AROUND THE PARKS

By B.C. [email protected]

Katy Sartain, recently crowned MissFlorida Sunshine, is leading a food drive inDade City aimed at helping the FloridaBaptist Children’s Homes.

She’s seeking to collect single-servingmacaroni and cheese meals, and cans ofchicken and tuna, in a quest to help fill 500backpacks.

Anyone wishing to donate items shouldbring them on or before April 15 to TheGreater Dade City Chamber of Commerceoffice at 14112 Eighth St., in Dade City.

“One of the things that you do withinthe Miss America organization is volunteerfor a day of service, called Miss AmericaServes,” Sartain explained.

The Miss America organization is sup-porting The Florida Baptist Children’sHomes in Lakeland, she said.

“I work a lot with older youth in fostercare, so it’s amazing that my ownpersonal platform kind of corre-lates and is congruent with thisday of service.

“I’m very passionate aboutthis in my own personal life, andI love that other people are get-ting involved as well,” Sartain said.

The Dade City native, who at-tends Florida State University, willbe competing in June for the titleof Miss Florida. The winner ofthat contest will seek the title ofMiss America in September.

The Pasco High School gradu-ate said she was initially unsure ifshe wanted to get involved in the pageantworld.

“I was a little hesitant about getting in-volved because of the outward appearance of‘Toddlers and Tiaras’ and things like that, butthe amazing thing about the Miss America or-ganization is that it’s a scholarship pageant,and I have been able to pay for a large majori-ty of my tuition through the scholarshipmoney that I’ve earned,” said Sartain, who is acollege sophomore and is pursuing a degreein digital media production.

She said she decided to ask the GreaterDade City Chamber of Commerce to serveas a collection point for the food drive, be-cause she thought it would be a good wayfor the community to get involved.

“I thought more people would be apt tohelp out if we had a collection point, andkind of get the community involved in help-ing to feed our children,” Sartain said. “Iwanted to make it something that everyonecould help with, and get that sense of satisfac-tion.

“Everyone can do that — and be able tohelp a child who may be goinghome hungry. It doesn’t takethat much effort or funds tohelp,” she added.

She thinks the communitywill step forward to help.

“The great thing about livingin a small town is that you dohave all of this support aroundyou,” Sartain said. “The phrase, ‘Ittakes a village to raise a child,’ —I really have been raised byDade City.”

The food drive is helping anorganization established in 1904as an orphanage. Through a his-

tory stretching more than a century, it hasexpanded services to provide safe, stableChristian homes and services to childrenand families in need.

Last year, the organization served morethan 74,000 children through their campus-es, foster care services, adoption service,emergency care, compassion ministries andother services, according to the organiza-tion’s website.

Other women involved in the MissFlorida system also are conducting localfood drives to provide other items for thebackpacks, Sartain said.

She will be at the children’s home inLakeland on April 16 to help load the back-packs.

Gearing up for pancakes

By Helene RubensteinGrand Horizons

Many people were in our communitycenter on Easter Sunday for an egghunt. Brian Heidman hosted this activity, andI, for one, had a delightful time. It was funtrying to locate plastic eggs that contained aslip of paper, with a prize written on it,tucked inside each egg. The decorations thatwere in the center of each table added anice touch, with other color eggs in a basketand posters on the wall. There was also cakeand coffee served. The cake was deliciousand picked up by Chris Buckley. There wasquite a bit of conversation going on, and wecaught up with the most recent news. Itwas lots of fun, and I hope a tradition thatwill be carried out in the following years.

The following day, there was a streetparty in the cul-de-sac. This gathering of ap-proximately 70 people was held tocelebrate the March birthdays. Al Lindke andRae Rice’s birthday happened to be on theday of the party, which was hosted by SandyLindke and Ernie Rice. The cake was deli-cious, and they served ice cream, along withseveral pies. In addition to this, a tent wasset up, which was quite lovely when com-pleted and was good in case it rained.

On April 2, an egg n’ bag was held at thecommunity center and approximately 100

people were served a deliciousbreakfast. This was the last egg n’ bag of theseason, and a huge crowd attended. JimLeitzke said the blessing before themeal. There was one couple that just movedto Grand Horizons, and they were intro-duced. The couple was Monte and KarenFloyd, and they were shown how GrandHorizons’ residents have a good time. Thehelpers included Sue and GeorgeRichardson, Carol and Clayton George, Sueand Galen Parker, Jane and Mark Maurice,Vic and Lynne-Rae Dyson, and Judi and JimLeitzke.

