Identical twins Kaitlyn and Kourtney Boyette will turn 1 April 10. They were diagnosed with twin-totwin transfusion syndrome during the pregnancy.
Lithia resident Kim Boyette is celebrating her twins’ first birthday with a barbecue dinner. Money raised will benefit the Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome Foundation. A year ago, Kim Boyette faced a mother’s worst nightmare. She was 19 weeks pregnant with her identical twins, Kourtney and Kaitlyn, when she learned they were diagnosed with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome — a condition in which the shared placenta contains abnormal blood vessels that connect the umbilical cord and circulations of the twins. In most cases, TTTS is fatal to both babies. The diagnosis left Boyette with only three choices: Terminate one of the babies; remove fluid; or undergo high-risk laser surgery in attempt to save both. Just two weeks later, Boyette
lay awake on an operating table at University of Miami Jackson Memorial Hospital as she watched the laser surgery via a camera feed. Fifteen weeks later — on April 10, 2012 — she welcomed Kourtney and Kaitlyn to the world. “I remember breathing for the first time,” Boyette said. “An overwhelming sigh of relief and a great dose of humility followed.” One year later, the Boyettes will celebrate the twins’ first birthday with a barbecue dinner to benefit the Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome Foun-

The weekend forecast includes a 100% chance of faithful fun, as Plant City’s First Baptist Church hosts its seventh annual Egg Drop Festival. The church will drop 5,000 eggs via helicopter — much to the delight of Plant City children — during this year’s celebration, which will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 23, at the church’s South Campus property, 3309 James L. Redman Parkway. The 5,000 airborne ovals will join 45,000 more already on the ground to complete one of the area’s largest Easter egg hunts. “We wanted to bring families to our South Campus, and this seemed like a good way,” Bill Bender, minister of children and preschool, said of the Egg Drop’s origin. Bender had seen news stories about other festivals dropping eggs from a helicopter. “I thought, ‘That just kind of seems like an odd thing,’” he said. Bender was able to find a pilot through a church member. The member’s mother worked at Mosaic, and the company helped connect the church with a willing pilot. In addition to the pilot, it takes about 150 volunteers to organize the festival. Bender orders the eggs from a company that employs special-needs adults, Sunny Bunny Easter Eggs. Once the eggs arrive, two assistants unpack and sort them into garbage bags. Congregation members then take the garbage bags home and fill the eggs with candy, bringing

them back before the celebration. The Friday before the festival, a volunteer nicknamed the “stork” picks the eggs up and delivers them to the field, where a crew of distributors scatter the eggs. The egg count has grown from 20,000 the first year to 50,000 this year. Only 5,000 can be dropped from the helicopter; the other 45,000 are scattered before the event by about 20 volunteers. The event brings about 5,000 people to the church’s rural property. The egg hunt is open to children through fifth grade.

DIAGNOSIS
When Boyette found out she was going to have twins, she was thrilled. Her husband, James, was an identical twin, and Kim spent the early days of her pregnancy planning for their arrival and researching facts. During her Googling, she discovered TTTS. “I was too excited and just wanted to enjoy being pregnant with the twins,” Kim remembers. “It said it was rare. So I thought, ‘That could never happen to me.’” Twins with TTTS share abnormal blood vessels, which cause one twin, the recipient, to receive too much blood flow and nutrients while preventing the other twin, the donor, from receiving enough. But at 18 weeks, she went in for her first level-two sonogram and received bittersweet news: The twins, Kourtney and Kaitlyn, were identical. However, they also faced the possibility of having TTTS.

One week later, they were diagnosed with TTTS. Kaitlyn, the recipient, was facing heart failure, and Kourtney, the donor, was anemic and facing kidney failure. The babies were given a 5% chance of survival without intervention. During their life-saving surgery, doctors used a laser to permanently cut off blood flow in the bad vessel connections. With the surgery, the survival rate for one of the twins from went 5% to 90%; and to 75% for both. But the babies weren’t in the clear yet. They still had to hit certain milestones. “First we had to make it to 24 weeks to even have viable babies that could survive,” Kim says. “Next, we had to make it 28 weeks to make it out of the ‘severe’ premature range. Our last milestone was 32 weeks. Once we met that, the doctors just watched in amazement.” The babies were born at 36 weeks and four days on April 10, 2012.
GIVING BACK
As the twins’ birthday approached, the Boyettes decided the only way to celebrate was to use their experience to help other parents also facing a TTTS diagnosis. During her pregnancy, Kim had connected with other mothers of TTTS twins. Some were not as lucky as her. Some had lost children or had babies who are on a strict medication regimen. “About four months after they were born, I really struggled,” Kim remembers. “It was such a big thing how lucky we were. (I was) feeling grateful that they had made it and guilty for the same reason.” The TTTS Foundation was started in 1989, by Mary Slaman-Forsythe, a mother of TTTS twins. Both Boyette and SlamanForsythe want to raise awareness on TTTS. Often, deaths from TTTS are labeled only as miscarriages. Therefore, the statistics regarding TTTS are inaccurate.

