Many people call it Halloween. Forothers, it’s a fall festival. Whatever youcall it, it’s a time for special events andthings to do in your area.

Some are a bit frightening andgeared toward adults. Others are funand feature activities for children.There might be games, treats andmaybe a few scares, but there’s some-thing for everyone.

And while Halloween is at the endof October, many events start muchsooner. You have a whole month tofind fun activities for the entire family.

Here’s a rundown of treats (notricks) happening this month:

Fall Family Festival at Saint LeoUniversity. The university, 33701State Road 52, will host a number ofactivities Oct. 9 through Oct. 11. Thereare free and low-cost athletic events,like volleyball and soccer. But the realtreats start Oct. 10 at 11 a.m., whenSaint Leo will host a free fair at TheBowl area (behind the StudentCommunity Center) with plenty offamily-oriented things to do. Childrencan enjoy an animal show, pettingzoo, water races, a swing ride andother activities. It runs until 3 p.m.

Another fun event takes place oncampus Oct. 10 at 9:30 p.m. Therewill be a fireworks grand finale at TheBowl to cap off a weekend of events.And it’s free to attend.

Technically, the last event occurs Oct. 11at 11 a.m., also at The Bowl. The universitywill host a 5K walk/run to benefit the Make-A-Wish foundation.

For more information about the race anda list of events for the Family Fall Festival,visit SaintLeo.edu/FallFamily.

Scarecrow Festival at FloridaPioneer Museum. The museum, 15602Pioneer Museum Road, hosts this scarecrow-themed event on Oct. 10 for the third yearin a row, after taking it over fromDowntown Dade City Main Street.Thousands of people attend each October,and they expect this year’s event to be nodifferent.

Crafts, community booths and food ven-dors will be on hand, but there’s a lot moreto the Scarecrow Festival than that. Likemaking scarecrows, for example. For $3,children can use hay and clothing, providedby the museum, to make a scarecrow totake home.

There will also be a Touch-a-Truck area,where children can climb on firetrucks andTECO trucks, and see police and sheriff’scars, and ambulances. A petting zoo, trainrides, face painting, obstacle course andgames with prizes are all part of the event,too.

But since this is the Scarecrow Festival,do you need more scarecrows? How abouta scarecrow costume contest? There will be

categories for best dressed scarecrow,cutest scarecrow and scariest scare-crow. So you can make one and beone at this event.

The Scarecrow Festival runs from9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Admission is $5with children younger than five yearsold admitted free. For more informa-tion, call (352) 567-0262, or visitPioneerFloridaMuseum.org.

Vision still needed for sports complexBy Kathy [email protected]

Pasco County commissioners were intro-duced to a study that recommends buildinga multi-use indoor sports complex on park-land near The Shops at Wiregrass.

But a more in-depth review between theTourism Development Council and thecommissioners will have to wait for a pub-lic workshop slated for late October or

early November.At the Sept. 22 commissioners’ meeting,

Charlie Johnson, president of Chicago-basedJohnson Consulting Co., spent a few min-utes going over the firm’s report, officiallyreleased in August.

“Economically, you’re healthy,” Johnsontold commissioners. “I think it’s (indoor facil-ity) very positive and trends are verysupportive of this.”

In addition to the indoor complex, ball

fields also would be built outdoors, but thefocus, at least initially, would be on such in-door sports as volleyball, basketball,wrestling, cheerleading and martial arts.

Johnson cited facilities in Round Rock,Texas, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, asexamples of municipalities with successfulindoor facilities.

Reachingout to helpa friendBy B.C. [email protected]

They are unlikely friends.She is 63 and he is 24.She lives in New Tampa, and he lives in

Roatan, Honduras.But Sally Hillman and William Brown-

Santos have a friendship that transcendstheir ages and backgrounds, and now,Hillman is trying to help her friend.

Hillman and her husband, Dave, metBrown-Santos about seven years ago whenthe couple was taking a shore excursion offa cruise ship at the port of Roatan,Honduras.

They had visited a park to see the mon-keys and parrots, and Brown-Santos wastheir tour guide.

