Pat Mulieri wasn’t part of the decision that built Pasco County’s animal shelter well off the beaten path inside the Lake Patience community and behind Oakstead Elementary School, but there are times she wishes she was. The shelter is 2 miles off Land O’ Lakes Boulevard, requiring a little bit of navigation along Lake Patience Road to Dogpatch Lane. Locals know exactly where to go when they need to deliver a pet, or adopt one, but the thousands of new residents calling Pasco home each year are surprised to learn Pasco even has such a facility, and that sometimes makes it difficult to get the word out. “I came to this shelter years ago when I had lost a pet,” Mulieri, a 20-year member of the county commission, said.“My husband didn’t lock the screen door for our two little dogs. One came back, and the other didn’t.” What Mulieri found at the shelter, howev- er, was something she was not ready for. “They let me in with the place closed, when they only had one building out here, and that’s when I saw the dead cats,” Mulieri said.“They had killed so many cats a day, and I didn’t even realize it. I couldn’t come back.” It would actually take years for Mulieri to return, but when she did, she was there to stay. Now Mulieri is a common face around the halls of the shelter’s administrative offices, and has been a major proponent in help- ing to build the shelter’s profile, and find homes for hundreds of pets each month. Promoting the shelter and finding ways to attract adopting families has fallen on the shoulders of Andrea Ciesluk, the assistant education coordinator at Pasco County Animal Services. Ciesluk joined the staff there earlier this year, and almost imme- diately, the shelter was getting noticed. “We want to advertise and get the word out so that people know who we are and where we are,” she said.“That’s not as easy as it sounds.” Ciesluk is doing it using a much different approach than what the shelter has done in the past.While animal services have typically worked with newspa- pers, television and radio to spread the word about the shel- ter’s needs, Ciesluk is reaching deep into the business commu- nity to find corporate partners willing to lend a hand — even if it’s simply through a new way of promoting events and specials the shelter has on a monthly basis.

“I’m not so much a nurseryman. I’mmore of a collector of bamboo,” saidLeonard Daszkiewicz, who has a bamboofarm and garden off U.S. 98 in Dade City.
“When the latest ones come out of quar-antine in China, I usually add one or two tomy collection,” he said, leading a tour groupfrom the Land O’ Lakes Garden Club aroundhis property.
Daszkiewicz’s collection boasts morethan four-dozen stands of bamboo, withsome canes soaring more than 70 feet. As heled the group around his property,Daszkiewicz told the garden club membersabout the various kinds of bamboo in hiscollection.
The avid gardener also told the groupabout the multitude of plants and trees onhis 10-acre plot.
The pride and joy of his collection is atropical blue bamboo that he bought for$90 in 2003. At the time, it was in a pot andit was 2 feet tall.
Now, it towers skyward.Bamboo is a resilient plant, Daszkiewicz
informed the group. In 2004, he thoughthe’d lose his bamboo because of the three
back-to-back hurricanes that hit the state.“The river was in flood stage for six
weeks,” Daszkiewicz said. “I thought I wasgoing to lose my bamboo. I didn’t lose aone. (But) it killed every laurel oak tree.”
The bamboo didn’t die, because it’s tech-nically not a tree, but a giant grass.
“It can take flooding,” he said.In another spot in the garden,
Daszkiewicz has a stand of running bam-boo. This bamboo lives up to its name, hesaid, unless steps are taken to keep it fromrunning too far.
He has enclosed his stand in a barrierthat runs more than 2 feet into the ground.Even so, he keeps an eye on it just to besure it doesn’t escape its confinement.
“You can’t ignore it,” Daszkiewicz said.“It’s invasive.”
Besides being beautiful, bamboo canesalso are musical. When the wind is blowingaround 15 to 20 miles an hour, he said, “Thecanes bonk together and make musicalsounds.”
Daszkiewicz’s wife Noreen is impressedby her husband’s handiwork.
“It’s fantastic,” she said. “It’s a sanctuary.”Daszkiewicz’s extensive garden sits on a
plot that is part of the acreage his grandpar-ents homesteaded during the 1930s, after
moving here from Chicago.As the garden club members made their
way around the property, Daszkiewicz — aPasco County master gardener — pointedout his extensive collection of trees andplants. Some yield beauty for the soul.Others, food for the body.
He grows okra, kale, onion, beets andsweet potato, among other things. He alsogrows giant stalks of sugar cane.
“In December, I’ll cut it down,”Daszkiewicz said. Then he’ll take it to aprocessor, who will turn it into syrup.
“Last year, I got about three gallons ofsyrup,” he added
Daszkiewicz uses the syrup on every-thing from pancakes to rice. He also growscamellias, which add color during the cool-
er months.Marie Woody, president of the Land O’
Lakes Garden Club, said the club goes onfield trips to see beautiful gardens, and tolearn new gardening techniques. The grouphas 15 members, coming primarily fromLand O’ Lakes, but also from Zephyrhills,Tampa and other areas, too.
It is open to men and women, she said,and welcomes new members.
The club meets on the first Tuesday ofthe month at the Land O’ Lakes CommunityCenter, from September through April. Itends the year with a celebration dinner inMay.
Annual dues are $10. For more information about the Land O’
Lakes Garden Club, call (813) 961-2697.

