he average age of girls sold into prostitution is between 12 to 14 years old. That's not a statistic from a far-off country where education and human rights rank at the bottom of the totem pole. It's from the book Human Trafficking Into and Within the United States: A Review of the Literature. Florida is the third-highest ranked state in human trafficking crimes. In December 2015, 95 people between the ages of 15 to 68 were arrested in a human trafficking sting in Polk County. The statistics hit close to home for Zora Millerleile. The longtime Plant City resident began attending the University of South Florida earlier this year, where she heard the alarming statistics. Millerleile has seven sisters. The two youngest are 11 and 13. Now, she’s doing her part to shed a light on an issue that’s close to her heart. She wants to start the first Human Rights Watch, a nonprofit, nongovernmental human rights organization, in Florida.
TAKING BACK TAMPA BAY
Millerleile graduated from Strawberry Crest High School in 2013 and attended Hillsborough Community College before enrolling at USF. She is dual majoring in communication and international studies, which she hopes will enable her to bring a branch of the Human Rights Watch to Tampa. “I’ve been really excited about it,” Millerleile said. “I think there’s a lot of stuff going on in the world, but nobody is looking in their backyard and trying to fix what might be behind them. I always knew the world wasn’t where it should be.” Like many, she used to think that human trafficking was mostly something that happened abroad. This isn’t the first time that Millerleile has tried to make a positive change. Her resume is filled with
Election signs: What you need to know There has been some confusion on where to place and the removal of temporary election signs in Plant City. AMBER JURGENSEN MANAGING EDITOR
With the City Commission runoff election a week away, campaign signs for candidates David Cook and Nate Kilton can be found all over town. There are specific rules for placing signs on public and private right of ways, as candidates are finding. Signs must not be placed on public right of ways or on private property without the owner’s permission. But many signs have been placed on public right of ways or private property without owner’s permission. In an email sent by candidate Nate Kilton to the City of Plant City, fellow runoff candidate David Cook and former candidate Ricky Coronado on Sunday, March, 27, Kilton referred to the sign rules after he noticed signs in the public right of way and next to his signs on private property. He said he had asked permission of private property owners to place his signs on private property. “I want to do the honorable thing by informing you of my intent to contact code enforcement on Monday (March 28) regarding campaign signs placed in the public right of way,” Kilton wrote. “I want you to have the chance to retrieve your signs. I’ve been very careful to ensure that I have permission of the property owner and that the signs are not being placed in the right of way. In instances where your signs have been on private property next to mine I have placed the sign on the ground for you to pick up at your convenience.” After the email was sent, Code Enforcement Manager Tray Towles advised candidates not to remove signs from another campaign if on right of ways or public property. “Signs should only be removed from rights of way or public property by members of the Code Enforcement
Department,” Towles wrote. “If you observe a violation involving another candidate’s signs, contact the Code Enforcement Department.” THE RULES FOR TEMPORARY ELECTION SIGNS: PRIVATE PROPERTY
Signs can only be placed with the property owner’s consent. DO NOT OBSTRUCT
Signs must not obstruct access to public property or right of ways, traffic control signs, bus stops or fire hydrants. NO GO
Signs must not be tacked, nailed, posted or affixed to trees, utility poles, fences, rocks or other structures. They can’t be placed on a public right of way. TIME
Signs are allowed to be posted for up to 90 days and then must be removed or replaced. COLLECTION
If Code Enforcement collects signs, the campaigns are notified. Candidates then can pick up the signs from the City’s Archives Building. If the signs are not picked up within 14 days, they will be destroyed. REMOVAL
Candidates are advised not to collect or remove another candidate’s sign, even if it is technically a violation. GOOD ADVICE
As a guide, utility poles are typically located within the public right of way. Where there are sidewalks, the sidewalk and everything between the sidewalk and the street is within the right of way.
volunteer work, including working in a children’s hospital in Morocco last May and raising money to build stoves for indigenous families in Guatemala. She is an intern for Congresswoman Kathy Castor and a member of USF’s United Nations Student Alliance, Amnesty International and United Students Against Sweatshops. The fight against human trafficking, however, has become one of her top concerns. SEEING A NEED
Once she learned about Tampa Bay’s human trafficking problem, she decided to join a nearby Human Rights Watch, only to discover that there wasn’t one in the state of Florida. Human Rights Watch is an international organization that is focused on the advocacy of human rights across the globe and is headquartered in New York City. In the United States, New York is ranked the fifth-highest state in crimes related to human trafficking. California, where Human Rights Watch has offices in San Fransisco and Silicon Valley, has the highest number of human-trafficking cases in the nation. Millerleile sees Florida’s lack of a Human Rights Watch office to be a major issue. “Human Rights Watch is international,” she said. “It’s the biggest, it’s the most effective. I think a lot of times stuff like that isn’t portrayed on television, but we need somebody watching out for our neighbors, children and sisters.” Millerleile realizes that even if she is successful in her endeavors to bring the organization to Tampa Bay, it could take years. “Even if we don’t get a Human Rights Watch, we need some organizations that are prominent in Tampa,” she said. “I hope the community says, ‘We are watching, and we are not going to let you abduct our children anymore.’” Contact Emily Topper at etopper@ plantcityobserver.com.

