A Target store in Odessa is one of 13stores that the national discount chain plansto close in January, according to an an-nouncement from Target’s corporateheadquarters.

The store, at 16400 State Road 54,opened nearly a decade ago. But within twoyears of its opening, the economy took asteep dive.

Now, despite a renewed boom in devel-opment and an improving economy, Targetconsiders the Odessa store and 12 others inthe nation to be poor performers.

“The decision to close a Target store isnot made lightly,” said Kristy Welker, a Targetspokeswoman who responded to an emailinquiry from The Laker/Lutz News. “We typi-cally decide to close a store after careful

consideration of the long-term financial per-formance of a particular location. Typically,the decision to close a store is a result ofseeing several years of decreasing profitabil-ity.”

The 146 employees at the Odessa storewill be offered transfers to other Targetstores, Welker said.

Golf can wait – at least for now. Antiquesare so much more fun.

So, Laura Sanderson has put her golf ca-reer on hold, and has set up shop at ShabbyShack Antiques & Vintage.

The shop’s name is a twist on the BillMurray movie, “Caddyshack,” a classic come-dy about what else - golf.

But, let’s forget golf for the moment.Inside Shabby Shack, antiques and col-

lectibles fill the floors, nooks and cranniesof seven rooms.

The wares are from personal family treas-ures, garage sales and thrift stores.

“This has been a passion of my wholefamily, collecting antiques and unusualthings,” said Sanderson. “I’m at a point in mycareer when it was good to put it on pause,and go for it,” Sanderson said.

She is the new owner of the formerFamily Treasures’ property. That long-timebusiness on Land O’ Lakes Boulevardbought and sold coins, metal detectors andcollectibles.

The location also once operated as an an-tique shop, known as Calamity Jane.

Shabby Shack, at 4312 Land O’ LakesBlvd., is stepping out with its own sense ofstyle.

Sanderson asked her family members to“thin out” their antiques at home, and bringthem to Shabby Shack.

On weekends, she also combs throughgarage sales and thrift shops on the lookoutfor the one-of-a-kind item.

“It’s not straight antiques. I have moderntoo, if it’s unusual,” she said. “I like things thathave form and function.”

Her favorites are art deco and mid-centu-ry Modern.

In her spare time, she goes creative and

repurposes what seems to have lost its func-tion. An old camera with a flash attachment,for instance, becomes a lamp. Map pagesfrom an atlas become the foundation forwreaths.

More than two decades ago, CharlotteEmbody watched a televised speech by abasketball coach, who had been diagnosedwith cancer and was accepting an award.

The March 3, 1993 speech was uplifting,but Embody didn’t expect it to have a per-sonal impact on her family.

“Of course, it was emotional, but it didn’tbecome a big thing in my life,” Embody said.

Over time, that would change.The coach making the speech was Jim

Valvano, former head coach of NorthCarolina State and an analyst for ESPN.

He was accepting the first Arthur AsheCourage and Humanitarian Award at the in-augural ESPY Awards, ESPN’s awards show.

And, the speech would become an icon-ic 10 minutes of inspirational television.

Valvano succumbed to cancer the follow-ing month, but his legacy continued farbeyond his coaching accolades or the fre-quent replays of his famous speech.

Valvano founded the V Foundation forCancer Research, which has donated more

than $150 million in research grants overthe years.

Now, Embody has organized a speakingand book-signing event on Nov. 18 at 7p.m., at Carrollwood Day School, 1515 W.Bearss Ave. in Tampa. The public is welcometo attend, and there is no admission charge.

The school and the V Foundation willhost former ESPN President GeorgeBodenheimer, who will be talking about hisbook, “Every Town is a Sports Town:Business Leadership at ESPN, from theMailroom to the Boardroom.”

Bodenheimer donates all of the royaltiesfrom his book to the cancer foundation.

Embody and her husband, Derek, alsohave donated to the V Foundation over theyears, but the famous speech became a partof her family’s activities as well. Her sons at-tended Carrollwood Day School, and heroldest son, Billy, was given the speech toread in fifth grade.

“He performed it for competitions at thebay area Forensics League,” Embody ex-plained. Eventually, he won first place with

Festival introduces new stables to Wesley ChapelBy Michael [email protected]

Sarah Russell took horse-riding lessonswhen she was 4.