Hillman felt an instant connection.“He was so pleasant, and knowledgeable

and funny,” she said.At the end of the tour, Hillman ap-

proached Brown-Santos to let him knowshe would like to stay in touch. He gave herhis contact information, but since he’s in thehabit of shortening his last name to Brown,the letter she sent didn’t reach him.

About six months later, Hillman and herhusband made the same cruise, this timetaking the trip with her son and his friend.

While there, she overheard Brown-Santos’ voice, and they reconnected. This

time, the connection stuck.They began corresponding, then texting

and sending messages via Facebook.A couple of years later, Hillman went to

Honduras again, this time with her daughter.They had the chance to spend time with

Brown-Santos’ family.All along, Hillman felt that Brown-Santos

had been put in her life for a reason.Then, on Feb. 9, she received a frantic

call from Brown-Santos’ mother.He had been driving his motorcycle at a

high rate of speed, had skirted around a carparked on a curb, and ran head-on into amotorcyclist.

At the scene, he was choking on his ownblood, until a friend intervened.

Stepping into the world of dementiaBy B.C. [email protected]

The tourists sat waiting for instructions.They filled out forms. They answered

questions. Then, they began putting on spe-cial equipment.

They put ridged plastic insoles into theirshoes.

They put on plastic gloves for protectionand a different outer glove for each hand.

Then, they stepped up a few steps into adim room, where they donned special head-phones and glasses.

Next, they were asked to perform a listof tasks.

Through the headphones they heardrecordings of chatter and continual noises.The glasses obscured their vision.

It didn’t take long to discover that the ex-periences on this “Virtual Dementia Tour”were disorienting and frustrating.

“I felt lost. I really felt lost,” Grace Walkersaid. “You can’t see, you can’t hear. You’remixed up,” said the woman who works inhousekeeping at American HouseZephyrhills, on Pretty Pond Road.

That’s understandable, said GlenScharfeld, a senior care specialist and ownerof Senior Helpers, based in Spring Hill.

His company brought a mobile VirtualDementia Tour to American HouseZephyrhills last week.

The Virtual Dementia Tour was createdby P.K. Beville, a geriatric specialist, as herpostgraduate work. It is a scientificallyproven method that builds sensitivity andawareness in individuals caring for thosewith dementia by temporarily altering par-ticipants’ physical and sensory abilities.

The tour is designed to simulate:

• Loss of auditory interpretation and in-creased confusion

• Loss of central and peripheral vision• Loss of sensory nerves and fine motor

skills• Onset of arthritis and neuropathy Beville donated the program to Second

Wind Dreams, which has provided the expe-rience worldwide.

An estimated 44.4 million people world-wide, including 5.2 million Americans, areliving with dementia, the Second WindDream’s website reports.

“The Virtual Dementia Tour is designed toemulate mid-level dementia,” Scharfeld said.

“We provide this education to the com-munity, to families, family caregivers. Thereason we’re here is that there are care-givers here who deal with dementia everyday. It’s designed to promote empathy andfor people to understand what people are

going through,” he added.The experience helps people step inside

the shoes of individuals who are living withdementia.

“We’re here to help you empathize withthem and be patient with them,” Scharfeldsaid, as he chatted with some staff membersfrom American House Zephyrhills, who hadjust completed the tour.

“We age. We get older. Our senses start todiminish. With dementia, it’s a whole differ-ent ballgame. What you’ve got to realize isthat the brain, the brain cells are depleted inthe different areas of the brain,” Scharfeldsaid.

“It takes the most recent memories, andthey’re gone.

“People don’t remember stuff that justhappened. They may remember their daugh-ter as 30 years ago.

“They may think that they’re 30 years

younger than they are. They won’t believewhen they look in the mirror. It’s like, ‘Whois that? Who is that?’ You say, ‘That’s you.’ Andthey’ll say, ‘That’s not me. That’s an old lady,”he said.

Scharfeld is a retired law enforcement of-ficer, who worked in Hillsborough County.He used to encounter people with demen-tia when responding to calls.

“I didn’t know that when I was runningcode to a burglary in progress, (it was) be-cause a lady saw herself in the slider. Shethought there’s somebody out there.

“Or, they’ll think the people on the TVare actually in the house,” Scharfeld said.

