Trading treasures for acts ofkindness is the goal for the vendors

of the rummage sale

One man’s or woman’s treasure is another man’s discarded, at one time, his or her treasure. Much like the ever-popular phrase that has been handed down generation after generation, only with a new twist on words, cleaning up and maximizing space is still an age old tradition. With summer upon us and spring behind us all the spring cleaning that was done just a few short weeks ago is now showing up in garages, storage rooms and anywhere huge trash bags and boxes can be stored. What to do with it? It is to priceless to discard, and while you may not have any need for it any longer, someone else may.

YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER SINCE 1911

Developments with the construction progress of the new city hall, zoningregulations with regard to medicinal

marijuana facilities and fundingsources for water improvement projects

were also discussed during Monday’s meeting

The Monday city council meeting opened with approval/correction of minutes from the May 21 and May 14 meetings. On the consent items, the council voted unanimously to pull items 1, 2 and 3 for further discussion. Item 4, the Body Worn Cam-era Cooperative Purchasing Agreement took cen-ter stage as ZPD Chief Derek Brewer addressed the council. “We tested two diff erent brands, Panason-ic and Axon and we found that Axon was a bet-ter product and fi t the needs of the agency better,” Brewer said. Questions from the council ranged from how the cameras are activated and the long-term stor-age of data to the warranty on the physical cam-era. Brewer satisfi ed the concerns of the council and the council voted unanimously to approve the purchasing agreement for the Axon body cameras. The move brings ZPD in line with the Pasco Coun-ty Sheriff s Department, who implemented body cameras in 2014. A new program was discussed that merges eff orts from Home Depot, Behr Paint and Kerns Family Construction. The program amounts to what was dubbed a “Curb Appeal Project.” In the program, homesteaded homeowners fi ll out an application with the CRA. That form can then be brought to the Home Depot in Zephyrhills for a 20 percent discount on Behr paints. The CRA will then reimburse the homeowner’s approved project up to $500. A model home using the parameters of the project can be viewed at Ninth Street and Main Street. The next order of business was the Public Hearing where the second reading of Ordinance

Zephyrhills Library welcomes James Songster and ChaChing,

for a little bit of magic, during the Summer Reading Program

When you live in a special little town with a mystical breeze fl owing aimlessly about, there is no wonder that magic is attracted to the mystic little town of Zephyrhills. With all the adventure and bustling about that the century old quaint town holds, and embraces on a daily schedule, you have to

realize that eventually Magic and Mayhem Comedy Magic Show would fi nd its way to Zephyrhills. Magic and Mayhem Comedy Magic Show, a special kind of magic show that found its way to the Zephyrhills Public Library was glad to make a return visit this summer. James Songster, owner and Uber driver for Cha Ching the “Amazing Bunny,” gave an illuminating smile as he spoke, “I am so glad to be back here again. It was such a fun time for me today. I love to see the children have a good time.” The magic maker has been interested in mag-ic since he was a child and performed at the library where his aunt worked. “It just went from there. It is just something I love to do.” Songster did admit, with a silly smile, “I feel like I am an Uber driver for ChaChing. The children like to see and pet him. He goes with me wherever I go.”

Putting the puzzle together in one second was what they tried to do... and they did, with the help of Magic Maker James Songster during the reading program at the Zephyrhills Library.

ELIMINATE PAIN

Did you know…Stem cells are specialized cells found in every human being and play a key role in the body’s healing process. They have the ability to transform into any other type of cell in our body. They can become skin cells, tissue cells, muscle cells and so on, and are a proven alternative to surgery for joint replacement, sports injuries and orthopedic conditions. Stem cells have the ability to replicate substantially compared to our normal cells. As we age the number of stem cells in our body declines. WHAT IF WE COULD INJECT BRAND NEWSTEM CELLS INTO THE AREAS OF PAIN AND DEGENERATION? Imagine, the ability to heal and regenerate tissue would be signi� cant.

“WE CAN! THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE IS HERE!”Stem cell therapy redirects large concentrations of stem cells to the damaged areas of our bodies, allowing the body to heal itself naturally like it did when we were younger.

