For locals who have been asleep the last ten months, Wesley Chapel’s first and only rooftop bar is serving food and drinks at the Residence Inn Tampa-Wesley Chapel, which is adjacent to the Wiregrass Ranch Sports Campus of Pasco County.
According to the company’s VP of Openings & Transitions Tom Haines, the Marriott-branded Residence Inn was designed by Mainsail Lodging & Development to be not only the perfect complement to the Sports Campus, but also to the explosive growth area known as Wesley Chapel.
“In addition to sports, Wesley Chapel has a lot of new businesses relocating people here and is becoming a health care medical mecca,” Haines says. “I live here, my kids go to school here and we love Wesley Chapel.”
Mainsail, which was founded by Joe Collier in 1998, now has 13 hotel properties in Georgia and the Tampa Bay area (including the Fenway Hotel in Dunedin and the Epicurean in South Tampa) and six more in development, with 1,100 total employees and more than $200 million in annual revenues.
As for the local Residence Inn, Haines says Mainsail decided to build it because Collier was the chairman of the Hillsborough County Sports Authority, which made an attempt to get RADDSports (the private partner of Pasco County that manages the programs at the Sports Campus) to develop a Sports Campus-type facility there, “and RADD kept Mainsail involved here. This isn’t our usual build, but there was the draw of sports, which presented an opportunity we couldn’t pass up.”
The hotel is the first-ever Residence Inn with a rooftop bar. It is a 128-room all-studio hotel with 65 studio king suites, 24 studio kings with conservation views, 19 studios with two queen beds, 8 onebedroom king studios, 8 one-bedroom studios with two queen beds and 4 twobedroom suites with one king and one queen bed. All of the suites feature a pullout sofa sleeper, full-sized refrigerators, kitchens and all amenities for cooking.
Other on-site amenities include complimentary breakfast, an outdoor swimming pool (that is heated in the winter), a fitness center, 24/7 Market, on-site laundry with washers & dryers, rental bicycles (where the first hour is free) and outdoor grills, as well as onsite meeting space for up to 26 people.
The Wesley Chapel Residence Inn has a new general manager and director of sales, Rebecca “Becky” Hayes, who brings a lot of enthusiasm for the hotel and the community with her to her new jobs.
“I’m really looking forward to getting out in this community and meeting more people,” she says, “especially with the holiday party season coming up. This hotel is great for any kind of social event.”
Plus, if you book your holiday party for up to 100 guests by Oct. 31 for any Sun.Thur. (Nov. 14-Dec. 23), your venue rental (a $500 value) will be waived and you’ll receive a complimentary champagne toast. Skybox — Food, Drinks & Fun!

Whether you or your out-of-town visitors stay at the Residence Inn or not, you should still check out Wesley Chapel’s only rooftop bar to have a few drinks and a little something to eat.
The Skybox’s appetizer “Bites” include Bavarian pretzel rolls with beer cheese, spinach & artichoke dip, shrimp, crab & parmesan dip and the current favorite — loaded kettle chips with pulled pork or chicken, nacho cheese, chili, jalapeños, pico de gallo, olives & sour cream.
There also are grilled southwest chicken, BBQ pulled pork and roasted veggie wraps, salads and a reasonably