Keel and Curley to debut Strawberry Shortcake wine The Plant City winery is using the extra strawberry juice from St. Clement Catholic Church’s shortcake booth to make a new wine. This only could happen in Plant City. Keel and Curley Winery soon will debut a new wine — made from the leftover strawberry juice from St. Clement Catholic Church’s strawberry shortcake booth at the Florida Strawberry Festival. The booth is one of the festival’s most successful — netting about $300,000 following last year’s festival. But, the church also is stuck with the leftovers — this year, about 250 gallons of juice. A parishioner, who lives about 150 yards from Keel and Curley, suggested the church donate the extra juice to the winery. Clay Keel, events and marketing manager for the winery, loved the idea. “We’re really excited about it,” Keel said. “Anything that appeals to people’s sense of tradition does well.”
When making strawberry wine, strawberries can’t be crushed for their juice like grapes. A different process happens instead, during which sugar is added to the juice. The measured sugar levels were perfect for creating wine with an alcohol content of 10%. The experts at the winery added more sugar to bring it up to 12% alcohol. With the 250 gallons of juice, the winery is planning on making around 100 cases. These cases will be sold as a limited-edition flavor, Strawberry Shortcake, during the Blueberry Festival. The winery is making two batches of the new flavor. The bottle price will be $20. “So far, so good,” Keel said about the wine. After the second batch is done ferment-
BLUEBERRIES, TOO In addition to the Strawberry Shortcake special edition wine, Keel and Curley Winery also will debut a new dry blueberry wine during the Blueberry Festival, April 27 and 28. The Blueberry Festival wine has been oak-aged for six months, and only 50 cases will be made. ing, the two batches will be combined. Contact Amber Jurgensen at ajurgensen@ plantcityobserver.com.

National Guard armory to undergo facelift The Florida National Guard Armory on Airport Road will close its doors to public rentals, tentatively, until March 2014. One of the most publicly used National Guard armories in the state will be closing for renovations and remodeling. Construction to the Florida Army National Guard Armory at 4004 Airport Road in Plant City is set to begin in mid-April and is expected to conclude March 2014. The remodel will include a new lighting system on the drill hall floor, said Army National Guard Capt. Kyle J. Richardson. “Reworking the lights will make it more rental friendly,” he said. Other improvements will include a general facelift, including touch-up painting and restructuring of drywall, as well as rewiring the facility to make it more technologically and energy efficient. The remodel is part of a $15 million annual initiative to modernize and improve energy efficiency in Florida armories.
The improvements also will include minor exterior upgrades, including patching up bricks that have become separated and replacing current windows with more energy efficient ones. According to Richardson, the efforts are to comply with Leadership for Environment and Development standards. Old, worn metal storage containers in the back of the facility will be removed and replaced with a 10-bay storage facility. The Plant City Armory has become one of the most widely used armories in the state as a rental space for the public. The armory recently hosted World Wrestling Entertainment affiliate NXT for a professional wrestling event. The armory also has been rented in the past for mystery dinners, quinceaneras and holiday parties. Built in 1986, the 23,000-square-foot fa-

