adds, “There are some homes that I have sold four times — that’s how experienced we are!”

Holly has recently finished a complete offffice makeover, with new flooring, countertops, paint and signage.

She will be spotlighting the offffice renovation at an Oct. 20 open house that the public is invited to attend from 4 to 7 p.m.

“Not many businesses can say they’ve been in the same location for 35 years,” said Holly. “We love the convenience of being in the heart of Land O Lakes, and look forward to showing offff our new look at our grand d opening.” i ” Advantage Real Estate Services is a full-service real estate company repd sellers of residenresenting buyers and tial and commercial propertyy,, primarily in Pasco, Hernando o and Hillsborough counties. It also hass an active property management divisio on with more than 20 homes in its leasse program.

The Benedictine Sisters of Florida helped kickoff Saint Leo University’s new academic year with a Welcome Reception attended by more than 600 new students and their families.

The Sisters set up a booth highlighting the university’s Benedictine tradition, and students were invited to the Holy Name Monastery for prayer, Mass and volunteer opportunities.

The Sisters also introduced their aquaponics program.

All 16 students from the New Tampa Piano and Pedagogy Academy who took the Royal Conservatory of Music practical examinations received the highest mark classification — First Class Honors with Distinction. Each student received an A+ grade.

The exams highlight the students’ understanding of piano study, as well as the faculty’s dedication and hard work.

Artistic vision is the differentiating factor between an A and an A+. Both grades comprise a nearly flawless execution of the performance pieces and a proficiency in musicianship aspects (such as sight reading); however, an A+ requires a student to present a truly felt expression of the repertoire, not a robotic performance.

SPONSORS NEEDED FOR STUDENT OF THE MONTH PROGRAM The Central Pasco Chamber of Commerce has promoted the Student of the Month program for more than 20 years.

Chamber businesses partner with local schools to encourage youth.

In most cases, the schools choose one student each month from September to May to be the winner of a trophy and T-shirt recognizing their achievement.

The business name is listed on the Tshirt, and the schools typically provide the business with the opportunity to visit the school each month and present the award.

The cost of a company to be a sponsor is $250 for the year.

Those interested in sponsoring a school or continuing a sponsorship from the previous year, can email the chamber office at office@CentralPascoChamber.com, or fax to (813) 909-0827.

COMPLEX, from page 1A wrestling, cheerleading and martial arts.

While a few outdoor playing fields also should be built, the study found that indoor, all-year-round sports complexes would give Pasco a more competitive edge in the evolving sports tourism industry.

Sports Facilities Management envisions a 92,000-square-foot facility with six basketball courts, or 12 volleyball courts. The Pasco County Sportsplex also would provide areas for parties, children’s play areas, and flex space for a café, kitchen, restrooms, offices and a lobby.

The complex would serve as a community sports and recreation destination, as well as hosting regional sports tournaments and special events from the southeastern United States.

At a cost of about $16.5 million, the company would create what is described as a “play and stay” destination for family friendly sporting events.

Other sports parks developed by Sports Facilities Management include Rocky Top Sports World in Gatlinburg, Tennessee; Bo Jackson’s Elite Sports in Hilliard, Ohio; and, Myrtle Beach Sports Center in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Company officials estimate that the facility would generate more than 30,000 hotel room nights from visitors outside of Pasco County within the first year. In five years, hotel room nights would increase to 40,000.

The direct economic benefit in the first year would be about $4 million. By year five, it would be $24 million, and by year 10, it would be $50 million.

The company provided letters of intent from four tournament organizers interested in using the facility as of 2018.

Acquisitions LCC, proposes in its first phase to build an approximately 98,000-squarefoot facility, a Marriott hotel with a minimum of 100 rooms, an amphitheater, sports turf fields that could double as an event lawn, a fitness center, trails and playgrounds. Initial costs would be about $14 million.

Eight basketball courts also could accommodate volleyball, dance, cheerleading and other competitive sports, as well as local, regional and national tournaments.

About 36 events would be held annually at the amphitheater, with about $1 million being pumped into the local economy from visitors outside Pasco.

In a second phase of development, a second hotel could be built, as well as five baseball fields and an indoor baseball academy.

The Marriott hotel would cost about $15 million to build.

A 30-year management agreement would be negotiated between Pasco County and Municipal Acquisitions.

