Freedom student is going to West PointBy Kevin [email protected]

A Freedom High student recently re-ceived an appointment to the U.S. MilitaryAcademy in West Point.

Dean LaGattuta received word that he’dbeen accepted into the prestigious serviceacademy on Jan. 20. He accepted the ap-pointment on Jan. 31.

Ironically, LaGattuta, 18, was visiting theWest Point, New York campus when he re-ceived the good news.

“It was just complete disbelief. I reallycouldn’t believe that I found out while atWest Point,” the high school senior said. “Itwas just a dream come true that I was ap-pointed.”

LaGattuta will report to West Point onJune 27, shortly before his birthday.

“I’ll be spending my nineteenth birthdaygetting my head shaved,” he said, with achuckle.

LaGattuta also applied to the U.S. NavalAcademy, but has yet to hear back about hisappointment status.

However, he has always viewed the U.S.Military Academy as his top choice for post-secondary education.

“Just hearing from West Point so early,and then speaking with my admissionsmajor, he’s the one that really sold me onWest Point—that they really wanted me—and that’s what really encouraged me to gothere,” LaGattuta explained.

The ambience of the campus and its richhistory were two aspects that stood out toLaGattuta, as he was weighing his college op-tions, which also included the University ofCentral Florida, the University of Florida,George Washington University andGeorgetown University.

“I love the seclusion of the area. I lovebeing by the Hudson River. It’s just an in-credibly beautiful campus, surrounded byrolling hills—something we don’t have here(in Tampa),” he said.

“I was always a history buff, and it’s allthe same architecture as it was 200 yearsago. Even the new buildings they’re con-structing—they’re matching the architectureto the previous buildings. I just love that feelthat you’re not just in history, but you’re alsobecoming part of history,” he said.

To be considered for the service acade-my, LaGattuta underwent an applicationprocess that seeks to identify candidates

who demonstrate leadership skills, havestrong moral character, excel in academicsand can surpass the required physical fitnessstandards.

In December, he was one of 14 studentsnominated for appointment to a UnitedStates service academy from the 15thCongressional District by U.S. Rep. Dennis A.Ross.

Eight other Tampa area students were

nominated, along with four from Valrico andtwo from Lakeland.

Appointments by service academies areusually made between January and April, andsometimes as late as May, according to GaryClark, chairman of the District 15Nomination Board.

Clark said a U.S. service academy(Military, Naval, Coast Guard, MerchantMarine and Air Force) typically accepts only

between 1,000 to 1,200 applicants out ofthe 17,000-plus that are sent in from acrossthe country.

Last year, the District 15 NominationBoard nominated 12 students. Seven re-ceived appointments.

A 2014 study by the U.S. News and WorldReport found the U.S. Military Academy tohave a 9.5 percent acceptance rate — the fif-teenth most selective rate among all collegesand universities in the United States.

Knowing that his college years will bespent at the U.S. Military Academy is aweight off of LaGattuta’s shoulders.

“I still have to focus on my (high school)grades, but having that uncertainty of whereI’m going to be in the coming months gone,I’m so relieved. It’s just really a blessing,” hesaid.

The appointment means LaGattuta is obli-gated to spend at least 10 years in themilitary, including four years at the Academyand six years on active duty.

“This is really going to be the start of along journey, and I hope for a long career,”he said. “I definitely see myself surpassingthe required amount of years of service, andI’m really looking forward to the yearsahead.”

While keeping his career options open,LaGattuta is intrigued by some professionswithin the military.

“Right now, I’m interested indoing...Army Intelligence or something withcybersecurity, because it’s such a growingnecessity, especially in an increasingly tech-nological world in warfare,” the high schoolsenior said.

For now, LaGattuta will be busy for therest of the school year and over the summer.

He’s currently on the Freedom High varsi-ty tennis team, and is serving as chairman ofTampa mayor Bob Buckhorn’s YouthLeadership Council.