congestion

Festival considers traffic-flow solutions
After a couple of accidents on the last weekend of the 2013 Florida Strawberry Festival, the board is taking a look at different routes. Strawberries weren’t the only draw for thousands of people filling the streets of Plant City on the last weekend of the Florida Strawberry Festival. Back-to-back headliner concerts brought in both a collective of fans — and a collective of collisions. In all, 10 minor accidents occurred during the festival. On March 10, a crash involving five cars on the Alexander Street westbound exit ramp resulted in minor injuries. Later that night, a DUI hit-and-run occurred on Baker Street close to Lemon Street. Not only did the Sunday crashes bottleneck traffic, but also the sheer amount of cars on the road added to the congestion. On March 9, more than 88,000 tickets were scanned, breaking a record. But that total was topped the next day, when about 99,000 tickets were scanned. The numbers don’t include those on the grounds volunteering, media and employees. General Manager Paul Davis believes headline entertainment caused the influx of attendees. “We did have some traffic issues, and we apologize for that,” Davis said. “We had two back-to-back shows. People were trying to leave the earlier show while others were coming for the late show.” The shows on Sunday — Hunter Hayes at 3:30 p.m. and Blake Shelton with special guest Michaela Paige at 7:30 p.m. — were sold out, including the back stands, which hold thousands more of additional first-come, first-serve seating. “We were pleasantly surprised Hunter sold out,” Davis said. “He’s a good performer and a nice person. He was thrilled to have a packed house to perform for.” To alleviate traffic concerns, the festival is looking at scheduling bigger acts on different days. Officials also formed a traffic committee, which will meet with local law-enforcement agencies and those who open parking lots around the grounds. During the festival, a crew flew over Plant City to document which roads were congested for future planning. U.S. 92 was backed up because of parking on many days. Some congestion can’t be planned, however. On one day, an accident on Martin Luther King Jr. blocked that thoroughfare and, by extension, the south entrance of the festival. “We’ve got to give credit to those working the gates and all the police and law enforcement that are out there every day,” Davis said. In addition to the popularity of the headliners, Davis believes the sunny, warm weather during the last weekend was a big draw. During the first weekend, the temperatures were milder and windy. About 60,000 people came to the festival March 3, compared to 99,000 the following Sunday. “We really finished out strong,” Davis said. “Thank goodness everyone got in and out safely. It turned out to be a success.” Contact Amber Jurgensen at ajurgensen@plantcityobserver.com.

relay for life
5
by Amber Jurgensen | Associate Editor
Top fundraising team tees off for annual golf tourney After two years as the top earners for the Plant City Relay for Life, will the St. Peter’s Episcopal Team retain its title? Members of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church on Carey Street had been looking for a good outreach program in which to get involved. When they learned about Relay for Life, they thought it was a perfect way to give back and support their parishioners affected by cancer. “We just got really excited about it,” team captain Nancy Ham said. “Then, it took on a life of its own.” For the first two years, the church team did what it could to raise money for Relay for Life. They sold a parishioner recipe book, hats, baked goods and more. A breakfast was held every year, and many members donated money, as well. Through their fundraising efforts, they were able to raise about $3,000 to $4,000. But that all changed their third year. Another team, Friends of Jim Stevens, had been participating in Relay for Life for about seven years. Stevens had been a parishioner at the church, and his family started a team when he was diagnosed with cancer. Although he died before the first Relay event, the team continued in remembrance of him, until it decided to pass the torch to the church’s team. That included the team’s major fundraiser — a golf tournament. “It was just a really good fit for our team,” Ham said.
if you go 10th Annual Friends of Jim Stevens Tournament WHEN: Shotgun start at 8 a.m. April 13 WHERE: Walden Lake Golf and Country Club, 2001 Clubhouse Drive, Plant City CONTACT: Margaret Stevens, (813) 716-1502 or MEStevens2@aol.com From the golf tournament, the church raised about $12,000. “If it weren’t for the golf tournament, we wouldn’t have raised money outside of the church,” Ham said. This year’s tournament will take place April 13, at Walden Lake Golf and Country Club. New to the tournament will be an award for the bestdressed foursome. Ham’s advice to other teams hoping to topple the church team’s title: “Don’t make it a job. Have fun with what you’re doing because it’s a fun event. Remembering is what the goal is. Yes, making money is the main objective, but it’s about remembering those who have fallen or survived.” Contact Amber Jurgensen at ajurgensen@plantcityobserver.com.

These investigations revealed a sophisticated racketeering and money-laundering scheme stemming from 49 illegal gambling centers operating as Internet casinos.

A protest that began March 3, in Fort Myers marched through Plant City March 15. Escorted by the Plant City Police Department, about 160 protestors from the Coalition of Immokalee Workers carried their signs down major roads in Plant City, including Alexander Street, James L. Redman Parkway and Park Road. The coalition began as a small a community-based organization of mainly Latino, Mayan Indian and Haitian immigrants working in lowwage jobs through-
out the state of Florida in 1993. After Plant City, the protestors arrived at their final destination, the Publix Supermarkets headquarters, in Lakeland. The coalition and their allies protested the grocery chain and want an agreement for fair wages and humane labor standards for tomato harvesters. In addition to Plant City, the protesters marched through Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Venice, Sarasota, Bradenton, Palmetto, Ruskin, Riverview, Tampa, Dover and Seffner.