Mainsail is the developer of the Epicurean Hotel in south Tampa. RADD Sports built the Easton-Newberry Sports Complex in Newberry.

The evaluation committee reviewed, but rejected, proposals from Land O’ Lakesbased USCA (Ultimate Sports Complex Athletics) and Holladay Properties of South Bend, Indiana.

USCA’s proposal included up to 100,000 square feet for indoor sports and training in three buildings, an indoor go-cart track, a sports bar and bowling alleys.

Holladay submitted an offer to partner with Pasco County in a master plan for about 225 acres of the proposed site at Wiregrass with an indoor sports facility, as well as residential and commercial space.

The real estate investment company didn’t propose to manage the sports facility.

Other good works performed by Saint Anthony School students included donating personal grooming supplies for the migrant community, donating supplies for a baby pantry, and donating kits for children at Sunrise Center.

“This is the Year of Mercy, so we wanted to do something special — caring for the poor, as well as caring for people who do good things for us,” Ottapurackal said.

When the police officers and firefighters visited the school, it offered a chance for children to learn more about the services that first responders provide to the community, she said.

And, the children were able to express their gratitude.

“So we are giving and receiving,” the principal said.“Children are learning how community works. A lot of good things are happening in this world.”

JAM, from page 1A cake fundraiser to even buy a tuba,” he said.

Mathis noted the school district is sometimes able to provide enough funding for two or three instruments per school year.

But, that isn’t enough.

“If you’re only getting two or three instruments a year, but you’re gaining sometimes 10 to 15 students every year — you’re behind,” Mathis said.

The dearth of instruments, he said, has forced the middle school to share instruments with Pasco High School.

“We are constantly shifting instruments back and forth between the middle school and the high school,” said Mathis. “If (PHS band teacher Steve Herring) needs a tuba or a euphonium, he’ll come borrow from me.

And, if I need a saxophone or a clarinet, I’ll borrow from him.”

Mathis said the concert will not only benefit the middle and high school bands,

MARIJUANA, from page 1A There is money to be made in this budding industry.

A Miami-Dade County study recently estimated that each eligible patient would spend up to $3,600 a year on medical marijuana.

Data from the Florida Department of Health predicted that by 2017 there would be about 450,000 patients statewide. That would translate to about $1.3 billion in medical marijuana sales, according to attorney Gina Grimes of Hill Ward Henderson.

Pro-industry data suggests the number of patients could be as many as 700,000, Grimes added.

She and Morris Massey, of the same law firm, gave a presentation on medical marijuana to county commissioners on Sept. 20 at a public workshop in New Port Richey.

“We’re not here to advocate either in support of or against marijuana,” said Grimes.

The data laid out for county commissioners offered an overview of their zoning options in deciding how many dispensaries to permit, where to locate them and what conditions to apply, such as hours of operation and distance from schools, churches and day care centers.

Some restrictions — aimed at reducing loitering — prompted a query from Pasco County Chairwoman Kathryn Starkey.

“Are you saying people who are really sick go loitering outside these buildings?” she said.“Is this unfounded hysteria or based in factual experience?”

Grimes said there was a bit of both.

“People have a lot of concerns,” she said.

but several other school programs, too.

For instance, various Pasco High sports teams — girls soccer team, girls weightlifting, and Pasco Middle student organizations—FFA (Future Farmers of America), angler club—receive 50 percent of the revenue off every ticket they sell.

“We don’t charge them for booths, and they can sell their items and try to make money for their organizations,” said Mathis.

“We didn’t want to feel narrow-minded just raising money for one organization.”

He added:“We have a lot of clubs and organizations that need money.”

Next year, Mathis hopes to turn the concert into a “full-fledged outdoor festival” that draws somewhere between 3,000 to 5,000 attendees.

“This thing’s definitely here to stay,” Mathis said.“Our goal next year is to have one major headliner, and then keep all the bands before it local.”

Tickets are $10. For more information, email Mathis at dccountryjam@gmail.com.

“People have a fear of the unknown. Not knowing, they want to make sure none of these things occur. I think that’s where the regulations are coming from.”

On the financial side, the economic impact to state and local governments goes beyond a head count on patients.There will be permanent jobs in the industry, construction jobs to build cultivation facilities and dispensaries. Consultants, attorneys and accountants also will be hired.