The sounds coming through the head-phones enable those on the tour toexperience the kind of confusion that peo-ple with dementia have in processinginformation.

“The person is sitting there. They’re con-fused. Some caregivers think, if I talk louder,they’re going to get it.

It’s not the hearing. It’s the processing,”Scharfeld said.

“They hear bits and fragments. That’swhy they do crazy stuff. You ask someone tosomething, and they wind up doing some-thing else,” he said. “The caregiver gets madand frustrated.”

“We’re here to promote to you, empathy,”Scharfeld said.

The Virtual Dementia Tour has spread to17 different countries, he said.

“What we did is, we took it mobile,” hesaid. “We basically have a house on wheels.We’re independently owned. This is our rig.

“I wanted to bring it to the community,”he said.

Still no answer forsky-high water billsBy Kathy [email protected]

Some residents with unexplainably highwater fees will have to wait a bit longer tolearn what, if any, adjustments will be madeon their bills.

Pasco County commissioners first mustdecide how to amend existing rules regard-ing how the county issues credited refundsin cases involving a sudden spike in waterusage that defies explanation.

The county’s water department has rec-ommended that customers inthese cases would receive cred-its of as much as 50 percent, as aone-time only adjustment.

But, some commissionerswanted to slash bills even moreafter hearing from upset cus-tomers at their Sept. 22 meeting.

Pasco County CommissionerMike Wells was ready to “zeroout” at least one customer’s billfor more than $3,300. “We havean opportunity to do it right.”

However, Pasco CountyAttorney Jeffery Steinsnyder re-minded commissioners that thecounty is banned from giving away thewater it buys from Tampa Bay WaterAuthority.

Chairman Ted Schrader said the rulesshould be changed for all before granting re-lief in any one case. “You’re askingratepayers to subsidize their bills,” he said.

Pasco County Commissioner JackMariano said the water department’s planfell short.

“I’d like to see them brought down towhat a normal bill would be,” Mariano said.

In the next weeks, county officials planto set a public hearing for adopting a re-vised ordinance.

An audit by the county’s inspector gener-al’s office recently reviewed more than 300cases where customers were billed for high-er than average water usages. They couldqualify for refunds in cases of billing errorsor leaks. But the county’s rules don’t coverthe rare situations where the high waterusage is a mystery.

Louise Gritmon, who received that billfor more than $3,300, would be satisfiedwith paying her usual amount of around$40 a month.

Under the water department’s recom-mendation, her bill would only be cut to

about $1,600.“I’m going to keep fighting this,”

Gritmon said.Ramona Nelson also challenged her bill

for more than $562. Her monthly bills alsorun about $40, or slightly higher.

Nelson said there were no broken pipesor leaks, and no repairs needed at herhome. “I want my money back,” Nelsonsaid.

She has gotten a partial credit from thecounty, but still owes more than $360.

The county billed Gritmon and her hus-band in July 2014 for using614,000 gallons of water over 18days when their house was va-cant.

Gritmon maintains no leakswere found, and engineers havetold her it is impossible for thatmuch water to flow through herwater meter in that time frame.It would be the equivalent ofconsuming about 5 million plas-tic bottles of water, Gritmon toldcommissioners.

“I don’t disagree that it’smind-boggling,” said PascoCounty Utilities Director Bruce

Kennedy after the commissioners’ meeting.But, he added, “I don’t know that there wereany mistakes.”

He pointed to the audit’s findings thatthe county’s water meters were tested andfound accurate. Kennedy also said he hadto apply existing rules in determining re-funds.

It was Gritmon’s complaint last year thatprompted the eight-month audit.

While the audit found the metersworked properly, the report also found defi-ciencies in the county’s meter reading andbilling procedures. There also were prob-lems with software for a new automatedsystem, inaccessible meters and inconsistentreadings.

The audit looked at water bills issued be-tween June 1, 2014, and April 15, 2015. Of337 accounts reviewed by the county, 317,including Gritmon’s and Nelson’s, had fromone to six bills that exceeded 120 percentof the annual average charge.

Following the commissioners’ meeting,Kennedy walked over to Gritmon and of-fered an apology for the drawn-out process.

