As Easter approaches, churches acrossThe Laker/Lutz News coverage area arepreparing for a host of spiritual activities.

Some churches will be hosting GoodThursday, Holy Friday and Easter Vigil servic-es, while others will be focusing primarilyon Easter Sunday services.

There will be community events, as well,to celebrate the season.

In Zephyrhills, the Zephyrhills-WesleyChapel Ministerial Association will be lead-ing the annual Good Friday Walk of theCross.

Adults and families are invited to thewalk, which takes participants on a 1 ½-milepilgrimage with stops outside sevenZephyrhills churches.

Along the way, individuals take turns car-rying the cross to different churches, and ateach stop, a scriptural verse and reflectionis shared.

The first stop on the walk will be onMarch 25 at 5:30 p.m., at St. Joseph’sCatholic Church, at 5316 11th Street. Thewalk concludes about 6:45 p.m., at the FirstUnited Methodist Church, 38635 Fifth Ave.,where there will be a Good Friday service.

“This is such an amazing event, to havepeople from all different faiths and all differ-ent styles and denominations of Christianity,coming together for something in unity,”said Dennis Harmeson, president of the min-isterial association. Until he participated inthe walk, he said, “I had never seen anythinglike it,” regarding people’s willingness to layaside the things they disagree about, in ashow of unity about the things they agreeon.

On Easter Sunday, Florida HospitalZephyrhills will partner with the ministerialassociation to present an annual Easter sun-rise service, on March 27, beginning at 7 PHOTOS COURTESY OF FLORIDA HOSPITAL ZEPHYRHILLS

If you’re curious about the history ofWesley Chapel, there’s a new event de-signed to help you learn about thecommunity’s past.

Pasco-Hernando State College is hostingthe Wesley Chapel History Fair on March 31,from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at the college’s PorterCampus at Wiregrass Ranch, 2727 MansfieldBlvd. The event will be in the college’s con-ference center.

The event will showcase stories and an-ecdotes about the area, as it has evolvedfrom a rural community into a center forgrowth in Pasco County.

Madonna Jervis Wise will talk about herlatest book, “Images of America: WesleyChapel,” which recounts what WesleyChapel was like when the community stillhad moonshiners, alligator hunters, turpen-tine and timber operations.

Wise also will be signing copies of herbook, which will be available for purchaseat the event.

Other highlights will include presenta-tions from two women who will sharestories about their family members.

Stephanie Black, director of the PioneerMuseum & Village, will recount tales of thelegendary Lonnie Tucker, and Quinn PorterMiller will share vignettes about James H.

“Wiregrass” Porter, and her family.J. Thomas Touchton, founding Chairman

of the Tampa Bay History Center, will sharethe J. Thomas and Lavinia W. TouchtonCollection of Florida Cartography.

Angelo Liranzo, a librarian who spear-headed the digitizing of more than 100years of area newspapers, will provide ahands-on demonstration regarding local his-torical resources.

Wise, who has also written local historybooks about Zephyrhills and Dade City, said itwas harder to find a starting point in WesleyChapel because the community did not havea city hall or established town center.

So, she relied on her knowledge of ge-nealogy and tracked down people shecould interview, which led to more inter-views and documents to help tell thecommunity’s story.

Putting together the book meant inter-viewing scores of pioneer descendants,culling through land records, visiting prop-erties and even putting together a map toget a sense for what it used to be like.

As Wise did her research, she said onesurprising discovery was that women in thecommunity had long been acknowledgedfor their contributions.

“Pioneer women of Wesley Chapel wererevered for their tireless days of toil, with anurturing spirt and the skill to raise largefamilies,” she wrote in her book.

History fair focuses on Wesley Chapel

COURTESY OF MADONNA JERVIS WISEPasco-Hernando State College is hosting ahistory fair on March 31, with speakers shar-ing stories about Wesley Chapel’s past.Madonna Wise will talk about her book,“Images of America: Wesley Chapel.”


The school formerly known asElementary W now has a name.

Pasco County School Board membersvoted unanimously on March 15 to name theschool Wiregrass Elementary.

The board chose the name after little dis-cussion. They decided to go with a namethat reflects the community where theschool will open in August.

Board member Cynthia Armstrong madethe motion for the school’s new name, say-ing she was recommending Wiregrass, ratherthan Wiregrass Ranch, to avoid potential con-fusion with the nearby Wiregrass RanchHigh School.

