Hurricane season can be deadly

By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Experts are predicting an above-normal Hurricane Season 2021. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center has predicted a 60% chance of an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season, a 30% chance of a near-normal season and a 10% chance of a below-normal season. NOAA is forecasting a range of 13 to 19 named storms, with winds of 39 mph or

higher. Of those, six to 10 could become hurricanes, with winds of 74 mph or higher, including three to six hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5), with winds of 111 mph or more, according to the predictions. An average hurricane season – which runs from June 1 through Nov. 30 — produces 14 named storms, of which seven become hurricanes, including three major hurricanes, according to NOAA’s updated statistics. The last hurricane to hit Pasco County was Hurricane Irma, in 2017. County offi-

cials have estimated that more than 200 homes were damaged, with 56 homes suffering major damage and four homes destroyed, according to the 2021 Pasco County Disaster Preparedness Guide. Of the 261,000 addresses in Pasco County, approximately 217,000 addresses reportedly were without power, the guide adds.

With Hurricane Irma still fresh on their minds, many Pasco County residents were taking no chances as Hurricane Dorian approached Florida in 2019. Alejandro Meneses, a volunteer with the Pasco County Sheriff’s Jeep Unit, left, assists Wesley Chapel resident Tom Fiksdal by loading sandbags into Fiksdal’s truck. Meneses was volunteering his time at the San Antonio site, helping people with filling bags, as well as loading them in vehicles.

COURTESY OF CITY OF DADE CITY

This 1.19-mile route with a roundabout is the preferred choice to extend Morningside Drive to connect U.S. 301/98 to Fort King Road in Dade City. The total estimated cost of the roadway project is $12,401,800. Officials have said the Morningside Drive extension project will yield numerous benefits, such as reducing traffic volume on parallel roadways and stimulating economic development.

Alternative route selected for Morningside extension By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

The Dade City Commission has approved an engineer’s recommendation for the Morningside Drive extension route study, but funding for the initiative remains an issue. The extension of Morningside Drive is intended to connect U.S. 301 to Fort King Road. Commissioners on June 8 approved an engineer’s recommendation for the Morningside Drive extension route study, pond siting analysis and report — authorizing work to proceed on subsequent phases of the project, including funding acquisition, design/permitting and right-of-way acquisition. The route study — completed by New Port Richey-based Coastal Design Consultants Inc. — is next slated to be presented sometime in August to the Pasco County Commission. The civil engineering firm’s recommended 1.19-mile route includes a roundabout at the Morningside Drive/Fort King Road west segment, circling AdventHealth Dade City hospital and the Pasco County Schools bus garage. The preferred route — somewhat resembling a Z-shape pattern — veers slightly northeast from Fort King Road, winding south through open water and upland areas within Dade City and unincorporated Pasco County, connecting parallel with the Hardy Trail, then cutting across eastward to the en-

trance of U.S. 301, passing between Walgreen’s, Buddy’s Home Furnishings, Winn-Dixie and other establishments. The roadway calls for two, 12-foot-wide traffic lanes; 5-foot bicycle lanes; curbs and gutters; a sidewalk on the south side; and a multi-use path on the north side connecting with Hardy Trail. The design speed for the Morningside Drive extension is 45 mph with a posted speed of 30 mph. Stormwater management facilities improvements and a flood plain compensation area also are included in the roadway plans. Coastal Design Consultants president/owner Paul Manuel shared a detailed PowerPoint presentation at last month’s in-person meeting at the Dade City Commission Chambers. According to Manuel’s presentation, the winding route “was developed to optimally utilize the available upland area and parcels of property owners who have indicated that they support the proposed extension.” The implementation of a roundabout, Manuel said, requires fewer right-of-way impacts and is more conducive to traffic calming compared to a signalized intersection. It’s also less costly to build and maintain, he said. Other considerations taken into account during the route study were community long-range planning goals, safety, environmental impacts, property impacts and costs. The estimated total capital project cost See MORNINGSIDE, page 9A

The Dade City Commission has unanimously selected Mayor Camille Hernandez to represent Dade City at the Florida League of Cities’ 95th annual conference in August, in Orlando. The meeting, set for Aug. 12 to Aug. 14, will involve the election of leadership and adoption of resolutions, which will set the direction for the organization. The Florida League of Cities represents municipalities across the state. In accordance with the league’s by-laws, each municipality’s vote is determined by population, and the league will use the Estimates of Population from the University of Florida. The conference also provides opportunities for Florida’s municipal officials to learn how to serve their citizens more effectively. See HERNANDEZ, page 9A

Shop a little, give a little back By Mary Rathman mrathman@lakerlutznews.com

While running routine weekly errands, area residents can help to reduce single-use plastic in the environment — while also giving back to the community — by shopping at the Dade City Winn Dixie. Through Winn Dixie’s Reusable Bag Program, with every $2.50 reusable community bag purchase, a $1 donation is made to a nonprofit that is local to the grocery store at which it was bought. The nonprofit Pioneer Florida Museum & Village has been selected by store leadership at Winn Dixie, 12649 U.S. 301 in Dade City, to benefit from the program during the month of July.

NEPTUNEE

Initially, things were looking pretty bleak on the state fiscal front — before the last session of the Florida Legislature. Pasco County Commissioner Kathryn Starkey recalled some previous remarks from the county’s state lobbyist, Shawn Foster, of Sunrise Consulting. “Before session started, you were like: ‘This is going to be a really bad session.We’re going to be billions of dollars in the hole,’” Starkey said, during the Pasco County Commission’s June 22 meeting. Foster said that was before the dollars that came in from the America Rescue Act. Nearly 10% of the state’s $101.5 billion came from the federal government, Foster said. “If it had not been for that $10 billion that we got from the federal government, there would be no good here.There would be no good,” Foster said. Without the federal money, he added: “There would be none of these projects on here, none of these other big grants.” Instead,“the state took $7 billion of the American Rescue Act and implemented it into this year and held off another $3 billion for the next budget,” Foster said. Instead of being decimated, the statewide budget includes: • $1 billion for community substance abuse and mental health • $3.2 million for homeless program challenge grants • $500 million for the Resilient Florida Trust Fund and programs • $626 million for septic to sewer and stormwater improvements • $146.7 million for the State Housing Initiative Partnership program • $74 million for the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund, including $24 million from last year • $1.5 billion in the Emergency Rental Assistance Program The county can apply directly for funding through the Septic to Sewer/Stormwater Improvement program, Foster said. “That was our Sen. (Wilton) Simpson’s priority and has been for years. I think it started with an idea a few years ago; it was $50 million. So, to see it up to $626 (million)