Plant City cinematographer Brandon D. Hyde earned a spot in this year’s Gasparilla Film Festival. Imagine working 23-andone-half hours in a day. Those are the kind of hours filmmaker and director of photography Brandon D. Hyde worked while shooting his film, “The Moon Child,” which will debut at the Gasparilla Film Festival March 23. The short film follows a young girl, Zoey, who is sick in the hospital. Her father, Thomas, tells her a story of Luna, a warrior girl. Luna is
Hyde’s job was to bring that fantasy element alive in “The Moon Child” as the director of photography. With a $1,000 budget, Hyde used other films such as “The Fall” and “Pan’s Labyrinth” for inspiration. Hyde also drew from his childhood tromping through the woods of Tennessee for the project. His inspirations led him to create films utilizing light and shadow. “I love darker films,” Hyde

The look of “The Moon Child” was inspired by fantasy films.

“The Moon Child” was filmed primarily in a forest setting. commissioned by the king of the land to find a mysterious creature and bring it back to his court. The story has a deeper meaning for Zoey. “He relays his last messages to her, because she won’t be around much longer without straight-out telling her,” Hyde says. The story came about from writer and director Matt Glover, a friend of Hyde. Glover was inspired by 1980s fantasy movies, such as “Labyrinth” and “The NeverEnding Story.”
says. “I love when you can tell a story and use light and shadows to tell a character’s story. In dark moments, you can really know someone. I love to manipulate the lighting to make the audience feel what the character feels.” For “The Moon Child,” the crew shot at a University of South Florida campus training room for their hospital scenes and at a 4,000-acre ranch for the wooded scenes in August 2012. Of course, no film is complete without some
drama. While shooting in the woods, the crew had set up three generators. On the first day, one generator went down. Another died the second day. “That was stressful,” Hyde says. “I was trying not to blow the fuse on the last one.” Hyde and the crew managed to pull it off and turn it into the success it is today. As well as making an appearance in the Gasparilla Film Festival, the film was also shown at Southeastern University in Lakeland. In addition to filming “The Moon Child,” Hyde has worked on three other short films in the past year. He started “The Blood and The Burn” in July on a $500 budget. The short is a psychological thriller and is still in post-production. During a 48-hour film festival, Hyde worked on “Robbin’ Robin,” a comingof-age comedy short. At the beginning of the two days, they were given a genre, some lines, a character and a prop to use in their film, which cost them just $200 to make. For “Brush,” Hyde had a bigger budget of $10,000 for a three-day shoot. “We felt very strongly about this and wanted it to look the most professional,” Hyde says. “This could be the next stepping stone to a feature or a bigger budget.” The story is raw with the emotional pain of divorce. The crew rented a Red Epic, the camera used to shoot “The Hobbit.” “I want people to

understand that the films, TV shows, commercials they watch — it takes 30 seconds to watch a commercial or two hours (for) a movie — and that’s all you get,” Hyde said. “But the amount of work that goes into it — there’s a reason the credits are so long at the end.” Hyde didn’t start watching movies until he was about 18. But when he started, he fell in love with them. “The first time I made a movie, I had no idea what I was doing,” Hyde wrote in his blog. “I don’t even remember the camera I used or how I even edited it. I just know that when I finished it, I never felt so accomplished in anything in my life.” Floating around from school to school, major to major, Hyde realized he could get a degree in his passion. In 2007, he graduated from Southeastern University. “I was into music, I was into theater, I was into directing,” Hyde says. “All those things that I always liked were combined into one thing.” Hyde has worked on 35 different projects. He even went to Los Angeles for four months in 2009 and worked on 11 films, directing two and acting as director of photography on the others. Making the choice to move back to Florida to be with his wife and family, Hyde hasn’t given up his love of film. “I’m still learning, but I’m coming along,” Hyde says. “My goal is to win an Oscar. As weird as it sounds from some kid from Eastern Tennessee, but I want to be one of the greats.” Contact Amber Jurgensen at ajurgensen@ plantcityobserver. com.

So often, I have wanted things my way, on my schedule, and wanted all messes to be quickly picked up and put away. When things did not go my way, I had a spiritual tempter-tantrum. As I sulked through the sermon, I realized I had been so busy lately that I had not been taking the time to listen to God’s word. I was so busy seeking things that I wanted, my plans, my agenda and living by my fragile mood. Because of selfish stubbornness, I had chosen the hard way every day when Jesus is inviting me to follow His easy way. I sat in my work cube and spent the next hour listening to praise music and studying His word. His Word became caffeine to my soul and awakened my sleeping calloused heart to the gentle touch of His presence. A captured heart by God always yields a tender spirit.

