Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera gives a campaign stump speech to members of the Conservative Club of East Pasco during an appearance Sept. 22.

Carlos Lopez-Cantera is Florida’s secondin-command behind Gov. Rick Scott, but there are still pockets of the state he has only heard about. That included Zephyrhills, until he finally found his way to the City of Pure Water last week in a campaign stop in front of the Conservative Club of East Pasco.And while he might talk about how the governor has kept is word to the point that “even Democrats can’t deny it,” Lopez-Cantera had almost nothing good to say about who Scott succeeded and is facing again in the November election: Charlie Crist.

“When Gov. Scott took over, we had lost 830,000 jobs, and had an 11.1 percent unemployment rate,” all from the Crist administration, Lopez-Cantera said. “Since then, we have added 640,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate is 6.3 percent.” Yet while some might point out the entire nation was in an economic crisis during a good part of Crist’s tenure as governor between 2007 and 2011, Lopez-Cantera accused the former governor of continuously abandoning his post when he was needed the most. “He didn’t even want to be governor when he was governor,” Lopez-Cantera said See CRIST, page 6

Businesses create new beginnings at Zephyrhills chamber By Michael Hinman mhinman@lakerlutznews.com

As she read the long list of businesses and community leaders listed on a plaque in the main lobby of the Greater Zephyrhills Chamber of Commerce, Vonnie Mikkelsen had to smile. “Many of these people are still around, and they’re still thriving in the community,” said Mikkelsen, the chamber’s executive director. The plaque was erected nearly 15 years ago honoring those who helped move the chamber office from its small location on the railroad tracks on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Seventh Street, to its new home at 38550 Fifth Ave., which the chamber bought for $75,000. “Cliff McDuffie was the director back then, and this was his idea to make it happen,” she said. “He did a capital campaign that involved so many people.And the first individuals who wrote a check were this

Just like they did in McDuffie’s time, businesses and community leaders came together to make these much-needed changes happen. Kevin and Kyle Ryman at Ryman Construction oversaw the $50,000 worth of work, with Jodi Wilkeson’s WDA Designs Inc., consulting on how the overall changes would look. K&K Glass stepped in and replaced the dated front door and window, while Pasco Stucco worked with a jackhammer for days to remove the old stone façade, and replace it with stucco. “Many of these guys came in and did it at no personal gain,” Mikkelsen said. “That saved us a lot of money, and allowed us to get a lot of this done that we might not have been able to otherwise.” Instead of a capital campaign, Mikkelsen

Sheffield pitching No challenge too tough for this swimmer Pasco County to the Atlanta Braves By Michael Murillo

mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

By Michael Hinman mhinman@lakerlutznews.com

The Atlanta Braves aren’t making a trip to the postseason this year, but could they instead be planning a trip to Pasco County in a few years? Like for spring training? Gary Sheffield, the retired Major League Baseball star who hit 64 home runs when he played two seasons for the Braves more than a decade ago, believes his old team will come. And if not them, maybe the Houston Astros or Toronto Blue Jays — both which have expressed interest in looking for new spring training homes — instead. Regardless, the former outfielder says the proposed $70 million baseball complex planned on 100 acres in the Wiregrass Ranch area will be so attractive, it would be impossible for any Major League team to turn it down. See SHEFFIELD, page 6

When Taylor Sanders was born, she had a stroke. Diagnosed with monoplegic infantile cerebral palsy, doctors told Taylor’s parents that she couldn’t walk, she couldn’t do things her peers could do and she couldn’t live a normal life. So her parents gave up. Specifically, they gave up on words like “couldn’t.” “We had a No. 1 rule. The ‘C’ word was not allowed in our house, and that’s ‘can’t’ or ‘cannot,’” said Taylor’s mother, Vanessa Sanders. Now, 15 years later, the focus is on all the things Taylor can do. She can walk. She can make friends and fit right in at Zephyrhills High School. And, like many students, she can be an athlete, too. Taylor is in her second season on the school’s swim team. And before anyone even thought about giving her special treatment when she joined, her mother eliminated that possibility on the first day. “I went to coach (Karen Cooley) the very first day of practice, and I told her what she has,” Sanders said.“I said that there isn’t

