City considers fee increases By Kevin Weiss kweiss@lakerlutznews.com
Less waiting where it matters most – our emergency room.
The City of Zephyrhills is updating its comprehensive list of fee schedules — and many come tagged with price increases. The proposed fee resolutions and amendments incorporate public record requests, venue rental policies, cemetery lots, and site plan reviews, among others. The fees were discussed during an hour-
long city council workshop meeting on Oct. 23. Perhaps the largest proposed change is to the city’s site plan review fees for new business development projects, such as restaurants, retailers and so on. Under Resolution No. 741-17, the Site Plan Review Fee will double to $1,000, up from $500 per 1,000 gross square feet. Todd Vande Berg, the city’s planning director, said the fees haven’t been adjusted in
several years and would still be in line with surrounding communities, such as Port Richey, New Port Richey and Plant City. He also noted the proposed fees are still considerably less than the $5,000 charged by the county for similar projects. City Manager Steve Spina added site plans reviews and development projects require the services and resources of nearly a See FEE, page 13A

Pasco County Commissioner Kathryn Starkey has been honored by a local chapter of the Organization of Women in International Trade as the International Person of the Year. Starkey received her award at the Annual Scholarship & International Person of the Year Awards Dinner, at the Tampa Yacht Club in Tampa, on Oct. 26, according to a news release from the Pasco Economic Development Council. The trade organization advocates for women in international business.The Tampa Bay Chapter, one of more than 30 chapters worldwide, was formed in 1997. The board of directors chose Starkey for her leadership in “the promotion of international business, trade and education within the Tampa Bay community,” the organization’s president, Christyna Doege, said in a written statement. Starkey traces her passion for international trade through her family’s history. “My mother was raised in the Philippines, where our family once traded in hemp and copra,” said Starkey during her acceptance speech.“My stepfather was an international armaments distributor, and my aunt was an importer of goods from the Philippines.” Starkey is co-founder of the AmSkills program, which operates in Pasco, Pinellas and Hernando counties. AmSkills is a Tampa Bay initiative that aids high school students, adults and veterans seeking manufacturing jobs. The export alliance is a cooperative partnership of Tampa See STARKEY, page 13A

It takes a lot of helpers to peel enough potatoes to feed about 350 people on Thanksgiving Day.
Gearing up for a Thanksgiving tradition By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com
What began 22 years ago, as a way to provide a Thanksgiving meal to international students at Saint Leo University, evolved over time into a joint effort by the Benedictine Sisters of Florida and Saint Anthony Parish to feed the hunger “of anyone alone or in need” on Thanksgiving. “Our outreach is to migrants, the homeless, those who are alone, and those seeking fellowship on this day of thanks and gratitude,” Sister Roberta Bailey, prioress of the Benedictine Sisters of Florida, said via email. “It is always a fun day of family and friends coming together in community to give thanks,” she added. The meal is served on Thanksgiving Day at 2 p.m., in the Saint Anthony Parish Hall. Deliveries are also made to people who are unable to get to the hall, according to Faith
Pridmore, director of mission advancement for the Benedictine Sisters of Florida. Sister Mary David Hydro chairs the event and there are generally about 25 volunteers, including those that deliver, Pridmore said. “We usually feed about 225 at the parish hall, plus the deliveries, plus we usually send pans of food over to the abuse center, so we feed about 350,” she said. The menu consists of turkey, salad, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, pie, and coffee, iced tea, lemonade and water. “We actually get the turkeys sliced,” Pridmore said, which cuts down on labor. But, volunteers “come the night before and usually peel 100 to 125 pounds of potatoes.” “The Women’s Club over at St.Anthony’s do the pies,” she said. Except,“Sister Donna DeWitt does all of the pumpkin pies that go in the take-outs to the homebound.” See THANKSGIVING, page 13A

Grand Horizons had a Halloween Bash in the community center on Oct. 29, hosted by Gary Wilcox. There were 66 residents and guests, and everyone appeared to be having a great time. Karl Sapp, who entertained for three hours, performed a variety of country and rock ’n roll songs. There was many a slow dance thrown in, too, such as “Waltz Across Texas” and other slow songs. There were also several line dances, which are always a hit to the crowd.
The community center was decorated with ghosts, witches and other Halloween décor. Many of those attending wore costumes, and the community center was filled with happy partygoers. Each couple brought a dish to share. Needless to say, everyone had their fill, and enjoyed themselves, too. Our thanks go out to Gary Wilcox for arranging the event. After our coffee/doughnut hour on Nov. 1, there was a social club meeting.This was very informative and you heard, first-hand, the activities that the club is working on.

