Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco sayshe needs a $5.4 million increase in his annu-al budget to provide better pay and benefits— both to recruit new employees and tokeep veterans from leaving for higher pay-ing jobs.
“It’s a morale issue,” Nocco told PascoCounty commissioners at a June 2 work-shop in New Port Richey.
The sheriff’s office is on pace to set arecord for 50 resignations this year, largelydue to low compensation, Nocco said.
His 2016 budget request is about $104million in total, about 6.7 percent higher than
the budget approvedby commissioners lastyear.
Other increases inNocco’s budget in-clude $475,000 forbody cameras and$254,000 for aircraftmaintenance.
The argument thatPasco is losing officers tired of low pay isn’tnew. Nocco has issued the warning in pastyears.
He came to this year’s budget workshoparmed with fresh data and a salary survey toback up his claims.
“We didn’t just cry wolf,” said Nocco.
“The problem is growing.”The salary of a Tampa police officer is
more than $48,000 a year, and in Pinellas itis more than $45,000, based on informationgleaned from agency websites as part of asalary survey done by Tallahassee-basedEvergreen Solutions. Pasco deputies makejust under $40,000 a year.
Some counties, including Pinellas, alsouse the incentive of a signing bonus to at-tract staff.
Evergreen Solutions reviewed salariespaid by 13 of 16 peer law enforcementagencies in the state. Pasco was at the bot-tom in salary compensation, and gives no
Laura Hauserinspired othersduring hercancer battleBy B.C. [email protected]
Laura Hauser waged a valiant war againstcancer for six years, but lost the battle in theearly morning hours of June 8.
The disease started in her colon but hadspread all over her body, including her liver,lungs, spine and brain, said Stephanie Hardy,a family friend for the past four years.
Laura had undergone more than 70rounds of chemotherapy and multiple sur-geries, Hardy said.
Laura is survived by her husband,Richard; her son, Noah, 14; and her daughter,Tatum, 12.
Laura had been to Seattle for treatmentbut had returned to Wesley Chapel to attendNoah’s eighth-grade graduation and Tatum’sdance recitals.
She made it to the graduation, but wasn’table to go to the recitals. She was able towatch one — that was livestreamed — fromher bed.
The family had thought that potential treat-ment in Seattle offered Laura her best hopeand she had planned to return there, but shedied at home, under the care of hospice.
Laura’s battle was personal, but she was-n’t alone.
Her fight inspired family, friends, col-
leagues and strangers to step forward toshow their support.
This coming weekend, an event is takingplace at Harvester United Methodist Churchin Land O’ Lakes to help the Hauser familywith expenses.
That fundraiser will go on as planned,Hardy said.
The family also will be helped by aGoFundMe account, established by PamelaMaurer Fay on May 23, which attracted hun-dreds of donations and sentiments of support.
“You are strong and you are loved. Findstrength in the amount of people who wishto help your beautiful family. You are in ourprayers,” Rick and Susan Coder wrote, whenmaking their donation.
After learning of Laura’s death, PascoCounty Schools tweeted out a message:“Rest in peace, Laura Hauser. A great educa-tor, mom, wife and friend to many. You willbe missed.”
Laura worked at Wesley Chapel
Elementary School before her illness causedher to leave the job.
While she was working there in 2012,she received the award for School-RelatedPersonnel of the Year for Pasco CountySchools. The distinction goes to a nonin-structional employee who makesoutstanding contributions.
At the time of the award, Laura’s title wasmedia and technology assistant, but bothher colleagues and her boss said her influ-ence was far broader.
She was the campus photographer. She han-dled lunch duty. She shelved books andchecked them out. She had a photography clubfor kids, put together the school’s yearbook andhelped teachers with technical issues.
Principal John Abernathy, described herthis way: “Laura is hands-down the most reli-able, the most efficient, the most dependable,the most sincere person that I can say thatI’ve run across in a really long time.
“In terms of the lives that I would say thatLaura has touched – I couldn’t even put anumber to it. She’s a very passionate personherself, and I think she brings that passion toeverything she does. It’s who she is.”
Even more impressive was Laura’s unbri-dled enthusiasm, despite chemotherapytreatments for her cancer, colleagues said.
Laura has been unable to work for sometime, but Richard works three part-time jobs,in addition to being a firefighter and para-medic for Hillsborough County Fire Rescue.
Colleagues and friends from the elemen-tary school have continued to show theirsupport for the family. Recently, IrisBarcelona and Christopher Gorman coordi-nated WCES Makes a Splash Water Day forMrs. Hauser.

Sally Blackwood was just meant todance.
And at age 79, she is celebrating the50th anniversary of the Blackwood Studiosin Dade City with a recital of “The Wizard ofOz”.
The journey down the yellow brick roadis a tradition begun in 1965 and has beenrepeated every decade since.
“It is our signature piece,” said Blackwoodwho teaches up to five hours a day.
The faces of many of her students have a
familiar look, because often they are thechildren or grandchildren of students shetaught in the past.