is amazing.” The lobbyist also noted that the Emergency Rental Assistance Program is one in which constituents can make direct applications, through OurFlorida.com. Three Pasco County projects also went through to the governor. Those were: • $6.5 million for the Handcart Road water and wastewater improvements • $200,000 for the Ackerman Street drainage improvements • $3,818,208 for the Lindrick sewer and water quality “The county as a whole, really did well,” said Ralph Lair, the county’s intergovernmental affairs officer. Other county projects receiving funding were: • $3 million to extend the runway at Zephyrhills Municipal Airport • $4,665,000 for the Sarah Vande Berg Tennis & Wellness Center in Zephyrhills • $25 million for a Florida National Guard Armory in Zephyrhills • $1.25 million for a CARES One-Stop Senior Center in Dade City • $450,000 for AmSkills Workforce Training • $25 million for a Pasco-Hernando State College student success and community engagement center in Dade City • $34,738 for a Pasco Association of Challenged Kids Summer Camp • $5 million for Metropolitan Ministries to expand its campus in Pasco County • $700,000 for Bridging Freedom Program in Pasco County While Commissioner Mike Moore expressed gratitude for this year’s appropriations, he said the county needs to focus on securing funding to address flooding issues in areas such as Quail Hollow and around Eiland Boulevard. “That needs to be a big focus, going forward,” Moore said. “Those are very important.Those affect our citizens on a dayto-day basis,” he said. Commissioner Kathryn Starkey said she’d like to follow the Pinellas County Commission’s example of meeting with their county legislative delegation and with their federal legislative delegation. She wants Pasco to be more proactive in seeking state and federal funding to help address county needs. Foster expressed optimism about the state’s revenue prospects for next year. Committee meetings will begin in the fall, and the next session of the legislature is set to start Jan. 11 and end on March 11.

Author hopes book will lead to richer relationships with God By B.C. Manion

Need a guest speaker for your Christian group? Liz Lyon-Hall, author of the Bible Study,“Hezekiah, a Conversation With the Enemy,” is available to speak to your group. Email her at lizlyonhall@gmail.com to make arrangements.

bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

It’s not like Liz Lyon-Hall was just looking for something to do. After all, she’s a professional guardian for the elderly with Alzheimer’s and dementia. Plus, she and her husband, Alan, have two daughters, 15-year-old Eliana and a 12-yearold Alyssa, and two sons, 5-year-old Daniel and 3-year-old Jaidon. On top of all that, the Wesley Chapel family has dogs, a cat, a bunny, a mouse, a bird and two pet sharks. Still, when Lyon-Hall was reading a particular verse of the Bible she experienced what she characterizes as a revelation — and she was inspired to share it with others. “I realized at one point that any revelation from God, no matter how big or how small, is not necessarily just for the person receiving it, but also to be shared with other Christians,” she said. “I really want to encourage people to be reading the Bible and studying it for themselves. That’s a big life message for me — just encouraging Christians to spend time in the Bible,” she said. It’s important, she added, to “know your scriptures and study it as much as you can. “One of the ways that God speaks to his people is through the scriptures and if you’re not reading them, you’re missing that opportunity. “Christianity is not just a belief system. We’re meant to have a relationship with God,” she continued.“If you’re missing out on his primary way of communicating to you, you’re really missing out.” So, what began as a personal inspiration turned into a research and writing project. “I typically wrote about an hour a night, pretty much from midnight to about 1 a.m.,” she said. She squeezed in some extra writing time on Fridays, which she generally

takes off from her day job. She estimates she spent about six months creating the study guide, which is called “Hezekiah, A Conversation With the Enemy.” The guide’s release will be celebrated with a book launch on July 11 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., at Bridgeway Church, at 30660 Wells Road in Wesley Chapel. The six-week Bible study is divided into six weeks of study, five days a week. “That’s kind of a standard format for a lot of Bible studies,” Lyon-Hall said. While Bible studies can be done individually, that’s not the general approach.

CORRECTION: Tampa International Airport is expected to get back to its pre-pandemic seat capacity by September and is expected to have 16 million passengers in fiscal year 2021. A story published in The Laker/Lutz News on June 30 was incorrect on those points.

Bible Study Book Launch WHAT: Meet local author Liz Lyon-Hall at an event celebrating the launch of her first published Bible Study: “Hezekiah, A Conversation With the Enemy.” WHERE: Bridgeway Church, 30660 Wells Road, Wesley Chapel WHEN: July 11, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. DETAILS: Enjoy Christian fellowship across a variety of denominations. There will be light hors d’oeuvres and drinks. Bring or buy a book for author signings. PLEASE RSVP to lizlyonhall@gmail.com, to ensure adequate provision of food and drink.

“The main goal for most Bible studies is to be done with a group of people, so that you’re having discussion and you’re fellowshipping — getting to know each other and helping each other throughout life, praying for each other, that sort of thing,” Lyon-Hall said.

“This Bible study, when I wrote it, I did it with my own personal little small group Bible study,” she said. She also ran it through a Bible study at Bridgeway Church, where she has been a member since 2015. A second Bible study group at the church began using the guide recently. Lyon-Hall said her guide is designed to be used by Christians of any church denomination. She plans to get the word out about the book by attending church events, conferences, breakfasts and so on. She is scheduled to sell her book at Palm Harbor’s New Hope Church’s Women’s Dream Conference,Aug. 13 and Aug. 14; at Tampa’s St. Clement’s Episcopal Church’s Blessing of the Animals event Oct. 2; and, at Lutz’s St. Timothy Catholic Church’s Annual Women’s Club Boutique on Nov. 13. Whether or not it’s a big seller, Lyon-Hall said she’s glad she pursued the project. She knows that the guide was extremely helpful to one of the participants of the first Bible study group that used it. “It was a blessing to her, specifically — helped her kind of break through some issues she was having,” the author said. “I’m not looking to make my millions off this book. I’m just looking to share it and encourage people to be reading their Bible. “I figure God is going to use it for whatever he’s going to use it for. He will put it in the hands of who needs to read it,” she said. For more information, visit LizLyon-Hall.com.