Repurpose Rummage and Yard Sale. This huge yard sale has a little diff erent meaning. The vendors’ fee will go to the restora-tion of the museum while the merchandise that vendors sell will go to either a favorite charity or possibly as a supplemental in-come for the vendor. “This was just a fun way to bring the community together and raise some much needed funds the Pioneer Florida Museum & Village,” explained Stephanie Black, executive director for the museum. Similar to most businesses during the summer months a lot of businesses slow down and to help keep everything fl ow-ing smoothly owners and those in charge have to get creative in order to bring in the necessary funds. “Just like many other area businesses, the museum foot traffi c is slower during the sum-

mer,” said Black. Floral arrangements, estate jewelry, handmade jewelry, handmade crafts, confederate gifts, clothing of all sorts and so much more could be found at the treasure trove on the hot simmering Florida day at the Pioneer Florida Museum & Village. Melissa Nosworthy, rum-maging through the rummage sale, with her daughter, Rem-ington, was well pleased with the vastness of variety and the treasures they happened onto. When asked what trea-sure she found, Remington, proudly held up her cute little white teddy bear. “It was good and we could come back,” her mother said with a satisfi ed tone.

“I love it,” Judy Macaluso, illumi-nated, while hold-ing onto the huge bag of goodies she had found, when asked how she en-joyed the rummage sale. “I have been going to yard sales for the last 30 years and I love it.” A member of both the Pioneer Florida Museum &Village and the United Daughters of the Confederate, Diane Myers said with a cheery note, “We wanted to come and be a part of the community.” With Myers were friends and members Susan Fetch, Kim Ellis and Carla Hodge. “We en-joy coming here,” Myers chatted with enthusiasm. The ladies’ proceeds will go toward veterans’ projects and the benevolent fund. A ladies morning out is what Jackie Vanlieu and Hope Mar-tin were having on the clear summer day. “This is a lot larger than I thought it would be,” Martin chatted with a gleeful smile. Her friend Jackie agreed, “They have a nice variety.” Richard and Marilynn Ory, members of the museum, came as vendors wanting to support their local historical venue. “We volunteer here and wanted to help.”

Right: Local residents rummage and browse through all the unique treasures at the first annual rummage sale.

Brooksville Ridge Girl Scout Troop 24302 successfully earned their sewing badge by creating Fidget Mats for the Alzheimer’s Family Organization. The troop visited the Alzheimer’s Family Organization and met with Kath-leen Winters, executive director. Here is where the scouts learned about Alzheimer’s Disease and how Fidget Mats may sooth the agitated fi dgeting of people with Dementia. After showing them several examples, the troop was ready to get working. The West Hernando Branch of the Hernando County Library system donated the space and provided a free introductory sew-ing lesson for the project. Linda

Gennaccaro was kind enough to provide the needed supplies to complete the project. The troop worked for three and a half hours, and with the aid of an additional fi ve hours from Gennaccaro, they were able to complete 10 fi dget mats. The troop proudly presented and donated the Fidget Mats to the Alzheimer’s Family Organi-zation on May 17. Troop leaders included, Sar-ah Shelby and Angela Brook; and the scouts that participated were, Alexa Brook, Isabel Shelby, Mad-eline Grob, Hannah Opyoke and Ami Rodriguez.

SALOME’S STARSARIES (March 21 to April 19) Count to 10 if you must, but don’t lose your temper, despite that person’s (you know who!) eff orts to goad you into reacting. Your restraint will pay off in a big way.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This week fi nds you in a sociable mood, ready and eager to en-joy the company of family and friends. It’s also a good time to seek out and renew old friendships.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Patience is called for as you await a decision about that project you’re eager to launch. Meanwhile, try to set aside more time to share with that special per-son in your life.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Avoid becom-ing involved in a workplace dispute early in the week by insisting both sides submit their stands to a neutral arbitrator. Things begin to cool off by Thursday.LEO (July 23 to August 22) It promises to be a busy but productive week for the Big Cat. The pace slows by Friday, allowing you to catch up on matters you put aside but that now need your attention.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A sud-denly disruptive family situation is best han-dled with a cool, calm and collected response. Wait until things settle to let off all that pent-up emotional steam.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your practical side dominates the week as you reas-sess your fi nances to make some sensible ad-

justments in what you plan to spend and what you expect to save.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An unexpected meeting with a former colleague opens some interesting possibilities. But you need to press for full disclosure before mak-ing a decision.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A recent fl urry of activity eases by mid-week, giving you time to readjust your dis-rupted schedule and make new plans for a weekend getaway.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You’re usually the one who gives advice. But now it’s time to open yourself up to counsel from friends who have your best interests at heart.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might fi nd resistance to your call for a full inquiry into a workplace problem. But by week’s end even the most rigid naysayers be-gin to come around. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A recurring problem surfaces once again. Maybe it’s time you used your creative talents to help you fi nd a new approach to resolving it once and for all.BORN THIS WEEK: You are guided in what you do both by your intelligence and your emotions. An acting career would suit you quite well.