“We really are a studio family,” Blackwoodsaid.
Her own family is where her passion fordance began.
Her father’s orchestra traveled throughFlorida at the height of the swing bandcraze in the 1940s. Ben Atwood and his mu-sical troupe played the swanky Vinoy Hotelin St. Petersburg. Her mother, GenevieveAtwood, played violin in the orchestra. Itwas a love match.
Blackwood would find her own love
match, too. But first there would be a child-hood of uninhibited movement.
She traveled with her parents to militarybases as they entertained troops duringWorld War II. She was 5 years old when theJapanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
They were part of the vaudeville circuit,playing one night in Jacksonville and anoth-er in Avon Park. Her hometown wasLakeland, Florida.
“They did everything they could to helpthe war effort. I was like their mascot,”Blackwood said. “I made up dances.”

Rick Moody’s career revolves arounddodgeball.
But it was a game he didn’t like as achild.
“I know when I was a kid, dodgeball wasscary,” the Lutz resident said. “You’d line upat the back of the wall and hope you don’tget hit, because it would knock your teethout or break your nose.”
Moody’s bad memories were shared byother teachers when he taught physical ed-ucation. They didn’t like the idea of childrenrisking injury and bullying. And, if the gym-nasium wasn’t available, there was no wayto play it outside without chasing the ballmost of the time.
So Moody came up with some solutions.First, he focused on the ball.Gone are the days of hard rubber speed-
ing toward a player’s head.In Moody’s system, the ball is foam, in-
cluding a foam core, with a cloth-likecovering on the exterior.
When this ball hits, it doesn’t hurt. And, itcan’t be used as a weapon in the hands ofan aggressive person.
Next, there’s the arena where childrenand adults can play the game.
Moody designed and built a structurewith plastic walls that exceed 8 feet and in-cludes netting.
The structure can be set up indoors oroutdoors, takes around 15 minutes to put to-gether and creates a fun atmosphere to playa popular game without the danger and risksthat are normally associated with it.
Eventually, Moody realized he didn’t just
have an idea. He had a business.Since Dodgeball2You really got going last
year, the company has done more than 200events, with around 50,000 participants en-joying the new brand of dodgeball.
That includes a lot of repeat business,and it includes parties, gatherings at collegesand churches, and other special events.
For $200 to $300, depending on the sea-son, an event or party can have a completedodgeball setup, including equipment and agame manager who keeps things moving.Moody’s system features continuous play, sopeople can drop out and jump in as theylike. At pay-for-play events, individuals canplay as much as they want, with prices rang-
ing from $10 to $50.Aside from being fun, Moody sees other
benefits in playing dodgeball.As a former physical education teacher
who ran his own running camps,and coached cross country and track andfield at the college level, he knows the im-portance of physical fitness and the dangersof childhood obesity.
Some children spend their free time play-ing video games but can’t do a sit-up orpush-up, Moody said. Getting in some exer-cise — hours of it at some events — is goodfor children.
“If we can get them out there exercisingsecretly, without them really knowing it, Ithink that’s going to be a huge thing,” he said.
Moody also uses his dodgeball system totackle the problem of bullying.Dodgeball2You hosts a program called“Dodge Bullying” in schools, where theyteach an anti-bullying lesson, discuss sports-manship and invite the children to playdodgeball in a new, fun way.
“We’re able to get a message acrossabout anti-bullying with a game that wassynonymous with bullying back in the day,”Moody said.
While dodgeball can be a challenginggame, the real challenge Moody faced wassecuring a patent for the arena.
Obtaining a patent can be a long, expen-sive process, and it’s one that Moody hadgone through before.
“It was very painful, especially the firsttime around,” he said.
The first time he sought a patent wasabout five years ago for a different idea. Hespent about $15,000, felt frustrated and didnot succeed in that effort.
For his dodgeball arena, it took around18 months and more than $10,000. But withthe help of a patent attorney, it ended on amuch happier note. His patent was ap-proved just a few weeks ago.
That means Dodgeball2You doesn’t haveto rely on a “patent pending” designation, andworry that someone will steal the concept.
“You’re kind of on pins and needles be-cause people see your idea,” Moody saidabout the long wait to get approved.
Now that the patent is in place, Moodywants everyone to see it. Very few patentsare issued to individuals, and just a smallpercentage of those go on to make money,he explained.
But his business is going strong —they’ve done as many as a dozen events inone weekend — and Moody is already look-ing to expand.
With 10 arenas and three trailers al-ready in place, the next step will befranchising.
He’s also pursuing another patent to ex-pand the arena’s concept into amultifunctional structure than can host sev-eral different types of games. Add in leagueplay, and Moody’s company has dodgeballcovered from all angles, like the arena hebuilt to house the games.
Having a patented, popular conceptmakes the time and expense he investedworth it, he said.
“It’s a good feeling to have this accom-plishment,” Moody said. “I tell everybody ifyou give up, you’re not going to make it. Youhave to keep trying. You have to keep push-ing forward.”
