After months of delay, a public hearingon a proposed charter school at the south-west corner of Lutz Lake Fern and SunlakeBoulevard is slated for the evening of March16.

The proposed Sunlake Academy hasfaced stiff opposition throughout theprocess from residents who live near theproposed school that would be built on a7.4-acre site, as well as objections from areahomeowner associations, the Lutz CitizensCoalition, the Lutz Civic Association and theGFWC Lutz-Land O’ Lakes Woman’s Club.

Since its initial application, CharterSchools Inc., has reduced the number of stu-dents who would attend the school. Theapplicant also has substantially increased itsproposed buffering and agreed to trans-portation improvements.

As the application stands now, the schoolwould allow up to 870 kindergartenthrough eighth grade students, over twophases.

Changes made by the applicant don’t sat-isfy Pat and Joe Serio, whose property abutsthe proposed school.

“We are absolutely opposed,” Pat Seriosaid.

The Reflections community in Lutz hasbeautiful houses, well-maintained areas anda peaceful, suburban aesthetic.

And 30 acres for riding, training andshowing horses.

“It’s been here 20 years. They built that(the housing development) about 11 yearsago,” said Pam Roush, trainer and owner ofAvalon Stables, 18029 Lake Reflections Blvd.Before that, the property was a farm forthoroughbreds. Then Roush bought it andconverted it to an area for training and les-sons, and the Veterans Expressway helpedthe area develop residentially.

Now, Avalon Stables almost looks tuckedaway in a subdivision, but a quick detour offthe main road leads to dozens of stables,large training areas and a little communityall its own.

“We kind of call it our ‘barn family,’” saidassistant trainer Lonna Glover. “Usually inthe afternoons, everybody is here. It’s a bigsocial thing for a lot of our customers.”

Saturday mornings also are a populartime, with riders and family gathering at thepavilion to watch lessons, socialize and sup-

port each other. While Avalon Stables is a fun place for its

riders, it also can be serious business. Manystudents own their own horse and keep it atAvalon. A horse can easily cost what you’d

pay for a new car, Gloverexplained, and addingseveral hundred dollarsa month for care andmaintenance means it’sfor riders looking to im-prove and becomesuccessful at competi-tions.

But owning a horseisn’t a requirement toparticipate. Some riderssimply pay for lessons

and use horses on-site that are designatedfor student use. And whether they’re gun-ning for recognition at a show, or just havingfun on the weekends, horse riding and train-ing can relieve stress.

The pursuit requires the kind of concen-tration that doesn’t leave room for outsidepressures to creep in.

“Most people like to come out here tojust relax and do something different, be-cause they can’t think of anything elsewhile they’re sitting up there,” Glover said.“They have to think of what they’re doingand how they’re doing it.”

Children with attention challenges oftenfind their focus improving when they’re ona horse, because every movement works inconcert to keep the animal behaving as itshould, Roush explained.

The explosion of new development inPasco and Hillsborough counties is goodnews for governments that count on robusttax revenues to balance budgets. But, therooftop subdivisions and shopping mallssprouting along busy highways that linkthese two prospering counties bring newchallenges that likely will require a regionalapproach to solve.

Transportation, including public transit, isamong the most critical issues.

“Everything is connected, but all roads –no pun intended – lead back to transporta-tion,” said Hillsborough CountyAdministrator Mike Merrill.

The recession temporarily slammed thebrakes on new investments. But with mar-ketplace confidence in the driver’s seatagain, developers are accelerating their paceto build thousands of new homes, malls, ho-tels and restaurants.

In Pasco County, much of the activity iscentered on State Road 54, the east-westcorridor on the county’s southern border.The heaviest activity on State Road 54 so faris at its interchanges at Interstate 75 and theSuncoast Parkway.

Another Pasco hot spot is U.S. 19, thenorth-south corridor on the county’s west-ern side.

Both State Road 54 and U.S. 19 are ex-pected to have expanding development andconcentrations of new residents, accordingto Pasco County Administrator MicheleBaker.

Future growth plans, driven by incen-tives, will set the path for where futuredevelopment – commercial and residential -should go, she said. But she added: “You can-not build your way out of trafficcongestion.”

During the past two decades, Pasco hasseen cow pastures and citrus groves vanishas land is plowed over for subdivisions andshopping centers. Rush hours are a daily rit-ual — a commuter conga line of motoristsleaving and returning to the county’s bed-room communities.

Density plays a role in deciding whichtransportation projects should get priority.

“You need a certain amount of conges-tion before you see people on the bus,”Baker said.

Baker and Merrill shared their insights onthe future of their counties and of theTampa Bay region with about 50 peoplewho attended the monthly meeting of the

Pasco and Hillsborough counties are partners in growth

Keeping It Localexpo and fun dayThe Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

Haircutters, bankers, commercial leasingagents, trophy makers and movers all hadsomething in common on March 6 andMarch 7. They were among dozens of busi-nesses and organizations taking part in theCommunity Fun Day Expo 2015 at the LandO’ Lakes Recreation Complex on CollierParkway.

