There is trouble on State Road 54 andState Road 56.

Everyone can see the snarled traffic andcongestion on a daily basis, and it is clearthat it will only get worse with time.

“We’re obviously in a growing communi-ty in Tampa Bay,” said Jim Edwards,transportation manager for Pasco’sMetropolitan Planning Organization. “The

dirt is turning in a lot of areas. We all seethat.”

Unprecedented growth along this corri-dor is turning pastures and open fields intobrick-and-mortar shops, offices, businessparks and houses.

More is on the drawing board, or in theminds, of developers who see fiscal oppor-tunities just over the horizon.

On Sept. 24, the MPO kicked off a seriesof public workshops with two separate vol-unteer task forces that will serve as advisory

boards to the MPO. The focus is on improve-ments on State Road 54 and State Road 56corridor from U.S. 19 to Bruce B. DownsBoulevard.

The recommendations from thesegroups will be the basis for updating theMobility 2040 Long Range TransportationPlan.

Each task force is assigned to examinethe corridor in segments, with the East Task

Disabled,but not discouragedBy Michael [email protected]

When Monica Quimby was in college in2006, she wanted to get a degree in molecu-lar biology and to become a successfulathlete.

Then a skiing accident left her paralyzedfrom the waist down. She was in the hospi-tal for nearly five months as she recoveredand tried to adjust to a newer, more difficultway of life.

Many people would have adjusted theirgoals lower. Some might have given up alto-gether. Instead, Quimby got a degree inmolecular biology and became a successfulathlete.

“I think the biggest thing is that eventhough my physical form changed, my per-sonality didn’t,” said Quimby, now 29.

The degree came first.After the accident, she missed only one

semester at the University of NewHampshire, and she was published for dis-covering maternal ancestors of thestrawberry. Quimby received a Bachelor’s of

Science in Molecular, Cellular andDevelopmental Biology and a Master’sDegree in Higher Education.

Now, she lives in Wesley Chapel, andshe teaches an online Anatomy andPhysiology course for Southern Maine

Community College.Those things, in themselves, make for an

impressive resume.But, there’s much more to Quimby’s

story.She competed in her home state’s

wheelchair pageant and became Ms.Wheelchair Maine in 2011. She went on tofinish third runner-up for Ms. WheelchairUSA.

Still, something was missing.A natural athlete, she didn’t want her dis-

ability to prevent her from playing sports.She tried kayaking and cycling (using handpedals), but eventually found sledge hockey.

Sledge hockey — also known as sledhockey — is hockey played on a sled, andrequires incredible balance and upper bodystrength. She tried it, and fell. And fell again,more than a dozen times in all. But, sheloved it. Soon, Quimby became a talenteddefender.

And the former Ms. Wheelchair Maine,who once wore a tiara and a sash, discov-ered that she really liked hitting peoplewhile defending the ice.

“It feels so awesome. It’s incredible,” shesaid. “I’m the one that’s smiling after I hityou.”

In just 18 months, Quimby has immersedherself in the game. She plays in local recre-ational leagues, as well as the Florida SledBandits, the state’s elite sledge hockey team.

Community gardens, backyard chickens,food deserts and agricultural tourism are ona short list of future policy ideas a citizen’sadvisory council will tackle in PascoCounty.

The Pasco County Food Policy AdvisoryCouncil met on Sept. 30, in its second meet-ing since the Pasco County Commissionappointed nine panel members in June.

Pasco County is the only county with anactive food policy council in the Tampa Bayregion, according to county officials.

Statewide, similar councils exist only inDuval, Miami-Dade and Orange counties.

The group’s first goal is to complete afood assessment to identify resources, needsand challenges within Pasco’s food produc-tion and delivery system. Members also areworking on a draft of an urban agriculturalordinance to recommend to Pasco Countycommissioners.

Regulations for community gardens,backyard chickens and beekeeping couldbe part of the proposed ordinance.

“It gives an opportunity for citizens tohave a voice, and a powerful voice,” said DellDeChant, who encouraged county officialsto create the advisory council. “They (food

policy councils) are at the cutting edge rightnow of agriculture in the nation.”

Others who helped establish the councilwere Kathryn Starkey, a member of thePasco County Commission; Todd Engala, aplanner for Pasco County; Deanna Krautnerof Pasco County Department of Health;Travis Morehead, a farmer and businessowner; and Whitney Elmore, director ofPasco County Extension.