For more information, call (844) 322-5528 or visit Dodgeball2You.com.
Children and adults can play anywhere there’s room to set up the arena. Dodgeball2You has participated in more than 200 events so far.

It may not be a royal, but the newestbaby at Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo is beingtreated like a princess.
A southern white rhinoceros was bornon May 21 to “Alake,” an animal that original-ly lived in the Phinda Reserve in Africa,according to a news release from LowryPark Zoo officials.
The newborn marks the fourth success-ful southern white rhino birth and theseventh rhino born in the Zoo’s history, offi-cials say.
Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo is part of theAssociation of Zoos and Aquariums RhinoTaxon Advisory Group, which includes thesouthern white rhino Species Survival Plan.
The plan is designed to support conser-vation of select wildlife species at risk ofextinction. The newborn introduces newDNA into the genetics of the managed pop-ulation in North America.
The zoo is currently home to a herd offive southern white rhinos: three adult fe-males from the Phinda Reserve in Africa,one adult male, and the newborn.
In keeping with a natural herd struc-ture, Alake and calf have begunintroductions to the other rhinos andGrevy’s zebras that share their habitat, zooofficials say.
While the birth is welcome news forthe managed population, record numbersof rhinos were killed by poachers in SouthAfrica last year. Despite increased protec-tion efforts, the number of rhinos killed bypoachers jumped 21 percent to 1,215. Thecurrent poaching crisis is driven by thegrowing demand for rhino horn inSoutheast Asia where horn, made out ofkeratin -- the same material found inhuman hair and nails -- is wrongly believedto have medicinal properties.
The white rhinoceros has two horns atthe end of its muzzle, the most prominentin the front. Unlike Indian rhinos, white rhi-nos use their horns for defense. Femalesuse their horns to protect their young,while males use them to battle each other.Adult white rhinos can reach weights ofabout 5,000 pounds, with most calves esti-mated to weigh between 80 to 140pounds, according to the news release.

In addition to all the activities that still goon at Grand Horizons like dominoes, shuf-fleboard and others, they also haveget-togethers such as a potluck for specialoccasions like Memorial Day. On this partic-ular day, they did join together as a group torecognize this day.
I spoke to Sandy and Al Lindke and theysaid this memorable day was celebratedwith a potluck at the community center. Thehosts were Albert and Sandy Lindke, and thegrill masters were Jim and Judy Fischer as-sisted by Ken and Barb Holzapfel. Therewere 96 residents and guests who attendedand honored this day.
The evening started with the Pledge ofAllegiance to honor our current, former anddeceased military members. There was aP.O.W. table set on the stage to recognizeand honor our prisoners of war.
Sandy said the blessing, thanked every-one for attending, and also thanked thedecorating committee and especially themany helpers.
She continued with the fact thatAdrianne Ayres took photos, and she endedwith the fact that all had a very enjoyableevening.
I have since talked to others and theymentioned that each person brought alonga dish to serve several people. Since themeats were contributed by the social club,mainly side dishes were brought in. Fromwhat was told to me, there was plenty offood to be enjoyed and several salads suchas coleslaw, potato salad, macaroni dishesand several Jello dishes, in addition to tossedsalads. There also were many desserts.
Sandy said it was a very good turnout,considering the number of residents whoare away at their summer homes in anotherstate.

The $2.4 million renovation project atLand O’ Lakes Community Park, 5401 LandO’ Lakes Blvd., is just about completed. Itfeatures new fields, a playground, a conces-sion stand and restrooms. There’s even awalking trail for walkers and joggers thatgoes around the park.
But there’s another improvement thatgets Mike Walcott, a recreation supervisorfor Pasco County Parks, Recreation andNatural Resources, really excited.
The parking.“I think the thing a lot of people are
going to like is the paved parking,” Walcottsaid. “Because when you park in a dirt lot inthe middle of July and you have those stormscome rolling though, it creates a mess.”
Walcott has endured the mess associatedwith dirt lots long enough to know howbad it can be. He’s been with the countyparks department for 15 years, with abouteight of them at Land O’ Lakes CommunityPark.
Small improvements can make a big dif-ference, and they can enhance theexperience of visiting the park.
And, with all the bigger improvementsready to be unveiled to the public, he ex-pects a lot more visitors in the future.
The improved fields are good for thepark’s existing users like their adult softballleague and Police Athletic League youthfootball. The latter will now have their homegames at the park, instead of just using it asa practice facility.
In addition, the park now has a specialevent area that will be a gathering place fora variety of community events. Walcott seesmovies in the park, a farmer’s market
and company picnics as just some of thepossible uses.
The annual Swampfest event, which wascanceled last year due to a conflict with thepark’s renovation schedule, is also back onfor this November.
And with a potential addition in the fu-ture, the possibilities are even greater.
“We’re looking forward to possibly astage being put out into the park, so we’llbe able to do concerts,” Walcott said.
That project is being spearheaded by theHeritage Park Foundation. And the group’spresident, Sandy Graves, believes it wouldbe an artistic feather in the park’s cap.
