The global impact of cyber crimes is likely to skyrocket over the next several years, Sri Sridharan, a cyber security expert predicts. Sridharan, managing director and chief executive officer of the Florida Center for Cybersecurity at the University of South Florida, was the keynote speaker during the Cybersecurity Symposium at PascoHernando State College, on Oct. 11. Hacking, he said, continues to be a “serious problem” in the realm of cyber security. “It’s a huge crime that’s taking place on a daily basis,” Sridharan said.“There’s lots of people wanting to steal your personal information, and steal intellectual property.” The latest statistics related to cyber crime are staggering. According to a recent study by Juniper Research, the global impact on cyber crimes was about $400 billion in 2015. By 2019, the market research organization projects the impact will be approximately $2.1 trillion. “In my opinion, that number is going to be even higher,” Sridharan said.“Every second, at least 22 records are breached.That’s about 2 million (records) per day.” Sridharan said hackers often focus on high-value industries — healthcare, manufacturing, and financial services — to access and modify information. “No longer is this a backdoor problem,” he said.“It’s moved to boardrooms of corpo-

rations. Boards of directors now have a fiscal responsibility to make sure the information they have is well protected. Otherwise, they can get sued.” Yet, many organizations haven’t put safety measures in place to protect against such threats. A 2016 global economic crime survey by the consulting firm PricewaterHouseCooper (PwC) found that 32 percent of organizations were affected by cyber crime last year. Moreover, the survey found only 37 percent of organizations have a cohesive plan in response to cyber incident, or breach. “Organizations need to have a plan.That’s

extremely important,” Sridaran said. That starts with practicing what Sridharan refers to as “good cyber hygiene.” For businesses, that encompasses several steps: use a secure ecommerce platform; deploy SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption; and utilize firewalls, multi-factor authentication and site backups. “Don’t just have (employees) use a password to get into the system. Have them go through one or two more steps to make...it very difficult for the bad guys to penetrate your system,” Sridharan explained. See CYBER, page 11A

OCTOBER 19, 2016

Pasco County’s Development Review Committee has given its first stamp of approval to a pilot program to create a futuristic, technology-based network of communities across more than 7,800 acres in northeast Pasco County. But that’s just one step in the review process. State legislators approved the Connected City in 2015, and selected Pasco as the site for the project. The Pasco County Commission also gave the concept for Connected City its OK, via a resolution. The county’s Development Review Committee voted on Oct. 13 to recommend changes to the county’s long-range land use planning and development codes to lay out the legal framework for Connected City. Additional votes by the review committee will be needed on a range, including financial and road plans. Those issues are expected to considered in November. But those are actions are merely recommendations.The Pasco County Commission has the final word. If Connected City gains needed approvals, it is expected to have considerable impact on the county. It is projected to have about 96,000 employees, and about 37,000 homes and apartments when it is entirely built out, which expected to take about 50 years. “In the long run, this is going to make Pasco a premier county,” said Ernest Monaco, the county’s assistant planning and development director. Not everyone agrees with that vision. Some residents who live within the district worry about losing the rural lifestyle of northeast Pasco to Connected City’s urgan lifestyle. “I’m not willing to give up my slice of

ruralness,” said Jennifer McCarthy, who lives on Kenton Road. McCarthy opposes plans to turn Kenton into a four-lane paved roadway, that she says likely will turn a local road into a heavily travelled thoroughfare. There also will be harm done to wildlife in habitats on both sides of Kenton, she said. “Wildlife is not going to be able to pass through here,” McCarthy said. “It doesn’t make sense to ruin conservation areas to make it a pass through for all the subdivisions to the north.” County officials suggested a willingness to look at the issue. “Let’s explore it and find the answers,” said Pasco County Administrator Michele Baker. Connected City has its fans, too. Margaret Tingley, president of Tingley Systems, Inc. in San Antonio, described Connected City as “a dream come true.” “You’re centrally located to all of Pasco County. It’s a great place to show what you can become,” she said.“Technology is the wave of the future. The new Connected City is the wave of the future.” Efforts to craft a master plan have taken about 17 months. “I’m actually proud we spent 17 months trying to do something different,” said attorney Joel Tew, who represents Metro Development Group.“This was not an accident. We purposely selected Pasco County over competing counties.” Connected City is expected to become the first gigabit community in the nation that is built from the ground up. Metro Development is partnering with Pasco County on the first neighborhoods that will be built in the Connected City network. Boundaries generally are Interstate 75, State Road 52, Overpass Road and Curley See CONNECTED, page 11A

