now what? by Michael Eng and Matt Mauney
Negotiations stall between city, Big League Dreams The California company was the only organization to submit a long-term proposal for Plant City Stadium. There won’t be a miniature Fenway Park in Plant City. Or Yankee Stadium. Or any replica stadium, for that matter. Plant City commissioners directed City Manager Greg Horwedel Aug. 26, to terminate negotiations with Big League Dreams Inc., the California-based company that builds replicas of major league stadiums. The company was the only organization to submit a proposal for a
long-term use of Plant City Stadium. “We were just too far apart,” Horwedel said about the negotiations between the city and Big League Dreams. “It doesn’t make sense for them, and it doesn’t make sense for us.” Big League Dreams’ proposal had asked that the city contribute $1.5 million toward construction costs. The proposal also estimated $3,082,958 in an-
nual gross revenue. Of that total, the city would receive 2.4%, or $73,911. During the negotiation process, Horwedel expressed concern about the community and surrounding areas financially supporting the Big League Dreams concept in Plant City. The company makes its profits by renting the stadiums to teams and tournaments that want to use the replica stadiums and fields. It pulls in additional revenue by charging admission for tournaments,

+ Happy anniversary! Rubye and David Abbott, of Plant City, celebrated this week their 72nd wedding anniversary. The Abbotts were married Aug. 27, 1941. As a child, Rubye’s third-grade teacher read the class a book about the young boy who worked with his father. When he was asked his name, he would answer, “Just David.” Rubye loved the story and the character so much, she wanted to find her David. After she met David, she asked him his middle name, he answered, “Just David.” She knew she had met her hero. They became friends at Plant City’s Four Square Gospel church youth meeting and began dating. David served in the U.S. Army in the Pacific in World War II and came home with an honorable discharge. Rubye and her sisters sang and played music for their father, a preacher who often held street meetings. They still live on Whitehall Street, in Plant City, where they have lived for 52 years.

The Pettises have 48 alpacas on their Plant City-based Sweet Blossom Alpaca Farm. The family will invite the public to the farm next month, for tours and a cookout.
Alpaca-Lypse Now honk if you pronk
by Amber Jurgensen | Associate Editor
Debbie and Narvel Pettis run Sweet Blossom Alpaca Farm, in Plant City. A light rain begins to drizzle over the green grass of Debbie and Narvel Pettis’ 9-acre Plant City farm. “They’ll be coming in now,” Debbie says of her livestock. “They don’t like the rain.” The couple sits in their stable, waiting for the clean stalls to fill up. But the stalls aren’t the shelter of cows or horses. The Pettises own Sweet Blossom Alpaca Farm. Sure enough, the long-necked animals hoof their way through the gate, led by a guard llama named Winona. Winona hightails it into the first stall. She knows there’s a stranger in the stable and wants to make sure everyone is safe. Her youngster suckles at her teat as she stands tall. But it’s Debbie’s favorite alpaca, Lily, that gets a closer look. She is allowed out of her stall to
roam the stable freely. Her dark fawn coat is barely damp from the sprinkle. She approaches a table set out with bags of alpaca fleece, first-place show ribbons and alpaca clothing products. When Narvel grabs an alpaca stuffed animal off the table, Lily skits away cautiously. Debbie bottle-fed Lily herself after Lily’s mother died four years ago. Lily was their first alpaca. “There’s some that I will never sell,” Debbie says. “It’s just fascinating to raise these guys.”
THE BEGINNING
Debbie’s love of alpacas grew from a newspaper article she read about the animals. When she showed Narvel a picture of one with just the neck and head in the frame, Narvel couldn’t believe his

Daniel Azzariti always thought being a firefighter sounded interesting. He got his first dose of dousing flames early. When a large brush fire set areas near Crystal River ablaze, Azzariti joined the volunteer effort. “I didn’t know what to do,” Azzariti said. “I just knew I wanted to help. Most of the neighborhood was a member of the fire department.” From his humble beginnings in civil service, Azzariti’s career would span decades — from serving as fire chief in New Port Richey, deputy fire chief in Marion County and even as a consultant for improving fire and EMS efficiencies. And now, he will add fire chief of Plant City Fire Rescue to his long, impressive résumé. Plant City selected Azzariti as its new chief. He took over for Interim Fire Chief David Burnett, who chose not to pursue permanent appointment to the position. Azzariti’s first day was Aug. 26. Assistant City Manager of Public Safety Bill McDaniel selected Azzariti from a field of more than 25 applicants from throughout the country. “Chief Azzariti brings with him more than 30 years of front-line, administrative and leadership experience in the professional fire and emergency medical services,” McDaniel said. “I am excited about the experience, vision and leadership that Chief Azzariti will be able to apply in moving our already-outstanding fire department to the next level.” Azzariti said he is excited to begin a new chapter of his career in the Winter Strawberry Capital of the World. “The first thing I want to do is get in and meet everyone,” Azzariti said. “Everything I know about the department, everything I’ve heard, is good. I think it’ll be a good experience, and everyone is just so nice.” Azzariti said he already has seen the pride with which Plant City Fire Rescue employees conduct their work. “A department is the best it can be if firefighters feel proud of their department,” Azzariti said. “I want to be there to help

New seafood restaurant dives into Plant City
ARBY’S CLOSES AT LAKE WALDEN SQUARE
The Seafood Dive also has locations in Brandon and Sun City Center. It’s hard to miss the new yellow paint covering the outside of Plant City’s newest restaurant, The Seafood Dive. And the bold, fun look continues inside, as well. Bosting nautical décor, including fishing nets on the ceiling and a boardwalk-style chalkboard menu, owner Tom Kazbour hopes to whisk his Plant City customers away on a seafaring adventure when the restaurant opens next month. “He wanted it to feel like a fresh fish market,” spokeswoman Debbie Devine said. “Like walking right into the seaside.” Kazbour hopes to open The Seafood Dive Sept. 9. He currently operates two other locations in Brandon and Sun City Center. The Plant City location, at 238 W. Alexander St., is just outside Premiere Cinema 8. In addition to The Seafood Dive, Kazbour owns and operates more than 50 Hungry Howie’s pizza restaurants throughout Florida and Alabama. After immigrating to the United States when he was young, he started working in the restaurant business in Michigan at age 15. Although Hungry Howie’s constitutes the majority of his business,

He sees Plant City as a great opportunity.” Like the Brandon location, the Plant City location will offer a quickstyle dining experience. The menu will feature a variety of seafood options. Devine said favorites include the half-pound fish platter that comes with French fries, cole slaw and hush puppies, and the big fish sandwich. “We have had great success,” Devine said. “People really enjoy it.” The restaurant also will feature a sauce bar. “Everything is homemade,” Kazbour said. “We make our own sauces. You can get fast, causal service, and we can make it anyway you want — broiled, grilled or fried.” Contact Amber Jurgensen at ajurgensen@plantcityobserver.com.