Over the summer, he’ll teach leadershipclasses at the council, serve meals to thehomeless at the Trinity Café and work withunderprivileged children at A BrighterCommunity, the oldest nonprofit preschoolin Hillsborough County,

He’s also aware that he needs to take ad-vantage of the time he can now spend withfamily and friends.

“For the next four years, there’s going tobe a limited amount of time that I can seemy family and friends once I go up (to WestPoint),” he said.

NEW! Made for iPhone Hearing Aids

By Nicole PinsonSpecial to The Laker/Lutz News

Although we love spending time in ourgardens, many things can harm us when weare working outside.

So, it’s important to use precautionswhile we’re doing our garden chores.

I know this from experience.Some plants, such as bougainvillea and

pygmy date palms, have thorns that canpuncture your hand or finger joints.

The residual plant matter from the thornscan lead to an infection called thorn synovi-tis.

I know this, because a thorn puncturedmy knuckle as I was pruning bougainvillea.My finger swelled, I lost range of motion andwas in pain for weeks. Eventually, I had tosee an orthopedic surgeon about the infec-tion. Now, I always wear my gauntlet gloveswhen working with thorny plants.

And, that’s just one of the hazards youcan encounter while gardening.

Here are some things to keep in mind tohelp you stay safe.

• Protect yourself from sun exposure.Wear long sleeves and long pants, stay hy-

drated, stretch and take frequent breaks.Wide-brimmed hats and sunscreen affordmore sun protection.

• Read the labels of pesticides, fungicidesand herbicides.

The label is not only the law, but it alsoprovides you important information abouthow to protect yourself with personal pro-

tective equipment and clothing, if needed.The label provides directions for use and

environmental hazards such as minimizingexposure to nontarget organisms like honeybees.

In addition, the label will provide infor-mation about re-entry periods or

Preharvest intervals (PHI). A preharvestinterval is the minimum amount of days thatmust be observed between the date of thelast application of the pesticide and the dateof harvest, which means you must wait thatamount of days before you can harvest thefruit or vegetable.

Another important piece of informationis called APP, or the maximum number of ap-plications allowed per crop per year.

• Avoid stingsMany of our native bees, wasps and flies

are important pollinators and should be en-couraged to visit your garden. However,some may sting when provoked, or whentheir nest is disturbed. To help avoid stings,don’t walk barefoot in the yard; keep sweetdrinks and foods covered; pick fruit as itripens and dispose of rotten fruit; moveslowly, and don’t swat at bees or wasps thatare foraging for food. It’s also a good idea towear insect repellant, and avoid mowing thelawn or working in the garden when beesand wasps are active.

• Prevent other bites and beware of poi-sonous plants

You can protect yourself from stingingcaterpillars, venomous snakes, biting spiders,mosquitoes and poisonous plants by not

handling something you cannot identify.Learn to recognize poisonous or venomousplants and animals — such as poison ivy andpygmy rattlesnakes. Keep your garden freeof debris piles, weeds and standing water,too, to reduce hiding places and habitats.

• Wear glovesBe sure to protect your hands when

working with sphagnum moss and aroundplants with thorns. A fungus calledSporothrix schenckii can cause the diseasesporotrichosis, also known as the rose gar-dener’s disease or rose thorn disease. Thisfungus can be found in sphagnum moss andpeat moss, and may enter the body throughcuts or skin punctures, causing lesions.

This disease is rarely life-threatening andcan be treated with antifungals, but garden-ers should be aware of this potential threatwhen working with peat or sphagnummoss.

• Look out, belowIt’s a good idea to find out what’s below

ground before you begin digging.You can call Sunshine 811, a nonprofit or-

ganization that notifies utility companieswhere you plan to dig, so they can come outto your property and mark underground ca-bles and pipes. This can protect you frompotential damages and can help to keep yousafe.

This process usually takes a few days, socall well in advance of your project.

Of course, these are just a few tips tohelp you along.

If you are injured or suspect you’ve been

bitten by a venomous snake or spider, call911.

If you or someone you know has ingest-ed a poisonous plant, call the Florida PoisonInformation Center at (800) 222-1222.

