Dr. Dani McVety, a veterinarian specializing in end-of-life care and in-home euthanasia for pets, recently was named ‘Pet Industry Woman of the Year’ by the Women in the Pet Industry Network. She also was awarded the ‘Advocate of the Year’ award.

But, McVety decided to honor the woman’s wishes.

“I’m looking at this woman, and I’m going:‘Why not? Why can’t we do what she wants me to do?”

“I said,‘Sure. I’m going to do that.’

“So, I sedated him through the blanket, which is something that we normally would not do.

“I gave him the second one.

“It was beautiful. It was perfect. I remember thinking, that’s what all pets deserve.

They all deserve to be on your lap, the whole time. That’s what they want. That’s where they’re most loved,” McVety said.

She decided to create her own business and to call it “Lap of Love.”

A friend and veterinarian — Mary Gardner — joined her to take the business

nationwide, through a network of veterinarians.

Initially, McVety thought she’d be doing more hospice work.

“What I discovered early on was that people wanted in-home euthanasia. Really, what they want is a really good conversation before giving permission to step into that space — and then a really, nice peaceful euthanasia.”

McVety estimates that about 30 percent of the 2,000 calls that come in each week are for hospice consultations. Of those, she said, about 90 percent result in an in-home euthanasia.

McVety said her background in ER veterinary services helped her realize that she has See VET, page 11A

‘Christmas in the Park’ offers a touch of nostalgia

A Lutz veterinarian has been named the “Pet Industry Woman of the Year” by the Women in the Pet Industry Network.

Dr. Dani McVety is the co- founder of Lap of Love, a company based in Lutz that is made up of a national network of veterinarians who provide hospice and in-home euthanasia for pets.

Besides winning the the network’s overall award, McVety also received the “Advocate” award for 2016 from the national group at its conference in Portland, Oregon.

McVety, who grew up on a horse farm in Odessa, didn’t set out to earn national acclaim.

She said her company began as a sideline to help her pay off her student loans.

She hopes, however, it will help lead to a paradigm shift in the way veterinarians work with pet owners in the last days of a pet’s natural life.

“We are trying to change how end-of-life care is done,” she said.

She recently recounted how her company began.

“This woman came in with a Chihuahua,” she said.

The pet was wrapped in a little gray blanket, and the woman knew she was euthanizing her dog that day.

She asked McVety:“Can you leave him on my lap? I don’t want him on the cold sterile table. I don’t want him to touch anything but my lap.”

That approach went against her training, the veterinarian said.

“We’re taught,‘You take him in the back, you place an IV catheter, and you bring him back in the room.’ That’s the most acceptable way of doing it,” she said.

It’s an event that dates back more than half-century, and offers an old-fashioned touch for the holidays.

“Christmas in the Park,” presented by The Founders’ Garden Club of San Antonio, provides an evening designed to encourage families and friends to gather together to celebrate the season.

The event will be on Dec. 4 at 7 p.m., and is expected to last 1 ½ to two hours, said Donna Swart, president of the garden club. It is held at San Antonio City Park, 12202 Main St., in downtown San Antonio.

Festivities will include a sing-a-long for the children accompanied by Dennis Devine and guests. The Sweet Adeline Lady Bug Quartet is expected to be there, and there will be a lighting of the Christmas Cards.

The club plans to offer free homemade cookies, warm cider, coffee and water, and each child will receive a little surprise bag of goodies.

People should bring their own chairs and flashlights.

About 50 lighted Christmas cards, which are 4-by-8 or smaller, will be stationed on display around San Antonio City Park, representing various organizations, businesses and families.

The crèche — complete with nearly lifesize Nativity figures will be a highpoint, too.

In keeping with the club’s tradition, the baby Jesus will not be placed in the crib until Christmas Day, according to Diane Jones, who is serving with Swart on the organizing committee.

She is looking forward to the event.

an apt description for the evening.“He calls it ‘A Norman Rockwell Night,’” she said.

Jones’ niece, Camilla Clancy, is on the organizing committee, too.

Swart, Jones and Clancy have been busy lining up gift baskets for a chance drawing.

Tickets sell for $1 each, or six for $5.They can be purchased at San Antonio City Hall, or on the night of the event at the park.

Anyone who purchases a ticket has a chance to win one of around 15 gift baskets.

