Wells makes history, Moore ready for NovemberBy Michael [email protected]

The Pasco County Commission has hadits share of lopsided victories in the last 30or so years. But there’s never been one likethe District 4 race last week between cur-rent commissioner Henry Wilson Jr., andMike Wells Jr.

More than 36 percentage points separat-ed Wells from Wilson, the largest margin ofvictory since 2010 when Commissioner PatMulieri defeated independent candidateClay Colson to keep her seat on District 2by 40 percentage points.

Winners who pick up more than 60 per-cent of the vote in races typically areincumbents like Mulieri, who captured 61percent of the vote in 1998, and 62 percentin 2002. But rarely, if ever, is the candidatewho hits that milestone the challenger look-ing to unseat the incumbent.

Wilson won his seat in an upset win overMike Cox in 2010, surprising nearly everyonewith 52 percent of the vote. This time around,with most of the attention on the open seatleft by Mulieri’s retirement in District 2, therewas a question on whether or not Wilsonwould even be challenged by anyone else.

That is until early April when Wells, theson of former county commissioner andcurrent county property appraiser Mike

Wells Sr., decided it was time to run.“We need leadership there, and we need

it right now,” Wells told The Laker/Lutz Newslast month ahead of the primary. “We lostAnn Hildebrand on the commission a fewyears back, and now Ted Schrader says he isretiring in a couple years. Quite frankly, thatcreates a vacuum that needs to be fixed.”

Wells would take the seat with 68 per-cent of the vote, the biggest win of anycommission candidate over an incumbentsince at least 1980. The former EnterpriseRent-A-Car area manager and current real es-tate agent won every precinct in the county,and never trailed Wilson as the results weretabulated last week.

“When I started this journey very lateinto the campaign season, I did so because I

Diane Baumann, a nurse fromZephyrhills, said she came out to voteas part of her civic duty.

Baumann, who said she’s “50-plus”years old, added that she casts her bal-lot because she appreciates thesacrifices that others have made to en-able her to enjoy that right.

Insurance agent Linda Spence, 63,of Zephyrhills said she headed to the pollson Aug. 26 because she wanted to showher support for Gov. Rick Scott in his bidfor re-election.

Spence had just moved to Zephyrhillsfrom Brandon.

“This is my first time voting in PascoCounty,” she said. “It was very easy. I’m usedto a longer line in Hillsborough County.”

Debra Townsend, a 60-year-oldkindergarten aide who works inHillsborough County, was casting herfirst vote in Pasco because her familyjust moved to Wesley Chapel.

She came out to vote against Gov.Rick Scott.

“I don’t like our governor, she said.“I don’t like him at all. I made sure Iwas here.”

Her dad emphasized the impor-tance of voting, and that stuck with her.

Elizabeth Beck, 34, a Land O’Lakes kindergarten teacher, said shewanted to be sure to sure to cast herballot in the race for governor.

“I want to vote for the candidatewho will best support our schools, mystudents and my profession,” she said.

She also wanted to set a good ex-ample for the students she teaches atPine View Elementary School.

Amos Davis, 68, of WesleyChapel, is a retired vehicle glass in-staller, who wanted to support thegovernor.

“I voted for Scott,” he said.Davis came to the polls bearing a

list of suggested candidates from hiswife.

“She knows more about this than Ido,” he said. “I’m just an old redneckhillbilly.”

Last week’s pri-mary electionattracted lessthan 15 percentof registered vot-ers. But that’s allthat was neededto elect onecounty commis-sioner, and nomi-nate another onefor the Novemberelection.

wanted the opportunity to help as manypeople in Pasco County as I could,” Wellswrote on his Facebook page after the elec-tion. “So I went into the community and metwith you. We met, we talked, you talked, andI listened. I’m still holding on to all of ourconversations, and all of your stories.”

Because this seat was decided during pri-mary season, Wilson will continue as acommissioner until November. He told TheLaker/Lutz News that he will spend thattime doing what he has done all along: serv-ing the people of Pasco County, and“looking out for their best interests.”

“As far as my future, right now we aretrusting God for what he has planned aheadof myself and my family, and am excited tosee where that journey will take us.”