Armstrong also noted that she prefersnaming schools based on their location be-

cause it helps to build a sense of communi-ty.

She also noted that naming a school for aperson can lead to problems later on. “Downthe road, when we want to repurpose abuilding, we want to repurpose a program, itmakes it very difficult to do so because peo-ple have very strong feelings, as well theyshould,” Armstrong said.

“I have always felt strongly that geograph-

ic names are the way to go,” agreed SchoolBoard Chairwoman Joanne Hurley.

The new school will be led by PrincipalSteve Williams and Assistant Principal MelissaBidgood.

Williams joined Pasco County Schools in2001, working as a literacy specialist, then as-sistant principal and then principal.

Most recently, he led the Office forTeaching and Learning, supporting K-12learning in all Pasco County Schools.

Bidgood joined Pasco County Schools in2004. She spent the first part of her career atSunray Elementary School followed by SandPine Elementary as a classroom teacher.

She later became a literacy coach atSeven Springs Elementary School, internedat Sunray Elementary as assistant principaland, most recently, has served as an assistantprincipal at Seven Oaks Elementary School.

but it is offered by local veterinarians toclients on a voluntary basis.

“We’ve always had the voluntary cat li-cense program,” said Shumate. “It just reallyhasn’t taken off.”

Pasco is one of only a few counties thatdoesn’t have mandatory cat licenses.

Pasco County Commissioner TedSchrader wondered how the license would

be enforced.Pasco County Commissioner Jack

Mariano said raising fees too much couldhave consequences.

“If you do this, are people going to get ridof the cats?” he asked.

It would be a gamble, Shumate said. But,he added, “We’re really asking those of uswho can afford it to give the $5.”

A program to spay and neuter pets, andto educate the public on the value of the sur-geries, is facing a financial crunch.

Reserve funds to keep the program afloatcould be depleted within three years — un-less new revenues are found, and someexpenses cut.

Pasco Countycommissioners got apreview of recom-mendations to addmoney to the coffersof Pasco AnimalServices at a March 15workshop.

Those recommen-dations include amandatory $5 fee fora cat license, an increase in an unaltered doglicense from $35 to $40, and adoption feesof $85 for small breed dogs and puppies.Kittens younger than four months could cost$55.

Other adoption fees would be un-changed, with dogs costing $70 and cats,$40.

No fee increases are anticipated for thecounty’s low-income program for reduced-cost sterilizations for qualified applicants.Those rates are $10 for cats and $20 fordogs.

No decisions were made.Pasco County staff members are expect-

ed to bring the issue back to commissionerslater.

In some ways, Animal Services is sufferingfrom too much success.

Since 2012, more than 10,000 dogs andcats have been sterilized.

“That’s pretty significant,” said Mike

Shumate, the county’s animal servicesmanager.

The county currently contractswith the nonprofit Spay Pasco to man-age the spay and education program,as well as the trap-neuter-return pro-gram to sterilize feral cats.

That contract expires in February2017.

Animal services is recommendingthat the county takes over the pro-grams, estimating potential savings of$18,000 annually.

Over the years, the growing de-mands for sterilization, and foreducational presentations at schoolsand elsewhere, have strained finances,and drained reserve funds.

Deficit spending for the program isongoing annually, and the coffers couldbe empty by 2019.

As an example, the trap-neuter-re-turn program cost about $48,000 in2013, but two years later cost morethan $136,000.

One solution would be to renegoti-ate contracts Pasco has with area cities,and increase fees for the surgeries.

The current contracts are withDade City, Zephyrhills, New PortRichey, Port Richey, San Antonio, thetown of Saint Leo and Safety Harbor.

Animal services also is recommend-ing that the county adopt an ordinance tocodify rules for trap-neuter-return programs.

“We want to make sure people participat-ing in community cat programs have somestandards,” Shumate said.

The cat licenses could add about $68,000to the department’s revenues, based on anestimate of cat-owner households of morethan 13,600.

Cat owners can get a license currently,

Seeking to stop illegal dumpingBy Kathy [email protected]

The collection bins that people fill withdonations of shoes and clothes are a familiarsight around the community.

For the most part, they help local chari-ties that operate thrift stores or havegiveaway programs to benefit low-incomeindividuals and families.

In most cases, they’re clean, well markedand routinely emptied.

But, not always. And now, the PascoCounty Commission and the ZephyrhillsCity Council are ready to clamp down onthose bins that quickly become illegaldumpsites, and eyesores for the community.

