Turner Elementary School
Turner’s Chess Team does it again! By winning the 1st place team trophy at the February New Tampa Scholastics event, Turner has performed a truly impressive feat- namely a threepeat- whose streak extends back to December of 2011! Unlike the last two nail-biting finishes, this time out Turner dominated from the first round until the last. Turner came out on top of 12 other schools from the Tampa Bay area. WOW! TURNER CHESS ROCKS!! After three straight victories in the monthly New Tampa Scholastic Chess tournaments, Turner stumbled a bit and came in 2nd place at the March event. Oh well, as the saying goes: “You can’t win ‘em all”. Still, Turner took the 2nd place team trophy over 14 other schools!
Abigail Zelenka received an overall Superior in her 5th grade category of Physical Science Energy. Congratulations Abigail!
Taking home the 3rd place trophy was Rahul Tatineni, who scored a very impressive 3/4 points! Capturing the 9th place trophy was Peter Peng, while Sai Gona added the 10th place trophy to his growing collection. Earning the 11th place trophy was Balagi Iyer, while the steadily improving Luke Bailey won a cool gold chess medal for his efforts! A great job by all.

Wharton High School, led by current 2011 Hillsborough County Track Coach of the Year, Wes Newton, has established itself as one of the most successful programs in the State of Florida for Track &Field and Cross Country. To continue this tradition, our Track is in dire need of a “resurfacing”. Wharton’s Track has never been resurfaced in its’ 15 year history. The current condition of our facility is in serious need of replacement. Our goal is to construct a rubberized
track, a common type of track surface installed in track venues throughout the country. Resurfacing benefits are far reaching: • StudentAthletes: Rubberized tracks have proven to reduce injury • Environmentally: Rubberized tracks utilize recycled materials • Community: Rubberized tracks will allow the school and community to host Track Meets drawing teams from around the state, thus bringing in revenue to local businesses • Wharton High School: A rubberized track will benefit Wharton High School as students utilize the track during their High School career from HOPE class to Athletics. We are asking for your Partnership to continue to invest in our Student Athletes, and their continued success in Track & Field Competition, as well as support the training efforts of our Athletic Programs and Clubs. The “Save Our Shins”, Wharton High School Athletic Booster Club, Track Resurfacing Initiative has three “Cat Levels” of sponsorship. We value your Partnership and thank you in advance for your considered support. Any questions may be directed to Andy Ritter at 813- 7162128 or aritter@ tampabay.rr.com. v

N
ew Tampa Pediatric Dental began serving children in the New Tampa and Pasco County areas just about one year ago; however, the practice has been serving children since 2006. The owner, Dr. Francisco Bezerra, or, “Dr. B,” as he is more commonly known by patients and parents, carried over the care for patients in the office previously provided by pediatric dentist, Dr. Anna Seo. Dr. Bezerra, originally from Brazil , and fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, prides himself in providing dental visits that are fun and educational for both the parents and the children. Graduation from the UCLA School of Dentistry in June of 2005 was followed shortly thereafter by Dr. Bezerra’s acceptance into Nova Southeastern University’s College of Dentistry in order to attain his Pediatric Specialty degree, which he graduated with in June of 2007. Immediately after graduating as a pediatric dentist, Dr. Bezerra worked for one of the largest, most prestigious pediatric dental groups in Arizona for three years. Becoming a pediatric dentist was what Dr. Bezerra had dreamed of since his third year at UCLA when he attended a six month dental program
12
where he worked with children. Dr. Bezerra has a genuine, innate love for children, since he grew up with nine brothers and sisters, and then started a family of his own, with his wife Lilyan. Interacting with parents and offering his professional knowledge for their questions and concerns
is a common contribution by Dr. Bezerra, as preventive dental care for children requires the parents to be well informed about essential diet and home care. Since fifty-three percent of children that have not been to the dentist by age 3 have tooth decay by age 5, Dr. Bezerra, along with the Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommend a child’s first dental visit to be right around their first birthday. You may ask, “Why so young?” Well, by establishing a dental home for your child at a young age, the pediatric dentist can help guide parents in
making correct choices in diet and oral hygiene habits at home. This helps to create an ideally healthy oral health for your child, and also launches a guide to follow for both parent and child which can essentially last a lifetime. Dr. Bezerra states, “One of my goals is to not blame parents, or not to make them feel uneasy about their parenting choices. Since I have six children of my own, I understand what it’s like to be a parent and go through the different scenarios with children when providing care for them in the home.” Along with home care and diet information, there are some concepts that parents have about bottle feeding, sippy cup usage, and pacifiers that may be incorrect, since those concepts have, in essence, been passed down through several generations. Dr. Bezerra enjoys taking the time to explain the risk of severe childhood caries with all parents so that they are well informed. When parents know about how they can take
small steps at home which can help their child’s overall dental health, the parents can then reap the long-term benefits from those good choices. Ultimately, “There is a genuine gratification in a child’s eyes when I perform treatment for them. An immediate reward is received, not just by the patient, but also by their parents, and also by me. When the child feels accomplished, that feeling goes well beyond just the child; the parents and the siblings are able to share and enjoy their sense of success, too.” For appointments please call Dr. Bezerra's office at 813-991-5300, Seven Oaks Professional Park, 2242 Ashley Oaks Circle, Wesley Chapel. v