Growth at The Grove may depend on traffic lightBy Michael [email protected]
Hiring has begun at a ChuckE. Cheese’s store now under con-struction at The Grove at WesleyChapel, a shopping centeropened at the height of the re-cent housing boom, which isnow growing again.
How much the shopping cen-ter bordering Interstate 75 willexpand, however, depends on thecooperation developers get fromPasco County officials.
“The challenge we have withall the major future developmentout of The Grove centers aroundthe fact that the project lacks atraffic signal at the main en-trance,” Jim Mazzarelli, managingdirector at Genesis Real EstateAdvisers — the company work-ing with The Grove developers— told members of the GreaterWesley Chapel Chamber ofCommerce last week. “As our en-gineers say, we don’t have aningress problem, we have anegress problem. You can get in,but you can’t get out.”
The Grove has two entrances off CountyRoad 54, using Oakley Boulevard less than1,000 feet from the I-75 interchange, andGateway Boulevard, located another 800feet or so from there, where customers canfind a traffic signal.
Getting to Gateway is not easy, however.Shoppers have to leave The Grove, turnonto Dayflower Boulevard, and then turnonto Gateway on the other side of an EconoLodge. Anyone wanting to drive just straightout on Oakley either has to make a rightturn, or journey across three lanes of trafficto make a U-turn at Gateway.
“It’s a really awkward work-around,”Mazzarelli said. “It might work for everyonewho is there now, but it doesn’t work forthe big anchors who are going to come inand invest millions in a store. That’s a hurdlewe’ve been working to overcome for thebetter part of three-and-a-half years. We’regetting there, but it’s a long road.”
One 17-acre piece of land on the south-ern end of The Grove property, for example,is set up for a large box store, like a Lowe’sor Target, Mazzarelli said. The land has beenvacant since The Grove opened in 2007, butdevelopers are in negotiations with a largedepartment store “with a well-knownname.”
Such a deal, however, is contingent withadding a traffic light for the Oakley connec-tion to County Road 54. The Grovedevelopers already have spent more than$250,000 in studies and other work to getthat light in, but it still hasn’t happened.
“We are not taking this lightly by anymeans,” Mazzarelli said. “It is a critical ele-ment to the center as it stands today,especially right now when it’s only halfbuilt-out.”
Although 54 is now a county road, thereare still Florida Department ofTransportation restrictions in place since it
controls the traffic lights for vehicles look-ing to access I-75. Generally DOT wants1,260 feet separating traffic lights, and byadding one on Oakley, that would put threetraffic lights in a stretch of road totaling a lit-tle more than 2,000 feet.
“If you put in another stop light, that andthe other two stop lights already there cre-ates the possibility of traffic backing up intothe off-ramps of the interstate,” countyspokesman Douglas Tobin said. “We are re-viewing that, but one solution might be ifyou put a stop light in there, we have anagreement that, in the future, if it backs up,we’d be able to remove it.”
Other hindrances to expansion are re-strictions The Grove had to negotiatethrough when it signed leases with some ofits big tenants, like Best Buy, Dick’s SportingGoods and Old Navy. That was what stoppedthe Pasco County Tax Collector’s office fromopening a new location at the center, and
also kept the Pepin Academy charter schoolfrom considering some space.
“We had an idea to create this nice littleeducational court that could’ve been sealedoff” from the rest of the complex, Mazzarellisaid. “We went to the anchors and did agreat deal of negotiating with them, but wecouldn’t get the anchors to sign off on it.”
However, those restrictions could changein the near future. Many of the anchor leasesare up for renewal, and since some storeswould like the chance to upgrade their facil-ities, that gives The Grove a little bargainingpower at the negotiation table.
“In addition to giving the anchors somemoney so they can refurbish their stores, weare getting a lot of these restrictions re-laxed,” Mazzarelli said. “That will haveobviously long-term benefits for the center,because the fewer restrictions we have, themore flexibility we will have, and the mostsuccess we’ll have in this space.”
FRED BELLET/PHOTOFuture growth at The Grove at Wesley Chapel depends on help from the county to keep traffic moving in and out of the shopping complex off CountyRoad 54.

Crews were out beginning last weekclearing the land near the intersection ofState Road 56 and Interstate 75 for a newoutlet mall. And it looks that come this timenext year, there will be a new place for resi-dents to shop.
Simon Property Group told investors ina filing with the U.S. Securities andExchange Commission last week that con-struction has started on Tampa PremiumOutlets, a 441,000-square-foot center that isnow expected to open next October. Thatis later than what Simon had hoped to com-plete construction, originally saying lastyear that it would open by the end of 2014,and then pushing that back to July 2015 ashort time later.
It’s one of two new projects Simon hasstarted in the most recent quarter, accord-ing to the filing, joining a366,000-square-foot center start in Tucson,Arizona.
The Indianapolis-based company didn’tsay how much it was spending on construc-tion of the outlet mall in Wesley Chapel, but
said all of its current construction projectstotaled about $2.2 billion. That includes theTucson project, as well as recent premiummall openings in North Carolina andMinnesota, and construction and expansionof at least 30 other projects throughoutNorth America.
Tampa Premium Outlets LLC purchasedthe more than 48 acres of land on threeparcels for $14.1 million on Oct. 3, accord-ing to Pasco County property records. Thecompany is a wholly owned subsidiary ofSimon Property Group, according to statecorporate records, and Simon’s financial fil-ings with the SEC.
The full project will be built in sevenphases, according to plans filed with thecounty last February, which would includethe main outlet mall in the first phase withnine buildings. It will include nearly 2,400parking spaces, far more than the 1,600spaces required by the county for a projectof this size.
Simon has not made any formal an-nouncements on tenants for the property,or who will anchor, although some of thoseannouncements are expected by the end ofthe year.
Simon: Outlet mall construction has started
FILE PHOTOShoppers will have to wait a year, but Simon Property Group says it’s finally started con-struction on the new Tampa Premium Outlets, planned for State Road 56 and Interstate 75 inWesley Chapel.