The Central Pasco Chamber ofCommerce and Lowe’s teamed up, withLowe’s presenting the fun day on March 7, anew element for the two-day event.

The expo mixed business with pleasure— featuring fun activities for kids, food ven-dors, giveaways, drawings, and a chance forcompanies and civic clubs to share theirstory with the community, mingle with thepotential customers and do a bit of net-working.

Three-year old Brooklyn Larese carries areusable shopping bag full of samples andbusiness literature, given out by CentennialBank, while she and her parents, Tim andSuzanne Larese and Brooklyn's big sister,Miranda, 9, browsed through the expo.

A resurfacing project will give motoristsa smoother ride along a 6-mile stretch ofU.S. 301 — one of Dade City’s busiest com-mercial corridors.

But there is a new travel lane openingfor pedestrians and bicyclists, too. Work onthe $12.5 million project should be finishedby spring 2016.

As motorists whiz past on the new as-phalt, pedestrians and bicyclists can stroll orpedal along a parallel 10-foot wide multi-usetrail.

Previously, road construction usuallymeant only new asphalt or more trafficlanes for motorized vehicles.

But transportation plans these days oftenbuild in multiple modes of travel from PointA to Point B, and places in between.

This project is one of several upcominginitiatives to develop master plans to guidenew development, transportation, and parksand recreation.

Pasco County officials asked the FloridaDepartment of Transportation for the trail. Itis more often the case that 5-foot wide side-walks are installed when roads are repaved,said Allen Howell, a bicycle and pedestrianplanner with the Pasco CountyMetropolitan Planning Organization.

The organization reviews and recom-mends long-range transportation plans forthe county.

The planning organization has takennote of the uptick in new residential andcommercial development between DadeCity and Zephyrhills.

“We felt there would be more benefit tohaving a 10-foot trail,” said Howell. “Thereseems to be more activity going on in thearea.”

The trail will extend along the west sideof U.S. 301 from Kossik Road north to asidewalk at Dade Avenue. Road paving willcover about 6 miles from Kossik toBougainvillea Avenue in Dade City. A newtraffic signal also is planned at the junctionof U.S. 301 and U.S. 98.

The trail eventually will hook up withexisting and planned trail segments – in-cluding Hardy Trail in Dade City – to form aregional network extending fromHillsborough County to the WithlacoocheeTrail Head in Pasco.

A study will be completed over the nextyear to create a vision for future develop-ment on U.S. 301 from Kossik to the U.S. 98Bypass including a transportation strategy. Apublic workshop will be held from 6 p.m.to 8 p.m. on March 12 at the City ofZephyrhills Council Chambers, 5335 EighthSt.

The northern extension of Hardy Trail isa priority of Pasco MPO. Construction isslated to begin in 2017.

Preserving the scenic beauty of the areahas been a concern of residents, Howellsaid. “They have nice rolling vistas androlling hills, and they want to keep them,”he said.

Area residents already take advantage ofHardy Trail.

On a bright afternoon in Dade City, AnnaCrerand pulled her 2-year-old son, Jude, in ared wagon along Hardy Trail. Charlie, 5, andGenevieve, 4, pushed off on their scooters.

Crerand loves the nearly 1-mile trail thatmeanders through wooded neighborhoodsfrom a trailhead at Church Avenue neardowntown. And she is pleased about thecounty’s future trail plans.

“It gives me a place to exercise and it’san easy way to connect with downtown,”she said. “I feel good about taking the kidson the trail.”

Her family moved to Dade City aboutfive years ago.

“This is a big bonus knowing the trail ishere,” Crerand said. “We didn’t know howmuch we’d enjoy it. It’s nice to see peoplein the community. You’re all engaged in thesame thing.”

In the late afternoon more residentsshowed up to walk or jog the trail either ontheir own, or with a dog in tow.

Multi-use trails promote healthy lifestylesand also make Dade City more attractive totourists and people looking to relocate, saidDade City Mayor Camille Hernandez.

The new trail promotes that.“People have access to a community

where they can bike and walk more easily,”Hernandez said.

It also makes good business sense, sheadded.

“You want a good road to ride on, butfor businesses coming to Dade City or EastPasco, this is an important feature,” she said.“It’s an important piece of quality of life tomake sure the roads are drivable and wellmaintained. It’s a very heavily traveledroad.”

Hand-in-hand with the repaving andtrail, Dade City is beautifying U.S. 98 Bypass.The approximately $113,000 project isfunded with about $26,000 from theFlorida Department of Transportation. Theremainder is from the city through thePenny for Pasco program.

“We talk about a gateway,” Hernandezsaid. “It looks much nicer. I think it’s anadded touch when people decide if theywant to live here. They say ‘wow, it was abeautiful town.’ “

Howell said municipalities are moreaware now of the “complete streets” con-cept when streets are designed for vehicles,pedestrians, bicyclists and bus riders, with afocus on increased safety and beauty.