Hillsborough County is asking residents for their input into what will become a regional destination park in the New Tampa area. Branchton Park, 15504 Morris Bridge Road, currently includes a small parking area, shelter, playground and a basketball court. The improvement plan will create new amenities for the community. Depending on the suggestions from residents, features in the park could include

small and large dog parks, multiple playgrounds, more shelters, a splash pad, walking trails, pickleball and multi-use courts, and gathering spaces. The improvements would be built on land south of the park. Enhancements will be implemented in phases, with work on the first phase expected to begin later this year. An estimated 45,000 residents live within a 10-minute drive to the park. Those interested in filling out the survey can visit PublicInput.com/BranchtonRegionalPark_M edia.

Pasco-Hernando State College (PHSC) president Timothy Beard earned near-perfect scores on his annual review by the college’s District Board of Trustees (DBOT), according to a news release. The College Board of Trustees gave him an overall average score of 4.95 out of Timothy Beard, Ph.D. 5, noting Beard’s excellent communications with the DBOT and community stakeholders, as well as administrators on the college’s administrative leadership team. Marilyn Pearson-Adams, DBOT chair, summarized the review comments in a letter to the trustees, noting in the release that “Dr. Beard’s personal and professional demeanor have positively impacted his performance as president and consequently facilitated the college being one of the premier institutions in the Florida College System.” Beard exceeded performance standards in all areas of the evaluation. He earned a 4.86 for board relations; a 4.88 for community, state and national relations; a 5.0 for fiscal accountability; a 4.99 for leadership; and a 5.0 for accountability. Beard is starting the second year of a three-year contract awarded last year by the college trustees after he demonstrated his ability to grow as a leader, embrace a style of leadership that promotes transparency, collaboration and clear communication.

HURRICANE, from page 1A on Hurricane Elsa that was brewing, but it was too early to tell whether the storm would affect the Tampa Bay region. Of course, it’s impossible to predict when or where a hurricane or tropical storm will strike, so that’s why emergency management officials urge residents to be ready to take whatever actions are necessary. Laura Wilcoxen, interim director for emergency management for Pasco County, said residents need to prepare now, so they can be ready if a threat arises.

PREPARE NOW

It’s important to keep in mind there are just a couple of thousand first responders, Wilcoxen said, compared to more than 550,000 Pasco County residents. “So, personal responsibility is extremely important for us all to be able to recover as quickly as we can,” she said. She urged residents to avoid last-minute preparations. First, know your hazards, she said.“Are you in an evacuation zone? Are you in a flood zone? “You know best where you live.You know best the route that you routinely travel,” Wilcoxen said. Perhaps you’re new to the area. In that case, Wilcoxen suggests: “Talk to your neighbors.Ask them what their experience has been in past storms.” Perhaps you haven’t geared up yet for this storm season. Wilcoxen offers this advice: “Prepare a simple go-kit: Quick things that you can grab, in a backpack.Water, some food, your medications, batteries, a flashlight.” Prepare a larger home kit, too. That kit should include 1 gallon of water per person, per day, for up to 7 days; nonperishable food, a non-electric can opener, hygiene items and so on. Those preparing disaster kits also should keep in mind the need to pack personal protection equipment ,such as masks and gloves, in case they are needed, she said. As you make preparations, consider any special needs of elderly or disabled people, infants and pets, she said. Also, if you will need a special shelter, be sure to know where they are and how to register.

STAY SAFE

“Each storm is different. Some of the worst damage that this county has experienced has been because of a tropical storm,” Wilcoxen said. Residents need to know their evacuation zone. “Heed the warnings.There can be a lot of complacency based on previous experience,” Wilcoxen said. “If county officials are giving you a warning that it’s time to evacuate, it’s because there’s a high potential for threats to life and safety,” the emergency response expert said. Areas of special concern include coastal areas that are subject to storm surge and buildings that would be susceptible to wind damage, such as mobile homes or homes that are not secured to their foundation, she said. There are public shelters available, but they should be the option of last resort, Wilcoxen said.

MORNINGSIDE, from page 1A

Preparing for a disaster

Would your organization or association like to know more about preparing for a disaster? Pasco County’s emergency management department has speakers available to provide presentations. To find out more, call 727-847-8137.

It’s better for people to find friends or family, or stay in a hotel,Wilcoxen said. “You are going to be much more comfortable that you would be at a shelter,” she added.“Shelters are really like the lifeboat — they’re the lifeboat, not the cruise ship.” County shelters will follow guidance from the Centers Disease Control and Prevention, and the Florida Department of Health, Wilcoxen said. There will be isolation areas, if needed, because of COVID-19, she added.

PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, AND YOURSELF

“Know what your insurance covers,” Wilcoxen said. If you need flood insurance, get it now. New flood insurance policies cannot be obtained, if a storm is approaching. It’s also a good idea to take action now, such as trimming your trees, to reduce potential property damage, she said. When a storm is approaching, store items — such as patio furniture, grills and planters — in a garage or in another secure place. Those could become projectiles during high winds. If you have emergency equipment, be sure you know how it works. That’s particularly true about generators,Wilcoxen said. “Make sure they’re (generators) properly installed.You don’t want to put them inside your garage. Don’t put them next to your bedroom window. Make sure the way it is wired in, is correct,”Wilcoxen said.“You don’t want to have a disaster, within a disaster.” Be sure you have a communication plan. Whether you are evacuating or sheltering in place, be sure to share the specifics with someone who is outside of the danger zone.