WATCH THOSE BRANDS
While the fight against human trafficking remains at the top of Millerleile’s agenda, she also serves as the communications chair for United Students Against Sweatshops, a club at the University of South Florida. As such, Millerleile is trying to get the university to break contracts with companies that don’t grant basic human rights to their workers. Nike, she said, is a top offender. “Nobody is listening to us,” she said. “I’m in a spot where I’m trying to get other students to join up. I’m also going to try to get the campaign to be bigger. It’s 2016. It’s ridiculous that we’re still having to fight for stuff like this.” The school has a contract that partners with collegiate apparel companies. Millerleile has reached out to Judy Genshaft, the president at the University of South Florida, but has not heard back. “She has a lot to deal with,” Millerleile said. “But this is something that’s happening internationally.” Nike has been involved in sweatshop allegations since the 1970s.

SUSPENSION CHARGES The 2015 charges were not the first offenses for City Commission candidate David Cook. He was suspended for 8.4 hours on May 22, 2012, with two charges of conduct unbecoming, two charges of job knowledge and performance and two charges of enforcement of laws, ordinances and police regulations. The suspension originated out of a citizen complaint from 2010 involving Cook and two other officers, Ron Bowling and James Henry. Cook was the only officer suspended, and the other two officers received retraining. Cook was suspended for searching the bedroom of a juvenile on probation without “reasonable suspicion,” according to the State Attorney’s office. The juvenile, who was thought to be friends with the suspect of another crime, was also arrested. It was found that Cook arrested the juvenile without sufficient probable cause. Cook’s procedures were found to be “unbecoming” as an officer with the Lakeland Police Department, according to the LPD.

enjoy it,” Kulyk said. “You don’t appreciate what you can do until you do it.” Kulyk played piano in his college band at Seton Hall University, where he majored in Russian. He taught Russian for a few years at Clifton High School in Clifton, New Jersey. “That was during the Cold War, in the age of Sputnik,” Kulyk said. “At that time, Russian was a very popular language.” When school was out for the summer, he worked as a bartender. “And then I got serious and went to medical school,” he said. “And the rest is history.”

etween 150 to 200 eye patients rotate in and out of Dr. Teofil “Teo” Kulyk’s ophthalmology office on Southern Oaks Drive every week. The Plant City doctor,
who has been practicing in the Winter Strawberry Capital of the World for 36 years, jokes that he’s semi-retired — he only spends 45 hours per week seeing his office patients. “As long as I have my health, I’ll keep going,” Kulyk said. “I have no plans to retire.” PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
Kulyk is largely driven by the work ethic he developed at an early age. In 1949, he immigrated to New Jersey from Vienna, Austria, with his parents. It was the Cold War, and while the North Atlantic Treaty Organization had formed that same year to resist communist expansion, Kulyk’s parents feared the worst. His family left Europe from Ukraine. “My father was afraid the communists were going to take over all of Europe,” Kulyk said. “He didn’t want us to be brought up under communism.” Though Kulyk’s father had studied
medicine in Austria, he had to take a job as a factory worker in the United States. The wages were low, but Kulyk’s parents still enlisted him in piano classes, for $3 per lesson. “I practiced out of guilt,” Kulyk said. “I would rather be playing baseball, but that was their blood, sweat and tears.” Once he learned the piano, though, the instrument became fun. Today, he performs at various nonprofit fundraisers and events throughout town, including the recent Evening of Piano sponsored by the Arts Council of Plant City at the Plant City Photo Archives and History Center. “Once you learn how to play, you
EYE ON THE PRIZE
The summer of 1968 was transformative for Kulyk. He was working as a bartender in the Catskill Mountains when he met Barbara, a Long Island native who was earning her degree. Once she graduated, the two got married. That same summer, Kulyk met a fellow bartender who was in his second year of medical school. Kulyk began reading his copies of the New England Journal of Medicine. Eventually, he decided to enroll in medical school. He pursued ophthalmology after conducting a research project with a mentor who was an ophthalmologist. Kulyk graduated from the College of
Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in 1976 and completed an internship at College Hospital in New Jersey in 1977. That same year, he began his residency in ophthalmology at New York Hospital’s Cornell Medical Center in New York. Every year, 450 applicants applied to the prestigious program and two residents were accepted. Once Kulyk was accepted, he worked between 80 to 100 hours per week for three years straight. “I don’t know how I did it,” Kulyk said. “But when you’re young, you can do it.” After his residency ended, Kulyk moved to Plant City, where an ophthalmologist was in high demand. “I just had to get out of the Northeast,” Kulyk said. For years, Kulyk worked over 60 hours per week taking care of patients, including emergency room calls. Today, he is still partnered with South Florida Baptist Hospital, where he performs surgeries and consultations. His advice to medical students is to give it their all. “It’s just a matter of hard work,” he said. “If you’re willing to dedicate your all to it, then it’s the right field.” Contact Emily Topper at etopper@ plantcityobserver.com.