By GARY NAGER
Even though I was still living in Hunter’s Green when retired forensic psychiatrist Donald Taylor first started hosting weekly poker games at his home in the same community, I don’t believe I had ever met “Don.”
But, when he contacted me by email a few weeks ago, asking about Neighborhood News advertising rates, I responded as I always do — asking him about the nature of the business he was trying to promote and whether he was interested in New Tampa, Wesley Chapel or both of our markets.
When he said that he was looking to promote his first-ever self-published novel — entitled The Poker Night Murders — I was intrigued. I told him, as I have many authors before, that if he would send me a copy of the book, I’d take a look at it and possibly write something to try to help him sell more copies.
We ended up speaking on the phone at length about the book, which is based both on Don’s weekly poker nights at his home and fictional accounts of murder cases, none of which, he says, were based on actual murderers he was called on to interview and testify about their mental states by either the courts or the attorneys involved in the cases.
Now, although I’ve done precious little reading for pleasure since I started editing thousands of pages every year for my publications nearly 30 years ago, and never really was too big on murder mysteries as a reading genre, I agreed to at least read the first chapter or chapters to get a feel for the book.
The fact that Jannah and I currently really enjoy the Steve Martin-Martin Short-Selena Gomez Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building” definitely made me even more interested in the book’s subject material.
And no, I do not regret my decision to read it...at all. Poker, Murder & New Tampa
One of the things that appealed to me immediately about the book was its
New Tampa resident and retired forensic psychiatrist Donald “D.R.” Taylor hopes this article will help sell more copies of his first-ever novel — The Poker Night Murders.” (Photo provided by Don Taylor) length — only 125 pages. The murders themselves take place over only four consecutive Thursdays, with each poker night played out in a single chapter of this four-chapter book.
The reason is not only due to my attention span, but also because I knew that even if I didn’t love the book, I could get through it in just a few sittings without it affecting my deadline schedule.
The second thing that immediately appealed to me was how Don — who goes by the pen name “D.R. Taylor” in his novel — would weave actual No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em poker hands (with graphic illustrations showing the cards as they are played) and the various players’ reactions to how other players played those hands into the story.
Although I love to play poker, I have always kind of hated Hold ‘Em because I tend to, especially in lower stakes games, stay in as often as possible to see the “flop” cards, just as the character in the book named Cody, who is known to all of the other players as the worst player in the game, usually does, almost all of the time to his detriment.
In the book, “D.R.” says his fictional players decided at some point during the weekly high-stakes ($1,000 buy-in; more on this below) game at the home of the character based on him — retired forensic psychiatrist Dr. Ronald Turner — to only play Hold ‘Em “after the televised poker boom began in 2003.” Don admits that “the stakes and the implied incomes of the players have been magnified for dramatic effect,” noting that

he “thought readers would be more interested in a game where people won or lost $2,000, rather than $37.” Don also goes into detail about not only the rules (for the uninitiated readers) but also the intricacies of Hold ‘Em, which made me realize even more why I never really won playing it.
But, what really hooked me were all of the New Tampa and Tampa references — Ciccio Cali, Acropolis, USF, the Lightning, Bruce B. Downs Blvd., South Tampa, the Seminole Hard Rock Casino and even a local female TV anchor who never got promoted because of Kelly Ring. I don’t know if these references will be lost on readers outside of our area, but it definitely made the book more fun for me.
As for the murders themselves, I’ll admit that I focused on only two of the many major characters from the very beginning (and one of those two did actually “do it”), but Don did such a great job of making you doubt your sleuthing skills that right up until the “Fourth Thursday” (final) chapter, I wasn’t sure whodunit.
And, while I would guess that The Poker Night Murders skews more towards a male audience because of the amount of poker included in the story and the lack of much in the way of sexual overtones, the book was definitely a page-turner for me. Rather than my anticipated “few sittings,” I devoured the book in just two.
I congratulate Don, his editor Kathleen Strattan and his illustrator and book designer John Reinhardt on a job well done. Will there be a sequel? “let’s see how this one sells,” Don says. “But, you never know.”
Spoken like a true mystery writer.
Donald Taylor’s The Poker Night Murders is available online (only) on both Amazon and Barnes & Noble for just $14.95 per copy. It’s not currently available in stores, but, as Don says, “We’ll see about it in the future.”

A CENTURY OF LOVE!
More than 200 people (including her daughter & party organizer, Ellen Fiss, right, and grandson Garrett Fiss, below) were on hand to celebrate Marion Brodarick’s 100th Birthday!

Considering that she has lived in Pebble Creek for almost 42 years and has entered pretty much every contest we’ve ever run in the Neighborhood News the last 29 (and has regularly called our office to tell us about any number of news stories in her neighborhood), I’ve long considered Marion Brodarick to be a cherished member of my newspaper family.
I therefore was thrilled when Florence Bronner, a member of the bridge club Marion has been a part of since she first moved to New Tampa from her native Chicago, called me to invite me to the bridge club’s celebration of Marion’s 100th birthday at Heritage Isles Golf Club (photo, near right, by Charmaine George).
I was even more excited that Jannah and I were then invited to attend Marion’s “real” 100th birthday bash, thrown for her by her daughter (and long-time publicist for Tampa General Hospital and Fox-13 TV before that) Ellen Fiss. The party was held over Labor Day weekend at The Orlo, a 100+-year-old house in downtown Tampa that has been converted into a spectacular event venue.
Marion was transported to the event in her “Birthday Express,” a beautiful 1920s-style car (right), and was escorted into The Orlo by Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin (or, at least, great impersonators of them; there also were Audrey Hepburn and Elvis impersonators on hand). Inside, Ellen had tables of beautiful, signed photos from not only local newscasters, but celebrities such as Julie Andrews, Johnny Depp, Carol Burnett, Jerry Seinfeld and others, as well as commendations from Tampa

