Controversy is swirling over the leader-ship of Pasco County’s 911 center, after adispatcher mishandled an emergency call re-garding a wrong-way driver on Interstate75.
Pasco County commissioners also saythat residents have reported instances ofdropped calls or unanswered calls to thecenter.
“I think it’s gotten to the point we needto think outside the box,” Pasco CountyCommissioner Mike Moore said during thecommissioners’ March 29 meeting.
Despite additional staff members work-ing at the center, Moore said, “There havebeen too many missteps.”
A solution could come at the commis-sioners’ April 12 meeting in Dade City, whenthe issue is expected to be reviewed again.
The center has been without a perma-nent director for about 18 months.
On two occasions, candidates backedaway. One cited family related reasons. Theother gave no reason.
The issue of who will lead the county’semergency center has evolved into a tusslebetween Pasco County Sheriff Chris Noccoand Pasco County Administrator MicheleBaker.
Baker and Nocco disagree over who

Dr. Timothy Beard, president of Pasco-Hernando State College, has been makingthe rounds to each of the college’s campus-es in a run-up to a formal celebration of hisinauguration as the college’s fourth presi-dent.
The events have had a different focus ateach campus, with the most recent event atthe Porter Campus at Wiregrass Ranch cen-tering on leadership development andcommunity engagement.
Before that panel discussion began, how-ever, Beard shared his vision for the collegeand talked about steps that are necessary to
ensure its graduates are ready for challengesthey will face.
The state college, formerly known asPasco-Hernando Community College, is 44years old, and has made its mark on the re-gion, Beard said. However, he added, “we
believe our best days are ahead of us.”Beard told those gathered that it’s impor-
tant to reach out to the community, and forthe community to reach out to the college.

PHSC aims to prepare globally astute graduates
By Kevin [email protected]
Land O’ Lakes resident LawrenceHoffman wants people to understand thatcops are “just like everybody else.”
Hoffman, a retired New York PoliceDepartment detective, recently released thebook “Turning Blue: A Life Beneath theShield.”
The title reflects the progression thathappens in the life of a police officer,Hoffman said.
“It’s just like if you become a doctor, andyou get a stethoscope and a jacket, does thatmake you a doctor? Not really,” he said. “It’s aprocess, and I call it ‘turning blue,’ where youlearn through your experiences.”
After 20 years on the force, Hoffman re-tired in 2004, and started writing about hisvast experiences.
“It took me a good 12 years to write,” hesaid. “It didn’t start out as a book; it just kindof morphed into it.”
“I wanted to let people know that there’sa life beneath the shield. The book is not real-ly about me, although it is.
“I didn’t think that my life was so greatthat people needed to know about me. Iused what I knew—what God gave me—which was my life,” he said.
Hoffman grew up as a fun-loving, middle-class kid from Long Island. His infatuationwith being in a uniform and being a part ofan organization gravitated him toward workfor the NYPD.
“I just thought how amazing that jobmust be; that’s really what I was fascinatedwith,” he said.
Patrolling the New York streets as ayoung officer was a culture shock, especiallywith the crack epidemic of the 1980s,Hoffman said.
“When I became a cop, I was throwninto this totally different world,” he said. ”Iwas working in Brooklyn back in the ’80swhen crack was so prevalent, and I felt a lotof resentment toward me for no reason,other than that I wore a uniform; that kind ofbothered me.”
The resentment he felt was one reasonHoffman decided to write the book. Hewanted to help readers understand the per-son behind the uniform.
“People form either their own opinion orthey form opinions from friends who’ve hadexperiences with the police,” Hoffman said.“I wanted to show that there’s a differentside. Underneath the uniform, we’re all pret-ty much the same. We all go through loss, wecry, we bleed. ...I wanted to put a face to theuniform.”