New district park opens in Starkey Ranch development By Kathy Steele ksteele@lakerlutznews.com
Pasco County residents have a new district park, shaped and landscaped out of a former cow pasture at Starkey Ranch. But, before children could run bases at the new ball fields or play hopscotch at the playground, the “premier” park got its official unveiling at a ceremony on Oct. 31. About 30 people attended, including members of the Starkey family, the development team for the master-planned Starkey Ranch community, all five of the current Pasco County commissioners, school board members, and Pasco County School Superintendent Kurt Browning. “It’s a first-class park, and I hope it’s the beginning of what all parks in Pasco will look like,” said Pasco County Commissioner Kathryn Starkey.“This should set the bar for all the parks.” An R.O.T.C. color guard presented the colors during the Pledge of Allegiance. River Ridge High School students with the Knights of Jazz entertained. Guests enjoyed a catered luncheon. The ribbon cutting marked the completion of the first phase of what is estimated to be a $14 million project, spread over several years. Two additional phases are planned. No construction date is scheduled for the next phase.The park is being completed on a pay-as-you-go plan. The county budgeted about $7.3 million for the initial design and construction of the park.The county, Pasco County Schools and Wheelock Street Capital agreed to a public/private partnership to build it. The partnership was the first of its kind in Pasco. Once completed, the shared site is expected to have 14 ball fields, a library, gymnasium, media center, tennis and basketball courts, a paved trail, a black-box theater, and a school for elementary and middle school students.
KATHY STEELE
Members of the Starkey family were recognized for their vision in fostering the Starkey Ranch District Park. They were joined on stage by Pasco County commissioners and Starkey Ranch developers.
The school will be built on pastureland adjacent to the park, with an anticipated opening in August 2021. “That might sound like a long time off,” said Browning.“But, in school years…that’s short.” The district park is in Odessa, off the main entrance into the master-planned community of Starkey Ranch, at 2500 Heart Pine Drive. The newly dedicated park has a playground, pavilion, three multi-purpose fields, practice fields, a softball field, a paved trail, concession building, restrooms and a maintenance building. The seed for the park began with talks between county and school board officials. Initially, plans were to co-locate county and school district facilities. But, then in 2013, the school district sug-
This Shack is Not To Too Shabby
gested a more ambitious approach to share facilities and create the public/private partnership. “They took a chance to get this done,” said Dan Green, a principal at Wheelock Street Capital and developer of Starkey Ranch.“But, it’s all coming together to make this a premier place to live in Tampa Bay.” Construction on Starkey Ranch was just getting started in 2014, said Matt Call, project director for Starkey Ranch/Wheelock Communities. “We had to build all the infrastructure into the park,” he said.“There was no Heart Pine Drive.This was just a cattle field.” Per the cooperative agreement, the developer initially will pay for operation and maintenance at the park, with the county gradually sharing in the costs. By the eighth year, the county will have full responsibility
for the park. The arrangement helped the county and school board leverage available taxpayer funds for the project, said Browning. For instance, the school’s gymnasium, media center, library and black-box theater will be shared among residents and students. “We want to keep the costs off the taxpayers,” he said. Pasco County Commissioner Mike Wells said the county has come a long way in developing its park system since his days playing soccer as a teenager. He recalled a do-it-yourself method of mowing a playing field in his neighborhood the night before a soccer match. “This is very exciting,” he said. “I can’t wait to see thousands and thousands of our youth out here enjoying this.”

