Nik Wallenda has turned his death-defying stunts into a successful business and platform for a positive message.

A FINE LINE SKY’S THE LIMIT by Amber Jurgensen | Associate Editor

There’s no tiptoeing around it.

Nik Wallenda is ambitious and fearless, which, in his profession, means one of two things: success or death.

Wallenda has walked where no man has before. Teetering 1,500 feet over the Little Colorado River this June, 23 million Americans held their breath. Each step was a tiny dagger stabbing into the 1,300-foot tightrope.

The Sarasota-based daredevil was in limbo for a grueling 23 minutes. The desert sun burned a hole in his back. Forty-eight mph winds swirled around his balance.

Suddenly, Wallenda knelt on the cable and saluted his fans. The end was in sight.

He burst forward, sprinting to the other side.

Wallenda hadn’t just finished a highly publicized stunt. He had completed yet another lifelong dream, six years in the making.

And he had never given up.

That’s the message Wallenda

takes to audiences around the world. And it’s one that Youth Alliance Director Mike Nelson found inspiring.

Wallenda will be one of the celebrity guests at The Youth Alliance’s Jeans and Jacket Gala Nov. 21, at the Strawberry Festival Expo Hall. The performer will join Buccaneers Adam Hayward and William Gholston, two-time Super Bowl champion Anthony “Booger” McFarland and keynote speaker Reggie Dabbs.

The gala benefits The Youth Alliance, an organization that encourages troubled youth to discover their abilities and talents through motivational speaking, family nights and community events.

Nelson said Wallenda’s incredible heroics and positive message aligned with The Youth Alliance’s mission.

“One of the themes of his book is never give up,” Nelson said.

A bright red and yellow box sits at the front of the Plant City’s First Baptist Church Learning Center. Covered in daisy wrapping paper, it can’t be missed.

And although it’s only been there for a month, it’s already filled to the brim with games and toys.

The box is part of the Daisy Project, the passion project of Walden Lake second-grader Chloe Shinneman. It’s her mission to collect toys, gift cards and crafts for children with cancer at St. Joseph’s Hospital, in Tampa.

It is something that had been on Chloe’s mind since September. Mother Tricia Shinneman and Chloe were on their way to Lowe’s Home Improvement, when Chloe finally spoke up about her idea. She brought up her sick friends.

“She said, ‘Well I want to collect things to make them happy,’” Shinneman said.

Chloe had just been to a sleepover with her friend Natalie Harrell, who had had a cancerous tumor removed from her brain earlier this year. She still gets treatment at St Joseph’s Hospital.

“She’s nice and friendly,” Chloe said.

“At the sleepover, she got to spend more time with her, and I think she really got to know her more,” Shinneman said. “I think that’s what spurred it.”

Shinneman curiously pressed her daughter for more information.

What types of things do you want to collect?

Chloe brainstormed.

Coloring books, crayons and games.

Together, the mother-daughter team thought of a name for her charity. After much delib-

Commission denies Dollar General rezone Residents cited reasons that changes to a parcel west of Paul Buchman Highway would impact their neighborhood.

PowerPoint presentation.

“Myself and a lot of residents in this neighborhood feel like this going to be detrimental,” Jones said.

Jones brought commissioners down to what he called the ground level, showing the commission photographs of the neighborhood including an unpaved Hancock Street and a congested Franklin Street during Shiloh Charter School drop-off and pick-up times.

He also shared that drivers looking to avoid a four-way stop will speed through the neighborhood streets. On more than one occasion, drivers have ended up in his yard.

On behalf of the petitioner, attorney Judy James argued that the Dollar Store would not bring a substantial amount of new traffic to the neighborhood.

James said 60% of the Dollar General traffic would be existing recaptured traffic. The Dollar General isn’t a high-turnover store, she said.

Furthermore, she said the new retail facility actually would bring much-needed road improvements and that the company would work with residents on ways to handle traffic such as a

North Plant City residents scored a victory Nov. 12, when Plant City commissioners denied a rezone request to build a Dollar General store near their neighborhood.

The residents cited numerous reasons the rezone request of a parcel west of Paul Buchman Highway just north of West Terrace Drive would impact the surrounding neighborhood.

Their words did not fall silent, as the commission denied proposed ordinances that would affect the parcel.

“I cannot say it would be in the best interest of the community,” Commissioner Mike Sparkman said. “At this time, with the current situation and traffic pattern, I would have to agree with the other commissioners.”

The rezone would require that a single driveway be placed on West Terrace Drive as an access point to a 9,100-square-foot Dollar General store. Although the parcel’s eastern border is on Paul Buchman Highway, the Florida Department of Transportation requires at least 650 feet between a driveway and the nearest intersection.