Tourism in Pasco County is on a launching pad, as county officials prepare for what they hope to be an explosion of visitors — sampling the county’s shops, malls, restaurants, hotels and future sports complexes. County commissioners are reviewing proposals for a sports complex at Wiregrass Ranch, with about an $8.5 million investment. Florida Hospital Center Ice is expected to open in early 2017, and to become a draw for local, state and national sports competitions. Bed tax revenues are estimated to push past the $1 million mark in 2016.And, under a tourism master plan, county officials anticipate the 2 percent bed tax rate to increase to 5 percent by 2019, with revenues reaching nearly $3 million. To tackle upcoming challenges from this record growth, Pasco is looking to reorganize the tourism office, and hire a tourism director. “It’s growing to a pretty big operation,” said Richard Gehring, the county’s strategic policy administrator.“We’re going to be on another plateau as we compete in the Tampa Bay region.This is the next step up.” Two to three candidates were identified and interviewed. County officials now are making an offer, and negotiating salary and benefits. The issue came up at the County Commission’s Oct. 11 meeting.

Riding the Route 54 County Connector By Tom Jackson

tjackson@lakerlutznews.com

T

hey cut the ribbon on a posh new bus a few weeks ago, signaling optimistic expansion of Pasco County’s two-year-old east-west route linking Zephyrhills and New Port Richey. Assembled under a fan-cooled tent in the parking lot of the Medical Center at Trinity, officials spoke buoyantly about the future of mass transit in Pasco County, with the bus in the background lending physical evidence to their commitment. And, what evidence it is. Sleek. Ocean blue, emblazoned with a green and yellow stripe undulating across the side — a wave below a bright ball of sun and a seagull taking wing. Inside, more blue. Soothing. Welcoming. Comfy, upholstered padded seats that say, sit, rest, stay awhile. Overhead, adjustable air conditioning vents and reading lights, just like on intra-city buses and airliners. Upscale. And, that’s not all. Over the next several months, they’ll add free Wi-Fi, introducing the option of online productivity or entertainment to your ride, while Pasco County Public Transportation drivers get you pretty close to where you need to go. It’s all perfectly splendid. But, so far, it’s also all a dream. Not that the new buses, two of them, aren’t authentic. Or, that Pasco’s commitment to mass transit isn’t both enthusiastic and genuine. But, there’s a reason there’s no mention of “rapid” in the system’s official name, as we shall see. Let’s be clear. If, just now, it serves as nothing more than a symbolic reminder that Pasco is a single, unified entity, and not some geographic hybrid stitched together by whimsical bureaucrats and maintained by stubborn tradition, then the connector serves a valuable purpose.

COURTESY OF PASCO COUNTY

Pasco County is using this new bus in an expansion of its east-west route, linking Zephyrhills and New Port Richey.

Still, the additional buses, acquired through a $1.031 million grant from the Florida Department of Transportation, represent a severe test of the “Field of Dreams” launching instructions. If they drive them, will riders come? Having traveled the line, designated the “Route 54 County Connector,” roundtrip from Zephyrhills to the Trinity hospital recently, I can say without hesitation:Winning converts is going to take time. And, that’s a generous review. The trip, which, even following the bus’ roundabout circuit, could have been accomplished by car in about two hours, took more than twice as long. Possibly because of this snail’s pace, there were long stretches where I was the only passenger aboard.At its most crowded — after a late-afternoon stop at the Wiregrass campus of Pasco-Hernando State College — I shared my ride with five others. Not that you can’t meet pleasant company along the way, among them Jonathan Funnel (pronounced “foo-NELL,” accent on the second syllable), 25, who routinely rides from the Zephyrhills City Hall stop to The Groves for his job at the Cobb cineplex. Funnel, who reports he loves all movies, everything having to do with baseball, plus the NFL’s Packers and Eagles, likes that the bus drops him near the Grove’s Dick’s Sporting Goods store.“It’s heaven,” he says. Among the notes jotted by Funnel’s trav-

