Dunn deal: Surprise for new homeowner By Michael Murillo mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com
Mary Maldonado stepped into a driveway in Dade City on Nov. 7 expecting to take a few photos in front of a home she was preparing to buy. She got a lot more than she bargained for. Maldonado arrived with her infant son, Leonni, and was greeted by Warrick Dunn, former NFL player and philanthropist. His charity, Homes for the Holidays, helps single parents realize their dreams of owning a home. Partnering with Habitat for Humanity of East and Central Pasco County, who helped Maldonado through the home-buying process and set her up with an advantageous loan, Dunn wel-
comed her into a fully furnished home with a well-stocked kitchen. From living room furniture to a bedroom set for Leonni, the home was move-in ready. She signed the ownership paperwork, received her keys, and accepted a ceremonial check for $5,000, which went toward her mortgage, courtesy of Homes for the Holidays. Not bad for a Friday morning. “Seeing the house and everything, it definitely paid off,” Maldonado said. “It’s very exciting.” It also was Maldonado’s hard work that paid off to get to this MICHAEL MURILLO/STAFF PHOTO point. As part of Habitat for Humanity’s homebuyer program, Warrick Dunn greeted Mary Maldonado and her son, Leonni, at she had to put in 400 hours of vol- the driveway of the house she was preparing to buy. He surprised her with a fully furnished home, a fully stocked kitchen,

Bill Garrison, commander of American Legion Post 108, marches through Lutz Cemetery, surveying gravestones of military veterans to decorate with an American flag in honor of Veterans Day.
A time-honored tradition to remember those who served By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

The four men came to Lutz Cemetery on a Saturday morning, with a cool breeze stirring the trees, and the sun shining brightly in the clear blue sky. They got to work quickly, each grabbing a supply of American flags and staking out a segment of the cemetery.
The men — Bill Garrison, Ray Mason, Richard Fernandez and Jim Evans — worked their way through the rows of gravestones, looking for those marking the final resting place of men and women who served to protect American freedom. While Garrison, Mason and Fernandez surveyed areas closer to U.S. 41, Evans checked out the rear section of the cemetery. Each time they found a veteran’s
gravestone, they solemnly planted a flag at the edge of the gravestone. Marking the grave with a flag is an act of remembrance, and of respect. It’s something members of American Legion Post 108 do at Lutz Cemetery every Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Veterans Day. The flags remain until a day after Veterans Day, when the men come back to recover them. The flags honor veterans from World War I,World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam War.There’s even a grave of a Civil War soldier and another of a Spanish-American War soldier a soldier, Mason said.

Auto mechanics class for girls only proves popular By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com
When Wesley Chapel High School decided to launch an auto mechanics class just for girls, instructor Jeff Corliss thought that maybe 10 to 20 girls would sign up. Instead, so many females expressed an interest that the school set up two sections of the class. “It kind of spread like wildfire through word of mouth,” said Corliss, who leads the school’s Academy of Automotive Technology. He and Brad Odell, the school’s other automotive instructor, teach the two all-female auto mechanics classes. “I’m teaching the same things as I would teach the boys in auto I, but I put a different spin on it,” Corliss said. The emphasis of the class, also known as the Lady Wildcat Pit Crew, is on how to handle roadside emergencies, how to maintain a car at home, and how to choose a new or used car, he said. The girls recently learned how to do an oil change. On Nov. 5, they practiced what they had learned by doing an oil change on a car that belongs to Corliss’ wife. As the students prepared to do the oil change, the girls did the routine checks that are done at a garage when a car comes in for an oil change. They checked the fluid levels, the belts, the tire pressure and tread. As they went along, Corliss stopped them occasionally to share some tips.When filling a coolant reservoir, for instance, Corliss recommends turning the coolant bottle sideways, instead of tilting it forward, to prevent unwanted spills. He also offered reminders about signs of wear on belts and tire tread. The girls appeared to be taking everything in. They weren’t afraid to get their hands dirty, either. Corliss hopes the class will give the girls information they can use for life. He wants them to know what to do if they wind up stranded by the side of the road. He also wants to equip them with knowledge to help them when they’re having their car repaired, or they’re purchasing a new or used car. “I was young the first time I went to a