In the past, agriculture meant big corpo-rate farms, but there has been a shift inrecent years to agricultural activities that aresmall, local and often urban, said DeChant, aprofessor at the University of South Florida.

As the council moves forward, the long-range goal is to develop policies to improveaccess to “culturally appropriate, nutritionallysound and affordable food produced in Pasco

County,” according to a mission statement.The council will have a public workshop

on Nov. 4 from 10 a.m. until noon, at theWest Pasco County Government Center inNew Port Richey. Council members will re-view five urban agricultural ordinancesincluding ones adopted by New Port Richey,Dade City and Boston, with a goal of recom-mending a draft ordinance for adoption byPasco County commissioners in 2016.

General meetings will be held quarterly.Members have a range of issues to re-

view.Some municipalities, including Tampa,

allow residents to raise backyard chickens,with restrictions on how many can be kept.

The idea of having chickens in residen-tial neighborhoods may not appeal toeveryone, but it is an idea that Moreheadhears frequently.

“There’s more people looking for back-yard chickens than anything in this area,” hesaid. “I think it’s important to at least presentit, even if it gets shot down.”

The issue of backyard chickens could becrafted as a stand-alone ordinance.

The issue of food deserts also will be ad-dressed.

Food deserts are areas where residents

Church uses prayer to find a building placeBy B.C. [email protected]

Grace Community of Wesley Chapel hascompleted its master site plan and a con-ceptual floor plan for the first phase of itsmain church campus, but it must raise addi-tional funds before commencingconstruction.

The proposed 7,760-square-foot buildingwill seat up to 200 worshippers, and will beconstructed on a site of about 20 acres onBoyette Road, just south of Wesley ChapelDistrict Park, said Pastor Jeff Olsen.

The property was acquired by thechurch in April 2014.

The church also will provide ampleroom for a full children’s program onSunday mornings, and will host a Christianpreschool and other programs during theweek.

Dykes-Johnson Architects, of Brandon,designed the structure, which features alarge cross in the middle of a glass entrywaythat will lead into the main gathering area.

Future phases have been planned, so thechurch will be able to grow along with thecommunity surrounding it, Olsen said.

There will be space for fellowshipevents, outreach ministries, and recreation.

Plans call for a community park thatwould serve as a place not only for thechurch’s congregation, but also would beavailable for neighborhood use.

The building project’s theme is“Reaching Beyond Ourselves,” which re-flects the desire to extend God’s lovebeyond the church walls and to make a dif-ference in the local community, Olsen said.

The project is expected to cost about$1.2 million, in addition to the $430,000 thechurch already paid to secure the land.

The congregation currently meets atWesley Chapel Elementary School, 30243Wells Road, so its new home will be close by.

Its worship service includes traditionaland contemporary Christian music, aBiblical message, and an interactive chil-dren’s program it calls “Grace Harbor” forchildren, from 3 months old to age 11.

Finding the site for the church was nosimple feat, said Olsen, who has led GraceCommunity since its inception in April2006.

Grace Community initially met at Kids RKids preschool in Meadow Pointe, thenmoved to Wiregrass Ranch High School andnow meets at Wesley Chapel Elementary.

“The hardest thing in a growing area, be-lieve it or not, is finding places to meet,”Olsen said. “We asked 25 different places ifwe could meet,” he said, including restau-

rants, clubhouses and schools.Although meeting in a temporary space

has served the church, there was a desire tofind a permanent home.

“Portable church — you know, settingup, taking down — is a great way to con-nect with people. You focus on ministry,outreach, community, in the early years. Butover time, it creates some fatigue and somelimits for growth,” Olsen said.

“So, we felt in order to set up somethingthat was healthy and fruitful for the future,

that we would look for a property.“Boy, was that hard,” Olsen said.The church began by praying for a new

place to call home.“We virtually canvassed every available

plot,” the pastor said. “We had a 20-pointchecklist.

“This is what we want.: Ingress andegress. All utilities. No flood zones. High anddry. Clear and ready to build.

“This was the only one (site). We hadlooked for years and never found even five

good acres on a paved road in Wesley Chapel.“We held a prayer tour, where we went

and prayed at various locations within thecommunity, asking God, if he wanted ourministry to focus in a particular area that wewould find a location.