anything that she cannot do. Anything that you request the team do, I ask you to request that Taylor do the same.” Cooley accepted those terms happily, and ended up with a productive, contributing team member. “She’s an awesome member of the team,” Cooley said.“She’s a leader. She likes to be involved and she’s very creative.” Taylor is supportive of her teammates, and is good at taking direction and working hard to get better, Cooley said. As a result,

her technique, form and times have improved since she joined the team. Being on the team allows Taylor to challenge herself and others while doing something she enjoys in a supportive group setting. “I’ve always loved swimming since I was little,”Taylor said.“And I have a very competitive attitude, so competing while I’m doing something I love is just amazing.” See SWIMMER, page 6

Saint Leo abbot discusses the art of spirituality By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

For thousands of years before Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press, books were printed and illustrated by hand — a painstaking process often completed within the confines of monastery walls. The St. John’s Bible, a modern version of that ancient practice commissioned by St. John’s Abbey and University, depicts the first handwritten illuminated Bible of a monumental size commissioned by a Benedictine Monastery in more than 500 years. The original volumes are housed at the Hill Museum and Manuscript Library on the campus of St. John’s Abbey and University in Collegeville, Minnesota. But 299 reproductions of the work have been made, and two volumes are on loan this year to Saint Leo University, Holy Name Monastery and Saint Leo Abbey. The illuminated volumes and other religious artworks were the focus of a discussion led by the Rev. Isaac Camacho, abbot of Saint Leo Abbey, which is a Benedictine community of monks in St. Leo. The abbot’s talk,“The Art of Spirituality,” covered not only the use of art to inspire spiritual understanding and growth, but also the artful pursuit of the spiritual life. “Who created me? What is there after life? What is God? How is God?” Camacho said. “God’s beauty does not remain wrapped up in himself.” Through his creation of the universe, the abbot added,“our God has already demonstrated that natural things are fundamentally good.” Art is an expression of mankind’s creative nature, he added. “Every single human being knows that there is something creative inside of us and art is an expression of that,” Camacho said. “We cannot deny that art will lead us to try to understand that there is beauty beyond ourselves.”

The Rev. Isaac Camacho recently gave a talk on ‘The Art of Spirituality’ at Saint Leo University, describing how artistic expression and beauty can play a role in one’s spiritual life.

He also believes that being artistic is an intrinsic part of being human. “If you say you are not an artist, you are lying to yourself,” Camacho said. For some people, the art can be as simple as a stick figure. For others, it can be a poem. Pursuing that artistic expression, and using it to help express spiritual discovery, helps people feel more connected to their spiritual life, the abbot added. He encouraged people to feel free to mark up their Bibles with illustrations or other notations, to help make it truly their own. “Your spiritual journey will be nourished when you discover something beautiful,” Camacho said. The St. John’s Bible was completed by a team of calligraphers led by Donald Jackson, the calligrapher to Queen Elizabeth II.The

Reproductions of two volumes of the St. John’s Bible are on display at Cannon Memorial Library at the University of Saint Leo this year to help celebrate the 125th anniversary of Saint Leo Abbey, Holy Name Monastery and the university.

calligraphers collaborated with 80 contemporary artists who illuminated the work. The volumes are made from traditional materials such as calfskin, ancient ink, gold and silver leaf. Calligraphers used quill pens, fashioned from goose, turkey and swan feathers. The reproductions on display at the university’s library are two of the seven volumes of the Heritage Edition of the St. John’s Bible — a limited edition of full-size facsimile reproductions of the original work.

