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-west
corridor 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 future
development – 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 theTampa Bay Builders Association on Feb. 26.
Much of Pasco’s growth emerged fromdevelopment along U.S. 19 in PinellasCounty and from I-75 and U.S. 301 in

Multi-use trailbeing built on U.S. 301By Kathy [email protected]
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 opening forpedestrians and bicyclists, too. Work on the$12.5 million project should be finished byspring 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 to
having 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 a side-walk at Dade Avenue. Road paving willcover about 6 miles from Kossik to
Bougainvillea 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 with ex-isting and planned trail segments –

The scent of barbecue and the sounds ofbands belting out the blues aren’t the onlysweet things to come out of the fifth annualPigz in Z’Hills BBQ and Blues Fest at theZephyrhills Municipal Airport.
There’s also the money that the eventgenerates.
This year, the Greater ZephyrhillsChamber of Commerce handed out morethan $15,000 in donations to eight civicclubs and youth groups, thanks to moneyraised through the event. The donationsranged from $750 to $1,500.
The chamber also announced new schol-arships of $1,000 each for performing artsand culinary arts that will be presented totwo graduating Zephyrhills High School stu-dents in May.
“We are fortunate to have a communitythat embraces volunteer service and gratefulfor the enthusiasm by businesses and com-munity organizations that support thisevent,” said Vonnie Mikkelsen, the chamber’sexecutive director.
Groups that received the money are ex-cited about what it can do.
The YMCA of East Pasco will spend itsdonation to send four students and a super-visor to the YMCA’s Blue Ridge leadershipprogram in Black Mountain, North Carolinathis summer.
“It’s a huge event,” says AJ Hernandez, theEast Pasco YMCA’s program director. “It’s agreat opportunity for the kids to network.It’s a great learning experience.”
The students work year-round to collectfunds to pay for the trip with car washes,
drawings, dinner events and selling snacksat sports events.
The Zephyrhills Museum of MilitaryHistory, at 39444 South Ave., in Zephyrhills,
will be getting some display cases, man-nequins and other items to freshen up itslook, said Cliff Moffett.
“It’s going to be huge for us,” Moffettsaid. “We need a lot of stuff to make the mu-seum up-to-date and more modern.”
He thinks the museum visitors will enjoythe acquisitions.
Visitors, he said, “like to see something new.”The museum is open on Saturdays from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.It also hosts some special events. It had
an event on Dec. 7 to remember the daythat the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, onDec. 7, 1941. It is planning a similar event onJune 6, to honor D-Day in World War II.
About three-dozen members of theInteract Club at Zephyrhills High Schoolplan to pass on their donation to a localcharity at the end of the year. The club is thehigh school extension of the Noon RotaryClub of Zephyrhills.
Last year, the students donated funds toSunrise Domestic Violence Center, ThomasPromise Foundation, Habitat for Humanityand East Pasco Meals on Wheels. They usual-
ly visit and do volunteer service at area char-ities throughout the year before decidingwhich charities will receive donations.
“They gain a broader understanding ofthe needs that are out there,” said AmyChappell, the club’s advisor. She also serveson the chamber’s board of directors but noton the committee that awards the dona-tions. “Locally, it’s an eye opener to theneeds that are right here.”
In addition to local initiatives, club mem-bers reach out to global organizations thatwork on issues such as clean drinking waterand human trafficking. But, Chappell saidthe local volunteer work gives them aunique perspective.
“They see what a difference it canmake,” she said.
Other groups and organizations that re-ceived donations were the Pasco CountySheriff’s Mounted Posse, SunshineSwampers 4 x 4 Club Inc., Zephyr AirportCadet Squadron, Zephyrhills High SchoolDrama Club and Zephyrhills Army JROTC.
Nearly 10,000 people attended the bar-becue and blues event.

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.