“When I was a resident, we had to harvest eyes for the eye bank,” Teo Kulyk said. He was responsible for taking the eyes out of corpses when they were in the morgue. Frequently, these calls happened in the middle of the night, which Kulyk disliked. After receiving a call one night, Kulyk decided to remove the eyes from a body before it was sent down to the morgue. When he removed the first eye, blood spurted, and for a moment he thought he had performed the operation on the wrong body. “My heart was in my throat,” Kulyk said. As it turned out, Kulyk did have the right eye — the blood just hadn’t coagulated completely.

Yvonne Barnes is a flurry of motion. Under the pavilion at Marie B. Ellis Park on Laura Street, she quickly puts chafers full of food along a picnic table. It’s just after 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 23, and it’s evident Barnes has been at the park for hours already: balloons and “Happy Birthday!” streamers align the park fence. Cutouts of Minnie Mouse’s signature bow sit atop pink-frosted cupcakes. Guests wear the classic mouse ears. Barnes fixes her eyes on the road. She’s waiting on her daughter, Demetrise Forbes, and granddaughter and guest of honor, Jahanna “Hanna” Forbes. It’s Hanna’s birthday party. The Minnie Mouse fanatic is just a few days shy of turning 2. To celebrate, her family has thrown her the biggest birthday bash imaginable, complete with a performance by dance team United Starz. It’s a happy day surrounding what’s been an unbearable month for Hanna’s family: the little girl was diagnosed with kidney cancer just eight weeks ago. When Hanna arrives, she is given a crown. Underneath it, a small spot on the back of her head is missing hair. She doesn’t care as the United Starz dance team enters the pavilion to perform a step routine. Hanna and her mom are front and center in the audience. The music starts. I got the eye of a tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire. HERE FOR HANNA
On March 11, one of Hanna’s daycare teachers felt something sharp and hard while changing her. She quickly called Hanna’s parents. At the hospital, doctors delivered the news: Wilms’ Tumor. Stage four. “It’s very rare,” Barnes said. Hanna’s family was told the kidney-based tumor was found in only about 600 kids per year. “She has tumors in her lungs too. One is 11 centimeters, almost half her stomach.” Hanna’s sick — a lot. She’s lost much of her hair from chemotherapy and dropped sizes from a 4T to a 2T. There’s a lot of unanswered questions and worry about what’s coming next. But at her birthday party, Hanna’s friends and family aren’t thinking about the future. They’re celebrating with all the people and things that Hanna loves — especially dance. “Hanna loves the arts,” Barnes said. “Her favorite artist is Rihanna.” That’s where Tessie Holmes comes in. The United Starz CEO has been friends with Barnes for about a year
and one half. Hanna’s illness touched her heart. Three years ago, on Christmas Eve, it was Holmes who received a diagnosis: breast cancer. Today, Holmes is in remission, a status she’s had for over a year. She’s transitioning from patient to mentor and stepping in to help Hanna through the long months to come. “I was mostly in a state of shock, because of her age,” Holmes said. “It really touched me. I want to give her security. I want to basically be her security blanket. I just want to be another mentor to her.”
WHEN STARS ALIGN
Holmes founded United Starz in December 2015 with a goal of getting girls out of the streets and busy doing something that would benefit them in the long run. Before arriving at Hanna’s birthday party the team of about 15 girls attended a Faces of Courage retreat for cancer patients. “It was the first time they went,” Holmes said. “They’re doing four more retreats this year.” Holmes’s goal is to get her organization up to 25 kids. While she was growing up, her mother was unable to afford extracurriculars for Holmes and her siblings. As the United Starz CEO, Holmes wants to make her team an option for all who want to join, regardless of financial status. Barnes serves on Holmes’ board of directors for the organization. “All they (the girls) have to do is do good in school, do what they need to do at home, come to practice and have respect,” Holmes said. The girls on the team sell candy to be able to go on trips and retreats. Lincoln Elementary helps with fund-

raisers. With support of the community, parents and Lillie Brown at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center, the organization is able to give back. United Starz sponsored part of Hanna’s birthday party, including the DJ and renting the park. Holmes hopes the extra activities teaches “her kids” about compassion, especially when they meet the people they’re helping. People like Hanna. “I don’t know where she’s going to be at (later),” Barnes said. “This is one of the best days for her now. I just want her to enjoy it.” Contact Emily Topper at etopper@ plantcityobserver.com.

