Tiny dog’s barking saves family from fire Sadly, Peanut, the dog, doesn’t survive By Diane Kortus [email protected] Peanut, a tiny black Chihuahua, saved the lives of three generations of a Lutz fami- ly on June 3, when his insistent barking awakened family members at 3 a.m., alert- ing them to a fire in the rear of their home. Peanut’s barking from her crate awak- ened Jeff DeRolf and his 26-year-old daughter, Maria, who together started down the stairs to see why the dog was barking. “When I was about halfway down the stairs, I heard my mother scream at the top of her lungs,” said Maria.“Our French doors leading to our back patio were engulfed in flames.” Those screams woke up the rest of the family — Maria’s 22-year-old brother, Jeff, her 7-year-old daughter, Michelle, and a friend of Jeff’s who was spending the night. They all were able to get to the front of the house and get out safely. Sadly, Peanut did not sur- vive. “My dad and brother start- ed back into the house to get Peanut, but by then the smoke was thick and was pouring out of the house,” Maria said.“My brother actual- ly had to hold my dad back to stop him from going back in.” Peanut, just 6 pounds and still a puppy at a year-and-a-half, was technically her daughter’s dog, Maria said.“But, everyone loved Peanut. Her barking saved all of our lives — she is our hero.” The family escaped from the house with just the clothes on their backs. “We were able to retrieve my grandfa- ther’s ashes and a few pieces of clothing, but that was all,” Maria said.

The Lutz Cemetery has been a landmarkin the community for a century, but it oftengoes unnoticed.

There’s a group of dedicated volunteers,with the nonprofit Lutz CemeteryAssociation, who want to make sure that thegrave sites within the cemetery off U.S. 41are not neglected.

Donations help pay for upkeep, includingmowing grass and maintaining gravesites.

Many burial plots over the years weresold without perpetual care plans, accordingto Kathy Vanater, secretary/treasurer of theassociation.

The group raises money to help maintainthe cemetery. It will have a booth at the an-nual Fourth of July festivities in Lutz, butdonations are welcome any time, Vanatersaid.

About 1,600 people are buried at theLutz Cemetery, including members of promi-nent families, past and present.

Among them are Fred Polen, a teacher atMyrtle School, and later a mail carrier;Herbert Vernon, owner of Vernon & Land

Co.; and, three generations of the Goheenfamily.

It is also the final resting place of OscarCooler, a champion of Lutz youth sports; andCarolyn Meeker, former president of the LutzCivic Association.

The hallowed ground is a legacy donatedto Lutz residents by C.E. Thomas, who waspresident of the North Tampa LandCompany in the early 20th century.

A group of Chicago investors boughtabout 32,000 acres, north of the city ofTampa. They sold vacant lots to some of theearly settlers of Lutz, and made an offer thatanyone who bought 10 acres could have afree lot in town or a burial plot in the ceme-tery.

For many years after its founding, Lutzresidents would gather once or twice a yearto clean up the cemetery. However, thatpractice ended long ago. In the 1950s, thenonprofit association stepped in to fill thegap.

For information or to make a donation,people can stop by the association’s boothon July 4. Or, donations can be mailed toLutz Cemetery Association, P. O. Box 1353,Lutz, FL 33548.

Andre Pamplona is relatively new to thearea, having moved to Lutz from Miami justlast June.

But, that didn’t stop the general managerof Royal Lanes Bowling from jumping intothe race to become Lutz Guv’na.

Pamplona was first encouraged to run bySuzin Carr, who serves as ambassador forthe annual race for the honorary title. Carr isthe only one who has been named Guv’natwice in the Lutz charity event.

For Pamplona, it was a “no-brainer” tothrow his name into the hat, and “help thecommunity” through fundraising.

Having a storefront property in Lutz hasmade fundraising efforts relatively seamless.

“One of the things we already do a lothere at Royal Lanes is try to make a venuefor nonprofit organizations to raise funds ina very inexpensive way,” Pamplona said. “Wetry to gear it to as many different groups aswe can,” he said.

“It’s one of those things where the com-munity is aware of (the Guv’na Race)because it’s been around for so many years,so it wasn’t really something I had to pitchtoo hard,” he added.

As one of just two Guv’na candidates,Pamplona has also been able to make sever-al newfound personal connections whileacclimating himself to his new surroundingsin West Central Florida.

“Everyone’s been very receptive,” hesaid. “I was able to meet a lot of people inthe community that otherwise would havejust been patrons of mine, but they don’tsee me face-to-face and you don’t get to say‘Hi’ all the time. So, you’re able to meet dif-ferent people in the community.”