And, if you have other questions, or needhelp identifying a plant or an insect, callyour local Extension office.

The Light AheadBy Trinity Memorial Gardens

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

Q. Why is cremation so popular today?Cremation is a choice of final disposi-

tion, and is coupled with other consider-ations to celebrate one’s life, such asmemorial services and property selec-tion. The short and easy answer is peo-ple’s perception that cremation is lessexpensive than full-body burials.

However, another reason for the ris-ing popularity of cremation is the cultur-al change that has occurred since the1970’s in our country. For most of ourhistory, we have been a faith-based soci-ety, and whether or not we practiced ourreligion, nearly everyone had the influ-ence of parents of faith, and attended, insome measure, religious services. Thatingrained faith precluded many fromeven considering cremation, as it wasdiscouraged by various faiths. As oursociety has drifted to a more secularviewpoint, the actual choice of crema-tion has become acceptable in mostcases.

The Cremation Society of NorthAmerica’s website features some historyof cremation. To summarize in brief,cremation was prevalent in the timesbefore Christ, excepting those of Jewishfaith. Then, when the age of Christianityarose, ground burial and entombment ofthe full body became the norm. In thelate 1800’s however, cremation began tospring to life in Europe, and eventuallyhas become the preference of many.

Sadly, one consequence of those whoselect cremation is the common practiceof no memorialization. Interestingly,there are many alternatives for thosechoosing cremation to wonderfullymemorialize their loved ones for futuregenerations. In recent years, glass frontniches have become a popular choice, asit allows families to view the urn andmementos of their loved one, and we areweeks away from opening our newniche chapel.

Best Dining Value In TownSpecial to The Laker / Lutz News

Land O’ Lakes newest restaurant —Imperial Buffet in the Village LakesShopping Center — is one of the best din-ing values in town.

In addition to more than 100 tradition-al Chinese buffet items made fresh everymorning, it also offers unlimited Japanesesushi and sashimi, plus a hibachi grill onthe buffet line or atyour table.

“Only ImperialBuffet gives cus-tomers sushi andhibachi at no addi-tional cost,” saidVivian Zhang, whoowns the restaurantwith her husband,Tony.

Imperial Buffet isa tremendous value.Lunch is $7.99seven days a week.The buffet after3:30 p.m. is $11.99 Monday throughThursday, and $13.99 Friday throughSunday. The weekend buffet after 3:30P.M. includes unlimited crab legs.

And discounts up to 10% are given toseniors, veterans and church groups.

“You can eat at our restaurant for lessmoney than many fast food chains,” addsVivian. “Our service is very fast, and buf-fet lines are always ready to go. We like tosay that we’re faster than fast food!”

Kids also love Imperial Buffet becauseit offers their favorite foods — pizza,chicken nuggets, cream cheese wontons,french fries, ice cream, fried bananas andsugar donuts. And parents love the dis-counted kids pricing, which begins at$2.99 for ages 3-5, $4.99 for ages 6-8 and$6.99 for ages 9-11. Children under 3 arefree.

The story behind Imperial Buffet beganlast fall when Vivian and Tony bought

another Chinese restaurant at the samelocation.

The couple, which has worked in therestaurant business for more than 20 years,spent three months completely renovatingthe 7,700 sq. ft. restaurant. They invested$400,000 to create a beautiful, open floorplan with new flooring, walls and interiordécor.

Imperial Buffet reopened in January, andarea residentshave been flock-ing to the restau-rant ever since.Once guestscome for the firsttime, theyalmost alwaysreturn because ofthe excellentfood and service,and incrediblylow prices.

The restau-rant seats 200 in

a spacious combination of booths andtables. There is a separate dining room thataccommodates 90 that is perfect for privategatherings and community groups.

Vivian and Tony came to the U.S. fromsouthern China 20 years ago. They settledin New York City, and learned the art ofcooking and restaurant management. Theymoved to Florida five years ago, and openedrestaurants in Miami, Palm Beach andTampa before opening Imperial Buffet inLand O’ Lakes.

