Pasco calls for civil campaign behavior
By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com
The Pasco County Commission has amended its Ethical Campaign Practices Act to encourage civility among candidates. Commissioners voted unanimously on Jan. 21 to support changes suggested by Pasco County Supervisor of Elections Brian Corley. Corley said the changes incorporate “lan-
guage that speaks to civility in the public discourse for candidates running for office within Pasco County. “In essence, this ordinance is a plea for civility, if you will, amongst those running for office in our great county,” Corley said, noting the changes update an ordinance initially adopted in 2006. Corley noted:“It’s not solely my request, but more importantly, rather something the
voters not only want but deserve, and have asked for many times to me, personally. “Many voters have relayed that they tire of the toxicity and lack of decorum among campaigns and candidates. So, that’s what’s the driving force is behind this.” Agreeing to abide by the Pasco Ethical Campaign Practices Act is voluntary, but See CAMPAIGN, page 15A

Charter school coming to Epperson By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com
A K-8 charter school could open as early as this fall in Epperson, if all goes according to plan. The Pasco County School Board has approved an agreement with Metro Apple LLC and Red Apple Development LLC — known collectively as the developer — for a charter school that is planned on the east side of Curley Road. Details regarding the school are spelled out in the agreement. Plans call for a two-story school of approximately 55,000 square feet, that will be built on a site of about 8 acres to 10 acres. The charter school will have a capacity of 765 students. The proposed concept for the school is based on the acronym of W.I.S.H., which stands for Wellness, Innovation, Science and Health. The aim is to open the school for the 2020 school year.

This all-female Pasco County adopts rental registry ordinance barbershop group By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com
Pasco County has adopted an ordinance requiring owners of rental properties and vacant properties to register them. The idea is to give the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office a way to find out who owns a property, or who’s authorized to be on it, when they’re called to a scene. It also will give county officials information they need to pursue code violations, when a structure is becoming a hazard, property is littered with trash, weeds are overgrown and so forth. Commissioners voted unanimously in favor of the new tool. Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco applauded commissioners, noting the registry will help residents who have been dealing with nearby crime and other issues resulting from problem properties. “They can’t sleep at night.They can’t let
their kids out at night.This is something that will help them bring back their neighborhoods,” Nocco said. The ordinance notes that commissioners recognize that vacant properties and the condition of many rental properties “lead to a decline in community and property value; create nuisances; lead to a general decrease in neighborhood and community aesthetic; create conditions that invite criminal activity; and foster an unsafe and unhealth environment.” The ordinance also notes that while the total number of homes have increased, the total number of homesteaded properties has declined. The registry will give the county and Sheriff’s Office a reliable way to communicate with others when properties are “abandoned, neglected, or left unsupervised, or when tenants/occupants are violating See RENTAL, page 15A

They hail from Michigan and Maine, New York and Canada. Some live in East Pasco year-round. They bring a cohesive, professional sound, but the female barbershop group See BARBERSHOP, page 15A

Inspiring others with lyrical rhymes By Brian Fernandes bfernandes@lakerlutznews.com
In celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Saint Leo University added a hip-hop element — showcasing the rapper Duke. The Jan. 21 event was a part of the school’s weeklong series, recognizing the iconic civil rights leader. Duke shared his story and inspirational words – sometimes conveyed through rap lyrics. He noted his lyrics often are influenced by the words of the slain civil rights leader, the nation pauses to remember each year. “He always tried to approach it from a positive light, and that really influenced me and my work,” he said. Duke, born Bunduki Ramadan, said even before he was born, adversities have influenced his life, and those experiences led to his rap career. His mother was still pregnant with him when his family fled during a civil war, from their native Sudan to Egypt. Because of birth complications, Duke was pronounced dead upon delivery, but then was revived. “By the grace of God, the baby gasps and begins to cry.That baby, that baby was me. That was my first time beating the odds,” he told those gathered. The difficult birth, however, resulted in a health disorder that limited the use of his right arm. His family relocated from Egypt to Jacksonville, Florida, where he grew up. His brush with death, coupled with the encouragement of his parents, compelled him to push forward, despite his disability, the 27-year-old said. Music has been a focal point in his life. It started with his first attempt at rapping, during fifth grade. Over the years, he has drawn inspiration from other hip-hop artists, such as Tupac Shakur, Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West. Besides enjoying the art form, Duke said it has been a therapeutic source for channeling his frustration. Among other kids at school, he said, he felt like an outsider, being “caught up in the