SHOW ME THE MAUNEY
Club baseball offers plenty of talent, competition With so many leagues and levels in the sports world, it is easy and understandable to get confused. Club baseball is a sport that I find many don’t completely understand. With Plant City building a reputation for being the home of spring training for collegiate club baseball, it’s important to clear up some questions some may have, and as someone who actually played a year of collegiate club baseball, I’m happy to do just that. The first thing MATT is club baseball MAUNEY is separate from NCAA baseball. The teams you will see playing this month at Mike E. Sansone Park are not the same ones that will play in Omaha, Neb., on ESPN for the College World Series. Club baseball teams generally carry the same school name and mascot as their NCAA counterpart, but club teams are not sanctioned NCAA teams. Players are non-scholarship athletes, and teams usually have significantly lower budgets. Given my experience, the year I played for GSU, we had to supply our own equipment and coordinate travel among the players. That’s right — no matching bat bags and no fancy charter buses or planes for travel. If we were lucky, we were able to borrow one of the school’s vans for road trips, because we were an officially recognized student organization/club. We wouldn’t play as many games as the NCAA team, mainly because we couldn’t afford it. Still, we would practice several times a week to play just a few regular season games in a season. Which brings me to my next point: the dedication level seen in club baseball. It’s something Dave Townsend (see story at right) noticed when he first discovered club baseball. The athletes who play college club baseball do it because they love the game. As someone who knows what that means, let me assure you — it is a serious thing. I can admit the reason I only played one year was my dedication level wasn’t as high as others on my team. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy my time traveling, playing and practicing with my

playing for a cause by Matt Mauney | Associate Editor
Sentinels host Cleveland Saturday The Tampa Bay Sentinels will open their home schedule in Plant City Saturday against the Cleveland Warriors. The Tampa Bay Sentinels have found a home in Plant City. Now, they are asking for the community’s support for a great cause. The Sentinels, a full-contact public safety football team and non-profit charity organization, chose to have its two regular season home games in Plant City at the Otis M. Andrews Sports Complex, after playing at Skyway Park in Tampa in previous seasons.
“We saw an opportunity to play in Plant City, and it was a great fit,” said head coach Jim Gaczewski. “The facilities there are great, and it’s a family-oriented area, so we hope people will come out and support us and the charity.” The Sentinels have been a longtime supporter of the MacDonald Training Center, which has locations in Plant City and Tampa. Founded in 1953, the center pro-
vides educational, vocational and residential supports for people with disabilities. The Sentinels will make their full-contact debut in Plant City Saturday when they host the Cleveland Warriors, a public safety team from Cleveland, Ohio. It will be the first time the Sentinels have faced the Warriors, who will be playing to raise money for their own local charity.
EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
The Sentinels will play their final home game April 6, against the Orlando Guardians. Both games are set be begin at 1 p.m., and tickets are $7. Children 12 and under are free, as well as anyone with a military ID and those who are disabled. On Jan. 12, the Sentinels played a charity flag football game against the St. Pete Green Machine at Otis M. Andrews. Money raised by that event also benefited MacDonald Training Center.

Fan’s Favorite
Dave Townsend, 77, will go watch any game that fits into his schedule but is partial to teams from his home state of Indiana.
For four years, resident Dave Townsend has enjoyed taking in the ‘best kept secret in Plant City.’ If you’ve been to Mike E. Sansone Park in the month of March in the last few years, chances are you’ve spotted Dave Townsend. Townsend can be found sitting in a foldable armchair and wearing his favorite Panama Jack or Tommy Bahama hat. He’s taking in the sights and sounds of college club baseball spring training, which has called Plant City home since 2010. “I found it by accident,” Townsend said. A self-proclaimed baseball and athletic junkie, Townsend got his first taste of college club baseball when he was out watching Little League games. “I saw teams down at one of the fields that were of older age, so I walked over and investigated,” he said. “I found club baseball, and I
was hooked.” Townsend has attended dozens of games since. In fact, he can be found watching the games more often than not throughout each March, when club teams from colleges around the country spend their spring breaks in Plant City and play free exhibition games. “The price is right, and it’s just a great thing to see,” he said.
SPORTS FAMILY
Sports have been a big part of Townsend’s life. He played baseball, football and basketball at Taylor University, near his hometown in Indiana, and later played baseball and basketball in the United States Army. His son, Dave Jr., was also a three-sport athlete, and Townsend regularly attended his
Little League games when the family lived in Pennsylvania. After retiring from a human resources job for a glass-manufacturing company, Dave and Connie, his wife of nearly 55 years, moved in 1994, from Oklahoma to Plant City. Dave Jr. had been working in Tampa after transferring, and his father had former coworkers and friends who found homes in Plant City. “We always said that we were going to retire in South Carolina and never in Florida,” Townsend said. “Here we are since 1994, loving every minute of it.” Townsend’s grandson, Cameron, played Little League here in Plant City. Now 17, Cameron helps with local Little League teams and with baseball camps at the University of South Florida.