One other commission seat remains upfor grabs, and that’s the one being vacatedby Mulieri, who is retiring after 20 years.Mike Moore, who raised far more moneythan his opponents, took a first step towardthat seat with a primary win.

“I am humbled by the support our cam-paign has received from so many peoplefrom across Pasco County,” Moore said. “Ialso deeply appreciate all the volunteerswho have worked very hard toward our vic-tory this evening.”

Moore won a little more than 50 percentof the vote in a campaign where he raised

more than $100,000, and received supportfrom outside political groups that purchasedairtime on local television stations featuringPasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco.

Finishing as the runner-up for the secondtime in the primary is former state Rep. KenLittlefield, who earned 28 percent of the vote.

“It was an impressive win by MikeMoore,” Littlefield said. “To prevail in a three-candidate primary with over 50 percent ofthe vote is a notable feat and deserves con-gratulations.”

Littlefield will continue to do what hehas done the last five years, he said: “Get upearly, put a tie on, and go work for HodgesFamily Funeral Home.

“I enjoy the work, and at this time, haveno plans to run for public office,” he said.

Bob Robertson, a financial analyst wholives in Lake Bernadette in Zephyrhills, leftthe door slightly more open for a possiblefuture run.

“It was important to me to offer myselfwithout accepting funds from anyone thatmight compromise me later,” he said.“Hopefully now, life returns to some senseof normal. As to future plans, impossible toknow at this point.”

Moore now faces Erika Remsberg, whowon the Democratic nomination for theDistrict 2 commission seat without opposi-tion.

Lavinia Pascariu Gollapudiand Victor Gollapudi pulled upto the polling place at the Land O’Lakes Community Center shortlyafter 6 p.m., to be sure to beat theclosing time an hour later.

The couple recently moved tothe area from the St. Louis metroarea, and said they didn’t knowmuch about the candidates.

Victor noted that it wouldn’tmatter who was on the ballot be-cause they consider voting to betheir civic duty.

One day nearly a decade ago, Marcus andErin Meyer realized their dream of openingtheir own business, kickstarting GatorCleaning Solutions out of their garage. Notlong after, it would move to a new home thecouple bought in Land O’ Lakes, before final-ly taking up 2,500 square feet of warehousespace in Odessa.

They employ eight people in their cor-porate office, and more than 80 people oncleaning crews that now include restorationservices, carpet and grout cleaning.

They have provided plenty of jobs in thecleaning industry, and because of that, theyare one of eight companies honored by thePasco County Economic DevelopmentCouncil at its Industry of the Year Awards atSaddlebrook Resort.

“The reason why we were nominated inthe first place is because there was a lot offocus on job creation, which is great, be-cause we’ve created a lot of jobs,” ErinMeyer said. “And we’re still growing. It’s ex-citing — a little nerve-wracking at times, butit’s fun. There are days I’m pulling my hairout, and days I’m doing a dance.”

Pasco EDC honored Gator Cleaning withone of two service and distribution awards,the second going to A&K EnergyConservation in Dade City. They both werechosen from more than 30 nominees, who

were judged based on growth in areas liketechnology, innovation, job creation, capitalinvestment and community service.

While some companies were born andgrown up in Pasco, others were attracted bywhat the county had to offer and relocatedhere. DataMentors LLC started 15 years agoin Tampa, but relocated to Wesley Chapelseven years ago on land they purchased onOak Myrtle Lane.

“It’s kind of nice looking out the win-dow and seeing trees instead of concrete,”said Bob Orf, the chief executive ofDataMentors, which was honored with thetechnology award Tuesday night. “We took alittle bit of a risk when we bought the land.There was no road to it when we pur-chased the property. We were the firstbuilding in this area, and it’s worked out ter-rifically.”

DataMentors is a data management com-pany that requires a secure location for itsmany servers. The company started with fiveemployees, but now has 36, working inareas like programmers and technicians.

“We do a lot of recruiting right out ofcolleges like the University of South Floridaand the University of Central Florida,” Orfsaid. “There are not a lot of high-tech compa-nies in Pasco, but you know, we’re happy tobe here, and be one of the pioneers here.”