Federal grant allows improved access to care By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

A federal grant will expand opportunities for Pasco County residents to access health care services offered through Premier Community HealthCare Group Inc, which has offices across the county. Premier was the only Pasco health care group in The Laker/Lutz News coverage

area to receive one of the 48 federal grants awarded across Florida. The health care provider received a $258,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The money will be spent to hire a new pediatrician at Premier’s New Port Richey Family Heath Center in Trinity, and a fulltime dental director at its Dade City Dental Center, 37944 Pasco Ave., Suite B,

in Dade City. Premier has more than 2,500 patients in the Central Pasco area, accessing care at its locations in Dade City, Zephyrhills and West Pasco, said Cheryl Pollack, business development director for the health care provider. Premier is helping to implement the federal Affordable Care Act by providing care and linking individuals to coverage through

The public is invited to see the sacred works of art, which are on display in the lobby of the Daniel A. Cannon Memorial Library, on Saint Leo University’s campus at 33701 State Road 52 in St. Leo. The two volumes that are on display include the first five books of the Old Testament and the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John from the New Testament. Pages of the text are turned on a regular basis to new illuminated passages in the volumes.

outreach and enrollment in the health insurance marketplace. The health care group provides primary care, behavioral health and dental care at locations throughout Pasco County. It offers services for children and adults. Premier accepts Medicaid, Medicare, Kidcare and various insurance plans. It also serves people who are not insured, Pollack said.Their payment is determined on a sliding scale, based on income. “We are designed to meet the needs of the population that may not have health care coverage,” Pollack said.

Book captures Dade City’s history through photographs By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

When visitors drop by downtown Dade City, its stately historic courthouse, unique shops and good restaurants likely will impress them. But there’s so much more to Dade City’s story, and Madonna Jervis Wise has captured that through 200 photographs of the people and places in this city that initially was known as Fort Dade. Wise began working on the volume about a year ago. She’d done another book called “Zephyrhills” for Arcadia Publishing, and the South Carolina publisher approached her to see if she had an interest in writing a book about Dade City. Wise wasn’t sure initially if she wanted to take it on. But her family encouraged her to pursue the opportunity, and Wise decided to meet with some local leaders to see if they’d like to have a book about their community published. John Moors, the executive director of the Dade City Chamber of Commerce, greeted the idea with enthusiasm and set up a meeting for Wise with the city’s development director. She also met with the Dade City Preservation Advisory Board, which encouraged her to write the book and provided invaluable suggestions, she said. Wise said her husband Ernie played an instrumental role, too. The book includes photographs of everything from old railroad depots to stately homes, from ballet dancers to orange packers. It includes photographs of the sons and daughters of Dade City, who shaped the community and played an instrumental role in Pasco County and beyond. “Dade City is a rich historical hub,”Wise said.“For many, many decades, this county was run by Pasco High graduates.” The book showcases the community’s diversity, covering the history of the AfricanAmerican community and its migrant farmworkers. Wise used information and photographs she gleaned from a multitude of sources. Jeff Miller of the West Pasco Historical Society provided about 3,000 photos for her to consider from his collection. She also used photos from the collections of Helen Eck Sparkman and of Oliver and Barbara DeWitt, who provided them to Eddie Herrmann, one of the authors of “The Historic Places of Pasco County.” The Pasco County Genealogical Society

and the Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library System’s Genealogical Collection, as well as the librarians, were invaluable resources for the work as well,Wise said. She used photographs from The Memory Project, produced by the Florida government. The book’s photographs convey the city’s history through its people, residences, churches, social and civic clubs, and commerce. It points out that Pasco Packing, later known as Lykes Pasco, was the largest or-

ange packing plant in the world, in the days before freezes, blight and development wiped out much of Florida’s citrus industry. The photographs also show homes of early residents, with many of the structures still standing today. “My husband photographed many of the houses,”Wise said, noting some of the photos had to be taken more than once, to be sure that alarm signs and air conditioners didn’t show up in the frame. When they were out in the neighborhoods taking the photographs, people would approach them and ask what they were doing,Wise said.When she told them about the book, she said,“they would add other pieces to the story. It was great. It was just great.” The actual work of culling photographs, writing captions and arranging the layout was a gargantuan task. But Wise enjoyed learning about Dade City’s history and spending time with the people who helped