The mute button for many televisionviewers has never been used more throughthe barrage of political ads for everythingfrom the governor’s race, to even PascoCounty Commission.
But as early voting continues throughthis weekend, and on Election Day itselfNov. 4, all of that is about to come to an end.
Be sure to get the latest election newsNov. 4 on our website atLakerLutzNews.com, and aftermath cover-age in our Nov. 12 print edition.
GOVERNOR ANDLIEUTENANT GOVERNORRick Scott, Republican
Has he done enough to win a secondterm as governor? Or is Florida ready tolook to its recent past and bring in a familiarreplacement?
Those are the questions Gov. Scott has toanswer as he touts the number of jobs creat-ed during his first term, and where the stateis heading economically into the future.
Scott struggled in his first couple years toconnect with people, including media, andsuffered a low approval rating until this pastyear when he worked to fix it. But issueslike high-speed rail (which he killed) and histime as the head of a major hospital chaincontinue to provide fodder for Democrats.
Charlie Crist, DemocratHe tried being governor once, and ended
up presiding over one of the worst econom-ic downturns in history, where hundreds ofthousands of jobs were lost.
But if that wasn’t difficult enough toovercome, Crist also has to convince votershe’s now a Democrat after a lifetime ofbeing a Republican, which also means he’s
changed his stance on a number of hot-but-ton political issues.
ATTORNEY GENERALPam Bondi, Republican
She’s not afraid to take a stand and ex-press her opinion, and it seems that’s whatvoters liked about Bondi when they firstelected her to office in 2010.
Yet, her firm stance on controversial is-sues could pose some problems, especiallyas the state fought against the federalAffordable Care Act, and continues to de-fend its ban of gay marriage, which is nowlegal in most other states.
George Sheldon, DemocratHe’s raised far less money than his oppo-
nent, but Sheldon — an attorney andgovernment administrator on both the stateand federal level — jumped into this racebecause he says the current attorney gener-al has mishandled her responsibilities.
He feels there’s a disconnect betweenBondi’s fight for the ban on gay marriageand her battle over the Affordable Care Act,saying that while marriage might be defend-ing a law, the program informally calledObamacare also is the law of the land.
COUNTY COMMISSIONER,DISTRICT 2Mike Moore, Republican
He easily moved past a busy primaryagainst two opponents — one who was aformer state legislator — and has raisedsome serious cash: $171,000.
But if history is a guide, county commis-sion races don’t always go to thebest-funded campaigns.
Moore has run primarily on job creation,using his experience as an entrepreneur tohelp get face time with large corporationswho might consider moving to Pasco
County. Yet, he brings a personality far differ-ent from the woman who’s held the officethe past two decades, Pat Mulieri, and thatmight turn off some voters.
Erika Jean Remsberg, DemocratShe’s raised less than $11,000 in her race
to become the first Democrat on the countycommission since 2010, but Remsberg hascertainly made her mark.
In fact, she won the endorsement ofMulieri, the retiring county commissionerwho isn’t even a member of the same politi-cal party.
Remsberg is hoping for a major grass-roots boost to propel her to victory, but thesocial worker knows it will be tough. Plus,it’s hard to tell how much she can accom-plish as a political minority on a board withits own agenda.
STATE REPRESENTATIVE,DISTRICT 38Danny Burgess, Republican
He became the youngest Zephyrhillscouncilman at 18, and was the youngestmayor at 27. And he’s raised nearly $142,000to try to replace Will Weatherford inTallahassee.
Many Republicans look at Burgess as thefuture of the party, but opponents fear helacks specific plans to help Pasco Countyovercome some serious growing pains.
Beverly Ledbetter, DemocratAfter spending more than three decades
as an educator in Pasco County’s school sys-tem, Ledbetter says she’s ready to use herexperience in the state House.
While she has worked with the teachersunion quite extensively, Ledbetter has notheld any public office before. However, sheis getting advice from her husband, MichaelLedbetter, who was a Pasco County commis-
sioner in the 1970s.But it could be a tough battle, as she’s
raised just $34,000 through last week.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO. 1
Water and Land Conservation –Dedicates funds to acquire and restoreFlorida conservation and recreation lands.
This amendment to the state constitutionwould move money already collectedthrough an existing excise tax into a fundthat would help purchase more conserva-tion lands in the state.
The goal would be to help improve theenvironment and water quality, supporterssay, and help provide a boost to the growingecotourism movement as well.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO. 2
Use of marijuana for certain medical con-ditions.
By far the most controversial measure onthe ballot, which would have likely receivedfar more attention if it weren’t for the tightgubernatorial race.
If passed, this amendment would openFlorida up to allowing the use of marijuanafor specific health conditions, under theguidance of a doctor.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO. 3
Prospective appointment of certain judi-cial vacancies.
If this amendment passes, the winner ofTuesday’s gubernatorial election will likelyappoint three state supreme court justicesto the state supreme court before he leavesoffice in 2019. However, if the amendmentfails, then the system will remain allowingthe winner of the 2018 election to makethat appointment.