At age 7, she got her first AmericanSaddlebred.

By the time she was 15, she was a worldchampion equestrian.

“It’s just my passion,” Russell said.Now, it’s her business as well.Russell opened Sarah Russell Stables Oct.

1, with a 24-stall barn, covered arena and ahalf-dozen training horses. She lives on theproperty, located at 29319 Hadlock Drive inWesley Chapel, with her husband, Ross, andson, Kellan.

They’ll host a free Fall Festival event onNov. 29 to serve as an open house of sorts,and introduce the business to the communi-ty.

Russell has worked in stables locally, andin places like Kentucky.

The 29-year-old has spent her life com-peting and caring for horses, and hasnoticed the good and bad characteristics ofvarious stables.

She has taken the best of her experi-ences and put them into one Wesley Chapelbusiness.

“I think the Wesley Chapel area is reallyan untapped market for our business. It’ssuch a growing and booming town, it was agreat opportunity to start something like (anew stable) there.”

Russell has taken advantage of the op-portunity by offering riding lessons for alllevels of riders. She specializes in saddleseattraining, a challenging discipline which re-quires riders to handle a double bridlewhen guiding their horse. As a competitiverider, Russell claimed multiple national and

world championships, andmemorabilia of her titlesare displayed at her busi-ness.

But, you don’t have tobe an aspiring world cham-pion to get something outof horse riding, she said.She’s taught adults whohad never been on a horse,and they came away with anew passion and pastime.One adult student wentfrom never riding before toowning three horses.

While grownups canenjoy valuable experiencesby riding, children andyoung adults learn lessonsthat stay with them whenthey’re out of the saddle.

“It’s such a commitment. It teaches youdedication, and determination and hardwork,” Russell said. “You learn to develop aconnection between you and your horsewhich is so good for so many other aspectsof life.”

The stalls are already filling up with stu-dents who board their horses there, andRussell keeps the training up even whenthe owners aren’t around. The students stillcome by frequently to bond with theirhorse, she said.

Russell and her husband are originallyfrom Michigan. When they moved to thearea, they lived in a more traditional subdivi-sion.

But, that wasn’t the life she wanted, andhaving her own business on 18 acres suitsher much better.

Her husband is a veterinarian whose of-fice also is on the property, and Kellan,

while only 2, already enjoys being aroundand sitting on horses.

In a couple of years, he’ll be his mother’sage when she started taking lessons, andRussell believes he’ll take to it like she did.

Owning a stable isn’t easy, Russell ad-mits.

While she already has clients whosehorses get trained on a daily basis, there’sstill a lot of work to do less than twomonths into her new career.

“It’s a lot of work. It’s a big undertakingand a huge commitment, but it’s what I’ve al-ways wanted to do, so it’s a great thing,” shesaid. “It’s totally worth it. Every minute of it.”

The Fall Festival will run from noon until4 p.m. It will include local vendors, facepainting, a bounce house and pony rides.For information about the festival or the sta-bles, contact Russell at (810) 955-5023 [email protected].

Tampa Bay Lightning launches regional partnership

By B.C. [email protected]

The 2016-2017 school year will ring inearlier for students in Pasco andHillsborough counties.

Students in Pasco County will begin nextschool year on Aug. 15 and will finish it onMay 26.

The Pasco County School Board ap-

proved the new calendar without discus-sion.

“The purpose for the earlier start date isto allow secondary students to complete se-mester exams before winter break,”according to Linda Cobbe, the Pasco Countyschool district’s spokeswoman.

“It also lets us end the school year beforeJune,” she noted.

The adopted calendar has six fewer days

in the first semester than in the second se-mester.

The third quarter has the most days, andthe others all have roughly the same num-ber of days.

Kenny Blankenship, president of theUnited School Employees of Pasco, said hethinks students do benefit from havingthe opportunity to take their semesterexams and end of course exams before

the winter holidays.This school year, the end of the first se-

mester in Pasco County is Jan. 14. Nextschool year, it will be Dec. 22.

Students’ first day of school inHillsborough County next school year isAug. 10. The district’s first semester will endon Dec. 16.

The last day in Hillsborough County forstudents will be May 26, 2017.

School year starts sooner for local students


A $6 million initiative to expand thegame of hockey regionally in Tampa Bay isbeginning to play out in local schools.