In the book, Hoffman details several ofhis experiences, including his very first day
on the job as a 24-year-old rookie officer.“I wanted you to know what it’s like the
first day you actually go on a foot post,” theretired detective said. “What is it like being acop to get a four-block post and ...you’re re-sponsible for anything that happens in thosefour blocks. Anybody that lives there, walksthere, drives through there, I’m responsiblefor, for eight hours. I have to protect andcare for those people, and it’s a lot of respon-sibility,” he said.
“I found myself just standing there, like,‘What do I do?’ Then the training starts tokick in,” Hoffman said.
In “Turning Blue,” he recollects his first ci-tation, his first arrest, a deadly shootout andwhat’s it like to cope with death— of bothcivilians and fellow officers.
“It’s not all running and gunning. I want-ed people to know a realistic view of whatbeing a cop is like,” Hoffman said, noting that
90 percent of police work is calm and reac-tive, while the other 10 percent is chaotic.
“This book is not, ‘Look at me, look athow great of a cop I am.’ It’s actually not thatat all,” Hoffman explained. “I put a little histo-ry in the book, so you learn. But, I wrote it asif you were there standing next to me. Iwant you to see what I saw, feel what I feltand smell what I smelt.”
That includes bringing readers into theevents of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in
Hoffman bioLawrence Hoffman worked for the NewYork Police Department from 1984 to 2004.After retiring, he moved to Land O’ Lakeswith his wife, Jeanette. He now works inthe public safety field, and is also pursuinghis dreams of being an actor.

Panel offers insights for job seekersBy B.C. [email protected]
If you’re looking for work, advice provid-ed by participants at a recent paneldiscussion at Porter Campus at WiregrassRanch may come in handy.
The group was assembled as a part of aseries of activities leading up to the inaugu-ration of Dr. Timothy Beard as the fourthpresident of Pasco-Hernando State College.
The panelists were Greg Lenners, generalmanager at The Shops atWiregrass; Tracy Clouser, di-rector of marketing atFlorida Hospital WesleyChapel; Hope Allen, presi-dent and CEO of TheGreater Wesley ChapelChamber of Commerce; Dr.Dennis Feltwell, an assistantprofessor of humanities atPorter Campus; CarinHetzler-Nettles, principal at Wesley ChapelHigh School; and Denise Savolidis, a studentat the college.
Dr. Bonnie Clark, provost at the PorterCampus moderated the panel, and Beard oc-casionally weighed in on the discussion.
Clark asked the panelists what qualitiesthey seek in potential employees.
“Commitment and initiative are probablytwo of the most important attributes that Ilook at,” Lenners said.
Experience is important at FloridaHospital Wesley Chapel, but so is culture fit,Clouser said.
The hospital is seeking employees whowill be highly engaged, Clouser added.
“There are a lot of studies that showhighly engaged employees deliver better re-sults, and that’s across industries. Gallup has
researched this in all kinds of industriesacross the world. So, in health care, thatmeans better outcomes for our patients. Wecouldn’t ask for anything more than that,right?” Clouser said.
Intangible qualities are important, too,Clouser said.
“I can teach processes. I can’t teach in-nate things like integrity,” she said.
Being able to deal with multiple peopleis important, too.
Allen said she doesn’t hire employees,
but routinely works with scores of business-es at the chamber.
Successful companies share commontraits, Allen said.
“The passion has to be there. You have toknow your business.
“You can make the best cookies in theworld, but if you can’t market those cook-ies, and you can’t do your books and youcan’t find the right people … your businessis not going to be successful,” Allen said.
Students graduating from college need“resilience and adaptability,” Feltwell said.
Having the capacity to relate to others isessential, too, he said. “That involves inter-personal communications, culturalcompetence, all sorts of things that will helpyou deal with different people in differentsituations,” he said.
“You’ll pick up a lot of different accentsfrom different people, you’ll pick up differ-ent situations, different manners of talkingand thinking, and speaking,” he said.
Being able to relate to people from di-verse backgrounds “doesn’t mean that youknow everything the cultures of other peo-ple, but you’re open,” Feltwell said.