The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report
With less than a week until voters haveto make a final decision on whothey should send to (or keep in)Tallahassee, a new poll from theSaint Leo University PollingInstitute shows Democrat CharlieCrist with a slight lead over in-cumbent Republican Rick Scott.
However, the survey — whichpolled 500 likely voters betweenOct. 16 and Oct. 19 — has a mar-gin error of plus or minus 4.5percentage points, still making theCrist-Scott race a statistical deadheat. Crist received 43 percent ofsupport from those surveyed,while Scott garnered 40 percent.
Yet, the numbers may be a lit-tle troublesome for Scott, sincethose polled also said they disap-proved of President BarackObama’s work in office. Thatmeans the anti-Obama sentimentRepublicans have tried to capitalize on inthe race may not be working.
Of those surveyed, 51 percent said theydisapproved of Obama, while 48 percent ap-proved.
Both Scott and Crist seem to have aboutthe same approval ratings themselves, withthe incumbent receiving 48 percent favor-able ratings, while Crist was at 47 percent.
Crist also had the support of 15 percent ofRepublicans, compared to Scott’s 11 percentof Democrats, and 76 percent of black voters.Scott’s biggest demographic was in older vot-ers above the age of 65, getting 48 percent oftheir vote compared to 44 from Crist.
“It appears as though Charlie Crist’s at-tacks against Rick Scott are working, as the
race has swung away from the incumbent inthe last few months,” said Frank Orlando, apolitical science instructor at Saint Leo
University, in a release.However, Crist’s lead is still a
bit tenuous.“Pre-election polls tend to
overstate support for third-partycandidates,” Orlando said. “Whenit comes time to cast their bal-lots, voters seem to settle on oneof the two main parties for fearof ‘wasting’ their vote.”
The Libertarian in the race,Adrian Wyllie, received 8 percentsupport, while another 9 percentremained undecided. However, ifWyllie was removed from theequation, Crist and Scott wouldbe in a true dead heat, getting 45percent support apiece, while 10percent remained undecided.
In the attorney general race,Republican incumbent Pam Bondiwas leading her Democratic chal-
lenger, George Sheldon, 47 percent to 39percent. Adam Putnam seems to be wellahead of his Democratic challenger as well,Thad Hamilton, for agriculture commissioner,where he is leading with 51 percent support.
The same is true for Jeff Atwater in thechief financial officer race, leadingDemocrat Will Rankin 50 percent to 35 per-cent.
Finally, how could the Ebola virus’ entryinto the United States affect state races inFlorida? Probably not as much as somewould hope. Only 46 percent said theywere concerned about Ebola, while 52 per-cent said they were not losing sleep over it.Just 3 percent were not sure how they feltabout the disease.

My Gynecologist’s Pascooffice staff are Kristina, Dr. Gomez and Doris.
By Jenny TimmsSpecial to The Laker / Lutz News
Dr. Christina Gomez believes practicingmedicine is truly a calling. Growing up inTampa, she volunteered in nursing homes andhospitals as a teenager before attending USF.
During her residency at the University ofMedicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Dr.Gomez gravitated toward obstetrics and gyne-cology. “It’s what I loved best during rota-tions,” she said.
Gomez approaches patients by focusing ontheir overall health and well-being. Shebelieves patients should be educated abouttheir health and be their own advocates. Sheencourages patients to ask questions aboutany and all health issues.
Before opening her new office on StateRoad 52 close to the Suncoast Expressway,the closest My Gynecologist office for LandO’ Lakes residents was in Spring Hill. Now,patients have convenient access to annualexams, contraceptives, menopause manage-ment and obstetrical care.
“I live three minutes away from my office,”said Dr.Gomez. “I shop here, work here andplay here. I understand why it’s so importantfor women to have convenient access to themedical care they need.”
My Gynecologist provides patients withaccess to an online portal where medicalinformation is available to them 24 hours aday. In addition, a medical liaison is availableto answer any questions. These services setMy Gynecology apart from other medicalproviders and allow patients to become theirown health and well-being advocates.
My Gynecologist’s north Pasco office isstaffed by Dr. Gomez and two assistants, andhas the full support of the practice’s mainoffice in Spring Hill. Tests and procedurescan be performed at either location. Dr.Gomez has privileges at Bayfront HealthSpring Hill.
“I feel like I’m fulfilling a need in the com-munity, while doing what I truly love,” saidDr. Gomez.
Whether riding on the Suncoast ParkwayBike Trail,or visiting Lowry Park Zoo with heryoung son, Dr. Gomez enjoys living in thecommunity where her patients also live.
“This is home. Getting to work so close tohome is great. I love taking care of people,especially helping women understand theimportance of good health.”
My Gynecologist accepts most majorinsurance plans, including Medicare. ThePasco office offers open extended hours dur-ing the week.