TEAM OF HEROES
But for Townsend, it never gets old. “If they played 24 hours a day, you’d probably see me here for a good part of that day if not all day,” he said.
The Sentinels comprises members of law enforcement, corrections, probation/parole officers, firefighters, paramedics/EMTs and members of the military from five counties around Tampa Bay. Notable members include Tim Titus, an Armwood High alum, and Ben Williams, an officer with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, who played four years at running back for the University of South Florida. “I just enjoy the camaraderie that all the players have,” Williams said. “I’ve met some guys that I work out with now. I like that we play for a charity and enjoy how seriously the guys on the team take it.” Williams is just one of the talented players that straps on pads for the Sentinels, which formed in 2008 and are the third public-safety team to form in Tampa Bay, being proceeded by the Tampa Bay Guardians, now based in Sentinels vs. Orlando, and the Tampa Cleveland Bay Posse.

LOVE OF THE GAME
Townsend had no knowledge of club baseball before stumbling on it four years ago. Confused at first, thinking the teams were NCAA representatives, Townsend learned they were non-scholarship student-athletes whose teams were not necessarily sponsored or funded by the schools branded across their chests. “I love baseball, but the thing that impresses me the most is that these young men love baseball the way they do,” he said, noting that some of the teams make 20-plus hour trips to Plant City by van or bus to play the game they love. “The way down is the good news,” he said. “The bad news is having to make that trip back.” Townsend also said he admires the dedication and passion he sees in the young athletes. “They’re not paid money; they play it for the love of the game,” he said. “I’m impressed by the caliber and quality of the professionalism I see out here. They’re just good, wholesome kids. The way they carry themselves, mom and dad would be proud of them.” Speaking of moms and dads,
out his weeks during March. If there is at least one game to take in, chances are he will plan to be there. “He’s really good about striking up conversations with parents, and then they’ll learn that he’s from Plant City and ask him questions — like where to get the best barbecue and where the best places to eat are,” Harp said. With the two-year contract up in 2013, Harp said the city and CollClubSports have agreed upon another year, making 2014 the fifth consecutive year spring training will be held in Plant City. The event coincides with the NCBA World Series, which has been held recently at the University of Tampa in May. Townsend hopes spring training will continue in Plant City for years to come. “Selfishly, I hope it never leaves,” he said. “I look forward to it every year.” Harp said she hopes Townsend will inspire other locals to take in games. “We want this to be a community event and would love for more locals to come out,” Harp said. “When we’re out here and Little League games are going on, the teams will walk over and see how big the players are and then realize, ‘Wow, that’s Indiana,’ or, ‘Look, there’s Ohio State.’ You see their faces light up, and that’s what I really enjoy out of it.” Contact Matt Mauney at mmauney@plantcityobserver.com.
Townsend has met plenty of parents and grandparents of club players in the last four years. One moment that stands out for Townsend is when he met a couple from Indianapolis. They instantly connected with the Indiana ties, only to find out that connection went even deeper. Not only had the couple heard of Townsend’s hometown of Upland, but the gentleman, Lou, does business there with his engineering company and has Townsend’s niece, Jane Rockwell, as a contact in that area. “From that relationship, I see them every year when they come back,” Townsend said. “Unfortunately, their son is a senior this year and isn’t playing on the club team anymore.”
PLANT CITY LIAISON
Director of Spring Training Operations Savannah Harp noticed Townsend four years ago during a game. “The very first year, I noticed him with his chair, going around to the different games, so I assumed he wasn’t specifically with one of the teams,” Harp said. A year or two later, Harp recognized him again, and they struck up a conversation. “He asked me if he could get a printed schedule, and I went in and printed him one,” she said. “Now, every year, on the first day, I hand him a full, printed schedule.” The schedule helps Townsend plan
GROUND AND POUND
While some of their opponents prefer to air the ball out, Gaczewski’s team prefers to run the football. “We’re kind of an old-fashioned, smash-mouth football team,” he said. “A lot of teams predominately throw, but we like to control the clock on the ground. If it takes us 12 minutes to move down the field and score a touchdown, then we’ve done our job.” Williams is one of the key members of the Sentinels backfield, along with fullback/running back Forrest Boles, of the Leesburg Police Department. The Cleveland Warriors won’t be the first out-of-state team the Sentinels have faced. Others include Atlanta and Roanoke, Va. According to Gaczewski, playing teams outside the region and state gives them an opportunity to see different styles of play, and in turn, improve themselves. “It’s great playing against upper talent and seeing how our guys match up,” he said. “This will be the first time we’ve faced Cleveland and will be their first game of the season, so it will be a different experience for both of us.” The Sentinels are currently 1-1 on the year, but Gaczewski hopes he will have a full roster Saturday. With the busy schedules of public safety members, road games are sometimes hard to bring out players, who fund their own way, including travel and equipment. “This is just a great way to give back to our community,” Gaczewski said. “Hopefully, we can draw a big crowd and raise as much money as possible.” Contact Matt Mauney at mmauney@plantcityobserver.com.