“I think it will complete that park,”Graves said.
The plan includes a structure that takesup around 2,000 square feet with a backroom, electrical hookup and wide steps forpeople to bring up instruments or otherbulky equipment.
The foundation would like to collaboratewith local government to help raise fundsfor the project, which could exceed$150,000. For now, foundation members areraising money on their own, as they try tofind a government partnership that worksfor everybody.
While the park will continue to thrive asa destination for local teams, Graves seesmore opportunities for the park as a localhub of community activity.
“Sports is just one facet,” she said. “I thinkit’s good for the community to have a cen-tral gathering space where it can have thefestivals that bring a community together.”
Meanwhile, the Land O’ LakesCommunity Park is taking advantage of an-other construction project to enhanceusers’ experience. When Sanders MemorialElementary School reopens later this year as
the county’s first STEAM magnet school, itsproximity to the park invites a natural shar-ing of facilities. STEAM stands for science,technology, engineering, arts and mathemat-ics.
They’ll be able to share event space,parking, basketball courts and other facili-ties.
That collaboration, as well as the existingrenovations and potential future improve-ments, means the park will continue tomaximize its resources. At just 16 acres, it’snot a large park, but the new layout will usethe area efficiently.
“I think they came up with a great multi-use community park,” Walcott said. “As far asthe size that we have here, I think every-one’s going to get something out of it.”
For now, it seems like everyone wants to
hear about its progress. Walcott gets resi-dents coming by every day asking aboutproject updates and wanting to see howthings are going. And he’s pleased to reportthat some facets of the park will be availablewithin the next couple of weeks, and thefields are being prepared for use in the com-ing months. Soon residents will be able toenjoy the new amenities, like the walkingtrail, concession stand and event area.
And the parking, of course.“It sounds ridiculous that I keep going
back to the paved parking. But oh my good-ness, that was the biggest thing. Just gettingstuck in the mud,” Walcott said. “I knowwhen people come out here and get a goodlook at the place, they’re really going to likeit. They’re really going to enjoy being outhere.”
IMAGE COURTESY OF THE HERITAGE PARK FOUNDATIONA proposed stage where special events can be held would cost $150,000 or more, but wouldcreate a permanent platform for community productions and performances.
MICHAEL MURILLO/STAFF PHOTOSMike Walcott reviews plans for the improvements at Land O’ Lakes Community Park. Itincludes new fields, an event staging area, a new concession structure and bathrooms.
Work is wrapping up on the $2.4 million project to improve Land O’ Lakes Community Park.

Renovations wrappingup at Land O’ Lakes park
By Mike MatthewSpecial to The Laker / Lutz News
Debi Bolusi and Ernest Van Glahn are twoaward-winning realtors in the Exit Prime Realtyfamily serving Land O’ Lakes and neighboringcommunities. Debi received her first Exit Awardfor Excellence in Customer Service in 2014.Ernie won the 2014 SalesPerson of the year award andwas voted the Most ValuablePlayer for the brokerage. BothErnest and Debi have beenawarded Agent of the Monthmultiple times in 2014.
Debi moved to Odessathree years ago from NewYork. She started out withReMax, but left when ExitPrime Realty contacted her.“We have a great family of realtors here,” saysDebi. “I’m glad I made the switch.”
Ernie is a retired New York City Officer fromthe New York City Police Department. He rosethrough the ranks quickly to the rank ofCaptain. He retired after 20 years. He served as aCommanding Officer when he retired. Hemoved to Florida and has lived in Land O’ Lakesfor the last eleven years.
“My niche is working with our nation’sheros,” says Van Glahn. He is a MilitaryRelocation Professional. He works with membersof the military, law enforcement, fire fighters,EMT’s, and school employees. He is also anEmployee Benefits Director for a non-profitorganization, “Hero Home Source.” Ernie givesback part of his commission to these heroes atclosing for their service to our nation and com-munity.
“Prospective clients should ask about our 59-Day Guarantee,” says Ernie. “If we don’t sellyour home in 59 days, we’ll pay you $1,000 atclosing. Give us a call to find out the details.There are some conditions that must be met, ofcourse.”
“This is a great time to sell your home,” saysDebi. “It’s a seller’s market. The existing homeinventory is low. Many sellers are receiving theirasking price or more.”
There is also a great deal of new home con-struction going on in the Land O’ Lakes andWesley Chapel area. State Road 54 is beingwidened to accommodate the growth. There are
also a number of new shopping centers on thebooks. More schools will need to be built toaccommodate the growth.
Ask about their guaranteed sales program fornew construction. Qualified buyers may havetheir existing rental lease bought out as part ofthe settlement on a new home.
Debi and Ernie have solid relationships witharea lenders. They work hardto get you the very bestfinancing. They also workwith people who’ve had cred-it problems in the past, help-ing to get their creditrepaired, so they’ll be able toobtain financing.
“A number of zero-downfinancing programs are avail-able,” says Debi. “Right nowthe USDA is offering 100
percent financing for many areas in PascoCounty. Interest rates are still low. We’re alsonot seeing as many foreclosures as there were twoyears ago. The market is good.”