eling companion:“We rode together about 25 minutes.A car couldn’t have done much better.” Our driver, Jose Rojas, 62, a retired postal worker from Land O’ Lakes who piloted heavy machinery as a Marine, observes pleasantly, “Today’s been rainy. There’s no traffic. I love it.” About then the radio squawks. The bus out of Zephyrhills goes only as far as The Shops at Wiregrass. There, in the parking garage, westbound passengers switch. But, the connector, bound from Trinity, is caught in a snarl triggered by a crash near Collier Parkway. “Uh-oh,” Rojas murmurs.When we arrive at the mall terminus, the driver apologizes for the delay with a what-are-you-gonna-do shrug, adding “He’ll be along in a while.” He’s seven minutes early, so he gets out and stretches, groaning pleasantly. No passengers board before Rojas makes his on-time departure, half-a-million-dollars of empty bus. “A while” turns out to be most of a half hour, which allows time to strike up a conversation with Odette Rennie, 69, a Virgin Islander who settled in a Land O’ Lakes village along State Road 54 sometime after a nearly catastrophic accident in Los Angeles broke her right arm in three places and convinced her to swear off personal transportation almost completely. She’ll ride if her husband or son are driving. Otherwise, she takes the bus, even

though she concedes — as do many fans of public transportation — managing the last half-mile home presents challenges of its own. Some days it’s brutally hot.Today, near the Ferman new car dealership, she exits into a downpour, lamenting she’d left her big umbrella at home. Worse, because the bus is designed to drop passengers onto raised platforms, Rennie makes a big step onto an unpaved shoulder, punctuating the maneuver, “Ow, wow!” After that, riders come and go singly. One seems to have just finished a shift at Big Lots; he falls asleep immediately.Another, at the Suncoast Parkway, has come from a bike ride. He loads his two-wheeler on the front, drops coins in the slot, slumps into a seat and, buds in ears, studies his smartphone. Farther up, a boarding passenger complains that the bus is late. She doesn’t want to hear about the accident. Nobody does. If the buses are adequate, and this one is more than that, nothing kills ridership quite like blown schedules. On the day they snipped the ribbon, Commissioner Kathryn Starkey conceded as much. “We’ll never get people out of their cars as long as buses can get stuck in traffic. We need real bus rapid transit” — that is, buses traveling in lanes reserved only for buses. Still, if you’re not in a rush, there’s something to be said for riding, especially if you take one of the scenic seats a couple of steps up in the back. Not driving means you can fixate on industrious egrets following a tractor-drawn mower hacking through a pasture. Not driving and sitting up high means you finally see over the reeds to the little lagoon with a small dock framed in lattice west of Keystone Community Church. Being alone, being chauffeured, means your thoughts can wander. I’m thinking, from time to time, riding the bus just might be therapeutic.And, at $3 a roundtrip, it will be cheaper than any shrink. This is the buzz in my head at the end of my four-hour odyssey. It could have been worse. And my mind is oddly at ease. If I’m ever not in a hurry again, I could do this. Tom Jackson, a resident of New Tampa, is interested in your ideas. To reach him, email tjackson@lakerlutznews.com.