Gritmon said she appreciated the ges-ture.

“Better late than never.”

Brown-Santos’ injuries are severe.He still can’t move his right arm and can

barely move the first three fingers in hisright hand. He lives with excruciating pain.

Hillman felt compelled to help.She reached out to Dr. Michael Craven, a

long-time chiropractor in Land O’ Lakes,where she used to live and who had treatedher in the past.

She said she knew Craven to be a goodman.

Craven said she talked to his wife andasked her if he would help, as a humanitari-an, Christian gesture.

Craven agreed to help.“When you see something in the com-

munity that touches your heart, and youhave the opportunity to reach out and do

something about it, that’s pretty much whywe got involved,” Craven said.

So, Hillman set out to bring Brown-Santos to the United States.

That turned out to be much more com-plicated than expected. It took six monthsfor Brown-Santos to get a visa.

He arrived on Aug. 18.The next day, they went to see Craven.After examining Brown-Santos, the chiro-

practor knew that there wasn’t a simpletreatment plan for the injuries.

“It was just discouraging from that mo-ment,” Hillman said.

Craven ordered an MRI from RoseRadiology, who discounted the rate for thecase, and Craven picked up the rest of theexpense, Hillman said.

They got the MRI results. The result was atorn labrum. It’s called a SLAP lesion, whichstands for superior labrum, anterior, posterior.

Next, they went to Florida HospitalWesley Chapel.

“I told them the whole story,” Hillmansaid.

They examined Brown-Santos and con-sulted with the orthopedic surgeon on call.

Hillman and Brown-Santos did a follow-upappointment with the orthopedic surgeon.

“He’s fearful that this is permanent. He’sreferred us to a neurologist,Hillman said.

That news hit her hard.“I’m crying in the doctor’s office,”

Hillman said. “I didn’t walk away with an op-timistic view. That’s why I cried.”

The appointment with the neurologist,which was Sept. 25, involved another test tofind out the extent of the damage.

“That will help to determine how severethe injuries are, and what possible stepscould be taken,” Hillman said.

If surgery is required, Craven hopes anorthopedic surgeon will step forward to vol-unteer to handle the case. He doesn’t thinka Go Fund Me account will raise a sufficientamount to cover those costs.Brown-Santos is grateful for the help he’s re-ceived so far, and he’s prepared to face anyoutcome.

“It’s a blessing. It’s the first time in lifesomebody tried to do something nice forme,” Brown-Santos said.

“If I can get better, I’ll be the happiestman in the world. If not, that’s God’s plan,and I just have to live with that. I really trulybelieve in God. So, I’m just going to keeppraying and have faith that everything canwork for the good.

“If he doesn’t heal me, it doesn’t meanhe doesn’t love me.

“I’m going to just leave it in God’shands,” Brown-Santos said.

acres near the Wiregrass mall in 2012 with astipulation that if a sports complex didn’t hap-pen, then a park would be developed.

But, just what to put on the land haseluded the county ever since.

Last year, a proposal from Pasco SportsLLC, a partnership between James Taltonand former major league baseball player

Gary Sheffield, fell apart over financial is-sues. The project would have included ayouth baseball camp, with 20 ball fields andon-site dormitories.

The feasibility study, however, dismissesbaseball as a good option.

“This site is very attractive. The market isrobust enough to support some type of facili-ty.” Johnson said. “But, baseball and soccer arereally quite built-out throughout the state.”

The study suggests that Pasco would be

competing, for instance, with a $27 millioncomplex proposed in Seminole County. Thecomplex would include 15 ball fields forbaseball, softball, soccer and lacrosse.

Within the past week, a proposal to build anAtlanta Braves training facility in St. Petersburghas emerged. The project also would include ayouth baseball component. The Gary SheffieldSports Foundation is one of the partners in theproject with the Atlanta Braves.

Some commissioners have suggested

that the Porter family has concerns aboutthe feasibility study.

“I think there is going to be some nega-tive feelings on this by the Porters,” saidPasco County Commissioner Jack Mariano.