Themes include spiritual, home office, garden, tea and others.

There’s also a couple of backpacks. One is for a girl and the other, for a boy.

Proceeds from the event support the garden club’s efforts to keep the park beautiful.

Other highlights of “Christmas in the Park” will include two decorated Christmas trees and a blessing offered by the Rev. Garry Welsh, pastor of Saint Anthony of Padua Catholic Church.

The Founders’ Garden Club dates back to 1961, when 11 women had a meeting in the See NOSTALGIA, page 11A

Adding a new chapter, in a family legacy

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Joanne Kassebaum made a decision nearly four decades ago that has become a Kassebaum legacy.

The Book Shack opened next to the Dade City post office about 37 years ago, selling mostly used paperbacks. It shifted later to a shop on Martin Luther King Boulevard. And now, it is relocated again to 14145 Seventh Ave., across from the historic Pasco County Historic Courthouse. It is situated between Lunch on Limoges and Kiefer’s Village Jewelers.

Kristy Kassebaum – married to Joanne’s grandson, Kyle – is the new proprietor. Like her grandmother-in-law, she is passionate about books and reading.

When she knew Joanne Kassebaum was ready to retire in October, the timing seemed perfect.

“I’ve always wanted to own my own business,” she said.“To keep it in the family name is a fun bonus.”

And, Joanne Kassebaum isn’t going anywhere – just yet.

On weekdays, she operates the shop until mid-afternoon when Kristy Kassebaum finishes her job as a learning design coach with the Pasco County School District.

There is symmetry at work.

Joanne Kassebaum started her bookstore career when her sons were young; now Kristy Kassebaum is doing the same, with her children, Natalie, 4, and Nolan, 2.

Kristy Kassebaum said her husband, Kyle, has fond memories as a youngster hanging out among the shelves and shelves of books at his grandmother’s store.

“It’s cool to think my kids might have those memories, too,” she said.

But, first, years ago, there were 91 cartons packed with books that arrived in Dade City, shipped by Joanne Kassebaum’s sister-in-law

from her Milwaukee bookstore.

She said it would work out great to open a bookstore, and start off with some of the extra books the Milwaukee store didn’t need.

“My boys were at the age I didn’t feel I could work full-time,” said Joanne Kassebaum.“But, this way I was the boss. If I

Pasco County looks for ways to boost recycling

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Pasco County faces a double dilemma.

First, how does the county get more residents to recycle?

The county plans to post a survey online early next year seeking public input on what it would take to boost residents’ 27 percent participation rate in curbside recycling.

Answers to that survey could help to shape the solution to the other half of the dilemma.

How can Pasco find $190 million to expand its waste-to-energy plant at Shady Hills that burns recycled materials and produces renewable energy?

The county doesn’t have that money. It’s not even close.

About $48 million sits in the county’s solid waste’s reserve budget, but that covers any potential expenditure for solid waste.

More recycling could reduce landfill disposal costs and mean a delay in expanding Shady Hill’s facility beyond 2030.

Members of the county’s solid waste department presented options at a public workshop on Nov. 15.Those options include a $2 increase to annual assessment fees.

Developers also could possibly see an increase in solid waste impact fees that would be offset with an equivalent decrease in water impact fees.

The long-range goal is to build up funds for the expansion costs.

“The further we put it out, the more it’s going to cost,” said Flip Mellinger, assistant county administer for utilities.“Either way, it’s not going away.”

A decision on the fees, as well as other options, won’t likely come until more discussion in 2017.

The workshop was presented to a commission that is in a state of transition.

Only three current commissioners attended - Mike Moore, Mike Wells Jr., and Jack Mariano. Pasco Chairwoman Kathryn Starkey had a scheduling conflict and Commissioner-elect Ron Oakley, attended, but had not yet been sworn in.

Ted Schrader vacated his seat on the board for an unsuccessful run for property appraiser. His last meeting was Nov. 9.

Commissioners agreed to pursue a community survey on residents’ recycling preferences. But, a proposed list of questions will be reviewed, with more discussion with staff members on a final document.

Residents probably will see the survey in early 2017 when it is posted online to the county’s website, PascoCounty.gov, and the county’s mobile application, MyPasco.