NATIONAL MOVEMENT
Conservatives from Plant City joined thousands of others throughout the country Aug. 24, as part of the group, Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment. With her hands protected inside a pair of dove-white gloves and a red sunhat shielding her face and neck from the relentless summer rays, 75-year-old Liz Porter sits in her wheelchair on the overpass at Interstate 4 and County Line Road, her protest sign held high. Two years ago, she suffered a stroke and now requires around-the-clock care from her daughter, Cindy Ernst. But every Saturday, she makes the trip from Sebring to hold her sign, as part of the Lakeland/ Polk County chapter of the group, Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment. “We need to take our country back,” she said. “It’s just gone too far.” The sentiment is one shared by all of the group’s members, including Plant City residents Sheila and Jordan Dunkin, who joined Porter Aug. 24, for the group’s recent protest. “We really need to get this country back in order,” Sheila Dunkin said. “It’s not going

A 25-year-old Plant City man with 46 felonies on his record was shot by Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputies after the suspect attempted to hit them with a stolen vehicle. According to Sheriff’s Office reports, at 3:17 p.m. Aug. 27, Justin Wallace Bryant was at the RaceTrac, 11703 Dr. MLK Jr. Blvd., in Seffner. Bryant was parked in a stolen Lincoln Navigator when detectives approached. Detectives were attempting to take Bryant into custody for two grand theft auto warrants and two other grand theft auto charges. Bryant At that time, Bryant turned the front wheels of the vehicle toward Det. William Hyatt and Det. Patrick Saunders and accelerated. Hyatt dived out of the way and moved a witness to safety. Saunders had to push himself away from the vehicle as it approached and then fired two shots at Bryant. Det. Jeff Fender was nearby and fired one shot. Bryant suffered one gunshot wound and crashed the vehicle into a pillar next to the gas pump. He was airlifted to Tampa General Hospital, where he remains in stable condition. He faces two counts of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle on a law-enforcement officer.

ANIMAL HOUSE
In addition to the 48 alpacas on the farm, there are also three donkeys, chickens and two llamas. One of the llamas, Winona, is a guard llama. She leads the alpacas in and out of the stable and scans the pastures for trouble. Her mate, Zippy, is less alert. The Pettises joke that he is a “stable potato,” who likes the comfort of his shelter.

What is it?’” Narvel remembers. “I thought what a strange-looking animal,” Debbie says. “I just fell in love with them. They are such beautiful creatures.” The couple began to do research on alpacas and visited farms to observe their behavior and care. At the time, Debbie held a full-time position at a consulting firm in IT global management. The peace and tranqiulity of the farm was what she needed. “That’s what drew me to this,” Deb-

bie says. “I sit in an office on the phone. Coming out here when I need a fiveminute break, it relaxes me.” So, four-and-one-half years ago, the Pettises started their own alpaca farm. “I jumped on board,” Narvel says. “They were different. They really grow on you. They all have their own personalities.” The Pettises named their farm Sweet Blossom Alpaca Farm to pay tribute to Plant City’s strawberry heritage. Today, Debbie knows all her 48 registered alpacas by name.
THE BUSINESS
Alpacas are prized for their fleece. A single alpaca can produce five to 10 pounds of fiber per year. Sweet Blossom alpacas are all Suri alpacas. Their fleece is less crimped than Huacaya alpaca fleece, and it hangs in loose locks like human hair. The Suri fleece is better suited to be woven, and even famous designer Armani has been known to design suits and expensive products using Suri fleece. At their farm, the Pettises sell wholesale goods, such as socks and scarves, made from alpaca fleece. They also send their own alpaca fiber to a mill to be woven into thread. Shearing season in Florida is around April. In the northern part of the United States, the season occurs in May or June. In addition to the fleece, the Pettises also sell alpacas. Some of their females could fetch up to $8,000 and sometimes even much more. When the Pettises sell an alpaca, they take great care to investigate where it is going. “It’s almost like their being adopted,” Debbie says. “We raised them.” It’s easy to see the love they have for their alpacas. The couple freely gives me, and this is a responsibility I will not take lightly,” Azzariti said. “I will serve to the best of my ability.” Azzariti and his wife of 30 years, Nancy, also enjoy historic homes. Plant City’s Historic Downtown district is a big draw for the couple. The Azzaritis currently are restoring a turn-of-thecentury house in Ocala. Originally from New York, Azzariti attended fire school in Ocala, as well as paramedic school. He also holds an associate’s degree in nursing from Pasco Hernando Community College. Azzariti served at New Port Richey fire department for 30 years — 13 as its fire chief. He retired in 2008, as director of the city’s emergence services. Later, he served as deputy fire chief
WHAT IS PRONKING?
It’s common for alpacas to pronk in cooler weather. Pronking is when an alpaca hops high into the air, lifting all four feet off the ground. The Sweet Blossom alpacas often do it in unison. Alpacas pronk to escape a predator or simply when they are happy. Many crias, or babies, pronk because they are playing. The Pettises sit on their porch watching the alpacas for pronking. Each time offers new excitement. They also have a bumper sticker on their SUV that reads, “Honk if you Pronk.” kisses to those who will tolerate it. Some like it more than others. Lily enjoys following Debbie around the stable. Customers come in for different needs. Some just want an alpaca for its fiber, while others want them for breeding or shows.
THE COMPETITION
When it comes to shows, it’s all about the bloodline. Debbie’s goal is to raise the quality of her herd by purchasing highly valued herdsires. There are two types of competitions. Competitors can send in alpacas fiber, or they can bring the actual alpaca into be judged. With 22 different alpaca colors, there is an extensive criteria by which fiber is judged.