Scream-A-Geddon. This one isn’t forthe faint of heart. While many eventshave a little spookiness wrapped up in fami-

ly fun, this is an all-out fright fest. Located at27839 Saint Joe Road in Dade City, the at-tractions have names like “Cursed Hayride,”“Dead Woods” and “Infected.” The goal is to

be as ghoulish and scary as possible. But wait; there’s more. Like most haunted

attractions, the actors don’t actually touchyou. But if you participate in “Pandemic” and

choose the interactive portion, it’s a differ-ent story. You might actually be grabbed andsent into a cell. That option takes things be-yond the level of established attractions like“Howl-O-Scream” at Busch Gardens or“Halloween Horror Nights” and UniversalStudios in Orlando.

You don’t have to choose that route, ofcourse. You can decide to simply observe,which means you’re hands-off to the mon-sters inside. But, it’s still a scary event withfive separate haunted attractions.

And that doesn’t count the MonsterMidway, which includes games, food, beer,fire pits and tarot card readings. This isHalloween fun for people who like to bescared. But just in case, each attraction hasemergency exits if things get a little too in-tense.

This might be the scariest event in thearea, so they’re expecting big crowds. Enterat your own risk.

Scream-A-Geddon is open Thursdaysthrough Sundays until Nov. 1. The costranges from $34.95 to $51.95 if you pur-chase online, depending on when you go.Tickets cost an additional $5 at the gate.Parking is $10, and fast passes, which allowyou to spend less time in line, are availableat an extra cost.

The volleyball season hasalready started for Pasco-Hernando State College,but coach Kim Whitney has-n’t attended their games. Shedoesn’t go to practice, either.

She hasn’t abandoned herteam. She’s just been a littlebusy.

Whitney gave birth to herson, Francis, on Aug. 26.

She hasn’t completely dis-appeared, though. Thatwould be tough for Whitney,who’s built a perennial re-gional contender over thepast decade. During hertenure, the Lady Quistas haveconsistency qualified fortheir regional tournament forDistrict P, which requires a.500 record or better overthe course of the regular sea-son. During that time, they’vealso qualified for five NJCAAnational tournaments, andtook home the Division II na-tional championship in 2010.

So while she’s caring forher son, she’s still keeping aclose eye on her squad.

“I’ve been working from home andkeeping in communication with the team,and with Brian,” Whitney said.

“Brian” is assistant coach Brian Kachurak,who’s been on the volleyball staff for sever-al years. He knows Whitney’s coachingphilosophy and is able to communicate herexpectations to the team until she returnsin early October.

Whitney has full confidence inKachurak, and said she knows the team is ingood hands.

They’ll need strong guidance as they

navigate the early part of their schedule. TheLady Quistas were 8-6 after 14 matches,enough to qualify for their regional tourna-ment by a small margin. But, Whitney isn’tconcerned. She’s not even surprised, sinceshe purposely scheduled difficult oppo-nents to open the season.

The Lady Quistas have already faced na-tionally ranked opponents, had close lossesagainst Division I competition, such asHillsborough Community College, and de-feated regular regional finalists CatawbaValley Community College.

The team has won some and lost some,

but it is testing itself early and proving it cancompete against elevated talent on thecourt, Whitney said.

That’s exactly what she wanted to seefrom her team.

“They’re all really good competition forus. It helps us to continue to grow, but itchallenges us. We don’t want to be playingteams that are easy run-throughs, and thenwe get to qualifying (matches for the nation-al tournament) and we’re shocked at thelevel of play,” she said. “It’s going to help usin the long run.”

It will also help the team learn how to

work together while under adversity.Frequent turnover is expected at a two-yearcollege, but Whitney’s team returns just sixplayers, and only half of those were starters.They’re playing with nine incoming fresh-men and a couple of transfers, and everyoneis learning how to maximize their effective-ness in the system.

The coach is happy with what she’sseen, even if she’s seeing it from afar. She’swatching film, staying in touch with her as-sistant coach and captains, and monitoringthe team’s progress. If it can limit mistakes,Whitney believes she’ll return to a team thatcan repeat the success of last year’s nationaltournament-qualifying squad.

“You’ve got to work through theprocesses and different things that chal-lenge a team,” Whitney said. “I think they’regoing to be great.”