Having relevant skills is important,Clouser said.
“Typically, businesses are moving at thespeed of light. They’re running a hundred
miles an hour,” she said.The more skilled new hires are, she said,
“the faster they’re going to hit the groundrunning and be able to make an impact onyour business.”
As a high school principal, Hetzler-Nettlessaid she hires employees, while at the sametime preparing students for graduation.
The key is connecting with students, andalso with staff, to help them identify theirpassions and develop leadership skills, shesaid.
“What I most look for in employees andwhat we constantly try to teach children aregrit and perseverance, which, in my mind,can get you through anything,” Hetzler-Nettles said.
Savolidis said internships are importantbecause they help students to develop
skills, and also help people to figure out ifthey’re on the right career path.
Students need hands-on experiences, inaddition to book work, she said.
Feltwell agreed: “Part of the educationalprocess is learning what each person canbecome excellent at doing.”
Being willing to seek help is important,too, Allen said.
“If you need something, just ask some-body. You have no idea what they’re goingto say. The worst possible thing they can say
is no,” Allen said.It’s also important to be
careful with social media,Lenners and Clouser said.
Employers look atprospective employees’ so-cial media postings, Lennerssaid.
“Think of social media asan extension of yourbrand,” Clouser said. “Be
careful what you post on your social mediapages. It is out there. It does reflect on you.”
While it’s great if you know your careerpath when you’re young, it’s OK if youdon’t, Lenners said. “I didn’t start doing whatI’m doing until I was 33.”
Be willing to take risks, Lenners added.Savolidis agreed: “My middle name is risk.
I took a huge risk going back to school.“You have to believe in yourself,”
Savolidis added, noting she’s not a typical21-year-old college student. “Put yourselfaround people who also believe in you, andthey will encourage you when you thinkyou can’t go on any farther. You’ve just gotto do it. You just have to do it,” she said.
And, she’s doing just that.“December, I will graduate,” Savolidis
said.
“You can make the best cookies in the world, but if you can’t market those cookies, and you can’t do your books and you can’tfind the right people … your business is not going to be successful.”— Hope Allen, president and CEO of The Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce

It is not length of life, but depth of life. ~Emerson Ralph Waldo
Q. What is a second right (of interment)?
There are times when a cus-tomer owns burial rights to eithera ground plot or a mausoleumcrypt, and in addition to the fullbody interment, cremains aredesired to be placed with the fullbody. Depending on the size ofthe urn, and amount of availablespace in the ground or crypt, weallow for such a placement ofcremains, via what is termed asecond-right of interment.
In certain cases for example, acouple may decide to purchase afull body plot in one of our gar-dens, with the intent of havingboth individuals cremated andinterred in the single full bodyplot. In that case they would pur-chase a space, and incur twoopening and closing charges, and
need a second right of intermentfor the second person to beplaced in the single full-bodyspace.
Same goes for the mausoleumcrypts. However, it is importantto purchase an urn that will fit inthe limited space available afterthe full body entombment hasoccurred. In the case wheresomeone has been buried fullbody, and later the decision ismade to place cremains in thesame spot, we are careful tocheck to ensure there is enoughsoil above the vault for the urnvault placement. An urn vault isused to provide long-term stabili-ty in the soil, as many urns candeteriorate over time if exposedto open soil.

Coast to Coast Connector Trail skips PascoBy Kathy [email protected]
Pasco County won’t be part ofthe state’s Coast to CoastConnector Trail, but efforts areexpected to continue to includethe county in future projects.
The Florida Department ofTransportation is opting for anorthern trail route that windsthrough Hernando and Sumtercounties and the city of Websterfor the Coast to Coast ConnectorTrail, known as the C2C trail.
The department of transporta-tion rejected alternate southernroutes that would have passedthrough Pasco County, citing safe-ty and relocation issues, andenvironmental concerns.