gray middle.” Duke noted that at times he was picked on for his dark skin complexation. During a rap intermission, he explained the range of emotions felt when faced with bullying. In one verse, he rhymes: “Cool on the surface, but it’s like the oven on.”
He went on:“Music has such a strong impact on your mood, your mentality and your mindset.” Likening music to food, he cautioned the audience to be selective with what they consume. He also touched on education. He told Saint Leo students that by being
at the university, they’ve already beaten the odds. He attended the University of Florida, majoring in economics. After graduating, he received several lucrative job opportunities. But, he turned them down. “My dream was to pursue my music and be able to use that as a tool to motivate people,” Duke explained. Eventually, he moved to Atlanta to pursue that dream. He fell upon some hard times, financially. At one point, he was sleeping in his car. In one of his song’s, he poses this question:“Now am I really selling my soul, or am I doing what I got to do to get to the goal?” By working consistently in a music studio and forming new connections, he was able to build a name as a rap artist, he recalled. Now, he performs hip-hop shows several times a month across the nation. Delivering motivational speeches at schools also is on his agenda. He has built clientele through his own marketing agency. He described his success in another song — getting the audience to rap along. The audience repeated the lyrics, as Duke rhymed:“I got some food on my plate, thank God. I got some money in the bank, thank God. My whole family is straight, thank God.” He references Dr. King’s legacy as hope that each coming generation will struggle less than the one before it. In his acclaimed 1963 speech,“I Have a Dream,” King said:“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Duke said he’s seen some progress. He said he would like to start a family one day, and he believes his children won’t have to face the same prejudice he experienced. Duke said there’s power and value in gratitude. “I want people to be grateful for what they have now,” Duke said.“Being grateful for what you have now is what paves the way for you to have more in the future.”

If you’ve ever wondered what that family heirloom quilt is worth, you can find out at the 30th Annual Farm Fest and Quilt Show in Dade City. Those attending the event can find out the value of their quilt from Brenda Grampsas, a quilt historian.Verbal appraisals cost $20 and written ones cost $50. But, that’s just one of the activities planned for the show set for Feb. 1 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Pioneer Florida Museum and Village, 15602 Pioneer Museum Road in Dade City. Visitors also can bring in quilts to put on display. And, they can purchase a ticket to take part in a chance drawing to win a quilt, too. At noon, spectators can see a demonstration of strength, as teams of draft horses compete to see which can pull the
heaviest weight. And, of course, there will be opportunities to buy items from numerous vendors, offering crafted items and food. There also will be demonstrations of dollmaking, and of the process of turning sugar cane into syrup. The event also features plenty of ways for kids to have fun, including face painting and barrel train rides. Live music will be offered by The Barking Dogs and the Dulcimer Connection, and for those who want to check out the museum, tour guides will be there to share their knowledge. Parking is free and guests are welcome to bring lawn chairs for the horse competition. Admission is $10 for age 13 and up; $5 for ages 5 to 12; and free for those under 5. Admission includes the museum tour. For more information, call (352) 5670262, or visit PioneerFloridaMuseum.org.

CORLEY ISSUES WARNING Pasco County Supervisor of Elections Brian Corley has issued a warning that The Voter Participation Center (VPC) again has launched a voter registration mail campaign targeting Pasco County voters, according to a news release from Corley’s office. The mail campaign contains “inaccurate information that is often alarming and confusing,� the release says. Previously, these mailings “have been sent to family members who are deceased, their pets and underage children, and adult children who no longer reside or never resided in the household or the state of Florida,� the release adds. “The mailings that reach eligible voters often arouse suspicion because they are already registered and feel that their registration has somehow been compromised,� the release continues. Corley also noted that “VPC has also begun text messaging voters in advance of the mailing using an outdated list of phone numbers.We have already received reports that the messages are addressed to people who no longer have the phone number.� The supervisor of elections also observed:“Our experience has been that VPC tactics further erode voter confidence at a time when the security of our elections is in the forefront. Please know that these organi-
zations are in no way affiliated with my office.� Pasco voters can register online at https://registertovoteflorida.gov/en/Regis tration/Index.They also can update their status there, too. They can check their voter registration status online at https://registration.elections.myflorida.com/CheckVoterStatus For additional information or assistance, call (800) 851-8754.