COMMISSION / PAGE 1 typically $3 for adults and $1 for kids. “We’re not sure how successful that would be here,” Horwedel told the Plant City Times & Observer earlier this month. Following the termination of negotiations, Big League Dreams will return the $450,000 licensing fee Plant City paid in October 2011, when the city entered into a 30-year licensing agreement with the company. Under that agreement, Big League Dreams would not build a similar facility within a 40-mile-by-30-mile oval around Plant City Stadium. Since then, Big League Dreams founder and Managing Director Rick Odekirk said several Florida cities expressed interest in Big League Dreams. The company currently is negotiating for locations in Jacksonville and Ft. Lauderdale. Built for the Cincinnati Reds as a spring-training home, the stadium has been without a proper tenant since the Reds moved in 1997, to Sarasota. The International Softball Federation moved its headquarters in 2000, to Plant City in offices near the stadium. ISF’s lease goes through 2019. In April, the city accepted a short-term lease agreement with VSI Tampa Bay. VSI converted the stadium to host soccer games for four of its teams throughout out the summer. The city loses about $387,000 annually on operating costs of the stadium and four-plex. Now, with no suitor and with VSI Tampa Bay’s first and only season in Plant City complete, Horwedel said he and his staff will examine solutions for the stadium. He said the city will not seek new proposal for a long-term use, and, depending on the ISF’s future plans, the city may elect to raze the stadium and replace it with additional fields. ISF Executive Director Don Porter said tearing down the stadium actually may yield a bigger economic impact by giving the facility the ability to host larger tournaments. “A way to make more revenue that you would like to see is to have more fields,” he said. “We’re happy to work with the city and do whatever we can to bring in

The project stalled after softball lost its Olympic status following the 2008 Olympic Games. “We have an exceptional relationship with the city,” Porter said. “I’ve been all over the country and world, and this really is one of the best facilities I’ve seen.” Contact Michael Eng at meng@ plantcityobserver.com.

Winery announces Wonka-inspired contest One of Keel and Curley Winery’s 10 golden corks already has been claimed. The grand-prize winner will receive a wine-tasting trip to the Napa Valley.
TWO HENRYS Keel and Curley Winery has branched out to create its own beer label, Two Henrys. The beer is almost ready for its debut. Managing Partner Clay Keel said he hopes to have it available by Oct. 1, at the winery. The label will be celebrated Oct. 19, at the winery’s first Biertoberfest. The festival will feature bands, a cornhole tournament, vendors and other home brewers. “We also want to bring in craft brewers to come and share their art,” Joe Keel said. “Because it really is an art.” Clay and Joe Keel have been traveling to conferences to get their beer right. They named the brewery Two Henrys after Henry Plant and Henry Flagler — the businessmen responsible for the local the railroad system. Later, they went on to open rival hotels.
There were no Oompa Loompas running around Keel and Curley Winery, when owner Joe Keel announced Aug. 21, a Wonka-inspired contest, the Search for the Golden Cork. Wine drinkers will get a chance to find one of 10 golden corks stashed away inside of the winery’s 19 bottled options. The Plant City winery is sponsoring the contest to celebrate its 10-year anniversary. “No one’s going to know where the corks are except us,” Keel said. “Not even the stores will know.” Keel is tracking the corks to make sure they get onto shelves as quickly as possible. The gleaming yellow stoppers will be hidden by a special wrapper. One cork already has been claimed in Clearwater. Those lucky enough to find a golden cork will be asked to come to the winery Oct. 10, the night of the anniversary. There, they will compete in a blind taste test to win the grand prize. The winner won’t be whisked away to a candy-filled wonderland. Instead, the ultimate prize is a trip for two to

The winery started in 2003, in Keel’s kitchen. A Central Florida blueberry farmer, Keel wanted to find a use for his end-of-crop blueberries. Rather than waste the harvest, Keel decided to make blueberry wine. “I was single at the time; I didn’t want to waste my time on jams and pies,” Keel said. Since then, Keel and Curley Winery has won more than 250 awards for excellence and has produced nearly one million bottles. In addition to its Plant City location, Keel and Curley’s wines are available in 1,500 Publix, Walmart and Total Wine & More locations. Contact Amber Jurgensen at ajurgensen@plantcityobserver.com.
TALLAHASSEE REPORT
Higginbotham speaks to club The zeal to repeal Hillsborough County Commissioner Al Higginbotham joined the Plant City Republican Women’s Club Aug. 22, meeting as the guest speaker. But he didn’t get to start his talk without a little teasing from the club’s president, Judy Wise. Both Higginbotham and Wise are NASCAR fans, but they like different drivers. Wise asked Higginbotham if he would take a picture with two mystery guests. But what happened next, no one expected. Wise brought out a life size cutout of two of her favorite drivers. A good sport, Higginbotham and posed with the cutout — much to the delight of club members. After the fun, Higginbotham briefed the club on the work he is doing at the County Commission. Last year, Higginbotham had 274 office meetings, 102 agenda meetings and 182 appearances and speaking engagements. Sixty-five-hour workweeks were common.

New yoga class stretches into Plant City Jenna Stanko’s yoga class takes place Tuesdays, at the Veterans’ Memorial Monument. A cobalt blue strip of fabric hangs from the old tree in front of yoga instructor Jenna Stanko’s home. Many who pass by her yard in Historic Downtown Plant City are puzzled by the shimmering sheet of silk. What is it? Although the U-shaped silk resembles a hammock, it actually is a yoga swing. And every morning, Stanko rises at 6:30 a.m. and practices yoga on the swing. “Some people will be driving by and then stop and stare,” Stank said, laughing. “It allows you to get deeper into the pose. It’s great for working on abs. And, it’s just fun.” Stanko is bringing her yoga expertise to Plant City. She started a yoga class Aug. 6, at Veterans’ Memorial Monument Park. The class meets at 6 p.m. Tuesdays. “It was very hard for me to find a yoga community here,” Stanko said. “So, I thought, ‘Why not start one myself?’” A Yoga Alliance-certified instructor, Stanko first became interested in yoga during her time at Youngstown State University, in Ohio. She decided to take a class and was hooked instantly. After earning her degree

She found work at a studio in Tampa, Yoga Downtown Tampa. Stanko wanted to bring Tampa’s thriving yoga scene to Plant City. “There’s no yoga really anywhere in Plant City,” Stanko said. “Valrico doesn’t have a lot either. Lakeland is too far.” Stanko encourages anyone, especially beginners, to attend her class. “In this fitness-crazed world, everyone feels they need to be as good as the person next to them,” Stanko said. “But, it’s about what is good for you.” After teaching a session, Stanko feels a sense of release and mental clarity. She sees it in her clients, too. “All of them have this glaze over their eyes, and you know they feel good and don’t know how to describe it,” Stanko said. “It makes me feel awesome as a teacher. Being able to bring that to others just completes me.” Contact Amber Jurgensen at ajurgensen@plantcityobserver. com.