KEEP INFORMED

Wilcoxen encourages residents to register for the AlertPasco app, which provides timely reports. The county also has the social media NextDoor app, which can push out more information, easily, she said. Wilcoxen also recommends that residents read the county’s disaster guide. “It’s been updated and designed to make it user-friendly,”Wilcoxen said. The county’s preparedness videos, on the emergency management page of the county’s website, are helpful, too, she said. “If you have people who are interested in learning about how to properly fill a sandbag and stack them, we have a video about sandbags. If you want to learn more about what to take to a shelter, we have a video on our shelters.We also have one on how to build a kit. “They’re just great, useful, educational tools,”Wilcoxen said. “If you have any questions ever, make sure you’re reaching out and asking. Our team is here to help,”Wilcoxen said.

of the selected route is $12,401,800. Two other alternatives were considered and studied, as well as a no-build alternative. This amount encompasses estimated construction, design, and construction engineering and inspection ($9.1 million), right-of-way acquisition ($1.7 million) and wetland mitigation ($1.6 million). The route’s right-of-way impacts affect 18.44 acres, 17 parcels, two businesses and one residence, according to Manuel’s report. As plans move forward, funding the entirety of the project remains a problem for the municipality, for the time being. In 2019, Dade City was awarded a $5 million state appropriation for the Morningside project — less than half the project’s estimated total cost. This funding remains available for use through 2024, unless the city requests the state for an extension to complete the project. The $5 million is roughly enough to just cover the project’s design, permitting and right-of-way access issues before the build portion. City Manager Leslie Porter told commissioners that staff is “looking internally at how we’re going to bridge that gap” for monies to pay for the roadway. Some transportation impact fees will be coming through to help cover costs, but Porter said she doesn’t “have a real hard number on that yet.” She suggested the city ask state legislators for another round of funding for the project, and seek out opportunities with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and beneficiaries of the project, such as the hospital. Porter pointed out she’s been in regular communication with state representatives and county partners, so decision-makers are aware of the project’s sizable price tag.

MORNINGSIDE EXTENSION YIELDS BENEFITS, BUT CONCERNS, TOO

Officials have said the Morningside Drive extension project will yield numerous benefits, such as reducing traffic volume on parallel roadways and stimulating economic development. It offers direct access to the hospital, on Fort King Road, which was considered a top priority for the road’s extension, and also improves public safety access for police and fire rescue services. “I think it’s going to benefit not only AdventHealth, but the community at large with the growth and the other things that are happening,” Mayor Camille Hernandez said. Having the connection to Hardy Trail is an added bonus, the mayor said.

HERNANDEZ, from page 1A Hernandez thanked her fellow commissioners for allowing her to be the city’s voting delegate, adding that returning to the event in-person again,“will be kinda nice.” In other action at the commission’s June 22 meeting, Hernandez recognized Kayla Contreras, Diego Grant and LaDanian Johnson — three graduating high school seniors who served various stints on the Dade City Youth Council. The youth council — formed by the mayor in 2007—devotes a bulk of its time to volunteer service and community enhancement projects. Members of the youth council also have a chance to gain insight into how the municipality interacts with the Florida Legislature and sometimes are able to travel

The museum will receive $1 for every reusable bag sold at this location. “It’s more important than ever to help reduce single-use plastic in the environment,” Stephanie Bracknell Black, executive director of the museum, said in a news release.

Addressing the funding shortfall, Hernandez observed,“Clearly, well, ($5 million) isn’t going to work. We do know that we have some work to do.” She said her concerns include both funding for the project and the time frame for completion. Commissioner Knute Nathe also expressed support for the recommended route extension for its public safety and fresh development opportunities, but emphasized the importance of considering other community concerns throughout the project’s process. He referred to some vocal citizens — situated along 10th Street, Fairfield Lane and Willingham Avenue — who may be affected in one way or another. Overall, Nathe said, the project will be “very important for our residents,” particularly from the perspective of patients and doctors more easily traveling to and from the hospital, between Dade City and Zephyrhills. “There’s been a lot of public support for extending Morningside,” Nathe said. Mayor Pro Tem Jim Shive thanked Coastal Engineering for “a phenomenal job with the assessment and the route study.” Shive continued: “I agree with what’s being recommended. I think it’s going to be a plus for the city.” In early May, Pasco County Engineering Services hosted an open house for the Morningside Drive extension, which drew about 40 participants at the Dade City Commission chambers. Public input was received during and after the meeting. Comments included general support of the chosen route, but concerns were raised about existing flooding conditions within the study area, right-of-way acquisition required for build alternatives, traffic volumes and noise, and wetland and wildlife impacts. Manuel addressed those concerns headon. “There were a lot of concerns about flooding, which we will make an emphasis during the design process, but that is a process that you’re going to get into a lot more deeply when you get into understanding the design of the project,” he explained. “There were also concerns to right-ofway acquisitions and how close it is to people’s residences and homes,” he added, noting he read through all of the comments and has a good understanding of the concerns. As for next steps, the project’s design/permitting period will take about a year, Manuel noted. Back-and-forth negotiations and regulatory processes on wetland and environmental impacts with state agencies takes up the bulk of that time frame, he said.

to partake in meetings in Tallahassee. Hernandez said the youth council is “like my second family.” She also expressed her appreciation for the group’s dedication to community service and personal growth over the years. “Dade City should be proud, and that’s why cases like tonight to recognize these young people is really a good thing, and I’m just so proud of them,” she said. “We’ve got some darn good young people around here, and just to watch them continue to grow and be a part of our community is really cool.” The city also has set its budget hearing dates for fiscal year 2021-2022 for Sept. 13 and Sept. 27. If the Pasco County School Board or Pasco County Commission sets a budget hearing date on Sept. 13, then Dade City will use Sept. 15 as an alternate date.

“Nonprofits at the local level, like us, are in need of community support. This program offers the perfect solution to multiple issues of the world today. We hope you’ll support us in July by purchasing one – or two – community bags at our local Dade City Winn Dixie,” Black said. For information about the reusable bag program, visit WinnDixie.com.