Debi and Ernie want to make the sale andpurchase process as stress-free as possible. “Wedeal with all the stress, so our clients don’t haveto,” says Debi.
“One thing we always recommend is a homeinspection,” says Ernest. “It’s the best two tothree hundred dollars you can spend on a homepurchase. You don’t want any surprises afterclosing that could have easily been resolved oravoided prior to the sale.”
“There are numerous types of technologies weuse to get your home sold,” says Debi. “ExitRealty is the technology leader. Other broker-ages simply do not have these technologies.”
Ernie and Debi works closely with relocationbuyers from locations all over the country. Theyare able to assist these buyers with the sale oftheir existing homes, even those that are locatedin other states. Debi is Short Sale Certified.
Ernie was the first employee in the Land O’Lakes office when it opened in August two yearsago. Now they have fifty agents. The real estatemarket is booming. Anyone considering a careerin real estate should give Debi or Ernie a call.The company provides a great deal of trainingand support to their agents.
“We also do a lot of local charity works suchas the Jason Ackerman Foundation, which helpschildren who’ve lost a parent,” says Debi.

signing bonuses.At Nocco’s request, the survey focused
on the local market area of Pinellas andHillsborough counties, and the cities of St.Petersburg and Tampa.
Evergreen Solutions is recommending athree-year phased-in step pay plan to pro-vide incremental increases linked to anemployee’s job description. The requested$5.4 million would cover the first year’s costof salaries and benefits.
Commissioners are in the midst of re-viewing budget proposals from all countydepartments.
Data on revenues will be provided bythe tax collector’s office on July 1. A finalbudget won’t be approved until September,with two budget hearings in the interim.
“We know we have challenges ahead ofus,” said Chairman Ted Schrader.
Pasco doesn’t have the tax base to payfor everything it needs, he said.
While everyone supports public safety,Schrader was skeptical of the proposed payplan and its impact on future budget re-quests. “Where does it stop?” he said.
The economic downturn in the econo-my that began in 2008 has strained Pasco’scoffers. Many departments, including li-braries and parks, took hits in recentyears.
Since 2013, the county has boosted the
budget for the sheriff’s office by 12 percent,including an additional $7.2 million for fiscal2015, according to county budget records.Those records also reveal that the sheriff’soffice’s budget represents more than 40 per-cent of total ad valorem expenditures fromthe county’s general fund.
Nocco acknowledged the commission’ssupport for past requests. “We know if therewas more money in the pot, our numberswould go up,” he said. “ I think a lot of peo-ple are seeing the need. The Tampa Baymarket in law enforcement is very competi-tive. But, you have been supportive. There isno doubt about it.”
Commissioner Mike Moore appearedgenerally favorable toward Nocco’s request.Based on the sheriff’s data, he calculatedthat the county has spent close to $5 mil-lion in training costs for officers who laterleft for better paying jobs.
Better retention of employees would becost efficient, he added.
“We’re growing by leaps and bounds,”Moore said. “It’s not just about big versussmall (counties) anymore. It’s who’s grow-ing the fastest.”
Preliminary numbers from the tax collec-tor are looking good, said CommissionerKathryn Starkey. “We’ll have an even betternext year.”
But she said challenges remain.“We are filling up with people who don’t
have a lot of money to pay for everythingwe want to do,” Starkey said.
Dance in Lutz also have been in the family’scorner.
They raised money by selling refreshmentsand T-shirts, said Hardy, whose daughter hasdanced with Tatum Hauser at the studio.
The dance moms made the family dinnerfor three months.
“Strangers would come up and say, ‘Oh,here’s a lasagna.’ I heard about your wife.”
The support has been both tangible andintangible.
“One day, everybody she knew woreblue. Hundreds of people,” Richard said.
The cancer has caused enormous painand sorrow for Laura and her family, butthey also have experienced the incrediblekindness of others, Richard said.
Laura’s cancer did not define her, herhusband said. It galvanized her determina-tion and demonstrated her strength.
“You don’t really appreciate life, until youface down the barrel of death,” he said.
Services for Hauser, who was 40 whenshe died, are pending.
She did a “little samba” to the song“Down South American Way.” Or whatevershe’d seen in the movies.
A Lakeland teacher spotted her and toldher parents their young daughter had totake lessons, and join her dance troupe.Another teacher, Mary Fariday, told ateenage Blackwood to go to New York.
“Ballet was my big love,” she said.“(Fariday) took me under her wings andtaught me everything.”
At age 20, she auditioned for the leg-endary Robert Joffrey, founder of the JoffreyBallet School, then based in New York. Heselected her to tour with a troupe thatwould perform at colleges and universities.
Blackwood is modest about the accom-plishment, pointing out she is barely 5 feet.“He was a short man,” she said. “He likedshort dancers.”
But fate and love intervened.Her high school sweetheart, James
“Woody” Blackwood, had returned toLakeland from Germany after three years ofmilitary service. He wanted to see her onemore time.