Resident Steve Jones fought to save his already-congested neighborhood with a comprehensive

medians or speed bumps. She also said the company would install in a right-turn lane on West Terrace Drive to handle traffic.

Steve Sloan, of Pickett Engineering, represented the applicant and agreed to work with residents on their concerns.

“I’m hearing lots of complaints about the access point,” Sloan said. “We don’t want to add to that.

We want to help alleviate it.”

But, the residents weren’t convinced.

“People are already coming down there like ‘Dukes of Hazzard,’” resident Reid Sewell said.

“You really just have to go out there and see the situation.”

That’s exactly what Commissioner Bill Dodson did. He visited the neighborhood three times.

During rush hour, Dodson said he waited for a long time in a line of cars waiting to pull off West Terrace Drive onto Paul Buchman Highway.

“It’s a matter of quality versus quantity,” Dodson said. “It changed my view. Before that, I was leaning towards commercialization.”

Commissioner Billy Keel also visited the neighborhood.

“If this property had an available access point off Paul Buch-

In the end, commissioners sided with the residents. At the applicant’s request the adoption of a small scale map amendment was also dropped after the rezoning fell through.

“We’re pleased; I’m pleased,” Jones said. “The downside is there’s not an access point off State Road 39 for the property owner. If that was there, I don’t think you’d see the concern.”

ON THE RIGHT TRACK

by Amber Jurgensen | Associate Editor

Red caboose finds new digs in downtown R.W. “Bob” Willaford’s 1963 red caboose will be moved this week to the Train Depot.

It’s the pride of R.W. “Bob” Willaford’s extensive railroad collection. The 1963 red caboose has been anchored in his front yard for years. Every year, Willaford and his wife, Felice, throw Easter and Christmas parties for children, complete with a tour of the caboose.

But now, the caboose will have a new home.

The caboose along with an engine and other train artifacts will be moved Nov. 14, to the site of the train viewing platform in Historic Downtown.

On Monday, C.J. Bridges Railroad Contractor installed tracks for the caboose. The agreement was made Oct. 22 — at no cost to the city.

Also donating services will be Brewington’s Towing Service, Wetherington Tractor Service and Sims Crane & Equipment. The companies will be moving the equipment around 1:30 p.m.

“It’s quite extensive,” City Commissioner Mike Sparkman said of the collection.

Appraised at $220,000, the collection also includes signal lights from crossings, benches Willaford made himself out of steel wheels and wood pallets and different types of carts and service vehicles. There are about 27 items being donated.

Some of the memorabilia will be displayed outside next to the train platform, which is currently under construction. Others will be integrated to the already existing displays inside the depot.

In exchange for the memorabilia, the city agreed to rename the depot the Robert W. Willaford Railroad Museum.

“He didn’t want his stuff to become scrap iron,” Sparkman said. “We wanted it to enrich the heritage of Plant City. So it was a win-win situation.”

Sparkman said the negotiation had taken about six months.

“I’ve known him for a long time,” Sparkman said.

The commissioner had seen Willaford’s holiday traditions in the newspapers. But, he also knew him through his brother-in-law who worked alongside Willaford at CSX. The train memorabilia is part of a plan to draw tourists to the area by playing upon Plant City’s rich rail history.

“We’re excited about it,” Sparkman said. “It’s taken a lot of work by a lot of people.”

According to Sheriff’s Office reports, at about 3:20 p.m. Nov. 7, a roadrage incident occurred between James Gritzinger, of Riverview, and James

There was a feeding frenzy Nov. 9, at the Train Depot, during Plant City’s annual Empty Bowls event.

Attendees were able to sample delicious soups made by local churches. They also selected a ceramic bowl made by area students.

The train viewing platform is at full steam.

The brickwork is being completed.

Construction on the roof also has started.

Installation of an elevator for guests with disabilities will begin at the end of November.

City Commissioner Mike Sparkman hopes to have the platform done by the end of the month, as well.

The platform was modeled loosely around Georgia’s Folkston Funnel viewing area.The Folkston Funnel is a double track that serves as the main artery for railroad traffic into and out of Florida.

Like Folkston’s platform, Plant City’s will have a scanner to hear the transmissions between trains. Both platforms also have restored depots. However, when complete, Plant City’s version will feature a 14-foot tower, in addition to the lower deck platform.

Overall, it’s bigger.

About 25 trains come through Plant City daily.

Sparkman wants to plan an event for early February centered around the train-viewing hobby. The event will also be modeled after Folkston’s annual event Rail Watch Weekend in April.

The Empty Bowls project mixes art and social activism by bringing pottery and painting to children in the community and raising awareness of hunger in the United States.