Zephyrhills runner competes in U.S. Olympic trials By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

van Miller’s sprint for a spot on Team USA for the upcoming Tokyo Summer Olympics came up short — but it was still an experience most athletes can only ever dream about. The Zephyrhills athlete on June 25 competed in the U.S. Olympic track and field trials at the legendary Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. Miller — a rising senior at University of South Carolina — clocked 21.04 seconds in the first round heat of the men’s 200-meter dash, finishing 23rd overall. He competed in the same heat against other widely known professional sprinters, including Terrance Laird and Jaron Flourney, among others. The competition was televised live nationally on the NBC Sports Network. Miller’s trials mark was a shade off his personal-best of 20.50 seconds — which he recorded at the Weems Baskin Relays hosted on-campus at South Carolina in late March. He wound up earning second-team NCAA All-American honors during the season, too. A last-minute heat and lane scheduling change at trials in Oregon arguably impacted his performance, in some form or another. Miller originally was slated to compete in heat 2, lane 5, but event officials switched him to heat 3, lane 9 just hours before the race. Here’s why it matters:The middle lanes (such as lane 5) are viewed as more advantageous in track, as it allows sprinters to visibly pace themselves against competitors in real time, Miller said,“to have someone to kind of push me toward where I’m trying to go, how fast I’m trying to run.” But being positioned in outside lanes (such as lane 9) is more out on an island of sorts — unable to see if you’re going too fast or too slow against the competition. “You’re just out there, (so) you’ve just kind of got to run your own race,” Miller said. Miller was one of about 30 sprinters nationwide who either qualified or accepted an invitation, and declared for the men’s 200-meter trials event. From there, the top three men’s 200meter finishers at trials earned spots on the U.S. Olympic team — Noah Lyles (first, 19.74 seconds), Kenny Bednarek (second, 19.78) and Erriyon Knighton (third, 19.84). (Knighton is a 17-year-old sensation from Tampa who attends Hillsborough High School and became the youngest track and field athlete to join Team USA since 1964.) While disappointed with his own trials output overall, Miller relished the opportunity so very few earn — let alone coming off a 2020 track season hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. He had plenty of support at the momentous event, as both his parents and sister were in attendance, along with several coaches and teammates. “All around, it was a really good experience,” Miller said.“It was kind of surreal that I was there with the top athletes in the country. It was just a really good feeling. I was kind of trying to take it all in, but I also couldn’t like believe it at the same time.” Miller has since flown back to the Tampa Bay area, but may soon head back to Columbia, South Carolina, for the remainder

He next gears up for his senior season at the University of South Carolina, where he earned second-team NCAA All-American honors a few months ago.

of the summer to take on more in-person instruction from college coaches. He’s already eyeing the next trials in advance of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. He plans to be a professional track athlete by then. “I’ll definitely be there,” he said. “This isn’t going to be the last time.” More immediate tasks, however, include the upcoming college indoor and outdoor track seasons, as well as the 2022 World Championships. Goals are set on running in the low-20s in the 200, somewhere between 20.1 and 20 seconds flat for the time being. Miller also is considering adding the 400meter dash to his repertoire, with the aim of reducing his time in the 200, he said. Focusing on nutrition will be key to moving forward, Miller said. He noted his calves cramped up a few days before the trials, showing perhaps a sign of dehydration.

Further fine-tuning sprint techniques — from starting block to transition and finish — also is on his mind, to yield improvements. “There’s a lot of stuff I’ve got to work on,” he said, “so that’s why I’m confident that I’ll be able to drop my time, because there’s still a lot to be done.”

FROM ZEPHYRHILLS TO OLYMPIC HOPES

Miller has generated buzz athletically since his days at Zephyrhills Christian Academy. He was better known for his play on the football field, but he took track more seriously following a broken ankle while playing in a 7-on-7 tournament. As a teenager he eventually linked up with AAU track and high school coach BB Roberts, who runs the Wesley Chapel-based Speed Starz Track Club, and lists NFL and

MLB athletes as training clientele. Roberts, a former track star in his own right at Wesley Chapel High School and Coffeyville (Kansas) Community College, worked to correct Miller’s sprinting form and technique, among other tips. Miller proceeded to win the Class 1A crown 100-meter dash (10.75) at the 2018 FHSAA State Track & Field Championships, as a senior at Zephyrhills Christian. He also was a member of the program’s 4×100 relay team that won back-to-back state crowns in 2017 and 2018, respectively. He would go on to qualify for AAU nationals, too. Miller initially planned to compete in football and track at Warner University, a small NAIA school in Lake Wales. That was until the more prestigious South Carolina track and field program came calling with an offer from longtime head coach Curtis Frye — who’s overseen over 60 NCAA champions, 121 SEC champions, 20 Academic All-Americans and more than 500 NCAA All-Americans across his 25year career. It’s all been a whirlwind for the hometown speedster, from small private school off Eiland Boulevard to joining a blue-blood SEC college program, to much-grander Olympics aspirations. “I definitely wish I would’ve discovered track sooner, but I really didn’t expect to be able to do all these things,” said Miller. “The switch from Warner to (South Carolina), that happened so fast, and then, once I got to (South Carolina), I knew, I wanted to be great at anything I do, not just track but anything in general, so I made it work. “I’m glad I’ve made it to where I am, in such a short amount of time.” Miller has grown to love the sport over time. It not only feeds his competitive nature, but also forges mental toughness, he said. Said Miller,“I like to be the best, in anything that I do, but also I started to realize, it’s a very mental sport. You’ve got to be very mentally strong, and that just also helps me with life in general, being able to handle certain situations, having that mental strength to push through anything. “It definitely helps me push through certain situations, but just everyday training, it just makes me mentally stronger.”

Hurricane season could be busy, experts predict As the old adage goes: It’s better to be safe than sorry. Prepare now; you want to be ready if threatening weather heads our way. By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

lorida’s annual Hurricane Season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30, and this year, experts are predicting higher-than-normal activity. Of course, it only takes one hurricane or tropical storm to cause death and destruction. So, here are some practical pointers to help you to prepare for the storm, stay safe when it hits and recover after it.

WHAT TO DO NOW ASSEMBLE HURRICANE KITS Supply kits vary, depending on the size of the family and whether there are infants, elderly people or pets. Be sure to consider individual needs, when assembling your kit. Your pet emergency kit should include: Sturdy leashes, harnesses and/or a carrier; pet food, drinking water, bowls, cat litter, a litter pan; pet health records, current photos of your pets, in case they get lost; pet beds and toys.