Many of the bins that become dumpsites appear to be operated by organizationsseeking clothing items to sell.

Pasco County Commissioner MikeMoore came to a February commissionmeeting with photographic proof of theproblem.

“What happens is a lot of organizationswill collect items and sell them on the openmarket,” Moore said. “You’ll see people aban-don the bins at times, and at times theydon’t make regular collections.”

Pasco County staff members are review-ing ordinances from Deerfield Beach,Jacksonville, Tampa and Manatee County asmodels for a local draft ordinance to bringto county commissioners.

The city of Zephyrhills also is consider-ing an ordinance to curb similar illegaldumping issues at bins within city limits.City Councilman Lance Smith put the topicon the council’s March 14 agenda.

Within the next month a draft ordinanceshould be ready for the city council’s re-view.

Smith’s first encounter with the issuecame about two years ago when he spotteda rusty looking donation bin in the right of

way by Woodland Elementary School. Codeenforcement removed it.

Not every clothing bin is creating eye-sores, but Smith said, “When someone leavesa mattress, the next thing it’s a television. Itbecomes a dumping ground.”

With Pasco County poised to adopt anordinance, Smith said it makes sense forZephyrhills to do the same.

Recently, code enforcement investigateda complaint about illegal dumping at a binat the Winn-Dixie shopping center onCounty Road 54. The property owner wasnotified, said Bill Burgess, Zephyrhills’ build-ing code administrator.

“They had it cleaned up and, I believe,thereafter removed,” Burgess said.

He recalled another bin that from a dis-tance looked legitimate. On closerinspection, it was made of plywood andhand-painted. It had no contact or identify-ing information.

Draft ordinances for Pasco andZephyrhills likely would require registrationand set standards for maintenance and oper-ation.

Moore said Pasco’s ordinance could re-quire that the bins be clearly marked witha business name, a contact phone numberand rules on keeping areas around thebins cleared. Written permission fromproperty owners also should be required,he said.

Moore said he heard from one landown-er who told him that over the past years hehas had to remove bins and illegallydumped materials from his properties, at acost of hundreds of dollars.

The ordinance isn’t meant to makemoney for the county or to hamper busi-nesses, property owners and agencies thatact responsibly, Moore said.

“The last thing we want to do is hurt le-gitimate charities,” Moore said. “We wantthem to keep doing what they’re doing.”

COURTESY OF PASCO COUNTY COMMISSIONER MIKE MOOREAn unmarked donation bin in a parking lot near Sam’s Club on State Road 56 became adumping ground for furniture and appliances.

A Seminole warparty led the attack

Various accounts, publishedon the historic websiteFivay.org, tell the story ofthe Bradley Massacre, re-portedly the last Seminole

war party attack on a settler’s homesteadeast of the Mississippi River.

Capt. Robert Duke Bradley was one ofthe first white settlers to live south of theWithlacoochee River, according to those re-ports.

He wasn’t feeling well on May 14, 1856,and was awaiting supper with his wife andchildren that evening.

The captain, who was bedridden on hisfarm, was a veteran who had fought againstthe Seminole Indians as far north as theSuwannee River.

He had resigned his commission, be-cause he was no longer a healthy man.

The skirmishes he’d been involved inhad damaged his lungs, and for the rest ofhis life, he would require medical servicesfrom the army doctor stationed at FortBrooke.

Bradley had personally surveyed a home-stead in a remote area that would be laterknown as Darby, a community in PascoCounty.

It was frontier country with its share ofmoccasin tracks, but the good news wasthat no Indian sightings had been reportedfor many years.

But, the evening of May 14, 1856, wouldforever change the 53-year-old’s life.

Bradley — who had always been willingto defend his land granted under the ArmedOccupation Act — suddenly heard soundsof a war whoop and gunfire of a Seminolewar party.

The attack would be recorded as the lastattack on a settler’s homestead east of theMississippi River.

Bradley’s 11-year-old daughter, Mary Jane,was quickly shot through the shoulder andheart. The captain saw her come into his

bedroom, where she collapsed and died.Fifteen-year-old William Brown Bradley

was shot on the porch of the log house.An Aug. 4, 1922 Dade City Banner story re-

counting the raid, reported that NancyBradley, the captain’s wife, “…rushed out onthe porch, picked up the wounded boy, andcarried him into the room and laid him onthe bed. He (William) got up, grabbed a rifle,and fired through a crack between the logs,handed the gun to one of his brothers, saying,‘fight till you die’ and fell to the floor dead.”