Half the employee base lives in Pasco,while the other half commutes in fromHillsborough County, Orf said. That’s great

for him, however, because the “reverse com-mute” — driving in the opposite directionof rush-hour traffic — makes working inPasco quite appealing.

“We don’t have a lot of turnover here,” hesaid. “Almost a third of our employees havebeen with us at least 10 years. And, youknow, we try to do what’s right for our em-ployees, because that’s a win-win for us.”

Other winners at the Pasco EDC eventincluded:

• MedActive Oral Pharmaceuticals ofOdessa won the new business award.

• Rochester Electro-Medical Inc., of Lutz,and Seaway Plastics Engineering Inc., of PortRichey, both won manufacturer of the year.

• Pasco-Hernando State College in NewPort Richey was given the special contribu-tion award.

• Withlacoochee River ElectricCooperative of Shady Hills was given thespecial recognition award.

Construction projects to yield big changes By B.C. [email protected]

Pasco County Schools has taken on anambitious construction schedule that willresult in significant changes for thousands ofstudents across Central and East PascoCounty in the next few years.

Projects now underway will result in re-opening Quail Hollow Elementary School inWesley Chapel and Sanders MemorialElementary School in Land O’ Lakes next year.

Quail Hollow will have enclosed class-rooms, updated building systems and newtechnology, said John Petrashek, director ofconstruction services for Pasco CountySchools. The technology will be the same asany new elementary school in the district.

Quail Hollow also will be larger.The district is adding eight classrooms

there to accommodate 160 additional stu-dents, increasing the total capacity to 800.

The additional space at Quail Hollow willresult in a boundary change to bring morestudents there, said Chris Williams, director ofplanning for Pasco County Schools. Sanderswill be a magnet school for science, technol-ogy, engineering, arts and mathematics.

The school will not have boundaries andit will enroll its students through the dis-trict’s School Choice program.

The district does want to reduce crowd-ing at Oakstead and Connerton elementaryschools, so students from those schools like-ly will be given a higher priority foradmission to Sanders.

The district has been working formonths on the design for High School GGG,which is slated to open in August 2017 onthe west side of Old Pasco Road nearOverpass Road. The school will have a ca-pacity of 1,900 students.

“It’s going to be built as a high school,”Petrashek said, but it will open serving stu-dents beginning in sixth grade.

The new school will affect existingboundaries for Wiregrass Ranch and WesleyChapel high schools, as well as Weightmanand Long middle schools, Williams said.

“We don’t have the money to build the

full middle school and the full high school.This will provide us relief,” he said. “Then, asthe population continues to grow, and thedemand is there, we’ll build a full-blownmiddle school next door to it.”

“We have it master planned and masterdesigned for both,” Petrashek said.

The site is a couple hundred acres, so itcan easily accommodate a high school and amiddle school, Williams said. And the districtalso is planning to add some other districtfacilities there as well.

Middle School HH, which will eventuallybe built there, is not yet included on a dis-trict timetable because no funding is yetavailable, Petrashek said. The school is beingdesigned with two large classroom build-ings, with one to be used by middle schoolstudents, and the other to be used by highschool students.

They’ll share the cafeteria and athletic fa-cilities, but there will be separate lockerrooms for the younger and older students,Petrashek said.

The school will operate much like aschool within a school, with one principaloverseeing assistant principals who special-ize in high school and middle schoolstudents.

The district also is planning to add an ele-mentary school, known as Elementary SchoolB, on land within a new residential develop-ment, Bexley Ranch, now beginning to takeshape near State Road 54 and the SuncoastParkway in Land O’ Lakes, Williams said.

“That’s going to be a huge reliever forOakstead and Odessa elementary,” Williamssaid.

Unlike other district elementary schools,which have been designed for 762 students,Elementary School B could be built to ac-commodate nearly 1,000 students, he said,although that approach is still in the discus-sion phase.

The district is looking at opening thatschool in 2017.

Elementary W, another school planned toopen in August 2016, would be built next toLong Middle not far from which is next toWiregrass Ranch High, and Pasco-HernandoState College’s Porter Campus at WiregrassRanch. The school aims to reduce crowdingat Double Branch and Sand Pine elementaryschools, as well as provide some relief forSeven Oaks Elementary School, Williams said.