Students in the auto I at Wesley Chapel High School say that enjoy learning about the basic maintenance of cars because they want to be better equipped when they shop for cars or have one repaired. Some taking part in the class are, from left, Bridget Robinson, Rayah Reitnauer, Caitlyn Gaffney, Brittany Buchanan, Savannah Sweet and Clarissa Hagen.
car dealership, and I probably got taken advantage of just as much as anybody else,” Corliss said. To help counter that, he plans to invite a used car manager and a new car manager to come to the school to present lessons on the ins and outs of buying a car. “What should you be looking at? What kind of repairs will this car need? Is it worth the asking price?” Corliss said.“When I go looking at a used car, I already know what it’s going to cost to fix it. I’ve got that as a bargaining chip. I want to give that to the kids, too.” At a repair shop, he said, it’s easy to be intimidated by a lack of knowledge. He offers this advice:“I would ask to see the part and have them explain to you why you need to spend that money. Don’t just take their

word for it.” “Have them explain in detail,” Corliss added. Be wary of people who use vague terms and who can’t explain why a part no longer works. In some cases, it’s worth getting a second opinion, even if that requires paying for another diagnostic test.“Have them explain in detail, what does that actually mean?” he said. The girls usually are in class three days a week, and are in the shop two days a week. If something especially interesting is going on in the shop, Corliss said he has the flexibility to rearrange his class schedule so the girls can take a look. For many of the girls, the class may be their only exposure to the world of auto mechanics. But for others, it could be the start of a new career path.
WE SUPOORT OUR TROOPS!
“If they want to use this as jumping-off point they can,” Corliss said.“They can move on through the rest of the academy.” Rebecca Jarke, the assistant principal who oversees the academy, said she’s happy that the school has launched this class. “On so many levels, it’s just empowering for girls,” Jarke said. After taking the class, the girls will be better equipped to go to a repair garage or a car dealership and “talk the talk,” Jarke said, because they’ve had a chance to develop knowledge. “It’s a safe learning environment,” she said.“It levels the playing field for them to be able to ask questions, and learn the skills necessary to be able to talk about cars and have those conversations without feeling intimidated.” The class also may enable some students to discover a career path they may not have otherwise considered, Jarke said. Students give the class good marks. Caitlyn Gaffney, 16, said she wanted to take the class to learn basic car knowledge skills. “I figured I could come here and learn the skills I needed, in case I were to break down on the side of the road,” she said. She feels confident she’ll learn that in her class. “Mr. Corliss, he’s a pretty good teacher,” Gaffney said. Brianna Proctor, 16, said she’s learned quite a bit in the class, and is gaining confidence in her knowledge. “I didn’t know about cars before,” she said. People always think boys know more about cars than girls, Proctor said.With what she is learning, however, she thinks she may be able to work on her own car one day. Freshman Abigail Monticco said her grandfather used to work for Ford, so she had a natural interest in the class.The class was appealing, she said, because she wants to know the basics. She also likes the idea of being able to know whether someone is trying to rip her off. Beyond all that, the 14-year-old said she enjoys the other students in the class and the feeling of family they share. “It’s fun,” Monticco said. “We all love Corliss.”