The Shabby Shack in Land O’ Lakes is full of “a little bit of everything and a whole lot of nothing.” g That’s because the one-of-a-kind pieces in the store are hand-selected by owner Laura Sanderson, and no two items are the same. The combination antique and vintage shop is located on Land O’ Lakes Boulevard, north of Bell Lake Road. Two years ago, Laura moved into the Tw historic building, which was previously home to Famous Tr Treasures. Prior to that, the space housed Calamity Jane’s, another antique store that long-time residents may remember.

Runners enjoy good weather at 24th annual Flapjack run The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report
The weather was beautiful for the 24th annual Flapjack 5K and 1-mile run. The event, held in the Connerton community of Land O’ Lakes, drew about 100 runners from across Tampa Bay. They took advantage of the gorgeous day to stretch their legs and get their hearts pumping at the event, which honors the memory of the late Kris Keppel, who was a longtime cross country coach at Land O’ Lakes High School. Proceeds benefit charitable organizations.

The Jointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president of business operations, Alex Pierroutsakos (left) discusses his own subluxation issues with Dr. Barnabas Bickerton, D.C. (right).
Not the Same Old Routine Special to The Laker / Lutz News Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a story as old as healthcare. You get a nagging injury. Head over to the chiropractor for an adjustment. You feel better, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return. That is, until the pain returns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really the wrong approach,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Barnabas Bickerton, D.C. of The Joint chiropractic clinic in New Tampa Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chiropractic is really about preventative care and correcting our bad body mechanics.â&#x20AC;? No one understands this more than The Jointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president of business operations, Alex Pierroutsakos. After a tragic car accident at the age of 23 left him without a right arm, and with severe nerve damage, he slowly came to understand the real benefits of chiropractic medicine. At first there were a lot of surgeries, physical therapy and message therapy, but there was also a lot of pain. Fortunately he was able to avoid the pitfalls of opioids, but when the pain would get severe, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go in for an adjustment. Then pretty much ignore the urging of his chiropractor to schedule regular visits. After many years of this revolving door approach he recognized that maybe chiropractic care is a lifestyle, like his doctor had insist-
ed, instead of the quick fix he was using it as. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It finally dawned on me that because of my injuries my body is obviously out of alignment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see now how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improved my overall health and well-being,â&#x20AC;? he waxed reflectively. Through manual manipulation of the spine chiropractic care works to restore and maintain proper communication from your brain to your body by relieving what chiropractors refer to as subluxation, or spinal misalignment. Restoring proper alignment can assist with relief of back and neck pain, migraines, joint discomfort, as well as sciatica and fibromyalgia. Dr. Bickerton proudly added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Jointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s philosophy is a core value in the practice of chiropractic. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m grateful to be working with them, specifically because the people I work closely with understand this approach and enthusiastically share my dedication to our purpose in the community.â&#x20AC;? Whatever symptoms you may be experiencing, The Joint invites you to join the millions who have a found a pathway to wellness with chiropractic's natural, drug-free approach to healthcare. You never need an appointment or referral to visit them. To find out more call or check out The Jointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.