FOR THE LOVE OF
COACHING The Plant City Family YMCA honored Dave Robbins with the 2013 Strong Leader Award Aug. 27, at the HCC Plant City John R. Trinkle Center.
Dave Robbins’ favorite job in life is one he never made a dime doing. Robbins, who has spent his life coaching and helping young people, was honored at the Plant City Family YMCA Strong Leader Dinner Aug. 27, at the HCC Plant City John R. Trinkle Center. Robbins, or “Coach Dave” as he’s better known, becomes the 11th Strong Leader Award winner, joining the likes of Sherrie Mueller, Fred Johnson, 2012 winner David Miller and Mike Sparkman, the inaugural winner in 2003. The award is presented to individuals whose contributions to the Plant City community echo the YMCA’s commitment for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Roy Peterson told Robbins that he was this year’s recipient two months ago. “I had heard of the award, but I was surprised to win it,” Robbins says. “It’s a great honor, and I’m humbled by it and glad to be a part of it.”
BASKETBALL PIONEER
In 1969, two years after moving to Plant City, Robbins formed a youth basketball league under Plant City Recreation and Parks and the Plant City Optimist Club, an organization for which Robbins is a charter member. For the past 44 years, Robbins has served as the director of the league, which has had great success and regularly pulls in about 425 kids annually. “We’ve had as many as 550 kids participating at one time,” he says. “It’s still thriving and doing well. There’s a playing fee, but if we have a kid who wants to pay and just doesn’t have the money, we’ll figure out a way to let them participate.”
MAKING AN IMPACT
Robbins says he particularly

enjoys seeing former players come back as grown men and tell him about the difference he made in their lives. “Them telling me how I impacted their lives — that’s always important to me,” he says. “A lot of people talk about the pay with coaching. Well, I’ve never coached a lick for pay, but my pay is when kids turn out to be successful.” Robbins says he saw about a dozen former players at the dinner from the three different high schools at which he coached — Lake Gibson, George Jenkins and Plant City. He also received two phone calls — one from a former player who now is a coach in
Missouri and another from Hosie Grimsley Jr., a former player who went on to play from 1989 to 1993, at the University of Florida. “That’s the kind of reward that you enjoy,” Robbins says.

Robbins’ favorite memory in all of his years of coaching came in 1967 — his first year as an assistant at Plant City Senior High School. Along with head coach Larry Martin, the team then known as the Planters won the boys state championship. “I thought we were going to win it every year after that, but we haven’t been back since,” he says. Robbins went on to serve as an assistant at Lake Gibson and George Jenkins high schools but later returned to where it all began. “When I got to the school and met Dave, I had no idea that he was the assistant coach,” says current PCHS head coach Dale Chambers. “It wasn’t until we went to lunch and started talking about basketball that he mentioned being an assistant.” Chambers added that Robbins has an “old school and
direct approach” to the game but that his players respect and admire him. Robbins also helps with fundraising efforts for the school as a charter member of the Plant City High Athletic Booster Club and helps out each summer with Chambers’ annual youth co-ed basketball camp. “He’s a great help to me and does a great job helping run our program,” Chambers says.

OBSERVER Plant City remembers Dean Snyder OBITUARIES IN MEMORIAM by Matt Mauney | Associate Editor
Throughout Dean Snyder’s fight with esophageal cancer he lived by a motto — “Strength and Honor.” It was line from his favorite movie, “Gladiator.” He even made it the mantra of his charity bike-riding event, Dean’s Ride, held in January, for the Plant City Family YMCA’s Livestrong program. Mr. Snyder died peacefully Aug. 27, 2013, at his Walden Lake home. He was 58. He forever will remain a pillar of strength and a model of honor in the Plant City community. Mr. Snyder was involved in a long list of civic clubs, financial boards and scouting programs. “He was very strong in this community,” said Jim Chancey, who had known Snyder for eight years. “He was very involved — not only in his work and financial services but with scouting, the YMCA, food bank and even some civic clubs. He was a man to contend with.” He served on the advisory board for the Plant City Photo Archives and History Center and the Arts Council of Plant City. He also served as president of the Plant City Lions Club and Toastmasters and was a chamber Leadership alum. An Eagle Scout, Mr. Snyder’s passion was the Boy Scouts of America. He helped 27 boys reach the rank of Eagle Scout. His scouting career included positions as assistant cub master, assistant scout master, scout master, district chair of the Boy Scouts of America, district finance chair and vice president of operations. He created the annual Friends of Scouting Dinner in 2003, to benefit Boy Scout troops in the Plant City area. The Friends of Scouting recognized him in 2009, as a Distinguished Citizen for his work. Two years later, the Boy Scouts of America presented him with the Silver Beaver Award for distinguished service to youth. Fellow Eagle Scout and neighbor George Banning knew Mr. Snyder since 1998. Banning recalls when their wives recruited them in to help with the Veterans’ Memorial Monument Park project as part of the Garden Club. Mr. Snyder was an avid gar-