The event benefits the United Food Bank of Plant City.

Reynolds Sr., the suspect’s father, while traveling south on U.S. 301, approaching Rhodine Road. Reynolds Sr. called his son, Reynolds Jr., and advised him of the situation and that their direction of travel was east on Rhodine Road.

About one mile east of U.S. 301, Gritzinger and Reynolds Sr. exited their vehicles and engaged in a physical altercation on the side of Rhodine Road. Gritzinger then got back into his vehicle and continued east, toward the intersection of Balm Riverview Road and Rhodine Road. Reynolds Jr. was there waiting for him, standing on the southwest corner of the intersection.

As Gritzinger came to a stop at the stop sign, Reynolds Jr. opened fire with a laser sight-equipped pistol, striking the front passenger side door

three times and the passenger side of the windshield once. Gritzinger sped off and was not injured.

+ Festival exhibitors tag swine for upcoming show Exhibitors showing a pig in the 2014 Florida Strawberry Festival Swine Show hauled their pigs to the festival grounds Nov. 4, to be tagged for the upcoming show.

Eighty-six exhibitors are expected to show at the 2014 show, and festival officials require each pig be given an ear tag at an early age for identification purposes.

“Our swine exhibitors take great pride in their projects, and that was obvious today in the enthusiasm of the exhibitors and the quality of animals

we saw,” Florida Strawberry Festival General Manager Paul Davis said.

“I strongly encourage our visitors to attend our livestock shows and support the hardworking young people we have in our community.”

The swine show is a popular competition among the youth of Eastern Hillsborough County. Nearly 200 applications are received each year, forcing the festival to hold a drawing to determine who will fill the allotted exhibitor positions.

Swine exhibitors range in age from 8 to 18 years old and must be a resident of Hillsborough County and a member of a 4-H club or FFA chapter.

The 2014 Florida Strawberry Festival Swine Show will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, 2014, at the Agriculture Center, 2301 W. Oak Ave.

WALLENDA / PAGE 1 “That’s also something we focus on.”

Wallenda might be most known as a seventh-generation member of the Flying Wallendas, the famous family of circus performers. The husband and father of three young children is also an aerialist, an acrobat, a high-wire artist and a self-described daredevil. Other monikers for Wallenda include: reality TV star, eight-time Guinness World Record holder and motivational speaker.

Wallenda has been performing since before he was born. His mother, Delilah, walked the high wire while six months pregnant with the future world-record breaker. Passed down from generations of high-wire artists, Wallenda’s natural talent has always been a factor in his success.

“I’m an entertainer, and I love what I do,” Wallenda said. “I actually don’t think I’m an adrenaline junky, at all. I guess maybe there is some adrenaline, but it’s something I’ve been doing so long, so it’s not new to me.”

But mind over matter is also something that can make or break him.

“It’s a mental game, to be honest,” Wallenda said. “At this point in my life, it’s all mental, when you get up high. I’ve been walking a wire since I was 2 years old.

It’s about focus. It’s a totally different me up there; a totally different demeanor takes over. Fear is a choice, and danger is real.”

Wallenda has put himself

in very real danger. In 2001, he set his first world record in Kurashiki, Japan, for the four-layer, eight-person pyramid on a high wire. In 2008, he broke the world record for the highest and longest bike ride on a wire in Newark, N.J. In 2012, he became the first person to trek a wire directly over Niagara Falls.

But in 2011, Wallenda triumphantly completed a walk that meant more than records and fame. It was a 135-foot crossing between the two towers of the Condado Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The stunt was the same one that Wallenda’s grandfather, Karl, attempted in 1978.

But Karl never finished.

He plunged 10 stories to his death.

This year’s Grand Canyon crossing marked Wallenda’s eighth world record.

Wallenda says his mission isn’t just to find new and bolder feats. He also wants to promote a can-do brand of determination, persistence and fortitude. He clearly was born with a certain talent, but he emphasizes that he will outwork anyone, no matter the task. That goes from researching contracts to walking tightropes.

“If you are going to do something, do it to the best of your ability,” Wallenda says. “I believe in working hard. I work my butt off.”

to 2010, 15.6% of children ages 6 to 19 had untreated tooth decay and from 2005 to 2008, 23.7% of adults ages 20 to 64 had untreated tooth decay, according to the Center for Disease Control.

“Our team is committed to lifetime dental care, because good oral health is integral to overall health,” Hoveida said.

“By participating in this program, our goal is to engage patients and encourage them to adopt an ongoing oral care program and a lifelong regimen of preventative care.”

A choice of one free extraction or filling for adults and sealant or cleaning for children up to age 12 will be given on Free Dentistry Day. Free Dentistry Day is part of a larger movement that has organized dentists throughout the United States to offer free care.