Mayor Jane Castor, Polk Sheriff Grady Judd and the Tampa Bay Bucs, plus many other artifacts of Marion’s life, including photos from her wedding to her husband of 58 years, Urban “Brod” Brodarick, who passed away in 2005 at the age of 86.
During her speech at the party, Ellen said that more than 200 people were in attendance (many of whom wore 1920s-era costumes), including more than 50 relatives, who came from 15 states to be there. Former Tampa Mayor Dick Greco (photo on next page) and

his wife, Dr. Linda McClintock, were among those who attended in person, while other dignitaries sent videos, including Santiago Corrada of Visit Tampa Bay (where Marion worked for three decades when it was called the Tampa Convention & Visitors Bureau; she also volunteered for 30+ years at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts), Fox-13 anchors Russell Rhodes and Jen Epstein, News Channel 8’s Stacy Schaible and Josh Benson and others.
There was dancing to the music of the 12-piece Don Juceam Orchestra, a quartet from Palma Ceia United Methodist Church (where Ellen and her husband Herb Fiss are members) who sang all of the theme songs of the U.S. military, a letter from Marion’s relatives in Croatia that was read by her granddaughter Olivia Fiss, delicious food by private chef Justin Fedin and the most wonderful feeling Jannah and I have ever felt attending a birthday party.
Congrats, Marion. We love you!

Amy Strawser had one goal for her daughter Haley and her Wiregrass Ranch High volleyball teammates this season — stability.
That’s why, when the team was potentially facing having to adapt to their third coach in three seasons, Amy, an assistant the previous two years, stepped up.
“These are great girls,” Amy says. “They deserved some continuity.
Led by Haley, a junior who leads the team in virtually every statistical category, the Bulls were off to a 6-4 start as of Sept. 23, sandwiching two three-game winning streaks around a four-game slide.
How important was the continuity to Amy, who has been coaching for roughly 20 years? Even after suffering a stroke last month, she sent practice plans to her players from the ICU of the Tallahassee hospital where she spent nine days.
“I have an amazing manager, Hailey Portieles,” Amy says. “And this group of girls is really mature. They were really supportive and stepped up to run the practices on their own.”
When Amy returned to the sidelines on Sept. 15, her players greeted her with flowers and signs proclaiming their joy at having their coach back.
Amy can’t help but cry when she recalls the moment. It’s a clear sign the relationship between her and her players is a strong one, and that is paying divi-

While it was the exceptional work of Portieles keeping things together off the court while Amy was in the hospital, it is Haley who is the glue on the court. Amy (whose last name was Funkhouser back then) was an All-Hillsborough County outside hitter at Bloomingdale High. She played Division I volleyball at Samford (AL) University and then went into coaching. She put a volleyball in Haley’s hand at the age of three, and the current Bulls standout never looked back.
“I was always around volleyball, and I really liked it,” Haley says. “I like that it’s a mental game, and a smart volleyball player is a good volleyball player. It’s not just a physical game.”
While Amy helped drill home the mental aspect, she also versed her daughter on the variety of skills required to play the game well.
Amy was a 5’-9” outside hitter in college back when you didn’t need to be 6’-3” to stand out; Haley, who is 5’-8” has learned some of those same skills, and then some, leading the Bulls last year with 191 kills.
“It helped a lot (that) she taught me the fundamentals and always made sure I was with good coaches to treat me the correct way,” Haley says. “She made me a better player.”
At the next level, Haley will probably be a setter. She leads the Bulls in assists with 110.
However, as a testament to that all-around game her mother helped her

refine, Haley also leads the team in kills (57), aces (18) and digs (128). It is rare to see one volleyball player lead in each of those specific categories.
“I like to focus on being the best that I can be at every skill,” Haley says. “I’m usually a setter, but I like to focus on doing my best on defense and when I’m hitting, I want to make sure I put the ball away.”
Amy says her daughter isn’t the only standout on the team.
Seniors Gianna Ginesin and Victoria Vizcaino also are key contributors, and Ayanna Klaiber-Norris heads up a junior class that has the potential to do big things next season.
“I think our junior class is going to make some waves,” Amy says.
Klaiber-Norris, a 6-ft.-tall middle hitter, is second on the team in kills and first in blocks, and Marisabel Monserate is a defensive standout. Along with the development of freshmen Ava Sperling, who Amy describes as fearless, and Karen Hill, the Bulls are on an upward trend.
Even in two of their losses this year, the Bulls managed to take two sets off Mitchell and a set off Wesley Chapel, two teams expected to make deep playoff runs this season.
“We’re definitely hopeful,” says Haley. “We have to potential to do well, and I think we will.”
Amy doesn’t want to have to send in game plans from a hospital bed again, but one thing is clear — she will do whatever she needs to do to draw out the potential of her budding Bulls.
“I have high hopes for this team,” Amy says, and then, with a laugh, added that when she was watching the team play via streaming in the hospital, her nurses were asking her what she was doing. “I think I was setting my heart monitor off.”