Tony is the master chef and sets excep-tionally high standards for his team, whoarrive early every morning to prepare foodfrom scratch, using only the freshest ingre-dients.

“Tony has very strict management —everything has to be perfect,’ said Vivian,who manages servers and greets guests. Welove what we do and enjoy giving our cus-tomers the great food at great prices.”

Francona in 2013 and 2014.With his playing days finished and his

coaching career in full swing, Cash wasn’tsure how long it would take before he’d beable to permanently return to Florida—where the bulk of his family and his wife’sfamily, live.

Cash still recalls his younger days growingup in the Valley Ranch Drive neighborhood,situated across from Lake Park.

“I remember when my parents moved tothe neighborhood in Lutz, it was like a onestreet cul-de-sac, and there were boys every-where,” Cash said. “We had pickup footballgames, pickup basketball, baseball gamesevery day. It was just a pretty cool neighbor-hood to grow up in, because there were somany kids our age that we could go outthere, and have a complete game with.”

Even back in the late ’80s and early ’90s,the Tampa youth baseball scene was rifewith talent.

In 1989, 12-year-old Cash played secondbase for the Northside Little League teamthat reached the 43rd Little League WorldSeries, which then consisted of the top fourlittle league teams from both the United

States and the rest of the world. From the time Cash attended (and gradu-

ated) Gaither High from 1993 to 1997, 31players from Tampa were drafted to pro ballclubs directly from the high school ranks.

“It was a youth hotbed,” said Cash, whoplayed college baseball at Florida State.“There were just a lot of good players com-ing out of that area...and the competitionwas always very healthy. When you look atwhen that age group got to high schoolbaseball, you started to see that there werereally good high school players that were ei-ther getting pro contracts or opportunitiesto go play college baseball.

“We’re biased, because we think Floridabaseball is great, but we get to play year-round where some other states obviouslydon’t,” Cash said.

Despite having a father, Mike, whoplayed minor league baseball, Cash neverfelt pressure to participate in the sportgrowing up, often playing with his brother,Justin, as much as possible.

“Playing as a little leaguer was the high-light of (our) day—going to practice, playingthose weekend or weekday night games. Wejust really enjoyed it,” Cash said.

“We just always wanted to play. We livedat the Northside Little League Park.”

RAYS, from page 1A“I always loved archeology as a kid. I was

always digging in the backyard, hoping tofind something. I always had that interest,”Seina said.

“I never really thought so much aboutfossils, until he (Mike) took me looking forshark’s teeth in Venice,” she said.

Mike said he became interested in fossilsafter a kid showed him some shark’s teethhe had found.

“My favorite fossil, I think, is shark’s

teeth,” Mike said. “What I quickly came to ap-preciate was the time involved. “Mostpeople can’t conceive the time.

“You pick up a shark’s tooth on thebeach,” he said. “It’s from a 5 million-year-oldanimal.

“Some of the fossils we dig out west are30 million years old. You cannot conceivethat kind of time frame,” he said.

The Searles have built their knowledge ofarcheology and paleontology through yearsin the field, listening to experts and sharingdiscoveries with other club members.

The Tampa Bay Fossil Club meets month-ly at the University of SouthFlorida, featuring presentationsfrom experts. Club members bringitems to the meetings for help inidentifying the specimens.

The club also goes on field trips,has an annual campout and organ-izes other activities.

“I’m certain we’re the largestamateur club in the country,” Mikesaid.

There’s camaraderie amongclub members, the couple said.

When fossil hunters get togeth-er, Mike said, they tend to talkabout things like the newest sloththat’s been found, or why diving isoff limits in certain areas, Mike said.

“Everything else seems like itdoesn’t matter,” he said.

From flashy to trashy for a causeThe GFWC Lutz-Land O’Lakes Woman’s Club hosted a ‘flashy to trashy’ luncheon and fash-ion show featuring items pulled from donations for its annual flea market at the Old LutzSchool. Club members had a laugh-filled afternoon strutting down the runway during anauction of their outfits. The proceeds benefited Very Special Arts (VSA) at Tampa GeneralHospital’s Children’s Art Room by providing much-needed art supplies.