State officials also said a south-ern route would add about nineadditional miles to the C2C trail,which would boost constructioncosts.
About 80 people attended thelast of three public meetings,hosted by the the state trans-portation department on April 7.Other meetings were in Sumterand Hernando counties.
Many came away from theApril 7 meeting disappointed that the trailwon’t pass through a single Pasco town orcity.
“It’s so important to us, not only as a des-tination, but for economic impact to thecommunity and tourism,” said Dade CityMayor Camille Hernandez.
Transportation officials and their consult-ant, Orlando-based VHB, conducted afeasibility study for what is known as theSouth Sumter Connector Trail, the largest re-maining segment of the C2C trail. The studylooked at three northern routes throughHernando and Sumter counties, and twosouthern routes through Pasco and Sumter.
The purpose of the project is to build atrail segment connecting the GoodNeighbor Trail to the South Lake and JamesA. Van Fleet trails.
It would fill the gap in the C2C trail link-
ing Pinellas County in the west withBrevard County in the east.
Pasco County Chairwoman KathrynStarkey also suggested another alternative,which would tie in the cities of Webster,Lacoochee, Trilby and Dade City. That pro-posal was not part of the study, which willconclude in June.
The transportation department’s pre-ferred route would cost about $21.4million. The southern routes would costabout $25 million to $27 million.
The next phase is an approximately two-year study of environmental andengineering issues that would begin in late2016 or early 2017. The trail then would bedesigned, right of way secured and, finally,construction would begin.
The entire process is likely to take multi-ple years.
Hernandez and others plan to keep lob-bying for the entire Pasco community inthis and future projects.
Constructions of several trails or linkswith existing trails are in the works inPasco, and also between Pasco and PinellasCounty. They eventually will link with theSuncoast Trail and Hernando. A multi-usetrail beside U.S. 301 is planned as a futurelink for the Hardy Trail, in Dade City.
Dade City council members were sched-uled, on April 12, to consider a lettersupporting Starkey’s proposed route, as wellas a connector loop suggested by PascoCounty Commissioner Ted Schrader. That ac-tion was slated for consideration after TheLaker/Lutz News’ press time.
The letter, which would be sent to statetransportation officials, also will request thatdirectional signage be installed at the Good
Neighbor Trail to let bicyclistsknow of trails available in Pasco.
Dade City resident MarkPinson is heading up a petitiondrive to gather signatures favor-ing a trail that would includeDade City and other Pasco desti-nations.
“Bikers want destinations,”Pinson said. “Dade City is a greatdestination. You want a place toeat and have a cup of coffee.”
Several trails come close toDade City, but they don’t con-nect, he said.
Hundreds of bicyclists flockto Dade City and San Antonio toenjoy scenic rides, he added.
Brooksville resident ArtFrassrand checked out proposedroutes on a display map prior tothe transportation department’sslide show, and listened to DavidWilliams, a planning manager forthe department, as he explainedthe agency’s decision process.
“This is easily the most feasi-ble route,” Williams said. “It’s alot easier right-of-way wise. Wewon’t take as much frontage.”
Frassrand wasn’t persuaded.“I think the southern route is
the best,” Frassrand said.It would trail through the Withlacoochee
State Forest, and offer “the prettiest views,”he said.
Williams said forestry officials weren’t infavor of the C2C going through the state for-est. He also noted hunters who said a bicycletrail would disrupt their hunting season.
However, Frassrand said bicyclists sharethe forest with hunters now for off-road ordirt bike riding.
Pinson said the northern route followedalong busy highways.
“It’s probably a more unsafe route forbikers,” he said.
The extra nine miles that bothered trans-portation officials wouldn’t be an issue forbike riders, especially those planning anacross-the-state jaunt, Pinson said.
“This is the prettiest nine miles of thewhole trip,” he said.

Organizers say thistour is first of its kindin Pasco CountyBy B.C. [email protected]
When the Spitlers moved into theirhome in Land O’ Lakes, its landscape wasdevoid of native plants and wildlife.