They eventually came to share an area known as “Brittany Park,” named after the Bannings’ Shih Tzu. “I couldn’t ask for a better neighbor,” Banning said. “Over the years, I think we did everything we could do together. We’ve just enjoyed each other’s company. He had a big heart, that’s for sure.” Banning shared a ritual of friendship with Mr. Snyder. Every morning, they enjoyed coffee together, and every evening, they sat back in their gardens with a glass of wine. Even with cancer, Mr. Snyder stayed involved in the community. For the Daybreak Rotary Club’s Country Cracker Feast, held annually at the Banning residence, Mr. Snyder helped set up the tents and tables. The party overlapped into his yard. “He is going to be missed in this community,” Banning said. “He was just very involved and just a nice guy.”
Even after his diagnosis, Mr. Snyder remained active. He participated in Relay for Life and served on the YMCA board. He was the director of the Southeast Hillsborough Unit for the American Cancer Society and served as the annual gala chairman for two years. Mr. Snyder also organized Dean’s Ride, a charity bike riding event for the Plant City Family YMCA’s Livestrong program for cancer survivors. He had his sixth chemotherapy session the day before the 18-mile route. “There are scenes in (Gladiator in which) Russell Crowe tells his men, if they stick together, that the fight becomes easier,” Mr. Snyder told the Plant City Observer in January. “That’s how I feel about cancer.” He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Ceresa Michele “Mikie” Snyder; sons, Adam Justin Snyder (Candice) and Michael Brandon Snyder; grandchildren,
Brock Joseph Snyder and Gunner Gabriel Snyder; siblings, Mark, Bruce, Keith, Bonnie, Kent, Eric, Todd, Beth and Brett; and many loving nieces, nephews, family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert Leon Snyder and Rosemary Hudgel Snyder; and brother, Michael Snyder Sheaks. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 30, at Hopewell Funeral Home, 6005 C.R. 39 S., Plant City.

FAITH MATTERS
We have everything we need

Justin Parker started Church on the Rock’s Army of Heaven Motorcycle Ministry one year ago.
Born (again) to ride Church on the Rock’s Army of Heaven Motorcycle Ministry will celebrate in September, its first anniversary. RECRUITING Interested in joining the Army of Heaven? Visit ArmyofHeavenPC.com or call Church on the Rock, (813) 752-3740.
FAITH RIDERS Faith Riders is a motorcycle ministry associated with the Southern Baptist Convention that invites riders to worship and ride. Locally, Plant City’s First Baptist Church has a chapter. The members ride their bikes to church every Sunday. The chapter also has a booth at the Greater Plant City Chamber of Commerce’s Bike Night. For more information, visit fbcpc.com or call (813) 7524104.
FREE RIDER FELLOWSHIP Free Rider Fellowship, at 2207 Mud Lake Road, is a church just for riders. Led by the Rev. Aaron Brown, the goal of the church is to combine their love of God and motorcycles into a ministry that reaches out to motorcyclists and their families. For more information on the church, visit FreeRiderFellowship.com or call (813) 704-4802.
Justin Parker was petrified when he stood in front of a crowd of elders at Church on the Rock during a regulatory business meeting last year. He had just been named as one of the church’s associate pastors. But that’s not why he was nervous. About a year ago, Parker and other church members had started an informal motorcycle ministry. They took joy rides around Central Florida, stopping for lunch. During their meal, they discussed Scripture and have a devotion. Parker wanted to make the ministry — called Army of Heaven — official. He wanted to invite tattooed, Harley-riding, leather-wearing bikers to church services and events. “It was my first act as a pastor,” Parker says. “I didn’t want to be known for inviting motorcycles to church. I was afraid of the response.” But, much to Parker’s surprise and delight, the congregation couldn’t wait to get the ministry rolling and roaring. After his presentation, members of the church approached Parker about potential members and praised him for his idea. “Paul said, ‘Be all things to all people,’” Parker says. “I wanted the church members to get out of their comfort zone.” The motorcycle ministry celebrates its first anniversary in September.
Parker harbored a lifelong interest in motorcycles, but the urge to ride didn’t strike until about three years ago. His first bike was a 1989 Yamaha Radian. But when his mother’s refrigerator broke, he sold it to buy her a new one. For his birthday, she bought him another bike, a Suzuki Boulevard. “I felt like it was really the Lord’s work,” Parker says. That’s when he got together with other riders in the church. Their first ride was a two-hour trip to Bartow. “We just got back from that trip and thought, ‘We could make this happen,’” Parker says. Since then, the group of about 20 bikers has hit the open road for afternoon Sunday rides following church. They also have enjoyed camping retreat weekends and visits to the Greater Plant City Chamber of Commerce’s Bike Fest. At Bike Fest, Army of Heaven members socialize with another motorcycle ministry based out of Plant City’s First Baptist Church, Faith Riders. They also meet up with Plant City’s Free Rider Fellowship, a church dedicated exclusively to riders. Army of Heaven has collaborated with Free Rider Fellowship on different events. Last Christmas, the groups created a unique spin on the traditional Christmas story. Called “Chrome-Plated Christmas,” the production retells the story with a biker twist. About 100 people came to the show, held at Church on the Rock. The ministries hope to host it again this year. As the college and career pastor at Church on the Rock, Parker is used to doing unconventional things to spark an interest in faith. He will be holding a zombie apocalypsetraining seminar for youth to teach them about the end times. His motorcycle ministry fits in with his unique perspective. “One of our church mottos is to go and make disciples,” Parker says. “We’re presenting an unchanging truth to an ever-changing world.” Contact Amber Jurgensen at ajurgensen@plantcityobserver. com.

Painting an awesome image of what we could be as a church, with no bridge to get there, is just self-torture. Not too long ago, I saw a video of contractors hoisting and installing the top spire of the tower that replaced the World Trade Center. As you may imagine, it was, understandably, “a spectacle” — a big moment our nation awaited for a long time. Not a one of us ever would expect to reach that monumental moment without all the basics that first erected the building — the work of the architects, the engineers, the metal workers, the laborers of varying disciplines, not to mention the money. A million small-yet-achievable steps had to be taken before the final spire could reach its lofty perch. God has indeed given His church a noble call to go and make disciples of all nations, to teach everything Jesus commanded us and to baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Spirit. But this grand, intimidating mission is carried out through the same basics steps of those earliest churches: study in God’s word, the genuine fellowship of believers and all the achievable steps Acts 2 describes. There’s certainly nothing wrong with big dreams; they just have to broken down to bite-sized parts that we can accomplish. In Jesus, we have all we need to be His people and His church — by the Grace of God! Dr. David Delph is pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Plant City.

The 18-yearold righthander recently was called up to Single-A Kannapolis, after an impressive stint with the Bristol White Sox, Chicago’s Advanced Rookie League affiliate. With Bristol, Danish played in 13 games, starting one, and had a 1-0 record with a 1.38 ERA. He had 22 strikeouts in 26 innings pitched in the Appalachian League. Danish was selected in the second round (55th overall) in the June 2013 First-Year Player Draft. He finished a stellar career at Durant by leading the Cougars to the state finals. He ended his senior high school season with a 0.00 ERA. Danish becomes the fifth member of the White Sox 2013 draft class to join the Kannapolis roster.