ICI Homes Has Beautiful Inventory Homes Ready Now In Asturia And Bexley
I
CI Homes, one of Florida’s most innovative builders, has beautiful inventory homes available now at Pasco’s most desired planned communities of Asturia and Bexley. In Asturia, this award winning builder has a Costa Mesa quick movein home — the same floor plan as its newest model home in the community. This spacious, one-story plan backs up to a beautiful conservation view of woodlands and prairie. “People are absolutely in love with the Costa Mesa’s huge kitchen and its extra-large island, which is a standard feature in this home,” said Ron Ferguson, division manager for ICI Homes. The home has four bedrooms, three baths and a three-car garage. For families wanting a two-story home with the master suite downstairs, a Santa Maria floor plan is also ready now on a deep conservation lot in one of Asturia’s most desired neighborhoods. At 2,912 square feet, this home offers four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths and a three-car garage. Off the entry is a flex room that can be used as a study, office or den. The gourmet kitchen has a large island and a large dining area. The gathering room is located just past the dining room, which opens into the covered lanai to bring outdoor living inside the home. And unlike most two-story homes, the master suite is on the first floor, offering seclusion from three upstairs bedrooms. Also upstairs is a game room, which could become a fifth bedroom. ICI Homes’ third inventory home in Asturia is its original model, the Serena. This spacious one-story home
area designed perfectly for the active lifestyle Bexley extols. It sits on a 70foot corner homesite in one of Bexley’s most prestigious neighborhoods, located close to the clubhouse and pools. The sales center for Asturia and Bexley is at 2112 Secret Cove in Odessa, (727) 432-3069. Models are open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and noon to 6 p.m., on Sunday.
COMING SOON WESLEY CHAPEL
Costa Mesa’s huge kitchen has an extra-large island, which is a standard feature in this home.
has four bedrooms, three baths, and sits on a gorgeous conservation lot. For families wanting a turn-key home, this home can even include the model’s professionally selected furnishings. “All of our floor plans are perfect for entertaining,” said Ferguson. “Our gathering rooms, gourmet kitchen and dining room are one expansive space, highlighted by lots of windows that capture tons of natural light.” ICI Homes has over 30 homesites remaining in Asturia, with many backing up to conservation and water. Prices begin in the high $300s. Asturia is an award-winning, master-planned community in Odessa, located one mile west of the Suncoast Parkway on State Road 54. Amenities in this 550-home community include a unique trails system that winds through wetlands, parks and neighborhoods, and an award-winning Amenity
Center that includes a zero-entry pool, contemporary community center and state-of-the-art fitness center.
FINAL HOMES IN BEXLEY
This is the last chance to buy an ICI Home in Bexley, a master-planned community in Land O’ Lakes with thousands of acres of preserved wetlands, miles of recreational trails and unique amenities, including a bike shop and café. One of the most beautiful and functional move-in ready homes in Bexley is ICI Homes’ Costa Mesa inventory home. This four-bedroom, three-bath home includes luxury finishes, an expansive lanai, mud room with built-in bench off the garage, huge walk-in pantry, and tandem garage ideal for a compact car, golf cart or storage. The Costa Mesa’s open floor plan flows with 2,565 square feet of living
The next ICI Home community in Pasco County is Persimmon Park in Wesley Chapel, located in the prestigious Wiregrass Ranch area. This new, 5,000-acre community opens in March and is located behind The Shops at Wiregrass off Bruce B. Downs Boulevard. “This is our first project in Wesley Chapel, and we are very excited to be in this vibrant community” said Ferguson. “We will be introducing our first neo-traditional homes in Persimmon Park, with all-new floor plans that feature front porches, and garages at the back of the home.” Persimmon Park is being designed as a walkable community, with a downtown park and trails that lead to shopping and dining at The Shops of Wiregrass, to AdventHealth Wesley Chapel, and to neighborhood schools. ICI Homes prices will begin in the mid $200s, with larger homes selling in the $400s. Since ICI Homes was established in 1980, the company has built over 4,000 single-family homes in Florida, including the Tampa Bay area, and has earned several prestigious awards for design and innovation.

Setting The Mood By Painting Outside Don’t miss exhibit by Land O’ Lakes Artist Lionel Sanchez
F
rom a distance, the watercolor paintings of Lionel Sanchez appear to be very detailed with intricate brushstrokes. But, according to the artist, his work only gives the appearance of detail because of his unique style and brushstrokes. The end result of Sanchez’s art are stunning paintings of rural scenes from his native Colorado, old world urban settings in Germany, and natural Florida settings, including many from Tarpon Springs. Viewers find Sanchez’s artwork balanced, inviting and mesmerizing. “It is my hope that each of my pieces will elicit an emotional response and a desire to investigate the painting further,” says Sanchez. “I strive to create an emotional connection that opens a dialogue between the artist and viewer.” In addition to painting in watercolors, Sanchez works in graphite, acrylic, pen, and ink. He prefers to paint outside, which in the art world is called en plein air and made famous by French impressionists, such as Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. “It is easier to accomplish the mood when you paint outside. The light is pure, there is no distortion,” said Sanchez, who sketches an image before beginning to paint, and often adds creative elements not present in the scene. An example of this is one of his favorite paintings on display in Wesley Chapel of a large commercial fishing boat in drydock. Titled “Under Repair,” the boat and the Anclote River are real, but the docks and foreground were painted from his imagination. “Under Repair” is one of more than 20 of the artist’s paintings on display at an exhibition Sanchez calls, “My World Through Watercolor." The show runs through Feb. 10 at the Avalon Park Welcome Center on State Road 54, about five miles east of I-75. The show is being co-hosted by the Pasco Fine Arts Council, and is the fourth art show the Council has sponsored in the past six months at Avalon Park Wesley Chapel for East Pasco residents.
Lionel Sanchez Artist Reception "My World Through Watercolor” WHEN: Friday, Jan. 31, 6 to 8 p.m. WHERE: East Pasco Fine Arts Gallery Avalon Park Information Center 33613 State Road 54, Wesley Chapel COST: Free – Refreshments Served
Tarpon Springs is the setting for this Lionel Sanchez’s painting, ‘Under Repair.’
An artist reception to recognize Sanchez’s work is this Friday, Jan. 31, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Sanchez’s paintings are available for purchase, with prices beginning at $250. Sanchez is 76 years old, and has loved art since an older brother entertained him as a young child by drawing him pictures.
“I was fascinated with what my brother could do with a pencil, and my fascination grew into a passion,” explains Sanchez. “My life experiences and challenges are evidenced in my paintings, and my passion for art has shaped how I view the world around us.” Before retiring to Hudson in 2009, Sanchez worked as an industrial draftsman and project manager for
31 years. He gave up the mountains of Colorado for the prairies of Florida to be closer to his granddaughters in south Florida. Through the years, Sanchez took many classes in painting and photography, but did not begin painting daily until he moved to Florida. “I am a much stronger painter today than when I first retired, and continue to work on my technique almost daily,” he said. When he first moved to Florida, Sanchez began teaching at Life Enrichment Center in Tampa, and still teaches there today. He joined the Pasco Fine Arts Council about five years ago, where he also teaches painting. “I love to teach because it helps me reinforce and bring to the surface art techniques that I may have forgotten. I find it fun,” said Sanchez. Sanchez and his wife, Carolyn, live off State Road 52, about a half mile from the Suncoast Parkway, where he regularly bicycles the Suncoast Trail to and from the Starkey Wilderness Park Trail. He also is a marathon runner. The goal of the partnership between the Paso Fine Arts Council and Avalon Park Wesley Chapel is to bring arts and cultural events, exhibits and workshops to East Pasco County. This is the first time in the Council’s 40-plus year history that is has had a location in East Pasco to host its exhibits and art classes. One of the main goals of this partnership is to introduce people to local artists like Sanchez, with monthly exhibits and demonstrations, and also to offer art classes for youngsters and adults.
Joye Moon Workshop Feb. 4 at Avalon Park
A
rea residents have the rare opportunity to attend a free demonstration by renowned watercolorist Joye Moon on Feb. 4, at the master-planned community of Avalon Park Wesley Chapel. The Wisconsin-based painter’s history in art and teaching is as rich as the color and texture of her masterfully executed watercolor paintings. She has taught hundreds of watercolor workshops throughout the country, and is currently touring Florida. She also is the author of the bestselling art book, “Exploring Textures in Watercolor” (2008). Moon’s local demonstration is Tuesday, Feb. 4 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., at Avalon Park’s amenity center, 5060 River Glen Blvd. Seating is limited, and advance registration is requested
by calling (813) 7831515, or sending an email with your name and phone name to info@avalonparkwesleychapel.com. The demonstration is being co-hosted by the Pasco Fine Arts Council and the developer of Avalon Park Wesley Chapel. These organizations also work together on the new East Pasco Gallery of the Pasco Fine Medici-Staircase by Artist Joye Moon Arts Center, located on State Road 54 in Avalon Park’s by students and adults,” said Welcome Center. Stephanie Lerret, senior vice presi“It is our goal to have art classes dent of marketing and community and workshops for our community, relations for the Avalon Park Group. and a place to share artwork created “We are very excited to be hosting our