There’s nothing quite like the sight of tall, golden sunflowers in bloom. It’s a sight that Futch Entertainment, the proprietor of the Fox Squirrel Corn Maze, wants to share with Plant City for the next couple of weeks. Starting this Saturday, the group’s Sunflowers on the Ranch event will be open to the public. Guests can walk through a sunflower field and enjoy shopping at the country store, food and games. Futch Entertainment was created in 2012 to promote the Fox Squirrel Corn Maze, which is has held every October since 2012. The Sunflowers on the Ranch event began last year, and the family looks to keep it going for as long as possible. “Seeing the beautiful flowers, they’re breathtaking,” Janet Futch said. “Watching families stroll through, they slow down when they walk through, and they’re enjoying every minute. When they leave, they say, ‘I’ve never seen anything like that before.’” Sunflowers on the Ranch will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 30, to Sunday, May 1, and Saturday, May 7, to Sunday, May 8, at the Single R Ranch, 3002 Charlie Taylor Road N. Tickers will cost $8 for adults 18 and older and $7 for children 3 to 17. Children up to age 2 get in for free. Parking will cost $1. Cameras are welcome at the event. Professional photographers will be allowed in, as long as the Futch Entertainment group is notified by email. Requests for a U-cut have been so overwhelming that the group is no longer accepting them, but flowers cut by the Futch family will be available for purchase.
Pulled pork and lemonade will be served, and the Ranch Store will be open for anyone who wants to buy antiques and other items. There will be other vendors, selling food and other goods, as well as balloon animals, games and arts and crafts stations for kids. “Most of these vendors continue to follow us because they love our family-oriented events,” Futch says. “There’s no alcohol, like with the Florida Strawberry Festival.” For more information about the event, visit FoxSquirrelCornMaze. com or email FutchEntertainment@ comcast.net. Contact Justin Kline at jkline@plantcityobserver.com.

Sunflowers on the Ranch may not be a maze, but Futch Entertainment still has fun with the layout.

SOARING THROUGH THE RANKS
Brosky’s military career began with three years spent in the 82nd Airborne Division. Then he joined the reserve special forces unit in Tampa and went back on active duty to get a qualification for special forces. Brosky later attended Florida Southern College in Lakeland, where he majored in political science and served in ROTC before graduating in 1993. He was commissioned as an Army officer and once again went on active duty. Following his marriage to Patti, Brosky and his new bride moved to Germany, where he was stationed for three years and went on deployments to Albania, Hungary, Greece and Bosnia. “After I came back from Germany, I went through an advanced course,” Brosky said. Brosky became a logistics officer and enrolled in a parachute rigger course. His next move brought him to Fort Bragg, in North Carolina. He and his family were stationed there for seven years. Both of Brosky’s children, Olivia and Jack, were born in Fort Bragg. During that time, Brosky was deployed to a number of relief operations in Central America. “I went to a disaster relief operation in El Salvador,” Brosky said. “I also traveled to Nicaragua for Hurricane Mitch relief. That was a big deployment.” The 1998 storm, which was classified as a Category 5 hurricane, never entered Nicaragua, but caused rain that eventually led to a massive mudslide. During his deployments, Brosky worked as a logistics officer. As such, he was part of the largest and most diverse branch of the Army: logistics officers did everything from baking bread and water purification to working as parachute riggers.

“The Army chose it for me,” Brosky said. “I wanted to be a helicopter pilot, but ended up being a logistics officer.” Still, Brosky was passionate about the work he did. He eventually worked his way up to commanding a parachute rigging company. The work was meticulous and precise, but absolutely necessary — parachute riggers are responsible for ensuring parachutes are properly packed, maintained and repaired. “Chicks dig riggers,” Patti Brosky said. “It’s one of the most important jobs.” “It’s a very small community,” Brosky added. “There were four companies. My company did personnel parachutes and light cargo. Two other companies did repair.” As he progressed through the Army, Brosky transitioned into another branch of logistics as a civil affairs officer.

tour, until he left to go to school to become a lieutenant colonel. He attended the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, from 2008 to 2009. After earning his master’s degree in national security and strategic studies, Brosky and his family returned to Florida. He served as a liaison officer at MacDill for special operation command units until his retirement in 2013. By that time, Brosky had a few wear and tear injuries from his time in the military, and he was ready to spend quality time with his family. “I was kind of limping into the finish line,” he said. “It’s very physically demanding, a lot of it,” Patti added. “He was ready to be home more than he was away. He was gone a lot still. He was ready to see a baseball game or a dance recital or whatever the kids were doing at the time, and not after the fact.” While Brosky never became a pilot during his time in the Army, his dream will soon be realized.