Pamplona has already raised “quite a bitof money” through a few fundraising eventsat the bowling alley. He’s also received somedonations from bowlers at Royal Lanes.

Not big contributions, mind you.“It’s been nickels and quarters at a time,”

he said.Whether he wins this year or not,

Pamplona said he’d “definitely” consider get-ting involved in Guv’na festivities again.

“Because I have the (bowling alley), itmakes no sense for me not to do it every

year,” he said.“Even if I don’t run, I’ll maybe get behind

a candidate to hold events here at RoyalLanes; a lot of people that ran in the pastdidn’t have a storefront or a brick-and-mor-tar, so it was hard for them to raise funds.”

One aspect of the Guv’na Race thatPamplona won’t soon forget is his participa-tion in last month’s amusing Lutz Guv’naDebate at the Old Lutz School, where hesquared off against fellow Guv’na candidateGreg Gilbert, of Beef O’ Brady’s, in a mostlytongue-in-cheek event. That’s wherePamplona unveiled his campaign slogan:“Raising the education of bowling.”

“It was a lot of fun,” he said about the de-bate. “The good thing about it was instead ofbeing a serious or tense thing, we came upwith a lot funny answers here and there; thewatermelon-eating contest was the bestpart.”

The Guv’na race continues through theFourth of July weekend, where the winneris announced, and earns the coveted “sash”from the prior year’s winner. Last year’s win-ner was Jennifer Rankin, who raised morethan $9,200 throughout the 2015 race.

The annual charity event— which start-ed in 1991— is sponsored by the Lutz CivicAssociation, and benefits about 20 localcauses, including the Boy Scouts and GirlScouts, the Old Lutz School and the Friendsof the Library.

The winner of the Guv’na Race may alsoearmark 10 percent of what they raise tothe organization of their choice.

If you’d like to contribute to Pamplona’scampaign, call (813) 949-3606.

Along, long time ago, in a coun-try far, far away, a newpresident’s secretary of statepresented her Russian counter-

part with what clever minds at FoggyBottom must have imagined was simple ge-nius: a “reset” button, symbolizing theObama administration’s desire for a freshstart between our nations.

We’ve seen how that worked out.Anyone seeking an enduring USA-Russia

reset needs to program his GPS for a low-slung block house off 20 Mile Level Road inLand O’ Lakes. There, amid the managedchaos and loving clutter of a makeshift fami-ly, is the nerve center of a genuineinternational coming-together.

Four boys from St. Petersburg, Russia,have spent their coming-of-age school yearshere under the guidance of transplantedHoosier Eric Wilson. And, they enjoyed value-added assistance from the village networkthat is nearby Academy at the Lakes, the lads’welcoming school.

The quartet — Gleb Barkovskiy, Maximand Tioma Stepanets and Daniil Shcherbinin— has shrunk, through graduation, to a duoof Tioma and Daniil. By late August, thehousehold will shrink again to Wilson andTioma, plus languid Sam, the rescue coon-hound mix. By then, Daniil, 18, will havebeen dispatched to Springfield, Ohio, andWittenberg University.

How are the other alumni doing?Barkovskiy, the son of a former Soviet nu-

clear submarine captain and a rising senior atBucknell, is interning at Goldman Sachs. Max

Stepanets is a rising sophomore at AlmaCollege in Michigan, where he’s a member ofthe football team and majoring in business.

As for Shcherbinin (“Sher-ben-in,” but forsimplicity’s sake, hereafter Daniil), he antici-pates a summer of unofficial occupations.Here on a restrictive student visa, this perfectprospect for stocking the top shelves atPublix — he’s 6 feet 5 — ruefully concedeshe can’t collect “a regular paycheck,” but heneeds to save for college expenses.

So he’ll mow lawns, paint houses, helpout with the household’s pooch-sitting oper-ation, “move really heavy furniture” and dowhatever other honest odd jobs come hisway. After all, if he’d wanted to be idle andtempted into troublemaking, he could havestayed in Russia.

That depressing prospect is the futureKaterina Ilina, a real estate agent in a perpet-ually tough market, was hoping her only

child could avoid when she presented himnearly 10 years ago for evaluation by an asso-ciate of the Renaissance Project.

The plan was to identify promising St.Petersburg boys and invite them to attend aposh private school in Boca Raton, wherethey would be groomed to become citizenambassadors for America back home.