Mike and Seina Searle spend much of their free time hunting for fossils. The shelves in aroom in their Lutz home are filled with items they’ve found. They have more in their garageand in a patio area out back.

The couple has traveled to Nebraska 19 times to huntfor fossils and plan to make a 20th trip there this year.

CHECKTHIS OUT

Cash is becoming accustomed to leading roleBy Kevin [email protected]

After taking over for highlyregarded manager Joe Maddonin 2015, Kevin Cash feels morecomfortable as he enters hissecond season as manager ofthe Tampa Bay Rays.

He’s established relation-ships with the roster and frontoffice. He’s been battle-testedon in-game decision-making.

He’s also learned from rook-ie managerial mistakes afterthe club ended last seasonwith an 80-82 record, missingthe playoffs, and finishingfourth in the five-teamAmerican League East division.

The 38-year-old Cash, theyoungest manager in baseball,often found himself relying onhis coaching staff for help incritical moments of ballgames.

“That first year, you reallylean on your coaching staff, andkind of take their opinions be-cause the bulk of our coachingstaff had years of experienceworking for Joe (Maddon),”Cash said. “You try to listen totheir opinions, and get theirthoughts on specific playersand specific things on howthey were done, and formulateyour own ideas a little bit.

“It’s no secret that firstmonth, there was some stuffthat popped up where I reallyhad to rely on my coachingstaff,” the manager said. “As the year wenton, I was able to learn from experiencesthat happened a week before or a monthbefore, and make some better decisions.”

With 162 regular season games under hisbelt, Cash has more of an appreciation ofhow important communication is in the jobdescription of being an MLB skipper.

“You have to communicate on a dailybasis, on a weekly basis, and that’s witheverybody,” the second-year manager said.

If that happens, relationships will buildand evolve, Cash added.

In reflecting on his first season, he saidthe “most challenging aspect” was develop-

ing those relationships with “everybodyyou’re going to see on a daily basis.”

With just a few new players set to don aRays uniform, Cash already has laid thegroundwork.

That familiarity will definitely have itsbenefits, Cash said.

“Already having the relationships withthe guys, and knowing (third baseman)Evan Longoria and (starting pitcher) ChrisArcher, and what those guys stand for andhow they go about their business, thathelps. It also helps to get the new playersacclimated,” he said.

While some coaches or managers would

feel pressure taking the reignsfrom a wildly successful prede-cessor, Cash is grateful he hadthe opportunity to follow inMaddon’s footsteps.

The former Rays’ managerguided the team to the playoffsfour times in eight years beforeaccepting the Chicago Cubs’managerial job in 2015.

“He’s a huge part of this or-ganization, and a reason whythey’ve been so successful,along with (former generalmanager) Andrew Friedman,”said Cash, who played forMaddon in 2005. “MattSilverman (Rays’ chief of base-ball operations) and I came intoa situation that had great cul-ture, really good players, andthere was a great foundation.I’m just extremely appreciativeand thankful that I got to followhim.”

In fact, Cash views Maddonas an influence in his own man-agerial style, along with othersuccessful skippers includingTerry Francona, of theCleveland Indians and BuckShowalter, of the BaltimoreOrioles.

“You try to take somethingfrom a lot of different managers.You have a lot of respect andadmiration for anybody that fillsthis role,” Cash explained. “Youtry to take little bits of informa-tion and form your own style,but to get your own style,

you’ve got to look and see what some otherpeople are doing sometimes.”

With the offseason additions of hittersCorey Dickerson, Logan Morrison, HankConger, Steve Pearce and Brad Miller, theRays figure to enter the season with a moreversatile and balanced lineup.

“The front office has done a tremendousjob of adding to our lineup,” Cash said. “Webrought in some guys that we feel can reallyhelp us out and lengthen us out a little on adaily basis.”