Tuffy, Arby’s land have new owners
You’ll Adore Our FLOORS
By Michael Hinman mhinman@lakerlutznews.com
The end of the year is approaching, meaning it’s time for some commercial landowners to rethink their holdings. So recent sales of property currently occupied by companies like Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center of Land O’ Lakes and Arby’s in Lutz probably won’t be the last Pasco County sees before Christmas. 3A LLC, the owner of the Tuffy property at 3530 Land O’ Lakes Blvd., sold the halfacre parcel Oct. 28 for $1.7 million to BL Ground Leasing LLC, a company based in Chicago.That’s far more than what 3A originally purchased that lot for in 2006, when it picked up vacant land for $375,000. 3A built the service shop there in 2009. The “BL” in BL Ground Leasing likely stands for Bernard Leviton, who is listed as the president of the company, according to Florida state corporation records. He shares an address with Metropolitan Rental Corp., out of Chicago, which — according to its website — is a boutique real estate firm that owns apartment buildings around Chicago. The company adds that “all aspects of our business are done under one roof, and open seven days a week.” The company’s website does not list any property holdings outside of Illinois. The Tuffy property had originally been owned by David Mayer of Kentucky, who purchased it for $97,000 in 1990, according to property records. The second land sale toward the end of October involved the Arby’s location at 22820 State Road 54 in Lutz. Olympus BK LLC sold that land for $1.7 million to JLD Realty Inc., and Longwood Realty Corp. of Kissimmee. Details about this new owner are not clear. Neither JLD Realty nor Longwood

Realty is registered with Florida’s corporation division. They are both described as New York companies with an address at 4730 Oren Brown Road in Kissimmee. That property, according to Osceola County property records, is owned by Diamond Investments Inc., which lists its president as Darryl Diamond of Inglis. An online social media profile of a Darryl Diamond in the Kissimmee area says he has been a real estate auctioneer for Diamond Investments since 1980, and also spent 25 years as president of Sparkle Motors, beginning in 1960. There is a Sparkle Motors location on U.S. 1 in Port Orange. Olympus BK bought the property in 2003 for $827,500 from The Estate of Tropical King LP of Tampa, which itself purchased the vacant 1-acre parcel in 1995 for $350,000, and built the Arby’s location there a short time later. It’s not clear if either land purchase will affect the businesses there, but it’s not expected.

Money spoke loudly in this year’s election By Michael Hinman and B.C. Manion The Laker/Lutz News
He showed up around 6:30 a.m., just as the sun was starting to rise above the horizon. His place was in a side parking lot at Bridgeway Church, located on Wells Road in Wesley Chapel, and he came ready for the day. Nick Burgess put signs up around his pickup truck, touting his older brother Danny Burgess, who was running for Florida House District 38. Nick was staying until polls closed at 7 p.m., and he had brought enough food to tide him over until then, and a restroom just inside the church to help get him through the long day. Burgess was happy to be there, however. He wanted to show support for his brother, who was facing Beverly Ledbetter in the race to replace Will Weatherford in Tallahassee.And he has supported him from the beginning, especially when Danny told his family for the first time that he was going to run. “I’m behind you 100 percent,” Nick told Danny.“The whole family is.That’s what it takes.” The community was behind Danny Burgess as well, giving him 60 percent of the vote and a rather seamless journey from when he was an 18-year-old Zephyrhills City Council member, to the 28-year-old man he is now representing eastern Pasco County in the state House.To do that, however, he had to get past retired educator Beverly Ledbetter, who felt there was a lot she could do in the Legislature. But if nothing else, she wanted to make sure voters had a choice.
B.C. MANION/STAFF PHOTO
Nick Burgess promoted his older brother Danny to voters all day Election Day from the bed of his pickup truck at Bridgeway Church in Wesley Chapel. Danny Burgess won his first state House election with 60 percent of the vote.
“I was excited by the fact that many people, for the first time, were getting involved in the political process,” Ledbetter said. “They were walking neighborhoods, putting up signs, and making phone calls.That is an accomplishment.” While Ledbetter felt she had local support from a dedicated group of people, one place she didn’t get much help from was the Democratic Party — at either the state or local level. Burgess picked up more than $23,000 in support from the Republican
machine, while the other major party chipped in just a little more than $2,000 to Ledbetter’s campaign. “You have to have money to actually get your message out,” Ledbetter said.“Besides your newspaper, none of the other major newspapers covered any of the local races, so people didn’t really get a great deal of information.” She is still trying to figure out why the party virtually ignored this race, which she feels could’ve made a huge statement if
Democrats claimed a seat currently held by the Republican House Speaker, Will Weatherford. “That is part of the problem with people wanting to run, is that the state party gives you absolutely no support,” Ledbetter added. Burgess took 60 percent of the vote, and another Republican — Mike Moore — had about the same success in his race to replace Pasco County commissioner Pat Mulieri. Despite not picking up endorsements from regional news outlets, or Mulieri herself, Moore spent a lot of money to beat Erika Remsberg in the District 2 race. Moore finished with more than 91,000 votes in the race, and paid about $1.82 per vote received. Remsberg had a little more than 63,500 votes, paying out just 17 cents per vote, which shows the rather large gap between fundraising. Remsberg won just 11 percent of the precincts voting by an average of 46 votes, according to unofficial results from the Pasco County Supervisor of Elections office. Her biggest margin was the precinct at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Port Richey, one of the few precincts in the county that has more Democrats than Republicans. Early in her race, Remsberg knew her chances against a well-financed candidate in a Republican-leaning county were not the greatest, but the Land O’ Lakes social worker looked forward to the opportunity to run. “I love going for the underdog,” Remsberg told The Laker/Lutz News back in July. “It’s just that this time it’s me, which is a new experience for me. But I’m good with grassroots efforts and community organization, and I’m getting out wherever I can to share a message of how we all need to work together.”