first workshop with such an acclaimed artist as Joye Moon.” Downtown Avalon Park Wesley Chapel is currently under construction and is designed to be the cultural and event center of East Pasco County. Lerret said Downtown Avalon’s first buildings are expected to open later this year.
A Place For Families To Live, Learn, Work And Play
W
hen families are looking for a new place to call home, they want a community where there is plenty to do. And, that’s why Avalon Park Wesley Chapel is one of Pasco’s most in-demand places to live. Things for families to do typically begin with amenities provided by the developer, and few communities offer the recreational activities found at Avalon Park Wesley Chapel for residents of all ages. Recently opened is an expansive second amenity center at the heart of the community, with a zero-entry pool, splash pad, spa, and picnic area. Avalon Park families also enjoy a wide array of other amenities, including another swimming pool, tot lot, basketball courts, pocket parks with mini-libraries, dog park, and trails and walkways that will interconnect with its downtown that will be opening later this year. And, when it comes to community activities, the Avalon Park Group proJanuary 29, 2020
vides a variety of fun events for its residents, and welcomes neighbors in surrounding communities to join in the fun. Ongoing monthly events include a Community Farmer’s Market twice a month, Movies under the Stars, food trucks and holiday celebrations. “We are not just developers— we are building a brand new town with family events all year-long,” said Stephanie Lerret, senior vice president of marketing and community relations for the Avalon Park Group. “We’re bringing together everything a family needs to enjoy life today, and in the future.”
1,500 RESIDENTS
Already, 1,500 people call Avalon Park Wesley Chapel home, and over 750 homes have been sold since it opened in 2012. The community will continue to grow over the next several years and, at build out, will be home to 10,000 residents residing in 4,400 single and multifamily homes.
Avex Homes and Beazer Homes are the exclusive builders, and both have beautiful model homes open for tour daily, with several inventory homes and townhomes available now. Home prices start in the mid$200s. “It is very rewarding to offer local residents affordable homes for firsttime homebuyers, as well as luxurious, move-up homes for families wanting a larger home in a community like ours that offers great schools and so much to do,” Lerret added.
DOWNTOWN CENTER
Avalon Park Wesley Chapel will also offer residents places to shop and work when its downtown center is completed. Infrastructure construction has begun on the first phase, which will include two office buildings, two mixed use retail/residential buildings and a community park. “We will be building beautiful,
multi-story buildings with commercial space designed for businesses our residents want close to home — restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, bars and entertainment, hair and nail salons, as well as activities like dance, gymnastic and karate studios,” said Lerret. In addition to shops and markets, the community’s downtown area will have over 500,000 square feet of commercial space. Nearing completion is a new charter school at the community’ entrance, Pinecrest Academy Wesley Chapel, which will open for the 20202021 school year with 650 students in kindergarten through sixth grade. Pinecrest Wesley Chapel will offer a core curriculum of English/language arts, mathematics, social science, science and electives, such as performing and fine arts, and world languages. Parents who are interested in the school can go to PinecrestWesleyChapel.com to fill out an interest form.