It is better in the long run to build multi-use trails when possible rather than comeback later to retrofit a street, he said.

As enhancement to the trail system,Pasco MPO is working on a master plan forparks and recreation with the potential forcreating new parks with connecting trailsthat reduce the need for residents to drive.

“In a lot of places people have to actual-ly get in a car and drive over even thoughthey can see the park,” Howell said. “We’retrying to avoid that by making a more ro-bust trail system.”

When Pasco-Hernando State Collegewon a state championship last month, therewas a lot of cheering.

Not just from fans or family members.The cheering actually came from the

team itself.Because that's exactly how they won

the title – from cheering.The PHSC cheer team won the College

Co-Ed Level Six division state title at TheAmerican Cheer & Dance Championshipsfor Florida, held Feb. 7 at the Florida StateFair. Their routine, which lasted 2 minutesand 30 seconds, earned a score of 92.30 outof 100, which earned the team first place intheir division.

"I'm very proud of them," said SophiaHaddad, the team’s head coach.

Haddad is in her first year leading theteam, but she's no stranger to PHSC cheer-leading. She helped start the cheer team asa student back in 2009, and was part of thecheerleading squad that also won a statetitle a few years ago.

At just 23 years old, Haddad has athleteson the team who are older than her.

She considers it an advantage, to beclose in age to the cheerleaders on hersquad.

It helps her connect with the team, andshe's not afraid to get on the mat herselfand demonstrate what to do, if it will helpget her message across.

"I can see it through their eyes," Haddadsaid. "I think I can relate a little bit more tothem."

As a former state champion, she also canrelate to their success.

Haddad writes the team's routines, andsaid she's able to highlight their strengthsin a way that judges will notice.

Those strengths include moves likestunting and pyramids, which require notjust physical ability and skill, but a level oftrust and teamwork that's hard to achieve.

The team's success stems not only fromthe members’ talent.

A good attitude, Haddad said, isessential to creating a successfulroutine and a championshipsquad.

"You can come in and havegood skill, but if you're not a teamplayer and you don't have theright attitude, then you're not any-thing to the team. You're nothelping them in any way. If any-thing, you bring them down."

Right now nobody is bringingdown the Conquistadors, whowill travel to Myrtle Beach, SouthCarolina, for the national champi-onships, which begin March 20.

The team will compete as agroup and also in a separate stunt-ing category.

Haddad has a good feelingabout how they'll perform on thenational stage.

Karlee Roach, a PHSC sopho-more who attended Land O'Lakes High School, sharesHaddad’s optimism about theteam's prospects.

Roach cheered for her schoolas a Gator, but said things becomea little more intense at the collegelevel when a state title is on the line.

"The pressure of it, representing ourschool, was very, very different than highschool," Roach said.

Winning the title also brought specialsatisfaction for her.

In high school, she felt like the squadduring her senior year had the talent to winthe state championship, but it didn’t finishin the top three.

She still believes the scoring was ques-tionable and did not represent what theteam achieved on the mat.

Winning at PHSC has provided some val-idation for Roach and her squad.

"That is why I wanted to join the cheer-leading team here, because I wanted toprove that I am not fourth. I am first. Andit's not just me. It's the team. We are,” Roachsaid.

Roach takes her cheerleading seriously,and she proves it outside of practice andcompetitions. She's in the gym three or fourtimes a week, doing weight training or car-dio to stay at her best. Everybody on theteam puts in their time to perform at achampionship level, she said.

But for all that work, many people stillthink of the cheerleaders as the people onthe side of a game, or simply dancingaround. They don't see the practice time,the injuries, the training and the teamworkthat goes into building a winning program.

"A lot of work goes into it, and nobodyrealizes how much," Roach said.

At PHSC, that's changing.Roach has been stopped by faculty and

school administrators and congratulated forthe team's success. Over time, people arerecognizing that the team's hard work is

paying off, and it feels nice to be noticed fortheir accomplishments.

For Haddad, those accomplishments in-clude being good students. As an academicadvisor for the school, she knows the im-portance of making sure athletes putimportance on their classes.

Cheerleading helps in those and otherareas, by teaching team members the im-portance of working in groups andproviding support, whether it's at the baseof a pyramid — helping get the best out ofa teammate, or focusing on a common goal,like a state or perhaps a national title.

"I'm really lucky. I have a great team,"Haddad said. "They have great attitudes,they're great students. The overall package.And that's really what I look for. You can'tbe a good cheerleader here if you're not agood student. You have to have both."

Three cheers for state champs

American LegionPost turns 95The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

It’s not every day you turn 95, and whenyou do — it’s time to celebrate. At least,that’s how members of American LegionPost 15 felt about it.

The post, at 37745 Church Ave., in DadeCity, recently had a party to mark its impres-sive birthday.

After enjoying a chicken dinner courtesy of the Dade CityKiwanis Club, Sonoko Sloan and her husband, Dale Sloan,enjoy a beverage during the 95th birthday party of the post.Sloan is a U.S. Navy veteran who served from 1971 to 1992.