“We prayed for property near the PHSC(Pasco-Hernando State College PorterCampus at Wiregrass Ranch) property, ifGod wanted us to do college ministry.

“We prayed for property in MeadowPointe, if God wanted us to do residential.We prayed for property on (State Road) 54,where there would be kind of the business(focus). I was involved in the chamber ofcommerce.

“And then we prayed for property up inthe Wells Road and Boyette, where therewere schools and a park,” Olsen said.

“That was the door that God opened. Weprayed over a broad group of properties,and it was where we were meant to be,”Olsen said.

“We prayed. God provided a contract. Weneed to get it in cash. On our last day, we re-ceived $41,000, on the last day before wehad to opt out,” Olsen said.

The building committee has cleared oldagricultural fences and made the propertyusable.

“We’ve had prayer meetings. We’ve hadsome sports activities out there,” Olsen said.

The church hopes to raise $850,000 byJan. 6, which is Epiphany, in order to havethe first phase of the church ready for useby next fall.

“If we don’t have the money, we wait. Ifwe have the money, we move forward.

“God is preparing a place for us, and he’salso preparing us for the place,” Olsen said.

Yoga sessions for babies and adultsBy B.C. [email protected]

The sessions that Eric and Erin Wheelerlead at the New Tampa Regional Library areaimed at creating a safe space where chil-dren and adults can interact, and learntechniques to promote good health.

The couple, who operates Lucky CatYoga, based in Seminole Heights, leads yogasessions throughout Tampa Bay.

At the New Tampa library branch, theylead a half-hour class, once a month.

The class includes baby massage, songsand dance, stretching exercises and otheractivities.

“It’s all about creating community,” ErinWheeler said. “It’s about allowing a safespace for the caregivers to go to be able tomeet other people with children aroundthe same age.

“It’s the same opportunity for the chil-dren — to meet and socialize,” she said.

And, both children and adults get a

chance to learn from each other, sheadded.

It’s not a typical yoga class.“We do song and dance, movement,”

Wheeler said.Most classes attract a mix of people.

Some have been there before, while othersare new to the class.

The class is paid for by The Friends ofthe New Tampa Regional Library, and is of-fered for free to participants.

The class offers children a chance to dosomething interactive and healthy, Wheelersaid.

“It puts them on a track — that a lot ofus didn’t have as children — for optimumhealth and wellness, through this kind of ho-listic art,” she said.

Wheeler said the class also is presentedat the Lutz Branch Library once a month.

To find out when the next class will beat the New Tampa and Lutz libraries, visitthe Tampa-Hillsborough County PublicLibrary system’s website at THPL.org.

STEVEN C. HOLLINGSHEAD/PHOTOSMonika Begdour and her 3½-month-old, Idris, of New Tampa, use the stretch pose as a babymassage.

A group of 26 adults and children do a morning stretch at the beginning of the session. Erinand Eric Wheeler lead the Parent, Baby and Yoga class. Despite its name, the class is intend-ed for babies and their caregivers, whether they are parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles orothers, Erin Wheeler said.

Speakers present their wish list to lawmakersBy Kathy [email protected]

Speaker after speaker steppedup to the podium to presenttheir request to Pasco County’sstate lawmakers.

They wanted funding to helpa nonprofit.

They wanted lawmakers toput in a good word with statehighway officials.

Or, they wanted their backingfor a special cause.

About 100 people gatheredon Sept. 29 in the gymnasium ofSunlake High School in Land O’Lakes for a public forum, hostedby Pasco’s legislative delegation.

State Representatives AmandaMurphy, Richard Corcoran andDanny Burgess, and StateSenators John Legg and WiltonSimpson listened for nearlythree hours, as about 60 repre-sentatives of nonprofits,counties and municipalities,civic groups and individual citi-zens talked about the needs intheir communities.

The forum is an annual tradition heldprior to the annual legislative session, whichis scheduled to convene on Jan. 12, 2016.

Corcoran, a Republican from Land O’Lakes, will hold the powerful position ofSpeaker of the House.

Nearly all of the speakers gave lawmak-ers packets of information detailing specificfunding needs or particular policies theywant the delegation members to support orreject.

Requests covered a broad range of topicsfrom public safety and school construction,to voter registration and smoke-free beachesand parks.

Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco advo-cated for tougher laws to help clamp downon illegal sales of synthetic marijuana.