on the project. Besides Herrmann, other primary sources included William G. Dayton and J. Thomas Touchton. “I probably talked to Eddie (Herrmann) nearly every day,”Wise said.“And Bill is a real storyteller. He can give you the feel for the different eras. He knew a lot of the inside of what was going on.” Touchton, a Dade City native and leader of the effort to establish The Tampa Bay History Center, also provided valuable insights, she said. Touchton has an international reputation for the collection of maps he’s acquired, and has fond recollections of Dade City. “He told me the most fabulous stories about growing up there,” she said. As she conducted her research,Wise was struck by the realization that Dade City remains a cohesive community, something that’s not all that common in the 21st century. As people page through the volume, Wise hopes it will inspire them to learn more about Dade City. “The book is intended to be an invitation to learn more about Dade City and serve as an enticement to walk through Church Avenue, visit the historic courthouse, dine in a vintage café, or visit the Pioneer Florida Museum and Village,”Wise writes in the acknowledgements section of the book. “History must be shared to pass it on to the next generation.”

Dan opened the doors to his practice 31 years ago and now has offices in Zephyrhills, Tampa, Pasadena, Iverness, Crystal River and Carillon. “Our goal is to help people hear better,” says Jodi. They’ve set up a field study with Starkey Hearing, the largest manufacturer of hearing aids in the U.S., to enable people to try out a hearing aid for 30 days, risk free. “This field study is open to anyone, whether they’ve worn a hearing aid before or not,” says Jodi. “Noisy environments are one of the biggest challenge for wearers Jodi of hearing aids.” Gardner Audiology has partnered with Starkey Hearing to bring to market the latest technology for noise management in hearing aids. “People used to turn down or turn off their hearing aid in noisy environments,” says Jodi. “Current research is finding new techniques for handling noise. These new hearing aids can automatically adjust to the particular environment.” How about a hearing aid made for an iPhone? An app on the iPhone allows the wearer to control, modify and adjust the hearing aid to fit specific situations and environments. It also geo-tags the location and automatically changes the setting for that environment as soon as you arrive. “Hearing loss is a challenge,” says Jodi. “People don’t accept hearing loss as easily as they accept vision loss. The technology has greatly improved. Hearing aids are much more comfortable and noticeably smaller to

the point where they’re almost invisible.” Most people don’t see one day and not see the next. It’s the same with hearing. It’s often gradual. People can lose hearing for particular sounds, such as consonants. They may lose the ability to distinguish particular pitches or frequencies. “People often complain about mumbling, thinking that’s the reason they’re not hearing well,” says Jodi. “That’s usually a sign that they’ve lost hearing for a particular pitch. Today’s hearing aids can be programmed to fit the exact type of hearing loss the person is experiencing.” “Our biggest challenge is getting people in the door,” says Jodi. “My greatest joy is seeing the expression on their face when I turn on the hearing aid and they begin to hear sounds they Conter haven’t heard in years.” “Research has shown a direct connection between hearing loss and memory loss such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease,” says Jodi. “Lack of stimulation causes the brain to shut down. Getting a hearing aid is critical in the early stages of memory loss.” “Some of the same issues that cause hearing problems may affect balance and dizziness,” says Jodi. “Everyone should have a baseline hearing test done. Then when they come back, we can tell if they’re experiencing hearing problems.” The human brain is an amazing organ. It adjusts and compensates for hearing loss quite well, up to a point. The only way to be sure that we’re hearing as well as we could be is to get a hearing test from a certified audiologist.