The survey is expected to attempt to determine how often people use curbside recycling, trash pickups, the county’s dropoff recycling centers and what kinds of

had to leave, I could leave. It worked out beautifully. I never believed I’d stay 37 years.

Never guessed it.”

Books made sense as an avocation.

As a youngster in Milwaukee, Joanne Kassebaum said, “I grew up reading. For a nickel, you could ride the bus uptown. We had a big library up there. I could get my

books and take them home.”

Beginning at the age of 9, she made that journey weekly.

“I will read anything that has a good story line,” she said.

Her bookstore is a haven for readers who want to hold a book and feel it in their hands. She specialized in paperbacks and stocked the store with every genre, including paranormal romance, thrillers,Westerns, mysteries, military fiction and nonfiction.

Prices range from $1 to $10, depending on the original price list for the book. And, customers can get paid a few dollars for books they sell to the shop.

The reading range surprised Kristy Kassebaum.

“We have so many genres I didn’t know existed. Paranormal romance. You need a whole shelf for that.Yes, you do,” she said.“I had no idea people loved Westerns so much.

There is something here for everybody.”

The new shop is a bit smaller than the space on Martin Luther King Boulevard, but it is in a prime spot for foot traffic.

Kristy Kassebaum is making a few changes, but she checked first with Joanne Kassebaum for approval.

Despite less room, there now is a special corner for children’s books. Gift items, including candles and children’s toys, have been added.

An inventory of the shop’s books is being uploaded into a computer to help customers search for specific books.

For Joanne Kassebaum, stepping away has been hard.

She knows the children, grandchildren and a few great-grandchildren of her customers, who are like friends to her.

“I loved that. That was wonderful,” she said.“I get emotional about it.”

The Book Shack is a “little piece of (Joanne’s) heart and soul,” Kristy Kassebaum said.

for a goal of 35 percent more recycling per year by 2030, or 168,000 tons per year.

The current amount recycled annually is about 4,200 tons a year, or about 1.4 percent of all solid waste collections.

An educational program could be done in-house or by hiring an outside communications firm.

Giving carts to residents also is seen as a way to significantly boost recycling.

Bexley buzz isn’t just marketing hype

ate on a recent Saturday afternoon, as the sun’s slanting rays cast their golden autumnal glow, Tommy Brown and his young sons mounted their bikes and set off in search of adventure.

Luckily, they didn’t have far to go, and their destination was known. In fact, from their side yard near the northeast corner of Ballantrae, they’d had their eyes on it for weeks: the BMX (bicycle motocross) park in the neighboring, emerging community of Bexley.

All they needed was for the construction zone barriers to come down.That Saturday morning, in conjunction with Bexley’s grand opening weekend, they did.

Now as the lads on their tyke-bikes jounced over the moguls, careened through the twists and catapulted across the banked turns, they hooted with laughter.

“This is fun!” whooped Alec Brown, 5, fairly hopping astride his bike while, nearby, Oscar, 9, clattered triumphantly over the wooden plank extension that rises like a dinosaur’s frill above the signature banked curve.

Their dad, meanwhile, was discovering the limitations of a mountain bike on a layout designed for tiny wheels. Never mind all that. Bathed in the patina of a fading fall afternoon, the 42-year-old computer programmer and his boys were making memories that would last into all their golden years.

Now, Pam Parisi, regional marketing director for developer Newland Communities, will tell you Bexley is selling a lot of things — houses (ranging from $215,000 townhouses to single-family houses in the mid-$500,000s), desirable amenities, nature-friendly design, abundant get-outside activities and a killer location

A family enjoys the playground during Bexley’s opening festivities.

(no one is closer to the Suncoast Parkway) — but, if you suggested, ultimately, the whole place is about filling your life with moments you’ll cherish, she wouldn’t disagree.

“Bexley is all about being families again,” she says. “It’s all about getting outdoors again. It’s not about having kids sitting on the couch ‘playing together’ with other friends on other couches.”

About that. Bexley comes front-loaded with “boot camp” fitness trails, miles of bicycle paths — one of which ultimately will link to the 42-mile Suncoast Trail — and a variety of parks. Some for kids. Some for dogs. Some for every recreational taste.

The playgrounds, in particular, hold your attention with slides laid into manmade hills and high-rise wooden play structures that, engaging the imagination while challenging young muscles, could be anything from a frontier fort in the Wild West to a magical abbey in Nepal.