Linda Cordaro, grandmother to Cayden and Keira, enjoys seeing her grandchildren par-ticipate in activities at the library. “These events are great and it keeps them busy. They like to check out the books and the movies.” With her son, Tyler Gray, just 7, Steff anie Gray made her fi rst visit to the delightful and packed full of learning and fun activities, library. “This is our fi rst time here and it is very nice.” With the community room packed to the walls, the crowd fl owed out in to the foyer with standing room only to watch the puzzle in piec-es magically being put together, ChaChing, the “Amazing Bunny,” the Crayola house and lots more fun entertainment. Darilyn Stewart, a teacher at All About Me Learning Center, explained that it was the fi rst time bringing the children from the school for one of the programs and is looking forward to bringing them again. “This was really fun for

the children,” Stewart said with such cheery en-thusiasm. As the magic maker continued entertain-ing with reading a special book about a mon-key with a blueberry beard the children could not stop laughing. Songster likes to involve the children in his show. Six-year-old, Amelia Wallace said with a big smile and lots of energy, “I liked it when he lifted up the house and the bunny was in it.” Jocelyn Knowell replied, with a brilliant smile, when asked what her favorite part of the magic show was, “The bunny. I also liked the house with all the colors.” Jocelyn’s brothers, Charles and Toby, also liked the bunny as well as the house with all the colors. Winning the gift bag packed full of fun and educational gifts was Torres Sebastian. Being a fi rst timer at the library, with her daughter, Kendall, Megan Mazzilli replied, “This is wonderful,” when asked how she en-joyed the magic show.

No. 1367-18 was conducted. The Ordinance refers to medical mari-juana dispensaries licensed by the state. In a nutshell and as point-ed out by council president Lance Smith, it basically means that the dispensaries will be zoned for op-eration in the same place as phar-macies. The ordinance was passed unanimously by the council. No public comments were made. NextupwasafirstreadingofResolution No. 750-18 which dealt withaloanpackageavailabletothecity to tackle water improvementprojects. The first three projectswere all water main extensions, theFortKingRoadExtension, theGall Boulevard Extension and theChancey Road/ CR 39 Extension.Council members questioned some oftheaggressivecompletiondatesbut Zephyrhills City ManagerSteve Spina pointed out that thewater main extensions were not projects that should take long tocomplete and that the last project was simply an acquisition. All

projects listed are part of the city’s current improvement plan. ThegoalofthestateprogramcalledtheRevolvingFundLoanProgramwasto consolidate the projects. Smith later stated that the projects would bring inadditionalusersandhelpoffset the costsof theprojectsandalso the interest rate on the loan. In theCityManager’sReport,thebanonhavingpigsaspetswasbrought to discussion. Two resi-dents of Zephyrhills that receivedcitations from Code Enforcementwerepresent.Theyhadpreviouslymade their case to the council dur-ingthelastmeetingandSmithac-knowledgedthat.Thereiscurrent-lynoprovisioninthePascoCountycode enforcement that pertains to pigsthecitydoeshaveoneonthebooks. Spina read off codes fromother cities in the country regard-ing ownership of pigs, relating totheir size, thenumberofpigsandwhether or not they were spayed or neutered. Council members were cautious as to not be too lenient but were also sympathetic to the pig owners. The city’s ordinancedates back to 1993 and discussion revolvedaroundrewritingthecodeorenforc-

ing it. Councilwoman JodiWilkeson broughtuptheideathatprospectivepigownerswouldbeabletocomebeforethecityandobtainavari-anceinordertohavethepigontheirproperty. “This way, the onus is on the homeowner tocomebeforethecouncilandgetavariance,”Wilkesonsaid. The idea took hold as it would not require the city to completely rewrite or discard the or-dinanceandthecitywouldthenbeabletoveri-fythatthepighadbeenspayedorneuteredandhadit’sshots,amongotherthings.Spinanotedthat the code would need to be rewritten to al-lowforavariance. The next item in the CityManager’s Re-port pertained to the fountain at the new city hall.Fundsoriginallyallocatedtotheconstruc-tion of the fountain were needed elsewhere and the fountain project funds dwindled to about $5,000.ThecitycontractedADMorgantobidforadesignandbuildofthefountainwithintheconceptualmodeloftheoriginaldesignbyHar-vardJolly.Thecitywasabletoreallocatefundsfromotherprojectstobringthefundsbackupto$40,000.AmotionwasmadebyWilkesontouse the funds as authorized in the memo in the City Manager’s Report and it passed unani-mously. Zephyrhills Fire Chief Brian Swartout spoke to thecouncil in favorof switching themedical director contract with the city to a doc-tor thatworks at FloridaHospital ofZephyr-hills. Swartout mentioned that there were times their current doctor was not in town and that a switch to a local doctor was preferable. A mo-tionwasmadebycouncilmanAlanKnightandit passed unanimously.