Hello Residents, I am very happy to be working here at Grand Hampton as your Licensed Community Manager. I have been working closely with both Barry Moon and Tri Morocco to facilitate a smooth transition to onsite management for the Grand Hampton Community. I can be reached with questions or concerns by phone at 813-973-8368 or through email at rmacone@ melrosemanagement.com. I am in the office on Thursday evenings until 7 pm to accommodate residents who cannot make it in to the office during typical business hours for new barcodes or resident IDs . Additional weekend or evening hours can be arranged. Rebecca Macone, Licensed Community Manager Common Violations At Grand Hampton, deed restriction violations are noted during weekly property drives by the community manager. A reminder notice is sent and the property is rechecked in two weeks to ensure compliance. If the property is still in
violation, a second notice is sent to the homeowner. A final check is made and, if the violation has not been cleared, the homeowner will be notified to appear at a Compliance Committee hearing. At this meeting, the homeowner can explain to a committee of three residents why he or she is unwilling or unable to comply with the Deed Restrictions of Grand Hampton. The committee then determines a course of action, either granting the homeowner an extension to correct the violation or levying a fine of up to $100 per day and $1000 per occurrence. Some of the most common violations deal with weeds in the sod or plant beds. It is imperative that lawns be treated with weed killer and fertilizer regularly. Also, as summer approaches, please check to ensure your sprinklers are functioning properly. Sod requires an inch of water twice per week to survive. Lawns that are dry and yellowed need more water. Now is the time to replenish mulch in your plant beds. Adequately mulching your flower beds will help prevent weed growth and retain water in your shrubs
and flower beds. Please keep in mind that Grand Hampton prohibits trash receptacles being stored in view from any street or lot. Please put your trash cans away. They are not to be stored on the driveway. Spring is also a great time of year to break out the pressure washer and hose off mildew stains on your house, driveway or sidewalk. It is each owner’s responsibility to trim street trees to a minimum height of 8 feet from the ground. Please ensure your tree is not impeding sidewalk or street traffic Weston Manor/Lake Hampton I have been asked to clarify for all what landscaping is done by the HOA and what is the homeowner’s responsibility. Currently, per the contract with Midstate, the following is to be done: Weekly from March - October • mow • edge • trim • blow • Fire Ant mounds treated • Insect treatment as needed • street tree pruning to maintain 10’ clearance • fertilization as needed • weed control of turf and beds as needed Monthly • shrubs trimmed Yearly • palms trimmed Irrigation • Full inspection monthly to ensure all heads are functioning
It is the homeowner’s responsibility to add mulch yearly to maintain adequate cover in the plant beds. Also, homeowners must replace any landscaping that has died. Midstate will warranty the sod only if the irrigation clocks have not been tampered with. Sod requires an inch of water twice per week to survive in the heat here. For the average lot in Weston Manor or Lake Hampton that is approximately $100 a month in water just towards irrigation. Due to the current, excessively dry conditions, two days per week of watering may not be enough to provide adequate irrigation to lawns, shrubs and plants. Because City of Tampa watering restrictions will not allow for more days per week, some areas may yellow if the drought conditions persist. Reminder All pets in Grand Hampton must be leashed at all times when off the owners’ property. Please do not let your dog or cat roam the neighborhood. Also, be sure to immediately clean your pet’s waste from sidewalks and common areas. Please dispose of your pet’s waste in your own garbage receptacle. We have had numerous complaints of unleashed dogs urinating and defecating in neighbors lawns with the owner nowhere to be found. Grand Hampton deed restrictions and Hillsborough County Code require that dogs must be leashed and waste must be removed immediately. v