After battling injuries nearly all of lastseason, he’s looking forward to having a ros-ter of healthy players entering.

“Every team has injuries, but (stayinghealthy) definitely helps. It’s not realistic tosay we’re going to be healthy for 162games,” he said.

As for improving in the win-loss columnand possibly clinching a playoff berth, Cashacknowledges the responsibility to showprogress falls square on his shoulders.

That starts with properly handling tightsituations late in games.

“We’ve got to find a way to win closeball games. We play a lot of close ball games,and as a manager, it goes back to puttingyour players in a position to succeed in theeighth and ninth innings, and extra-inninggames,” he explained. “That’s going to be afocal point for me personally—to havesome questions and try to get a read on theguys, and how they feel in those situationsbetter.”

From her powerful bat to her leadershipbehind the plate, Kameron Aitken’s talent isevident the moment she steps on theWiregrass Ranch softball field.

So evident, in fact, that several major in-state universities—South Florida, CentralFlorida, Florida Gulf Coast and North Florida— showed interest in the junior catcher lastseason.

Aitken opted to verbally commit toFlorida International University (FIU) inMiami on Dec. 1, 2015 — after visiting thecampus on an unofficial visit and quickly re-alizing the school “just felt like home.”

“I felt like I could go to the team and bewelcomed right away,” Aitken said aboutchoosing FIU, a Division I school. “I had beenlooking at it for two years. The coaches mademe feel like that’s where I wanted to be.”

A varsity softball player at WiregrassRanch since her freshman year, Aitken brokeout as a sophomore, batting .379 with 17doubles and 39 RBIs.

“I’m a lot stronger player now than I wasmy freshman year,” Aitken said about her de-

velopment. “I’ve learned to recognize pitch-es better.”

Through 10 games this year, the sluggeris picking up right where she left off, bat-ting .379 with a team-leading two homeruns and 13 RBIs.

“She’s a big, strong girl. A very intelligentplayer,” said Tyler Finn, assistant coach forWiregrass Ranch. “Thank God we’re going toget her for another year.”

Teammates describe Aitken, who batscleanup, as a player that provides vocal lead-ership and contributes in critical momentsof games.

“Her offense is a big key. She reallycomes through in big situations,” said seniorthird baseman Tylah Remaley.

“She is a clutch hitter, and gets those hitsthat you need that help you out in the endof games,” said junior second basemanAlexis Ridolph.

“She pushes others. If you’re struggling,she’ll say, ‘Hey, keep your head up, and justkeep going,’” junior Samantha Hiley said.

In addition to her hitting ability, Aitkenprovides a calming influence as a catcher,where she works closely with a youngpitching staff that includes three freshmen.

“She has great leadership and is alwayscommunicating with her teammates,” saidWiregrass Ranch head coach YamaniVazquez. “She’s a catcher, so she’s the brainsof the operation. She’s what you would ex-pect from a catcher, basically.”

Coach Finn echoes Vazquez’s sentiment,calling Aitken a “tremendous, tremendouscatcher.”

“She’s been a catcher her whole life.She’s a leader behind the plate. She’s got arocket arm that’s accurate,” the Wiregrass as-sistant explained. “She’s going to playDivision I (softball) for a reason.”

While Aitken is a natural playing softball,she is always trying to improve — even dur-ing the course of a ballgame.

According to Vazquez, in a recent game,Aitken struggled in her first at-bat, and hadher mother record the plate appearance soshe could analyze her swing mechanics forher next time up to hit.

As it turned out, Aitken figured out theproblem. She had “dropped her shoulder”during her swing path.

“I’ve never seen that — just trying to bet-ter yourself in the same game,” her headcoach said.

Aitken’s willingness to correct mistakeson her own—and handle it with a positiveattitude—is what makes her special,Vazquez added.

“She has that drive. She has that intrinsicdrive that you can’t really teach,” he ex-plained. “It comes from just knowing whatyou want and knowing your goals. Andthat’s what she has going on. She has that in-trinsic drive to get better more than anyoneelse on this team, I would say.”