Current law makes no distinction be-tween the sale of one packet of the illegalsubstance or 1,000 packets, he said.

“We’re not trying to go after the personwith a substance problem,” the sheriff said.“What we’re trying to do is go after the deal-er.”

Nocco also urged lawmakers to addressthe growing problem of terrorist threatsmade via social media including threats to“shoot up” a school or church.

“There is no law in effect where we cango after them,” Nocco said. But he added,“People make statements and words havemeanings.”

Sunlake High School student MykenzieRobertson lobbied for a state law to bansmoking at public beaches and parks.Robertson is active with Tobacco FreePartnership of Pasco County and thestatewide Students Working Against Tobacco(SWAT).

“Parks, to me, are a place for healthyrecreation,” she said.

Robertson also joined with Sunlake HighSchool student Ormond Derrick later to talkabout the problem of substance abuseamong young people.

Pasco County Supervisor of ElectionsBrian Corley asked lawmakers to consideradding veteran’s registration cards and gunpermits to the list of approved identificationfor voters.

Corley also advocated for at least someof a voter’s personal information to beshielded from public records laws.

Now, access is open “to anyone andeveryone,” Corley said. He cited a case of aman in New Hampshire who used PascoCounty voter registration data to contactpeople for business purposes.

A handful of voters de-registered as a re-sult of for-profit businesses accessing theirinformation, Corley said. “That’s sad,” he said.“I think you would agree.”

Protecting data also was on the agendafor Pasco County Clerk and ComptrollerPaula O’Neil who talked about the budgetchallenges in keeping up with technology

to allow access, but also protect publicrecords.

“About 95 percent of civil filings are elec-tronic,” she said. “And that will soon be 100percent.”

Funding issues are facing Pasco County’sschool district as it tries to keep up with theexplosive growth of new subdivisions, saidPasco School Superintendent KurtBrowning.

New residential development, especiallyalong the State Road 54 corridor throughLand O’ Lakes and Wesley Chapel, is pump-ing up school enrollments.

Sunlake High, for instance, was built for1,800 students. But Browning said, “We ex-ceeded that number. There are very fewschools that don’t exceed what they werebuilt for,” Browning said.

Oakstead Elementary School has 1,200students in a school built for 762 students.

“Where do we put these kids?” Browningsaid. “We put them in portables. We cannotbuild schools fast enough.”

He made a pitch for lawmakers to ap-prove a bill that would give local schoolboards the autonomy to increase existingproperty tax millage by half a mill. Boardmembers would need to approve the in-crease by a super-majority or a unanimousvote, he said.

Pasco County’s Government AffairsOfficer Ralph Lair presented lawmakerswith a list of priority projects and issues

for the coming year, including astate loan for widening StateRoad 56.

Another issue is funding forthe Coast to Coast ConnectorTrail, which will link Florida’swest and east coasts from St.Petersburg to Titusville. TheFlorida Department ofTransportation will decide whichof two routes will be built for oneof the trail’s segments. One routegoes through northeast Pasco,while another would bypassPasco.

Pasco officials hope to con-vince the state roads departmentto build both routes and create aloop.

“Just have that one on yourradar,” Lair said.

Other speakers includedTimothy Beard, president of thePasco-Hernando State College.Help for a performing arts centerwas among his funding requests.

Brian Anderson advocated forveterans and discussed his non-profit, Veterans Alternatives,

which provides alternative therapies for vet-erans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorders.

Representatives for Pasco Fine ArtsCouncil, Habitat for Humanity, AMIKidsPasco and the Good Samaritan HealthClinic of Pasco also brought their con-cerns and talked about their programsuccesses.

Peggy Wood of the Florida Federation ofGarden Clubs and Janice Howie of theNature Coast Chapter of Florida NativePlant Society spoke about environmental is-sues.

Howie said her organization supportedAmendment 1, a constitutional amendmentapproved by 75 percent of voters to usereal estate taxes to purchase land for conser-vation. In the last legislature, only a fractionof the anticipated $700 million was budget-ed for land purchases.

“There is an opportunity to do betterthis year,” said Howie who is conservationchairwoman.

Wood asked lawmakers to oppose a billthat would bypass local control and give thestate sole authority to regulate hydraulicfracturing, often called “fracking,” which is acontroversial method of oil drilling.

At least 15 counties in Florida have ap-proved bans on fracking, Wood said.