On April 3, there was a farewell get-to-gether for Fred and Sam Sage. There was atremendous showing, as everyone gatheredto wish them well. Several people said a fewwords about an amusing anecdote from thepast. They served cake andcoffee. Everything was done in finetaste. Quite a few pictures were taken andmuch conversation went on. Rosie Semianput together this opportunity to wish theSages well with help from Joyce Billig, ChrisFulton and Chuck Carlson. The pastor fromFred’s church said a prayer for the couple’ssafe journey.

The Light AheadBy Trinity Memorial Gardens

It is not length of life, but depth of life. ~Emerson Ralph Waldo

Q. What is a second right (of interment)?

There are times when a cus-tomer owns burial rights to eithera ground plot or a mausoleumcrypt, and in addition to the fullbody interment, cremains aredesired to be placed with the fullbody. Depending on the size ofthe urn, and amount of availablespace in the ground or crypt, weallow for such a placement ofcremains, via what is termed asecond-right of interment.

In certain cases for example, acouple may decide to purchase afull body plot in one of our gar-dens, with the intent of havingboth individuals cremated andinterred in the single full bodyplot. In that case they would pur-chase a space, and incur twoopening and closing charges, and

need a second right of intermentfor the second person to beplaced in the single full-bodyspace.

Same goes for the mausoleumcrypts. However, it is importantto purchase an urn that will fit inthe limited space available afterthe full body entombment hasoccurred. In the case wheresomeone has been buried fullbody, and later the decision ismade to place cremains in thesame spot, we are careful tocheck to ensure there is enoughsoil above the vault for the urnvault placement. An urn vault isused to provide long-term stabili-ty in the soil, as many urns candeteriorate over time if exposedto open soil.

Coast to Coast Connector Trail skips PascoBy Kathy [email protected]

Pasco County won’t be part ofthe state’s Coast to CoastConnector Trail, but efforts areexpected to continue to includethe county in future projects.

The Florida Department ofTransportation is opting for anorthern trail route that windsthrough Hernando and Sumtercounties and the city of Websterfor the Coast to Coast ConnectorTrail, known as the C2C trail.

The department of transporta-tion rejected alternate southernroutes that would have passedthrough Pasco County, citing safe-ty and relocation issues, andenvironmental concerns.

State officials also said a south-ern route would add about nineadditional miles to the C2C trail,which would boost constructioncosts.

About 80 people attended thelast of three public meetings,hosted by the the state trans-portation department on April 7.Other meetings were in Sumterand Hernando counties.

Many came away from theApril 7 meeting disappointed that the trailwon’t pass through a single Pasco town orcity.

“It’s so important to us, not only as a des-tination, but for economic impact to thecommunity and tourism,” said Dade CityMayor Camille Hernandez.

Transportation officials and their consult-ant, Orlando-based VHB, conducted afeasibility study for what is known as theSouth Sumter Connector Trail, the largest re-maining segment of the C2C trail. The studylooked at three northern routes throughHernando and Sumter counties, and twosouthern routes through Pasco and Sumter.

The purpose of the project is to build atrail segment connecting the GoodNeighbor Trail to the South Lake and JamesA. Van Fleet trails.

It would fill the gap in the C2C trail link-

ing Pinellas County in the west withBrevard County in the east.

Pasco County Chairwoman KathrynStarkey also suggested another alternative,which would tie in the cities of Webster,Lacoochee, Trilby and Dade City. That pro-posal was not part of the study, which willconclude in June.

The transportation department’s pre-ferred route would cost about $21.4million. The southern routes would costabout $25 million to $27 million.

The next phase is an approximately two-year study of environmental andengineering issues that would begin in late2016 or early 2017. The trail then would bedesigned, right of way secured and, finally,construction would begin.

The entire process is likely to take multi-ple years.

Hernandez and others plan to keep lob-bying for the entire Pasco community inthis and future projects.