Tax Refund Is A Great Way To Fund Home Improvements
Y
ou may already be thinking about how to best use your tax refund, which most people get in February and March, a few weeks after filing their 2019 tax returns. Tax refunds are substantial income for many families. The IRS reports that 90 percent of American taxpayers receive a refund, with $2,725 being the average refund in 2018. And, while it’s fun to fantasize about blowing your refund on a shopping spree or vacation, it’s much wiser and more beneficial to your family to use the money to update your home’s mechanical systems. “If your home was built in the past 20 years, it is likely overdue for a new A/C system, water heater and electrical panel,” said Miguel Silva of Cornerstone Pros Air Conditioning, Plumbing and Electrical in Land O’ Lakes. “A tax refund will often cover the full cost of converting to a tankless hot water heater or replacing your electrical panel. Plus, it can be a significant down payment toward a new A/C system. If you take care of these home improvement projects now with your tax refund, we’ll get your job done within a day or two, and are offering some great coupons to reduce your cost,” Silva added. Replacing your aged A/C system with a high-efficiency air conditioner can lower your energy bills significantly, prevent energy waste and perhaps most importantly, give you peace of mind that you will have consistent, chilled air-conditioned relief all year-long. “Many people wait until their A/C system completely fails, or end up spending too much money on repairs trying to keep it going,” said Silva. “Use your tax refund to be proactive and upgrade your home’s mechanical systems before there are problems that impact your family’s health and comfort.”
Silva explains that replacing your home’s mechanical systems typically pays for themselves within a few years. “Folks don’t realize that their hot water heater and A/C unit are appliances, just like their refrigerator, and all appliances have a life span. If you’re getting close to the end of their warranty periods, give us a call and be proactive, instead of waiting until you have no hot water or air conditioning on the hottest day of the year.” Many families are upgrading their home’s electrical panel to a 200-amp service because they want to add LED light fixtures, electrical outlets with USB ports, outdoor lighting, and power for generators, hot tubs and pools. “Most panels in older homes are wired for just 100 or 150 amps, which is not enough wattage for today’s myriad of home electronics,” said Silva. “Most tax refunds will easily cover the cost to replace your entire electrical panel with a new one.” Cornerstone also sees many households converting to a tankless

hot water heater because they want endless hot water. “Nothing is worse than running out of hot water when your family is getting ready for school, work or play,” said Silva. “After comparing the cost of replacing their old water tank, which is 100-year-old technology that is very energy inefficient, most homeowners switch to a tankless system because it costs 50 percent less to operate, plus gives them hot water

It moved to its 4-acre site on Land O’ Lakes Boulevard in 2011 and, the following year, added plumbing services. In 2014, it expanded again with electrical services, and in 2017, with generators.

M
ortgage rates have recently hit near-record lows, and Freddie Mac predicts rates will continue to remain low for the foreseeable future. If you haven’t already taken advantage of the lowrate environment to refinance your home, it may be worth considering. “There are lots of reasons to refinance your home mortgage when rates go down,” says Liz Bryant, national sales manager for Wells Fargo Home Lending. “Lower rates can reduce your payment, shorten the overall length of your loan or provide you access to cash that you can use for home improvements or other expenses.” Here are some things to consider if you are considering refinancing. • It may make sense to refinance if your goal is to reduce your monthly payment to free up
money for saving, investing or spending in other ways. • Refinancing can shorten the length of your loan from a 30-year repayment period to 15 or even 10. This will reduce the amount of interest you pay, although it could mean a larger monthly payment. • Some homeowners refinance to tap into available equity to pay for a large project, such as a home renovation, or making a large purchase. • You may want to refinance to remove mortgage insurance on your loan, which will reduce your monthly payment. • To move out of an adjustablerate mortgage and into a fixed-rate one. Depending on rates, your payment could be higher, but doing so will protect you against rising rates in the future. Courtesy of StatePoint