News of the 15-year-old’s injuriesreached as far north as the Macon WeeklyTelegraph, which on June 24, 1856 report-ed: ‘His body had been pierced by twoballs.”

When Bradley realized the Indians hadreached the steps of his front porch, heheard his wife yell: “They are coming in!”

What happened next was reported as fareast as the Palatka Democrat, which pub-lished a May 22, 1856 account:

“Captain Bradley, who was prostrated onhis bed with sickness, arose and returned afire on the Indians with two or three gunswhich he had in his house, which causedthem to withdraw,” according to the PalatkaDemocrat report.

The Banner’s 1922 article indicated that“one of the boys shot at two Indians whowere trying to hide behind a tree and after-wards more blood was found there thananywhere else.”

Bradley counted at least 15 Indians at-tacking his log cabin.

The Palatka Democrat reported: “CaptainBradley was of the opinion that the Indianswere about his house all night.”

Because he was a known Indian fighter,there are several historical sources that de-scribe the Bradley attack as an act ofrevenge.

During the Second Seminole War (1835-1842), a major strategist and leader for theIndians was Thlocko Tustenuggee— or bet-ter known as “Tiger Tail” to the white man.

And, it was Captain Bradley who hadtracked down and killed Nethlockemathlar,the older brother of Tiger Tail.

Reaching the Bradley homestead thenext day from Fort Brooke, Capt. Thomas C.Ellis and a group of men went into the sur-rounding woods to hunt for the Seminoles.“The camp of the redskins was found in thebig cypress swamp and nearby the grave ofthe Indian killed by Captain Bradley,” accord-ing to the Dade City Banner.

As the Bradley attack produced moresightings and fears of the Indians, Gen. JesseCarter at Fort Brooke received a letter froma citizen’s committee dated May 31, 1856. Itsaid, in part:

“… we therefore most respectfully askthat you will, at the earliest practicable mo-ment, send to our relief a force sufficient toprotect us from the cruel barbarities of thisinsidious foe…”

With the frontier on alert, Bradley andhis wife laid to rest their son and daughter

in unmarked graves. This was done to pre-vent the Indians from returning anddesecrating the burials.

The family would learn later that theIndian war party was pursued as far southas Fort Mead “and the entire band eitherkilled or captured,” according to one news-paper account.

Called “The Bradley Massacre” by a his-torical maker erected by Pasco County in1979, the killings that night 160 years agowas one of several events that ultimatelyforced Chief Billy Bowlegs and the last ofsome 100 Seminole warriors to leaveFlorida at the end of the Third Seminole Warin 1858.

Bradley Massacre makes history in Pasco

COURTESY OF UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA LIBRARYBarracks and tents at Fort Brooke in Tampa Bay, around 1840. In 1824 Fort Brooke was amilitary post established at the mouth of the Hillsborough River in present-day Tampa. Ithad as many as 3,000 soldiers and would take part in all three Seminole Indian Wars. Thefort was decommissioned by the U.S. Army in 1883.

ArmedOccupation ActGranting 160 acres to any head of a fami-ly, the Florida Armed Occupation Act of1842 required a settler’s house to be builtin one year, the clearing and growingcrops for five years, and defending thehomestead.

HARPER’S WEEKLY, JUNE 12, 1858After meeting with U.S. President MillardFillmore at the White House, Seminole ChiefBilly Bowlegs initially agreed to surrender.The U.S. government later offered Bowlegs$10,000 to relocate to the Indian Territory inpresent-day Oklahoma. Bowlegs had led hiswarriors on sporadic attacks, which mayhave included the Bradley Massacre.

Special to The Laker / Lutz News

When people come to Medi-Weightlossin Lutz for help losing weight, many aresurprised by the clinic’s focus on health.

“Losing weight is all about your health.It’s the most important reason to loseweight,” said Gerri Willett, owner andmanager of the clinic on SR 54 and OakGrove Boulevard. “For every 10 poundssomeone loses, it increases their life byone-and-a-half years.”

That translates into living an additionalfive years for the average Medi-Weightlosspatient, who typically loses 35 poundswhile on the program.

“We tell our patients to forget about los-ing weight because of their appearance.We want them to thinkfirst about losing weightto improve their health,”said Gerri.

