Area responds to Dorian victims

By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

As the death toll grows and residents of the Bahamas continue to grapple with the devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian — local groups are stepping up to find ways to help those who are suffering. Dorian made landfall on Sept. 1 as a Category 5 Hurricane, flattening homes and

causing massive flooding, according to national news reports. The official death toll stood at 50, with an estimated 2,500 still missing, according to national news reports. Officials expect the death count to rise, as search-and-rescue crews dig through the ruins of Grand Bahama and Abaco islands. While recovery work continues, groups are rallying to do what they can here.

At Land O’ Lakes High School, Chef Jessica Cooper — who teaches in the school’s Academy of Culinary Arts — put out the word that she was collecting supplies that would be delivered by her husband, LeRone, who grew up in Freeport, the main city on Grand Bahama. Some of the supplies will be provided to See DORIAN, page 11A

Rev up the motorcycles and crank up the music Mainstreet Zephyrhills attracted a crowd to the 15th annual Music & Motorcycles in downtown Zephyrhills on Sept. 14. People who like riding motorcycles, and those who simply admire them were joined by people who enjoy live music. Above, a group of motorcycles cruise down Fifth Avenue in downtown Zephyrhills. Only motorcycles were allowed to use this stretch of road during the event. For more on this story, see Page 1B.

Pasco administrator to retire in

By Kathy Steele

ksteele@lakerlutznews.com

Pasco County Administrator Michele Baker expects to be very busy over the next year and a half. She’ll be crossing off a to-do list, one by one, before leaving in 2017 to go on a lengthy road trip with her husband. The couple will hit the road with their recreational vehicle and their motorcycles, on a tour of as many baseball parks and national parks as they can squeeze into a year. “That’s been our dream,” Baker said, so letting her contract lapse in July 2017 makes sense. But, don’t expect a lame duck administrator. “There’s no kicking back here,” Baker said.“This isn’t me slowing down. ” Baker has told Pasco County commissioners she won’t seek renewal of her current two-year contract, which makes her

Dade City Commissioners adopted the city’s tentative budget for next fiscal year, but not without some disagreement. A first reading ordinance of the $19,296,935 budget passed by a 4-1 vote, with Commissioner Nicole Deese Newlon casting the lone dissenting vote during a Sept. 10 meeting. The 2019-2020 budget is based on an approved 7.14 millage rate. Newlon took umbrage with multiple funding issues, including the city using $150,000 in reserves to float its operating budget. “Effectively, to me, it’s like taking money out of my savings account to float my monthly expenses at my house,” she said,“so that to me means we are overextended.” Newlon added it’s even more concerning with the city having “very large expenses” upcoming through its five-year Capital Improvements Program plan and proposed projects like a downtown splash

park/bike hub, Morningside Drive extension and so on. “We’re spending too much. That’s my opinion,” she said. Newlon also took issue with certain aspects of funding for the city’s community and economic development department. She disagreed with a $106,000 total salary benefits package for an economic development/CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) director position and creating a second city planner position. Newlon argued the economic development/CRA director position “is effectively $7,000 to $9,000 more than the last person that was doing that job was making.” Dade City Senior Planner Melanie Romagnoli is expected to take over the expanded CRA role, which has been vacant since Mike Sherman left the city in July. Romagnoli previously spent nearly a decade as a program administrator for the Pasco County Office of Economic Growth. Said Newlon:“I don’t think that person See BUDGET, page 11A

Plans are underway to build an interchange connecting Overpass Road to Interstate 75 in Wesley Chapel, and the project is expected to have a flyover ramp. The ramp would grant access from westbound Overpass Road to southbound Interstate 75. The Overpass Road bridge runs eastwest above the interstate, which runs north-south. Richard Moss is the director of transportation development for the Florida Department of Transportation District 7, who is overseeing the project. He was present at the Pasco County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) board meeting to explain the development before board members, on Aug. 8. “That flyover would process a lot more traffic going southbound (on Interstate 75), See INTERCHANGE, page 11A