Pasco testing idea of cat license fees By Kathy Steele ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

A catfight nearly broke out as Pasco County commissioners couldn’t quite agree on whether to mandate $5 license fees for man’s best feline friend. The fees are among a package of changes proposed for the county’s Animal Services, which is searching for ways to boost its budgetary bottom line. In a compromise, county commissioners agreed to approve the entire package included in an amended ordinance, with one exception. The mandatory cat fees and licenses will be charged as part of a one-year pilot program, with quarterly updates on the number of licenses sold. Cat licenses currently are made available on a voluntary basis. Animal Services’ officials are working out details on how to get the word out to residents and veterinarians. The goal with the mandate is to collect about $60,000 for an Animal Services Sterilization Fund to support the county’s low-cost spaying and neutering program. “I’m willing to give you a year but I’m expecting you to exceed the numbers,” said Pasco County Commissioner Mike Wells. “I’m not sold on it. I hope you can prove me wrong in 12 months,”Wells said. Pasco County Commissioner Jack Mariano said the fees could have unintended consequences, if cat owners balk at the costs. “What are they going to do? Let the cats go,” he said.“It’ll get worse and worse.” Pasco County Commissioner Ted Schrader said he thought the fees had been scratched from Animal Services’ proposal, when it was presented at a budget workshop. County officials said they were trying to be creative in coping with an approaching depletion of funds for spaying and neutering. At the workshop, they projected the coffers will be empty within three years unless a funding source is found. Currently, revenues from dog licenses are the only resource, essentially subsidizing the expense of spaying and neutering cats, said Michael Shumate, the county’s Animal Services director. “That revenue source is drying up,” he said. Pasco is one of three counties in the state that doesn’t require cat licenses, and collect fees, said Cathy Pearson, the county’s assistant county administrator for

Proudly Welcoming Nay Hoche, MD

public services. However, one exception to the fees raised questions with some commissioners. No fees will be charged when feral cats are trapped and released after being sterilized. And, they won’t have to wear collars displaying their tags. Veterinarians identify those cats by clipping a notch in one of their ears. The trap and release process is a sometimes controversial method of trying to reduce kitten populations among feral cat colonies. County Administrator Michele Baker is a cat owner and lives in a neighborhood with a number of feral cats. “They are producing kittens. They are walking on my car,” she said.“I would gladly buy a $5 tag if that would allow Pasco County to neuter and spay some of the cat colony in my neighborhood.” Cat licenses aren’t the only change for pet owners and veterinarians. The county will require that animals sold or adopted must by micro-chipped. Veterinarians and pet dealers must have license tags available for sale, report stolen tags and provide copies of rabies vaccination certificates. A new fee schedule also was approved. Costs for dog and cat adoptions are unchanged, at $70 and $40 respectively. But adopting a small breed dog and puppies under four months of age will cost $85. Kittens younger than four months will cost $50. However, animal services often have special discounted adoption events. Dog and cat owners also will be able to get three-year rabies tags.

Q. What happens to the money I pay you for pre-planned merchandise and services? Trinity Memorial Gardens (TMG) has chosen not to utilize insurance products to provide for pre-need sales financing. Since its inception, TMG has trusted, under the statutes of the State of Florida, all pre-need arrangements. Hence, we set aside 110% of our cost of any product sold, but not delivered. We also set aside 70% of the service revenues we receive. Those funds stay in the Trust Fund until such time as the pre-need contract is fulfilled by us. We have a Trust company that invests and manages the funds for us, and each month we submit a request for withdrawals based on deliveries, and cut a check for the proper trust amount for any new pre-need sales the month prior.

Most importantly, the State of Florida audits our trusting activities, on average, every other year. That audit is concentrated on the accuracy of our trusting per the guidelines set by the state. We are proud that our history of trust auditing has produced very small adjustments in the past eight years.

CYBER, from page 1A In addition to using lengthy, complex passwords, Sridharan recommends individuals stay away from “unfamiliar websites.” “If it’s not a site that you know, don’t click on it,” he said. “If you’re not careful about the website that you go to, you stand a serious risk of getting breached, or your information stolen.” The same theory applies to suspicious emails. “If you don’t know who it’s from, don’t touch it.” Sridharan noted ransomware — a type of malicious software designed to block access to a computer system until a sum of money is paid — is currently one of the most pervasive problems in cyber security. A 2016 report by Cisco Systems Inc. found that approximately 9,500 people pay ransoms to hackers each month. “This is very prevalent these days.The average target pays $300,” said Sridharan. “The most important thing you can do is have backups of your system at all times.” Perhaps a silver lining to the influx of cyber threats is in the job market. According to Sridharan, there’s a significant demand for cyber security professionals. He estimates there will be approximately 2.5 million jobs in cyber security over the next two years. “It’s a hot job market,” he said, “and it’s