HOW TO PREVENT TOOTH DECAY A dental cavity is a hole in a tooth.

The hole is formed by certain types of bacteria that use sugars in food to make acids. Over time, the acids eat away at the enamel, or hard outer surface of the tooth.

Minerals in the saliva, such as calcium and phosphate, plus fluoride help repair enamel by replacing minerals lost during the everyday acid attack.

HOW TO HELP

The Daisy Project is taking up a variety of items for children with cancer at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Items can be dropped off at First Baptist Learning Center, 503. N. Palmer St. The items include but are not limited to: • Toys • Games • Coloring books • Crayons • Video games • Gift certificates • Fun pillowcases

But when a tooth is exposed to acid more frequently, enamel can lose too many minerals. Over time, the enamel is weakened and destroyed, forming a cavity. The cavity is permanent damage a dentist has to repair with a filling.

Fluoride is one way to prevent cavities.

About 74% of Americans are served by a community water supply system that has fluoride. Plant City’s water has fluoride.

DAISY / PAGE 1 eration, Chloe blurted out, “Daisy.”

Shinneman was curious.

What did a flower have to do with cancer?

But Chloe had an explanation planned out.

You know that game where you pick the petals off the flowers and say, ‘He loves me; he loves me not?’ I want them to know He loves them.

The name stuck.

Every day, Chloe has been begging her mom to make flyers. And Chloe has been passionate about passing them out. During a trip to Tasty Treat, she rolled down her window. In an excited

“We chose November because of Thanksgiving,” Davenport said. “We wanted to show we were thankful for our community.”

Toothpaste also contains fluoride.

Diet is also important in preventing a cavity. Foods high in sugars and starches lead to tooth decay. Limit between meal snacks. This gives teeth time to repair themselves. Limit candy, cookies, soda and other sugary drinks, such as fruit juice. Don’t drink or eat anything with sugar in it after bedtime toothbrushing.

And always brush your teeth two times per day.

shrill, Chloe gabbed about the Daisy Project to an employee who handed Chloe her ice cream. Chloe handed her a flyer.

Chloe also encouraged Shinneman to make a Facebook page for the Daisy Project.

“Every day, she asks how many Likes it has,” Shinneman said.

The next step was to have a collection drop-off point.

Shinneman teaches at First Baptist Learning Center, and her family also attends church there. So, it was only natural to get the congregation involved.

“As a school and as a church, we decided to support it,” Director Kim

Shouse said. “We are a dropoff place for the supplies.”

Chloe also met with one of the pastors to discuss other ideas for collections. The church decided to put two Christmas trees up for the project. Each tree will have an angel ornament on it with a description of an item nurses have requested for the children.

Shinneman hopes to drop off the goodies around Thanksgiving, before the Christmas trees go up.

“It’s really laid on her heart that she really wants to help these children,” Shinneman said.

Luckily, my 6-foot-3 partner could carry me. Literally.

Ladies and gents, the tricks you are about to see are all to Beau Walden’s credit. The vice president of Plant City’s Traditions Bank actually has some groove going on.

For 10 weeks, we’ve been practicing sassy Charleston moves to bring you a theatrical performance worthy of a speakeasy stage. And that’s all I will say. Because I don’t want to ruin the show for you.

As we learned more steps, the practices turned into a full-on workout. We were sweating. We were working hard. I ripped my shirt, and two shoes were sacrificed to the dance gods.

With a lot of help from our teacher and encouragement from the Zumba class that uses the Stardust dance floor after us, we finally were able to master the art of dance and find our right feet.

Tomorrow, we face the crowd and try not to fall on our faces. But in the midst of this naturally nervous anticipation, it makes me ponder.

The competition is part of a larger purpose.

In addition to dancing, we’ve also been raising money so the Rotary Club can buy automated defibrillators for the Plant City Police Department.

It’s a good deed. But it takes so much work. So many club members have been involved. First finding the dance couples. Then, arranging for

food and drinks and setting up the stage and chairs. Of course, the event would not be a success without all those who have purchased tickets and businesses who have graciously sponsored couples and donated silent auction items.

There is so much support in Plant City, and there are so many that band together to help. But, like learning a dance, changing lives and brightening the community takes time. It’s not always easy. Of course, in the end, it’s worth it.

And although each couple deserves their round of applause at the end of their dance tomorrow, the movers and shakers deserve one too — for making this community a better place.

One step at a time.

SCOUT’S HONOR by Justin Kline | Staff Writer

EDITOR

+ Improvement League appreciative of award

Dear Editor: The Improvement League of Plant City Inc., is honored to be the recipient of the Special Business Award, sponsored by KDM Associates, at the Greater Plant City Chamber of Commerce’s Business of the Year Banquet.