“I was going to go home for a week,” shesaid. “I never went back. I’ve never regretted it.”
Ballet with a professional company takesdrive and ambition.
Besides, she said, “I’m not a competitiveperson for myself.”
Though the couple was living in Lakeland,Blackwood began driving to Dade City once aweek to teach 19 dance students.
Enrollment grew and it made sense in1966 to relocate the family.
“We had so many coming back,” she said.“I’d have to come back four times a week.”
They bought a house on Meridian Avenuein downtown Dade City where they raisedtheir daughters, Mary Ann and Glenda. Akindergarten teacher whose daughter was inBlackwood’s dance class offered to build afacility next to the house which she woulduse during the day. It was Blackwood’sdance studio in the afternoon and evening.
Woody Blackwood, who died in 2001,operated an antiques shop in anotherhouse, adjacent to the studio.
“He did everything for us,” said his wife.“He’d make dinner for me. He built scenery.He was good with the kids.”
The antique shop is now a two-storymaze of costumes collected through theyears. Square-dancer skirts in a rainbow ofcolors hang along the walls. Racks andracks of gowns, tutus, leotards, fancy dressshirts, vests, bangles and beads, laces, a boxof yellow polka dot bikinis, and the oddpiece of stage scenery are showbiz cornu-copia.
Cheryl Hauff is part of the studio familyand in charge of making costumes for morethan a decade. Her daughter is a former stu-dent.
“Everyone just becomes family,” she said.“It gives girls (and boys) something to do.They advance and progress.”
Ballet is the foundation.“Nobody has ever gotten a system better
to train bodies,” Blackwood said. “That’swhy we really stress ballet.”
It teaches control, stamina, body place-ment, and how to move smoothly andgracefully.
“If they never dance (again), the posturethey get from ballet is so healthy and beau-tiful,” she said. “It also teaches them respectfor music and for themselves.”
Her studio offers 66 classes a week inballet, tap, jazz, modern dance and acrobat-ics. Blackwood has seven teachersincluding her daughter, Mary AnnBlackwood, who also is the studio’s chore-ographer.
She seems somehow to know instinc-tively how to orchestrate the movements ofdozens of children, Haupff said. “She isamazing,” she added.
“The Wizard of Oz” will have two per-formances on June 12 and 13. An old“reel-to-reel” tape recording of the narrativeand music from 1975 will be used.
The play isn’t a re-creation of the familiarmovie with Judy Garland, though bits of fa-miliar songs are used as performers movescenery around between scenes.
L. Frank Baum wrote more than a dozenOz books and Blackwood dips into many ofthem for the story line.
There are no flying monkeys. Thatwould be too scary, she said.
Instead the witches have crows.“We chose music to fit the characters,”
Blackwood said. “So, it can be classical.”On June 14, there will be a reunion of
Blackwood and her extended dance familythrough the years. At least one former stu-dent is coming from California.
But a 50-year reunion doesn’t meanBlackwood is planning to retire any timesoon.
“I hope I’ll have enough sense to knowwhen I’m not doing a good job,” she said. “Istill have patience.”
Plans are under way for a trip to Europewhere some of her students will perform inGermany and Austria. And she has threegirls who are going to a Joffrey-sponsoredsummer camp in Miami.
Teaching is where her heart is.“This way you’re sharing everything.
That’s the way I like it,” Blackwood said.

When transitioning to an assisted livingand memory care community, TheCommons on Pretty Pond in Zephyrhills isthe perfect community. “It is our goal tomake the transition from home to our com-munity meaningful and worry free.” KeatonHobbs, CommunityOutreach Director at TheCommons explains.
“The quality of life ourresidents enjoy is at the coreof our mission. Researchshows that activity, bothphysical and mental canimprove the overall qualityof life. Our goal is to create awhole person wellness atti-tude and change how wethink and act in relation toour residents. “AgingGracefully” is not a program but rather theembodiment of an attitude about the qualityof life we provide our residents. It is the plat-form upon which family members and staffalike participate to present those attributesthat will allow our residents to rediscoverthe joy available in life.” Keaton explained.
To keep residents active, The Commonsoffers an activity program that engages themind, energizes the body and nurtures thespirit. Activities include: health & wellnessprograms, fitness & exercise classes, craftclasses, puzzles, memory games, card games,social events, spiritual and cultural program-ming and exciting and fun outings. Otherthoughtfully designed common spacesmeant to be enjoyed include a beauty salon,library and billiards room. Additionally, TheCommons provides transportation for shop-ping and doctors’ appointments.
Keaton explains that many of their resi-dents enjoy volunteering and giving back to
the community. Residents have organizedfundraisers for causes such as Breast CancerAwareness and Wounded Warriors. Otherresidents enjoy making jewelry to sell in TheCommons’ store.