SCORES & SCHEDULE

The Sunlake Seahawks and Land O’Lakes Gators both have talented footballteams. But one is simply better right now.

That team is Sunlake, as evidenced by a34-0 victory over Land O’ Lakes on Sept.18. The game was tight in the first half,with just a 7-0 edge for Sunlake at halftime.But the game got away from the Gators,who fell to 2-2 and 0-1 in 6A-6 district play.

The home victory upped Sunlake’srecord to 4-0, and gave the team its firstwin in district play.

Both teams have plenty of districtgames left to determine who moves on tothe playoffs. Sunlake begins a three-gamestretch of district play on Oct. 2, whileLand O’ Lakes has three district games ina row starting Oct. 16.

Gary Lasasso, left, a museum employee, tells Terry Plog, a visitor from Arkansas, about thefeatures of this 1922 Milburn Electric car.

As visitors approach The Tampa Bay Auto Museum, they may wonder what awaits theminside. Once they walk in, they’ll find a collection of vehicles that, beyond being visuallyappealing, also help tell the story of automobile design.

It’s not located on a busy thor-oughfare, but people who enjoyexotic cars, or who have a pen-chant for innovation, will findmuch to enjoy at the Tampa BayAutomobile Museum.

This is a place where history comes tolife through vehicles.

The museum houses the private collec-tion of Alain Cerf, owner of Polypack, abusiness located next door.

Polypack, which began outside of Paris, isa manufacturer of automatic packaging ma-chinery.

Cerf opened the museum on March 19,2005, to share his unique collection withthe general public.

“The founder of the business was bornand raised in France and actually began thebusiness in France, had a factory just outsideof Paris,” said John Perodeau, a museum em-ployee.

“They started doing work in the UnitedStates and in the mid-1970s, he moved hisbusiness and his family from Paris, France, toPinellas Park, Florida.

“When they moved, they brought notonly the business and the family, but theybrought what were then the family cars.

“The first three cars in here, and then acouple of more that are in the back, are thecars that came with them across theAtlantic.

“The rest of the cars in the collectionhave been selected because they displaysome sort of innovative engineering or tech-nology, something that was new, differentand pioneering for its time,” Perodeau said.

“We’re not a typical classic car museum.We don’t have Duesenbergs and Packardsand Pierce-Arrows. They’re very nice cars,but their engineering was conventional, andwe focus on the unconventional.

“We focus on engineering innovations inautomobiles,” Perodeau added.

Something else that’s unusual?The cars in this museum sometimes can

be seen tooling down the road.“They all have Florida license plates.

They’re registered and insured. They mayget taken home at the end of the day afterwork. They go out on weekends. They go toparades and car shows. They don’t just sithere in the museum,” Perodeau said.

The collection has a total of 63 cars.Visitors are free to get close to them and

take as many photos as they want.They are asked not to touch the cars, but

if they’d like to look under the hood or in-side the car, they can ask the museum staffto give them that closer look.

Staff members are knowledgeable aboutthe history of automobiles and new devel-opments.

Perodeau and Gary Lasasso, another mu-seum staffer, welcome queries.

“If you have a question on any of thecars, one of us will get you an answer,”Perodeau said.

During a recent visit, Lasasso pointed outinnovations of various vehicles, talked aboutthe people who designed and manufacturedthem, and offered historical context, too.

The 12,000-square-foot gallery space in-cludes examples of some of the finest earlyapproaches to aerodynamic shapes andpackaging, front wheel drive, unibody con-struction, and pioneering uses of materialssuch as cast aluminum and pressed steel.

The innovation of engineers such as PaulJaray (the designer of the Zeppelin airships),Gabriel Voisin (aircraft from World War I andbeyond), Edmund Rumpler (aircraft fromWorld War I and beyond) and Jean AlbertGregoire (Tracta front wheel drive) are pres-ent in automobiles throughout thecollection.

There are also examples that celebratethe work of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, HansLedwinka and others.

Lasasso is a huge fan of Gregoire.In fact, he admires Gregoire’s innovations

Designed by the young Jacques Gerin, the 1925 Gerin Aerodyne is a prototype mid-engined saloon car which marked a significant departurefrom other vehicles of its day.