Texas has passed a bill that bypasseslocal authority, Wood said. “Now Texas hasfracking, whether they (local government)want it or not.”

ANNUAL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCESat., Nov. 7th • 8:00am – 12:30pm

Medical Center of Trinity9330 West SR-54, Trinity

Principal Speakers:Michael Cox, Chr. Charter Advisory Committee

Mike Fasano, Elected Constitutional Offer – Tax CollectorMike Flannagan, Motivational Speaker – Motivating Voluntary Leadership Skills


Igrew up with southerncooks.

My mother hailed fromMaysville, Georgia, and my

father was born in Fort Myers, witha maternal side hailing from thePanhandle.

My father always claimed to be“more southern” than my mother,because he was born farther southof the Mason-Dixon line.

One of the things I observedthrough the years is that muchsouthern cooking doesn’t involveusing a recipe. Instead, it is passeddown, as one cook shows anotherhow to make a dish.

In my family, that’s true of suchthings as collard greens, dumplings,cornbread — and anything that’s fried.

Of course, there’s no such thing asa southern vegetable without includ-ing a ham hock, ham bone or somesalt pork.

Indeed, every part of the hog canfind its way into southern cooking.

My great-grandmother made someof the best “cracklin’ ” (fried pork skin)cornbread you’ve ever tasted, and Icould go on and on with stories aboutour family’s southern culinary delights.

One of my favorite southern mealsincludes collard greens and hamhocks.

I am fortunate to have a neighborwho grows collard greens in his back-yard, and every year we have themandatory New Year’s Day meal ofham, collard greens, rice, black-eyedpeas and stewed tomatoes. The collardgreens and black-eyed peas are forluck and money.

Recipes To RememberSharing the tradition of southern cooking

Sandy Graves, aresident of LandO’ Lakes, isactive in numer-ous communityefforts, includingthe push to bringan outdoor stageto the Land O’LakesCommunity Park.The stage isexpected to bebuilt in 2016.

• 4 pounds collard greens (best if cut fresh fromthe garden)

• 2 precooked smoked ham hocks (a HoneyBaked ham bone is a nice substitute, if cook-ing more collards)

• 2 teaspoons sugar • Salt and pepper, to taste • Water

Rinse your greens several times under coldwater to remove dirt or sand. After cleaning thegreens, remove the leaf from the stem in strips— using your hands or kitchen scissors.

Place collards in Dutch oven and cover withwater. Add sugar.

If all of the greens do not fit, just add moregreens, as they boil down.

Place ham hocks on top and heat water toboiling, and then reduce to simmer.

Cover greens and continue to simmer forabout 1 hour, until greens are tender.

Stir your greens often, and keep sufficientwater level, so all the collards simmer.

About halfway through cooking, add saltand pepper to taste.

Serve with ham, rice and black-eyed peasand cornbread.

Special to The Laker/Lutz News

There could not be a better name thenNew Leaf ChiropracticWellness Center for Dr.Michael Pease.

After 20 years in thetelecommunications busi-ness, Dr. Pease was lookingfor a career change thatwould get him out frombehind a computer tomore face-to-face interac-tion with people.

Although he lived ahealthy lifestyle, eatingmostly healthy foods andexercising regularly, beingat a desk all day longresulted in frequent headaches, neck painand insomnia.

“I liked my job, but didn’t like how itmade me feel,” said Dr. Pease, whoworked for Alltel Communications in itscellular division for many years. “I wasonly in my mid-30s, but already had pre-hypertension and didn’t have the energyI should for someone who was so healthconscious.”

And then seven years ago, he had an“aha moment” that changed his life forev-er.

“I happened to meet a chiropractor ata health screening event,” said Dr. Pease.“I told the doctor about my medical prob-lems, and he said he could help. After justthree months under his care, I saw a 180-degree improvement in my health.”

As Dr. Pease tells the story, hedescribes it as an awakening — a callingthat took his life in a completely newdirection.

“It was almost as if the clouds partedand I knew what I was meant to do — tohelp people get well, just as I had been

helped,” he explains.With this insight, Dr.

Pease quit his job andturned over a “new leaf,”enrolling in PalmerCollege of Chiropractic inPort Orange.

“That was back in2008. I have never lookedback and never doubtedthat I made the right deci-sion,” said Dr. Pease.