A year ago, The Commons added aMemory Care Village designed specificallyfor seniors with Alzheimer’s Disease and/orother memory loss not typically associated
with the normal agingprocess. Twenty-one apart-ments are dedicated specifi-cally to Memory Care,which provides our resi-dents with separate livingand dining areas, as well asan enclosed outdoor court-yard. In the Village, ourassociates and residentsspend their days “Reflectingon past accomplishments,Rejoicing in the momentand Renewing spirits each
day!” Keaton said. All 132 apartments at The Commons on
Pretty Pond are licensed for assisted livingand offer various levels of care. The month-to-month rent includes 3 meals per day,weekly housekeeping, laundry services,activities and entertainment, transportationand utilities.
The Commons has a variety of floorplans, including studio, one-bedroom andtwo- bedroom apartments. People who wantto experience The Commons, but wouldlike to try it first, can stay in an apartmentfor a few days. “This allows potential resi-dents to decide if The Commons is a good fitfor them,” said Keaton.
“The staff at The Commons on PrettyPond are dedicated to improving the lives oftheir residents every day,” said Keaton. “Ourgoal is to help make the transition intoassisted living (or memory care) enjoyablewith a goal of becoming healthier.”

Last year, the Pasco-Hernando StateCollege baseball team reached the WorldSeries for the first time in the program’s 23-year existence.
This year, the team fell just short of mak-ing back-to-back trips.
PHSC reached the National JuniorCollege Athletic Association Division IISoutheast District championship game lastmonth at its tournament in Martinsville,Virginia.
The third-ranked Conquistadors faced offagainst the top-ranked Catawba ValleyCommunity College Red Hawks.
A win would have meant a tie-breakingrematch with the same team, with the win-ner earning a berth in the NJCAA DII WorldSeries.
PHSC battled back from an early 5-0deficit to cut the lead to 5-3, but couldn’tkeep up with Catawba Valley and fell, 13-3.
They had lost to the same team by a 3-2margin earlier in the tournament.
The Red Hawks would go on to finishthird in the World Series, in Enid, Oklahoma,while PHSC went home.
But barely missing another World Seriestrip, while disappointing, doesn’t diminishwhat the team accomplished in coach SteveWinterling’s eyes.
“Besides just falling short of the WorldSeries, I couldn’t have been happier withthe way the guys played and fought all year,”he said.
They fought with defensive skills morethan anything else, Winterling explained.
In some years, hot bats that compensatefor average pitching define a team.
This season, the Conquistadors weren’tknocking everything out of the park, buttheir pitching and defense were strong andkept them in many games.
Some statistics tell the story: PHSCrecorded a school-record .972 fielding per-centage, and committed just 51 errors allseason. Some years they’ve had twice asmany errors, and the fielding percentage isnormally a good 18 points lower or more.
While they didn’t have their strongest of-fensive year, Winterling said there’s noquestion which type of team he’d rather
have. “I’d definitely take what we had this year.
It was a pleasure watching young kids pickit up, throw it over and make plays,” he said.“This club made the routine play, theyturned double plays, they ran balls down. Itwas fun to watch them play and not worryif the ball was hit.”
Even when opponents hit the ball, it usu-ally wasn’t enough to win the game. PHSCfinished 32-15 on the year and had littletrouble qualifying for the Southeast DistrictTournament, which required a .500 or bet-ter record during the regular season. Theteam started the year 11-3, and a particularlystrong nine-game win streak in March sawPHSC score 75 runs while recording fiveshutouts.
Their record became just one of a hand-ful of 30-win seasons the team has logged intheir 24 years, and is better than last year’sWorld Series team.
Once the team qualified, the rest of the
season was simply a tune-up for the tourna-ment. There was a concern that the playerswould ease up and not take the games as se-riously, Winterling admitted, but theyremained focused and played hard despitefacing tough competition.
Besides playing far into the tournament,the team also traveled far during the tourna-ment: What began in Kinston, NorthCarolina was completed more than 160miles away in Martinsville.
Tropical Storm Ana forced the games tobe moved.
The team had to scramble to find lodg-ing, and ended up staying in multiple hotelsover the course of the tournament.
“That was an amazing trip,” Winterlingsaid. “Definitely one not to forget.”
Now that they’re back home, Winterlingisn’t wasting any time getting ready for nextseason. He recently signed a catcher fromIndianapolis and is working on bolsteringthe pitching staff.
Those players will be needed, consider-ing PHSC will only have eight returningplayers plus a red shirt pitcher as holdovers.With around two dozen players making upa typical team, that means a lot of newfaces.
Despite losing three of the team’sstrongest pitchers, Winterling feels goodabout next season.
Some of the returning players are part ofthat stingy defense, and he identified JordanDing and Jordan Feist as part of a successfulleft infield that will be intact next season.
The coach believes they’ll form the nu-cleus of a team ready to extend the team’ssuccessful streak.
And while he already has his sights seton the school’s 25th baseball season,Winterling is proud of what the team ac-complished in Season 24.
“We just had a good group of guys. it wasall about winning and playing well,”Winterling said.