That was before Jonnie Spitler joined theNature Coast Chapter of the Florida NativePlant Society and began changing things up.
Now, her yard is among seven sites in-cluded in what she calls Pasco County’s firstNative Garden Tour.
The tour, organized by the Nature CoastChapter, gives visitors a chance to see nativeplants in a variety of landscapes and to seehow they support wildlife.
Spitler, president of the chapter, hopesthe tour will increase her organization’smembership and will result in more nativeplants being added to the local landscape.
That’s important, Spitler said, because asmore development occurs in Pasco County,steps must be taken to support bees, butter-flies, birds and other creatures that rely on
native plants.The Land O’ Lakes woman is wild about
her garden.“When you have a native plant garden —
and you walk through your garden — everysingle day is different. Something else isblooming. Something shows up in a placethat you didn’t expect it to show up.
“There are native bees, there are some
beautiful iridescent green bees that I’veseen that I never saw before, that haveshown up in the yard,” Spitler said.
A walk around her property offers gar-dening enthusiasts plenty of ideas.
Along the edge of her front yard, she’splanted flea bane, a plant some people viewas a weed, while others see as a wildflower.
There’s rosin weed, sporting a bright yel-low bloom.
She’s enthusiastic about rosin weed: “It’sa wonderful plant. It grows almost all yearlong, and it is native and it flowers almost allyear.”
Other plants around her front, side andback yards include coontie, coreopsis, fire-bush, coral honeysuckle and passion vine, toname just a few. There’s a winged elm treeand a fringe tree, too.
Her coral honeysuckle is her pride andjoy.
“It brings in the hummingbirds. It can begrown any way — on a pole, on a trellis, al-lowed to grow as ground cover.
“I think everyone should have a coralhoneysuckle somewhere in their yard, on alittle pole.”
She’s creative.Instead of using mulch at the base of a
tree, she’s planted wild petunia, a plant shedescribes as “a lovely, low-growing groundcover.”
Her Simpson’s Stopper, she said, pro-duces beautiful white, aromatic flowers.“As soon as the white flowers bloom, thebees will be all over it. Then, it has redberries, and birds will land and eat all of theberries,” she said.
She also has a wild lime — a host plantfor the giant swallowtail butterfly.
And, bees buzz happily around her sun-shine mimosa.
The tour stops offer gardening enthusi-
asts a chance to see native plants in a vari-ety of settings. One stop, in Odessa, featuresa wild habitat at a concrete company.
Another showcases a native plant gardenin a gated subdivision.
Another is a hideaway location, off thesouth branch of the Anclote River, which in-cludes a stand of cypress in a variety ofwoodsy landscapes.
A fourth site features a former orangegrove that’s been replaced by 200 nativetrees.
The fifth site features a wildlife corridor,created in the midst of a subdivision.
Spitler’s garden is the sixth site on thetour.
At the last one is a wildflower nursery,where people can purchase some of theplants they’ve seen during the tour.

should appoint the center’s leader, and howthe county and sheriff’s office will divide re-sponsibility for the center.
The county and the sheriff’s officebegan consolidating their emergency re-sponse operations into one center in 2013.
Nocco and Baker each fired off letters tothe Pasco County commissioners after asometimes heated discussion at the com-missioners’ March 29 meeting.
At that meeting, Moore invited Nocco topresent recommendations to be put to animmediate vote.
“We all want to find a solution,” Noccosaid.
He proposed promoting Lt. Dan Olds tothe position of director of the emergencycenter, and letting Pasco Fire & Rescuename one of its supervisors as assistant di-rector.
Olds currently serves as the center’s as-sistant director for public safetycommunications, which includes the con-solidated 911 center.
Jody Kenyon has served as acting direc-tor, pending the hiring of a permanentdirector. He began serving in October 2014,soon after Dona Fernandes resigned fromthe job.