DUNN, from page 1A unteer work, which she scheduled around her full-time job. She also attended special classes on home maintenance and safety to prepare for ownership and help her navigate through unfamiliar challenges. The volunteer hours and classes are worth it when their customers finally see themselves as homeowners, according to Gloria Sadler, director of family services for Habitat for Humanity. “They’re humble.They can’t believe it,” she said.“They can’t believe that I got them to this point.” Sadler teaches the homeowner classes and walks the homebuyer through each step in the process, explaining forms and helping them get their paperwork together.
While Habitat for Humanity provides a no-down payment, interest-free loan, applicants need to meet certain criteria to be eligible. They must have a need for affordable housing and have been at their current employer for at least one year. And while they don’t need perfect credit or a specific credit score, applicants must demonstrate that they have a history of taking responsibility for their debts. “Not everyone qualifies,” explained Stephanie Black, director of development and public relations at Habitat for Humanity.“We’re not doing them any favors by putting them into a home that they can’t afford.” As a result of the screening process, volunteer work and classes, default rates are very low. This was the 140th event for Homes for
the Holidays, and Dunn — a former Tampa Bay Buccaneer — has been to almost all of them in the charity’s 17 years. For Maldonado’s celebration, he had to drive in from Atlanta. But he believes it’s important to attend each one while he can. “For me, it’s the experience,” Dunn said. “Getting those expressions and how they react.” Sometimes the reactions come later, after the presentation and when the new homeowner can sit in their house and realize it really belongs to them. While he often has to travel to attend the events — Homes for the Holidays has helped families in a dozen cities and plans to keep growing — Dunn pays for all his travel expenses out of his own pocket. Dunn’s charity honors his mother, Betty Smothers, who died before realizing her
own dream of home ownership. Now his charity helps single families realize that dream, and Dunn said he witnessed the true importance of charity’s work after he saw the first event covered on television. “When I went home and I watched the news, then it really hit me, the impact that I had that day,” he said.“Now I really understand the impact on the community.” Habitat for Humanity’s impact is seen in new homeowners like Maldonado and those who are going through the process of buying a home. And completing that process results in a great deal of satisfaction for both the homeowner, and Habitat for Humanity’s employees as well. “I love it,” Sadler said.“To see the smile on the family’s faces, to get to know the kids and the family, it’s an honor and a privilege to work for Habitat for Humanity.”
FLAGS, from page 1A The ritual of remembering men and women who served has been going on for close to 30 years, said Mason, the post’s adjutant. Each time, they post about 200 flags.“We used to do more cemeteries, but membership dwindled,” said Garrison, the post commander. As World War II veterans die, the post’s membership has declined. Now, the post — which draws its members from Lutz and Land O’ Lakes — has 97 members, Garrison said. There are around 200 veterans buried in Lutz Cemetery, he said. “There’s a lot of sacrifice here,” said Garrison, who served in the U.S.Air Force as a code breaker. Fernandez, a past commander and the current financial officer for the post who served in the U.S. Coast Guard, said he takes part in the flag postings to honor those who have courageously served this country. “Unfortunately they don’t get the honor and respect that they deserve,” Fernandez said. Respect for veterans has improved, however, said Mason, who served in the U.S. Navy. “Every once in awhile I wear my hat out, and I can’t believe the number of people who come up and say,‘Thank you for your service,’” he said. That’s a far different response than the one he received when he first finished military service. “When I got out in ’65, everybody was against the war, all of that anti-Vietnam stuff,” said Mason, who did not serve in Vietnam. He was surprised by the negative reception.
LOCAL, from page 1A she received locally, according to an analysis of campaign finance records by The Laker/Lutz News. She paid nearly $15,600 to Sonic Print in Tampa in the last reporting period alone, for what were described as mailers. Another $440 went to a company called Parkway Strategies in Tallahassee for what the campaign said was “strategic communications.” Although his local spending was much better than Ledbetter’s, Danny Burgess — who eventually would win the House seat — was still behind all four county commission candidates tracked. He spent more than $35,000 locally, but sent $96,000 away. Not having services available locally shows the need for such services to be de-
Jim Evans posts flags along a trio of gravestones of military veterans at Lutz Cemetery. He cares deeply about honoring the men and women who have fought to preserve the freedoms that Americans enjoy.
Ray Mason says it’s important to honor veterans who made sacrifices in their personal lives to protect American freedoms. Members of American Legion Post 108 carry numerous flags around, and post them near the gravestones of men and women who served in the nation’s armed forces.
“I was taken back,” Mason said. Evans, who served in the How to help U.S.Army during Vietnam and during The American Legion Post 108 meets at 2 p.m., the first Gulf War, said posting the every third Wednesday at the Land O’ Lakes flags at the cemetery provides a Community Center at 5401 Land O’ Lakes Blvd. If sense of satisfaction. you would like to get involved in a future flag post“It gives you a nice feeling to have ing or contribute funds to purchase additional them remembered,” he said. flags, email Bill Garrison at billdg1@verizon.net The men do the best they can to ensure they honor each veteran buried there.They look at the gravestones “I hate to miss one,” Evans said.“It really for any indication of military service. hurts me if I miss a veteran.We always make “Sometimes it is just a little notation on an extra sweep, and we always find some there,” Evans said. that we missed.” To make sure he didn’t miss any, Evans estimates he’s posted flags at the Garrison kicks leaves off of graves, and cemetery about 20 times. Sometimes, the scrapes off dirt.The other men made close work is easier than others. During the reinspections, too. cent posting, conditions were pleasant.
But the heat can be brutal during the Memorial Day and Fourth of July postings, or sometimes it’s pouring rain. “There have been times after a heavy rain where you almost sink,” Garrison said. “We slop through the mess.” On the upside, though,“there’s no problem with putting them (the flags) in,” he added. After they post the flags and complete their sweep, the men conclude by playing “Taps,” — a final tribute for those who served.
veloped, Ledbetter said. But there are still many services available locally which candidates looked outside of Pasco for, especially printing.And companies like Point to Point Printing in Land O’ Lakes feel it when money isn’t spent here. “There are plenty of people here,” said Point to Point’s owner Denny Esber. He saw about $10,000 worth of work this election cycle from candidates like Moore and former county commissioner Henry Wilson Jr. But there was still more he and other business owners missed out on. “With jobs like this, the money comes back and then I can re-spend that money in this community,” Esber said. “It just keeps going and going and going and going.” A lot of money leaves the county for advertising and consulting. In the last two weeks of his campaign, Burgess spent $61,500. However, just $4,000 of that — less
ing amount was so low,” Remsberg said in an email. “Must be because the Tarpon union printer I used was just over the border. Secondly, I think reporting the amounts donated is more important than the percentages. Given the vast difference in amounts donated to our contributions, I think percentages do not paint the picture as well as the dollar amount does.” Twice in October, Moore spent more than $20,000, but less than 6 percent remained local. Instead, he spent $37,323 with Majority Strategies in Ponte Vedra for advertising, and nearly $3,000 with Allegra Marketing in Tampa for printing. Even food preparation was not something Moore could find locally, spending $2,224 for food at a fundraiser supplied by Catering by the Family in Tampa. Moore did not respond to a request for comment.
than 7 percent — stayed local. Instead, nearly $57,000 was paid to a pair of Jensen Beach companies for advertising. In all, Burgess spent $81,500 with that company, or 63 percent of his total expenditures. That’s enough alone to create four full-time jobs at $10 an hour. Ledbetter on the other hand spent $22,209 with Sonic Print, or 69 percent of her total expenditures, sending all that money to Tampa’s Carrollwood area. But the commission races weren’t much different. Moore only kept 34 percent of his spending local, but his opponent — Erika Remsberg — didn’t do much better at 39 percent. Since the end of February, both candidates sent $115,000 out of the county, some $30,000 more than what they wanted taxpayers to pay them each year in salary as a commissioner. “First, I was disappointed my local spend-