Back in 1996, the Improvement League challenged the interpretation of the guidelines set on the use of community-development dollars for areas of blight and poverty. This resulted in the City of Plant City investing those millions of dollars into the following: • Boys & Girls Club site construction and paid staff; • Community Development Corporation and affordable housing; • Construction of the Boys & Girls Club multipurpose building at the MLK Sports Complex (League raised matching funds); • Investment and implementation (construction) of improvements to Laura Street and Lincoln Park, such as Sam Cooper Park, Laura two street alignment, drainage, connection to historic downtown and, of course, the Bing Rooming House Museum; and • Support of reversal of rezoning to allow and promote minority businesses in and along Laura Street by the City of Plant City.

The Improvement League also hosts the Annual Plant City MLK Festival that has been held for 28 years and promotes cultural diversity, inclusion and generates an economic boost the to the local economy through four days of activities, including a carnival and midway, a parade highlighting the six historic sites in Plant City and surrounding area to visitors, and community-service projects.

The Improvement League continues to work with the City of Plant City and Greater Plant City Chamber of Commerce to support long-term economic growth and sustainability.

+ Homeless deserve to be heard, as well Dear Editor: My name is Barbara Grainger, and my husband, Robert, and I head up the Cowboy Up Ministry’s feeding of the homeless on Tuesday nights. Robert is a third-generation farmer, and, together, we feel a calling on our lives to feed people. We are so vested in this program and love the people we serve.

I can understand the concerns of the local residents, because I had reservations myself when I first began working with this ministry more than one year ago. I don’t think this situation is going away, so I would like to propose a follow-up article. I believe that fear is born out of ignorance. These homeless people are not nameless, faceless weirdos. They are poor and hungry, and they each have a voice and a story.

Gail, for instance, is 55 and lives in a tent behind a Wheeler Street business. She was married for 23 years to a man who left her for another woman. This began a downhill spiral, and, now, she is alone and homeless, without much hope to recover.

I could help facilitate an interview for you with several of the folks. I think it’s unfair to leave them out of the equation. They have a right to be heard, and, maybe, if some of these fearful, uncomfortable people could know their stories, then maybe they would be less unkind.

Chase Dunn completed recently this new sign at the entrance to Alderman’s Ford Park’s canoe launch.

SIGN OF THE TIMES Boy Scout Chase Dunn made new signs for Alderman’s Ford Park on his way to earning Eagle Scout status.

If there’s anything that can be said of Chase Dunn, it’s that he’s one step ahead of the game.

Dunn, 17, is a senior at Plant City High School and a longtime Boy Scout. He completed his Eagle Scout project on Nov. 9, making some cosmetic changes at Alderman’s Ford Park. But, simply installing two new signs and leaving it at that wasn’t enough.

“Bigger, better, more colorful,” Dunn says. “If someone was going to miss the turn, now they won’t.

They’ll see the sign.”

The new-look signs are made of old canoes and telephone poles and are indeed difficult to miss. On top of designing these new signs for the park’s recently reopened canoe launch, Dunn also designed an irrigation system to go with the fresh new landscaping underneath each canoe.

The idea for the new signs came from Park Manager Bryan Hughes, who had installed the old signs years ago. Hughes noted many visitors weren’t aware of the old signs’ existence, so there wasn’t as much traffic going to the park as he would have liked.

Dunn decided he wanted to fix that problem, and, with help from his father, Dr. Jeffrey Dunn, and his fellow troop members, he got to work. The end result looks great, just as one would expect from someone so meticulous.

GOING BIG

Troop 5 is one of many groups in which Dunn participates. The senior is very much involved at Plant City High School and Plant City’s First Baptist Church. At school, Dunn, a National Merit Commended Scholar, is a member of the National Honor Society, the 1290 Honor Club, Future Business

A team helped complete the new signs last weekend. Chase Dunn has been involved with scouting for 12 years.

Leaders of America, Civitan Club and Youth Alive. He boasts a 6.04 GPA and has Ivy League aspirations.

“Harvard or Yale would probably be my dream schools,” Dunn says.

He has applied to Florida and Florida State but would prefer to study business at one of the Ivies, if given the chance.

“He made a dream to go to Ivy when he was a kid, so we’ve been trying to work toward him going in that direction,” Jeffrey Dunn said.

“Right now, it’s a matter of turning in the paperwork and seeing where the chips fall.”

Anyone who has applied for college knows writing the essay is usually a hassle, but Dunn got that requirement out of the way a while ago.

“I’ve actually already written an essay about my experience with the scouts,” he says.