during the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack. He returned home to his family for the birth of his son, Jack, and deployed to Iraq one month later for the first of three tours. “During my first tour, I worked with the British in the western part of Iraq,” he said. “We helped small towns get reestablished.” Brosky was in Iraq for about four months for his first tour. His second tour lasted about a year. There, he was a contract logistics officer. “We coordinated everything from dining facilities to sewage treatment plants,” Brosky said. “That was really challenging. It’s tough to do. Everything is a contract. Here you are in a war zone, working with civilians.” Brosky’s third tour in Iraq lasted nine months. During this time, he served as an executive officer for a battalion that supported a brigade. Brosky was the second in command and in charge of the staff during that
now works for Ground Level, a company that is focused on land restoration. Brosky works on the purchasing side but is attending flight school so that he will be able to fly to look at a piece of property. Today, he attributes much of his success to the years he spent in the military. “My biggest lessons, I think, were being patient and learning how to influence things to get something done,” Brosky said. “You don’t do things the same way with everybody every time. You have to do what works.” Brosky continues to be inspired by the number of people who sign up to serve. “They know what they’re getting into now,” he said. “It’s amazing what kinds of people are serving now. It’s phenomenal ... it’s amazing how professional they are.” Contact Emily Topper at etopper@ plantcityobserver.com.

It wouldn’t be April in Plant City without the annual Tampa Bay Blueberry Festival. The festival, held at Keel & Curley Winery, begins Friday, April 29, and runs through Sunday, May 1. According to the winery, it’s bringing back everything past festival-goers know and love about the event. “Any time you go to a local community that has events like this, or the Strawberry Festival, it brings people in from outside the area and exposes them to this,” manager Faith Pippin said. “This is like a gem in the rough.” The 2016 edition of the festival will feature around 90 vendors, a kids’ play area, the winery’s beer, wine and cider selections, live entertainment and, of course, the ever-popular U-pick. The U-pick will cost $5 per person or $5.25 with debit/credit card. Friday’s entertainment lineup includes the Brian Sutherland Band and blues guitarist Skip Frye. Saturday’s lineup includes the Arthur Z Band, Southern Legacy and Justin Grimes. Mark Barrios will play on Sunday. The big news coming out of the winery is that its new food truck, Railcar 91, will get the grand opening treatment at the festival. Don’t expect traditional food truck food, however. Chef Juan Acevedo, previously a sous chef at Walt Disney World, is just as likely to serve chicken tacos, homemade nachos and guacamole as he is to whip up a plate of lamb lollipops and brussels sprouts. Acevedo said, besides the lamb, all of his ingredients are purchased locally. “I was just ready to branch out and have my own creative outlet,” Acevedo said. “This was a great opportunity, a place I’ve been to before, and I’m from the central Florida area. I looked it up, and it has a bunch of potential. I want to be a part of that explosion, the experience, the movement — all of that.” Named for the first railcar notable Tampa railroad magnate Henry Plant owned, Railcar 91 has spent the past few weeks tweaking its menu and serving some items. Acevedo said that the menu would be finalized by the time the festival starts.

LAMB LOLLIPOPS, $16.99 “The lamb is a thyme, rosemary, day-marinated lamb. Pretty much takes away the gamey-ness of it. On top, here, we have a basil-mint pesto with balsamic glaze, caramelized baby carrots and caramelized brussels sprouts. And we have what we call a ‘potato stack,’” Acevedo said.
3 SLIDERS WITH MINI TRUFFLE FRIES, $12.99; $10.99 WITHOUT CRAB CAKE “This has house-cut truffle fries, and it comes with a trio of sliders. We have our black-and-blue slider, which comes with blueberries from the farm — we make a jam out of them — and it goes on with bleu cheese and bacon, on a brioche bun, and it’s served with a lemon aioli. Next is the apple chicken sandwich, which also comes with aioli, bacon and tomatoes, and we have our crab cake, which is a house-made crab cake with lemon aioli, lettuce and tomatoes,” Acevedo said.

TACOS, $10.99 “We have fresh-cut tortillas with our house-made guac. We have a steak taco with a pico de gallo, garlic sour cream with shaved avocado. We have our crispy shrimp tacos with a spicy Thai cole slaw, topped with cilantro sour cream and pico de gallo. Then we have our pulled chicken taco, which is pretty much a nice, six-hour marinated, slowcooked chicken. We just pull it apart with pico de gallo and a red pepper sour cream,” Acevedo said.