PHSC baseball stops just shy of World Series

When Pasco-Hernando State College’s baseball team takes tothe field next season, Jordan Feist will be expected to contin-ue the strong defensive play that defined this year’s team.
They played for successful teams atPasco-Hernando State College. Now they’lldo the same for other schools.
Jordan Bickett wrapped up a successfultwo-year volleyball career at PHSC; the teamwent 39-8 in her sophomore campaign, in-cluding a trip to the National Junior CollegeActivities Association Division II nationalvolleyball tournament. The Lady Quistas fin-ished eighth, the second-best finish inschool history.
She’s signed on to continue her volley-ball career at Georgia Regents UniversityAugusta, and that team made a little histo-ry of its own last season. The Jaguarsfinished 27-9 and entered their firstDivision II Southeast Regional tournamentas the fourth seed, before falling to theeventual regional champion. Bickett’sPHSC coach, Kim Whitney, and GRUAugusta’s coach, Sharon Quarles, bothwon Coach of the Year honors in theirmost recent campaigns.
In baseball, Chris McCormick got ataste of World Series play in his freshmanyear when the Conquistadors reachedtheir first-ever National Junior CollegeAthletic Association Division II WorldSeries, where they finished fourth. Thispast season they fell just shy of anotherberth, but eclipsed 30 wins and finished
with a better record that they had duringtheir World Series run.
He’ll join a team that’s no stranger toWorld Series play: The Spartans just won
another Division II World Series title lastmonth. That championship goes with theone they earned in 2013, and five othersin the program’s history.

It’s summertime, so that meansthe kids are out of school andout-of-town guests are flockingto Florida to take advantage ofthe state’s world-famous themeparks and its gorgeous beaches.
But here’s a place, just off the beatentrack, that’s truly one of Tampa Bay’s gems.
The Florida Botanical Gardens offers visi-tors a chance to experience beauty, learnabout nature, get some exercise and find anice shady spot for a picnic lunch.
The attraction, at 12520 Ulmerton Roadin Largo, has another huge plus: It’s free.
You don’t have to go to Disney World orBusch Gardens to see topiary. You can visitthe Wedding Garden at the Florida BotanicalGardens to see a Cupid topiary take aim at aleafy green heart.
If palm trees are your thing, you’ll enjoythe collection here, including a date palm, aribbon palm, a European fan palm, a Zombiepalm, a Sugar palm, a cardboard palm, a tri-angle palm — well, you get the idea.
In other spots, guests can get closeuplooks at spiky “crown of thorns” plants, gor-geous water lily blooms, exotic bird ofparadise plants and clusters of bananas.
There are trails especially designed forchildren.
There are areas likely to interest garden-ers.
There’s wildlife, too, including wadingbirds and turtles.
There’s also something else that visitorsneed to know about. There are alligators.
They typically lurk below the water —but sometimes they surface to make an ap-pearance.
The key is to be aware of them, stayaway from them and take seriously thewarning signs that are posted around theproperty.
While the Florida Botanical Gardens is agreat place to visit, it’s a good idea to goearly in the day before Florida’s brutal heatand humidity take hold.
Slather on plenty of sunscreen. Spray oninsect repellent. Drink plenty of water.
Bring a camera.And, enjoy.

Special to The Laker/Lutz News
If you are like millions of animal ownersnationwide, your pet is an important mem-ber of your household. Unfortunately,animals are also affected by disaster. Thelikelihood that you and your animals willsurvive an emergency such as a fire, flood,or tornado depends largely on emergencyplanning done today.
Here are five easy ways to prepare yourpet for an emergency:
• Identify a shelter. Before disasterhits, call your local office of emergency man-agement to see if you will be allowed toevacuate with your pets and that there willbe shelters that take people and their petsin your area. And just to be safe, track downa pet friendly, safe place for your family andpets. Most boarding kennels, veterinariansand animal shelters will need your pet’smedical records to make sure all vaccina-tions are current.
• Pack a pet kit. Take pet food, bottledwater, medications, veterinary records, catlitter/pan, manual can opener, food dishes,first aid kit and other supplies with you incase they’re not available later. Each pet isunique, but each pet needs the basics incase of an emergency.
• Update your pet’s ID. Make sureidentification tags are up-to-date and secure-ly fastened to your pet’s collar. If possible,attach the address and/or phone number ofyour evacuation site. If your pet gets lost, histag is his ticket home.
• Protect your pet during a disaster.Animals have instincts about severe weatherchanges and will often isolate themselves ifthey are afraid. Bringing them inside earlycan stop them from running away. Even ifyour dogs and cats normally get along, theanxiety of an emergency situation can causepets to act irrationally. Understanding whatto expect during a disaster is crucial.
• Keep an eye on your pet after anemergency. The behavior of your pets maychange after an emergency. Pets that are nor-mally quiet and friendly may becomeaggressive or defensive. Watch animals close-ly. Leash dogs and place them in a fencedyard with access to shelter and water.Familiar scents and landmarks may be al-tered and your pet may become confusedand lost. Remember to keep taking care ofthem even after the disaster.