The Pasco County Commission has approved a revision to the Ridge Road Extension project – to provide additional funding and services connected to the project. The board approved a change order on Aug. 6 to pay for post-design assistance from the project engineer, and to analyze possible impacts to gopher tortoises. The county also is allocating an additional $1.4 million toward the first phase of construction, which extends Ridge Road from Moon Lake Road in New Port Richey east to Suncoast Parkway. Phase one also includes modifications to the Parkway Interchange. The second phase of the project extends Ridge Road from the Suncoast Parkway to U.S. 41 in Land O’ Lakes. That has not yet been funded for design or construction. The revision approved in the change order requires that during the post-design phase, the engineer oversees any issues that arise with the construction plans or its documentation, while keeping the county informed of these matters. The engineer also will be responsible for the project’s computer-aided design and drafting files.This software is vital to the construction phase and may be subject to changes, per county request. The engineer also must address any changed conditions to construction in a “timely manner” and review changes proposed by the contractor, according to the county. The change order also includes the surveying, permitting and possible relocation of gopher tortoises. “The tortoises that are identified to be within the construction area, including those within the (Starkey Wilderness) Preserve, will

be relocated based on guidance from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission,” said Sam Beneck, Pasco County project manager.“The tortoises must be relocated to an approved relocation site.” These animals are protected by law and this process is usually included in the construction contract. But, in an effort to accelerate the timetable for completing the extension, the process will be handled by the project’s design and permitting team. However, the tortoises cannot be relocated until a permit has been obtained from the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers. Construction cannot commence, either, without clearance from the Army Corps. “The funding has not been the holdup for the project,” Beneck explained. “It’s really been the permitting issues.” Pasco County and the Army Corps have been trying to reach an agreement for years. Various options have been considered and the one that has been selected calls for partially elevating the Ridge Road Extension, as well as adding 16 bridges, curbs, guardrails and fencing to protect wildlife. Beneck estimated that these measures will reduce impacts by nearly 83 percent to the wetlands in the Serenova Tract of Starkey Wilderness Preserve. Environmentalists have battled the road extension, citing the negative impacts it will have on the Serenova Tract. The current design shows a two-lane road opening from Moon Lake Road to the Suncoast Parkway before the 2021 hurricane season. The road would be expanded to four lanes the following year, and possibly to six lanes in the future, Beneck said. When the Army Corps issues its permit for the project, it will be for both phases of the extension, Beneck said.

The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index fell 1.6 points to 103.1, remaining within the top 15 percent of readings, according to a news release. Job creation accelerated, positive earnings trends improved, and quarter-on-quarter sales gains remained strong, the report said. However, optimism slipped because fewer owners said they expect better business conditions and real sales volumes in the coming months, according to the report. “In spite of the success we continue to see on Main Street, the manic predictions

of recession are having a psychological effect and creating uncertainty for small business owners throughout the country,” NFIB President and CEO Juanita D. Duggan, said in the release.“Small business owners continue to invest, grow and hire at historically high levels, and we see no indication of a coming recession.” For the full report, go to NFIB.com.

ADVENTHEALTH ZEPHYRHILLS RECOGNIZED

AdventHealth Zephyrhills has been recognized as a High Performing Hospital for 2019-2020 by U.S. News & World Report. The hospital earned high-performance ratings for heart failure and COPD, in recognition of care that was significantly better than the national average, as measured by factors such as patient outcomes. U.S. News evaluated more than 4,500 medical centers nationwide in nine procedures and conditions. The annual Procedures & Conditions ratings are designed to assist patients and their doctors in making informed decisions about where to receive care for common conditions, and elective procedures. “This recognition is a testament to the commitment of our dedicated care teams and leaders to provide our patients with the highest quality of care,” said Amanda Maggard, president and CEO of AdventHealth Zephyrhills, in a release. “We are honored to provide these services to make it easy for our community to get the best care every time they need us,” she added.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR NAMED

Proulx will provide leadership and support to the management of all programs and activities.

These measures will be taken to help eradicate mental health stigma and propagate improved services and research for those affected by mental health conditions. Proulx brings with her expertise in fundraising and marketing, and has spent 20 years in the nonprofit sector as both a professional and a volunteer.

QUICKER ER CARE

When an emergency happens, AdventHealth hospitals offer a way to get care fast. Through the website, GetInQuickER.com, a treatment time can be reserved. Users complete a brief, secure form, and get a confirmation with directions and details in return.