Iraq veteran Nichelle Young of San Antonio enlisted and served as a ser-geant between 2010 and 2011. At her table display of military memorabilia,Young holds a picture of herself in front of a bunker in Baghdad. She hadthe opportunity to see Saddam Hussein's palace, after the dictator was sen-tenced to death by hanging.

Ed Gorecki, second vice commander ofAmerican Legion Post 15, stands with thepost's flag bearing its name. The post wasnamed for Gordon M. Crothers, shown in theportrait, shortly after he was killed in Europein 1918, during World War I.

Present-day American Legion Post 15 Commander EugeneSmith stands against the backdrop of a portrait of the post'sfirst commander, R.B. Sturkie.

Several members set up displays of militaryartifacts and photographs of service daysgone by. Here, military artifacts owned bypost member Alfred Boucher of Dade Cityfeatured the World War II cap, jacketand medals of U.S. Army Air Force StaffSgt. Louis P. Desaulnier of the Air Force's348th Bomb Squadron.

Standing in front of a pic-ture board of past com-manders and members ofAmerican Legion Post 15,Rich Dygulski, middle, vis-iting from Derby, NewYork, chats it up withPhyllis Smith, wife ofCommander EugeneSmith, along with his wifeRoseann and others dur-ing the post’s recent 95thbirthday bash.

Joe Serio said that he objects not only tothe proposed charter school, but also to theentire process being used to consider the re-quest.

“I look at it, at the special application, asan end-run around the zoning regulations,”Joe Serio said.

The Hillsborough County Commissionadopted the Lutz Community Plan and theNorth Dale Mabry Corridor Plan, he said.“Now, they’re just abandoning them. They’remaking a mockery of the whole process.The citizens worked hard on that,” he said.

With special use applications, a land-usehearing officer makes the final decision on arequest, instead of the Hillsborough CountyCommission.

“We feel that we’re Ground Zero here. Itis literally our backyard,” she said.

“The traffic plan doesn’t take into con-sideration what’s going to happen oncepeople begin to realize the Sunlake(Boulevard) is open to Route (State Road)54 and start using it,” Joe Serio said.

Traffic is already backing up on Lutz LakeFern Road, as people wait to turn left to get

onto Sunlake Boulevard to head over toState Road 54, he said.

The couple is also concerned about po-tential flooding, fumes from car emissionsand noise from children playing outdoors.

“The whole process seems very tilted to-ward developers,” Pat Serio said.

Mike White, president and founder of theLutz Citizens Coalition, said the coalition re-mains opposed to the proposed school.

“It is not an appropriate transitional use,”White said. “It’s not transitional, due to thedensity,” he said.

Too many cars will be coming and goingat peak hours, White said, adding a more ap-propriate use would be one which spreadsthe traffic throughout the business day.

Michael Horner, a professional plannerrepresenting the applicant, said in an emailthat his client has “worked diligently to ad-dress any and all concerns expressed bystaff and the HOA/neighbors, including overa half-million dollars of roadway and otherimprovements, turn lanes, signal modifica-tions, etc.”

Additionally, as a condition of approval,the applicant has agreed to spend close to$50,000 to extend a 6-foot wall across theentire western property boundary, accord-ing to Horner.

Significant setbacks and landscapingbuffer are proposed as well — 10 times thebuffer required by the county’s land devel-opment code, Horner added.

“Bottom line, this school is a very appro-priate land use for this property,” Hornersaid, noting it is supported by the county’slong-range plan and land developmentcode.

Joe and Pat Serio live in the house in the foreground and their neighbors, the Carolines, livein the house in the background. Both couples have gone on record against the proposedSunlake Academy charter school.

CHARTER, from page 1A

Tampa Bay Builders Association on Feb. 26.Much of Pasco’s growth emerged from

development along U.S. 19 in PinellasCounty and from I-75 and U.S. 301 inHillsborough County, Baker said.

“People moved up here for quality of lifeand housing, but we orient ourselves to thecounties to the south,” Baker said.

Slightly less than 50 percent of Pasco res-idents of employment age commute daily toHillsborough and Pinellas counties.

“We’re trying to make that less everyday,” Baker said.

The transportation network linkingHillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco isn’t simplyabout commuters, however. Goods and serv-ices must move along the same network,Baker said.

“We do have to work to try to solve the

problem,” she said.Hillsborough is dealing with its own

growth explosion.It is courting opportunities to attract cor-

porate headquarters, it is watchingdowntown Tampa’s revitalization, ponderinga new site for the Tampa Bay Rays, and deliv-ering expanded services and infrastructureto new residents.

In the next 20 years Hillsborough is ex-pected to add about 600,000 residents,Merrill said.

“Along with (Pinellas CountyAdministrator Mark Woodward) we areworking much more closely than I’ve everseen, since 1988, because we are dependenton each other,” Merrill said.

Improved communications and collabo-rations are good for all counties, Bakeragreed.