The Bounty Hunters, a local AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) competitive basketball program, is hosting tryouts for its girls travel teams on Sunday, October 23, and invites girls in grades 5-11 in New Tampa and Wesley Chapel to try out for the squad.
Coach Max Guevara (photo, with assistant coach Jess Cumba), who played AAU ball when he was a kid (“Which probably saved my life,” he says, since he grew up in one of the worst neighborhoods in Philadelphia) and in various adult leagues, played an assistant coach role with other organizations and the feedback he received from other parents was always overwhelmingly positive.
“When you hear; ‘You should have your own team’ enough times, you start to consider it,” Guevara says. “It frustrated me seeing my own daughter go from program to program being told what to do but not being shown how to do it. About a year ago, I contacted the AAU to see what it would take to start my own club.”
Guevara sought corporate sponsorship for 6 months, but says he was told by corporate CEOs and general managers that, “‘No one cares about girls’ basketball’ and that they failed to see the return on their investment. So, I funded the Bounty Hunters out of my own pocket. We ran our first camp this past summer and it sold out in less than 2 weeks.”
The Bounty Hunters is a year-round program, but from March to August, Guevara says his Junior Varsity (JV) and Varsity teams will travel in and out of the state, participating in tournaments against the best their age group has to offer. “We also teach these kids to be productive members of the community through volunteering and teaching them respect, communication skills, self-esteem and even money management,” he says.
The Bounty Hunters JV team is for girls in grades 5-8, and the Varsity team is for girls in grades 9-11. A total of 13 players per travel team will be selected, although the program also offers a Developmental Team.
The tryouts to be held on Oct. 23 will be free of charge. “As a nonprofit organization, we must rely of the generosity of the community to survive,” Guevara says. “You can help us keep this going by making a contribution on our website (BountyHunterBasketball.com).” For more details, please email info@bountyhunterbasketball.com or see the ad below.

Casiani Contreras spent a lot of his time in college drinking coffee.
In between earning marketing and finance degrees from Florida International University in Miami, Contreras would spend his time studying at Macondo, a local coffee shop. He would start his day with a coffee and maybe a breakfast sandwich and, by lunchtime, he was ready for a smoothie and perhaps a quinoa bowl.
“I probably went there 100 times,” he says, and can still remember the smell of the coffee beans as they were being roasted.
Now, Contreras, 29, owns his coffee shop. On Sept. 19, he opened up Macondo Coffee Roasters in the former location of Degajé, in The Village at The Grove.
The night before, Contreras and his wife Anna (photo), his dad, mom and uncle put the finishing touches on the place around 1 a.m. The entire project was a labor of love, with help from his family and business partner Rommel Medina.
In the era of massive chains like Starbucks dominating the coffee market, Macondo is a nice change of pace. The Colombian coffee is painstakingly sourced and brewed — the cold brew is a 12-hour process – and the decor is hip and urban and, like everything at The Grove, Instagrammable. Contreras hired someone from Miami to put the impressive menu on the chalkboard behind the counter. It took two days to complete.
On it you can see a variety of hand-brewed 100% Colombian coffees, breakfast and lunch sandwiches and wraps, paninis, salads, healthy bowls and smoothies.
Contreras made Macondo in Wesley Chapel happen. He said he sent the owner of the original four stores in the Miami area a long email, telling him one day he’d love to own a store of his own. He encouraged them to franchise, and they granted his wish.
But until he moved to Wesley Chapel, because he says he liked the vibe, finding a place to open his Macondo proved elusive. He visited over 10 potential locations, but none of them worked. While he looked, he would often spend his day working (he owns a logistics company) at Degajé.
Then one day, after putting his dream on hold for six months, he found the perfect place. “I was on Google, I don’t remember the actual website, but I saw this place listed for sale and was like, Oh my God,” Contreras says. “I knew it was the one near my house (in Epperson). And, I liked the place!”
So, three months ago, Contreras purchased Degajé and, with a lot of hard work and long hours, turned it into Macondo.
“It was just super meant to be” Contreras says. For more information about Macondo Wesley Chapel (6027 Wesley Grove Blvd., Suite 101), visit MacondoCoffee.com or call (813) 991-5010.