There will be security jobs and businesses that supply cultivation sites with fertilizer, pots, containers and other materials.The county’s utility tax revenues could get a boost from facilities that use high levels of energy to grow cannabis.

And, as a tourist destination, Florida could benefit from accepting visitors’ out-ofstate medical cards for medical marijuana purchases.

Grimes said Florida is predicted to rank second in the country for such sales, potentially reaping $2 billion to $3 billion annually by 2025.

“The economic impact of medical marijuana could grow exponentially when you consider our tourist industry,” she said.

With a favorable vote on Nov. 8, Grimes said Pasco could find as many as 100 applicants or more lining up for permits.

County commissioners recently extended a moratorium on the growth, manufacturer and production of cannabis – from which medical marijuana is derived until Dec. 31, to allow time to craft regulations in the event the referendum passes.

Because of the confusion of how the state will proceed, Grimes and Massey suggested that the county consider another, shorter extension of the moratorium.

Wesley Chapel’s first-year coach finds early success

By Kevin Weiss

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

If the first four games are any indication, the Wesley Chapel High School Wildcats are on pace to have their first winning season since 2011.

Beyond that, the Wildcats (4-0)—the lone undefeated team in Pasco County— have the makings of a team capable of finding triumphs not seen since the early ’00s, when the team was coached by John Castelamare.

The Wildcats went a combined 35-8 from 2001 to 2004, and brought home three district championships.

In recent years,Wesley Chapel has been a bottom-feeder in Pasco County. Since their 6-4 season five years ago, the Wildcats went a combined 7-33 from 2012-2015.

But, under first-year coach Anthony Egan, the Wildcats’ recent struggles appear to be a distant memory.

Egan, a former offensive/defensive line coach at River Ridge High School in New Port Richey, has guided the team to instant success—including a 50-0 thrashing of Gulf High School on Sept. 23.

While many might be surprised by the Wildcats’ blazing start, don’t count Egan as one of them.

“Once I got here and we started to put in the work, I knew we had a good group of guys,” the Wildcats coach said. “We were working our butts off in the weight room, and everything that we’ve asked them to do, they’ve been very good at making sure they get it done.

“I knew they would be a lot better football team than they were last year, and the year before.”

The team’s individual talent is better, too, starting with junior running back Dexter Leverett, who sat out last season after transferring from Eastside High School in Taylors, South Carolina.

The 5-foot-9, 163-pound playmaker ranks

Q&A with Coach Anthony Egan What’s the transition been like going from an assistant to a head coach?

“Being the head guy in charge has its big benefits and its...challenges to the job. It’s a ton of responsibility—paperwork, fundraising— a lot of things…you’re in charge of. It’s been very challenging at times, but, the risk is worth

11th in the state in rushing yards (684), averaging 8.6 yards per Winning Wildcats carry.

A look at Wesley Chapel’s wins so far: “He’s got it all,” Egan said.“He’s • 13-3 road win against Land O’ Lakes High (Aug. 26) a power back, he’s explosive, and • 34-21 home win against Pasco High (Sept. 9) he’s got that top-end speed—the • 42-22 home win against Ridgewood High (Sept. 16) kid runs a 4.53 40 (yard dash).

• 50-0 road win against Gulf High (Sept. 23) He’s just a really quick kid…and he can make cuts in the open field.”

(53 yards, two TDs).

How has senior quarterback Jacob Thomas adjusted from a spread-oriented offense to a run-based offense?

“He’s bought into everything we’re trying to do. He’s getting the touchdowns and stats.

He’s getting the yardage; he’s just not having

to throw 40 times. …He’s all on board with throwing the ball five times (per game) for two or three touchdowns.”

Are you comfortable with the team’s depth through the remainder of the season?

“We don’t see many breakaway runs,” the coach added.“We’ve been able to get good angles on guys and make tackles, and limit those (would-be) 60-yard touchdowns to 15-yard plays.”

Two key cogs shoring up that side of the ball are a pair of juniors in highly touted defensive back Isaiah Bolden and middle linebacker Austen Wittish.

Bolden, a transfer from Bartram Trail High School in Jacksonville, is a consensus four-star recruit, boasting more than 20 Division I college offers.

Bolden’s range and pure athleticism Egan said, is a major deterrent to opposing quarterbacks in throwing to his side of the field.