IN GENERAL, KITS SHOULD INCLUDE: • Drinking water (at least 1 gallon per person per day, for at least seven days) • Food that doesn’t require refrigeration and a manual can opener. Be sure to have a seven-day supply of food, including items such as protein bars, dried fruit, canned pastas, canned soup, canned tuna, peanut butter, crackers, baby formula, baby food. • A two-week supply of medications • Personal hygiene items, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, wet wipes, deodorant, toilet paper, face masks, hand sanitizer, gloves and diapers, if needed. • Clothing and footwear • Books and games, to help pass the time

In 2018, hurricane Michael was the first Category 5 hurricane to impact the contiguous United States since hurricane Andrew did in 1992. Weather experts are predicting that Hurricane Season 2021 will have higher-than-normal activity.

• Open windows and doors to ventilate and dry your home. • Check refrigerated foods for spoilage. • Beware of snakes, insects and other animals driven to higher ground by floodwater. • Turn power off if house was flooded. • Do not burn charcoal in your house or garage, the fumes can be deadly. • Do not use gas-powered generators indoors or in a garage, the exhaust can be lethal. • If you’re using a generator, do not plug it into a building’s wiring. This can cause generator back-feed, which is extremely dangerous for utility workers and for anyone in the public who comes into contact with a downed electrical wire. • If you have been evacuated, do not return to your home until authorities tell you that it is safe to do so.

Keep up to date about storm dangers • Sign up to ALERT PASCO for emergency updates. Visit bit.ly/AlertPasco • For Hillsborough County emergency updates visit HCFLGov.net/HCFLAlert

OTHER USEFUL ITEMS: • A battery-powered or hand-cranked radio (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Radio) • A first aid kit • A flashlight, batteries, a helmet and a whistle. • A solar-powered phone charger • A printed list of important telephone numbers. • Filter masks to protect your mouth and nose • A whistle to signal for help • Seasonal rain gear, sturdy shoes or boots • Paper plates, plastic utensils, plastic cups • Grill, cooking tools, fuel, charcoal • Hand tools, automotive repair tools • Duct tape and heavyweight garbage bags or plastic sheeting • A wrench or pliers (to turn off utilities)

PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY • Trim your trees and shrubs, to avoid damage from high winds. • Clear out clogged rain gutters and downspouts. • Document your valuables, by making a list of them, and taking photos of them and your property. • Cover windows with pre-cut plywood or hurricane shutters. • Store outdoor furniture, windchimes, garbage cans, decorations, potted plants and other items that could become projectiles in high winds. • If you have a boat, determine how and where to secure it. • If you live in a flood-prone area, use sandbags to help keep water from entering your home or property.

HAVE A PLAN FOR STAYING, OR EVACUATING Whether evacuating or sheltering in

place, be sure to put important documents into a waterproof and fireproof container. These documents can include driver’s licenses, your insurance agent’s name and phone number, copies of medical information, insurance policies, and property inventories. Take photos of your documents or scan them and save them on a USB drive, or a cloud-based computer application.

IF EVACUATING: Have a go bag ready. It should include medications, clothing and important documents. Have an evacuation plan. Check now with family and friends, to see if you can stay with them. If not, look for places to stay that are 10s of miles, rather than hundreds of miles away. Know how to find the state’s evacuation routes. Keep your gas tank 3/4s full or more, during hurricane season. Have cash on hand. If you need assistance to evacuate, be sure to line that up now. If you need to go to a special needs shelter, register now. Be sure to share your evacuation plan with someone who is outside of the danger zone.

IF STAYING: Know what to do, if a storm is threatening. Experts suggest that you: • Go inside immediately; take family and pets with you. • Close all interior doors. Secure and brace exterior doors.Take refuge in a small interior closet, or hallway on the lowest level. Choose a room with as few windows as possible. Lie on the floor under a table or another sturdy object. • Fill bathtubs or buckets with water to use for cleaning and toilet flushing.

IT DOESN’T MAAT ATTER

Plan how you will evacuate, in case you are ordered to do so.

• Monitor local TV stations and radio stations. • Don’t be fooled by a lull in the storm. It could be the eye of the storm and the winds could resume. • Stay in place until advised it’s safe to leave.

STAYING SAFE, AFTER THE STORM • Avoid walking through standing water. Floodwaters may contain fecal matter, bacteria and viruses. • Don’t drive through moving or standing water.Water 2-feet deep can disable most vehicles. • Treat non-functioning traffic signals as a four-way stop. • Observe all barricades and detours. They are there for your protection. • Clear yard of debris or items that can block water flow and storm drains. • Assume downed power lines are live; avoid them. • Keep an eye out for alligators and other wildlife. Floods create an opportunity for them to come into residential areas. • Drain items that collect rainwater to help prevent mosquitoes from breeding. • Re-enter your home with caution.

DEALING WITH PROPERTY DAMAGE • Make emergency repairs to limit the damage. Be sure to keep receipts for tarps, lumber and so on. But be careful, because inexperienced people attempting repairs are sometimes injured. • Take photos of the damage to help in filing insurance claims. • Contact your insurance claims agent as soon as possible. • Be wary of potential scams. Use licensed contractors to make repairs. Be sure to obtain a written estimate or contract. Require start and completion dates, and payment terms in the contract. Do not pay in full before the work begins and do not pay the final balance until the work is finished.

COUNSELING & SUPPORT Living through a disaster can be overwhelming. Take time to process the experience. Reach out to family and friends for support. If additional help is needed, reach out for free counseling services that are available. Children may experience fear, nightmares or other symptoms.Talk to them honestly about the disaster and share your emotions about it.

Millie is very excitable

Millie was born Jan.15, 2020, and adopted from Best Friends Rescue in Georgia in April of last year. She is known for her ‘wiggle butt,’ as she gets so excited to meet new friends that her tail and whole body wiggle from side to side. She loves hunting lizards in the backyard, practicing agility, and hanging out at the Two Shepherds Taproom (and dog park), in Tampa. If she's not doing any of those things, you can find her curled up in her bed, snoring very loudly. Millie lives with her owner, Kaylee Tegeler in Wesley Chapel.