John Hendricks, a Maryland product, comes to Durant from Newsome, where he had 1,012 all-purpose yards as a junior.
KEY
GAME OF THE WEEK ARMWOOD AT DURANT | 7:30 P.M. AUG. 30
INGREDIENT After losing standout Jamarlon Hamilton, the addition of Newsome transfer John Hendricks may be just what Durant’s backfield needs this season.
John Hendricks felt out of place. Living in the shadow of standout quarterback and Naval Academy commit Will Worth, the running back still made his mark on the stat sheet at Newsome, where he had 1,012 all-purpose yards (798 rushing and 214 receiving) as a junior. But off the field, something was missing. He wanted a family-type atmosphere, along with a platform to help make his college playing dreams a reality. “I thought it would be a better opportunity for me, because I really didn’t think that where I was at was going to give me a chance to get to the next level,” he said of his move to Durant this year. “I came here hoping to get the training and the knowledge to hopefully get to the next level.” Coming to Durant from Newsome, the Cougars’ arch rival, was a smoother transition than most may think. “The transition has been great,” Hendricks said. “They’ve been treating me like I’ve been here all along since the ninth grade.” Hendricks is a welcomed addition to the Durant football family. The senior promises to be an immediate impact player for the Cougars, who lost standout Jamarlon Hamilton (1,340 yards, 20 TD). Hendricks is being paired with returning junior running back Cris Atkins, along with fullback Kadarius Griffin. “He’s like Jamarlon in that he’s strong and runs strong,” said Durant head coach Mike Gottman. “He’s quick and powerful. He’s been a pleasant surprise, and I have nothing but good things to say about him.” Hendricks didn’t waste much time making his presence known.
It’s an aspect of sports that, at the end of the day, doesn’t really matter. But without it, sports would not be the same. I’m talking, of course, about nicknames. Some teams are known more for their nicknames than the cities they represent. No one says, “I’m a fan of Boston baseball,” they say, “I’m a fan of the Red Sox.” Some nicknames have even been taken a step further. NFL fans know that when someone says, “The Boys,” they’re talking about the Dallas Cowboys. When baseball fans hear, “The Bravos” or the “Bronx Bombers,” they know you’re speaking of the Atlanta Braves or the New York Yankees. Even in college, you hear references such as “the Tide” (Alabama), MATT “the Dawgs” (Georgia, and MAUNEY yes, unfortunately that’s the way it’s spelled) and “the Noles” (Florida State). Through all levels of sports, nicknames define a team, school or program. Some are great (Fighting Irish), some are overly used (Bulldogs, Wildcats and pretty much any NFL mascot), and some simply shouldn’t exist at all (I’m still not quite sure what a Canuck is). And we can’t forget the downright bizarre, such as the University of Santa Cruz Banana Slugs or the St. Louis University Billikens, an elfish creature that came to an art professor in a dream. For me, the uncommon nicknames are the best. These can even be found at the prep level. Sickles High, in Tampa, are the Gryphons, a fictional character with the

John Hendricks ran for a pair of touchdowns in Durant’s preseason win against Oak Ridge (Orlando). He had two rushing touchdowns in Durant’s 42-27 win over Oak Ridge (Orlando) in the preseason classic. Hendricks also will see time at linebacker and as a return specialist.
POSITIVE CHANGES
Hendricks played two seasons for Newsome, after playing his freshman year in Maryland, where he grew up playing football. “It’s a lot hotter and harder here, because everybody has the work ethic of, ‘If you’re out there working, they want to work even more to better themselves,’” he said. “The work ethic of the players and coaches and, honestly, the generosity of the people are the biggest differences.” Hendricks said he doesn’t stay in contact with anyone at Newsome to avoid smack talking and

A LOOK AHEAD Durant may have the toughest non-district schedule in the state this season. Games at Sickles, Newsome and Hillsborough and home games against Tampa Bay Tech and Gaither are lined up down the road, but the Cougars open the season at home against perennial power Armwood. Durant rode a second half surge to a 42-27 win over Oak Ridge (Orlando) last week in the preseason classic. The Cougars went into the half trailing 21-14 but outscored the Pioneers 28-6 in the second half. Armwood defeated Cooper City 44-7 last week in preseason action. The Hawks scored on three of their first four possessions in the blowout win, and their defense held Cooper City to just 95 yards.
Lexi Thompson and her teammates are constantly reminded of the history and winning tradition of the volleyball program at Durant High School. Whether its looking up on the gymnasium wall during practice and seeing the banners or hearing stories from family members and coaches, they are all well aware of where the bar has been set. “My aunt played here and later coached here when they went to state (2007), so I also want to be where she was,” Thompson said about her aunt, Dawn Hough. “We’re tired of this long lag of disappointment.” Since the program began in 1995, Durant has claimed nine region championships, but it has been six years since its last in 2007, when Hough was head coach. Current head coach Brittany Wilson Wade believes this year’s team can put an end to