When the Steinbrenner High School band isn’t performing, they’re practicing. And when they’re not practicing, they’re raising money for their trip to the Liberty Bowl later this year.
Steinbrenner’s band needs big bucks for bowl trip By Michael Murillo mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com
The Steinbrenner High School Band is planning a trip to perform at a college bowl game later this year.To get there, they’ll need hard work and determination. They’ll also need more than $70,000. That’s the cost to accommodate more than 90 people traveling to Memphis, Tennessee, for the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, on Dec. 29. “It is a lot of money,” admitted band director Nicole Conte. “We’ve done some smaller trips that have cost about half that, but this is a pretty big one.” It’s so big that the band is getting creative about raising funds. They’ll host a casino night on Nov. 8 at Cheval Golf and Country Club, 4312 Cheval Blvd., in Lutz, from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. On Nov. 16, they’ll have a mattress sale at the school’s gymnasium from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Current fundraising and early payments have helped the band get close to half of their goal, leaving plenty more money that needs to be raised. But from personal experience, Conte feels it’s worth it. “We did several things like that when I was in high school band, too, and those are memories that I’ve carried with me all my life, and some of the most exciting things I’ve ever done,” she said. When Conte was going to school in Naples, her high school band performed at a Miami Dolphins game. She was excited to play in front of such a large group, and wants her band to share that kind of experience. That doesn’t mean the entire trip will simply be a vacation for the band.There are competitive elements to the event as well. In addition to participating in the halftime show with other bands from different states, they’ll also be part of a field competition before the event. The winning band gets to perform solo as part of the pre-game ceremony. Conte wants to win that competition,
and continue the tradition of success she’s established at Steinbrenner. She’s been with the school since it opened in 2009, and has 17 years of experience leading bands.They consistently earn a rating of “superior” in their assessments, and they won their division at the Lion’s Pride band competition this year at King High School in Temple Terrace. Three years ago, Steinbrenner also was named grand champion of that event. To stay focused for their upcoming performance and prepare to face some tough competition, Conte is putting the band through their paces in practices and going over segments of their musical routines repeatedly to ensure their playing is sharp and their timing is right. In her experience, that’s the only way to achieve the kind of success she wants. “It’s practice and hard work. I think talent really has little to do with success,” she said.“It really boils down to determination and willingness to work hard to get the job done.” Band members have displayed a willingness to work hard because of Conte’s leadership. Sam Goldstein, who plays tuba among other instruments, said the band has seen Conte’s experience in action, and knows that her decisions lead to good outcomes. “She’s done it for 17 years, and she doesn’t have to think about anything that she does,” he said of Conte.“She tells us what to do and somehow everything works out. I look up to her as a third parent, almost.” As a result, band members believe Conte when she says the practices and the fundraising will be worth the effort once they set foot in Tennessee for the school’s first band trip to a college bowl game. “This is our first one,” Conte said. “I’ve never done one before, either. I’m very excited, and the kids are very excited.” For more information about the Steinbrenner High School Band and its fundraising efforts, call Steinbrenner at (813) 792-5131, or visit SteinbrennerBand.com.