What you need to know if you’re facing a restraining order As a lawyer, I often see people alone in court facing a restraining order. Many think it’s not a big deal and don’t feel the need to fight it in court — or don’t even appear for the hearing at all. The judge may ask you if you agree to an injunction. If you agree to the injunction being entered, you are, in essence, agreeing that the facts alleged against you by the petitioner are true. Although there are some benefits to the entry of an injunction, such as giving the court jurisdiction over timesharing and child support issues, there are also criminal and other consequences that occur with the injunction’s issuance. Because of these consequences, you should never face this alone in court. Below, I’ve laid out some of the important implications of a final injunction entered against you. WHAT IS A RESTRAINING ORDER?
In Florida, a restraining order is called an injunction. They are court orders of protection against violence. The petitioner is the person who files, or petitions the court for, the injunction. The respondent is the person the injunction is filed against, or whom the petitioner is seeking protection from. Florida has four types of injunctions. Injunction for Protection Against: • Domestic Violence • Dating Violence • Repeat Violence • Sexual Violence

most common consequences and why they are important:
SHIOBHAN OLIVERO COLUMNIST
INJUNCTIONS ARE PUBLIC RECORD
• It cannot be sealed or expunged from your record. • The general public can view them by a search in the county clerk’s records (employers routinely search these public records).
HOW CAN SOMEONE REQUEST AN INJUNCTION?
The injunction process begins when the petitioner goes to the courthouse and petitions the court for one of the four types of injunctions. For a petitioner’s temporary injunction to be granted, the judge needs to find “clear and convincing evidence.” The petition requests the court to place an initial, temporary injunction against the respondent, and the respondent is not given the opportunity to respond. Most of the time, the court will grant the temporary injunction without hearing a word from the respondent. The court then sets a final hearing on a permanent injunction. The case must be heard within 15 days. At the final hearing, the petitioner and the respondent will have the opportunity to offer witnesses and evidence.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE FINAL INJUNCTION IS ENTERED AGAINST YOU?
Many people do not realize the full range of consequences that injunctions can have. Here is a list of the
• The respondent must surrender firearms to local law enforcement. • The restriction is in effect for as long as the injunction is in effect. • This limitation will affect anyone involved in law enforcement, military, or other jobs requiring the use of weapons and firearms (including future and pending applications). PETITIONER HAS THE POWER
• The petitioner can call the police any time and claim the respondent violated the injunction. Violating the injunction could end in arrest.

That’s why, before anyone in
Cross Guard Brazilian jiu-jitsu’s school can even slap hands and grapple, they’re dog tired from 30 minutes of intense cardio. Burpees, air squats, running, kicking, planks — each two neverending minute segments. The athletes are slick with sweat after — especially when the air conditioning is turned off in the small room. But there’s no time for rest. They’re asked to practice several concepts before rolling. SEE GRAPPLERS PAGE 17

Let’s keep the Redman Rivalry friendly Few things make sports more fun than a good, old-fashioned rivalry. The crosstown rivalry is a staple of high school sports, and everyone in our town knows the Durant-Plant City stakes are always a little higher. What’s made this rivalry so fun to cover is that everybody seemed to be on good terms but still wanted to try a little harder than usual for those lighthearted bragging rights. Much to my dismay, I found out last week many people have been taking it too far. I’ve been clued in to some bad news — directly related to the rivalry, over multiple sports — that needs to be addressed. I hope kids — and parents — know it’s possible to enjoy matchups without getting ugly in the stands, parking lots or school halls. There’s no reason for kids to fight because they play sports for different schools. There’s no reason to post things on social media that, if any college sports program caught wind SEE KLINE PAGE 18

B.J. Garrison has worked at Caring Concepts for nine years.
Not all athletes have an easy time adjusting to life after professional sports. But for B.J. Garrison, nine years into his second career, things are well enough that he can’t see himself doing anything else. Garrison, a Plant City native, went from making defensive adjustments on a baseball field to performing chiropractic adjustments for patients at the Caring Concepts clinic in 2007. Even with fluctuations in the health care system, Garrison says his time at the clinic has been good. “The last nine years, I’ve gotten to meet a lot of really great people,” Garrison says. “A lot of wonderful patients.” When Garrison started in 2007, he worked with Dr. Victor F. Kohlmeyer, a man known for fighting polio around the world, and Dr. Todd Glenn, who is still with the practice. Garrison’s mother, Vel, also worked in the clinic as an administrator but has since left.
Garrison says that, while the grind of the medical field is different from that of a professional athlete, it’s not exactly easier. “Nine years ago, it seemed easier,” Garrison says. “I didn’t imagine, I guess, that it would be as physical as it truly is. We’re busy — we see anywhere between 30 to 80 patients on any given day, so those days where you have over 50 are grueling. You get home, and you just want to stare at the wall and watch paint dry.” Of course, the good thing about that is that he was able to help 50-plus people live more comfortably that day. Garrison does miss playing baseball for a living, as the sport was good to him. He enjoyed a great career at Plant City High School, from which he graduated in 1996, and then Florida Southern College before going pro in Canada. He says that, for his amateur career, the people were the best things about the experience. SEE GARRISON PAGE 17
“The people that I played with, I had some of my best friends in the whole world. We grew up playing Little League together, then at Plant City High School, and then we actually played against each other in college.