“Our futures do grow together,” she said.The challenge is to develop regional

strategies without overlooking each individ-ual county’s needs, Baker said.

As businesses look to expand and don’thave room in Hillsborough and Pinellas,they will look elsewhere, Baker said.

But she posed this question: “Ratherthan let them leap frog from the Tampa Bayregion, how do we work to keep themhere…without cherry picking from eachother?”

The two counties take different ap-proaches to revenue resources.

About 70 percent of Hillsborough’s taxrevenues flow from property taxes, whilePasco gets about 35 percent of its moneyfrom property taxes. The majority of Pasco’srevenues are filled in with sales and gastaxes, and the renewed Penny for Pasco pro-gram.

Baker said Pasco historically has taken a“pay as you go” approach with developerspaying higher impact fees than

Hillsborough to cover the costs of infra-structure, such as roads and sewers, tosupport new growth.

But Baker also pointed out that PascoCounty has the lowest permitting fees inthe region.

Hillsborough needs greater diversity inits revenue sources, Merrill said.

“The struggle in Hillsborough County ishow to go forward. It’s not easy to makethat shift overnight,” Merrill said.

Pasco County has been focused onchanging what Baker described as a “cultureof no.”

Along those lines, county officials havetaken steps to eliminate and streamline busi-ness regulations and to promote a morecustomer friendly attitude among countyemployees, Baker said.

“We are not all the way there, but we arepicking up steam and making good head-way,” Baker said.

Latte, to make a jump from Academy levelshows to A level. She’s almost there, and stillenjoys the training process after all theseyears.

“It’s just really fun. I get to meet a lot ofpeople and spend time with horses,” shesaid. Krone is working hard on form andbody placement, which is a big part of thejudging. It’s important to maneuver thehorse properly using complex signals and

motions, but maintain a smooth and com-fortable look, as if the two work togethernaturally.

And even though it’s hard work, it’s awelcome respite from the stresses of her vir-tual school schedule.

“Usually when I have a really hard day atschool, it just takes my mind off of things,”Krone said. She hopes to reach A level in thenext couple of months.

Annaliese Donaldson-Pham, 12, can’t re-member a time when she wasn’t riding.She’s been with Avalon for a couple of

years, but began riding when she was 3.“I just love the connection between you

and your horse,” she said. And she’s buildinga connection with Tirza, a horse she ac-quired to focus on performing as she plansto make a jump of her own in the showingcircuit. A competitor at A level for more thanthree years, Donaldson-Pham is looking togo national, and works weekly with Tirza toget ready for tougher competition.

Seeing her students improve and ad-vance in competition is a particular sourceof pride for Roush.

“I love my kids. It’s the best,” she said. “It’swhy we do it.” It also becomes a lifelong pas-sion for many of them, she said, buildingfrom an interest that began as children intoa consistent part of their lives as adults.

Krone agrees.“I definitely see myself doing this for a

long time,” she said.The spring break camp at Avalon, which

lasts a week, began on March 9.Summer camp dates begin in June.For more information, call (813) 765-

7162 or visit AvalonStables.com.

Most people are planners. We plan forwork and play — vacations, sporting events,social occasions and milestones like births,graduations and weddings.

The only milestone most people fail to planfor is the last one — when we end our journeyhere on earth. Even those who have acceptedthat death is part of life can be reluctant tomake arrangements for that final occasion.

The caring, professional staff at TrinityMemorial Gardens understands this hesita-tion. Every staff member knows how to care forothers during this time of need, and is trainedto assist with unique needs and requests.

Gary Saling, general manager of TrinityMemorial Gardens, commented, “Whensomeone makes pre-need plans for them-selves, they find peace of mind knowing thattheir family members will not need to worry orbe burdened about what to do when the timecomes.”

“When you make the decisions and thearrangements, you can be assured that yourwishes will be carried out, “ said Saling. “Youwill spare your family the emotional choicesthat need to be made at a verydifficult time.”

In addition to pre-needplanning, Trinity MemorialGardens offers at-need servic-es, traditional burial and on-site cremation at its locationon State Road 54, two mileswest of the VeteransExpressway. All faiths are welcomed at thisprivately owned, full service funeral home,which offers a lovely, on-site chapel with seat-ing for up to 250 guests.

There is a Garden of Honor for militaryveterans, two Catholic themed gardens, theGarden of Prayer and Bell Tower, a non-sec-tarian garden. There is also a separate ceme-tery on-site for those of the Jewish faith, called

Beit Olam. Trinity also serves those of theHindu faith, as they have the on-site cremato-ry.

The Rose Garden is a newly created areathat provides for in ground cremation burials.There is a private estate garden for thoseinterested in a separated family plot, and apublic mausoleum with both crypts for fullbody entombment, and niches for cremationinurnments. There are also glass front nichesfor a unique way to memorialize a loved one.

Trinity Memorial Gardens is about toembark on numerous constructions projects,including a new niche chapel dedicated toglass front niches, another inside mausoleum,an outside mausoleum, multiple new gardens,and a gazebo near the gardens of honor and

innocence (the special gardenfor infants).