Alas, the original plan soon collapsed. Bythen, however, Wilson wasn’t just on board,he’d become a passionate believer and theboys’ best advocate. Long story short, hefound a like-minded administrator atAcademy at the Lakes, and through a combi-nation of scholarships, fundraising schemes,donations, a generous landlord, philanthropicmedical professionals and stretching Wilson’steacher’s paycheck, they’ve made it work.(Read more about their efforts here:http://renproject.org.)

It hasn’t hurt that each of the Russianshas been an exemplary student and — asmuch as any teenager is capable — a modelcitizen. Daniil captained the football and bas-ketball teams, served as student body vicepresident and played Mr. Darling in theschool’s springtime production of “PeterPan” — notably, without attempting a Britishaccent.

The amateur thespian explains: “When Itry to do an English accent, my Russian reallycomes out.” (Not that he hasn’t waxed the

Volga boatman when it might charm anAmerican girl, or get him out of a tight spotwith a teacher, he concedes.)

Otherwise, looking for highlights in aneventful senior year, two stand out: First, theMarch afternoon he learned he’d been ac-cepted, with generous underwriting, atWittenberg. Second, the recent two weekshe spent here, with his mom, duringKatarina’s first visit to America.

What did she learn? Americans are un-commonly welcoming to newcomers.“Everyone is so friendly,” she says. “Everyonewants to hug.” Maybe, she says, it’s theresidue from Stalin, an era of suspicion, butRussians are rarely so open to strangers.

Experiencing it for herself, Katarina cameto appreciate how this kid from a factory dis-trict —where V.I. Lenin once lectured oncommunism — had become upbeat andopen-hearted, phonetically, “dobriy” inRussian. What a contrast to his somber, pes-simistic peers back home.

Here she saw real evidence of that elusivereset. And, for those back home who frettheir countryman has gone native, not toworry. When he’s not fetching and lifting thissummer, Daniil will be immersed in Russianliterature, Mikhail Bulgakov’s fantasy parable,“The Master and Margarita.”

“I am proud to be Russian,” he says flatly.“I never want to lose that.” Neither does any-one else in the Renaissance Project. They likehim just the way he’s turned out.

And, so this happened. On the day of theopen house on 20 Mile Level Road, whenteachers and friends came to celebrateDaniil’s graduation, they brought presents forhim, and for Katarina.

Gifts for the graduate Katarina under-stood. But for her? Why? “We brought yougifts,” explained one of the moms, her eyesshining, “because you shared your gift —your only son — with us.”

They hugged and wept happy tears.Because that’s what moms, wherever they’refrom, do.

It’s from such embraces, real, lasting resetsemerge.

• Ice Cream: This treat, whichcontains milk, cream, sugar and eggyolk, has 137 calories (only 100, if half-fat), 16 grams of carbohydrates, 14grams of sugar and 7 grams of fat foreach scoop (half-cup).

• Sherbet: This treat, which con-tains fruit juice, milk/cream, eggwhite/gelatin, has 107 calories, 22grams of carbohydrates, 18 grams ofsugar and 1 gram of fat for each scoop(half-cup). This treat is similar to a sor-bet but contains milk/cream.

PREVENT HEAT-RELATED CAR DEATHS

Each year in the United States, an averageof 38 children and hundreds of dogs diefrom hyperthermia (heatstroke) in hot cars.

At 70 degrees on a sunny day, a car canreach 100 degrees within 15 minutes. Bodytemperatures for children and dogs rise threeto five times faster than an adult’s, and braindamage can occur in a matter of minutes.

Reduce the risk through A.C.T.:• AVOID heatstroke-related injury and

death by never leaving your child alone inthe car, not even for a minute. Be sure tokeep your car locked when you are not in it,so kids don’t climb in on their own.

41,000 LBS.Lost In 10 Years!

In the 10 years that Gerri Willetand her family have owned Medi-Weightloss in Lutz, they have assist-ed several thousand patients loseapproximately 41,000 pounds.

“It is very rewarding knowingwe’ve helped so many peoplebecome healthier,” said Gerri.“Although everyone wants to loseweight to look better, we believe themost important aspects are improv-ing our patients’ health and addingyears to their life.”

This month, Gerri and her staff ofhealth care professionals are cele-brating the clinic’s 10th anniversary,including an open house hosted bythe Wesley Chapel and CentralPasco chambers of commerce.

“In addition to celebrating withthe business community, we areinviting the public to stop by andtour our facility,” said Gerri. “Wegenuinely want people to see ourclean, comfortable offices, meet ourstaff and learn about a weight lossprogram that really works.”