FOCUS ON FITNESS
No time for cramping Thirst may drive your water intake, but thirst alone might not be a proper intake guide. Weigh yourself after exercise. If there is a weight loss, then sufficient hydration did not occur during exercise. I use a hydration plan for each workout: four ounces of water every 15 minutes.
Muscle cramps during exercise are very common, even for seasoned athletes. When muscle cramps occur, it is your body’s way of saying, “Something is wrong.” Let’s see where this message can come from and what it might mean. DEHYDRATION
As muscles contract, the body moves. A delicate electrical balance must exist within the muscles for these contractions to occur. Minerals such as potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium form compounds that create the right environment for electrical charges to properly function. Body minerals operate best in a fully-hydrated environment. When an imbalance of minerals exists, the muscles cannot carry a full electrical charge. With a weak

charge, the muscles cannot contract. Drinking water alone might not be enough to remedy the situation. The body needs the balance of both water and electrolytes. A word of caution: before reaching for that sugary sports drink, try water first. Save yourself from those extra calories, as water may be what your body needs. If not, then select your sports drink to fit your needs.
Working faster or harder than your normal pace can tire the body, resulting in over-excited nerve endings. The body responds to the nervous system distress with a spasm or cramps that bring body activity to a screeching halt. This is the body trying to protect itself from harm, using a message: the cramp. Stretch the affected muscle group, as stretching calms the misfiring nervous system. For long-term cramp prevention, work with a
physical therapist or athletic trainer for a strengthening program to reduce fatigue. STOMACH CRAMPS
Remember that childhood advice to wait an hour before jumping into the pool? This is great wisdom to carry into adulthood. Eating too close to your training period creates internal conflict as to which body part gets your blood supply: the digestive system or the muscle group being trained. When the blood supply goes to the stomach, muscles are deprived of their needed nutrients and oxygen and cramps can then follow. After a large meal, give yourself at least a full hour, preferably two, before training. MENSTRUAL CRAMPS
Exercise releases beta-endorphins and internal opioids, which relieve
cramps. This natural pain relief is good news to many, as menstrual cramping is a leading causes of absenteeism from school and work in younger women. The best form of exercise for menstrual cramp prevention is aerobic, including brisk walking, swimming and the elliptical trainer. By increasing the heart rate, the body is able to clear itself of toxins and redistribute the newly created beta-endorphins. Stick with a minimum program of aerobics three times a week for 30 minutes to keep menstrual cramps under control. JENNIFER E.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? B.J. GARRISON “The people that I played with, I had some of my best friends in the whole world,” Garrison says. “We grew up playing Little League together, then at Plant City High School, and then we actually played against each other
in college. Just hanging out with your buddies — and, of course, winning games.” He played pro ball from 2000 to 2003, first for Les Capitales de Quebec and then went to back America to play for the Schaumburg Flyers and Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks. In 2003,
his final year as a pro, the Redhawks won the Northern League championship. The one thing any pro athlete needs for life after sports is an outlet for their competitive nature. For Garrison, that comes in the form of guiding his children in their own sports ventures. His
son, Austin, plays baseball, and his daughter, Lana, plays basketball. “I find myself up there getting loud, like, ‘Come on, let’s go!’ And then, I’m like, ‘Oh, wait, I don’t want to be that guy,’” Garrison says. “But it’s that competitive nature — you start to feel it again, and it’s exciting. I get real

Sam Kimmel trains his grapplers to be able to go in any condition, especially when tired from cardio workouts.
FIVE HUNDRED AB WORKOUTS In a tournament, fundamentals are everything. Fighting several times a day, especially for those who compete in both gi and no-gi grappling, taxes the body. To succeed, one’s technique has to be nearly as good when tired as it is for the first match of the day. “I try to burn them out so, when we go to grapple, you’re forced to use technique because you have no muscle left,” Sam Kimmel says. “You have no strength left because we kill it in the cardio class. You’re forced to use technique because you can’t muscle your way out of it.” That’s why Kimmel puts his Cross Guard students through the wringer at the beginning of each class. It’s also a quick way to boost one’s stamina. “You never know who’s going to be in your division,” Kimmel says. “You could have one match that goes all four minutes, or you could have one match that goes 30 seconds. It adds up quick, having three, four, five matches in one division — it’ll tear you up pretty good.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16
That’s just how owner and head trainer Sam Kimmel likes it. Kimmel, a veteran of the Brazilian jiu-jitsu scene, knows that grapplers who can keep their techniques sound while tired can win big in extended competitions, such as this weekend’s NAGA Orlando Grappling Championship, in which his team will compete. Kimmel’s grapplers, a mix of adults and kids from all walks of life, have been working hard to get to this point. Nearly all are white belts, but Kimmel is confident enough in their training — and, in some cases, their past tournament performances — he expects good things to come their way this weekend. “They’re going to do awesome,” Kimmel says. “They’ve already come leaps and bounds. I hit cardio hard, hard, hard for these guys, so that’s not