teammates, but to play club baseball takes significant time — time that I struggled to find with full class schedule and involvement with the student media department at my school. Ironically, my first job with my college’s newspaper was as the beat writer for the NCAA baseball team. Although my time with club baseball was short-lived, I had the chance to get some insight on what makes the sport so special. I saw many similarities in the teams I photographed recently here in Plant City. Chatting with one of the teams, they told me this was their fourth year coming to Plant City for spring training and that they have enjoyed every minute of it. They came all the way down from Michigan in vans. You’re talking about a 20-hour drive, one-way. If that’s not dedication, I don’t know what is. Perhaps the biggest misconception with club baseball is the quality of play. After playing teams such as South Carolina and Florida in college and now seeing teams such as Indiana and Kentucky play in local Plant City parks, there are plenty of talented athletes on display. Several of my former teammates were high school standouts. A few were former players on the NCAA team at my school or at other colleges. If you haven’t had the opportunity to make it out to some of these spring training games, I highly recommend doing so. And if you have a Little Leaguer in your house, bring them along. I know they will love it, as well.

DYLAN ROBINSON It’s no surprise Dylan Robinson is a talented athlete. The Plant City Little Leaguer’s grandfather is NHL Hall-of-Fame player and nine-time Stanley Cup champion Larry Robinson. Dylan, 12, played hockey before focusing on baseball. The switch was a good choice: He already has five home runs in six games and has struck out 19 of 21 batters. He also is a member of the Plant City All-Stars, a team that has won back-toback Tournament of State Champions titles.
What got you involved with baseball? I started playing T-ball when I was really young. Then, I got into hockey and got bored with that, because you had to go through lessons. I wanted to get back into baseball, because that’s where all my friends were. Plant City sophomore Taylor Michael is a two-sport athlete. She also plays goalkeeper for the PCHS varsity soccer team.
Chargers fall to PCHS tennis The Plant City High School girls’ tennis team took area bragging rights with a 4-3 win over Strawberry Crest March 19, at Ellis Methvin Park, in Plant City. Plant City improved to 7-2 on the year,
while Strawberry Crest fell to 5-4. The boys team at Plant City was scheduled to visit Strawberry Crest Tuesday, but the match has been rescheduled for 3 p.m. March 27.
What’s your favorite position(s) to play? Pitcher — because you’re always doing something — and center field, because I have the speed to do it and just have a blast out there. To what do you credit for your hitting success? Just more focus. We’ve been working mainly on my stance and where my hands should be. What do you think about your grandfather? He’s great to be around and to talk with. He’s just a really good guy. Do you ever want to get back involved with hockey? I used to want to, but
Karlie Cowell, of Strawberry Crest, played hard in her No. 2 singles match.
not anymore. I started getting really involved with basketball, and I really like it. Where is your family from? I have a lot of family in Canada. The only family I really have down here are my grandparents, who live in Bradenton. Have you had a chance to go out to California and see your grandfather coach the San Jose Sharks? We were thinking about it, but we haven’t had the chance yet. What do your teammates think about your grandpa? He comes to our All-Star games, and they love him. What are some hobbies you have outside of sports? I like to play football in my neighborhood, and I like to play video games. I like listening to music, too.