“Seven Oaks really popped this year,” hesaid.

The relief for Seven Oaks may involve

sending some of those stu-dents to Sand Pine orshifting them to ElementaryW, Williams said, noting itsnot yet clear what path offi-cials will take.

“In the future we’llhave a school in theNorthwood development,”he said. “That’s south ofSeven Oaks. Ultimately,that’s going to provide therelief for Seven Oaks.”

While the district looksahead to these projects, italso has completed workon a number of improve-ments in other schools.

The new gym atStewart Middle School inZephyrhills was finished at

the end of last school year just in time forthe eighth-grade graduation exercises,Petrashek said. But students are just nowgetting full use of the new facility.

“It’s still brand new,” Petrashek said.The renovation of the weight room and

locker rooms at Zephyrhills High Schoolalso is now complete, Petrashek said. Crewscompleted the renovation of the school clin-ic at Cox Elementary School in Dade Cityover the summer.

“It was simply outdated. It wasn’t func-tioning, so we redid that,” Petrashek said.

Now, the district is working on the de-sign for a $5 million construction project atCox that will add a new cafeteria and im-prove parking and the drop-off loop,Petrashek said, which could be completedby August 2016.

The district also is at the design stage ofa campus renovation project at PascoElementary School in Dade City. The project,expected to be completed by August 2016,involves renovating classrooms, which willinclude infrastructure upgrades, new tech-nology and fire sprinklers.

Portable classrooms will be brought in toenable construction work to be done whilethe campus is occupied.

B.C. MANION/STAFF PHOTOSConstruction crews have a long way to go to get Sanders Memorial Elementary Schoolready to become a magnet school for science, technology, engineering, art and mathe-matics. District officials say the school in Land O’ Lakes will be ready for the upcomingschool year.John Petrashek

Annette S. Williams, MD, FACOG GynecologyDr. Williams provides compassionate, state-of-the-art care to women of all ages. Board certi"ed in obstetrics and gynecology, she o#ers care ranging from routine annual exams to new and advanced treatment options for gynecologic disorders.

Services include:

Treatment for complex conditions including:

curity, strategic planning, and legal and com-pliance issues. The latter is importantbecause different business sectors such ashealth and finance have different require-ments, and a skilled cybersecurityprofessional needs to know the nuances of

their particular industry, Krishnan said.Graduation results in earning a master’s

degree, but there’s more to it than that.Industry certifications are an important partof the information technology field,Krishnan said, and the program is designedto help graduates qualify for them.

The new program, which is open to stu-dents with some previous information

technology education or work experience,was 18 months in the making. The univer-sity already is pleased with the initialinterest, officials said. Around 20 studentswill take part when the degree is first of-fered, which exceeds Saint Leo’s originalgoals.

The online offering in 2015 will allowthem to increase capacity as well.

Krishnan, who has been with the univer-sity for five years and played an integral rolein getting this program off the ground, alsois satisfied with the program’s developmentand course offerings.

“I feel very good about it,” he said. “Ithink we’ve done a great job in putting to-gether a very sophisticated, technicallyadvanced, state-of-the-art program.”

which was built in 1922, said Sister AliceOttapurackal, the school’s principal.

The building that’s under constructionrepresents a new chapter in the school’s his-tory. Not only is Saint Anthony School theoldest parochial school in the diocese, it’salso one of the oldest Catholic schools inFlorida.

San Antonio was founded in 1882 as aCatholic colony. A year later, a widowedwoman named Cecilia Morse moved intothe community with her six children.

When she inquired about a school forthe children, she was told it could wait untilthere were more settlers. So she beganteaching 14 children, including her children,in her kitchen.

In April 1884, the classes were moved

into the church. Then that November, theymoved into a frame building.

The new building is the fourth in theschool’s history. Unlike previous structuresconstructed on the school campus, thisone is an additional building, not a replace-ment.

The existing historic brick structure re-placed a two-story structure built in 1899,which replaced the original frame structurebuilt in 1884.

The historic brick building will remainand will be used for some school functions.

The school began the 2014-15 academicyear with an enrollment of 210, with stu-dents coming from nearby places such asSan Antonio and Dade City, and farther away,from Zephyrhills, Brooksville, Land O’ Lakes,New Tampa and other communities.