A full-time, professionalmaintenance staff takes careof the beautiful grounds.There are no additional feescharged to families for land-scaping and garden mainte-nance.

Trinity Memorial Gardens, which is part ofDr. James Gill’s original vision for Trinity, cel-ebrated 20 years of service this past in January.The Gardens continue to grow and expandservices to meet the needs of all who call thisregion home.

General Manager Gary Saling joins his staffin inviting you to call and schedule a personaltour of the Trinity Memorial Gardens campus.

The National Domestic Abuse Hotline re-ports that 1.5 million high school studentseach year experience physical abuse from adating partner.

Yet, only one-third of those victims seek help.Dating violence goes beyond physical

abuse. It includes verbal, emotional and sex-ual abuse of a partner, as well.

Teen victims of dating violence are atgreater risk of substance abuse, eating disor-ders and future abuse, according to theNational Domestic Abuse Hotline.

To combat this serious problem, TheNational Crime Prevention Council (NCPC)and AlertID have joined forces to raiseawareness and offer warning signs, advicefor parents, and resources for victims.

“We need to start early in teachingyoung people strategies to recognizehealthy dating relationships," said Ann M.Harkins, president and CEO of the NationalCrime Prevention, said in a release.“Prevention is key to protecting our chil-dren and making sure they never feel thesting of domestic abuse.”

She encourages parents to talk to theirchildren about this serious issue.

Here are some of the warning signs:The teenager:• Makes excuses and apologizes for his

or her partner’s behaviors• Frequently has unexplained injuries,

such as bruises or body pain• Isolates him or herself from family and

friends and only deals with his or her part-ner

• The dating partner often texts or callsdemanding to know where and with whomthe teenager has been

• Often appears to be depressed butwon’t discuss the cause

Here are steps that parents can take:• Set a good example. Display positive

and healthy relationships to model what anappropriate and respectful relationship witha significant other looks like.

• Teach your children to trust their judg-ment. Have an open conversation aboutdating violence, physical and verbal abuseto help prepare your child to know how tosafely and properly avoid abusive relation-ships.

• Create an open environment. Yourchild should know that they can come toyou in times of need for support - not criti-cism or judgment. Maintain a neutralposition to help your teen to open up abouthis or her partner. Listen and don’t jump toconclusions. Assure your child that if he orshe ever finds him or herself in a violent re-lationship that you will be a source of help,not blame.

Resources that can help:• National Domestic Violence Hotline:Call (866) 331-9474.• LoveIsRespect.org• ItIsTimeToTalkDay.org

When the Land O’ Lakes HighSchool girls’ basketball team reached thestate semifinal last year, it might have lookedlike a bit of good fortune. They hadn’t ap-proached that level of success during coachPhyllis Crain’s tenure, so it seemed to comeout of nowhere. People could have won-dered if it was a fluke or a lucky run.

Nobody is wondering that anymore.The Gators followed up last year’s tour-

nament berth with another one just like it:For the second straight year, they won theirregion and reached the state semifinals.

And while, like last year, the team’s sea-son ended before the state title game, theteam and coach are very proud of their ac-complishments.

“I’m very happy about that (making itback to the state tournament),” said Crain,who just completed her fourth season ascoach. “It’s an accomplishment for the girls.They wanted to see that they could do it.”

They did it with a 28-4 record, even bet-ter than last year’s 24-5 mark. They also didit with more success along the way. Last sea-son, Land O ‘ Lakes was district runner-upbefore winning its region. This season theteam claimed district and conference cham-pionships on its way to another regionaltitle.

The end of the season, however, was nota high point.

In fact, the Gators were overwhelmedlast month in a 56-13 semifinal defeat toPaxon.

The margin of defeat reflected a combi-nation of playing a great team, while theGators were not performing well, Crainsaid.

The Golden Eagles, from Jacksonville,started out strong, and the game got awayfrom the Gators before halftime.

Despite the loss, the team showed anability to overcome adversity during theplayoffs. They built leads, lost them andcame back from behind to win gamesthroughout their run. They found a way towin by pulling together and working to-gether as a unit, a trait the coach said wastheir strongest quality this season.

“It’s a team game. We win and lose andplay as a team,” Crain said.

They’ll do the same next year, thoughthe team will look a little different. This

year’s roster had seven seniors, includingtwo starters, who will need to be replaced.

Departing players include standout play-er Jhade Hayes.

Coach Crain will rely on returning play-ers such as Gabby Mills and Mikala Canadato pick up the slack.

“We’re losing a big part of us with Jhade,but Mikala’s coming back, and she’s going tobe our floor leader next year,” Crain said.

Canada is ready to be that leader. Whileshe has the talent to score, the pointguard enjoys finding holes in the defenseand getting the ball to the teammate whohas the best chance to put points on theboard. She’s fine with other players gettingthe points, if it achieves the team’s goals.