TOURISM, from page 1A expressed surprise at the creation of a new position of tourism director. Ed Caum currently serves as the tourism manager. Under the new plan, Caum’s title would become program manager and he would report to the tourism director. Gehring said the change is a lateral move for Caum, and not a demotion. Caum agreed, saying he concurred with the decision for the new hire. “I don’t feel it’s a demotion,” he said, adding that he will continue to perform his current duties. Caum didn’t apply for the tourism director position.

not going to go away for a long time.” “There is no comprehensive cyber security solution on the horizon for the next ten years,” he added. The symposium also featured a presentation on human trafficking online. Pasco County Sheriff’s Corporal Alan Wilkett, who’s served more than 22 years as a public service official in Indiana, Ohio and Florida, said human trafficking transactions are becoming increasingly prevalent online. Human trafficking encompasses forced labor, involuntary servitude, and commercial sex. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), there are approximately 20.9 million victims of human trafficking. “Selling and auctions are all taking place online,” said Wilkett, a member of the Tampa Bay Regional Human Trafficking Task Force. The transactions, Wilkett said, are taking place in what’s commonly referred as the dark web, which is only accessible through specific software, called Tor (The Onion Router). “When you get on there, that’s where (traffickers) hold the online markets,” explained Wilkett. “It’s one of the most diabolical things I’ve ever seen.” According to Wilkett, the average price for a human being is going for about $90. “You go to India and you can buy three boys for less than the price of a cow,” he said.“Many of them are bought as child soldiers; some of them are smuggled into the United States and other countries.”

He said his next move may be retirement, in two to three years. Wells praised Caum’s efforts in developing and expanding the scope of the tourism council over the years. Wells isn’t convinced about the county’s need for a tourism director at this time. “I think we’re putting the cart before the horse,”Wells said. “I’d like to see us hold off on this until we have a new county administrator. It doesn’t make sense to me,”Wells said. Pasco County Administrator Michele Baker is scheduled to vacate her post in July 2017.

Sheridan shares his expertise with the ULI’s statewide Urban Development and Mixed Use Council. In 2014, Governor Rick Scott appointed him to the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council for Hillsborough County. Sheridan has a bachelor of science degree in urban and regional planning from Cook College at Rutgers University. He worked for more than five years at Heidt Design as a landscape architect.

Record 3-point shooter adds new challenges By Kevin Weiss

kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

Justin Dargahi, a record-holding threepoint shooter, has added a few new challenges for 2016 and beyond. First:Turn around the struggling Gaither High girls varsity basketball program. Next: Set the world record for most three pointers made by a pair, in one minute. Dargahi — the Guinness World Record for the most 3s made from NBA range (23 feet, 9 inches) in one minute (26) — first hopes to bring some cache to the Gaither High’s girls basketball program. It won’t be easy for the former Land O’ Lakes High girls head JV (junior varsity) coach. The Cowboys—which went a combined 5-38 the last two seasons—have had six straight losing seasons. Yet, that doesn’t deter Dargahi, who will be the program’s fourth head coach in six years, once tryouts begin Oct. 24. “I’m definitely looking forward to the challenge,” he said. “I love proving people wrong.” He relishes it. “You have room to improve. If you take over a great team, what are you trying to accomplish?” he said. “Hopefully, we can increase our win total a lot just this coming year alone.” It will be tough, he acknowledged, considering Gaither High plays in a highly competitive eight-team district (Class 8A, District 8). It’s one stacked with perennial prep powerhouses in Wiregrass Ranch, Plant, Freedom and Steinbrenner high schools. “It’s hard to win and advance anywhere