Vanpooling service could be new option for Pasco’s workforce By Brian Fernandes bfernandes@lakerlutznews.com

Some private sector workers soon will have a new way to commute to their jobs throughout the Tampa Bay region – including Pasco County. The Enterprise car company is collaborating with the Tampa Bay Area Regional Transit Authority to offer vanpooling services to companies and their employees. Arlinda Karuli, Enterprise account executive, gave a presentation on the new service at the Smart Business Series on Sept. 10, at the Overnight Success Studios in Lutz. “We want to be able to work with employers to be able to introduce this program to them,” Karuli explained. “We want to [give] employees another option to get to and from work.” Tampa Bay’s continued growth has ramped up traffic — increasing the hassle of getting to work, Karuli said. “Single-occupancy vehicles are really affecting traffic,” she said. But, vanpooling is an option that can get workers to their jobs in a timely manner, she added. Enterprise already has implemented this in some states, including California, and now is offering it to government employees within Tampa Bay. After seeing its benefits, the Bay Area’s Transit Authority and Enterprise, are ready to open this service to private sector companies as well. By riding to work in a van, passengers can take a nap, read a book, or take advantage of the commute time in different ways, Karuli noted. “Then, they’re coming to work less stressed, and they’re ready to work,” she said. Another advantage of vanpooling is that it broadens the pool of potential job candidates because they don’t need to have their own means of transportation, she added. Other pluses: It allows employees to reduce the “wear and tear” and gasoline consumption of their personal vehicles, and it offers more available parking spaces for employers, she said. Also, this service isn’t just limited to vans, she noted. There are more than 90 makes and models available to choose from. Enterprise initially introduces the program to a company’s human resources department, and asks for the company to identify where employees live by zip code. It can then create a cluster map to see which people could benefit from the pro-

gram, Karuli explained. The map tracks at least four coworkers who live within a 3-mile radius of each other, who could potentially benefit from the service. The vehicles then are rented out on a month-by-month basis, being prepaid before the month begins. The employer can then allow one worker to hold on to the vehicle and pick up fellow coworkers at a central meeting place. If rented by the company, payments are deducted out of those vanpoolers’ pay, but are not taxable. Enterprise determines the prepaid cost by gauging the potential mileage, fuel and toll payments added up within that month. However, the Transit Authority grants a $400 subsidy toward the costs, ultimately reducing the cost for commuters. The transit agency also offers an Emergency Ride Home Program. In the instance that a rider who vanpooled gets sick and needs to go home early, he or she uses a voucher in exchange for a cab ride home. Enterprise is looking into ways to implement the use of the voucher for the Emergency Ride Home Program for other driving services, such as Uber. Enterprise also gives insurance coverage at no cost to the employer or employee. Enterprise offers full-service maintenance, 24-hour roadside service, bumper-to-bumper collision with no deductible, and covers damages caused to another driver’s vehicle. And, it replaces the vanpool vehicle in the event it is not suitable to drive. Enterprise also can grant an additional 200 miles per month toward personal use, such as grocery shopping. “We recently met with our economic development team in Pasco County and we were able to identify some manufacturing companies that can benefit from it,” Karuli mentioned. Coworkers also can collectively rent out a vehicle without their company’s involvement. And, families can vanpool, too. Another benefit is a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, when people share a vehicle, rather than driving individually, she noted. While timing of the program’s unveiling to the public has yet to be determined, several companies have already expressed interest, Karuli said.

DORIAN, from page 1A LeRone’s family members who still live there, and the rest will be distributed in an open forum he will be having at an office building, Cooper said. She let people know that she would be collecting supplies at the school from Sept. 9 to Sept. 11 and, by the second day, so many items had been donated, she had to rent a mini-van so she could transport the contributions to her South Tampa home. The family also rented a Penske truck, so her husband could make the trip to South Florida, to load the supplies on a ship, which he would take along with the supplies to Freeport, and he lined up two trucks to help him transport the goods once he got there. People who live in the Bahamas are no strangers to hurricanes, but the massive storms usually blow through the area in a matter of hours, Cooper said.This time, the hurricane stayed for 24 hours — something that’s never happened before. Initially, family members went to Cooper’s sister-in-law’s house because she lived in the middle of the island, which had not flooded before. But that area flooded, so the family retreated to her niece’s apartment building. “My sister-in-law lost her home,” Cooper said, and her brother-in-law’s home was damaged. As of last week, there was still no water or power, and none of their family members had been able to return to work. Cooper said the outpouring of help for her family and other Bahamians, has been humbling. “To be completely honest, I am so overwhelmed with the generosity of everyone,”