On Feb. 28, about 90 people had a greatbreakfast of pancakes, sausage and Frenchtoast to start the day. I wasn’t there, but Iheard only good things about it. Peoplewere saying that the pancakes were fluffyand so tasty. I can just visualize them.
Later that night, our community centerhad a comedy night. Cheryl Leone was host-ed it and she brought in two videos of a liveperformance with Jeff Dunham and his
friends, in addition to some delicious pop-corn. I never saw Jeff Dunham before, andmy husband and I, plus the rest of the audi-ence, were in for a treat. The show was sofunny, and there were plenty of laughs circu-lating throughout the center. He did a finejob at ventriloquism and comedy. Theweather kept many people away, but theones who attended were glad they came.
On March 1, we had our secondVolunteer Appreciation Day. It started lastyear, and they hope to have it annually.
As we entered the community center, wefound a salad bowlwith fresh crispy saladto put in the bowl. Wethen had either lasagnaor spaghetti, whicheverwe wanted. Along withthe main course, wehad delicious garlicbread and meatballs.
Cheryl Leone andmany helpers hostedthis special day. Thehelpers consisted ofBill and Donna Quinn,Diane Keefe, ChuckCarlson, Carol Wilcox,Ken Leone, Clayton andCarol George, and quitea bit of additionalhelp. They did a greatjob, and we thank
them. Without the volunteers, our communi-ty would not be as wonderful as it is. Therewas a tremendous turnout of about 85 peo-ple who attended this function.
On March 3, there was a luncheon forthe men where they went to Hooter’s. Therewas much conversation and all had a verygood time. I don’t know what transpiredthere, but the guys came back in a verygood mood.
On the same day, several women were atO’ Brien’s. The ride to Plant City, where therestaurant is located, was a lovely ride on abeautiful day. The menu was quite varied,and the food was delicious.

It’s been a few weeks of extreme coldweather here at Gem Estates, and we certain-ly know why we come south for the winter.Looking at the streets, highways, stores andrestaurants, we know people have figuredthis out. A bit of cold doesn’t faze a lot ofpeople, because they are still doing the samethings they came south for —socializing,playing games, attending parties and, ofcourse, eating with friends and family.
Our recent bus trip with Road ReadyTours was a huge success. Fifty-three peoplegot to see the Mardi Gras parade from thestreet in front of the Beau Rivage Hotel andCasino in Biloxi, even though it was windyand bitter cold. They took advantage of
scrounging for the many beads thrown tothem, and there were hundreds of them. Thestreets were lined with people from every-where in the States as well as foreigncountries. The slot machines were kind to alot of folks, and they brought home morethan they left home with.
Here at Gem Estates, activities went onas usual: bingo, shuffleboard, bocce ball, eu-chre and marbles.
Bonnie Skidmore did an excellent job ofbringing entertainment to the park. About142 people attended, enjoyed Rich Wilson,and found him to be a delightful entertainer.He has a terrific voice and did great imita-tions of several singers. His rendition of Elviswas so perfect that with your eyes closed,you could almost believe it was Elvis. ThanksBonnie and your helpers, too.
Richard and Dea-Ann Burgess had daugh-ter Karen and Jeff Kerr visiting from Boston.With all the snow they are having there,they may have been forced to stay inZephyrhills a bit longer. Bill and DonnaEastman have their son Bob and Carie, plusgrandchildren Ella Rose and Wyett visiting,also. It sure keeps Donna hopping to keepup with the little ones. Such fun!
Monday night euchre game winners forthe ladies was Diane Reglin, visiting daugh-ter of Floyd and Beverly Becker.
Our Thursday Coffee and DoughnutsSocial was well attended, with 132 peopletaking part in the gathering, Prayers weresaid for Joyce Plummer, recovering from sur-gery with hopefully a speedy recovery, alsocelebrating a birthday. Happy Birthday wish-es go out to Joyce Knestaut, John Brogan,
Ginnie Zepp, Gerri Shields, Ellie Brookinsand Marlin Thomas.
Our president, Al Bennett, remindedeveryone about the Pasco County Sheriff’sproject “Operation Dark House,” a super pro-gram for the snowbirds as they leave theirhouses here in Zephyrhills to go north.
A member of the Sheriff’s Office will goaround the park checking for unlocked win-dows and doors, and making sureeverything is secured, alleviating a lot ofworry of things left behind until their returnin the fall. Everyone that wants to partici-pate must fill out a new form each year.
About 118 people enjoyed the baked beansupper that Ruth Hudson reported on. JimNagle is back again doing the pancake supperand breakfasts and is planning a corned beefand cabbage dinner for March 17.
Carolyn Wagoner promoted the ThomasPromise Pledge of supplying much-neededbreakfast and lunch packages for the school-children that are in need of assistance.