He also enjoys donating his time to community service, helping out at the United Food Bank

of Plant City whenever he can.

But, he says the scouts have been the most prominent part of his life for the past 12 years, and his father is proud to have been a part of that experience.

THERE FOR EVERYTHING

Jeffrey Dunn was also a Boy Scout, and, after his son joined the Cub Scouts, he decided to get back into the program.

“I’m one of the assistant scout masters, and I’ve been involved for about nine years,” he said.

“I still remember when (Chase) came home in first grade with the flyer and said, ‘I want to go to this meeting to find out more about scouts.’”

Jeffrey Dunn became involved after the first two years and got to watch his son and the rest of the troop become close friends over the years. In fact, many of them are still together in the same troop, completing final projects.

“Because of their friendship,

NOT SO COMMON

Readers may recall the story of Spencer and Chris Tatum, twins who also completed an Eagle Scout project, from a previous issue. Like the Tatums, Chase Dunn has been involved with the Scouts since he was very young — Dunn joined the Cub Scouts in first grade.

Although it may seem like these Eagle Scout stories are common, Dunn and the Tatums actually are joining a small group: Only seven percent of all eligible Boy Scouts earned the rank of Eagle Scout in 2012.

none of them was in a hurry to finish their final projects,” he said.

“They were all pushing until the end — kept them together.”

Now that the end is near, Dunn and the boys wanted this Eagle Scout project to be great.

NEW LOOK

For this project, Chase Dunn decided to refurbish some old canoes with a fresh coat of paint and big, bright letters. He also added paddle-shaped signs marking the site of the canoe launch and cleared the area around them for irrigation and landscaping.

The canoes were mounted onto recycled telephone poles cut to about six feet. Buoys and ship rope also were added for decorative purposes. The plants around the signs are all carefully-chosen Florida natives, so as not to bring any invasive species into the mix.

Dunn and a team of about nine, including his father, went to the park around 8 a.m. Nov. 9, and toiled away until the afternoon.

The end result was a noticeable improvement, even paying some homage to the previous design.

Now, it’s safe to say no one will miss the entrance to the park’s canoe launch, thanks to Dunn’s design.

GAME OF THE WEEK

Plant City phenom buckles up for national stage

PLANT CITY AT SICKLES | 7:30 P.M. NOV. 15

RACING

+ Son of Plant City resident honored

by Justin Kline | Staff Writer

Plant City resident Pat Comstock now can say her son is a hall-of-famer.

Kevin Helms was inducted Nov. 3, into the Michigan Motor Sports Hall of Fame, for his successes in drag racing.

Helms, 48, has been drag racing since 1987 and has built up quite a résumé in 26 years. He is a three-time NHRA World Champion, an eight-time division champion and has won 26 national events. Helms was also the youngest inductee this year, citing almost a 30-year age difference between himself and the next-youngest one.

“I told the crowd, ‘I figured I peaked too soon,’” Helms said.

Aidan Keel may be a better driver than many people two or three times his age.

The 12-year-old is considered one of the world’s top go-karters in his age group.

BASKETBALL

+ Boys hoops set to tip off Although the girls’ season already has begun, the boys are just getting ready to take the court.

And with next week comes a series of home openers: All three schools will kick off the 2013 season on Monday and Tuesday.

The Durant Cougars will be the first team to play its home opener, hosting Bloomingdale at 6:30 p.m.

Nov. 18. They begin district play two nights later at Brandon High School.

Plant City and Strawberry Crest both open at home at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 19, with the Raiders hosting Plant and the Chargers hosting Armwood. It will be Crest’s second game of the season, though, because the Chargers have a game at Blake High School Monday night.

SOCCER

+ Area programs off to strong start Three of Plant City’s high school soccer programs have kicked off the 2013 season with a bang.

On the boys side, Strawberry Crest has only played two games but have won both in convincing fashion. Next up for the Chargers is a match at 6 p.m. Nov. 14, at Bloomingdale.

Two of the girls’ programs also have been playing well.

Plant City’s Lady Raiders are currently 4-1-0 and have given up just two goals over that span. One of them came in last week’s 1-0 loss to Newsome, and the other in an 8-1 smackdown at Strawberry Crest.

The Durant Lady Cougars have yet to lose a game, and boast a 3-0-2 record.

They continue their season at 8 p.m. Nov. 14, taking on the King Lions.

Christian Hoyle almost didn’t get cleared to play sports in 2013 — he made it by the skin of his teeth. But the Plant City senior has made it through football season with no setbacks and is determined to get back to full-strength workouts.