Playoff foe awaits district champ Sunlake By Michael Murillo
Playoff Schedule
mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com
Each year, high school football teams enter the season with specific goals. Some achieve them, and others fall short. For Sunlake High School, the goal since the school’s inception has been to claim a district title. And every year they’ve fallen short of that goal. Until this year. The Seahawks survived a three-way tiebreaker on Nov. 3 that had teams playing one quarter of football against each other to determine a winner.As a result, they’ll enter the playoffs with the title of district champion of Class 6A-District 6, an accomplishment that’s not lost on head coach Bill Browning. “It’s very gratifying.The kids worked very hard for it,” said Browning, who has been with the school since it opened in 2007. Back then, the team was essentially a junior varsity squad, he said, and were out-matched at every turn. But over the years, Browning and his staff have built a successful program, finally claiming that elusive district title this season. As a result, Browning let himself enjoy the moment. For a few hours, anyway. By the next morning, it was on to game preparations, and getting his team prepared for the games in front of them. “You meet one challenge and then you go on to the next challenge,” he said.“That’s the competitive nature.” The challenge in the playoffs will be a home tilt against Vanguard High School on Nov. 14. Located in Ocala, the Knights don’t seem too formidable on paper.They’re just 4-5 on the season, and claimed a playoff spot as runner-up in District 5 with a 2-2 record. They were 1-4 on the road, and gave up an average of nearly 47 points in their five losses. But Browning and the Seahawks won’t make any assumptions with regard to Vanguard.They’ve faced them in the playoffs before, winning a close contest, and know that any team that makes the postseason has talent. To be successful, Sunlake will rely on the players like Naejaun Jackson, a running back and receiver who has given the offense a spark in the second half of the season. Browning described Jackson as the “lightning” to running back Nathan Johnson’s “thunder.” While the experience of entering the playoffs as a district champion is a new experience for Sunlake, it’s nothing new for Browning.A high school coach for 25 years,