Visitors don’t need to worryabout being pressured.

“We know people are most suc-cessful at losing weight when theydecide it’s time to take action,” saidGerri. “We just want to educatefolks, so when they are ready to loseweight, they know we’re in theirneighborhood.”

Medi-Weightloss is located onS.R. 54 at Oak Grove Boulevard,just east of the Ferman Auto dealer-ship. It has been at this location forall 10 years because it is convenientto people living in Lutz, Land O’

Lakes and Wesley Chapel.“Our location may be the same,

but not our program,” said Gerri. “Inthe past 10 years, there have beenmany, many positive changes andadditions because of all the researchour company conducts,” said Gerri.These include:• Pharmaceutical-grade supplements• Informative tip sheets and easy-to-use food calendar• Full-time nutritionist • Low-calorie, healthy recipes• High-quality, prepacked foods, including nutrition bars, shakes, soups, meal replacements and sugar-free candies• Interactive website with a patient portal• Inexpensive exercise equipment that’s easy to use at home and work

The one constant at Medi-Weightloss is its physician-super-vised program. Because weight lossimpacts every aspect on a person’sbody, Medi-Weightloss has alwaysemployed physicians to work withpatients.

“We have a medical doctor onsite most days, and patients can con-sult with a doctor anytime theywant,” said Gerri. “This is whattruly sets us apart from other weightloss clinics.”

A typical patient at Medi-Weightloss loses 35 pounds, Gerrisaid. “And, because your lifespanincreases by one-and-a-half yearsfor every 10 pounds you lose, mostof our patients will live an additionalfive years!”

About 20 people waited under an intensesun, as Higgenbotham kicked off the auction.Only two people bid on the real estate, andtheir offers climbed no higher than $445,000for one parcel. Bidding started at $400,000.

“We sell mobile homes for $400,000. Areyou kidding me?” Higgenbotham said.

Total acreage is about seven acres, withfrontage on U.S. 41 and lake frontage to therear of the site. The parcels, of 2.1 acres and4.7 acres, could be purchased separately ortogether.

The property includes the nursery, giftshop and warehouse. Inventory included

bonsai, bamboo plants, koi fish, jewelry, nurs-ery supplies and other gift items.

Local gardeners often came to Eve’s forbonsai and other plants and gifts. But, thevast majority of Lynn’s business has been onthe wholesale side, nationwide, to gift shops,nurseries and brand name stores, such asWalgreen’s and Publix. Her bonsai nursery isone of the largest in the nation.

While the real estate didn’t sell, someplants and other inventory from Eve’sGarden and gift shop did sell.

San Antonio resident Frank Corradini andhis sister-in-law, Susan Barreto, bid on severalbonsai plants. Corradini has created his ownbonsai for about 40 years.

He admired Lynn’s specimens.“These are just so nice,” he said. “I want to

A Go Fund Me Account under theDeRolf name has been established for thefamily to help with expenses not coveredby insurance. As of June 13, more than$4,700 had been raised.

“The amount of love and support com-ing our way is amazing. Thank you toeveryone who has donated. Whether it bemoney or physical items, we thank youfrom the bottom of our hearts,” Maria said.

The DeRolf family wants people toknow the house had working smoke detec-tors.

“The fire started in the back of thehouse and the smoke detectors were moretowards the front, so the dog woke us upbefore the smoke detectors went off,” Mariaexplained.

The family’s homeowner’s insurance ispaying for temporary housing at theMarriott Residence Inn in Telecom Parkuntil a rental home can be leased.

Maria said the home is a total loss, and

insurance company says it will be at least ayear until their home is rebuilt.

Maria said the cause of the fire has notbeen found, and the fire marshal has begunan investigation.

In addition to suffering the loss of hishome, Jeff DeRolf is currently undergoingchemotherapy at Moffitt Cancer Center forHodgkin’s lymphoma. Maria said her fa-ther’s cancer was first diagnosed in 2008,and occurred again just six months ago.

The family gathered the day after the fireto bury Peanut — the little dog that savedthem all — in their backyard, next to Duke,a German Shepard they had before Peanut.

“When the firefighters retrieved Peanut’sbody, her body was not burned, and weknow she died of smoke inhalation,” saidMaria. “We were thankful for that.”

Justin Dargahi has a penchant for knock-ing down 3-point shots.

So much so that he holds the GuinnessWorld Record for the most 3s made fromNBA range (23 feet, 9 inches) in one minute.