FEE, from page 1A
The basic fee schedule, per Resolution No. 738-17, includes the following figures:
dozen city staffers from multiple departments. “It’s a lot of staff time to review and coordinate all the different aspects that go into these kinds of reviews,” Spina said during the workshop. “In the long run, you have to justify your costs. I think this helps us do that. It helps us get reimbursed when we hire consultants to do things, and it helps with some of the staff time that goes into it—and it’s a lot of time for them,” he said. Rental policies for both the Alice Hall Community Center and the Airport Venue were also presented at the workshop. The charge for renting out Alice Hall will remain at $40 per hour, but minimum hourly requirements have been added, under Resolution No. 739-17. A rental minimum of two hours will be required from Monday through Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., while a minimum of four hours will be required for rentals Friday, Saturday and Sunday, between 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Meanwhile, the city plans to establish rental prices for its community airport venue, which is home to the annual Pigz in Z’ Hills BBQ & Blues Fest. Since its launch in January, Spina said the city has struggled to determine rate charges for event hosts. The 14-acre community venue site, at 5040 Airport Road, includes a 20-by-40 stage and 50 vendor spaces equipped with water and electricity, along with additional space for freestanding vendors, business expos and children’s activities. The venue is situated north of the Zephyrhills’ City Yard, stretching to Airport Road and backing up the southern boundary of the Lincoln Heights subdivision. Rates will be based on a sliding scale, dependent on attendee figures and if alcohol is served, per Resolution No. 745-17. For example, renting the venue for less than 500 people could cost between $300 and $360. An event with more than 10,000 attendees, such as Pigz in Z’ Hills, could cost somewhere between $2,600 and $3,100. Those figures also incorporate cleanup, city personnel and employee labor.There’s an additional surcharge for booths and trailers. Spina said the finalized fees first have to be “cleaned up” and will be presented to the council at a later date. Besides venues, shade hangar rentals at the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport will increase to $125 per month, up from $95.All other prices at the airport will remain the

same, per Resolution No. 743-17. Those aren’t the only price changes coming to the city. Cemetery and cremation lots at the city’s Oakside Cemetery are increasing for residents and non-residents, the first price change since 2005. Cemetery lots for residents and city employees will be $800, up from $750, while cremation lots will be $350, up from $300, under Resolution No. 740-17. Cemetery lots for non-residents jumps to $1,200, up from $810, while cremation lots will be $525, up from $350. Spina defended the price increase for nonresidents during the workshop, noting many people will “shop” cemeteries from across the region, which may eventually lead to lot availability issues for the city in several years from now. “We have a lot of people coming from St. Petersburg or elsewhere to use the cemetery because it’s less expensive. It could be a space issue down the road,” he said. A fee policy for public records requests also was introduced. Requests estimated to require more than an hour of a city employee’s time; a minimum deposit of $25 will be required. Additional charges will be added to cover the cost of posting and packaging. Spina noted the city has received an influx of requests daily and weekly, often related to council actions, police incident reports, and personnel records. “People have a right to the public record, so you have to try to determine to balance those customer needs,” he said. Other workshop items, including transportation impact fees and fire user fees, were tabled for a later date.
BUGS, from page 1A and rolling hills of Pasco County, including stops at some local hot spots along the way. Cash prizes will be award for best and worst hands. The Poker Run will leave the fairgrounds between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., and will return by 2 p.m. The traditional “VW Parade” is set for Nov. 11 at 2 p.m., with an escort into historic downtown Dade City where the VW CruiseIn Party is scheduled from 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Highlights for the party will include live music and craft beers. Another event, called Bugs on the Track, is set for Nov. 11, from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. It involves a dune style, off-road course, incor-
THANKSGIVING, from page 1A “The day of, Sister Donna does all of the cooking. So, the stuffing and the turkey and the gravy and the mashed potatoes and the green beans — and she has some helpers. “Then, we have the drivers. “Then, we have the servers at the parish hall,” Pridmore said. “Ellen Mejias is the volunteer kitchen manager. She’s got two older daughters that help, usually, and her husband,” Pridmore said. The idea is to provide “a feeling of fellowship, community and faith” in addition to the holiday meal.
porating obstacles and rhythm sections. It is suited for drivers of any skill level. Throughout the day on Nov. 11, there will be live music and entertainment on the main stage. If you enjoy performing before a crowd, you can take advantage of an open mic, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Featured bands will be hitting the stage at 4 p.m. Food vendors and Big Storm Brewery will be at the event all weekend. Another new element of this year’s event will be the Southeastern Baywindow Rally, slated for Nov. 11. The main day for the Southeast’s largest VW Car Show and Swap Meet is on Nov. 12, when the VWs will be judged.There will be scores of vendors, live entertainment and various activities.
“The kids over at Saint Anthony’s usually do the decorations.We try to make it as special as we can,” Pridmore said. The Saint Leo University student Social Work Club, under Dr. Veronika OspinaKammerer, does fundraising each year to support the holiday tradition, Pridmore said. Others help, too. For instance, Pridmore said,“The Golden Corral gives us the rolls and their honey butter.” If you would like to help or attend this year’s gathering, please call (352) 588-8443. Those wishing to attend are asked to call by Nov. 17 at 1 p.m., so organizers can get a head count.