BUDGET, from page 1A should make more for doing what I think is less work because they now have another person working under them, and the other position that was under them is being transitioned into a much bigger position.” Newlon also questioned $60,000 for advertising, special projects promotional activities, and $75,000 to rehabilitate the old police department building on Pasco Avenue. Other commissioners, however, stressed the need for boosting the city’s economic development efforts for next fiscal year by any necessary means — and capitalizing on surrounding residential and commercial growth. Commissioner Scott Black put it like this: “The economy as it is now, while it is booming, we need to have our staff in place so that we can allow some development to happen. If they’re being hamstrung because there’s not enough hours in the day and not enough hands available, then we’re not going to be well served.” Black also said of the budget:“It’s not an enviable position to be in, but we have to be positioning ourselves to do these things.” Commissioner Jim Shive agreed:“In order to move this city forward, we’ve got to grow and get some things on the table.” Mayor Camille Hernandez added she’s

INTERCHANGE, from page 1A so it’s a much better design,” Moss said. This in turn, would help alleviate congestion on main corridors, such as State Road 52 to the north and State Road 54 to the south, the director added. Construction along Overpass Road would run from its intersections with Old Pasco Road and Boyette Road – a distance of roughly 1 mile. Overpass Road bridge will need to be remodeled to accommodate the interchange. “There’s an existing bridge out there,” Moss said. “We’re going to demolish that and it will be a full new interchange.” Additional lanes are being added to Overpass Road, too. The stretch from Old Pasco Road to I-75 will be expanded to four lanes; I-75 to Boyette Road, will be six lanes. And, Blair Drive and McKendree Road, which both run off of Overpass Road, will undergo realignments. Blair Drive will be disconnected from Overpass Road and will extend southwest to intersect with Old Pasco Road. McKendree Road also will disconnect

Cooper said, on Sept. 10.“The faculty here, the students who are helping, then the parents who started posting on social media to their communities.” She appreciates help from other sources, too:“My godmother came over the night before last. I had another cousin come over last night. To organize and pack. “I didn’t expect any of this, to be this big. But, I am so grateful for it,” Cooper said, noting some people still want to help, and her husband is planning a second trip in October. The supply drive at Land O’ Lakes High is just one of several efforts happening across The Laker/Lutz News coverage area. At Sunlake High School, in Land O’ Lakes, the Junior States of America Club collected donations through Sept. 13. And, Wiregrass Ranch High School, in Wesley Chapel, collected donations through Sept. 12. Saint Leo University, in St. Leo, has nearly 150 Bahamian students, with 64 members in

“expecting big things” from an enlarged economic development/CRA team. Said Hernandez:“We see the houses starting to build, we see businesses start to come and we’re not going to be able to continue that unless we have the expertise and the knowledge of that kind of input into our city.” One reason for the city’s tight budget constraints this year: commissioners in July voted to set the tentative millage rate at 7.14 rather than a rolled rollback rate of 7.3297 recommended by city staffers. Commissioners opted not to go with the higher property tax rate, asserting residents have already seen increases in water and sewer rates, and a stormwater fee assessment. At 7.14 mills, ad valorem tax revenues in the city’s general fund decrease by $40,850 for the 2019-2020 fiscal year, according to Dade City Manager Leslie Porter. The rollback rate would have resulted in a $50,000 swing and thus increased ad valorem revenues in the general fund by about $10,000. The mayor noted it’s been one of the more challenging budget years she can remember. “It has been extremely tough,” Hernandez said.“I think in all the years I’ve been here this is probably one of the hardest that I have ever seen and trying to respect our community and keep the millage the same.”

from Overpass Road. It will turn eastward, running parallel to Overpass Road before moving up northward and temporarily connecting with Boyette Road. Future plans call for Boyette Road to extend north, where it will eventually intersect at another end of McKendree Road. Pasco County and FDOT are operating under two agreements to acquire the necessary land for the project. Right of way is being acquired for properties on both sides of Overpass Road, west of I-75. It also is being acquired along the west side of I-75, just south of Overpass Road. A contractor will be selected for the project by Spring 2020, at which point the state transportation department will enter into a design-build contract. “We anticipate that, being roughly about 800 days to construct,” Moss said.“You’re looking at probably about three years out and that interchange will be open.” He also noted that there may be a sixmonth to eight-month gap between hiring the contractor and beginning construction. The project will cost approximately $70 million and is expected to be completed by 2023.