Baker objected to Nocco’s proposal. Shesaid the matter “needs a more detailed con-versation.”
Pasco County Commissioner TedSchrader backed Baker.
“This is an important issue,” he said.“There’s a lot of us that haven’t had thebenefit of all the facts.”
Pasco County Commissioner KathrynStarkey agreed that a vote should not betaken on something commissioners havenot seen.
Schrader urged Nocco to meet withBaker to discuss the matter.
Nocco said his staff members wouldmeet with Baker, but he would not.
“When trust is an issue, that’s a prob-lem,” Nocco said.
Nocco sent a letter two days later toStarkey and the board, again laying out hissolution.
Nocco’s letter states that he has metwith Baker multiple times on the issue and“she has failed to provide any solutions for
the Center.”On March 31, Baker sent a lengthy letter
to the commissioners, responding to Noccoand outlining three options for hiring a di-rector for the emergency center.
In her letter, Baker objected to what shecharacterized as the sheriff’s “inaccuraciesand half-truths.”
Baker states there haven’t been multiplemeetings, and Nocco’s refusal to meet withher are what have prompted issues abouttrust.
“I am concerned that his delegates areeither misunderstanding or misrepresentingour conversations,” Baker wrote.
Baker contends that Olds doesn’t meetminimum requirements established by thecenter’s consolidation board.
Baker also notified commissioners thatshe was removing Kenyon as acting direc-tor. He remains as technical servicesmanager. She appointed newly-hiredEmergency Management Director KevinGuthrie to take on additional duties as act-ing public safety communications director.
In her letter, Baker noted that Guthriesupervised both emergency managementand emergency communications in FlaglerCounty before being hired by Pasco.
In a second letter to commissioners,dated April 1, Nocco gave “conditional ac-ceptance” to Guthrie, if he is appointedpermanently and serves solely as the cen-ter’s director.
Baker is expected to recommend threeoptions on April 12.
• The county has full responsibility forthe center, with the county administratorhiring the director, with commission ap-proval.
• The sheriff hires a director and takesresponsibility of the center. The countywould appoint the assistant director, and setup an enterprise budget to track expendi-tures.
• The center would be under control ofthe Consolidated Communications Board,which would select an executive directorand other management positions.Employees and support services would beunder contract with the county.
Baker also noted: “I remain willing totransfer responsibility and authority of theentire (Consolidated CommunicationsCenter) to the Sheriff, if that is the Board’sdesire.”
2001.“That was a horrific day, and I try to de-
scribe it as best as I could,” he said. “Thesmell was...I couldn’t compare it to any-thing. I just imagine that’s what the devil’sbreath must smell like, which is what Inamed that chapter.”
After two decades of police work,Hoffman knew when it was time to retirewhile he was working a major drug case inthe Dominican Republic.
“I remember sitting in an interview... andmy mind was wandering,” he said. “I wenthome and looked at myself in the mirror,and got a good look at my face, and I couldsee the lines, my hair was getting gray... andthought, ‘It’s time; I’m ready to go.’ I hadenough.”
If he could do it all over again, Hoffmansaid he’d still pursue law enforcement, butprobably would have tried to work for thefederal government, such as the Drug
Enforcement Agency, the Federal Bureau ofInvestigation or the Bureau of Alcohol,Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
“I loved the job, but I think maybe work-ing with the feds would be very interesting,”he said, noting they get to travel abroad andwork on enthralling cases.
“I miss the clowns, but not the circus. Iwas very fortunate to work with some ofthe greatest detectives and cops,” Hoffmansaid.
He noted the dynamics of being a cop in2016 is vastly different than when he wasworking in the ’80s and ’90s.
“Nowadays, with everybody having aphone and a camera...I find it’s very difficultfor officers,” he said. “They have to be verycareful what they do, because people willtake a clip and cut it down, and you’ve got30 seconds of a clip — they get judged bythat.”
For those considering a career in law en-forcement, Hoffman has a piece of advice.