The Tampa Bay Lightning, the NationalHockey League and the National HockeyLeague Players’ Association are collaboratingon a five-year program that aims to develophockey players and provide life skills les-sons to area youth.

As part of that initiative, schools through-out the region are beginning to have streethockey clinics to teach children about thegame.

Pasco County plans to offer the programto all of the district’s fourth- and fifth-graders, said Amy Lipovetsky, programcoordinator for kindergarten through 12thgrade physical education.

The school district was approached byTampa Bay Lightning and was glad to partic-ipate, she said.

“It fits nicely with our standards in thephysical education program,” Lipovetskysaid.

There is a standard that calls for beingable to strike with an implement, which youcan do with a hockey stick.

“I know the teachers are excited, and thekids like something different,” saidLipovetsky, who also oversees Pasco’s athlet-ic programs.

The Lightning plans to provide the streethockey clinics at 500 schools throughout

the region.“This semester they had openings for

maybe 10 of our schools. And, we’re goingto open up next semester for any remainingspots that they have,” Lipovetsky said.

Additional schools will participate asopenings become available, she said.

When the clinics are held at a school, theLightning sends in about five staff membersto teach the game to the school’s fourth-and fifth-graders.

They come in for a day, and they workwith all of our fourth- and fifth-graders.Generally, that takes five to six sessions.

“We want it to be effective. We don’t

want any more than 60 kids out at one time,so that they can get the most out of theevent,” Lipovetsky said.

Some former Lightning players are in-volved, and the school district’s physicaleducation teachers are involved, too, she said.

“The cool thing is that each of these kidsgets to walk away with a hockey stick and avoucher (for a game).”

The program is going an additional stepat Sanders Memorial Elementary STEAMMagnet School, the district’s only magnetschool.

Sanders students will learn about theconcepts of geometric constructions, ener-

gy and force — through a computer gameon the sport of hockey.

Schools that have participated in thestreet hockey clinics so far include ChesterTaylor and San Antonio elementary schools.

Besides Sanders, other area Pasco schoolsscheduled to have clinics this semester areSeven Oaks Elementary in Wesley Chapeland Denham Oaks in Lutz.

The street hockey clinics also take placein other Tampa Bay area schools, includingschools in Hillsborough County.

When it opens, Florida Hospital CenterIce also is expected to play a role in the ini-tiative.

By Whitney C. ElmoreSpecial to The Laker/Lutz News

“Why didn’t I come to you first?”That’s a commonly uttered question at

our Pasco County Extension office, whenhomeowners come in with landscape prob-lems.

Usually, this question is preempted by a“put the right plant in the right place” dis-cussion.

This Florida-Friendly LandscapingTM(FFL) principle is simple to grasp, but notobvious until someone puts it in plainEnglish by saying “you didn’t put the rightplant in the right place.”

It’s often an “ah ha” moment for folksthat’s followed by remorse.

Most landscape woes can be preventedby simply doing a bit of homework to deter-mine if a particular plant will be happy in aparticular spot in the yard.

One of the more common issues leadingto landscape remorse is the urge to use turf-grasses in shady locations.

We do not have any turfgrasses forCentral Florida that are adapted to shade. St.Augustine grass and Bahigrass, the mostcommon in our home lawns, need at leastfive hours to six hours of full sun daily tothrive; anything less leads to a weak plant.Remember the first principle of FFL – turfin a shady spot is putting the “wrong plantin the wrong place!”

No matter how many times you sod orseed that same area, lack of sunlight willlimit vigor and have the same result everysingle time – remorse.

But, there’s good news – better yet, greatnews! There are alternatives to turfgrass inshady locations.

Groundcovers are an excellent optionfor shady spaces.

A groundcover is a low-growing plantused to cover areas where grass can’t growor isn’t preferred, such as a shady spot.

Groundcovers not only cover bare soil;they also can be beautiful focal points andeven provide a more functional use of thelandscape, such as redirecting foot traffic.

Groundcovers also serve as practicallawn alternatives with many benefits.

One advantage is the ability to use themin areas where mowing isn’t easy — espe-cially where there are narrow strips of soilalong sidewalks, driveways or walls.

Groundcovers also help prevent soil ero-sion on slopes.

The right groundcover in the right placecan lower maintenance costs, reduce

weeds, provide color during winter months,and reduce overall landscape maintenance.