Bulldogs pick up pieces after tough loss By Michael Murillo mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

At least they know where they stand. The Zephyrhills Bulldogs are a very good football team, as evidenced by their first three games — winning by a combined score of 146-44. But they’re clearly not the class of their district after taking a 45-10 loss at home to defending Class 5A-District 6 champion South Sumter.And according to Head Coach Reggie Roberts, the Bulldogs definitely are not the kind of team that can hurt themselves and expect to beat a school of that caliber. “We knew that we can’t make mistakes with that team and survive, and we did that,” he said. The Raiders had a strong start against Zephyrhills, building an early 21-point lead. But the Bulldogs fought back, scoring a touchdown and getting in position to score another. Instead, they settled for a field goal, later gave up the ball on a muffed punt, and allowed another touchdown before halftime. That took them from a more manageable 21-14 or 21-10 halftime deficit, to instead trailing 28-10 at the break — a big blow in a game marked by poor weather. “That’s tough to do against a very good football team,” Roberts said.“I think that was a turning point.” While it’s tough to lose a district game, it’s also disappointing to see some players not bring their best to such an important contest, Roberts said.Yet a few did answer the call and gave their best in difficult conditions. Players like offensive linemen Austin Larkin and Jonah Thomas caught the coach’s eye for their effort the entire game, and senior Jaylen Pickett was singled out for his mental and physical toughness, and efforts to motivate the team.

“I saw him all game trying to get the guys up,” Roberts said of Pickett. “He’s a competitor.” While bouncing back after a tough loss isn’t easy, Roberts isn’t giving the team any other option. Zephyrhills had some good practices following the loss, and are working to get back to the dominant play they displayed earlier in the year. And with the rest of their district games coming up in

consecutive weeks, there’s no room for error — and not much time to right the ship. “We have to roll from here on out,” Roberts said.“We can’t lose anymore.” The Bulldogs also can’t dwell on the loss. They have to have a short memory and focus on the opponents in front of them, Roberts said. And if the team finds their early-season

form and gets back to their winning ways, the coach doesn’t rule out a rematch with the Raiders down the road. It will take a consistent, strong effort, fewer mistakes, and a winning streak, but the postseason and another shot at South Sumter is possible. “That’s the moral of the story here. We have to play hard,” Roberts said. “That’s a good football team. If we continue to win and don’t lose again, we’ll see them again.”

CRIST, from page 1 of Crist.“The first two years, he was chasing the vice presidency and not focusing on the state.The second two years, he was running for a United States Senate seat.And he is the first governor in the history of Florida to not run for re-election. That is how much he cared about being governor.” Lopez-Cantera was a member of the Florida House representing the Miami area during Crist’s time in the governor’s office, and said he withdrew support of the governor almost from the beginning, despite the two being members of the same political party at the time. “I have known Charlie for almost 20 years,

BUSINESSES, from page 1 chamber members already contribute a lot throughout the years, especially through sponsorship.We wanted to find a way to do this without having to pass around the hat.” When people visit the newly designed

SHEFFIELD, from page 1 “They don’t want to be second to Disney,” Sheffield told a group of business leaders recently at a Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce economic development meeting. “The problem they are having is that the fans coming to the games there are not Braves fans.They are there for Disney, and that is a problem for them.” The Braves have played spring training at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex near Disney World in Orlando since 1998, but have been unofficially considering other options in recent months since their lease there is set to expire in 2017. Wesley Chapel could be perfect for the team, Sheffield says, since many might consider the Interstate 75 trip between there and Atlanta a straight shot. It also makes sense as a second home for the team without making it inconvenient for its fan base. “That is an easy commute for them,” Sheffield said. “All those fans could come straight here, plus go to other places like

and I really got to know him when I was a new member of the Florida House,” LopezCantera said.“That’s when I lost faith in him.” The lieutenant governor said problems started for him when then House Speaker Marco Rubio wanted to pass a much more aggressive property tax bill that would provide larger exemptions on the first $200,000 of a home’s value, and then 15 percent beyond that. Crist, however,“wanted a simple property tax bill, and that is unfortunately what the citizens of Florida got.” Lopez-Cantera and Rubio, however, would vote for Crist’s version of the bill in a special session, using a property tax exemption method still used today. All of Scott’s decisions “have not been