No doubt some readers will consider this attention to a single master-planned community overwrought. In fact, the region embracing the Hillsborough-Pasco border from Trinity almost to U.S. 301 teems with similar villages, and many are splendid in

their own right.

It bears noting, however, Newland has a history of reshaping how people regard things.Twenty-odd years ago, when it began carving out a mini-town at the end of a twolane road near a sleepy incorporated settlement in southeast Hillsborough County, skeptics wondered whether the hotshot developers had lost their minds.

Now, as Parisi correctly notes, the area formerly known as “Lithia” is a reference reserved for mapmakers. For everyone else, it’s Fishhawk Ranch.

This is not to suggest the keepers of the Land O’ Lakes flame should prepare to take to the barricades. For openers, at 1,200

acres, Bexley is somewhat less than half Fishhawk’s sprawling 3,000 acres.

Instead, it’s merely to acknowledge the buzz about Bexley is warranted. Parisi describes the new community as Fishhawk Ranch improved by 20 years of experience and evolutionary thinking.

She points out the amenities are frontloaded, and not dependent on hitting a certain number of committed homeowners before artist’s renderings begin to transform into facts on the ground.

From Day One, residents will have access to the niceties mentioned above, plus a cafe (The Twisted Sprocket) and clubhouse worthy of a country club, plus a full-service bicycle shop, the first offshoot of the venerable, nearby Suncoast Trailside Bicycles, run by the energetic Geoff Lanier.

Next door, a cafe — open to the public — serves Bexley burgers (cheeseburgers topped with an onion ring) and beers crafted by Odessa-and-Clearwater based Big Storm Brewing Co. Figuring out what’s going to erupt from the commercial frontage along State Road 54 is another matter.The first hint broke a couple of weeks ago with the announcement of a 110-room SpringHill Suites by Marriott, the first of its kind in Pasco County. Stay tuned.

And, as we have seen, even before the first families take up housekeeping, Bexley is fulfilling its mission: Getting people out and about. Getting them moving.With fresh memories to savor, the Browns of neighboring Ballantrae are happy it’s here.

NOSTALGIA, from page 1A park to found the organization.

Now, club meetings rotate between homes of the members.

“We meet on the first Thursday, at 9 o’clock, September through May,” Swart said.

The park, which sits on a site across the street from the church and Saint Anthony Catholic School, was originally donated to Saint Leo Abbey, which later donated it to the City of San Antonio.

When it gave the land to the city, the abbey stipulated that the church and the school get first priority in the use of the park, according to a historic account compiled for the club’s 50th anniversary in 2011.

Clancy, who now lives in Zephyrhills, grew up in San Antonio and has many fond memories of her childhood there.

She was recruited to help the club by her aunt, and is happy to be involved.

Jones said she’s love being part of the garden club.

“I love this community, and I want it to be beautiful for everyone else’s enjoyment,” Jones said.

All three ladies are looking forward to sharing their seasonal evening with the community.

“We just want to encourage people to come that night,” Swart said.

The Founders’ Garden Club of San Antonio The name of The Founders’ Garden Club of San Antonio refers to the fact that it was the first garden club in the city, according to a document compiled to celebrate the club’s 50th anniversary in 2011.

The name also pays homage to the foresight of the original founders of the Catholic Colony of San Antonio who set aside the land for a park, the document adds.

No minutes were taken at the club’s first meeting, the account says, but those attending the second meeting were: Jeanette Barthle, Stella Barthle, Rose Cope, Margaret Cissel, Alice Epperson, Bobbie Epperson, Jo Ann Franz, Marie Harper, Ruth Pike Herman, Mary Jones, Effie McCabe, Margaret Keifer, Patsy Reynolds, Theresa Schrader and Charlene Spalding.

The following month, Elizabeth Cannon, Blanche Naeyaert, Sylvia Gude and Dolores Nalley joined, and shortly thereafter, Alice Burger, Betty Burger, Sid Corrigan and Mary Schrader joined, the account says.

VET, from page 1A a knack for helping people who are facing a difficult time with their pet.

“I really enjoy working with the people who love their animals.

“In ER work, that translates into helping somebody understand what’s happening in a very short amount of time. They don’t have a lot of time to make decisions.