There are several considerations to keepin mind when selecting a groundcover, suchas: plant type (evergreen, flowering plant,vine, shrub, etc.), growing conditions andmaintenance.

Select a plant type that will satisfy yourneeds and aesthetic desire. Ornamentalgrasses, vines, flowering plants, and smallshrubs all can serve as groundcovers.

Like other plants, sunlight needs forgroundcovers can vary.

For example, if you need a low growing,spreading groundcover where there’s plen-ty of sunlight, select shore juniper or dwarfyaupon holly. These are handy in areaswhere you need to direct foot traffic.

The beach morning glory and the beachsunflower can provide a nice pop of colorin sunny spots and even attract butterflies.

Perennial peanut does great in full sunand provides excellent contrasting colorsand textures.

Our native coontie is a nice addition infull sun or shade along with brightly col-ored daylilies, which produce a nice focalpoint or dramatic effect in the landscape.

Another plant that does well in partialshade or full sun is the purple queen, whichproduces small, pink flowers and succulentstems.

In partial shade, choose Mondo grass orLiriope, aloe plants, false heather, or DwarfAsiatic jasmine. Asiatic jasmine does have atendency to “creep and leap,” so be pre-pared to do some frequent maintenance tokeep it from overtaking other plants and

sidewalks. In dense shade, choose hollyfern, cast iron plant, or Algerian ivy for acontrast in texture and color.

Arrangement and spacing will dependon the growth patterns for each of theseplants. In general, staggered row plantingswill provide the quickest coverage, and a 2-inch to 3-inch layer of mulch will helpreduce weeds and will lock in moisture.

Some groundcovers can be planted 2inches to 3 inches apart, while others needmore room, some requiring 3 feet to 4 feet ofspace between plants, like the native coontie.

Spacing depends on the plant itself, soplan to do a little research to be sure of yourdesired plant needs prior to purchase.

Water and fertilizer needs also dependon the plant type, so do your homework onthat, as well.

You can plant most any of these ground-covers anytime in our area, but do plan toadd organic matter to the soil prior to plant-ing, which helps increase water holdingcapacity and nutrient availability.

You can use compost, peat moss, andeven well-rotted manures incorporated intothe soil 6 inches to 12 inches deep.

Once established, most groundcoverswill be low-maintenance, long-term, grief-free additions to your landscape.

“She Kept Me Off The Operating Table”At age 58, the last thing GraceRickershasuer wanted was back surgery.But the Lutz woman was out of optionsand needed relief from chronic back paingoing back to a teenage injury.

“My surgery was scheduled and I was setto go. But then I met Peggy at SurgicalAlternative. After just a few

therapies, I no longer needed surgery and was on the wayto a pain free life. It’s been six years and I’m still pain free.For me, Peggy has been a miracle worker,” says Grace.

ceiling, waiting for its transformation. “It would be the perfect lamp hanging

over a pool table,” said Sanderson, who is agraduate of Brandon High School.

She began playing golf as a youngster,but didn’t become a professional golfer untilage 40.

She worked for more than 25 years as agolf pro at area country clubs, including TheGroves and Meadow Oaks.

She moved to Land O’ Lakes about sixyears ago.

Shabby Shack is in a spot along U.S. 41that Sanderson hopes is ready for redevelop-ment.

“I believe in Land O’ Lakes,” she said. “Iso badly want to see something happenalong U.S. 41.”

And, she’s eager for Shabby Shack to be apart of that transformation.

On a mid-day on Tuesday, Land O’ Lakesresident Margaret Dillard dropped by to pur-chase a pulley. She had her eye on it for afew days.

“I don’t know where you’re shopping(for antiques), but you’re getting somemighty nice things,” she told Sanderson.

Dillard said she enjoys the surprises thatcan be found at Shabby Shack. The shopcaters to all tastes from rustic to elegant, shesaid.

Sanderson said her goal at the shop is to“turn, turn, turn. I want new truckloadsevery week. I don’t want stale inventory.”

Merchandise generally is priced on thelower end of the scale, from $3 to $200.

Sanderson’s husband helps with lawnmaintenance around the property, which

also has a smaller building in the rear.Sanderson hopes to rent that out, possiblyfor another antiques space.

For now, Shabby Shack is pretty much aone-woman show.