popular,” either, Lopez-Cantera said.“But they have been the right decisions for the state’s economy.” If Scott is re-elected, Lopez-Cantera said residents can expect another $1 million in tax cuts, and another $120 million assessed through cellphone usage. Lopez-Cantera assumed the lieutenant governor’s office in February following the resignation of Jennifer Carroll, Crist’s original running mate in 2010. She resigned last year after she was questioned about her alleged involvement in pushing money toward Internet cafes, which some say are fronts for illegal gambling in the state. “I talk to the governor all the time about the turnaround here in the state,” LopezCantera said.“I’ve only been here for eight

months, but I get to take credit for all his hard work.This is the hardest-working governor that I have ever seen, and I served with three governors.”

office, it might be hard to tell the building is 60 years old. Originally a Bell Telephone building, the chamber office is in the heart of Zephyrhills’ main street — and its history. The Woman’s Club building is just across the street, its stone façade gracing Fifth Avenue for decades, while the Jeffries House — home of the founder of Zephyrhills —

sits next door to it. The entire stretch of Fifth Avenue, including the businesses along it, are part of a Community Redevelopment Agency district, where future tax revenues collected there will be returned to that district through various economic development improvements.

“For us, the scope is not just membership-based, but this is a community-centric chamber of commerce,” Mikkelsen said.“Not only are we servicing our members and the public at large, but we are working very closely with other groups on formulas that will support our existing businesses, and the kind of businesses we can attract here.”

Disney and Clearwater Beach, since they would be close by.That is a possibility that is pretty much there for the taking.” The sports complex was proposed by James Talton, owner of Blue Marble Strategic, and would supply 20 baseball and multipurpose athletic fields, as well as dormitories for players and other amenities. It’s a way to tap into the lucrative youth baseball market, he said. Talton is raising $54 million in private funding, and looking for $11 million from Pasco County tourist tax money, to make such a project a reality. Even without a major stadium component,Talton feels his sports complex could play a role in creating 8,000 jobs in the county, and produce $318 million in annual economic impact, as well as a direct revenue stream of $9 million each year to the county government. But if the project could attract a Major League team, there’s no telling how big of an impact that would have in the Wesley Chapel area,Talton said. Creating a separate field for spring training would not be anywhere near the

headache the Tampa Bay Rays are experiencing with its efforts to get out of Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. In fact, spring training fields are typically much smaller than regular season venues,Talton said, where average attendance usually holds around 6,700. “We would want to put in up to 12,000 seats, but that could be a little ambitious,” he said.“A lot of what we hear from the league is that they want to have no more than 8,000 seats, because they want to make sure they are filled.” Yet, just from his own youth baseball operations,Talton believes he can fill 3,000 of those seats with his players and families that might be using the rest of the facility during spring training time. He wants to be open for business by January 2017, which would be just ahead of when the Braves’ lease with Disney expires. But are the Braves even looking to stay in this part of the state? Braves president John Schuerholz told the Atlanta JournalConstitution in March that staying in Central Florida could be tough.

Many teams that used to participate in spring training are looking for other parts of the state, especially south, and it could be tough for Atlanta to travel around. The Braves want to stay in Florida, however, and have waved off any suggestions the team could move to the other popular spring training state of Arizona. But if the Astros move out of Kissimmee, and the Washington Nationals leave their home in Viera, that could leave the Atlanta team rather isolated in Lake Buena Vista. Yet moving to Wesley Chapel could be a good move in that respect.The Tigers would still be available in Lakeland, joining five other teams in quick driving distance — the New York Yankees in Tampa, the Blue Jays in Dunedin, the Philadelphia Phillies in Clearwater, the Pittsburgh Pirates in Bradenton, and the Baltimore Orioles in Sarasota. The Braves also would be a lot closer to the Tampa Bay Rays, who play spring training games in Port Charlotte. A request to the Braves for comment is still pending.