CONNOR SLAGILL Plant City High junior Connor Slagill is making a name for himself. He returned this week, from Cary, N.C., where he participated in the National Team Identification Series showcase for a spot on the Team USA U17 team. He will find out if he made the team Sept. 13, a week before his 17th birthday. The third baseman hit .449 this summer for his travel ball team. He also was selected for the Under Armour 17U team and will play in October, in Arizona. Tell us about the experience at the National Team Identification Series showcase? It was amazing. I’ve never seen competition anywhere close to what I saw there. It was the coolest thing to be able to play with the best in the U.S. I was one of 18 players selected for the North Florida team, and we played against 15 other teams in a showcase for a spot on Team USA. What were the facilities like at the USA Baseball training grounds? Beautiful fields. The best fields I’ve ever played on. They had a stadium and four other fields.
was always talking and communicating. I ran out a ground ball that was hit back to the pitcher, and I was the only one to do that. People there took notice of that, and I just tried to leave it all on the field. How did your performance affect your recruiting? A few college coaches have talked to me from just seeing me up there. It was nice to know that I’m on the right path and have someone believe in me. What is the selection process for Team USA? Only eight people make it from all those teams and join the existing U17 team. Another 12 are selected to a training team. How has your game progressed at Plant City? Coach Mike (Fryrear) came into the program, and he really took control of it and really took extra time to help me along, because he sees that I have something special and I know I have that, too.
What about the coaching staff there? They assign two coaches per team, and all of them have been professionals before, so that was good training.
What’s your ultimate goal? I think I can go pro. I’m not cocky, but I’m definitely confident in my ability. If you can go pro and make enough money, you can always go back to college. Going pro is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I get that chance, I’m definitely going to take it.
How did you perform at the showcase? I can say, without a doubt, that I was the hardest-working player up there. You can ask any coach up there. I
VOLLEYBALL / PAGE 11 that drought. “What will set this group apart is discipline,” she said. “If we have discipline, we can go far.” One of the Durant gym walls displays the current school records for individual players. Chelsea Morris currently holds the record for kills in a season with 353, which she set in 2008. Thompson, an outside hitter and University of Mississippi commit, recorded 295 during her junior season. She is also narrowing in on the career kills mark. They are records her teammates want her to break, but individual records and awards aren’t important for Thompson. “I never check the stats or look to see where I’m at with stuff like that,” she said. “That stuff doesn’t matter to me. What matters is us as a team getting to November.” Durant finished 2012 with a 12-5 record but had a disappointing end in the district tournament, in which they fell to Wharton 3-2 in the semifinals. It brought on a rare postseason absence for the Lady Cougars. “With us going down, we’re hoping
to get a lot further than we have in the last couple years,” Thompson said about Durant dropping from Class 8A to 7A. “We really want to make it to November and the state tournament, and we feel like we have what it takes to do that.”
NEW FOES
After dropping down, Durant will no longer have to contend with state powers Wharton and Plant. The Lady Cougars now find themselves in Class 7A District 7, along with area rivals Plant City and Strawberry Crest, as well as Tampa Bay Tech, East Bay and Brandon. Out of those five programs, only Plant City and Strawberry Crest had winning records last season. Both advanced to regionals, but Durant defeated both rivals 3-0 in regular season non-district matches. “Our expectations are just to do our best and not worry about anyone else,” Wade said. “In reality, whoever you play, it comes down to how you’re going to match up to them.” Wade enters her third season as Durant’s coach. She played for the program from 2002 to 2006, including as a part of the 2002 state cham-
distractions and is just focused on having a great season with his new team. When he was with the Wolves, he remembers Durant for its big offensive line, something he is looking forward to having this season. “I honestly never had a line this big and this physical, so it’s a first for me, and I’m excited to be able to run behind them,” he said. “I know, with these guys, we’re going to gain big yardage every play.” As part of an option-style offense, Hendricks is excited to be included as one of those options. “I expect to have big plays and long runs,” he says. “Our offense should be exciting to watch.” Although he is a year younger, Hendricks has learned a lot from Atkins, who has been the secondleading rusher on the team behind Hamilton for the past two seasons. “He’s taught me a lot, because here they have different foot positions, so he’s taught me a lot of footwork and drills to help me in this offense,” Hendricks said.
PROSPECTING
Hendricks’ dream is to play college football. Although he currently doesn’t have any offers, he hopes the transition to Durant will pay off with an opportunity to play at the next level. While in Maryland, Hendricks was used in a variety of ways, including on special teams, as a kick and punt returner. He didn’t have that opportunity at Newsome. “I’m used to doing it, but at Newsome, they never used me back there, so I’m looking forward to that here at Durant,” he said. Hendricks will be used as playmaker in all three phases
pionship team. During those years, Wade saw great players and talented teams, but she feels the group she has this year is equally as special. “Our expectations are high,” she said. “We’d love to be in the state final four.” Durant returns seven starters, including five seniors. Four of those have played varsity since they were freshmen. “They know that this is it for them,” Wade said. “It’s now or never for them, really.” In addition to Thompson, the Lady Cougars are led by senior middle blockers Kelsey Morton and Morgan Sistrunk. Durant lost two quality players in libero Raelynn Nichols and setter Macie Jones. Junior Rachel Rice will handle setting duties, while Jasmine Shamberger and Annie Quinn will share responsibilities at libero, a defensive specialist position.
LEADING BY EXAMPLE
Thompson hasn’t waited until her senior year to be a leader for her team. “I work to be a leader, because I want to get everyone upbeat, so they’re excited to play,” she said.
OTHER AREA ACTION PLANT CITY AT STEINBRENNER
LAST WEEK: Plant City fell to Jefferson 48-26 in the preseason classic, while Steinbrenner fell to Sunlake 8-6. NOTES: The Raiders will look to bounce back defensively after giving up several big plays to Jefferson last week. Jefferson quarterback Deiondre Porter accounted for five of the Dragons’ touchdowns. His four touchdown passes all went for more than 21 yards, including a 44-yard strike to Chavez Pownell and an 85-yard bomb to Ventell Bryant. Steinrenner’s game with Sunlake was just the opposite of Plant City’s preseason match. Steinbrenner was held to just 84 total yards on offense. The Warriors went scoreless until the fourth quarter, when Cody Burgess caught two straight passes for 28 and 14 yards, setting up an 18-yard touchdown pass to Justin Moffatt from Quentin Poteralski. Landon Galloway, making his first start at QB after switching from receiver, was 15 of 24 for 250 yards and two touchdowns for Plant City.
STRAWBERRY CREST AT BLOOMINGDALE
LAST WEEK: Strawberry Crest defeated Middleton 33-0 in the preseason classic, while Bloomingdale defeated Freedom 30-14. NOTES: The Chargers will look to avenge a 28-27 loss to Bloomingdale last season. Multiple missed PATs became the difference in that game. Strawberry Crest looked sharp against Middleton in the preseason classic. Junior Tristan Hyde returns for his junior year, after a stellar sophomore campaign. Hyde connected on 9 of 14 passes for 80 yards and two scores against Middleton, with touchdown receptions from Clay Cullins and Josh Hyde. Backup quarterback Austin Carswell threw a 55-yard sideline pass to senior DJ Trigg. The preseason win comes after a blowout loss to Armwood in the spring game. The Chargers defense lost several key playmakers, especially in the linebacking unit, but will feature the Carswell brothers — Alex and Austin — as well as Plant City High transfer Matt Chaney this season. After Freedom bounced back from a 14-0 deficit to tie the game, Bloomingdale scored the final 16 points of the game in their preseason classic. Isaiah McIntyre returns as the Bulls quarterback after passing for 1,214 yards last season as a freshman. Bloomingdale will be breaking in a young backfield after losing leading rusher Eugene Baker (791 yards, 10 TD). Junior Doug Sanberg scored early in the Bulls preseason game with Freedom.
of the game, and he hopes that versatility will turn some college recruiters’ heads. “I’ve had interest from a couple schools, and I’m just hoping they come and
That leadership doesn’t always have to come from being vocal off the court, explained Wade. “Lexi’s leadership is unique,” Wade said. “When she’s on the floor, everyone wants to be like Lexi.” Coaching Thompson brings a special challenge for Wade, and she says she has enjoyed that challenge. “When I come out here, I have to coach better because of Lexi,” she said. “That’s a special opportunity and a challenging opportunity to have.”
SMALL-TOWN GIRL
Thompson, a native of Plant City, was a setter for five years before making the switch to outside hitter as a freshman at Sickles High School, in Tampa. She came to Durant as a sophomore and has played the position ever since. In addition to the year living in Tampa, she also lived for 18 months, in Ft. Myers. But, she says, the city life isn’t for her. “I just like small towns, because everyone knows one another, and everyone is more friendly,” she said. “I feel a lot more comfortable walking around outside in Plant City
see our games and offer me there,” he said. “You just have to keep working.” Contact Matt Mauney at mmauney@plantcityobserver. com.
STRAWBERRY CREST AT DURANT WHEN: 7 p.m. Aug. 29 WHERE: Durant High School, 4748 Cougar Path, Plant City NOTES: Area rivals face off in the district opener for both teams. Strawberry Crest and Durant are in the same district (Class 7A District 7) for the first time. than I do in Tampa.” That’s why she was attracted to Ole Miss, a large university set in the small town of Oxford, Miss. Ole Miss has shown interest in Thompson since her sophomore year at Durant. After visiting the school last May, she made her commitment official. “What drew me to there was their engineering program, because I want to get my master’s (degree) in civil engineering,” she said. “It was also beautiful there. I loved the campus and the town was country and reminded me of Plant City.” Contact Matt Mauney at mmauney@plantcityobserver.com.