Constructions of several trails or linkswith existing trails are in the works inPasco, and also between Pasco and PinellasCounty. They eventually will link with theSuncoast Trail and Hernando. A multi-usetrail beside U.S. 301 is planned as a futurelink for the Hardy Trail, in Dade City.

Dade City council members were sched-uled, on April 12, to consider a lettersupporting Starkey’s proposed route, as wellas a connector loop suggested by PascoCounty Commissioner Ted Schrader. That ac-tion was slated for consideration after TheLaker/Lutz News’ press time.

The letter, which would be sent to statetransportation officials, also will request thatdirectional signage be installed at the Good

Neighbor Trail to let bicyclistsknow of trails available in Pasco.

Dade City resident MarkPinson is heading up a petitiondrive to gather signatures favor-ing a trail that would includeDade City and other Pasco desti-nations.

“Bikers want destinations,”Pinson said. “Dade City is a greatdestination. You want a place toeat and have a cup of coffee.”

Several trails come close toDade City, but they don’t con-nect, he said.

Hundreds of bicyclists flockto Dade City and San Antonio toenjoy scenic rides, he added.

Brooksville resident ArtFrassrand checked out proposedroutes on a display map prior tothe transportation department’sslide show, and listened to DavidWilliams, a planning manager forthe department, as he explainedthe agency’s decision process.

“This is easily the most feasi-ble route,” Williams said. “It’s alot easier right-of-way wise. Wewon’t take as much frontage.”

Frassrand wasn’t persuaded.“I think the southern route is

the best,” Frassrand said.It would trail through the Withlacoochee

State Forest, and offer “the prettiest views,”he said.

Williams said forestry officials weren’t infavor of the C2C going through the state for-est. He also noted hunters who said a bicycletrail would disrupt their hunting season.

However, Frassrand said bicyclists sharethe forest with hunters now for off-road ordirt bike riding.

Pinson said the northern route followedalong busy highways.

“It’s probably a more unsafe route forbikers,” he said.

The extra nine miles that bothered trans-portation officials wouldn’t be an issue forbike riders, especially those planning anacross-the-state jaunt, Pinson said.

“This is the prettiest nine miles of thewhole trip,” he said.

Organizers say thistour is first of its kindin Pasco CountyBy B.C. [email protected]

When the Spitlers moved into theirhome in Land O’ Lakes, its landscape wasdevoid of native plants and wildlife.

That was before Jonnie Spitler joined theNature Coast Chapter of the Florida NativePlant Society and began changing things up.

Now, her yard is among seven sites in-cluded in what she calls Pasco County’s firstNative Garden Tour.

The tour, organized by the Nature CoastChapter, gives visitors a chance to see nativeplants in a variety of landscapes and to seehow they support wildlife.

Spitler, president of the chapter, hopesthe tour will increase her organization’smembership and will result in more nativeplants being added to the local landscape.

That’s important, Spitler said, because asmore development occurs in Pasco County,steps must be taken to support bees, butter-flies, birds and other creatures that rely on

native plants.The Land O’ Lakes woman is wild about

her garden.“When you have a native plant garden —

and you walk through your garden — everysingle day is different. Something else isblooming. Something shows up in a placethat you didn’t expect it to show up.

“There are native bees, there are some

beautiful iridescent green bees that I’veseen that I never saw before, that haveshown up in the yard,” Spitler said.

A walk around her property offers gar-dening enthusiasts plenty of ideas.

Along the edge of her front yard, she’splanted flea bane, a plant some people viewas a weed, while others see as a wildflower.

There’s rosin weed, sporting a bright yel-low bloom.

She’s enthusiastic about rosin weed: “It’sa wonderful plant. It grows almost all yearlong, and it is native and it flowers almost allyear.”

Other plants around her front, side andback yards include coontie, coreopsis, fire-bush, coral honeysuckle and passion vine, toname just a few. There’s a winged elm treeand a fringe tree, too.

Her coral honeysuckle is her pride andjoy.

“It brings in the hummingbirds. It can begrown any way — on a pole, on a trellis, al-lowed to grow as ground cover.

“I think everyone should have a coralhoneysuckle somewhere in their yard, on alittle pole.”

She’s creative.Instead of using mulch at the base of a

tree, she’s planted wild petunia, a plant shedescribes as “a lovely, low-growing groundcover.”