he also earned district titles for Springstead High School and Hernando High School before taking the job to start the Seahawks’ program from scratch. But this one is special, in part because his biggest fan isn’t here to watch the games anymore. His father, Maurice, passed away this past summer at age 95. During his son’s tenure the older Browning attended every Sunlake football game. In the last contest he saw, the spring classic game, Browning’s father saw the team that would eventually earn the school its first district title. And his assessment of his son’s team at the time? “After the classic, his words to me were, ‘You’ve got your work cut out for you,’” Browning recalled. After a lot of hard work, Sunlake is not only a district champion for the first time, but a playoff host as well. Browning hopes those advantages will help the team go farther this year than during previous campaigns. “The farthest we’ve gotten is the second
round in the playoffs,” Browning said.‘That’s our goal now, to go farther than any Sunlake team has.” While Sunlake has been able to console themselves with playoff runs while they sought a district title, it was a different story for Zephyrhills High School. But they snapped an eight-year playoff drought with their own tie-breaker game, and will head to the playoffs as the Class 5A-District 7 runner-up. While the Bulldogs can be proud of accomplishing a major goal for 2014, there’s just one problem:The actual playoffs haven’t even started yet. So now what? “You feel really good for a short time, but you know you’ve got to get back to work and start over,” Zephyrhills coach Reggie Roberts said.“Our objective is not just to get there. It’s to perform once we get to the playoffs.” Soon after he was drenched in a celebratory bath from the water cooler, Roberts already was thinking of the Bulldogs’ playoff strategy.

SUNLAKE VOLLEYBALL WINS REGIONAL TOURNAMENT
The Sunlake Seahawks volleyball team made the playoffs for the first time in school history, but they didn’t stop there. Their first regional tournament was a success, defeating Weeki Wachee and Hernando to reach the finals.There, they defeated Bellevue in a tough five-set match on Nov. 8 to claim the regional title and move on to the state semifinals. The Seahawks (25-5) face Merritt Island (23-7) on Nov. 13. If they win, it’s on to the Class 5A state championship the next day, where they’d face the winner of Jacksonville’s Bishop Kenny and Tampa’s Robinson.