Whether you’re looking for aplace to entertain the kids,want to take out-of-town visi-

tors to a unique attraction or have apenchant for history — chances are you’llfind much to enjoy at Heritage Village inPinellas County.

The village is a collection of 31 historicstructures and features, some dating back tothe 19th century.

Children and adults alike can meanderthrough the pine and palmetto flatwoods toget a glimpse of buildings where peoplelived, shopped, worked, worshipped andhad fun.

It’s a place which offers children achance to let their imaginations run wild,and where visitors of all ages can find out allsorts of interesting facts about the region’shistory.

The 21-acre site boasts everything frombuildings that were spared from destructionto reproductions of iconic structures.

There are interior exhibits, too, showcas-ing Florida’s role in agriculture, tourism andother industries.

Visitors can drop in at H.C. SmithGroceries, to check out a 1915-era grocerystore. Out back, there’s a restored servicegarage.

The Sulphur Springs train depot has aprominent spot, and there’s old railcar, too.The depot was moved from a communityon the north side of Tampa and is typical ofearly railroad depots. It is the only structurebrought to the village from outside ofPinellas County.

The Williams Park Bandstand in the vil-lage is a replica of a structure originally builtin 1894. It’s a popular spot for gatheringsand on one recent afternoon, children wereracing across the bandstand’s floors, laugh-ing and playing.

The village also is home to SaffordPavilion, built in Tarpon Springs around1896 in the Cycadia Cemetery, east of U.S.19. The pavilion was constructed to honorAnson K. Safford, a former territorial gover-nor of Arizona and an important earlypioneer of Tarpon Springs.

Other points of interest include a boilingshed, a sugar cane mill, two schools, severalwood-frame homes, a church, a spongewarehouse and some cottages.

There are rocking chairs on porches,inviting visitors to sit down and relax, andthere are displays which spur memories ofprevious generations or invite conversationsabout what life was like decades ago.

A historical placard near the 1½-story logcabin built by James and ElizabethMcMullen tells of the family’s cattle businessand other ventures.

“The cattle ended up on dinner platesthroughout the South and even Cuba,” thesign says. “By 1869, the family manufacturedsyrup barrels and held sugarcane grindingparties.”

Visitors to the village can peek intohomes that are outfitted with vintage fur-nishings.

There’s also an outhouse, a smoke houseand a barn filled with wagons.

The boat shop is a recent addition to thevillage and it seemed to be a popular placeone recent afternoon.

There’s also a nature path —the Shirley

McPherson Native Plant Trail — which me-anders through a pine flatwood habitat.

And, for those who would prefer a biggernature show, the Florida Botanical Gardens,at 12520 Ulmerton Road, is right next door.

Neither attraction charges admission.Visit PinellasCounty.org to find out more.

This typical Florida ‘Cracker’ log cabin, was built around 1852 by Capt. James ParramoreMcMullen near Clearwater. It is said to be the oldest structure in Pinellas County.

A couple relaxes on the front porch of one of numerous homes at Heritage Village, an attrac-tion that helps tells the region’s history through buildings and other historic features.

This service station, behind H.C. Smith Groceries, isset up to look like a working garage in a previous era.

Strolling through a living history museum

Railroading played an important role in the development of Florida. Before rail-roads came to Pinellas, settlers traveled by foot, buggy, on horseback or byboat. The state’s first railroad ended at Cedar Key, nearly 100 miles north of thePinellas Peninsula. In the 1880s, Russian immigrant Peter Demens launched hisOrange Belt Railway in Pinellas and Henry Plant brought his railroad to Tampa,according to information on the Heritage Village website.

H.C. Smith Groceries, was built in 1915 and originally stood on the southeast corner of SixthAvenue and Fifth Street South in St. Petersburg. The store served as a grocery and meat market.

B.C. MANION/STAFF PHOTOSThe only structure at Heritage Village that came from outside of Pinellas Countywas this railroad depot, which was originally in Sulphur Springs, a small com-munity on the north side of Tampa. It’s from around the 1920s.