“If he gets his hands on the ball, he’s gone,” Egan said. “It’s kind of passer beware—if you’re going to throw it over there to that guy, there’s a good chance he gets his hands on it and makes a huge play for us.”

Meanwhile, Wittish—who notched 14 tackles against Ridgewood on Sept. 16—was praised by Egan for his ability to shed blocks and fill gaps to limit opposing running games.

“He…just has a good nose for the football,” Egan said.

The Wildcats don’t appear to show signs of slowing down, especially considering how the rest of their schedule lines up.

With its next two games against Fivay (04) and Hudson (2-1), the Wildcats have an opportunity to remain undefeated going into their bye week on Oct. 14.

To do so, Egan said the team must continue to dominate games from start to finish.

“We want to make sure we set the bar high,” he said, “and keep playing to that level.”

But, they’re freshman, and we want to make sure that they’re getting their reps. “In the program, we have plenty of depth, but week-to-week, we’re kind of stretched thin sometimes. …By the end of the season, when we bring some of these guys up, we’ll have plenty of depth.”

From waterfront views to whimsy, Dunedin has it all Worth the Trip

By B.C. Manion

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

I

f you’re looking to get away for a little shopping, eating, sightseeing or exercising, you may find everything you’re seeking in the quaint town of Dunedin.

Dunedin — which is pronounced Doneee-din — is home to Honeymoon Island, Florida’s No. 1 state park, with its white powder beaches on the Gulf of Mexico.

The town is also conveniently situated for cycling enthusiasts, as The Pinellas Trail, a 37-mile recreational path runs straight through Dunedin’s downtown district.

Other visitors may enjoy a leisurely stroll along Main Street. They can check out quaint shops, linger over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, or indulge in sweets from the candy store or ice cream shop.

Perhaps they would prefer to visit a museum, enjoy fine dining or watch live entertainment — all are options within easy reach in Dunedin.

There’s also plenty to see.

There’s a waterfront marina, a war memorial and public art, among other things.

Be sure to look up, too. If you don’t, you may miss the whimsical characters climbing up the side of a candy shop wall. Or, the giant metal rooster perched on an awning.

Or, the decorative star-spangled banner arched over a street that delivers the message:“Defending Freedom,” and then adds in two smaller, attached signs:“Honoring U.S. Military.”

There’s also a mural titled “Dogedin,” that pays homage to man’s best friend, and a kitschy sign offering a warm welcome to Dunedin.

If you’re a fan of those who serve, or have served, in the military, law enforcement or as first responders, you’ll want to plan a visit to the National Armed Services & Law Enforcement Memorial Museum, at 500 Douglas Ave. Patrons have a chance to see thousands of items on display.

There’s everything from military sabers dating back to the American Civil War, to a sword once owned by the author of “Taps,” to a Japanese war flag and a replica of the death mask of John Dillinger.

There’s a tribute to those who lost their lives in the Sept. 11 attacks; a replica of “Ol’ Sparky” (Florida’s electric chair); and, a jail cell used in the television show, “Miami Vice.”

There’s free parking available at numerous lots around the downtown district.

There are several special events planned throughout the year, too.

For more information about Dunedin and upcoming activities, visit DunedinFl.com.

B.C. MANION/STAFF PHOTOS

With its quaint shops and varied restaurants, there’s plenty to explore and enjoy in Dunedin’s downtown district.

Dunedin is such a friendly place for dogs, some people call it ‘Dogedin.’

This woman and child look like they’re racing to catch a train, in these public art sculptures in downtown Dunedin.

Visitors to downtown Dunedin will find plenty of shops vying for their attention.

Skip’s Bar and Patio extends a warm welcome to visitors of Dunedin, with this kitschy sign.

If you like looking at boats and the water, you’ll likely enjoy stopping by the Dunedin Marina.

When you’re visiting downtown Dunedin, be sure to look up, or you might miss some of the community’s whimsical side, such as these climbers making their way up a ladder on a candy shop’s wall.

This is just one of the colorful shops in Dunedin’s downtown district.

This fountain is one of the pieces of public art on display in downtown Dunedin.

A nightly visitor Teresa Hand-Frezza, of Meadow Pointe in Wesley Chapel, snapped this photo of her nightly visitor to her screened back porch. ‘Freddie,’ as she has dubbed him, has been appearing for two months, will disappear for two or three nights, and then come back.

‘Freddie’ likes to be petted and stroked on his head and down his body.