hook, line and sinker by Matt Mauney | Associate Editor
Attention area anglers: Youth derby to celebrate 17th year The event begins Saturday, at Gordon Food Service Drive, behind the Randy L. Larson Softball Four-Plex. Dust off your tackle boxes and untangle that pole in the garage. The Plant City Recreation and Parks Department, with sponsorship from Landshark Charter, will host a youth fishing derby for the 17th year in Plant City March 23, at the pond behind the Randy L. Larson Softball Four-Plex. The catch-and-release event is for children ages 5 to 15. Participants will be divided into two age groups — 5 through 10 and 11 through 15 — with multiple awards given to winners in each category. The shotgun start will be at 8:30 a.m., with fishing concluding around 11 a.m. “There is only one rule,” said T.J. Vail, of Landshark Charter. “The kids must catch the fish.” Anglers must be accompanied by an adult, who can assist in baiting the hook or casting a line, but the young anglers must reel in the catch and present the fish to be weighed. At least nine species can be found in the pond, including bass, catfish, mudfish, speckled perch and blue gill. Some award categories include biggest fish, first fish, first bass and first catfish. The event gives young anglers of all experience levels the feeling of competing in a big-time event, complete with a weigh station and photographers
When citywide budget cuts threatened the event five years ago, Vail decided to bring on Landshark Charter — a Lakeland-based company that does business in Plant City — as the title sponsor, continuing the free event. “To see a child come up with the first fish they have ever caught — squealing like a pig because they never did it before — it’s just an ecstatic feeling,” Vail said. “It gives them a great love for the outdoors. They can start picking it up there and start caring about the environment.” Vail is supported by his friend Tom Mahoney, of Tom Mahoney Marina, in Tampa. Mahoney has supported the event throughout the years, despite not having a large customer base in Plant City. Because of this, a Tom Mahoney Big Bass award will be presented for the first time at this year’s event, going to the angler with the heaviest bass. Stingray Chevrolet also has been involved with the event in the past, and their touring pro, C.J. Kenny, is expected to make an appearance. “It gives the kids a chance to see a professional bass-fishing boat up close,” Vail said.
to capture the anglers with their catches. Scorecards are kept and tallied at the conclusion of the event to determine the winners, who receive trophies, rods and tackle boxes. “One of my favorite questions I always hear is, ‘Who is winning,’ while the contest is going on,” Vail said. “I always tell them the same thing: ‘The fish.’”
A COMMUNITY EVENT
Vail called Plant City home for more than 20 years. He met Plant City Recreation and Parks Department Program Manager Deborah Haldane at the first derby in 1996. “I had my boy with me, and I was a city employee at the time,” Vail said. “I saw that she could use some help with the event, and I haven’t missed one since.” Haldane brought the idea for a youth fishing derby to Plant City from a position with another parks and recreation department. “It’s a great community event,” she said. “I started looking around for a place for it, and when I found the pond, I knew that would be perfect.” The derby has been held at the location since. Starting as a bianual event, the derby later grew to three times a year, before returning to the current spring and fall format.
FAMILY TRADITION
According to Haldane and Vail, the most exciting thing about this event is the second-generation participants. “Seeing former participants

Registrations will also be accepted on site at the derby from 7:30 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. COST: Free RULES: Anglers must be accompanied by an adult and bring their own poles and bait. This is a catch-and-release event. Anglers are encouraged to bring their own five-gallon bucket for weighing.
now bringing their kids to the event is just a great thing to see,” Haldane said. “I’m not much of a fishe r m a n myself, but I enjoy watching the kids fish. Seeing their eyes light up when they catch one, I get a kick out of that.” Vail added the event opens the door for many young anglers. “Some kids have
so far, got through high school bass clubs and even earned college scholarships,” he said. “Our responsibilities as adults are to show young people that there is more to life than video games and all these computers.” According to Haldane, the event brings several volunteers, including members of the Bass Masters team at Plant City High School. “It’s a great opportunity for them to earn volunteer hours and teach younger generations about fishing,” she said. As with the allure of fishing, some great stories also have been reeled in from the event. “We had a young lady one year that kept catching small fish with bait her dad would cut up,” Vail said. “When she brought the bucket over, she had 180 fish. She ended up winning for most weight. That’s one that I always look back on and laugh.” Contact Matt Mauney at mmauney@plantcityobserver. com. The Youth Fishing Derby is for children ages 5-15. Awards will be given out in multiple categories and age divisions.