Justin Dargahi broke the Guinness World Record for most 3-pointers made in one minute (26) on Jan. 4. He is now teaming up with ex-Florida Gators star Teddy Dupay, at right, to try and break the world record for most three pointers made by a pair, in one minute (19). They hope to break the record by Thanksgiving (Nov. 24).

when you have four or five great teams out of eight,” said Dargahi. “Luckily, we have a good three weeks of practice before the first game (Nov. 15). His blueprint starts with building around junior Janae Lyle, the team’s top returning player (7.6 points per game, 4.9 rebounds per game, 1.9 steals per game). “It is a lot of specifying toward your players’ talents,” said Dargahi, a former basketball player at Cambridge Christian School.“I refuse to go into the first game not having specified positions.” It also includes implementing a pressure man-to-man defense to help close out onepossession games. “I love pressing,” he said.“I love getting steals, turnovers. That’s how you score

points,” he said. “I think the best (coaching) aspect is game management,” he added. When not on the sidelines, meanwhile, Dargahi will be spending ample time at the three-point line.The new Gaither coach is teaming up with Teddy Dupay — a former Florida Gators basketball standout (19982001) and current boys basketball coach at Cambridge Christian School — to break the Guinness World Record for most threepointers made by a pair in one minute. The current record is 19, set by Harlem Globetrotters’ Cheese Chisholm and Ant Atkinson.The previous record (15) was set by NBA all-stars Kevin Durant (Golden State Warriors) and Dirk Nowitzki (Dallas Mavericks).

Though Dargahi hasn’t set an official attempt date, he figures it will “definitely be before Thanksgiving (Nov. 24).” Dargahi, who claims he makes anywhere from 75 percent to 80 percent of attempted 3-pointers, said the feat largely boils down to each participant making 10 shots. It’s possible, he said, considering both his and Dupay’s shooting prowess. (Dupay ranks 10th all-time in Florida Gators history for career 3-point field goals made with 188.) “We’re both very confident with our shooting,” Dargahi said.“The good thing about this record — both shooters have to be awesome.You can’t have one guy carry it.” But the difficulty, he said, lies in get enough shots up in 60 seconds. “I don’t even know how many shots we can get up, to be honest. I’m guessing 25 to 30, at the most,” said Dargahi. The strategy, he added, will include court positioning — the wings or the top-of-thekey — and conserving energy across multiple attempts. “I think we’ll at least try it for an hour, or an hour-and-a half,” Dargahi said. Perhaps one aspect working in the duo’s favor: home court advantage. “I’ve shot more balls at Cambridge than any other gym,” he said.“There’s a little bit of a comfort zone.” Additionally, Dargahi has been approved by Guinness to attempt world records for most individual free throws in one minute (51) and most individual three-pointers in two minutes (44). “The free throw one is tough,” Dargahi said.“I just tried it once just to see, and I didn’t even get up 51 shots. I definitely have to speed it up to shoot. If I could get up just 55 (shots), I like my chances.”

hey weren’t bringing in rattlesnakes that they’d found out in fields or carting in live gopher tortoises to race — but they were having old-fashioned fun at the San Antonio Rattlesnake Festival & Run. Kids scaled up rock walls, people had close encounters with alligators and bands played continuously. The festival, held in San Antonio’s City Park, celebrated its 50th anniversary with a two-day event, on Oct. 15 and Oct. 16. It was a hit. It’s hard to get actual numbers, since there’s no admission charge, but Betty Burke, chairwoman of the organizing committee, estimated attendance at between 7,000 and 8,000 people. “My goodness, it was fantastic,” said Burke, a member of the Rotary Club of San Antonio, which put on the event.

There were lots of kids, she said. And, “there were dogs everywhere.” People seemed to be enjoying themselves, said Burke, noting she was “very happy” with the way things turned out. “Croc Encounters — that was real popular,” the chairwoman said. “Everybody loved the music,” she added. Besides listening to bands, festivalgoers could get a bite to eat, pose for a picture in the pumpkin patch, or do a bit of shopping. There were barrel train rides, a bounce house, a rattlesnake run, and wooden gopher tortoise races — a perennial hit at the event. The festival is the primary fundraiser for the Rotary Club of San Antonio. Proceeds support local scholarships, community projects and international Rotary projects, such as Polio Plus.The event is partially funded by Visit Pasco Tourism and Visit Florida.Area businesses, community members and sponsors, including The Laker/Lutz News, also support the event.