Paige Ramsay-Hamacher, director for mul-ticultural and international services at SaintLeo, said simulating the challenges thatsome people face enables able-bodied peo-ple to get an inkling of what it’s like to havea very different daily experience.
“The purpose is really to give students anidea to walk in somebody else’s shoes whodeals with challenges that they might nothave to deal with on a day-to-day basis,” shesaid.
The annual event has been going on forseveral years at the university. It allows peo-ple to help those with disabilities byrecognizing their challenges in a more per-sonal way, Ramsay-Hamacher said.
In the sandwich-making experiment, forexample, people will move the ingredientswhile the subject is trying to make a sand-wich. They learn that moving items aroundcan be detrimental for someone with a sightdisability, since they often memorize where
items are. For Ray, the disability challenges already
had a personal connection for her. Her step-mother suffers from multiple sclerosis, andtrying to open the candy gave her an evenbetter understanding of the challenges shefaces.
“She’s always been complaining that shehad trouble holding stuff, gripping stuff,” shesaid. “I never really understood it until I wasnot able to use my hands.”
Student volunteers guide each partici-pant through the stations, but that doesn’tmake the challenges easy when they try itthemselves.
“They find it’s much, much harder thanthey expect it to be,” Ramsay-Hamacher said.
Carter is one of those volunteers, and ad-mitted to struggling with the experiments.
“I’ve done this the past two years, and Istill can’t do the whole wheelchair part,” shesaid.
Participating in the challenges has givenher a better understanding regarding howto interact with people who have disabili-ties. If someone is in a wheelchair, Carterdoesn’t see them as incapable or as an ob-
ject of sympathy. But shewould be better aware oftheir challenges, and be in aposition to make their patheasier or remove obstaclesthey might face.
And even though theexperiments are short andeverybody knows the chal-lenges are temporary,Carter believes peopleleave with a more honestappreciation for whatother people face on a reg-ular basis.
“I’m a psychologymajor, so I learn about dif-ferent disabilities,” she said.“But actually doing it andseeing how hard it actuallyis for them, it gives you adeeper respect for them.”
Ray agrees about thebenefits of participating inthe annual challenge.
“It’s really weird,” shesaid. “But it’s really awe-some to be able toexperience something likethat because you never re-ally know what someone isgoing through until you ac-tually at least try toexperience it.”
will enjoy a bit of home-field advantage.Tommy Dellibac, a Florida resident wholives in DeLand, trains regularly at SkydiveCity. He’s also the reigning national champi-on after this year’s competition, which alsowas in Zephyrhills.
Dellibac is looking forward to competingwith the world’s best near his own back-yard.
“It’s awesome,” he said. “It’s going to benice just to be able to drive an hour and 45minutes to be there, versus having to travelto a different country in a different timezone.”
In the past, Dellibac has competed inplaces like Australia and Dubai, the latterwhich was the site of the last world champi-onships two years ago.
Athletes will compete in three separatetypes of events, measuring speed, distanceand accuracy on the course. The best willearn gold, silver or bronze in each event,and the one with the best combined scorewill earn the title of overall champion.
Dellibac, 34, has 14 years of skydiving ex-
perience and more than 15,000 jumps onhis resume. He even coaches other canopypilots and works with the military as part ofFlight-1, which provides courses to thosewho enjoy and can benefit from the sport.
For the world championships, he’s beentraining for the accuracy portion to improvehis overall game, but considers speed his fa-vorite part of the competition, andskydiving in general.
“There’s nothing like jumping out of anairplane, when you leave that plane for thefirst few seconds and you’re just free beforeyou open the canopy and just fallingthrough the air,” Dellibac said. “Riding a mo-torcycle fast, or going fast in a car, none ofthat compares.”
While the athlete’s abilities are impres-sive, their equipment also is consideredamong the best in the industry. The mainparachutes used at this event can cost near-
ly $4,000, Hayes said. After adding in the har-ness, reserve parachute and otherequipment (often custom-designed and cus-tom-built), the total cost can run more than$8,000.
But the end result is a visual demonstra-tion of skill and competition that Hayes saidwill leave spectators amazed.
“The first time they see it, they thinkthese guys are going to crash at 80 or 90mph,” he said. “They’ll see this stuff and go,‘Oh my God, I had no idea these peoplecome in so fast. How do they control thesethings? How do they do that?’”
The World Canopy PilotingChampionship is free and open to the pub-lic. Hayes suggests arriving sometime after 7a.m. each morning, and bringing a chair andhat to shield the sun.

SWOOP, from page 1A
“What we are doing is getting new busi-nesses and local businesses to sponsor ananimal,” she said. “In return, every time wepost that animal’s picture, people will seetheir involvement too.”
Those businesses also have helped to re-duce adoption fees for many families whomight want to take a dog or cat home, butbalk when they find out how much theyhave to pay in order to do it. Business dona-tions, Mulieri said, have helped reduce thosecosts to as low as $20.
“That’s neutering and spaying, immuniza-tion and microchipping all in the samepackage,” Mulieri said. “That’s the best buy intown, and it’s the only way we’re going tocut down on euthanizing.”
In 2011, less than 40 percent of the ani-mals boarded at the shelter left it alive. Butin 2012, the live release rate grew to 55 per-cent, and last year, had reached 81 percent.
The shelter’s goal is to find homes for 90percent of the dogs and cats broughtthrough its doors, Mulieri said, but it’s goingto require more work than just adoptionspecials.
“You’ll never be able to adopt them allout, and you’ll never be able to cut down onthe pet population until you change peo-ple’s ideas,” Mulieri said.
Despite animal overpopulation, manyfamilies with pets shy away from spaying orneutering, feeling their pets need to have lit-ters. A typical cat can have up to six kittensin a litter and can have three litters a year.That means one cat couple and their off-spring, according to one animal group, canresult in 420,000 more cats in seven years.
And it’s not easy to find them homes.Last year, the Pasco shelter put down 27 per-
cent of the cats it received. New shelter manager Mike Shumate real-
ized that mindset needed to change. Beforehe arrived, qualifying families who fixedtheir cat or dog could send their bill to thecounty, and be reimbursed up to $40.
“That rarely covered those costs,” Mulierisaid. “People couldn’t afford to do it, so theywouldn’t do it. And the number of animalscoming into the shelter was just getting outof control.”
Instead, the goal is to partner with localveterinarians to offer discounts that wouldmake such procedures affordable. On top ofthat, the shelter has partnered with SpayPasco with the Trap Neuter Return programthat allows for the trapping of feral cats thatare then fixed for $10, and returned to theirhabitat.
“We need to do this,” Ciesluk said. “Andwe’re going to keep working to expand iteven more.”