Firing three after three inside the Land O’Lakes High School gymnasium, Dargahiknocked down 26 treys in 60 seconds onJan. 4, breaking the previous set mark of 25.His feat became an official Guinness WorldRecord in early May.

“I’ve always been the best shooter on myteam in school,” said Dargahi, the head JV(Junior Varsity) coach for the Land O’ Lakesgirls basketball team and former basketballplayer at Cambridge Christian School.“Shooting was always easy to me.”

The skill comes so easily for Dargahi thathe claims he makes anywhere from 75 per-cent to 80 percent of 3-pointers he attemptswhen he’s “just shooting around for fun.”

He figures he can make about 95 percentof his free throw attempts, too.

“Anytime I was on a (school) team, Iwould always be the technical free-throwshooter,” said Dargahi, who began playing or-ganized hoops at 11 years old. “I had a greenlight to shoot 3s most of the time. It was al-ways like, ‘If we need a three, let’s get(Dargahi) the ball or set a screen for him.’

“In games, I would show off sometimesshooting 10 feet behind the (3-point) line,”he said.

Out of curiosity, the JV coach decided tolook into some of the timed 3-point records afew years ago. When he saw some of therecord totals, he realized he might have a de-cent chance at knocking down some ofthem.

“When I saw that record of 25, I was like,‘I could get that,’” Dargahi said, with an air ofconfidence in his voice.

On his first attempt at the record, henailed 18 shots.

While impressive for most, Dargahi knewhe could shoot at a much higher clip.

“I had a lot of bad luck; I had one of myfriends helping me, and we weren’t clicking,”Dargahi said. “It just wasn’t scripted toowell.”

To better organize a record-breaking strat-egy, Dargahi reckoned his best chance was toenlist the help of some of his JV roster atLand O’ Lakes.

About eight or nine of his players aidedDargahi by fetching loose balls and rapidlyhanding them to him at the top of the three-point arc as he continually fired from deeprange.

The strategy worked, as he eventually

knocked down 26 shots after a January JVpractice.

“It was still kind of shocking when he gotit,” sophomore Land O’ Lakes JV captainClaire Valeski said.

“We were all happy and all thought hewould get it, but then again, it’s one of thosethings that’s like the luck of the draw,” shesaid.

Dargahi’s shooting philosophy was fixat-ed on conserving energy.

“If I’m not on a great pace, I would stop.If I only have five or six (made 3s) after 20seconds, instead of consume all my energy, Iwould just stop,” he said.

He also uses his arms more than his legs.Dargahi admits he wished he could’ve

put the record out of reach — perhaps mak-ing 29 or 30 3-pointers — knowing full wellhe may have to attempt the endeavor all overagain if someone surpasses his current markof 26.

While a prolific shooter during his highschool career at Cambridge Christian,Dargahi didn’t receive much interest fromcollege coaches.

“It’s hard when you’re 6 feet to play big-time college basketball, even if you are thebest shooter,” said Dargahi, a 2007 graduateof the University of South Florida (USF). “Iprobably should’ve practiced on other stufflike dribbling and my defense.”

Instead, Dargahi settled for playing intra-murals at USF, and occasionally enteredshooting contests — which he typically won.

The love of the game and high-pressurecompetition led him into coaching, where hesaid he enjoys watching his players matureand develop their skills over the course of aseason.

Despite his proclivity for making shots,Dargahi said he doesn’t particularly work with

his JV players on their shooting technique.“It’s hard for me to see through their

eyes, because to me, it’s so easy,” he said. “Ican’t get along their thought process, so I’mprobably not the best shooting teacher.”

But, that doesn’t stop him from giving hisplayers a few tips along the way.

“I would tell people: ‘Don’t worry aboutyour form.’ The best shooters — a lot of themhave weird form,” Dargahi said, noting thatformer NBA great Reggie Miller would crosshis arms during his 3-point attempts. “I thinkform is totally overrated; I think (settingyour) feet is more important. Do whateveryou’re comfortable with.”

Dargahi doesn’t plan to end his shootingrecord quest anytime soon. The Land O’Lakes hoops coach also has his eyes set onbreaking the record for most made freethrows in one minute (52) and the most 3-pointers made in two minutes (44).

Swimmers were splashing aroundthe pool at the Land O’ LakesRecreation Complex, enjoying the

facility which recently received a $90,000makeover.

Some adult swimmers swam laps, whilesome kids received instruction from CoachRobin Hilgenberg.