“If you find one gun, look for two. If youfind two guns, you look for three,” he said.
“We’ve learned over the years in order tobe effective and efficient as a public institu-tion, we all need each other,” Beard said. “Atthe end of the day, we want our students tobe successful. We want our students to beable to complete whatever they started.”
The college wants to prepare students“who are globally astute,” Beard said. It alsowants them “to be able to imagine, achieveand succeed,” he said. “In other words, wewant them to be able to dream.
“This vision doesn’t happen in a vacu-um. It needs fuel. It needs energy,” he said.
The college delivers its instructionthrough online learning, face-to-face instruc-tion and through a hybrid approach, Beardsaid.
It is aiming to increase its college com-pletion rates by 50 percent within the nextfive to 10 years, Beard said.
“College readiness is big piece of whatwe do. We have very strong partnershipswith Pasco and Hernando public schools,with USF (the University of South Florida)and Saint Leo University,” Beard said.
“We serve a purpose in making sure thatstudents have the right to a public educa-tion. So, we want to make sure thateducation is affordable. We want to makesure it is accessible. And, we want to makesure our students are successful,” he said.
“We take great pride in being the greatdemocratizer of education — meaningwe’re willing to give students not just a sec-ond and third, but a fourth and fifth chance.”
The college also wants to help close the
American skills gap, Beard said.“Companies want to come here. They
want to do business with us. No. 1, theywant to make sure we have a skilled work-force,” he said.
“We have companies that are calling usevery day to ask us, ‘Do you have studentsor graduates who can go to work for us?’”Beard added.
So, the college is playing “a very vital rolein making sure we can produce studentswith industry certifications, AS (Associate ofScience) degrees, students who can go towork to make a difference in our work-force,” Beard said.
“We want every student in this countythat at least by age 20, 21, they have sometype of credential – a certification, an AS de-gree, a BS (Bachelor of Science) degree,”Beard said.
He also asked for continuing support ofthe college’s efforts.
“We know we can’t do it alone,” Beardsaid.

Freedom High names new football coachBy Kevin [email protected]
A former longtime Tampa Bay area foot-ball coach has been hired to lead theFreedom High Patriots program in 2016.
Floyd Graham, a former head coach atboth Steinbrenner High (2009-2011) andNewsome High (2004-2005), was named asthe Patriots’ new head football coach onApril 1.
He replaces Todd Donohoe, who wasfired after compiling a 15-25 combinedrecord in four seasons. The team finishedthe 2015 season with a 3-7 record.
Graham most recently was a defensiveline coach at Carroll High School in Ozark,Alabama. He stepped down at Steinbrennerin 2012 to help take care of his cancer-stricken mother in Alabama, who passedaway in January.
“Tampa’s basically my second home, be-cause I was there for so many years. My wifeand I were real happy when we were atSteinbrenner,” Graham said.
“It was always in our mind to comeback.”
With many new head coaching hiresmade in January or February, Graham willhave to make a quick turnaround to imple-ment his program and coaching philosophy.
While it may be a disadvantage to start thejob in the spring, it doesn’t compare to whatGraham was forced to do at both Newsomeand Steinbrenner high schools, where hebuilt the football teams from scratch.
“To me, it’s already a luxury that we’ve al-ready got all of our helmets, we’ve alreadygot all of our equipment, we’ve already gotcoaches on staff and the kids have alreadybeen lifting,” Graham said. “I’ve been in situa-tions where we’ve been so disadvantaged orwere already fighting uphill that right now,this is something that’s going to be differentand less challenging.
“It’s going to be exciting to go into an al-ready established program with athletes that
have been doing something for awhile andhave been together for awhile,” he added.“It’s not one of these things where we’retrying to build an identity, so I’m real excit-ed about that.”