With very few of the repurposed shipping crates at Phase 1 of the KRATE container park at The Grove still left to open, the focus has shifted to getting people who may have visited the KRATEs early on — but weren’t thrilled with the parking, irregular hours and crowds — coming back to check out everything that has opened there since those first few weeks and months.
To that end, special events continue to be added, like Life Essential (Re)Fillery’s Storytime (see pg. 12), in order to keep locals (and others) coming back. Among those events, which have indeed proven to be big draws, were recent 1970s and ’80s nights, with entertainment on the container park’s main stage and costume contests.
The most recent of these was a 1990s night held on Sept. 24, which did bring a big crowd to hear popular songs from that decade (everything from Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys to Nirvana and more) played by the T&T Band, even though very few people entered the actual costume contest (top left photo).
To be fair, though, the ’90s definitely had fewer signature looks as the ’70s or ’80s, but a great time was still had by all, as surprisingly comfortable weather helped keep lines forming outside the Blush Wine Room, the Bacon Boss HQ and many others. In fact, Bacon Boss co-owner Christy Norland emceed the costume contest and gave out a gift card to her popular KRATE.
But, at least one new KRATE did open the same day as ’90s night — Sugar Pop, which is a throwback to old-time candy stores and carries a huge variety of hard candies, chocolates (including chocolates imported from Turkey & Japan) and more.
Sugar Pop is owned by the same family that owns the Bebo’s Cheesesteaks KRATE and is a place you should definitely check out if you have a sweet tooth. The only Phase 1 KRATE not yet open is Café Zorba, which we hope will be open within a week or two after you receive this issue.
For more info about Sugar Pop, stop in at 5840 Grand Oro Ln. or visit “Sugar Pop Florida” on Facebook.—GN

Whether or not you’ve already entered our 2022 Neighborhood News Reader Dining Survey & Contest, you still have time to enter again. We realized, as soon as our first Wesley Chapel entries began coming in, that we didn’t give some of you enough information to properly provide answers to some of the categories in order to enter — and win free dining prizes in — this year’s contest.
The first problem was that we asked you to name your Three Favorite Restaurants in New Tampa (NT) and Wesley Chapel (WC). But, we assumed logic would dictate that one restaurant can not be your favorite, 2nd favorite and/or 3rd favorite place to eat. Even if a restaurant has locations in both of our distribution areas (for example, The Brunchery), that restaurant still can only be named as one of your three favorites and will only be counted as one vote for that restaurant, so please name three different restaurants as your number 1, 2 and 3 favorite places to eat in New Tampa or Wesley Chapel.
Two other categories that caused confusion was that we asked you for your Favorite Dish and Favorite Appetizer in New Tampa and Wesley Chapel. We wrongfully (again) assumed that our readers would realize that we were asking you to name not only your favorite dish, but the restaurant that serves your favorite version of that dish.
Of the first 100 entries we’ve received, however, at least 20 or 30 of them just answered “coconut grouper” as your favorite dish or “onion rings” as your favorite appetizer, without telling us which restaurant actually serves your favorite grouper or onion rings. Yeesh.
And, considering that this is a Dining Survey, we didn’t think anyone would write in non-dining options when we asked you for your Favorite KRATE at The Grove. Although we enjoy Katie Beth’s Boutique and MaeBerry Co. as much as the next guy (or girl), these are clearly not places to eat, which is what we are looking for in a Dining Survey.
Check The New Entry Address!
And finally, although we are happy about our move, we regret the timing — in the middle of this year’s contest — of us leaving our old address on S.R. 54 to move to our new location at the Medallion Corporate Park, also in Wesley Chapel. By the time this issue reaches your mailbox, we will already be at that new address — 2604 Cypress Ridge Blvd., Suite 102D, Wesley Chapel, FL 33544. Therefore, even though we have given the U.S. Post Office our change of address (which means that all mail received at our old location should be forwarded to us), in order to guarantee that your mailed entry will reach us on time, please use the new address (which does also now appear on the entry form).
Of course, the new mailing address doesn’t affect the entries you’ve made on our website — NeighborhoodNewsOnline. net — but if you know you got any of the categories mentioned above wrong, feel free to send us a second entry anyway. — GN