“Sometimes it is the first time that they’ve heard that their pet is dying, and they need to decide in the next 15 minutes whether or not they want to go to surgery or whether we’re going to euthanize (the pet).

“I started gravitating toward end-of-life cases, the ones that weren’t going to make it, that were difficult euthanasia cases,” she said.

“I don’t want it to be their choice— to do this or that. I want to guide them based on what I feel they want, and within the medical boundaries that I have.

“Instead of saying, ‘Which one do you want?’ It’s ‘Here are the two options, and I need to learn more about what you think is the best thing to do, so I can guide you on which decision we’re going to make,”

LARGO More than than 750,000 lights have transformed the Florida Botanical Gardens, at 1250 Ulmerton Road in Largo, into a holiday wonderland. Visitors can stroll through the gardens from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., nightly through Dec. 31.A donation of $4 is suggested for those 13 and older, while children 12 and under, and parking, are free.

For more information, call (727) 5822117 or visit, FBG.Org. McVety said.

When she works with pet owners, she said, she takes this approach:“Instead of ‘You are making the right decision,’ It’s “We are making the best decision.’

“I feel like there’s so much guilt that gets put on people, where you’re the owner and I’m saying,‘You just tell me what’s best for you.’”

She thinks it’s also important for pet owners to learn to “look at this is the natural progression of biology,” she said.

“There’s a subjective period of time when euthanasia is an appropriate decision.

It’s not your only decision, but it’s an appropriate decision. Before which, I am not going to euthanize because a quality of life exists, and after which, I’m insisting on euthanizing because there’s sustained suffering,” McVety said.

Sometimes, the pet is absolutely ready in her medical eyes, but the family is not yet ready.

“Your first pet, people usually push the boundaries because they don’t know any different.The second pet, people make the decision sooner and sooner, and sooner.

“They know what’s going to happen.

And, it doesn’t get easier,” McVety said.

‘Florida Finale’ event added to lacrosse tourney

By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

A popular youth lacrosse tournament in Wesley Chapel soon will feature even more teams from across the nation.

NDP (National Development Program) Lacrosse announced last month it will debut the Dick’s Sporting Goods Florida Finale lacrosse tournament, held in conjunction with the 11th annual Tournament of Champions presented by Pasco County.

The Florida Finale event, like the pre-collegiate national championship, will feature high school elite and rising stars divisions, as well as 15U, 13U and 11U competitions.

Both tournaments will take place simultaneously on fields at Wesley Chapel District Park and Wesley Chapel High School, from Dec. 29 through Dec. 31.

The biggest difference, however, is the invitation process.

While teams must earn bids to compete in the Tournament of Champions, entry into the Florida Finale is open to all teams that participate in an official qualifying tournament this year that do not earn a national championship bid. One local qualifying tournament — the Derek Pieper Memorial Cup Tournament at Wesley Chapel District Park — wrapped up on Nov. 20.

“Coaches and players from teams that haven’t qualified have been asking for the opportunity to play lacrosse over New Year’s in warm, sunny Florida,” said Josh Gross, NDP’s senior director of lacrosse operations.

“This event will be a great extension of the qualifying tournament series and the coveted national championship platform.”

Ed Caum, Pasco County’s tourism manager, said the Florida Finale add-on is a “no-brainer” due to the anticipated economic boost for the Tampa Bay area.

“We’re going to have more foot traffic through the Wesley Chapel area,” Caum said, “so it’s going to affect...Fowler Avenue all

the way up through Wesley Chapel, and maybe as far north as Dade City because (hotel) rooms are already hard to come by.”

That being said, the Florida Finale likely won’t create a large draw until next year, since the event’s formal announcement was made too late for many travel lacrosse teams.

Gross noted “a few teams” have indicated

they’ll compete in this year’s Florida Finale, but he expects a considerable participation bump in 2017.

“There’s definitely a lot of interest for it. I think in 2017 is when you’re really going to have the impact from it,” Gross said.

“A lot of teams are setting their schedule for next year,” he added, “and they can let the parents prepare for it as an expected ex-

OBSTACLE RACE SLATED FOR DEC. 3 The Insane Inflatable 5K, a run series made up of inflatable obstacles, is set for Dec. 3 at the Florida State Fairgrounds, 4800 U.S. 301 in Tampa.The first wave of runners is scheduled for 8:30 a.m., with additional waves running concurrently through the afternoon.

pense and something they can book further out.”