Her Simpson’s Stopper, she said, pro-duces beautiful white, aromatic flowers.“As soon as the white flowers bloom, thebees will be all over it. Then, it has redberries, and birds will land and eat all of theberries,” she said.

She also has a wild lime — a host plantfor the giant swallowtail butterfly.

And, bees buzz happily around her sun-shine mimosa.

The tour stops offer gardening enthusi-

asts a chance to see native plants in a vari-ety of settings. One stop, in Odessa, featuresa wild habitat at a concrete company.

Another showcases a native plant gardenin a gated subdivision.

Another is a hideaway location, off thesouth branch of the Anclote River, which in-cludes a stand of cypress in a variety ofwoodsy landscapes.

A fourth site features a former orangegrove that’s been replaced by 200 nativetrees.

The fifth site features a wildlife corridor,created in the midst of a subdivision.

Spitler’s garden is the sixth site on thetour.

At the last one is a wildflower nursery,where people can purchase some of theplants they’ve seen during the tour.

should appoint the center’s leader, and howthe county and sheriff’s office will divide re-sponsibility for the center.

The county and the sheriff’s officebegan consolidating their emergency re-sponse operations into one center in 2013.

Nocco and Baker each fired off letters tothe Pasco County commissioners after asometimes heated discussion at the com-missioners’ March 29 meeting.

At that meeting, Moore invited Nocco topresent recommendations to be put to animmediate vote.

“We all want to find a solution,” Noccosaid.

He proposed promoting Lt. Dan Olds tothe position of director of the emergencycenter, and letting Pasco Fire & Rescuename one of its supervisors as assistant di-rector.

Olds currently serves as the center’s as-sistant director for public safetycommunications, which includes the con-solidated 911 center.

Jody Kenyon has served as acting direc-tor, pending the hiring of a permanentdirector. He began serving in October 2014,soon after Dona Fernandes resigned fromthe job.

Baker objected to Nocco’s proposal. Shesaid the matter “needs a more detailed con-versation.”

Pasco County Commissioner TedSchrader backed Baker.

“This is an important issue,” he said.“There’s a lot of us that haven’t had thebenefit of all the facts.”

Pasco County Commissioner KathrynStarkey agreed that a vote should not betaken on something commissioners havenot seen.

Schrader urged Nocco to meet withBaker to discuss the matter.

Nocco said his staff members wouldmeet with Baker, but he would not.

“When trust is an issue, that’s a prob-lem,” Nocco said.

Nocco sent a letter two days later toStarkey and the board, again laying out hissolution.

Nocco’s letter states that he has metwith Baker multiple times on the issue and“she has failed to provide any solutions for

the Center.”On March 31, Baker sent a lengthy letter

to the commissioners, responding to Noccoand outlining three options for hiring a di-rector for the emergency center.

In her letter, Baker objected to what shecharacterized as the sheriff’s “inaccuraciesand half-truths.”

Baker states there haven’t been multiplemeetings, and Nocco’s refusal to meet withher are what have prompted issues abouttrust.

“I am concerned that his delegates areeither misunderstanding or misrepresentingour conversations,” Baker wrote.

Baker contends that Olds doesn’t meetminimum requirements established by thecenter’s consolidation board.

Baker also notified commissioners thatshe was removing Kenyon as acting direc-tor. He remains as technical servicesmanager. She appointed newly-hiredEmergency Management Director KevinGuthrie to take on additional duties as act-ing public safety communications director.

In her letter, Baker noted that Guthriesupervised both emergency managementand emergency communications in FlaglerCounty before being hired by Pasco.

In a second letter to commissioners,dated April 1, Nocco gave “conditional ac-ceptance” to Guthrie, if he is appointedpermanently and serves solely as the cen-ter’s director.

Baker is expected to recommend threeoptions on April 12.

• The county has full responsibility forthe center, with the county administratorhiring the director, with commission ap-proval.

• The sheriff hires a director and takesresponsibility of the center. The countywould appoint the assistant director, and setup an enterprise budget to track expendi-tures.

• The center would be under control ofthe Consolidated Communications Board,which would select an executive directorand other management positions.Employees and support services would beunder contract with the county.