FRED BELLET/PHOTOCaitlin Carter has trouble keeping her tray balanced as shepicks up objects while in a wheelchair. She was a volunteerparticipating in Saint Leo University’s annual challenge expe-rience on Oct. 23, which gives able-bodied students and facul-ty an opportunity to learn about physical and learning chal-lenges first-hand.
A single cat can start a breeding chain reac-tion that could produce more than 500 morecats in just three years. Because of that, thePasco County Animal Shelter is stepping upeducational efforts and incentives for spay-ing and neutering.

Champion bald-cypress found in PascoThe Laker/Lutz News Staff Report
After careful measuring anddata confirmation with theFlorida Forest Service, the PascoCounty Environmental LandsDivision has discovered that thecounty now owns the eighth-largest bald-cypress tree inFlorida.
Located in the UpperPithlachascotee River Preserve inPasco, the bald-cypress stands128 feet tall, is 26 feet around,and has branches that spread onaverage of 25 feet.
“Foresters who harvestedmuch of Florida’s old-growth cy-press probably skipped over thistree because of a large scar, pre-sumably from a lightning strike,on its western side,” said CristinaEsposito, program coordinatorand land manager for the countylands division, in a release. “It isthe largest recorded bald-cypressin Pasco County, and now ranksas a challenger to Florida’s twoco-champion bald-cypresses,”both located near Jasper.
With the inclusion of this tree, Floridanow has the most national champion treesof any state.
The champion tree program was createdby the American Forests organization to rec-ognize the larges known tree of eachspecies in the United States. This particulartree was part of preserve land purchased bythe county using Penny for Pasco funds.
Want to see the tree in person? Take a
shady boardwalk trip at the UpperPithlachascotee River Preserve, located at17135 Minneola Drive in Spring Hill. Bewarned, however, that the main access tothe park is a privately maintained road thatmay be difficult to traverse during times ofheavy rainfall.
bald-cypress trees tend to grow in wetareas, mostly in the southeast, and areamong some of the oldest plants on Earth,reaching ages above 1,000 years.

PUBLISHER’S COLUMN
SUZANNE BEAUCHAINE/STAFF PHOTOT-Rex is the theme of The Laker/Lutz News’ community exhibit, such as this display atthe recent Pasco Hernando Hispanic Chamber of Commerce business expo at WesleyChapel Toyota.
By Diane KortusPublisher
Are newspapersthe dinosaurs of ourera, doomed to ex-tinction because ofthe Internet and so-cial media?
I’ve been askedthat question countless times as the onlineworld explodes with more news sites,postings and blogs than one can possiblyimagine.
And my answer is absolutely not — es-pecially not community newspapers likeThe Laker/Lutz News. So it’s tongue-in-cheek that we chose T-Rex as our theme topromote our papers at community events,marketing ourselves as the T-Rex of news-papers.
By now, hopefully, you realize yourpaper is much larger than its previous size.In August, we took a leap of faith and wentfrom a tabloid size, to one that is the samesize as a daily newspaper. That’s a 30 per-cent jump in page size.
To introduce our larger format to thebusiness community, we produced a funvideo that I also invite you to watch. It’s onYouTube, and you can find it attinyurl.com/LakerXLVideo.
In our video’s opening scene, you’ll seevibrating glasses of water mimicking thaticonic moment in “Jurassic Park” right be-fore T-Rex burst into the scene.
And here’s why we want you to makethe connection between T-Rex and TheLaker/Lutz News:
• To give you a visual that our papersare bigger — the T-Rex of communitynewspapers. We’re bucking the industrytrend of shrinking sizes and fewer pages.
• We’ve both been around a long time.
Dinosaurs walked the Earth for 160 mil-lion years, and our papers have been incirculation longer than any other weeklynewspaper in north suburban Tampa: TheLutz News since 1964, and The Laker since1981.
• By making T-Rex our icon, we’re de-bunking the myth head-on thatnewspapers are on a path to extinction.
The Laker/Lutz News has never been fi-nancially stronger, and we’re not alone.Community newspapers everywhere arethriving because we give people newsabout their community that they look for-ward to reading, and cannot get anywhereelse.
The Internet and social media have not,and will not, replace the relevancy of com-munity newspapers. We too have an activeFacebook page, and a growing websitewith more than 25,000 page views eachmonth. While impressive, this still does notcompare to the 64,000 people who readus each and every week.
Why is our printed product so popular?Industry research consistently reports thatpeople prefer reading stories about theirneighbors, community groups and upcom-ing events in a traditional printednewspaper they hold in their hands.
Since increasing our size, we have re-ceived overwhelming support fromreaders and advertisers. More stories in thepaper mean it is a better read, and morereaders result in more customers for ouradvertisers.
We have positioned The Laker/LutzNews to be the No. 1 source of local news,and the best way to market your businessin north Hillsborough and Pasco counties.
So, to those of you who still thinknewspapers are dinosaurs, you are wrong.
We are here to stay. Extinction is not inour vocabulary.
Are newspapers the dinosaurof our era? Absolutely not
Marijuana, Common Core gaining statewide supportBy Michael [email protected]
More often than not, elections becomeabout people: Not the ones politicians aretrying to represent, but the politicians them-selves.
The latest release from the University ofSouth Florida’s Sunshine State Survey, how-ever, is trying to shift that focus a bit back toissues, including those affecting the state asa whole.
USF’s School of Public Affairs depart-ment, under the direction of Land O’ Lakesnative Susan MacManus, worked with televi-sion audience aggregator Nielsen to ask1,875 Floridians what they thought about avariety of issues over the first two weeks ofAugust. And while many of the results wereexpected, there were a few surprises.
The biggest was whether the stateshould pass stricter gun laws. The issue ofgun control has become a Red State/BlueState debate for some time, but in Florida, 55percent of those surveyed support the ideaof making gun laws stricter, while 34 per-cent oppose tougher regulation.
On the issue of medical marijuana, 50percent support the legalization of the drug
for medicinal purposes, while 32 percentoppose it. But there was less support for le-galizing same-sex marriage, which wasmuch more split with 40 percent in sup-port, 31 percent against, and nearly just asmany with no opinion.
The most divided issue, according to thesurvey, is whether Florida should allow foroffshore drilling for oil and gas. In the sur-vey, 44 percent supported such a move,while 39 percent were against. Oil drillinggot its biggest support from men and resi-dents older than 65, while younger peoplebetween 18 and 34 were mostly opposed.
Implementing a form of Common Coreeducation standards, as developed by theNational Governors Association, has earned42 percent support and 28 percent opposi-tion. However, about a third of thosesurveyed are still undecided.
More than half of the parents surveyedwith a child in school supported CommonCore, while those with higher income and acollege degree felt it was the wrong direc-tion.
The survey sample was pulled from120,000 randomly drawn phone listings, andhas a sampling error of plus-2.2 percentagepoints.