Jessica Cooper, who teaches in the Culinary Arts Academy at Land O’ Lakes High School, has been coordinating a supply drive to support victims of Hurricane Dorian. Her husband, LeRone, who grew up there, planned to deliver the supplies to family members and others suffering in the aftermath of the Category 5 hurricane.

the class of 2023, according to a news release. The college had a candlelight vigil on Sept. 5 and a prayer service at Saint Leo Abbey, prior to the student Mass. Some Saint Leo students have lost family members.And, some students’ families have lost businesses, employment, homes, cars and all of their personal possessions. The college is providing individual counseling and check-ins with their Bahamian students, the release says. The university also has placed donation bins around campus to collect supplies to transport to the Bahamas. Items they are collecting include: nonperishable food items, snacks, flashlights, batteries, diapers, baby wipes, water containers, disposable razors, lotion, work gloves, garbage bags, soap, deodorant and portable chargers. The donations bins will remain on campus until further notice. Also, Lake Myrtle Elementary, in Land O’ Lakes, and Bishop McLaughlin Catholic High School, in Spring

Hill, are hosting partnership drives, so the university’s donations will be able to help more people and pets in the Bahamas, according to Jen Shaw, vice president of student affairs for the university. The Diocese of St. Petersburg also is raising money to help people affected by Hurricane Dorian. Hillsborough County Public Schools and the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office partnered in their efforts to collect hurricane relief supplies. Meanwhile, at Goodwill IndustriesSuncoast stores, shoppers are being invited to round up their purchases to help raise money for Hurricane Dorian relief.The organization planned to launch the campaign on Sept. 5 and run it through Sept. 19, with the goal of raising $25,000 to help people in the Bahamas. The organization decided to collect cash, rather than items, because of the difficulty in getting donated items to people in need, according to a news release. Others involved in Hurricane Dorian Relief efforts include The Rotary Club of Wesley Chapel, in conjunction with Rotary District 6950 and AdventHealth Center Ice. All of the supplies will be trucked to Miami on Sept. 30, then shipped to the Bahamas and distributed throughout the Island by Bahamian Rotarians, according to the Rotary Club of Wesley Chapel’s website. AdventHealth Center Ice, 3173 Cypress Ridge Blvd., in Wesley Chapel, will be accepting donations from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., during the drive. Donations also may be dropped off at the Make A Difference office, 12311 U.S. 41, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and at The Greater Zephyrhills Chamber of Commerce, 38550 Fifth Ave., in downtown Zephyrhills.

Dade City sets workshop on medical marijuana dispensaries By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutzlutznews.com

The Dade City City Commission again will consider whether or not to allow medical marijuana treatment centers within city limits. This city’s six-month moratorium, or temporary ban, on such dispensaries expires Sept. 21. Commissioners will have a workshop on the matter Sept. 24 at 4 p.m., at City Hall, 38020 Meridian Ave., in Dade City. In March, city leaders voted to extend its moratorium relating to the operation of cannabis dispensing organizations and the issuance of business tax licenses for such facilities. It marked the fourth time commissioners passed a six-month extension of the moratorium.The original moratorium was enacted in 2016, to continue to study the potential impacts of such facilities on the municipality. According to Florida Statutes, medical marijuana dispensaries and treatment centers are permitted in zoning districts where pharmacies are also allowed. City leaders previously have expressed an interest to allow dispensaries, so long as they’re limited to commercial highways or

the outskirts of town. The commission earlier in the year directed city staff to draft an ordinance that would have allowed for medical marijuana in all zoning districts where the city allows pharmacies, except in the CRA downtown corridor and within 500 feet from any school. However, the city’s planning board recommended denial of the drafted ordinance, with concerns about language ultimately limiting pharmacies or drugstores in the downtown area, in making them legal nonconforming use. The planning board then recommended the commission to extend the moratorium, with a time frame to be determined by the commission. Dade City Mayor Camille Hernandez emphasized the city needs to find a long-term solution to the matter, one way or another. “We can’t drag feet; we’ve got to do something,” she said. Regarding medical marijuana facilities, City attorney Thomas Thanas said other Florida municipalities “are trying to get out in front of this with an ordinance one way or the other. “Quite a few communities have passed ordinances that ban dispensaries and quite a few have done just the opposite where they’ve allowed them,” he said.