The Lutz Medi-Weightloss clinic, whichis owned by Gerri, herhusband Tom, and Markand Ronda Willett, is cel-ebrating its 10th year.Their clinic has helpedhundreds of area peopleregain their health by los-ing weight with Medi-Weightloss’ proven three-step program:

“We understand thatlosing weight is very diffi-cult — perhaps one of themost difficult things onecan do,” said Gerri.“We’re here to guide ourpatients through all three phases of weightloss, and then continue supporting them sothey don’t gain their weight back.”

When meeting the staff at Medi-Weightloss, the first thing many peoplenotice is their empathy and sincere sup-port. The medical doctors, who focus onweight loss, and their health care assistants

view being overweight as a medical prob-lem that can be just as serious as diabetesand other chronic conditions.

“People who have never been over-weight don’t understand that losing weightis very difficult, and often mistakenlybelieve it’s a lack of discipline,” said Gerri.“Our staff truly understands the challengesof losing weight, because most of themwere our patients before they becameemployees.”

Studies show that obese people aremore impulsive, are procrastinators andfalsely believe they can lose weight bythemselves, Gerri said.

“So many people come to us caught upin a negative circle, where they lose a fewpounds, only to gain it back because they

eat out of stress or frustra-tion,” said Gerri.

Most of the patients atMedi-Weightloss arewomen, and most havebetween 30 and 50 lbs. tolose. But, many men alsoare clients and do very wellon the program.

“Anyone who does ourprogram correctly, will loseweight,” said Gerri, whosaid most clients lose theirweight in three to fourmonths. “Patients usuallysee a weight loss of 8 to 10pounds in the first week,and then 2 to 3 pounds aweek after that. It reallydoes work!”

As a patient’s bodyadjusts to their new

weight, it becomes healthier, and the per-son feels the best they have in years withmore energy, and fewer aches and pains.

“The longer a patient maintains theirgoal weight, the easier it gets to keep itoff,” said Gerri. “If our program didn’twork, we would not still be in operation 10years after we opened our Lutz clinic.”

Pastor Nick Deford of First Church of the Nazarene, Zephyrhills, delivered the Easter mes-sage in 2015 before a crowd estimated at around 1,500.

a.m. It will be on the front lawn of the hos-pital’s campus at 7050 Gall Blvd.

The service will feature a message fromDennis Harmeson, pastor at ZephyrhillsWesleyan Church, and music by CraigGarrison, a pharmacy regulatory specialistand volunteer spiritual ambassador atFlorida Hospital Tampa, who is also a resi-dent of Zephyrhills.

An offering will be taken for The GoodSamaritan Project of Zephyrhills and for theministerial association, which both are non-profit organizations, and the hospital willprovide complimentary refreshments.

Because of limited seating, the hospitalsuggests that those attending bring a lawnchair. The event will be held, rain or shine.

The sunrise service at the hospital is atradition that began around 1985, said DougHiggins, chaplain at Florida HospitalZephyrhills.

“It’s kind of a gift to the community fromthe hospital, to encourage this importantcelebration of the year,” he said.

One of the highlights is the release of adove, a symbol of the Holy Spirit, Higginssaid.

“That’s a great symbol of Christ’s resur-rection, and new life within us, as well,” heexplained.

The service typically draws about 1,500people, he said.

Harmeson, who will be the main speakerat the sunrise service, said he will be focus-ing on the resurrection of Christ and “howwe react, moving forward with the knowl-edge Christ died for us.”

Scores of churches of various Christiandenominations also are planning specialservices leading up to Easter and on EasterSunday, and we have some of those servicesin our What’s Happening section this week.Many churches also have information aboutthe themes and times for their services post-ed on their websites.

EASTER, from page 1A

By Kevin [email protected]

For the fourth year in a row, cyclists fromall across the nation will make the trek toPasco County to ride in the Gran FondoFlorida racing event on March 26.

The race begins — and ends — in down-town San Antonio.

It is one of eight events across the coun-try as part of the Gran Fondo NationalChampionship Series.

The cycling route is 100 miles, but thereare also 35-mile and 55-mile routes for lessavid riders.

While much of Florida is synonymouswith flat roads, the bike race travels alongPasco County’s rural rolling hills, with cy-clists riding by horse farms and clear springsthroughout the scenic route.

The 100-mile course has nearly 3,000feet of cumulative elevation gain, accordingto Reuben Kline, president and race directorof the Gran Fondo National ChampionshipSeries.