Sunlake golfer among local standouts at states By Kevin Weiss
Additional Q&A with Sunlake’s Jordan Sarhaddi
kweiss@lakerlutznews.com
N
early two dozen high school golfers, boys and girls, from The Laker/Lutz News Coverage area competed in the 2017 Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) state tournament, which ran Oct. 31 to Nov. 8. Sunlake High’s Jordan Sarhaddi was one of the standouts. The junior tied for 16th in the 2A boys meet, shooting a +13 (75-82—157) at El Campeon Course at the Mission Inn Resort & Club in Orlando. Only two other golfers from The Laker/Lutz News coverage area secured top 20 finishes: Freedom High senior Cy Storlien, who tied for 14th in the boys 3A tournament, and Freedom High junior Helena Noel, who tied for 17th in the girls 3A tournament. Both were individual qualifiers. Sarhaddi’s strong showing at states is no surprise. He took first place at districts and runner-up at regionals — firing 69 at both meets. The state tournament, however, presented unique challenges. There were elevation changes of more than 80 feet, cumbersome wind conditions and fast, complex greens. Simply, the course “exposes every part of your game,” Sarhaddi said. “The course was playing real difficult. There are not many low scores out there,” said Sarhaddi. “I feel like I played better than my score showed both days, but it’s a tough golf course,” he said. Sarhaddi last reached states as a freshman in 2015, where he finished 30th after shooting +30 over par. Scores aside, Sarhaddi savored the chance to test his skill set and compete alongside his Sunlake teammates at the state meet. The Seahawks finished 12th out of 16 teams in 2A. “It’s definitely fun whenever you get to go with the guys who you’ve spent the entire season with and have practiced with them.You set your goals at the beginning of the season and this is what we wanted — we wanted to make it to states,” Sarhaddi said. “We made it a lot of fun. It’s a great group of guys that we have, and they’re all fun to be around,” he added. The state meet caps off what’s been a breakout campaign for Sarhaddi in 2017. The Land O’ Lakes resident currently ranks fourth on the Premier Junior Golf Tour in the boys 16-18 division, with first place finishes at the St. Petersburg Country Club Junior Championship in May and the Crescent Oaks Junior Open in February. He also ranks 13th on the Florida Junior Tour in the boys 16-18 division, earning sev-
On favorite moment from this past season: “Regionals was probably the best that I shot, just because that even though I shot a 69, I started off much worse there, and I had to really fight back. I think I was 3 over par through six holes, and I really fought back. That was probably the best 69 I’ve ever shot as far as how I was playing because I really wasn’t playing that great, but I was able to scratch and claw, and make a few birdies coming in. …That was probably the best one because the stakes were the highest, too. We needed a good score to actually make it to states, which has been the goal the entire year.” On his biggest golf strength: “My short game has really been good for me the past three or four years because I’ve learned to salvage good rounds out of not playing so well— not hitting the ball as well as I know I can— but still being able to grind out pars and shoot decent scores, knowing I can rely on my short game even though I’m not hitting it great. I just know my own game. That’s one of my strengths as well, just knowing my own game and knowing how to almost outplay my competitors. Even when I’m not hitting as well as they are, I know when the right moments are to come up clutch with a par save or something. That’s where I’ve really leaned on my short game, and I work on that really hard because it’s saved me many times, and it will continue to do so probably in the future.”

eral top 20 finishes at sanctioned tournaments over the summer. Those performances have since caught the eye of Division I college programs, including the University of Florida and the University of Central Florida. Sarhaddi, meanwhile, is gearing up for another busy offseason and a daily practice schedule that consists of countless hours of swing drills and short game work. “I’m definitely going to stick with it. I’m