SOCCER LEAGUE REGISTRATION OPEN
The Greater Tampa Bay Football Club is now accepting registrations for its fall and
And Zephyrhills isn’t expecting a warm welcome in their return to the postseason. Their first match-up will be Nov. 14 at Live Oak to face Suwannee High School, a team that didn’t need any tiebreakers to qualify for the playoffs. With a perfect 9-0 overall record headed into their final regular season game, Suwannee dominated District 5 with a 6-0 mark.The Bulldogs finished at 9-1 after a 42-14 loss to Columbia High School from Lake City. The team — also nicknamed the Bulldogs — has held opponents to seven points or less four separate times, while being held under 30 themselves just once. The key to the Zephyrhills’ success, according to Roberts, will be not changing things just because it’s the playoffs. From coaching to practice to execution, he wants his team to utilize the same strengths that helped them reach the postseason. “We have to go with what got us there, and we have to do what we’ve done all year long,” he said. “We have to play consistent football on both sides of the ball.” Roberts knows first-hand the importance of ending the season strong. As an all-state linebacker for Zephyrhills, he made the playoffs in his senior season back in 1989. His defensive coordinator, Booker Pickett, also was on that team. But they lost their playoff game, a match-up Roberts still remembers well and thinks they could have won. He doesn’t want his team ending their year with a feeling that they could have done more in the postseason, and his focus is on getting them as prepared as possible to be successful. But Roberts also wants them to enjoy the moment the way he did when he played in the postseason, and appreciate the special atmosphere. “The crowd, it was so packed there was no room to sit,” Roberts recalled. “It was tremendous. It was like a college atmosphere. It was great small-town football. “That’s why you want to get there. To create those memories.” winter soccer league. The league is open to boys and girls in north Hillsborough and Pasco counties from ages 5-19. Each team will have one practice day per week, and a game on Saturdays.

olunteers, including several people from Home Depot on North Dale Mabry Highway, came out to the Central Pasco Chamber of Commerce recently to help spruce up their headquarters along Land O’ Lakes Boulevard.
The biggest change people will see is a new color.The beige, which caused a lot of people to overlook the office over the years, was replaced with a tropical blue. Even some of the landscaping was touched up a bit to add some more color, creating a vibrant new look for the chamber.
It took teamwork by volunteers who participated in the work party at the Central Pasco Chamber of Commerce building on Land O’ Lakes Boulevard.
Volunteers like Pasco County Schools staff member Helen Rodriguez of Land O’ Lakes, top, and Home Depot employee Larry Andrews of Tampa, helped to not only give the Central Pasco Chamber of Commerce’s sign a new coat of paint, but also to complement it with flowers and mulch.

Send business news to mhinman@lakerlutznews.com
PASCO HOME SALES DROP IN OCTOBER Home sales in Pasco County were down quite a bit in October, but median sales are on the rise. An unofficial analysis of home sales by The Laker/Lutz News through the Pasco County Property Appraiser’s office showed 771 residential properties changing hands through the traditional warranty deed method last month, totaling $100.1 million. That was down from 1,016 properties sold the year before for $121.1 million. Yet, both the medial price and the average square foot price were on the rise for homes in Pasco. The median grew from $90,000 last year to $105,000 this year, while home prices themselves rose from $71 per square foot, to $81. Distressed sales, typically created by foreclosures, also rose from the previous year by 43 percent, with $16.7 million changing hands through the certificate of title process, compared to $8.9 million in 2013. However, the median price of those sales also rose from $32,100 to $43,050. Square foot prices expanded from $35 to $44. Pasco sold 79 mobile homes in October at a median price of $36,500, or $39 per square foot.At the same time, 28 condominiums were sold at a median price of $44,000, or $52 per square foot. Both are down from October 2013 numbers where 101 mobile homes and 64 condos sold. The mobile homes had a median price then of $44,750, or $39 per square foot, while the median price for the condos were $45,000, or $54 per square foot.