“The rolling back roads are beautiful, butalso very challenging,” Kline said. “The areaaround Pasco County and even up intoHernando County — it offers amazing rid-ing for any perspective. It’s a great area toride— a lot of back roads, low traffic.”

The gran fondo format differs from otherbike races, because it’s not a “start to finish”race. Instead, there are timed segmentsthroughout the courses, which are used tocalculate a rider’s competitive time.

In the 100-mile course, for example,there might be a chip-timed session frommile 17 to mile 20, and again from mile 42to mile 47.

“It’s really a unique style of race. TheGran Fondo is really becoming popular,” saidEd Caum, tourism director for Pasco County.“You casually ride for part of it, and thenwhen you hit your sections where you’retimed, then that’s where you do your sprint.Then, you’re back down to cycling throughbeautiful Pasco countryside until you get toyour next timed section.”

Kline noted the gran fondo format is “lesscontentious” than other road races, becauseit eliminates the “peloton dependency,”where cyclists ride in a tight group, draftingoff one another to conserve energy.

“Historically, bicycling hasn’t been a veryuser-friendly discipline when it comes to acompetitive environment because of theneed to draft in a large group of people. Theatmosphere is often contentious because ofthe dynamics of it, and because of the safety,or lack of safety involved,” Kline explained.“There’s not a lot of closeness among com-petitors, because you’re always like ‘I’mgoing to have to use you to win.’

“What we saw with this gran fondo for-mat was an opportunity to make somethingthat people could both enjoy and (also) becompetitive,” he said.

According to Kline, the gran fondo-racingformat has only been around in the UnitedStates for “no more than six or seven years.”

“It’s a new discipline, and a lot of people

don’t understand, ‘what is a gran fondo andhow does it work?’”

Gran fondo events, which originated inItaly, provide a cycling outlet for everyonefrom beginners to elite cyclists, he said.

“It’s very much like a marathon. Howmany people enter a marathon thinkingthey’re going to win? Not many, but somedo,” the race director said. “The atmosphereis such that those people are showing up tocompete, because it inspires the other peo-ple to compete. People might enter toeither finish the race, finish atop their agegroup or finish at the top of the overallstandings.

“It does provide an opportunity to be

competitive, and not only competitive witha whole bunch of people, but also withtheir friends and teammates.”

Last year, the race drew 297 riders — a70 percent increase from 2014, and a 140percent from 2013 — reports show.

Additionally, only 26 of those riders livedin Pasco County, with the majority comingfrom all across Florida.

There were also participants from adozen other states — Alabama, Colorado,Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts,Maryland, New Jersey, New York, NorthCarolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

A 2015 post-event report shows an eco-nomic impact of $44, 878, based on the totalnumber of room nights booked by partici-pants and spectators.

“They come from across North America,and then you’ll have some people that aredown here—snowbirds and all— that ridethe (gran fondo) races...throughout the cir-cuit,” Pasco County’s tourism director said.“Some people travel specifically to partici-pate in the event.

“As people come here and ride, they’llwant to come back, because it’s so beautifulout there in San Antonio and St. Joseph, andDade City.”

Kline has been pleased with the event’s“very sizable growth” since it’s inception,and plans to bring it back to Pasco County.

“We intend to continue holding theevent in Pasco County. We’ve enjoyed work-ing with the representatives in PascoCounty,” he said.

Gran Fondo FloridaWHAT: A bike racing event for everyonefrom beginners to elite cyclists. There are35-mile, 55-mile and 100-mile routes, eachwith chip-timed sections.

WHEN: March 26 at 8 a.m.

Local soccer player signs with Division 1 teamBy Kevin [email protected]

Mikey Connell — the son of a formerlocal soccer legend — has signed a nationalletter of intent with the University of NorthFlorida in Jacksonville.

The Steinbrenner High standout is theson of former Tampa Bay Rowdies star MikeConnell.

The 6-foot-1 midfielder will be coachedat the Division I college by DerekMarinatos, who’s in his sixth year as UNF’shead coach.

Connell signed his national letter of in-tent with UNF on Feb. 3, two weeks afterending his high school soccer career.

While Connell had a few other collegeoffers, he decided on UNF after meetingwith the coaching staff and visiting the cam-pus.

The three-time All-County selection is re-lieved to have the recruiting process behindhim.