Volleyball team seeks to avenge state title defeat By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

he Bishop McLaughlin Catholic High School Hurricanes volleyball team lost just one game last season — but, that loss came in the FHSAA Class 3A state cham-

pionship. The Hurricanes had won 30 consecutive games through the regular and postseason before losing to Doral’s Divine Savior Academy Shark, in three straight-sets at Suncoast Credit Union Arena in Fort Myers. The scores were 25-16, 25-16 and 25-22. Much of the damage was done by Sharks then-junior Fabiana Castro, a Bryant University commit, who led all players with 24 kills. If the Hurricanes had won, it would’ve marked the school athletic program’s firstever team state crown. “You know, everybody has their excuses about what happened, but what actually happened was they were better than we are. That was the bottom line,” longtime Hurricanes volleyball head coach Doug Chinchar said. “They had one kid we could not stop and that was it,” he said. As devastating as the Nov. 17 loss was , the coach has used the experience as a learning tool for this season. He has challenged his team to become tougher mentally and physically, particularly when it comes to facing top-level teams in raucous environments — like the state title game. “The other team threw the first punch and we didn’t punch back. That was the heartbreaker. I want to punch back,” said Chinchar, now in his 11th year at the school. “If there’s one thing I worry about is how tough we are. How tough are we going to be when we go into some team’s gym and they’re all over all us,” he said. To attack that concern, Chinchar has pursued the most challenging regular season slate possible, to gear up his team for another deep postseason run. That includes road matches this season against Alachua Santa Fe, Clearwater Central Catholic, Carrollwood Day, Sarasota Riverview high schools and others. “We’re trying to schedule 25 losses. We want to play the best of the best,” the coach said. Veteran players believe the team has grown from last season’s defeat and is on a restored track this year. The Hurricanes presently sit at 9-1, as of Sept. 16. The team entered the new season more motivated and “wanting to work harder,” senior middle hitter Sarah Perciavalle said. “I think we have more heart from last

season, and more energy during our practices and games,” Perciavalle, of Lutz, said, “so I think we’re better in that sense.” Last season’s end was “really upsetting,” she said. “We were expected to win, going in undefeated, so it was definitely a hard loss,” she said. Junior outside hitter Audrey Koenig said the team has gained more confidence and has learned “definitely to not underestimate a team and not to let big crowds affect you.” The 6-foot-3 FSU commit and Wesley Chapel resident recalled it took her “at least a week” to get over that last year’s title game defeat. and trophy will be awarded to winner.

KEVIN WEISS

Bishop McLaughlin Hurricanes volleyball coaches Doug and Sara Chinchar lead the team through an early-season practice. Last season the Hurricanes went 30-1 and finished Class 3A state runner-up.

She recalls being very sad about the loss, noting “everybody was expecting us to win, so like all the hype and momentum built up to it and then it just kind of fell.” So it may seem like a tall task to top a nearly unblemished 30-1 campaign, but the Hurricanes insist they are even deeper this year. Nearly all of the players are returning from last year, including four seniors. They’ve also added a handful of talented freshman — paced by 6-foot-3 Maddie Snider and 6-foot-1 Ali Waldon, the daughter of former University of South Florida men’s basketball standout B.B.Waldon. Height and offensive firepower figure to be an advantage again this season, as the group boasts three 6-footers and four other players 5-foot-9 or taller. “We definitely have the intimidation fac-

tors,” said Koenig, who leads the team with 95 kills and 20 aces. Added Perciavalle:“I think we’re definitely more powerful at the net. All of our hitters have definitely gotten stronger, so I think we’re definitely better.” The team is also out for revenge this time around, in their quest for that elusive state crown. “It’s kind of like redemption,’ Perciavalle said.“Like, we were so close last year that now we’ve got to finish it up.” The Hurricanes coach imagines it can done, based on what he’s seen thus far. “It should be a fun little run here,” Chinchar said.“We have a chance to go the whole way, that’s the most exciting part. Everybody wants to beat us, and we want to beat them.” “We want the whole thing,” he said.

Cost is $24 for 5K, $19 for 1-mile run/walk and $17 for Kids Fun Run. The event is hosted by the Speed Starz Youth Track/Running Club and is in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To register, visit FightCancerRun.com.

An owl with many voices

Nicole Hoffman was lucky enough to snap a photo of a barred owl in Seven Oaks, in Wesley Chapel. These owls lack ear tufts, and have a long, barred tail. Mainly nocturnal, its daytime roost is always well-hidden in deep woods. The barred owl also is known as the ‘hoot owl.’ It uses 10 different calls, each for a specific purpose. These calls include wails, whines, squeals, and even an eerie laugh. Its habitat is dense coniferous or mixed woods around rivers and swamps, and in upland woods.