Plant City, Durant kick off season Durant and Plant City kicked off the 2013 high school golf season Aug. 26, at Walden Lake Golf and Country Club. The Durant boys team defeated Plant City 172 to 182. The Cougars were led by Chase Levesque, who shot a 39. Plant City was led by William George (41). The Plant City girls team defeated Durant 175 to 200. The Lady Raiders were led by Kendall Johnson’s 39. Kellyanne Hurst and Kaylee McIntosh both shot a 42 on the day. Krista Reinhardt led Durant with a 45, while Samantha Rentzt shot a 49. Right: Kaylee McIntosh shot a 42 on the day.
MAUNEY / PAGE 11 head, talons and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion made famous in Lewis Carroll’s book “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” I thought I found a gem in one of my old coverage schools in northeast Georgia — the Jefferson High Dragons — only to discover that there is a school of the same name and mascot in Tampa. Although, I do prefer the Georgia school’s red, white and blue color scheme over Tampa Jefferson’s blue and yellow. When tweeting out promotional teasers for their 2013 football preview Aug. 15, our partners at the Tampa Bay Times tweeted a photo of Strawberry Crest’s Alex Carswell and Tristan Hyde with the message: “We always said Strawberry Crest should’ve been the Fighting Berries.” Although the post was all in good fun, it got me thinking. If Plant City’s three area high schools didn’t carry the nicknames or mascots they have, what would be good alternatives? So, in the sake of harmless fun, here are my suggestions for name changes — should school administrators experience sudden change of heart or if college or pro teams get an urge to slap on a lawsuit for naming rights.
PLANT CITY
Before the current Plant City High School was built, area students attended what is now Tomlin Middle School for their high school years. That location graduated 17 classes, from 1956 to 1972, holding the nickname the “Planters,” the school’s mascot before being changed to the current Raiders nickname. The Planters nickname was fitting for rural Plant City, and while it may not be as intimidating as the Raiders, it’s uniqueness and ties with the area carry a lot of weight. What makes the Raiders work is the original logos and unforgettable aqua/orange color scheme. It’s refreshing to see that the school didn’t just “borrow” the Oakland Raiders logo and change the colors, like so many other high schools across the country. If the name had to be changed, I would steal one from PCHS flag football coach Larry Langston and go with the “Vandals.” Langston used the nickname for his team during a summer flag football tournament at Otis Andrews Park. It keeps the Raider feel but is a lesser-used nickname.
DURANT
The Cougars nickname fits into the “overly used” category, but at least Durant didn’t take the easy way out. Like Plant City, they carry original logos. While the blue cougar head resembling the purple rendition of the Kansas State Wildcats still can be seen around school, the football team came out with a new cougar head logo last season. It especially looks sharp with Durant’s navy blue/gold color scheme. But, if there is one thing that people think of when thinking of Durant, it’s the rural surroundings of the school. The front of the school and the football practice fields are bordered by cow pastures. If the wind hits just right on a Friday night, opponents can smell Durant’s four-legged neighbors. So, why not play off that?
The Durant Thundering Herd has a nice ring to it. Sure, it would be taking one from Marshall University, but it’s still more original than the current mascot. If you wanted to even go more original, how about the Durant Ranchers?
STRAWBERRY CREST
With a unique school name already, finding a good nickname for Strawberry Crest is no easy task. Like the other two Plant City-area schools, SCHS took the common nickname route with the “Chargers” but switched it up with an original-ish logo of a horse’s head. The school colors of black and red are common-but-attractive look, so most mascots would pop under that color scheme. As silly as it may sound, having the “Fighting Berries” as
the school’s mascot would not be so bad. Just picture a giant strawberry wearing high tops and boxing gloves roaming the sidelines at football games. It may not be the most intimidating mascot in the world, but it would sure garner a lot of attention. Schools should take pride in their mascots, but it’s also about having fun — and what’s more fun than a giant berry with a fierce scowl on his face? Plus, teams are ultimately remembered by how they perform, so I can’t think of anything better than seeing the “Fighting Berries” being crowned state champions one day. In response to a Plant City Times & Observer Facebook post, readers Dona Brigg and Lori Kilbride Bean suggested “Seeds of Destruction.” I guess that covers all the bases.