“I’m just stepping out on a leap of faith,”Sanderson said.

the speech, and his younger brother, Andy,took it on and performed it as well.

The entire family all knew the speech bythat point, and after the boys lost a friend tocancer, it took on even more meaning.

Now, helping the foundation is a specialcause for the Embodys. When the VFoundation let her know that Bodenheimerwould be in town on that date, Embodywanted to set something up at the schoolher children once attended.

“We’ve known who he is for years, and

I’ve just been in awe of everything he’sdone,” Embody said, referring toBodenheimer.

They met at a gala event last year, andEmbody found him to be both inspiring anddown-to-earth.

As president of ESPN for more than adozen years, Bodenheimer led the companythrough a period of expansion, includinglaunching high definition, Spanish languageand college sports networks to grow thebrand.

Often cited in most-influential lists ofsports executives, he got his start as a mail-room clerk at the network, and left the

position of president in 2012 to become thenetwork’s executive chairman.

Embody is glad to have someone of hiscaliber speaking to the community, especial-ly local children. Sometimes they needpositive messages from someone other thantheir parents, she said. And finding the rightperson to deliver a thought-provoking mes-sage isn’t easy.

“In this day and age, it’s really hard tofind someone with good character andethics and integrity that you want your kidsto look up to,” she said.

Bodenheimer is that good-character in-fluence for both children and adults,

Embody said. Her children are in their 20s,but the speech from Valvano and the VFoundation still resonates with her family.

She hopes for a good turnout forBodenheimer at the Carrollwood DaySchool Theatre, and is glad to have himspeak at the school her children attended,and where they were first given that inspira-tional speech to recite.

“It’s sort of where our story really tookroot with the V Foundation,” Embody said.

Copies of Bodenheimer’s book will beavailable for purchase at the event.

For more information, call (813) 920-2288, or visit CarrollwoodDaySchool.org.

SPEAKER, from page 1A


When Vicky King took her coaching jobat Land O’ Lakes High School in the mid-1980s, it came with the duty of coachingathletes with special needs.

She embraced the role.As time went on, she found herself be-

coming more and more involved.Her dedication — along with the efforts

of the athletes she coaches — led to the se-lection of the Land O’ Lakes unified soccerteam to represent Team U.S.A. at the SpecialOlympics World Games in Los Angeles,which yielded a bronze medal when theteam defeated China, 2-1.

The team competed in a division that hasseven athletes on each side of the ball. It is aunified team, which pairs athletes with andwithout intellectual disabilities on the sameteam. Special Olympics athletes play along-side partners, who are there to providesupport and help.

While members of the Land O’ Lakescame home clutching bronze medals, King,herself was in the spotlight on Sept. 26when she was named the Florida SpecialOlympics Coach of the Year during a gala atShingle Creek Resort in Orlando.

Sherry Wheelock, president and CEO ofSpecial Olympics Florida, said King was sin-gled out for the award because of herpassion for athletes, both with and withoutdisabilities.

“She’s been a driving force for the suc-cess of Special Olympics Florida unifiedsports in Pasco County, but she’s also pro-vided and trained more than 50 otherSpecial Olympics soccer coaches through-out the state,” Wheelock said.

“She’s also been responsible for introduc-ing new schools to this unified competitionformat,” she added.

King also coaches a traditional team at

her school.She treats all athletes the same, Wheelock

said. “She has high expectations for all of theathletes to perform at their top level.”

Lisa Eckel, whose daughter, Haley playson King’s team, is delighted about King’srecognition.

“I think it’s a well-deserved honor. Itcouldn’t have been awarded to anyone bet-ter,” Eckel said.

“She (King) spends lots of time and ef-fort with all of the kids in the communityand in the school, and she just brings out

the best in all of them,” Eckel said.“My daughter (a partner on the team)

has been super fortunate to have these pastthree years with her (King), on and off, thesoccer field.

Eckel traveled with her husband, herother daughter and her sister-in-law out toL.A., to attend the opening ceremonies andto watch the games.

“It was amazing. You can equate it to whatwe watch on TV for the Olympics,” Eckel said.

She was impressed by the camaraderieshe witnessed between the teams from differ-ent countries, and was excited to hear theroar of cheers and applause for Team U.S.A.when the athletes walked out, she said.