The New Year Is A Great Time To Begin Planning For Your Next Home
T
ABOUT ASTURIA
he new year is an ideal time to start planning your next home, and Asturia invites you to visit its beautifully furnished models in
Odessa. Built by some of America’s top builders, models are open for tour daily at this master-planned community, located off State Road 54, just west of the Suncoast Parkway. David Weekley Homes, ICI Homes, Park Square Homes and Ryan Homes are Asturia’s exclusive builders. Model homes are located in the community’s third and final phase, with on-site agents to assist homebuyers. The community’s newest model is the Margate II by Park Square Homes. It features three bedrooms, two baths and a two-car garage at the rear of the home. This 1,966square-foot home has an inviting foyer with spacious flex room, an island kitchen with an abundance of cabinets, and large den off the foyer. The Margate II starts at $319,990, and a model of this floor plan has just opened. Asturia is Park Square Homes first entry into Pasco County. It brings over 35 years of experience building quality homes in Central Florida and expanded into the Tampa Bay market in 2007 with communities in south Hillsborough County. David Weekley Homes has been building in Asturia since the community first opened in 2016. Its newest model is the two-story Mendocino. At 2,845 square feet, this spacious home features four bedrooms, an open study, three full baths, one half-bath and a two-car garage. Designer touches include an extended lanai, oversized kitchen island, an owner’s retreat with tray ceiling and wood beam accents, a spa-like bath and oversized walk-in closet. Priced from the $340s, the
Mendocino is included in the David Weekley Homes Lake Series, with homes that range in size from 2,200 square feet to 3,200 square feet built on 55-foot homesites. ICI Homes has been building in Asturia since 2017, and recently opened its new Costa Mesa model near the community’s entrance on a peaceful waterfront homesite with long conservation views. This onestory, four-bedroom, three-bath, three-car garage plan is 2,565 square feet, and showcases a huge kitchen with extra-large island and closetsize, walk-in pantry that is cleverly hidden behind cabinetry. ICI Homes also has a second model on a wooded conservation lot, the Serena, that is now for sale and can include the model’s professionally decorated, high-end furnishings for families wanting a
turn-key home ready now. Asturia’s only townhomes are being built by Ryan Homes. Its three-bedroom townhomes range from 1,580 square feet to 1,770 square feet, and have two-car, rearentry, detached garages. Townhomes feature private outdoor courtyards with paver patios and privacy fencing. Prices begin in the $220s. Ryan Homes has sold more than half of their homes and has fewer than 100 homes to go. They have no inventory of homes, which allows the builder to customize new construction townhomes for its buyers. “The beautiful Asturia community has so much to offer with its first-class amenities, and our homes are at a perfect price that our sales have been brisk,” said Mona Cruz, one of the Ryan Homes sales team.
Asturia offers residents a kidfriendly, family oriented lifestyle surrounded by miles of multi-use trails, interspersed with dog parks and pocket parks. The community’s distinctive, 5,800-square-foot Amenity Center and Clubhouse includes a fully equipped fitness center, covered outdoor living rooms, a luxurious resort-style swimming pool and expansive lawn areas for recreation. Currently in its third phase, when Asturia’s development is complete, it will likely have less than 550 singlefamily homes. “What makes Asturia stand out from other new home developments is our smaller size,” said Lane Gardner, senior managing director for Hines, the developer behind Asturia. “Other communities in the area are looking at 3,000 to over 5,000 homes, and many years of construction. Our families prefer the intimate neighborhood experience that comes with Asturia’s modest community size.” Outstanding schools are another reason why families choose Asturia. Children attend some of the best schools in Pasco County, including Odessa Elementary, Seven Springs Middle School and J.W. Mitchell High School. A low-cost HOA and CDD are well worth the benefits of living in Asturia, with fees considerably less than other master-planned communities in Pasco County. Asturia’s central location is just five minutes from the Suncoast Parkway, and also provides close proximity to U.S. 41, U.S. 19 and I75. Its master plan incorporates retail, office, multifamily and a variety of single-family residential offerings. More information can be obtained by visiting Asturia’s model homes, registering at the community’s website, AsturiaFlorida.com, or by calling (813) 510-3601.

COURTESY OF ST. JOSEPH’S HOSPITALS, BAYCARE HEALTH SYSTEM
St. Joseph’s Hospital-North labor and delivery nurse Kathleen Webster, left, alongside Cristelle Suarez holding her daughter, Opal. Cristelle donated the CuddleCot to St. Joseph’s Hospital-North in memory of Oliver, her son and Opal’s brother.
Grieving families will benefit from donation St. Joseph’s Hospital-North was the recipient of a $3,000 CuddleCot donated by Land O' Lakes resident Cristelle Suarez. A CuddleCot is a cooling system that gives families days, instead of hours, to create memories with their babies. Suarez lost a child in October 2012 and raised the funds for the CuddleCot through social media and a partnership with Madison's Miracles, an organization that provides support and resources to
grieving parents who have experienced infant loss. Every year, Suarez does something in memory of her deceased child, Oliver. A CuddleCot gives bereaved families precious extra time for hugs, kisses and other bonding. Suarez did not have a CuddleCot at the time of Oliver's death. "I wish I did have one," she said. "This is my way of helping anyone else that loses a baby, and remembering Oliver."