Last year, the Tournament of Champions alone drew 73 teams — 59 of which were out-ofstate. The 2015 Josh Gross tournament involved 1,533 players and 219 coaches. Additionally, there were about 3,250 spectators on each day of the threeday tournament.

The event’s economic impact for the Tampa Bay area is Ed Caum typically substantial.

The total impact in 2015 was estimated at about $2.1 million for Pasco and Hillsborough counties. That figure, however, is down compared to prior years, including 2014 ($2.9 million) and 2013 ($2.6 million), respectively.

Besides the economic uptick, the tournament offers lacrosse players a chance to showcase their skills against elite competition, exposing their abilities in front of scouts from collegiate lacrosse programs.

“These are all-star teams that travel from different places around the country. We truly get some of the best competition in the world,” Gross explained.

In June, Pasco County and NDP signed a two-year deal (which includes a third-year option) through 2017 to keep the Tournament of Champions in Wesley Chapel.

“We’ve got so much building in this area, including more hotels, that it just made more sense to do a two-year and see what we got,” Caum said.

The tournament has been in Wesley Chapel since 2008.

The Tampa Bay Tennis Team, representing the United States Tennis Association (USTA) Florida Section, finished second at the USTA 40 & Over 8.0 National Championships, held Nov. 4 through Nov. 6, in Surprise, Arizona.

SAINT LEO WBB ADDS THREE DURING FALL SIGNING PERIOD

PASCO COUNTY ALL-STAR FOOTBALL GAME SET FOR DEC. 8

The Saint Leo women's basketball team has announced the addition of three players to the 2017-2018 roster: Delaney Bernard, of Greenwood Village, Colorado; Brandi Bain, of Castle Rock, Colorado; and, Montia Moon, of Long Island, New York.

• Delaney Bernard, a 5-foot-8 shooting guard, has averaged 13.6 points per game and has made 159 career threes on 35.0-percent shooting during her four-year varsity career.

Saint Leo head coach Anthony Crocitto said Bernard will play on the wing, and is a “great fit” to the program.

“Delaney is a top shooter in the class of 2017,” Crocitto said, in a release.“We recruit shooters and expect Delaney to have her shot ready upon arrival at Saint Leo.” • Brandi Bain, a 5-foot-9 wing, is described by Crocitto as having “fantastic upside.”

“Her defense is exceptional, and she plays very unselfish basketball,” Crocitto said.“Brandi is already a solid fundamental player; we expect only growth from her moving forward."

• Montia Moon, a 5-foot-5 guard and three-sport high school athlete, is a “workhorse,” according to Crocitto.

"Montia plays for one of the best high school programs in New York and is certainly well-coached, the Saint Leo coach said.

“She can defend just about anyone at the guard position, and is a strong, quick bluecollar point guard who will give us more depth."

Moon, Bain, and Bernard are the first signees for the 2017-18 season for Crocitto.

The second annual Pasco County All-Star Football Game is set for Dec. 8 at 7 p.m., at Sunlake Field, 3023 Sunlake Blvd., in Land O’ Lakes.The game features the top players from each of the 15 high schools in Pasco County.

Library display honors Pearl Harbor anniversary

By Kathy Steele ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

O

ne day after the Japanese bombed the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed a joint session of Congress and announced a declaration of war against the Empire of Japan.

The surprise attack on Dec. 7, 1941, was a “date which will live in infamy,” said Roosevelt in one of the most remembered speeches in the nation’s history.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the attack, which cost the lives of more than 2,400 people, including 68 civilians. Half of those killed were crewmembers of the battleship USS Arizona.

“It’s kind of like a 9/11,” said Lutz resident Davis Gandees.

It is an anniversary that is important to remember and honor for the sacrifices of the military and civilians, said Gandees.“Americans need to be respectful of what they went through.”

Through Dec. 10, visitors to the Lutz Branch Library, 101 W. Lutz Lake Fern Road, can step back into history through a display put together by Gandees.

He is an avid historian and a long-time builder of model airplanes flown during World War II. In a glass showcase, there are three replicas FRED BELLET/PHOTOS each of Japanese and American fighter planes, Lutz resident Davis Gandees placed items in a showcase at the Lutz Branch Library. He spent hours constructing replicas of Japanese and and bombers, flown on Dec. 7, 1941.