SUPERB SONGBIRD

The common mockingbird is a superb songbird and mimic. Its own song has a pleasant lilting sound and is, at times, both varied and repetitive. The mockingbird also is helpful to humans because it usually feeds on insects and weed seeds. In the summer and fall, it eats ripe berries. Sharon Thompson snapped this photo of a mockingbird perched atop the light pole in front of her home in Wesley Chapel.

Navi loves attention

Smokey is a curious cat

One look at Navi's smiling face and you're sure to fall in love. This sweet, friendly 4-yearold loves people and adores being the center of attention. She has been to dog parks and enjoyed playing with her canine friends. However, she would do best in a home without cats. Navi also isn't fond of sharing her food. Speaking of food, a healthy diet and exercise plan would benefit this 105-pound pup.

Smokey is beautiful inside and out. This sweet 4-year-old has really come out of her shell and is now quite friendly. Smokey likes to relax in her bed, but she also is curious, and will come right up to new people and check them out. Smokey gets along with other cats and loves attention. She likes to be petted and will head butt your hand for more. Smokey would be a wonderful pet for just about any home.

If you would like to adopt Navi or Smokey, be sure to visit Pasco County Animal Services at 19640 Dogpatch Lane in Land O’ Lakes. The adoption center is open Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 6:30 p.m. All adoption fees include spay/neuter, microchip and vaccines. For more information, email adoptionpartners@pascocountyfl.net.

PET PAWS CUPS WITH PUPS The community will have a chance to meet the Pasco Sheriff’s Office (PSO) therapy K9s at a “Cups With Pups” event on July 9 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the Ice Cream Palace, 8641 Little Road in New Port Richey. The PSO currently has three animal-assisted therapy K9s, including two assigned to the Behavioral Health Intervention Team. Guests can enjoy some ice cream while getting to know the K9s. No outside pets will be allowed at the event, for the safety of the animals.

SCALLOP SEASON OPENS

Recreational bay scallop season has opened for Franklin County through the northwestern portion of Taylor County, as well as Levy, Citrus and Hernando counties, and will remain open through Sept. 24. This includes Carrabelle, Lanark, St. Marks, Cedar Key, Crystal River and Homosassa. The daily bag limits in these areas are 2 gallons of whole bay scallops in the shell or 1 pint of bay scallop meat per person, with a maximum of 10 gallons of whole bay scallops in the shell or half-gallon (4 pints) shucked bay scallop meat per vessel. Throughout the season and regionwide, vessel limits do not allow an individual to exceed their personal bag limit. Scallops may be collected by hand or with a landing or dip net. There is no commercial harvest allowed for bay scallops in Florida. Scallop shells should not be discarded in inshore waters, such as the Homosassa River or Crystal River, which are commonly used for recreational activities. The shells can be discarded in a trash receptable or offshore where they are more likely to disperse.

ANIMAL SERVICES RECEIVES GRANT

Pasco County’s pet population will benefit from a $25,000 grant award to Pasco County Animal Services (PCAS) by Petco Love, according to a news release. PCAS will partner with the Humane Society of Pasco County and SPCA Suncoast to use the money to spay and neuter homeless dogs and cats. The grant will help PCAS provide the surgeries without passing the cost along to potential adopters, rescue partners or community cat caregivers. “We’re grateful to Petco Love for helping us combat pet overpopulation,” said PCAS Director Mike Shumate, in the release.“We can also keep animals out of the shelter with our most effective lifesaving tool, which is spaying and neutering.” Petco Love, formerly The Petco Foundation, is a nonprofit organization that promotes the strong bond between people and their pets, through love. The group has donated more than $300 million since 1999, to help with adoption and other lifesaving efforts.

HEALTH ALERT

The Florida Department of Health in Pasco County (DOH-Pasco) has issued an alert to the public about the red tide bloom near Anclote River Park Beach.

DOH-Pasco recommends the following: • Do not swim around dead fish at this location. • Be careful and consider staying away from this location as red tide can affect breathing. • Do not harvest or eat molluscan shellfish and distressed or dead fish from this location. If fish are healthy, rinse fillets with tap or bottled water and throw out the guts. • Keep pets and livestock away from water, sea foam and dead sea life. • Residents living in beach areas are advised to close windows and run the air conditioner. • If outdoors, residents may choose to wear paper filter masks, especially in windy conditions.

Pasco stormwater utility fee expected to stay the same By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

The Pasco County Commission has decided that the county’s stormwater utility fees will remain unchanged for the 2021 fiscal year. The current rate is $95 per equivalent residential unit — which is based on an average amount of impervious area of 2,890 square feet for a single-family home, according to agenda background materials. County staff recommended that the ERU rate and square footage remain the same for the 2021 tax year, and commissioners signaled their approval, without discussion, during their June 22 meeting. The public hearing for the Annual Stormwater Management Utility System Rate Resolution is scheduled for 9 a.m., on Sept. 14, in the board room at the Historic Pasco County Courthouse, at 37918 Meridian Ave., in Dade City. At the hearing, the board must adopt a final rate resolution. It can reduce the fee, but cannot increase it, at that hearing. In other action, commissioners approved these items, without discussion, as part of their consent agenda: • The award of a professional services agreement with HDR Engineering Inc., to provide the required roadway design services for the widening of Old Pasco Road, from north of Deedra Drive to north of Overpass Road, in an amount not to exceed $2,570,032.37. That figure includes $595,973.19 in optional services for fiscal

year 2021. • The appointments of Dennis Baker, representing Tampa North Aero Park, and Spencer Brass, representing Pilot Country Estates Airport, to the Airport Zoning Commission. Zephyrhills Municipal Airport Manager Nathan Coleman will continue to serve on the commission, too. • A contract to Pacscon GeoEnvironmental Inc., for as-needed gopher tortoise surveying, permitting capturing transporting and after-action reports.The contract is for an amount not to exceed $90,000 for fiscal year 2021; not to exceed $90,000 for fiscal year 2022; not to exceed $110,000 in fiscal year 2022 and not to exceed $90,000 in fiscal year 2024.The total not to exceed amount is $400,000. • A task order revision in the amount of $109,910 with Stroud Engineering Consultants to cover additional design and construction inspection engineering services due to the addition of a 16-inch pipeline. The Florida Department of Transportation is fast-tracking the completion of the widening of U.S. 41, from north of Connerton Boulevard to south of State Road 52. After the original task order was approved, additional improvements were identified, which consist of construction of a new 16-inch diameter force main along U.S. 41 to provide wastewater capacity for new development expected to be built in the vicinity in the near future. Including the piping now will help meet future demands and avoid costly work later, according to the agenda materials.