“It was a very stressful process,” Mikeysaid, “because you’re always thinking aboutwhere you are. If a school doesn’t offer you,you’re thinking, ‘Oh no, I’m running out oftime; signing day is coming up.’ Once I com-mitted, it was easy going into the (soccer)showcases and just focusing on playing, andnot worry about attracting coaches to mystyle of play.”

He will be joining a team which has fin-ished over .500 for three straight seasons.The university became an even more attrac-tive option for Connell after one of theteam’s players, midfielder Alex Morrell (of

Lakeland), was drafted 22nd overall in the2016 MLS (Major League Soccer)SuperDraft.

“That was a big factor in my decision,”said Connell, who hopes to play profession-al soccer after he finishes college. “The factthey can produce those type of players

gives me an opportunity to prove myself onthat big stage.”

His father noted it was important to “put(Mikey) in the hands of someone that willtake him to the next level.”

“Certainly, the coaching staff there un-derstands the challenge of preparing playersand delivering players to the professionalranks, which was very important,” Mike said.

This past season, Connell was one of themost productive players in HillsboroughCounty, scoring 26 goals and dishing out 19assists.

“While he’s been a very, very good highschool player, everything resets and now(he’s) going to go and have to do it again,”Connell’s father said about playing DivisionI soccer. “The fact that he has the opportuni-ty to improve himself at this next level is allyou ask for. Now, it’s up to him to go and un-derstand the challenge.”

Throughout his illustrious high schoolcareer, Connell said he’s become more con-fident in his abilities, which is highlightedby his attacking style of play, and his pen-chant for facilitating scoring opportunitiesfor teammates.

“I feel like I see things that most playersdo not see,” said Connell, who helped guideSteinbrenner to a district championship in2014 and a regional championship in 2013.“I’m left-footed, so that’s a unique character-istic. I can take people on with the ball, Ican score goals, and I can assist.

“I’ve really tried to hone my game intoan all-around kind of player over the pastfew years.”

His father, a 10-year veteran of the Tampa

Bay Rowdies, agrees with that assessment.“He’s very confident receiving the ball

and holding the ball when he has it. Hedoesn’t panic under pressure,” Mike ex-plained. “His strongest asset is his vision ofthe game, the creative side of the game.”

Additionally, Mike said his son has be-come a “better leader of his teammates”since he started playing for Steinbrenner.

“He’s seeing the game on a bigger scale....Just maturing with the game and the ex-pectations of a bigger, stronger, morephysical game,” Mike said.

Mike believes his son has the talent toplay professionally, but adds there’s “still alot of development to come.”

“There’s the right of passage to ‘fight thefight’ against everyone out there that mayhave that (professional) ambition,” Mikesaid. “Certainly, had he grown up in the soc-cer environments of South Africa or Europe,he would be further along.”

In addition to playing for Steinbrenner,Connell also plays for the Tampa Rangers, aclub soccer team directed by his father.

The opportunity to be instructed bysomeone who’s played professional soccerfor over a decade has been a key toConnell’s development.

“He’s the biggest impact on my life,coaching wise,” Connell said about his fa-ther. “He’s been my main coach since I was11 when I was on his club team, and he’sbeen coaching me on my own whenever Istarted walking.

“He’s definitely been the biggest influ-ence in my life on the game of soccer,” hesaid.

However, her coach wasn’t the least bitsurprised that Slozer, one of the team’s cap-tains, was recognized — due to thecheerleader’s diverse skillset.

“Stunting—she’s as strong as anything; Ican always put her anywhere,” Garcia said.“Whenever I needed to have the moststrength in (a routine), that’s where shewould go.”

Slozer had the perfect combination ofskill and character needed for a team to besuccessful, added Garcia, who has been acheerleader coach for 13 years, the longest-standing in Pasco County,

“When you have (a cheerleader) that hasthe quality that you want in a kid and theskill level, it’s great,” said Garcia, who is fasci-nated by Slozer’s tumbling ability. “She’s veryresponsible, dependable, caring; just a greatindividual.”

Slozer, who’s been cheering since shewas 7 years old, realizes a lot of peopledon’t understand the challenges and sacri-fices of being a competitive cheerleader —especially when it comes to being a part ofa Garcia-coached team.

“I feel like a lot of people just think westand on the track at football games…but

they don’t understand the competition sea-son is the most serious thing that we haveto do,” she explained. “We practice for sever-al weeks and several hours at a time, andthe work we do while we’re at practice isnot just standing around.”