going to be an issue.” Some of the Cross Guard grapplers first came into the school with the goal of one day competing in the Brazilian jiu-jitsu scene, much like Kimmel has. Others came to achieve fitness goals, such as losing weight or improving their cardio, and became hooked enough to give competitive grappling a try. “‘Blue’ (Elisa Sohn), she’s lost almost 20 pounds already, getting ready for this tournament,” Kimmel says of a grappler. “I’m really excited to see her enter it. It’s her first tournament, she’s a little nervous about everything, but she’s going to destroy the competition for sure. She’s good.” Cross Guard, on Collins Street, has been training with its Lakeland-based sister team, Carlson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, for the event. The NAGA circuit, short for North American Grappling Association, is one of the largest of its kind in the country. Its schedule runs nearly every week from April through December, mostly in the United States, but occasionally finds time to host events in Brazil, France, Germany and other countries. The Saturday, April 30, tournament will be held at the Orange County Convention Center, and Kimmel says there could be anywhere from 600 to 800 fighters competing. In the last NAGA competition Cross Guard attended, the Lakeland PanAms in December, Cross Guard grapplers won 18 total medals, including eight golds. “Hopefully, we’re gonna hit it hard,” Kimmel says.

WHAT’S ON KLINE’S MIND? CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16
of, would result in a lost scholarship. There’s no reason to take anything about a high school rivalry personally, period. This rivalry’s roots trace back to one family and, with some administrative changes in recent years, is now more embedded with the family than it’s ever been. And, you know what? Those people still love each other. Can’t everyone come together, more like a family, and enjoy this crosstown rivalry? Of the many things on Durant head baseball coach Butch Valdes’s mind right now, changing the attitudes of both schools’ athletes and fans for the better is near the top. Valdes, one of the longer-tenured coaches in the area, knows this rivalry better than most and is fed up with the unneeded drama. He and I sat down Friday, April 22, to talk about the state of the Redman Rivalry and how it can be restored to what it was created to be: a friendly one. I’ve decided to get his point across in his own words: I want Plant City to be one community. I don’t want it to be divided and have a boundary line of Plant City and Durant. You can have respect for your schools and support your schools. But, outside of that, everybody needs to be a family. That’s what we preach here: we want it to be that way around the entire Plant City area. Unfortunately, it’s become a rivalry at times, where people take it the wrong way. We don’t want to see that. I don’t want to not like a team. I respect Plant City High School coach Mike (Fryrear). I respect everything that that young man does. He’s great for the program, and I’d like to see both of these schools thrive and get these kids to college, or MLB — whatever it may be — or just become great citizens. Doing that is just having that rapport between each other. We can’t fight every time, just because it says Plant City and Durant. I don’t want to see that. It’s going to be a good game. I know that it’s going to be a battle every time that we walk out there. But, at the same time, when it’s over, it’s over. It’s a game. We’re going to get up, we’re gonna go to school the next day and we’re going to go back to work. If your mother would not like you to do it, don’t do it. It goes back to the old way of teaching things: if you don’t want it to be said to you, don’t say it to somebody else … We don’t promote the social media garbage back and forth. And we tell them, every time: this is what comes back to haunt you when you run your trap. And they bought into it. They understand it and respect it. And I believe that other people around the community respect them because of the way they are. I’d like to see that throughout all of Hillsborough County. We’ve just got to start with one area at a time ... I just don’t want that animosity between each other. I don’t.

ABOUT THE REDMAN RIVALRY As with most high school rivalries, this one began with football. James L. Redman, one of Plant City High’s most notable alumni, had grandchildren that played for both Durant and Plant City at the same time. He supported both programs, choosing to sit in the end zone for the rivalry games to stay unbiased. When Redman died in summer 2006, some of his family members came together to create the Redman Cup for the 2006-07 school year. The trophy can be found at the school of the game’s most recent winner and is adorned with plaques on the front. Although football (and basketball, as of January) gets a trophy, all of the schools’ athletes look forward to Durant-Plant City matches in any sport.

What’s been the best moment of your track and field career? Probably PR-ing at districts.
Is there any sport you’ve never played before but always wanted to try? I guess it would be soccer. I would probably play goalie. It looks fun, to stop them from scoring.

You get $1 billion one day. What’s the first thing you buy? Buy my mom a house. You get any superpower you want. What do you pick? Super speed. A kid comes up to you and asks you for advice on how to get better. What do you tell him? Just keep working. Don’t ever take a rep off, just keep working.

Linda Hunter named her photograph “Country Cow meets Kiddie Cow.”
at Strawberry Town Cafe, 3161 Paul Buchman Highway.
She says, “The kiddie cow was part of my son’s Fisher Price farm set from the 1980s. My grandson plays with the farm set whenever he visits. I added wiggle eyes to the toy cow to enhance the look of the cow’s eyes and placed him on a fence post. Great fun creating this image!”