Mural aims to refresh downtown Zephyrhills By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

A downtown public art wall project is aiming to refresh the City of Pure Water. The City of Zephyrhills last month unveiled a vibrant, large-size mural on the south-facing wall of 5210 Seventh St., also home to Painted Pixie hair salon. The mural, roughly 90 feet wide by 9 feet tall, is titled ‘Ocea,’ which means water goddess in Greek mythology. The colorful work was completed by Lakeland-based artist Jonathan Sierra, along with assistant artist Fonz Eljaiek. The duo worked throughout May on the project, sometimes laboring 18-hour days, from early morning to midnight, weathering heat, wind and other conditions. Highlighted by various shades of blue, the mural features a woman’s full face — Ocea — creating ripples in water as she’s lifting her head right above sea level. Other elements and imagery in the piece incorporate aquatic life, such as a manatee and bass, as well as the sun, a lake, forests and hills, spread across waves of blue. It’s estimated a couple gallons of paint were used for the $5,000 piece, made possible through partnerships with the City of Zephyrhills, Zephyrhills Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and Main Street Zephyrhills Inc. Sierra’s proposal was selected from among 26 submissions to the mural design committee for the public art project. Main Street Zephyrhills Inc.’s call for art simply asked for designs that represented Zephyrhills as “The City of Pure Water,” forcing respondents like Sierra to use their imagination and creativity in their drafts. “When Zephyrhills pitched this project… it was a longshot, a shot in the dark,” Sierra said.“I put out a concept of what I thought resonated with what the theme was.” In preparing his scope of work, Sierra researched what scientists have discovered about the water’s properties to gain a “deeper” grasp of where he wanted to go with the piece. “We wanted to establish a wave, we wanted to make an impact that evoked a connection that humanity has with water,” Sierra explained of Ocea. He added the mural otherwise serves to evoke intentions of love, peace, unity, creatives and growth. Besides discussing the meaning of the piece in detail, Sierra was complimentary of the Zephyrhills community, during the May 26 unveiling ceremony that drew dozens of residents and stakeholders. “It has been so overwhelming with the love and support that I’ve experienced with the community here in Zephyrhills,” said

The City of Zephyrhills on May 26 unveiled a vibrant large-size mural on the south-facing wall of 5210 Seventh St. The mural, roughly 90 feet wide by 9 feet tall, is titled ‘Ocea,’ which means water goddess in Greek mythology. The vibrant work was completed by Lakeland-based artist Jonathan Sierra, along with assistant artist Fonz Eljaiek.

Sierra, noting countless locals engaged with the artists during the mural journey. “The people that came by and honked their horns, gave us a fist bump, gave us two thumbs up, have given us so much great feedback and love, and all of that gives us energy and momentum to keep moving on the job and continues to thrill us. It was really fulfilling, the entire process.” Sierra acknowledged beforehand, that really all he knew about the city was the bottled-water brand, Zephyrhills Natural Spring Water. “That’s what everyone usually knows, is the brand,” said Sierra, who runs a firm specializing in advertising, branding and creative designs.“When I started to unpack and find out, (I learned the city) had nothing to do with the water bottle, and the brand at all.” The mural is a first in what Main Street Zephyrhills — which fosters business and family friendly events in the city’s historic

downtown — hopes becomes a full series of public art displays throughout city limits. Based on fundraising efforts, other murals could be coming to one of the fire rescue stations, as well as the Fraternal Order of Eagles building on Fifth Avenue, for instance. “This is a special time for the City of Zephyrhills and Main Street association,” said Main Street Zephyrhills president Linda Kerns, during the ceremony. “Art unites a community and this is our start.We’ll have small (art displays), we’ll have large, but it’s the opportunity for us all to coordinate, to collaborate and become a more solid community.” The mural likewise helps “increase the visibility of Zephyrhills” to visitors and passers-by, Zephyrhills CRA director Gail Hamilton said. The city official pointed out public artwork — murals, statues, sculptures — helps make a city memorable and stand out, refer-

encing St. Petersburg, Winter Park, or Savannah, Georgia. “It’s what makes a town a town, a city a city, and we’re missing that,” Hamilton said. “We want Zephyrhills to be out there. It’s our hometown and we want other people to enjoy our hometown, whether it’s a day, an afternoon, a lunchtime…” The mural also should make Seventh Street and the surrounding downtown area more inviting for residents, Hamilton said, where they may be more inclined to discover local businesses and the walkability of the surrounding area.“It amazes me that people don’t know that we have a walkable downtown,” she said. Sierra took similar views on the significance that public art brings to communities, small and large. “It brings life to the current residents,” he said. “It turns what used to be something that’d you’d ignore, walk past and not really pay attention to, but now, it creates a moment that people are inspired by. “On top of that, it creates a destination spot for Zephyrhills. We can start to build a collection of these going forward with other artists, so that we can bring more people here and continue to grow.” Meantime, Sierra wishes Ocea is a springboard for other amateur and professional artists to have their work on display throughout the small-town East Pasco municipality. “I’m hopeful that it opens up opportunities for other artists,” he said.“I’m hopeful that it opens up the city to new eyes and the city continues to grow.There’s a lot more growth coming into the city, thousands of homes are being built, so I’m hoping this starts a wave of new art, a wave of new culture, a wave of community that lasts for ages.” Main Street Zephyrhills is in the process of raising funds for an ongoing art series, with plans to launch a GoFundMe page for donations.