The school emphasizes academic excel-lence, while teaching the Catholic faith.

ago, when that was the thing to do, both so-cially and sports wise,” said Laura Sanderson,a pro at Meadow Oaks Golf & Country Clubin Hudson. “Everyone built a bunch of golfcourses because, back then, we could keepthem full. But now people’s interests havechanged, especially the younger generation.People just have better things to do withtheir time and money.”

The summer season hasn’t helped, whenmany seasonal residents are in their north-ern homes, and those remaining finding ittoo hot to hit the links. Even Meadow Oaks,which averages 275 golfers a day during thepeak season, is seeing just a little more than100 during the summer months.

But getting through those times meansknowing that it’s coming, and being readyfor it. Quail Hollow Golf Course in WesleyChapel, for example, has focused on attract-ing a lot of non-golf events like motorcycleshows and big band performances,Sanderson said.

Others, however, would likely struggleno matter what they tried to do. And all ofthat goes back to how golf courses wereoriginally financed.

Mortgages — typically in the millions ofdollars — were structured in a way that acourse could pay its note and still make aprofit by charging $70 a round, for example.

“People don’t have that kind of excessmoney anymore, or if they do, they are notreally willing to put it toward golf,”Sanderson said.

Instead, many have to cut fees, and thenfind ways to save expenses. More often thannot, golf courses choose to skimp on main-tenance — which could drive away evenmore golfers, and make their financial situa-tion worse.

Even after Plantation Palms Golf Club inLand O’ Lakes shut down in May, mainte-nance crews kept the course in mostly goodshape. However, when the workers stoppedcoming, the course fell into disrepair.

“After a matter of a couple months ofthat, it becomes completely unplayable,”Sanderson said. “You’ll lose the greens, andit’s not that you can just go back and mowit. You’ll have to replace it, and that couldcost you $1 million right there.”

Plantation Palms was put up for sale lastmonth for $1.2 million, considerably downfrom the $2.2 million MJS Golf Club LLCpaid for it in 2011.

Plantation Palms was one of many com-munities in the region, and in the country,anchored by golf courses. But that’s not hap-pening anymore. Some homeowners inPlantation Palms complained about the lossof home value, and many golf course design-ers have turned to Europe and Asia to buildnew courses, not finding any market in theUnited States.

But is golf fighting for its life? Sandersondoesn’t think so. It’s more about “rightingthe ship.”

“Golf is still strong, we just have toomuch product out there, too many coursesout there,” she said. “We definitely need togrow the industry from the standpoint ofthe younger generation, but we’re just shak-ing out some of the excess courses. Theones that survive are going to end up beinggood in the long run.”

By Helene RubensteinGrand Horizons

The summer months continue andactivities are starting to pick up. Theyare still going strong with the many cardgames, bingo, dominoes, mahjong andmuch more.

In a short time, art, pinochle andother activities also will be on the agen-da.

The summer months bring so manyof the people from Grand Horizons tothe pool to cool off and refresh them-selves. We had a pool party a little whileago, and that was a huge success. Fromwhat I heard, they had Wii Bowling inthe community center after the party.

They also are continuing taking thephotos of the residents to put in the new di-rectory that will be coming out shortly. Theytook several photos during the summermonths, and from what I understand, theywill be taking more in the followingmonths. So, for the people who have goneelsewhere during the summer, your chanceis coming. Do not despair, as you will alsoget an opportunity to have your picturetaken and put in the brand new telephonedirectory.

They still have the lunch connoisseursonce a month, and for the month of Augustthey went to the Olive Garden. Bill andPidge Elliott were the host and hostess forthis gathering, and they did a superb job.

I spoke to Bill and he mentioned thatwhile they were there previously, they knewwhat to ask for in the seating so peoplecould be comfortable and, therefore, get tomingle with everyone else. So, they endedup having several booths with about 26people altogether.

Everyone had a good time. I have gone tothe Olive Garden before and they have deli-cious dinners.

On Aug. 10, there was an ice cream so-cial. We have those several times in thewinter months, but it seems like it is always

on the calendar for the summer months.And I am so glad, as I understand the weath-er is so hot, humid and sticky they needsomething like this to cool off and look for-ward to.