American planes used during the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.

Gandees also provides brief histories of the pilots who flew those planes, and photos, maps and a brief history of Pearl Harbor.

The library also added a display of suggested books to read, such as “Voices of Pearl Harbor” and “The Road to Victory.”

Gandees’ fascination with planes dates to his childhood in South Florida when he lived near a naval base.

“They tell me my first word was ‘airplane’,” Gandees said.

The retiree is a third generation Floridian who worked as a teacher, solar panel contractor and a Florida higher education manager. He also is a master modeler, a member of the Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library Board, and published author of magazine articles on modeling and aviation.

Gandees is a detail man. He spent as many as 50 hours on each plane model.

To get the facts about the planes and their construction just right, he researches archives, maps and histoA Japanese Zero, a Mitsubishi A6M2A, is one of the historic model ry books.

He said he can complete about airplanes built by Lutz resident Davis Gandees. one plane per month.

“I did a lot of modifications, especially the color of the planes.The Japanese history of camouflage was very interesting,” he said.

The research gives him as much, if not more, satisfaction than building the models.

Individual stories of the men and women who heroically fought back against the Japanese attack are highlighted in the display.

Lt. Phillip Rasmussen of the 46th Pursuit Squadron was among the first pilots to engage the invaders in one of the few P-36A Mohawks not disabled by Japanese bombs.

Still in his pajamas, Rasmussen strapped a pistol to his waist.

“I’m not sure what he had in mind with that,” Gandees said.

Keep your pets safe during the holidays The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

The ASPCA offers these tips to help keep your pets safe during the holidays: Be careful with seasonal plants and decorations: • Be sure to securely anchor your Christmas tree, so it does not tip and fall causing possible injury to your pet.

• Avoid mistletoe and holly:When ingested, holly can cause pets to suffer nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Mistletoe can cause gastrointestinal upset and cardiovascular problems.

• Keep your home tinsel-free: Kitties love this sparkly, light-catching "toy" that's easy to bat around and carry in their mouths. But, a nibble can lead to a swallow, which can lead to an obstructed digestive tract, severe vomiting, dehydration and possible surgery.

• Don’t let it glow, let it glow, let it glow: Do not leave lighted candles unattended. Pets can burn themselves or cause a fire if they knock candles over. Use appropriate candleholders, placed on a stable surface, and if you are leaving the room, extinguish the candle first.

• Use care with wires, batteries and ornaments: Keep wires, batteries and glass or plastic ornaments out of paws' reach.A wire can deliver a potentially lethal electrical shock, and a punctured battery can cause burns to the mouth and esophagus, while shards of breakable ornaments can damage your pet's mouth and digestive tract.

Avoid holiday food dangers • No holiday feast for them: By now you know not to feed your pets chocolate and anything sweetened with xylitol, but you need to also make sure to keep your pets away from the table and unattended plates of food.

Also, be sure to secure your garbage can lid.

• Serve the leftovers to human members of the family: Keep fatty, spicy and food with bones away from your furry friends. Pets can join the festivities in other fun ways that won't lead to costly medical bills.

• No cocktails for your furry friends: If your celebration includes adult holiday beverages, be sure to place your unattended alcoholic drinks where pets cannot get to them. If ingested, your pet could become weak, ill and may even go into a coma, possibly resulting in death from respiratory failure.

“I thought it was heartburn.”

Do You Know What a Heart Attack Looks Like?

When Heather felt some discomfort in her chest, the 45-year-old mother of four thought it was heartburn.

Twenty-four hours later, Heather was in the emergency room at St. Joseph’s Hospital-North with a STEMI, one of the most severe types of heart attack that occurs when a coronary artery is almost entirely blocked.

The best way to treat this is with a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 90 minutes of first receiving care from emergency medical personnel, but not all hospitals have this capability. Thankfully for Heather, St. Joseph’s Hospital-North was able to perform a PCI and open the blockage. Today, Heather is doing well and sharing her story to help others understand the importance of recognizing the signs and symptoms of a heart attack.

For a referral to a cardiologist: (813) 644-6772 Watch Heather’s story: StJosephsNorth.org

When seconds count, count on St. Joseph’s Hospital-North.