The Sunlake competitive cheer team fin-ished the year with the highest scoringaverage in the county—74.51— and ad-vanced to the FHSAA (Florida High SchoolAthletic Association) state meet in lateJanuary, placing third in the Class 1A SmallDivision.

Garcia, who helped guide Sunlake to astate title in the 2013-2014 season, was hop-ing for a first or second place finish at thisyear’s state championships, knowing thesquad’s high ceiling going into the season.

“This team had a little bit more talentthan my state (title) team. They got someskills a lot quicker,” said Garcia, who alsowon Pasco County Coach of the Year in2014.

“This team was a lot more laid back thanmy state team. They were not, as a whole, asambitious until the last minute, where it has

to be ambitious from the get-go,” Garcia said.As one of the premier cheerleading

coaches in the area, Garcia has maintained asuccessful track record at Sunlake — threeconsecutive state appearances — by instill-ing discipline, consistency and purpose, andmaintaining the quality of cheerleaders sheselects for her varsity squad.

“I have to stick to my guns and betough,” the head coach said. “If I would notbe tough like I am, it would be very easy forthe kids to lay back and want everything,but not want to work for it. I can’t functionlike that.”

Slozer has witnessed the grind firsthand,whether it’s attending 6 a.m. practices orparticipating in countless post-practicereps.

“She is tough, but she’s the best thingthat’s ever happened to this program, I feellike,” Slozer said about Coach Garcia. “Shecares a lot about it, so that helps.”

“I feel like over the past three yearswe’ve had different rivals every year, be-cause the teams are all different every time,but we’ve stayed pretty consistent,” she said.

To perform a seamless 2 ½-minute rou-tine, which consists of standing and runningtumbling, transitions and stunting, Garcia en-sures her squad is fully equipped to earnhigh scores in competitions.

“I practice them until it’s ready,” Garciasaid, pointing out that stunting is the mostimportant part of a routine. “If it’s not ready,I will have them do whatever we need todo until I feel like it’s done.”

While the season is over, Garcia’s mind isfocused on the program’s next step,whether it’s organizing clinics and camps,or designing future pyramids and routines.

With Slozer’s impending graduation andthe exodus of several other “crucial” seniors,Garcia will once again have to find a way tolead her crop of cheerleaders to the top.

Sanders MemorialElementary Schoolstarted spring breakearly with a day offun in the sun.

More than 700 studentsspent their day at school play-ing games, dancing, relay racing,getting their faces painted andslurping down snow cones.

The annual Field Day onMarch 18 was the last schoolday before the weeklong springbreak started for public schoolsin Pasco County.

Presley Knouse, 9, got hercheek painted with the lettersof her school, SMES. Then, sheheaded off for a round oftinikling, a dance originated inthe Philippines.

Classmates tapped andmoved two poles in and out, asKnouse stepped over or in be-tween the poles.

On the basketball court, stu-dents tested their skills with anoutsized jenga game or zoomedhandmade paper planesthrough the air.

A boom box energizeddancers with familiar tunes, old

and new. From “Hey Macarena”to “Do the Hokey Pokey,” stu-dents got into the rhythm.

On the school’s field, stu-dents tested their strength andskills at tug o’ war, relay races,soccer kicks, or football andbaseball tosses.

About 70 volunteers, and an-other dozen or so teachers andstaff members, participated.Most volunteers were parents,but about eight employees fromthe Nike store at TampaPremium Outlets also helped.

Standing in line, studentshopped with excitement asthey waited a turn at kickingthe soccer ball into a net.

Riya Mendenhall, 5, joined ina tug o’ war.

“You lose sometimes. Youwin sometimes,” she said.

Sanders Memorial PrincipalJason Petry joined in the fun,too. He gave some tips on base-ball pitching to 5-year-oldPatrick Mize, as the youngstergot ready for his wind-up.

“It kind of kicks off theirspring break,” Petry said.“They’ve worked hard since thebeginning of the year. You kindof need a day like this to cele-brate.”

Riley Briggs, 5, bottom left, and Jayda Hammersly, 6, bottom right, found out ‘you can’t win them all’ even inkindergarten tug o’ war.

Chase Martin, 8, takes a rest as he waits for the next event.

The heart painted on Alina McCormack’sface matches her lips, stained from sip-ping her Icee drink.

Srinav Nekkanti, 8, carries empty water bottlesto the recycle bin after teams finished the tug o’war during Field Day activities.