On what he’s looking to improve: “I haven’t always been the most consistent ball striker as far as getting it to the green. Usually my iron play is a bit off, which exactly what was off at states, which is why I struggled in the last round.”
Steinbrenner Warriors—8th place 328-337—665 Anna Jansen, senior (Tied 39th) 77-84—161 Alexis Castillo, sophomore (Tied 48th) 79-88—167 Posie Farrelly, freshman (Tied 52nd) 88-80—168 Lindsey Kolano, senior (58th) 85-86—171 Mckenzie Kane, freshman (Tied 62nd) 87-87—174
going to keep the practice schedule going everyday and just really try to better myself — work harder with the practice, do everything I can to take care of my body and my golf swing,” Sarhaddi said. “In the summer, I’ll try to qualify for the U.S. Junior Amateur and the U.S. Amateur. I really had a great summer this past summer, so I’m just really going to try to build on it and work up for the bigger tournaments coming up.”
On which pro golfer he idolizes: “My favorite ever is Tiger Woods. He’s always been the grinder, and he’s always known how to win and to close out tournaments. That’s the kind of player I try to be. I don’t think there’s anyone that I try to model my game after, but he’s definitely someone I look up to as far as what I’d like to be and what I’d like to do, if I do end up making it pro. That’s someone to really follow as a role model for what he’s done on the golf course.”
Besides Sunlake, other local schools represented at states included Pasco High School (boys), Steinbrenner High School (girls) and Zephyrhills High School (girls). Wiregrass Ranch High freshman Norah Catlin was an individual qualifier in the 3A girls meet.

MacDill AFB’s changing missions through 75 years By Kevin Weiss
kweiss@lakerlutznews.com

acDill Air Force Base has been around for more than 75 years — with roles that have changed to correspond with evolving military needs. The base now houses the 6th Air Mobility Wing, with operations primarily in aerial refueling mission and personnel transport. Its purpose was quite different during World War II, however. The Tampa Bay History Center, in partnership with the Jimmie B. Keel Regional Library, recently had a presentation documenting the history of MacDill Air Force Base. The event was led by Clete Belsom, a retired lieutenant colonel in the United States Air Force and a docent at the history center. Belsom, who volunteers once a week at MacDill, detailed how the air force base has evolved over decades. He also described the important role the base has played in the COURTESY OF TAMPA BAY HISTORY CENTER area’s history and economy, during an hourThis is a B-17 in flight. Between 1942 and 1945, the 91st Bombardment Group — which operated the B-17 Flying Fortress — flew long interactive discussion. 9,571 combat missions throughout Europe. As war clouds gathered in the late 1930s, the United States War Department ordered the development of six new strategic bases nationwide. Interestingly enough, Tampa was chosen over Arcadia for the country’s southeast base location. “The War Department said, ‘Wait a minute, Arcadia’s so isolated. It doesn’t make sense.’And, it really didn’t make sense,” Belsom said. MacDill was originally established as Southeast Air Base in 1939.

Bruno is a 3-year-old brindle mix that came to the shelter in August and was extremely emaciated after being abandoned. He is surging ahead and enjoying the fun things in life, and loves to hang out in the administration building. Bruno doesn’t mind wearing outfits or sunglasses, and is very playful and likes to roll toys through the office. He passed his dog-to-dog assessment and shows good greeting skills. Bruno also did well on his cat assessment (although a meet-and-greet and slow introductions are still recommended). He was nervous in his child assessment. All Bruno knows in life is that he loves everyone he meets.

Church and Carrollwood Cultural Center choirs performed a medley of Armed Forces songs and “God Bless America.” A representative from U.S. Rep. Gus Bilirakis’ office presented a letter to the veterans, and state Rep. Danny Burgess presented the veterans with the 50th Vietnam Commemoration lapel pin. In 2015, then President Barack Obama signed a proclamation to honor those that served during the Vietnam era conflict between 1955 and 1975, regardless of location, Graves notes. She said the Wesley Chapel Noon Rotary Land O’ Lakes Satellite Club is proud to be a Commemorative Partner and plans more ceremonies in the future to honor those who served during the Vietnam War.