The Sunlake Seahawks boys soc-cer team went undefeated in theirdistrict last season on their way to a29-2-1 record. And for the secondstraight year, they lost in the statesemifinals.
Having two dominating seasons ina row would be a source of great sat-isfaction for any high school. Butwhen it comes to competitive soccer,Sunlake isn’t just any school, andteam members aren’t satisfied withbowing out in the final four.
“It’s disappointing, really, to go allthat way twice and not win thechampionship,” goalkeeper DanielHrenko said. “Getting to the semifi-nals is a good accomplishment, but Ifeel like we could go farther, and weshould have gone farther.”
Teammate Connor Spenceragrees.
“I kind of look back on it as a neg-ative thing because it’s two yearswe’ve gone back to the same spot,”he said. “We’ve finally got the schoolbehind us and supporting us, andthen we just come up short everyyear.”
If players feel badly about their re-cent playoff results, that could be badnews for Sunlake’s opponents. Eventhough the season hasn’t started yet,the Seahawks are focused and work-ing on taking a serious attitude intothe beginning of the schedule as they try toget over the hump and claim a state title.
They’ll also take a familiar lineup into theseason as well. Eight out of 11 starters arereturning to the team, and Coach SamKoleduk said the team’s veteran leadershipmakes them at least as dangerous as his pre-vious teams.
“We know what it takes now,” Koleduksaid. “I think we’re just as talented, maybeeven better than last year.”
Last year’s team had plenty of talent it-self, with Remi Pimm leading the nation inscoring. Pimm’s status with the team is un-certain at this time, and Koleduk said they’repreparing to not have him this season.
But with scorers like Spencer — who al-ready has more than 90 career goals — theyexpect to be in good shape up front. Andwith solid goalkeeping from Hrenko, wholed the nation in shutouts last season, oppo-nents should be challenged to put goals onthe board once again.
Sunlake’s team also benefits greatly from
its athletes’ participation in club play,Koleduk said. While some teams might havejust a few players who participate in localclub soccer, all 26 members of his varsityteam — from starters to reserves — play atthe club level. That gives the Seahawks ahigher caliber of talent, consistent focus onthe game, and the depth to overcome in-juries as they occur during the season.
Chris Wilkinson, another offensive-mind-ed player, agrees that extensive clubexperience gives the Seahawks an advan-tage over many opponents.
“At the club level, you really know whatyou need to do,” he said. “A lot of otherschools have some kids that play (club soc-cer) and some kids that don’t, and theystruggle to gel in that sense.”
But all teams have weaknesses, andKoleduk acknowledges that defense is anarea they had to retool in the lineup. Theteam lost talented starters from last year, sothat’s something of an unknown headedinto the season. But if practice is any indica-
tor, Spencer says the defense looks readyto provide solid support while he tries toscore goals.
“From what I’ve seen from the de-fense, they’re good enough to where Idon’t need to worry about, ‘Are theygoing to mess up?’ at all,” he said. “I’m con-fident enough in them that they’re goingto do their job and they know what todo.”
Having a capable defense makesthings easier for him as a scorer, since hedoesn’t have to worry about convertingevery opportunity or be concerned thatthe opposing offense will have an easytime connecting when they have the ballin Sunlake territory.
While it looks like another strong sea-son is likely for Sunlake, it won’t be goodenough for them unless it ends with astate title.
“We need to win it all,” Koleduk said.“That’s how I look at it, but we’ll definite-ly give it our best shot for sure.”
Conner Spencer is closing in on 100 goalsfor his high school career, and he hopes thateach one gets the Seahawks closer to astate title.
MICHAEL MURILLO/STAFF PHOTOSIf teams want to get past Sunlake’s soccer team,they’ll have to first get past star goalkeeper DanielHrenko, who has a habit of shutting out opponents.