I spoke to Judy Ellsworth, and she men-tioned that it was a very rainy day, so not asmany attended as had originally signed up.But they still had a nice turnout of 37 resi-dents. I think that sounds like a goodnumber to me.

There was lots of ice cream and home-made hot fudge for all. Just writing this, I cantaste the ice cream and the toppings. Yum.

Bill and Judy Ellsworth, and Steve andNancy Lay hosted the social with Mim andTerry Gardner helping out. So, our thanks goout to everyone who pitched in. It definitelywas appreciated.

As previously mentioned, GrandHorizons has a craft class, hosted by CherylLeone, once a week. Recently AnnmarieShackewyc stated that in the class, theypainted back paver doorstops and mosteveryone did them as animals. Annmarie cre-ated them as cute girls. Two girls were inpink while a third was in blue. The threegirls standing together created a nice con-trast.

By Lee HeffelfingerGem Estates

Some of you may remember when I wroteabout the alligator we had in the park. Wellnow we see coyotes roaming through thepark, as well.

Several people have seen evidence of thecoyotes, and some even took pictures ofthem during the day. We’re warning our resi-dents to keep their pets indoors or to beclose at hand when they go outside.

What’s next? One of our residents recentlyreturned from a fantastic two-fold trip toAnchorage, Alaska. Caroline Wagoner left fromTampa to Bakersfield, California, where shespent a week visiting her daughter, Yvonne.

From there, Caroline and Yvonne flew toAnchorage. There they were met by Caroline’sbrother in an authentic 1968 Volkswagen busrestored by her brother, Charles Bates and wifeLiz, who lived in Anchorage for many yearssince his stint in Vietnam.

Caroline was reminiscing about the won-derful time she had sightseeing in that VWbus.

The weather was wonderful with temper-atures in the mid 60s, even though it can goas low as in the 20s in winter days, whichmakes it perfect for skiing, skating or dogmushing. She explained how Anchorage ismore affordable than a lot of U.S. cities be-cause they have no sales tax.

Hundreds of bird species call Anchoragehome, such as loons, pintail ducks and terns.Potter Marsh also is a good spot for beaversand moose, which can be seen along the TonyKnowles coastal trail that stretches 11 milesalong Cook Inlet from downtown to KincaidPark.

She also saw terrific views along MountMcKinley and Mount Susitna, also known asSleeping Lady.

The day cruise she took was excitingwhen she heard a sharp crack followed by a

long rumble and suddenly there was a mas-sive piece of ice falling from the face of aglacier into the water below.

Among many of her highlights was theAlaska Native Heritage Center where you canhear storytelling, authentic song and danceroutines, and see finely made crafts by skillednatives.

There are so many terrific places to fish inthe area, and the drive north to Talkeetna willtake you by several good salmon spots. Thelargest salmon caught in Alaska weighed in at97 pounds, and the largest halibut was 459pounds.

There are five kinds of salmon — chub,sockeye, king, silver and pink. I knew of onlytwo, the king or red and the pink, because ofthe cans they come in.

They took a train ride to Talkeetna wherethey met the honorary mayor, a cat namedMr. Stubbs.

They went through the Whittier tunnel onthe way to Kenai Fjords National Park, andtook a 6.5-hour cruise and saw otters, fivehumpback whales, a pod of beluga whales,and lots of bird life. Caroline has told me shealready is planning to go back in two yearsand stay a little longer, but no matter howlong you stay, you can’t see it all. It’s just abeautiful state.

Now that September is here, we’re alreadylearning of several of our residents planningto return. It’s still mighty hot and August “dog”days were brutal, but you just can’t stay awayfrom Zephyrhills.

Loretta Green has returned from visitingfamily and friends in New York, and our presi-dent, Al Bennett, and wife Deanie are returningfrom Massachusetts in time to oversee con-struction of the addition to our clubhouse.

I missed a couple of August birthdays forVicki Bluhm and Brent Slipp. Sorry about that.September birthday wishes go out to MadelineMacomber, Carol Farnsworth and Ron Plummer.Please let me know if I missed anyone.