Baker also noted: “I remain willing totransfer responsibility and authority of theentire (Consolidated CommunicationsCenter) to the Sheriff, if that is the Board’sdesire.”

people interested in the second floor, andwe try and take those people to the (city)council with a recommendation for use ofthe second floor.”

The City of Zephyrhills purchased thehome — built in 1912 by Zephyrhillsfounder Capt. Harold B. Jeffries — for$111,000 in February 2014.

There was a possibility of adding $75,000for restoration, but Gov. Rick Scott vetoedthe appropriation which had been part ofthe budget adopted by the state legislature.

Preserving historic landmarks is impor-tant, Hamilton said.

“It is who we are and where we came

from. Future generations will look back at usand determine if we were good stewards ofour historical assets,” she explained. “It’swhat makes Zephyrhills unique and differ-ent. If we don’t preserve our history, thenwe are just a spot in the road.”

Hamilton also noted: “If you walk downthe street of any downtown, you should seethe timeline: the evolution of the city.

“There should be homes and businessesand buildings that represent the differentdecades of that city, and really create thatsense of history and place,” she explained.“You may not be crazy about mid-century ar-chitecture, but it shows a part of yourhistory,” she said.

“And, all of those buildings should be pre-served,” Hamilton said.

years ago to save money. Based on a prioragreement, the approximately 15-acre sitehad to be used as a park or be returned tothe school district, which owns the proper-ty.

The property went on the market in2015, but a $1.7 million bid by the city ofZephyrhills fell short of the initial $2.3 mil-lion offer from GH & G Florida. Thecompany pledged to donate 10 acres to 11acres to Zephyrhills for its park.

GH & G had six months to completethe deal, but later asked for an extension.That led to more negotiations and an agree-ment to sell less acreage.

The parkland is a historical site forZephyrhills, and part of about 80 acres orig-

inally owned by Hercules Powder Co. Thecompany, which converted pine stumpsinto resin and turpentine, once was thecity’s largest employer.

The property later became sites for thepark, Zephyrhills High School andWoodland Elementary School.

Hercules Park has a fitness trail, chil-dren’s playground and an aquatic center ina woodland setting.

School officials plan to pursue an agree-ment with the city.

The district has ball fields next to thepark, and there would be opportunities toshare parking space and other amenities.

“It would be a matter of us and the citysitting down to talk through those details,”said Chris Williams, the school district’splanning director. “I think it would be bene-ficial for both of us.”

Freedom High names new football coachBy Kevin [email protected]

A former longtime Tampa Bay area foot-ball coach has been hired to lead theFreedom High Patriots program in 2016.

Floyd Graham, a former head coach atboth Steinbrenner High (2009-2011) andNewsome High (2004-2005), was named asthe Patriots’ new head football coach onApril 1.

He replaces Todd Donohoe, who wasfired after compiling a 15-25 combinedrecord in four seasons. The team finishedthe 2015 season with a 3-7 record.

Graham most recently was a defensiveline coach at Carroll High School in Ozark,Alabama. He stepped down at Steinbrennerin 2012 to help take care of his cancer-stricken mother in Alabama, who passedaway in January.

“Tampa’s basically my second home, be-cause I was there for so many years. My wifeand I were real happy when we were atSteinbrenner,” Graham said.

“It was always in our mind to comeback.”

With many new head coaching hiresmade in January or February, Graham willhave to make a quick turnaround to imple-ment his program and coaching philosophy.

While it may be a disadvantage to start thejob in the spring, it doesn’t compare to whatGraham was forced to do at both Newsomeand Steinbrenner high schools, where hebuilt the football teams from scratch.

“To me, it’s already a luxury that we’ve al-ready got all of our helmets, we’ve alreadygot all of our equipment, we’ve already gotcoaches on staff and the kids have alreadybeen lifting,” Graham said. “I’ve been in situa-tions where we’ve been so disadvantaged orwere already fighting uphill that right now,this is something that’s going to be differentand less challenging.

“It’s going to be exciting to go into an al-ready established program with athletes that

have been doing something for awhile andhave been together for awhile,” he added.“It’s not one of these things where we’retrying to build an identity, so I’m real excit-ed about that.”