“I like to bring the ball down the court,

and get my other teammates to score,”Canada said. “My coach calls me the quarter-back of the team. I’ve got to makeeverybody else look good.”

While she’ll help the new starters lookgood, Canada said it’s up to thereturning team members to show themhow to fit in.

The Gators have been good at utilizingeach other’s strengths and compensatingfor weaknesses, and while Canada’s ready toscore a little more when required, she’ll stilllook to pass the ball to the most-open play-er.

But that’s next season.For now, Canada is able to look back on

what the team accomplished with prideand a sense of satisfaction that for the sec-

ond straight year, they were one of the lastteams standing.

“We had a really good season,” she said.“In Pasco County, not a lot of teams go to

state. So when we did it the second time ina row, it’s a big accomplishment,” Canadasaid.

Crain also feels that same pride, but it’snot for herself.

Even though the coach has built a strongprogram, she’s more focused on the experi-ence for her players, many who will beplaying in their last organized basketballleague.

“It’s for the girls. It’s not about me,” Crainsaid. “I just love to see them, because thismight be the only time they’re going to playbasketball.”

FRED BELLET/PHOTOJhade Hayes was a big part of the Gators’ success as a senior, but now they’ll have to find a way to replace her talent on the court.

Fast start for LOL softballThere's still a lot of season left, but the

Land O' Lakes softball team has to be happywith how things are going so far.

Ten games in, the team has amassed a 9-1record. That includes some close calls, like a7-6 win over Zephyrhills on Feb. 23. Butthere are also some blowout wins, includinga 15-0 dismantling of Central on Feb. 12 anda 13-0 won over Fivay on March 3. The teamwon five straight, following a 2-1 loss toDunedin on Feb. 24.

While the fast start is encouraging,they're still looking up in the 5A District 8standings.

That loss to Dunedin is the difference,with the 4-0 Falcons on top, and the Gatorscurrently in third at 3-1.

But with nine wins in their first 10 tries,Land O' Lakes is in good position to achieveits first winning season after falling short ofthat mark four straight years. The team was13-13 last season.

The Temple of Heaven — a replica of a temple built for the emperor between 1406 and 1420 — dwarfs vis-itors to Zoominations at Lowry Park Zoo. It is the highest standard of architecture in ancient China,according to a nearby legend sign.

ZOOMINATIONSTRANSFORMS

LOWRY PARK ZOO

This colorful display is called the Asparas Arcade. A rich array of Buddhist art, found along an ancienttrail of caves and grottos, included depictions of the Asparas — flying spirits of water and cloud thathave taken the form of women presenting flowers to one another.

FRED BELLET/PHOTOSEvent-goers are silhouetted against the bright lights of a long dragon at Zoominations. A nearby sign tells the legend of The Chinese Dragon. It is one of the most important symbols inChinese culture. The dragon symbolizes power, nobility and honor, and also is a sign of luck and success.


Zoominations, A Chinese Festival of Lights, is a spectacle ofcolorful lighted figures, arranged in 30 scenes over 26acres at Lowry Park Zoo, 1101 W. Sligh Ave., in Tampa.

The display depicts traditional Chinese themes from nature tofolklore and includes groups of larger-than-life animals, such as ele-phants and rhinos.

A team of 40 craftsmen and craftswomen, traveled 7,500 milesfrom the village of Zigong, to create the exhibit — which is the firstof its kind in the southeastern United States. Zigong is the birthplaceof the Chinese Lantern Festival, which is held in China in the last dayof the Chinese New Year celebration, which fell on March 5 this year.

It is one of the country’s most important traditional festivals, trac-ing back to the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago.

Zoominations, which also will feature performances by Chineseacrobats and an artisan market, debuted on Feb. 28 and will run onselect evenings through May 31.

Zoominations is a nighttime event that carries a separate ticketfrom Zoo daytime admission. Zoominations tickets are $24.95 foradults, $22.95 for seniors (60 and older) and $19.95 for children ages3 to 11. Those 2 and younger are free.

Visit LowryParkZoo.org for more information.

Before entering Lowry Park Zoo during Zoominations, A Chinese LanternFestival, the main entrance is the replica of the Chinese Gate. The top of the gateis topped with nine Chinese dragons, representing the emperor and his sons.

Phyllis Goodlad has won so many awardsat athletic event for seniors, there's too manyto mention.

And when you talk to her, she never men-tions them.

"What's behind is behind. You've got tokeep your sights on the future," she said. At86, she's been collecting medals and tro-phies for decades.

She doesn't even know where most ofthem are. A couple of trophies can be seenin her home, but the majority are likelystored away in other rooms or in a shed ather home in Dade City.

Sometimes she even forgets to pick themup after she wins her events, she said.

Goodlad doesn't even like to say she wonor came in first place. She simply says "I didwell," so as not to seem boastful.

Her reluctance to appear prideful mightstem from being a little girl in Wexford,Ireland before World War II, a time whenwomen weren't encouraged to participate inathletics, much less to excel at them.