The Land O’ Lakes team took part in anevent that featured athletes from 170 nationscompeting for international medals. Thegames included 21 Olympic-style sports.

Getting to those games took a year ofpreparation and fundraising, with King play-ing a pivotal role in both.

“It was definitely a year of a lot of training,fundraising, spreading the word about SpecialOlympics, those kinds of things,” she said.

“We raised about $42,000,” King said. “Itwas hard work.”

But, it was rewarding in more ways thanone, she said.

“We met new people through thefundraising,” she said. “The community reallystepped up and helped us.”

When the team left for the games, therewas a big send-off at Land O’ Lakes High.

“The day that we left was a year to theday that we actually found out that we weregoing,” King said.

“We trained all year. During the summer,we trained three days a week for two hours,from the end of school until we left in July.

“They (team members) spent practicallythe whole summer together. They got closerand closer the more that we were together.The bonds became stronger,” King said.

The experiences were equally enrichingfor both the Special Olympics athletes andtheir unified partners, King said.

“They both did things they never have ex-perienced before,” she said.

“For everyone, it was being away fromhome for two complete weeks and livingwith people you hadn’t lived with,” she said.

They also were living on a schedule be-yond their control.

They would rise at 4 a.m., have breakfastat 5 a.m. and board buses at assigned times.They also had to make scheduled appear-ances, King said.

It was busy, but exciting, too.The team and three coaches went to

Disney Studios and rode through Hollywoodand Beverly Hills.

They went to a four-day training camp inRiverside before arriving in L.A., and while inRiverside, they marched in a parade, Kingsaid.

The players were treated like celebrities.People who didn’t know them, wanted to

pose for photos with them, King said. Theywanted to meet the athletes that were repre-senting Team U.S.A.

“Young kids wanted balls signed, shirtssigned,” King said.

Being part of the World Games and win-ning the bronze medal were excitingexperiences, King said.

But, she added: “The biggest reward wasto see the accomplishments of the athletes,have them gain confidence in themselves,self-esteem, being able to travel, meet otherpeople, make lifelong friendships,” she said.

No doubt the World Games were a high-light in King’s coaching experience, but shealso enjoys the day-to-day work that shedoes.

She said she coaches to win, but alsoteaches other things along the way, such assportsmanship, fair play and rules of thegame.

Saint Leo’s cross-country team heads to nationals

Sources: MaxPreps, various

By Michael [email protected]

When Saint Leo University’s men’s cross-country team qualified for nationals, coachKent Reiber was quick to do what success-ful coaches do: Spread the credit around.

“We have a really good coaching staffhere, and everybody plays a part in makingthe program work together,” Reiber said. “It’sjust about putting the right training togeth-er with the right athletes.”

But, that doesn’t tell the entire story.It’s about the right coach as well.This is Reiber’s first year as head coach

after being on staff since 2011. It’s also thefirst year the team captured a regional title.

After making nationals the previous twoyears, the Lions will enter the 10K race onNov. 21 in Joplin, Missouri, this year asNCAA Division II South Region champions.

While he won’t take much credit forhimself (Reiber was also named bothSunshine State Conference and SouthRegion coach of the year), he does admit tohaving a specific coaching style.

“My belief is running for the team. Withour sport, it’s hard to have that team atmos-phere, but I really encourage our kids to runfor each other and find that reason withinthe team to run,” he said.

That team spirit can affect the results onthe course, Reiber said. If a runner passes ateammate, they’re encouraged to pull themto their faster level so Saint Leo can runmore as a pack. And, when a pack runs upto and past an opponent, it can be mentallyintimidating to the competition.

That philosophy also means running less

during the week than other programs. Whilesome schools have their runners put in 100miles or more each week, Saint Leo prefersa more-targeted running schedule to keepeveryone focused.

“We’re more of a program where we doa lot more quality as opposed to quantity, sowe tend not to have many of our runnersrunning the high mileage. We stick to alower mileage, but we make those shorterruns a little more quality based, and just put-ting in the right workouts at the right time,”Reiber said.

Saint Leo’s team trip to nationals is even

more impressive, considering the entireteam didn’t finish the race at the regionalchampionship.

Junior Rafal Matuszczak, one of theteam’s top runners, fell and was unable tofinish the race due to the heat. Normally,that would grant the title to another teamwith a full complement of finishers, but theLions’ other runners stepped up and fin-ished fast enough to garner the lowest score(a lower score is better in cross country). Asa result, they edged past Lee University forthe school’s first regional crown.