Our last show of the season was the RedHot and Blue Color Show. The lady had abeautiful voice that sang all types of musicfrom opera to pop, and her husband was agreat comedian that had us all laughing withhis part of the show.
She dazzled us with her beautiful gowns,and we had a treat when he was trans-formed from a long-haired sound man into ahandsome performer.
The show was well attended by our resi-dents.
A Carefree Got Talent Contest was held inour resort, so we could send the winner tothe finals at the Lakeland Center. We had fivecontestants, and all of them were reallygood.

The three judges were managers fromother Carefree Parks. The winner was thegroup of musicians made up of Doug andMary Sawyer, Jerry Cormier and RalphMcWilliams. The runner-up was KathyLeingaber.
Congratulations to all of them. They werereally great.
The entertainment for our Sunday nightice cream social were residents from our re-sort. Linda Luce was in charge, and hergroup put on a great show for us.
We have some great talented residentswho can sing, tell stories and jokes.

floors to the hospital’s center wing and anadditional three-story wing that will con-nect the south and center wings.
Altogether, it involves 111,993 squarefeet of new construction and 10,834 squarefeet of renovation.
The expansion includes added additionalemergency rooms, inpatient rooms, surgicalsuites and related surgical services, HeartCatheterization Lab, and recovery/observa-tion rooms as well as shelled space forfuture growth.
Construction is expected to begin this
summer, with the expansion opening at theend of 2016. A groundbreaking ceremony isscheduled for Aug. 5 at 10 a.m.
Maintaining the care and comfort of itspatients during the construction is the hos-pital’s top priority, Tracy Clouser, marketingdirector said, via email.
It expects to be able to do that becausethe hospital was built with expansion inmind, Clouser said, noting the patient careareas have a sound muffling system to helpreduce disturbance from noise, and thereare no air handlers on the roof, to make ex-pansion easier and less intrusive.
Since opening, the hospital has contin-ued to add new programs and services,
Clouser added.“The addition will allow us more oppor-
tunities to do that. One example of this is insurgery. With additional operating rooms, wewill be able to add additional physicians andexpand the types of surgery we can per-form,” she said.
Additionally, “the renovation will includemoving the caesarean section operatingroom to the third floor, expanding areas likepre-admission testing, waiting rooms andsterile supply. It will also include an expan-sion of our central energy plant to supportthe larger facility,” Clouser said.
Services at the hospital include an emer-gency department, cardiac care, vascular
surgery, orthopedics and sports medicine,women’s services and gynecology, obstet-rics, urology and nephrology, outpatientimaging, outpatient physical and occupa-tional therapy, The Center for Women’sHealth and a freestanding Health & WellnessCenter.
The hospital’s Wellness Plaza also housesoffices for primary care and specialty physi-cians.

Hillsborough County, Baker said.“People moved up here for quality of life
and 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 theproblem,” she said.
Hillsborough is dealing with its owngrowth 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 thanHillsborough to cover the costs of infra-
structure, such as roads and sewers, to sup-port 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.
including Hardy Trail in Dade City – to forma regional 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. to8 p.m. on March 12 at the City of ZephyrhillsCouncil Chambers, 5335 Eighth St.
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, Howell said.“They have nice rolling vistas and rollinghills, 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 late afternoon more residents showedup to walk or jog the trail either on theirown, 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, but forbusinesses 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 traveled road.”
Hand-in-hand with the repaving and trail,Dade City is beautifying U.S. 98 Bypass. Theapproximately $113,000 project is fundedwith about $26,000 from the FloridaDepartment of Transportation. The remain-der is from the city through the Penny forPasco 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 actuallyget in a car and drive over even though theycan see the park,” Howell said. “We’re tryingto avoid that by making a more robust trailsystem.”

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 Laker/Lutz News Staff Report
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.

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.
The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report
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.