Dogs to your door with Tail WagonBy Pat MulieriSpecial to The Laker/Lutz News
Imagine this: Yougo to a mall, purchasea sweater, have yournails done, and save alife.
The Pasco CountyAnimal Shelter has anew program to getdogs that have been
abandoned — and will possibly be eutha-nized — out of the shelter, and into thecommunity. We are working to increasePasco’s live release rate.
Friends of animal services, led by Michaeland Abbey Cox, raised funds to revamp asurplus county bus into a streamlined adop-tion vehicle: The Tail Wagon.
This vehicle is equipped with stainlesssteel cages, storage units and its own air-con-ditioning unit that runs when the unit isparked. The animals are kept cool andcomfy while traveling to and sitting at theirdestination.
Each month, shelter education outreachcoordinator Andrea Ciesluk sends out a flierlisting the stops for that month. The Shops atWiregrass, local community events and busi-nesses have been some of the adoptiondestinations.
Volunteers to walk the dogs and explainadoption procedures to people at theevents are key. All dogs are neutered, mi-crochipped and immunized.
There are adoption specials, and at times,all fees are waived. Pay $10 for a county tag,you saved a life, and have a forever furryfriend.
Pasco County commissioners adopted aSave 90 initiative in 2013. Animal advocateswere concerned with the number of ani-mals coming into the shelter, and the lowlive release rate we had there. My fellowcommissioners supported a number of ini-tiatives to increase the release rate, butcommunity support is still needed.
In 2010, for example, 9,371 animals wereimpounded, and 7,140 of them were eutha-nized. The live release rate was a very low22 percent.
It takes a village to save an animal. Thecounty commissioners realized this, andwith support of the community, we beganto see positive changes. By 2012, our live re-lease rate was at 55 percent, and by 2013, itwas at 76 percent.
That said, there is more work to be done.We need community help: Visit the shelter,volunteer, foster and adopt.
Businesses can contact Andrea at [email protected] to schedule a TailWagon stop. The off-site Dog Day Out adop-tion events are great for the dogs, and helpsocialize them.
We welcome all ideas and businesses tojoin us to save a life.

Pasco Investment Land is affiliated withHayman Woods, the current developer ofConnerton. Charles Mitchell Jr. of Orlandoruns FCPG. He is the president and ownerof First Capital Property Group, according toan online profile, a company he has ownedfor a little more than 19 years.
Mitchell is one of the people involved inthe development of the property, as well asStephanie Tyrrell, a construction managerfor McDonald’s USA. It’s not clear if this willbe a franchise location, and if so, who willown it. Ed Rogers of Heidt Design will func-tion as the engineer of record, according todocuments filed with Pasco County officials.
Once opened, this would be the 11thMcDonald’s in Pasco, joining one franchisedby Brickman Management Co., down theroad at Land O’ Lakes Boulevard and StateRoad 54. This new location would be near aSunTrust Bank, Subway and a Walgreens.
A request for comment to Stew Gibbonswith Connerton earlier this month was notreturned. No timetable was released onwhen plans for the restaurant and officebuilding will move forward.

It’s nothing but positives in Septemberfor the Tampa Bay housing and condomini-um market, as both sales and median priceshave gone up.
The latest report from Florida Realtorsshows existing home sales are up 11 per-cent, and condo sales grew more than 4percent, compared to a year ago. Mediansales for the area that also includes PascoCounty also rose more than 3 percent forexisting homes, and 10 percent for condos.
In September, the Tampa Bay region sold3,441 single-family homes and 1,132 condos— second only to the greater Miami area.Statewide, existing home sales were upmore than 13 percent to 20,792, whilecondo sales climbed 2 percent to 8,622.
The median price for those single-familyhomes was $159,900 locally, compared to$180,000 statewide. Condos in the TampaBay region were $105,500, compared to$142,700 around the state.
The interest rate for a 30-year fixed-ratemortgage averaged 4.16 percent inSeptember, down from 4.49 percent a yearago, according to Freddie Mac.
SBA WANTS TO BOOST WOMEN-RUN BUSINESS
The U.S. Small Business Administrationand the National Women’s Business Councilhave joined forces in an effort to increasethe flow of money by and into small busi-nesses run by women.
The overriding goal, according to a re-lease, is to encourage greater participationby women on the financial and investingside of high-growth entrepreneurship.
Both groups will host a series of round-table discussions around the country todevelop policy recommendations. Over thepast year, woman-owned businesses wereapproved for 341 loans totaling more than$163 million, according to FranciscoMarrero of SBA’s South Florida district. That’sup over the previous year, where 317 loanswere approved for $133.8 million.
During the next few months, the work-ing groups of 20 will meet with investorand fund managers to discuss ways to in-crease the ranks of women investors, whiledeveloping strategies to encourage invest-ment in companies run by women. Theseries will culminate with the unveiling ofpolicy recommendations at an investor net-
work meeting next May.For more information about the Small
Business Investment Companies initiative,visit SBA.gov/INV.
DADE CITY RACEWAY SOLDAfter more than 15 years of corporate
ownership, RaceTrac Petroleum Inc. hassold its Dade City RaceWay location for $2.3 million.
The buyer of the station, located on a lit-tle more than an acre of land at 12310 U.S.301, is 974 Pasco LLC, managed by WestPalm Beach attorney Carolyn Sakolsky. Thelocation was built in 2004 on land RaceTracpurchased in 1999 for $263,000.
Bobby and Dorothy Baker of Zephyrhillsoriginally owned the land.
It’s not clear if the sale of the propertywill affect the location in any way. A requestfor comment last week from Atlanta-basedRaceWay was not returned.
However, there is a chance the RaceWaymight have sold to a franchisee. Accordingto the company’s website, locations ownedby corporate use the name RaceTrac, whilethose owned by franchisees are calledRaceWay.