They’ll have their full slate of runners for

Missouri (Matuszczak is expected to be readyfor nationals), but they won’t have home-field advantage they enjoyed at regionals.

That competition was at Saint Leo thisyear, and the race was at The Abbey, the uni-versity’s golf course.

Hundreds came to show their support,and their cheers and excitement made a dif-ference to the athletes, Reiber said.

“It’s a huge confidence booster, beingable to run a race on your home course andknow that the people who are cheering arecheering for you,” the coach said. “It kind ofgives you a little more motivation to pushwhen you’re not feeling so good, or passone more person at the end.”

Still, he feels that his teams can accom-plish a lot in Missouri.

Besides coaching the men’s cross-coun-try team, Reiber also coaches the women’scross-country team, and they also qualifiedfor their national tournament. They finishedsecond in their regional competition andare headed to the national competition, too.

If things go their way, his teams have ashot at top-15 finishes in the country, hesaid.

While the Lions are looking forward andworking hard toward a good showing at na-tionals, Reiber acknowledged that theschool’s first regional title is an impressiveaccomplishment for the men’s cross coun-try squad, and their first-year coach.

“Words can barely describe the feeling Ihad after finding out that we won the re-gional title,” Reiber said. “The regional titlekind of solidifies everything that we’ve beendoing and all the hard work we’ve been put-ting in.”

Under coach Kim Whitney, the Pasco-Hernando State College Lady Quistashave always qualified for their regionaltournament.

Now, getting past that tournament andgoing to nationals is becoming a regularevent, too.

PHSC (19-11) will head to PhoenixCollege in Arizona for the NJCAA Division

II National Tournament that begins Nov.19. They qualified for the second straightyear (and sixth time under Whitney’stenure) after taking the regional tourna-ment in North Carolina Nov. 6 and Nov. 7.

The Lady Quistas will be seeded 11th,but their competition shouldn’t discountthem. The team won the national champi-onship under Whitney in 2010.

When Nick Hall set out tomake a bicycle trek acrossthe country, he focusedon a single goal: To inspire

others to join him in the quest to conquerpolio.

It was a 3,000-mile ride that would takeHall up steep mountain passes, throughstretches of desert, and along interstatehighways and down narrow roads.

He’d sleep in a tent on the side of theroad, or in abandoned buildings, or behindtruck stops.

He’d wash his change of clothes in sinksat truck stops or convenience stores.

Hall began his cross-country trek on July14 by placing the rear wheel of his bicycletire in the Pacific Ocean.

He finished his journey — surroundedby family, friends and supporters — on Aug.15 in St. Augustine.

Along the way, he shared the Rotary ClubInternational’s quest to eradicate polio fromthe face of the planet.

While he was out on the road, Hall said,his grandson asked how one man riding abicycle could help put an end to polio.

Hall’s wife told the boy that as the cyclistmet people along the way, they’d want toknow his story, and after they heard it,they’d share it.

Ironically, Hall said, this is much the sameway an infectious disease — such as polio—is spread. One person has contact withanother person, who in turn has contactwith others.

As Hall made his way across the country,Facebook posts chronicled his journey, anddonations came in to battle polio from peo-ple in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and,as far away as South Dakota.

The ride is over, but Hall is still sharinghis story. He recently talked about his adven-tures at a noon luncheon meeting of theWesley Chapel Rotary Club.

“I never had a goal of covering a certainnumber of miles, nor getting to a certaindestination by a certain time,” Hall said.There were too many variables beyond hiscontrol, he explained.

He had no power over the direction ofthe winds, he said, and didn’t know if he’dencounter a hurricane, or when his bicyclewould need a repair.

“And so, my goal was only ever to keepthe bike moving 10 hours a day,” Hall said.

Hall figured he had an average of 15

A cross-country mission to battle polio

hours of sunlight a day, leaving plenty oftime for breaks, which he took during thehottest parts of the day.

And, it was hot.“The bank sign in Blythe, California, on

the edge of Death Valley, registered 115 de-grees. And, for 10 consecutive days, the highnever got below 100.”

His longest ride on a single day was 150miles; his shortest, was under 70.