Graham’s first day on the job will beApril 18, where his first duties will includekeeping the current assistant coaching stafftogether and overseeing offseason workoutsfor Patriots players. He also plans to bringone of his former assistants at Steinbrenner,
Cedric Roberts, in to coach defensive backs.Graham has leafed through the roster
and watched some game film on last year’ssquad. He’s already noticed one team qualitythat gives him confidence in the team’s out-look for success.
That quality is speed, Graham said, with atinge of glee in his voice. “They have atremendous amount of potential. The ath-letes are there. The kids are there. It’s justthat we have to start them at a young ageand keep them on the right track. As long asthey buy in and believe in us in what we’retrying to do, it will happen.”
As Graham tries to boost Freedom’srecord in the win-loss column, he will haveto make sure he can keep his player’s aca-demically eligible.
“We’re going to put academics first, be-cause the bottom line is my job is to try tocreate better men, which will create betterfathers and husbands,” he said.
“That’s what I try to do, and we’re goingto take every step that we can to make ithappen.”
Perhaps what excites Graham the mostis the opportunity to transition a downtrod-den team into a superior one.
“The process is fun,” he said. “You canwin all kinds of games, and you can lose allkinds of games. But, the process of makingsomething from nothing and making thosekids — that come in as ninth-graders —where they leave playing and understandingthe game and being a better man, that’swhat’s fun.”

After five seasons at the helm, Sunlakesoftball coach Nelson Garcia finally has “thesystem” in place.
That system has helped guide theSeahawks to their best record (16-8) since2012 (17-6), Garcia’s first season as coach.That year, he had the fortune of leading ateam that featured several standouts withpost-secondary softball talent — StephanieFrancis (Jacksonville University), CourtneyDurbin (Rollins College) and AmySzymanowski (Florida State University).
Rebuilding years in 2013 (9-11) and2014 (9-16) have paved the way for a teamthat currently stands at 15-8 and recentlyclinched the No. 2 seed for the Class 7A,District 10 tournament.
Despite a key injury to an already youth-ful pitching staff, the Seahawks have stayedafloat with a potent lineup that has a com-bined .393 batting average and .479 on-basepercentage.
With a bevy of .400 hitters, includingone of the area’s top power threats in seniorGianna Basilone, Garcia likens the stackedorder to those of the old New York Yankeeteams, where opposing pitchers are worndown by the time they’ve gotten throughthe lineup.
“I like to try to do to people what theYankees used to do from a few years ago,”he said. “I want them to be tired by the timethey get through our order. Then we can gosmall ball.”
A combination of an offseason weighttraining program and “a lot of detail work”including station-to-station hitting drills hasfacilitated an increase in the team’s offen-sive output.
“The biggest thing is the team has got tobuy into the program, and they’ve got to re-ally want to be there,” Garcia said. “And thisgroup, this is probably the best. They’ve real-ly all gelled together.”
Facing some of the top teams within thedistrict — Mitchell and Osceola — and out-side the district — Land O’ Lakes andGulf— has battle-tested Garcia’s group for adeep playoff run.
“We try to keep the attitude of: ‘Whoevershows up on the other side of the dugout,that’s the one we want to beat,’” he said.
“I think we can compete against anyone,especially if we’re playing our game.”
For Garcia, “playing our game” meanseveryone on the roster handles the job theyare assigned, whether that’s making plays inthe field, laying down a bunt to move a run-ner over or driving in runs.
The Seahawks are getting hot at the righttime, and could be poised to be a bigger
threat than just a few weeks ago as a previ-ously injured pitcher returns to the startingrotation.
Freshman pitcher Morgan Boudreau wasslated to be the team’s second arm in the ro-tation alongside sophomore workhorseMariah Melendez (2.94 ERA in 21 starts),until she broke her ankle during a presea-son game.
“That changed a lot of things,” Garcia saidabout Boudreau’s absence. “The pitchingstaff was supposed to be a little different.We had two very good pitchers coming in,
...and she was also supposed to be our start-ing first baseman.”
“We’ve taken adversity and have donewell with it,” he added.