SWIMMER, from page 1 The team, she said, is her family. “Ever since I started, they’ve accepted me like nothing was ever wrong.” Being an athlete might be a challenge for Taylor physically, but it’s also in her genes. Vanessa Sanders was a softball player in high school and college, and still competes to this day. Her father, Scott Sanders, was a golfer in college. Disability or not, they wanted Taylor to experience the camaraderie of team competition, and the benefits and challenges that come with competing in sports. While she enjoys the competition, her cerebral palsy has made Taylor used to more painful challenges outside the pool. Her hips were growing at the wrong angle due to learning to walk in an unorthodox way, and she would fall up to 10 times on a daily basis. But two surgeries in the past year has helped reduce her pain, limited her falls dramatically, and allowed her to live somewhat more comfortably. The only drawback in Taylor’s mind? It set her back in the pool, and her times aren’t where she wants them to be. “Because of my surgeries, I’ve kind of started back to day one all over again,” she said.

Go online right now, and reach our fact-check at tinyurl.com/LtGovCheck.

But Hannah Cutkomp, a teammate and captain, is impressed with how far Taylor has come in her time with the team. “There’s been a drastic change from what I’ve seen from last year. She’s swimming so much better,” Cutkomp said.“She’s an amazing teammate.” If Taylor is focused and determined while swimming, she’s just as tenacious when she’s on dry land. She plays guitar for fun, but graphic design and animation is her calling. The sophomore already is accumulating college scholarships with an eye on the best schools to help her with that career. She even wants to raise money for a trip to California to visit legendary graphic studios Dreamworks Studios and Pixar Animation Studios to get real-world perspective on the industry. That kind of focus is just part of who she is. “When I find something I love, I run with it,”Taylor said. And her parents are proud to see the results of raising her without words like “can’t” in her vocabulary.They’re also vocal supporters at her swim meets, with her mother getting overwhelmed seeing Taylor accomplish so much when doctors warned them to expect so little. “I cry every single time,”Vanessa Sanders said.“Every time.”

AROUND THE PARKS

It seemed like a whole new world, Part 2 By Helene Rubenstein Grand Horizons

All the buildings had artifacts from the turn of the century, while the jail had the original furnishings from long ago.The jail was built around the time South Dakota was known as part of the Dakota Territory.The old wooden door showed the carving of an escaped prisoner. The second part of Four Mile Old West Town was a one-hour melodrama where the audience interacts with Old West characters. The entire performance was very good and the audience was laughing and enjoying themselves. Late in the morning on Saturday, we went back to the 1880 train and took the train ride. Here we got to see the Black Hills of South Dakota by rail. We experienced a historic, breathtakingly scenic, relaxing vintage train ride.This was a two-hour ride and a 20-mile round trip to Keystone. While we saw much scenery, we also saw the vistas of Harney Peak, which is the highest point between the Swiss Alps and the Rocky Mountains. Later in the afternoon, we went to the Circle B ranch and enjoyed watching the little ones trying to rope a steer (fake of course) and ride a pony, and we also got to see many horses.There was a shootout and after this, we entered the Chuck Wagon hall for dinner and a show. It is here that we stepped back in time and enjoyed an evening of Western hospitality and family entertainment.

On Aug. 14, we had a full day planned as we had reservations for the Fort Hays Chuck Wagon and Dinner Show. It consisted of a nine-hour narrated tour, plus two meals and a show. We started at 7:30 with a breakfast of pancakes at the Chuck Wagon. We then boarded the coach with stops and a narration at Mount Rushmore Memorial. This is quite a site, and we saw videos of the work that went into this great monument. We were COURTESY OF MARTY RUBENSTEIN able to take a walk to view Mount Rushmore up close.