Graham’s first day on the job will beApril 18, where his first duties will includekeeping the current assistant coaching stafftogether and overseeing offseason workoutsfor Patriots players. He also plans to bringone of his former assistants at Steinbrenner,

Cedric Roberts, in to coach defensive backs.Graham has leafed through the roster

and watched some game film on last year’ssquad. He’s already noticed one team qualitythat gives him confidence in the team’s out-look for success.

That quality is speed, Graham said, with atinge of glee in his voice. “They have atremendous amount of potential. The ath-letes are there. The kids are there. It’s justthat we have to start them at a young ageand keep them on the right track. As long asthey buy in and believe in us in what we’retrying to do, it will happen.”

As Graham tries to boost Freedom’srecord in the win-loss column, he will haveto make sure he can keep his player’s aca-demically eligible.

“We’re going to put academics first, be-cause the bottom line is my job is to try tocreate better men, which will create betterfathers and husbands,” he said.

“That’s what I try to do, and we’re goingto take every step that we can to make ithappen.”

Perhaps what excites Graham the mostis the opportunity to transition a downtrod-den team into a superior one.

“The process is fun,” he said. “You canwin all kinds of games, and you can lose allkinds of games. But, the process of makingsomething from nothing and making thosekids — that come in as ninth-graders —where they leave playing and understandingthe game and being a better man, that’swhat’s fun.”

After five seasons at the helm, Sunlakesoftball coach Nelson Garcia finally has “thesystem” in place.

That system has helped guide theSeahawks to their best record (16-8) since2012 (17-6), Garcia’s first season as coach.That year, he had the fortune of leading ateam that featured several standouts withpost-secondary softball talent — StephanieFrancis (Jacksonville University), CourtneyDurbin (Rollins College) and AmySzymanowski (Florida State University).

Rebuilding years in 2013 (9-11) and2014 (9-16) have paved the way for a teamthat currently stands at 15-8 and recentlyclinched the No. 2 seed for the Class 7A,District 10 tournament.

Despite a key injury to an already youth-ful pitching staff, the Seahawks have stayedafloat with a potent lineup that has a com-bined .393 batting average and .479 on-basepercentage.

With a bevy of .400 hitters, includingone of the area’s top power threats in seniorGianna Basilone, Garcia likens the stackedorder to those of the old New York Yankeeteams, where opposing pitchers are worndown by the time they’ve gotten throughthe lineup.

“I like to try to do to people what theYankees used to do from a few years ago,”he said. “I want them to be tired by the timethey get through our order. Then we can gosmall ball.”

A combination of an offseason weighttraining program and “a lot of detail work”including station-to-station hitting drills hasfacilitated an increase in the team’s offen-sive output.

“The biggest thing is the team has got tobuy into the program, and they’ve got to re-ally want to be there,” Garcia said. “And thisgroup, this is probably the best. They’ve real-ly all gelled together.”

Facing some of the top teams within thedistrict — Mitchell and Osceola — and out-side the district — Land O’ Lakes andGulf— has battle-tested Garcia’s group for adeep playoff run.

“We try to keep the attitude of: ‘Whoevershows up on the other side of the dugout,that’s the one we want to beat,’” he said.

“I think we can compete against anyone,especially if we’re playing our game.”

For Garcia, “playing our game” meanseveryone on the roster handles the job theyare assigned, whether that’s making plays inthe field, laying down a bunt to move a run-ner over or driving in runs.

The Seahawks are getting hot at the righttime, and could be poised to be a bigger

threat than just a few weeks ago as a previ-ously injured pitcher returns to the startingrotation.

Freshman pitcher Morgan Boudreau wasslated to be the team’s second arm in the ro-tation alongside sophomore workhorseMariah Melendez (2.94 ERA in 21 starts),until she broke her ankle during a presea-son game.

“That changed a lot of things,” Garcia saidabout Boudreau’s absence. “The pitchingstaff was supposed to be a little different.We had two very good pitchers coming in,

...and she was also supposed to be our start-ing first baseman.”

“We’ve taken adversity and have donewell with it,” he added.

Boudreau appears to be working herway back to the lofty expectations thecoaching staff set upon her before the sea-son, striking out three in two shutoutinnings in a 15-0 win over Fivay on April 1.

Now armed with a fully stocked pitchingstaff to complement a deep lineup, theSeahawks ought to be able to “competeagainst anyone.”