“My day would begin at usually a half-hour before sunrise. I would set my alarm togo off, because I didn’t want to miss aminute of the cooler temperatures beforethe sun really got blisteringly hot,” he said.

“I’d have a Fig Newton. I’d stop at a gro-cery store — buy a box, just to take theedge off my appetite. I didn’t want to wastetime eating a full breakfast, not when it wasthe coolest part of the day.

“I’d wait three or four hours before stop-ping, and then would eat a couple of friedeggs, fried ham, hash browns, toast.Sometimes extra servings of the hashbrowns,” he said.

Around mid-morning, he’d stop for oneof his favorite snacks: A paper-wrappedHostess Apple Pie.

It was 780 calories, and it was awesome,he said.

“I was losing a lot of electrolytes. Whytake salt pills when you can eat potatochips? Or, salted peanuts?

“And then, I would have a couple of ice

cream bars in the late afternoon.“You know there’s not much pleasure cy-

cling across West Texas — a barren landscape,resembling the landscape of the moon.

“And, there’s a need. We all need pleas-ure,” he said.

So, he indulged in foods that gave himpleasure and also helped him maintain hisweight, as he was burning around 4,000calories a day.

Hall rode through all kinds of conditions.He traveled on Interstate 10 through

parts of Arizona and Texas.Riding on an interstate sounds haz-

ardous, he said, but it was actually safer thansome of the other roads he took.

“Compare I-10, with a speed limit of 70miles per hour, with a road I was on in

Louisiana — two-lane road, speed limit 70miles an hour. No shoulder.

“There were multiple times when biglogging trucks would whiz by. They couldn’tpull over very far, because there was oncom-ing traffic.

“I had multiple, ‘Oh, fecal matter’ mo-ments,” he said.

His worst mishap occurred on the morn-ing of July 26, as he cycling on I-10 in WestTexas.

He was coming down a mountain pass ata decent clip.

“All of a sudden, I heard this horrible,metallic, crunching sound,” he said. “Thebike came to a shuddering stop. I did not. Ikept going.

“I’d run over a 6-inch bolt,” said Hall, whoscraped his face and knee but didn’t breakany bones.

The bolt hit the front tire, and the bikewas missing spokes, had broken spokes andhad a bent fork.

A truck driver gave Hall a lift to SanAntonio, Texas, for bike repairs, and Hall wasback on the road two days later.

Hall said the best moment on his tripcame when he arrived in Palatka.

At that point, he knew he was ahead ofschedule. He knew he wouldn’t need towash his clothes in a convenience store sink,or need to scout out a safe place to sleep.

He said he had the satisfaction, too, ofknowing people he’d met along his journeyhad contributed donations to help eradicatepolio from the planet.

Nick Hall routinely washed his clothes insinks at convenience stores and truckstops, so he could limit the amount ofweight he was carrying during his trip.

This map shows the route that Nick Hall followed during the second leg in his cross-country bicycle journey to help put an end to polio.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF NICK HALLNick Hall climbed steep mountain passes during a 3,000 trek aimed at raise awareness about the quest to conquer polio, and to raise moneyto help purchase vaccines to help eradicate the disease.

INTERNATIONAL AWARDThe Pasco Economic Development

Council received a Bronze Excellence inEconomic Development Award for BusinessRetention & Expansion-Single Event at thisyear’s International Economic DevelopmentCouncil Annual Conference.

The award honors the combined effortsof Pasco EDC with community partners, in-cluding Pasco County, New Port Richey, andDuke Energy, to keep Applicant Insight inNew Port Richey. The company is the city’slargest employer.

“This award serves as a salute to paceset-ting organizations like the Pasco EconomicDevelopment Council for leading thecharge,” said JoAnn Carary, in a press releasefrom Pasco EDC. Carary is chairwoman ofInternational Economic DevelopmentCouncil (IEDC) and president of SaginawFuture Inc.

The IEDC is a nonprofit membership or-ganization serving economic developers.

Representatives of Applicant Insight hadbegun to search new sites for relocation. But,Pasco EDC representatives met with compa-ny officials to discuss issues of concern,including the need for a larger facility, as wellas crime and safety.

Instead of relocating, the company signeda lease on a new location in New PortRichey, which keeps 100 high-paying jobs inthe area. Applicant Insight has increased jobsby nearly 30 percent with plans to expand inthe future.