"I was brought up where you couldn't dosports, because ladies did not do that,"Goodlad recalled.

But they could marry athletes, and shefound one in her husband, Terry.

"He was an all-around athlete. When I methim, he was going to turn pro as a boxer, andI don't like boxing," Goodlad recalled. "I gavehim a choice."

Terry chose love over a boxing glove, andthey had been married for nearly 60 years,when he passed away in 2007.

During their marriage, her husband be-came an expert runner and cyclist, andtraveled to participate in several sportsaround the world.

The interest rubbed off on Goodlad. Shefound herself trying new sports such ascross-country skiing, race-walking (whereshe holds Masters records in the UnitedStates and Canada) and triathlons.

She competed in last year's Florida SeniorGames in cycling and swimming.

And when she enters an athletic contest,she often wins.

She entered a triathlon at the NationalSenior Games in Cleveland, Ohio, a couple ofyears ago. After some coaxing, Goodlad ad-mits she took first place.

But the victories and awards aren't whatare important to her.

She values the friendships she makes, thefun of competing and the health benefitsthat keep her in the water or on the course.

Those are the things that keep her feelingyoung.

"I don't think of my age until I have toput it down," Goodlad said.

Her athletic participation also keeps hermentally sharp. She enjoys setting goals forherself, using her tablet to research futureevents, and focusing on the next competi-tion or event.

While most people in their mid-80s aren'ttraining for their next cycling event or swim-ming race, Goodlad said that seniors can andshould do more to stay active.

Like most people, she watches some tele-vision — especially when the Olympics orTour de France are on — but doesn't make ither main activity for the day.

Doing something that requires physicalexertion is harder than sitting in a chair andwatching a program, she said, but the latteractivities don’t provide any health benefits.

Even if someone's health isn't perfect,doing something is better than doing noth-ing, and can still make a big difference intheir lives, Goodlad said.

"Get involved, even if it's only for a shorttime in the morning or a short time in the af-ternoon or evening. Just don't stay home allthe time," Goodlad advises. "Even if it’s onlywalking to the end of the street. Park yourcar as far away from the store as you can.Just that little but of walking is amazing. It'llstart you on a journey that will only give youthe greatest pleasure you can think of."

Goodlad's journey takes her to Lakelandseveral times a week for swimming practice,and to Canada for several months out of theyear, where she visits family in between trav-eling to competitions. She also will likelyhead to the National Senior Games inMinneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, this July.

Even though she'll be 87 this year, she'sstill looking to try new things. She alwayswanted to take up fencing, and now that hergranddaughter is trying it, she wonders ifthat might be a new opportunity.

The fact that she's never done somethingbefore doesn’t deter her. Goodlad once en-tered a kayaking competition despite neversetting foot in one. She took second place.

So if you want to try something new, heradvice is to give it a shot, enjoy the journey,and don't let a lack of experience hold youback.

"Nobody knows anything until they learnit," Goodlad said.

MICHAEL MURILLO/STAFF PHOTOPhyllis Goodlad, 86, is often on a bicycle, in the pool or on the road traveling to different competitions. She took part in cycling and swim-ming in last year's Florida Senior games.

New license plate on its wayThe Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

People dropping by Pasco County TaxCollector Mike Fasano’s five offices inFebruary may have noticed a Florida beachscene on the normally blank walls.

The scene was a part of a month-longpromotion of the new Big Brothers BigSisters specialty license plate.

Vouchers for the new plate are beingsold in advance, according to a release fromFasano’s office.

Statewide, a total of 1,000 vouchers mustbe sold before the plates are produced.

“So far, statewide, 409 vouchers havebeen sold as of the end of February, so we’regetting closer and working hard to reachthat goal,” said Stephen Koch, president andCEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of TampaBay, in the release.

“This campaign has also been a great op-portunity to share our message. Thanks tothe support from Mike Fasano and his staff,we’ve had people reach out to us to saythey believe in the power of mentoring somuch, they have signed up to volunteerwith our agency throughout Pasco County.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters pairs caring adultmentors (called ‘Bigs’) to children (called‘Littles’). The child may be growing up in asingle-parent home, have an incarceratedparent, or perhaps they are being raised by agrandparent. Independent studies show chil-dren paired with a mentor are more likelyto graduate to the next grade level and lesslikely to end up in the juvenile justice sys-tem. Sales from the license plate voucherswill help the agency match more kids whoare on the waiting list, including 100 boysand girls in Pasco County.

“We’re proud to partner with BigBrothers Big Sisters,” Fasano said, in the re-lease.

“We know the agency is fulfilling a hugeneed in the community. We’ll continue topromote the Big Brothers Big Sisters licenseplate voucher project, knowing this will notonly make a difference today, but will makean impact on a child’s future, too.”

The cost of the voucher is $25, which isin addition to the normal registration and re-lated fees.

For more information regarding this pro-motion or other services provided by thePasco County Tax Collector’s Office, contactGreg Giordano, director of CustomerRelations at (727) 847-8179, or visitPascoTaxes.com.