A little while later, others joined in, tak-ing a refreshing dip on a scorching hot day.

Normally, the pool is open in time forMemorial Day holiday, but this year it was-n’t, because of delays on the project toupgrade the pool.

Besides resurfacing the pool, and repaint-ing the deck, the pool’s shower facilitieswere improved, too.

The last time the pool had been resur-faced was during the 1990s.

Jordan Wheeler, a head lifeguard at thepool, said the improvements are noticeable.

“If you go in there, it feels a lot better onyour feet. There were some holes on thebackside over there, that got completelymended,” he said.

It looks better, too, he said.“The water, now, is a lot more blue,” said

Wheeler, who is working at the pool forhis third season.

The pool has a capacity for 150 guests,but typically doesn’t get that crowded, hesaid, noting the most he’s seen there at onetime was about 120.

A number of summer camps visit the

pool, and the kids seem to enjoy them-selves.

“It gets rowdy, that’s for sure,” he said.The pool’s upgrades were done prima-

rily in the off-season, he said.“We were only closed for about a week

and a half in the time that we’d normallybe open,” Wheeler said. “It was less than op-timal that we didn’t get to open onMemorial Day. Usually, a lot of people wantto come by. It’s practically the first day ofsummer. People want to go out and spendtheir day out at the pool.”

“We’re really excited to have this facilitycleaned up a little bit, because last year itwas kind of in sad shape,” said KristanyFitzthum, supervisor at the site.

With the repair work completed,Fitzthum hopes people will take advantageof the pool.

“I don’t think many people know thatwe’re open. Our first day, we had four peo-ple here. Yesterday, we had 12 or 13,” shesaid.

To make matters worse, there was light-ning on both afternoons, which meant theyhad to clear the pool.

When lightning is within a 10-mile ra-dius of the pool, it is cleared for a half-hourbefore swimmers can return, Fitzthum said.

The price of admission is reasonable,Fitzthum noted. The daily charge for swim-ming is $4 for adults and $3 for children.Passes also are available. A family of four,with two adults and two children, is $120;an adult pass is $80, and a child’s pass is$60.

“The New Port Richey RecreationCenter, it’s $7 to get in and swim, per per-

son,” Fitzthum said.Another advantage at the Land O’ Lakes

complex is that there’s an adults’ only hourfrom 11 a.m. to noon, she said.

The pool temperature is kept at 80 de-grees to 83 degrees.

“Most of the people who come here arereally local. Most of our people who comeare regulars. So, we can form really good re-lationships with them. We know all of themby name,” Fitzthum said.

Nancy and Bernie Guss, who live inPlantation Palms, are both retired fromPasco County Schools.

They began using the pool when itopened, and their now-grown daughter wasa member of a swim team there.

“We can do our yard work in the morn-ing, and then just come over here in theafternoon and relax,” Nancy Guss said. “I’mlooking forward to seeing what kind ofclasses they offer. I hope they have a varietyof classes,” she said.

Marie Berghoefer, who was doing laps,said she’s been swimming at the pool for 10years. A lifelong swimmer, she said she en-joys coming to the pool and will be there asoften as she can be this summer.

Carrie Kukuda, also of Land O’ Lakes, wasswimming laps, too.

She said she appreciates the conven-ience of the pool, not only for herself but formembers of the triathlon team from Get AGrip Total Fitness, where she is the owner,trainer and head coach.

As Coach Hilgenberg taught her class,some parents looked on.

Debbie Fisher has two kids — 13-year-old Tyler Esenberg and 11-year-old Kayla

Esenberg — in the class, and LarisaCurbelo’s son, Nick, is taking it, too.

“This is their first day,” said Fisher, wholives in Lake Padgett. “They want to try outfor high school swim. They want to beready,” Fisher said. Tyler is going into eighthgrade, and Kayla will be in seventh.

“They learned how to swim in CoachRobin’s backyard when they were young,”Fisher said, but they don’t swim competi-tively, and they want to learn the propertechniques.

She was glad they were there.“They look happy,” Fisher said.Curbelo, who lives in Wilderness Lake

Preserve, said her 12-year-old son is “big intofitness now.”

She’s impressed by the pool at the LandO’ Lakes complex.

“It’s a beautiful pool,” she said.“It’s great that they have somewhere to

go,” Curbelo added.The pool is open Tuesdays through

Sunday. It opens at 11 a.m. on weekdays, andcloses at 6 p.m. It opens at 11 a.m. on week-ends, and closes at 7 p.m.