HOYLE’S HEART Everything was going well for Christian Hoyle, until the day he passed out. A serious heart condition was uncovered, and the Raiders’ placekicker had to miss his entire junior season. He’s back in action now and letting nothing stand in the way of his dreams.

Imagine, for a moment, what it would be like to live with a heart condition that, for no obvious reason, can cause sudden death.

Sounds scary, right? Try walking in Christian Hoyle’s shoes.

“You hear about the athletes just randomly dropping and dying on the field, and that’s basically what I have,” Hoyle says.

Hoyle’s heart is vulnerable to arrhythmia, a condition that causes one’s heart to either beat too fast or too slow.

In his case, his heart doesn’t beat as fast as he needs it to when he’s exerting himself.

This may be more of a nightmare for athletes than a physical injury: They can come back from an ACL tear or Tommy John surgery stronger than before, but a heart condition such as this turns even a light workout into a

tightrope walk with no safety net. Especially tough for Hoyle is that he was forced to miss his junior season for both of his favorite sports — football and soccer.

And it all goes back to one day, when he was at the doctor’s office for something else completely.

UNPLEASANT SURPRISE

“At the end of my sophomore year, I was sick before exam week, and I passed out in the doctor’s office,” Hoyle says. “So, they took me to the hospital, but the hospital said I was alright.”

For the time being, he was.

But he said the doctor had a feeling that something else was wrong, so he suggested that Hoyle see a cardiologist.

He was tested in every way possible, and the problem was discovered: His heart wasn’t pumping at a normal rate.

LAST WEEK’S ACTION ARMWOOD 40, STRAWBERRY CREST 6 NOTES: Armwood did

all of its work in the first half, taking the opportunity to cruise in the second.

Jordan Smith scored the Chargers’ only touchdown of the game in the fourth quarter, but the PAT missed. With the loss, Crest finished the 2013 season at 6-4.

“They couldn’t find out exactly what it was, but I went through surgery and all that,” Hoyle says. “It’s getting better, but I’m on medication.”

The senior has a genetic disorder, often referred to

CARSON KNOX Carson Knox, 16, who lives in Plant City, is the first person in his family not to swim for the Raiders. He is a junior at Lakeland Christian and is doing big things in the pool. Most recently, he swam a 54.65 in the 100 fly at FHSAA State Championship Nov. 8, bumping himself up to 21st overall.

Tell me about this week.

I won best time, and jumped up a few seeds from where I was seeded. I was seeded 24th before.

You broke a few school records this year, including some of your own. How would you say you performed this season?

I’ve wanted to break some records since I was a freshman, and I knew going into this year that I had a good shot at breaking most of them.

I just went out there and swam to see what would happen.

What are some of your hobbies?

I really enjoy watching football. College, NFL, whatever it might be. I like hanging out with my friends, going to dinner, eating wings, watching football.

My teams are the Florida Gators, who aren’t doing

too well, the Tampa Bay Bucs, who (also) aren’t doing too well. ... I watch all the other games, though.

Do you have any plans for college?

This spring, I’ll start emailing some colleges and narrow down my list. I probably want to go out of state. There are only three Division I colleges in Florida with a men’s swim team.

You went to Colorado this summer to train.

What was that like?

We took a nine-day trip to the Olympic training center in Colorado Springs. We got to use the Olympic facilities, which were really nice, and practice every day at a high altitude so that, whenever we came back, it was much easier to swim. It really helped us a lot with our performance.

KEEL / PAGE 11 the kids loved to watch him compete.

Once they got a taste of the action from the driver’s seat, they were hooked.

“The boys were exposed to it from an early age,” Ryan says. “We rented some karts at Andersen for a day, and they loved it.”

Joe’s racing career came to an abrupt end in 2005, when a fire broke out at the winery and destroyed all of his go-karts.

The grandfather then bought some karts for Aidan and his twin brother, Ian, six years ago, and the family began driving at Andersen Racing Team’s home track in Palmetto.

Aidan and Ian both got into competitive racing five years ago, and although Ryan was never into it, he became the mechanic. Ian still competes but at a lower level than his twin. He’ll join the family on this trip to New Orleans, but as a spectator.

ALL RACING, ALL THE TIME

Aidan is a part of Andersen’s six-man mini-max racing team, comprising kids ages 12 to 17. Andersen has one of eight tracks in the state, and that’s where the family trains.

After a day of classes at Williams Middle Magnet School, in Tampa, Aidan and his family head straight for Palmetto. Aidan

GOTW / PAGE 11 as Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome. It’s a treatable condition, but it’s often hiding in plain sight: Young, otherwise healthy people can be felled at any time during exercise. Children whose parents have the condition have a 50% chance of inheriting it, and there are 4,000 deaths per year among children and young adults with SADS.