CAMPAIGN, from page 1A Corley said over the years hundreds of candidates have signed it. He’s not aware of any who refused. The changes approved by commissioners ask candidates to: • Conduct campaigns openly, publicly discuss issues and avoid criticisms of a personal nature against opponents • Prohibit unethical practices which undermine the system of fair elections • Listen respectfully to those with opposing viewpoints and avoid language that is insulting or inappropriate • Abide by any ordinance or property restriction relating to the placement or posting of campaign signage • Run a positive campaign, emphasizing qualifications and positions on issues of public concerns and limit criticism of opponent to legitimate challenges to that person’s record, qualifications and positions • Refrain from the use of campaign material either in print or by electronic means through social media that falsifies, distorts or misrepresents facts Also, there’s a new provision aimed at ensuring that amplified devices are not used to attempt to solicit votes, as voters enter polling places. The restriction on amplified devices, Corley said,“stems from 2016, where we had voters complain they had to endure a certain campaign using a bullhorn. It was rather disruptive.They were annoyed at it, and nothing could be done.” The reference to social media is a needed update, too, Corley said. “Remember, there was no Twitter or Facebook in 2006.” Earlier in the meeting, Randy Evans, state committeeman for the Republican Party of Pasco County, voiced opposition to the changes proposed by Corley. “This ordinance contradicts the Republican Party’s platform, and it is unenforceable,” Evans said. “It is a waste of time and not worth the paper it is written on. “Every candidate for public office should be civil towards everyone, not just an opposing candidate. If a candidate feels another candidate is being uncivil, they can walk away, they can call the Sheriff’s Office, or, if necessary, exercise their Second Amendment and stand their ground,” he said. He cited a portion of the Republican Party
Platform, which says:“We oppose any restrictions or conditions that would discourage citizens from participating in the public square or limit their ability to promote their ideas, such as requiring private organizations to publicly disclose their donors to the government. Limits on political speech serve only to protect the powerful and insulate incumbent office holders.” Evans posed this question to commissioners: “Instead of wasting time on this unenforceable ordinance, and restricting free speech, why not pass an ordinance making Pasco a sanctuary county for the First Amendment and the Second Amendment?” Commissioner Jack Mariano asked for Corley to react to Evans’ remarks. Corley responded:“Mr. Evans didn’t reach out to me, so I didn’t have any discussions with him. I kind of wish I had, to be honest with you. “You’re either for civility or you’re not for civility with this ordinance. It can’t be one or the other. “The ordinance is asking all candidates to be civil. This is above partisanship, clearly,” Corley said. Corley continued: “While it does not prevent a candidate from being less than truthful, or being nasty during their campaign, it is my hope that each candidate going forward would spend their energy and resources running a positive campaign, and join us in the goal of restoring and maintaining civility in the public discourse.” Commissioner Kathryn Starkey offered this reaction:“I would just say I have no objections to sign anything that says civility and good behavior should be in order.” She also said she’s glad the amended ordinance addresses the issue of amplified devices because that was a problem before and could not be addressed. Starkey added:“It doesn’t inhibit anyone’s free speech. I wouldn’t want to do that.” Corley:“It’s a plea.Voters are tired of negativity.” Christine Bright, chair of the Pasco Unit of the League of Women Voters of Hillsborough County, backed the changes recommended by Corley. “I just wanted to stand here today and say that the members of the Leagues strongly support ordinances which promote civility in our political campaigns. “We’re very concerned about the erosion of civility,” Bright said.
RENTAL, from page 1A
of this problem,” Commissioner Kathryn Starkey said. “I don’t know that this will get us all of the way to where I think we need to be, but I think this is a great first step.” Commissioner Mike Wells, who advocated for the registry, said “it’s going to increase (property) values. It’s going to help life-safety.” It also will help the Sheriff’s Office and the county’s code enforcement department, Wells added. At the same time, he said, such ordinances have to be carefully crafted. “It’s a touchy thing. We don’t want to overregulate,”Wells said. Joe Farrell, of the Central Pasco Association of Realtors, told commissioners, “we wholeheartedly support this ordinance.”
county regulations.” Owners of rental or vacant properties who live outside of Pasco County must designate a licensed property manager, based within Pasco or adjacent counties.The ordinance defines a licensed property manager as one who holds a current and active Florida real estate license. The registration form also gives the owner an option to enter into a “trespass agreement” with the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office, giving the Sheriff’s Office the authority to issue trespass warnings to individuals not listed as authorized occupants on the registry. “I’m really glad that we’ve arrived at this day. This is really important to the constituents of Pasco County that we take care

Zephyr Sound, a ladies barbershop singing group, performs at local senior parks and nursing homes throughout Zephyrhills. The group formed in 1998.
BARBERSHOP, from page 1A considers itself to be informal, and welcomes new ladies of all ages to be part of their fellowship and fun. The only requirement to join is the ability to simply “keep a tune,” said Peggy Shear, who serves as the group’s vice president. Shear, who sings bass, said the group really needs lead singers who have melody and can hit a Middle C note, and an octave above. Currently, the group has nine regulars, many of whom are retired, or on the verge of retirement. Shear, who is a New York native and Wesley Chapel resident, joined Zephyr Sound about three years ago after seeing an ad in a newspaper. She was hooked after her first rehearsal. Shear appreciates the challenge of the use of the human voice to make music. She explained,“I enjoy the people and I enjoy the harmony that I’m hearing, and learning how to stay more in tune when you don’t have an accompaniment.” Zephyr Sound formed in 1998. Rhoda Frederick, a ‘snowbird’ from Maine, has been with the group the longest. She joined in 1999. For Frederick, the group provides an outlet to express her passion for music and for studying harmonies. “It’s just a part of me,” Frederick said. Other Zephyr Sound members describe the barbershop quartet as “addicting,” — that is, they say, once you get the hang of it. That was Carolyn Kampf’s experience. “Once I started singing barbershop, I just couldn’t give it up,” the Michigan snowbird said.“I just couldn’t. I’ve just gotta sing that four-part harmony,” Kampf said, signaling her joy, through the glee in her voice. New Yorker Robyne Eastman echoed similar feelings about singing barbershopstyle. “It just becomes part of you,” Eastman said. “It’s something that you go out and search, if you have been in an organization or a full chorus, and then you move, you’re going to start searching,‘Where is one close by? Where can I sing my heart?’” Zephyr Sound practices Monday afternoons at Zephyrhills Wesleyan Church, from
mid-November through mid-April. They have a running list of about 25 songs — a mix of blues, old-time and patriotic tunes, as well as hymns and songs from musicals. Some of the more well-known tracks they perform include “Ain’t She Sweet,” “Baby Face,”“Rockin’ Robin,”“Carolina in the Morning,” “This Country is My Country,” “God Bless America” and “Two Nations.” The group tries to add a new tune or two to its repertoire each year, said Zephyr Sound music director Sue Shaffer, a Dade City resident. Right now they’re learning “Mississippi Mud,” a barbershop track once recorded by Ray Charles and others. Learning a new song takes time and practice. It requires getting the lead, tenor, baritone and bass on the same page, members say. Shaffer observed:“It takes a little while to work out all the parts because some people aren’t sure of their parts, and so we have to learn it.” Zephyr Sound typically sings a 30minute program, when they perform about town.They show up in matching uniforms: Black pants, a white blouse, a vest and a scarf. They encourage audience participation, to liven things up. Each Zephyr Sound set list has a narrator, Shaffer said.And, it’s organized in such a way “that makes sense in the order we do it.” The idea, she said, is “to make it a very interesting program that people don’t fall asleep on.” Shaffer is another longtime member of the group, having signed up in the early 2000s. She came aboard with a lengthy musical background, having directed a number of choruses and as a former member of Sweet Adelines International, a worldwide organization dedicated to advancing the education and performance of women’s barbershop singers. Besides her love of singing, Zephyr Sound provides Shaffer a welcoming space for friendship and camaraderie.“I’m telling you, this has been the most supportive (group) that I have ever been a part of. Ever,” she said. For more information or to book Zephyr Sound, call Peggy Shear at (813) 991-9326.