The gopher tortoise races — which use wooden mechanical tortoises, instead of live ones — is always a big hit at the San Antonio Rattlesnake Festival & Run.

Runners take off for the one-mile run.

Meet Miss Ellie. She has been with the shelter since January. Ellie was adopted by a very nice family for a short time, but unfortunately was returned because they were afraid the family dog was going to hurt her. Her adopters have said that Ellie is good being left alone, gets along with other dogs, walks well on a leash, loves car rides, and seems to get along well with kids. Come and meet this sweet girl. Her adoption fee is only $15 this month.

If you would like to adopt either Briarpatch or Ellie, 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.

Chloe loves the outdoors

Chloe enjoys a little sunshine near the pool, all the while keeping a sharp eye out for squirrels, which she will bark at, until they move on. Chloe loves the outdoors, especially bicycle rides in her basket, with her grandpa. They are quite a sight to behold. Grandpa is her ‘best buddy’ for sure. Chloe is much loved by all and is the ‘Grand-doggy’ of Siegfried and Linda Barry of Land O’ Lakes.

A birthday surprise

Nancy Griffis snapped this photo of a hawk that appeared at the Lake Padgett East Clubhouse, in Land O’ Lakes, as her twins were celebrating their 10th birthday party. The hawk first landed in a tree, and then flew down to the ground where the kids gathered to get a good look and to try to figure out what it was getting from the grass. It added a nice touch to the party.

If yyou’re looking g for centrally-located y office space p e in Pasco County, there’s no place more central than Land O’ Lakes.

- Fast aaccess to Suncoaast Expresswayy,, I-75 annd Norrtth Dale Mabr y Highway

And in Land O’ Lakes, there’s only one new commercial building underway for businesses and retailers looking for a new home — Black Lake Professional Office Park on U.S. 41, conveniently located next door to the Land O’ Lakes Post Office. Construction is underway on a new 7,800 square foot building that will soon be home to five businesses. Office space is being configured in 1,500 and 1,800 square foot units, and because the building is strategically zoned C-2, it’s appropriate for retail storefronts or professional offices. Next door is the original Black Lake office building, which is home to several long-established Land O’ Lakes businesses, including Chiropractor Michael Craven, Dentist Brian Bernier and Financial Planner Chris Cooper Cooper. The new building’s architectural design will match the upscale Mediterranean style of the original building, with its distinctive look and attractive terra cotta stucco exterior. Both buildings face U.S. 41 and the scenic Land O’ Lakes Recreational Center, with its park setting, open ball fields and community stage. “One of the biggest reasons business are planning to move into Black Lake is because of its excellent highway visibility, with over 45,000 vehicles a day on U.S. 41,” said Realtor Cody Adams. “This drive-by traffic, and its location in the heart of Land O’ Lakes, makes this office building ideal for a variety of businesses.”

- Next door to the Land O’ Lakees Post Office and close tto many surrounding residential communities and businesses Wa W arehouse Buillding Soon to be under construction, and immediately o buildings, is a warehouse buildbehind the two office ing with 20,000 square feet. This space will be divided into seven, 2,,800 square feet units that include 400 square feet of office area. “The warehouse areho se space is very er unique niq e and something we’re getting lots of calls on,” said Adams. “It’s ideal for businesses needing large open areas that want access to a major road, but do not need highway frontage.” Adams is looking at occupancy beginning in early 2017.

- Acrosss the street from the Lannd O’ Lakes Recreaational Center, which iis packed ever y day witth family sporrtting activitiees. - Quiett, professional settingg with mature landscaping and ample parkingg

“There is a huge pent-up demand for new office and warehouse space in central Pasco,” said Adams. “Black Lake is much anticipated, and much desired, by the local business community. This will be an excellent property to own or lease for years to come.”