ONE YEAR LOST

Even with surgery and medication, treating Hoyle’s heart wasn’t going to be a quick, easy process. He couldn’t participate in any physical activity, even a light workout or short run, for a year.

“At first, I couldn’t do anything strenuous on the heart

usually trains once or twice every week and has a race somewhere every other weekend. The average training day consists of 100 to 200 laps around the track, with each averaging about 30 to 90 seconds. After four or five hours, the family heads home to Plant City.

Because his schedule doesn’t allow much room for any other sports, Aidan enjoys playing video games on his Xbox in his free time.

I want to (play other sports), but I’m really busy,” he says.

THE LAST LAP COUNTS

Racing on all levels, Aidan has won about 20 races. Recalling second-place finishes is a little trickier.

“I’m not doubting 100,” Aidan says. “And I’ve probably been in even more races than that.”

But the first-place finish that he’s quick to point to was last month’s race in New Orleans, where he pulled out a victory on the final lap. It was a thrilling finish that Keel happily opens up about.

“I was in second, and they have a really long back straightaway in New Orleans,” he says. “The boy blocked and tried to go to the inside, and I went to the outside. I had a better run and passed him going into the last chicane. He wasn’t able to pass me in the last turn.”

— anything that could give me a fast heart rate,” Hoyle says.

“I could have passed out. My whole junior year, I was limited to doing nothing.”

Although Hoyle speaks openly about it now, it’s obvious the year was tough for him.

Some people may relish the opportunity not to work for so long, but, for athletes such as Hoyle, this kind of treatment is like locking up their souls and hiding the key.

“The process was really tiring and frustrating,” he says.

“It’s really awful going through all that — not being able to do what you love with soccer and football.”

So, as soon as Hoyle could work out again, he wasted no time hitting the gym.

“I started slowly being able to work out a little bit, with

ABOUT THE RACE The Rotax Grand Finals are coming to America for the first time in 20 years of existence. The finals will take place over the course of four days: Nov. 13 to 16, in New Orleans, La. It’s considered an international invitational competition, and Aidan Keel will compete against 33 of the world’s best young mini-max karters.

The three mini-max races will be held on Nov. 15 and 16, in this order: qualifier, heat race and final race.

The lead the boy had on Aidan was about six-tenths of a second. His mistake was getting a little too defensive upon taking the inside track.

“It’s pretty cool knowing you just won the biggest race of your career so far,” he says.

Because he’s making a career change after the Grand Finals, moving up to the Juniors class, Aidan wants to come out of this last hurrah with even more bragging rights. It’s always that last lap that wins the race, and Aidan already has proven he can make it count.

light weight, and do five miles an hour on the treadmill,” he says. “Now, I can do about eight miles an hour on the treadmill.

I’m not supposed to go any faster than that.”

He’s not allowed to run long distances, for the time being, so he was limited even when he could come back to sports. Going back to being the football team’s placekicker wasn’t too bad, but it did change the way in which he could play soccer.

“I can only play goalie,” he says. “But, I’m at least able to do something. I love the sport, and I love being able to do it, so I’m happy with (playing) goalie.”

BACK IN ACTION

“He’s been a pleasant surprise for us,” head coach Wayne Ward says. “He had had some medical issues and kept saying, ‘Coach, I’m gonna get cleared, I’m gonna get cleared.’

And, finally, the doctors cleared him, and he’s been doing a really good job for us.”

Hoyle himself is quick to credit his parents for keeping him focused. Especially his mother, who drove him to every bimonthly doctor’s ap-

pointment in St. Petersburg.

“She was really on top of me,” he says. “My mom’s always been my rock of my life; she stays with me in everything I do. She feels everything that I go through, so she was really hard on it and made sure I stayed strong. She didn’t want to lose me.”

Hoyle wants to keep playing sports at a college level, too.

He wants to go to a university in Florida — not of Florida, he stresses — and continue being a placekicker in football or do anything with soccer.

“That would be the life for me,” he says.

But, for now, he’d like to focus on tomorrow’s matchup with Sickles. He’s just as excited to talk about some of the things that he and the Raiders have seen on film as he is to talk about his recovery.

“We have a chance to win,” he says. “We just need to put pressure on the quarterback.”

If there’s anything Hoyle taught his teammates that applies to this game, it’s that few obstacles are impossible to tackle.

an interception and also had two tackles for a loss.

• It’ll be interesting to see how the Raiders perform against Sickles, which just came out on top of a 34-30 thriller against the mediocre Alonso Ravens. Christian Hoyle thinks Plant City will come out on top, and I can’t blame him — whenever these guys don’t get slapped with penalties, they look like they can hang with some of the big dogs in the area.