John Floyd, of Floyd Citrus, holds up a Nagami kumquat tree, as he makes his sales pitch to the crowd. Floyd, a 61-year resident of Dade City, said that this type of kumquat is a perfect ingredient for cakes and pies
The kumquat is small, but it draws a big crowd By Christine Holtzman choltzman@lakerlutznews.com
W
ith its historic courthouse and local shops, downtown Dade City emanates a feeling of Southern Charm. And, once a year, its streets are transformed when hundreds of vendors and thousands of visitors descend on the East Pasco community to pay homage to a tiny, tart citrus fruit called a kumquat. Now in its 23rd year, the annual Kumquat Festival was held on Jan. 25 and, as usual, people were enjoying themselves as they tasted kumquat pie, sampled kumquat ice cream, listened to music or did a little shopping from vendors, or local shops. There was entertainment, too, with performances by such acts like the Pasco County Community Choir, Strawberry Express Cloggers, Pasco High School Jazz
Band, Saint Leo University Theatre Department, Frank Savers with Influence of Music, and Nashville recording artist Kris Pierce. This year, there were more than 400 vendors lining downtown streets, selling everything from handcrafted items, to produce and clothes. It was an event for all ages. Kids could scale a rock climbing wall, take a pony ride, jump around in a bounce house or play games in the Kid’s Corral. There was a quilt show, a car and truck show, and live entertainment, too. And, those who came looking for kumquats? Well, the little gold gem of the citrus industry was in great supply. Kumquats could be purchased in the form of trees, in fresh bags of the fruit, in kumquat-infused ice cream, cookies, beer, marmalades, salsa — and, of course, the famous kumquat pie.
Heather Davis, of Tampa, and her husband, Andrew, admire a quilt named ‘Wild Thing,’ created by Helen Newcombe, of Zephyrhills. The quilt was one of several competing in the People’s Choice quilt competition, at the Hugh Embry Branch Library. The East Pasco Quilt Guild Inc., presented the quilt show. Tickets also were sold for a chance drawing for a quilt, with proceeds to benefit Caterpillars to Butterflies Charitable Foundation Inc.
Valerie Mann, left, enjoys her slice of kumquat pie, while her husband Dick, savors a spoon of kumquat ice cream. The Manns are snowbirds from Michigan, who spend their winters in Haines City.
While her husband, Rafael, looks on approvingly, Joyce Lopez-Millan, of Brandon, left, gazes into a mirror as she tries on a handmade hat made by shop owner Laura Adams, center. Adams owns ‘Hats by Laura Michaels.’ She incorporates vintage articles into her work, such as lace from an 1800s-era wedding gown.
The Pasco County Community Choir belts out a gospel tune on the steps of the Historic Pasco County Courthouse. The group was one of nine acts performing throughout the day in the historic courthouse square.

Sophie, right, is almost 10 years old and a black mouth cur mix. Her little sister, Izzie, is about a year old and is a true mixed-breed rescue from All Sato Rescue in Puerto Rico. Izzie has not seen a lot of things most dogs encounter every day here, but as long as her big sis is with her, she's not afraid. The girls live with a kitty and their mom, Carol Scharfeld, in Lutz.

This vireo has ‘eyeglasses’ Lillian Cucuzza, an avid bird watcher and photographer, saw this blue-headed vireo in her sister’s backyard on Lake Padgett, in Land O’ Lakes. Check out its white spectacles! Blue-headed vireos forage in mature trees and move slowly from branch to branch, searching for insects. The bird will tilt its head to look carefully in all directions, then pounce on a caterpillar or other prey.