After graduating as achiropractic physician, Dr.Pease moved to Tampa tobe closer to his two

teenage children and started his ownpractice in a shared facility on BearssAvenue.

In August of this year, he moved toLutz to a professional center on StateRoad 54, located just east of the newLowe’s store.

“Our name is apropos for myself as wellas our patients, because they too are oftenturning over a ‘new leaf’ to get healthyand stay fit,” said Dr. Pease.

“I believe everyone can benefit fromchiropractic treatments. I give every oneof my patients 100 percent of my focusand energy. I strive to maintain goodcommunication with patients, and amalways open.”

Dr. Pease is currently offering specialpromotional discounts on initial examsfor new patients, as well as discount cashpayment options. He strives to keep hisrates affordable and offers flexible pay-ment plans.

Force studying the roadway east of U.S. 41,and the West Task Force studying the road-way west of U.S. 41.

By February, the goal is to have about ahalf-dozen recommendations for highwayand transit options, or a combination ofboth, to present to the MPO. Options thatwill be scrutinized include express lanes forbuses and general traffic, light rail, bus rapidtransit, toll roads and elevated lanes.

The MPO board then can choose a morein-depth study of the selected alternativesbefore adopting one that would be vetted ata public hearing.

If that wins final approval, Pasco Countyofficials and the Florida Department ofTransportation would add the project to thecounty’s long-range transportation visionand seek funding over the next 20 years.

“We want to give it force. We want togive it importance,” said Edwards. “It’s an op-portunity to do something, and it’s also acostly issue.”

Consultants with Tindale Oliver will helpguide the task forces.

The initial meeting outlined duties andexpectations of task force members, andoverviews of past studies done on StateRoad 54 and State Road 56. Members select-ed Sandy Graves of the Central PascoChamber of Commerce as the group’s chair-woman. Former Zephyrhills Mayor CliffMcDuffie is vice-chairman.

Graves hopes attention will be given tofixing the intersection of State Road 54 andU.S. 41.

“Historically, this has always been a traf-fic nightmare,” she said. “This is a 2040(plan), but they’ve got to do something in2016. So, I’m hoping something will comeout of this to fix that.”

That intersection is one of seven alreadyidentified by MPO as “hot spots,” but not somuch for congestion. The others are LittleRoad, Gunn Highway, Suncoast Parkway,Collier Parkway, Interstate 75 and Bruce B.Downs Boulevard.

“The main issue today is not necessarilythrough traffic, but turns,” said Ali Atefi, anMPO transportation planner.

The next meeting for the East Task Forceis Dec. 3. The West Task Force kicked off itsworkshops on Sept. 29, after publicationdeadline for The Laker/Lutz News. It willmeet again on Dec. 1.

According to MPO data, populationgrowth and new jobs will be driving forcesin the county’s future transportation needs.

The county’s population from 2010 to2040 is projected to double from more than450,000 residents to more than 905,000 res-idents. Jobs will triple from more than125,000 to nearly 375,000 by 2040, the

study found.Development along the State Road 54

and State Road 56 corridor will account forabout 30 percent of the county’s total in-crease in residents, and about 31 percent ofits jobs.

Empty-nesters and the millennial genera-tion are among those who will populate thecounty over the next 20 years.

Despite the age gap of these groups, theyboth want many of the same amenities such asshops, restaurants and safe, walkable commu-nities, said Matt Armstrong, Pasco’s executiveplanner for the Long Range Planning Group.

“The patterns of what we think weneed…we have to make those choicesnow,” he said. “We have to figure out whatpieces of TOD (transit-oriented develop-ment) do we think we can accommodatenow so, when the time comes, we’re readyfor it. We can’t go back and change patternsof development at that point.”

lack access to grocery stores, farmers’ mar-kets or places where fresh, healthy foodchoices are available.

Lester Cypher, chief executive officer ofThe Volunteer Way, provided the councilmembers with a map locating 10 fooddeserts in Pasco. He founded his nonprofitfood bank more than 20 years ago.

“We’re looking for areas to expand (fooddelivery),” Cypher said. He has had discus-sions with Publix representatives aboutpurchasing boxes of food that the grocerystore chain could deliver for distribution.

Another possibility would be mobilefood pantry trucks if county regulations al-lowed that, he said.

Farmer’s markets also are likely to get at-tention.

Trina Messano, marketing director forM.O.M’s Friday Night Market in New PortRichey, told council members about the ob-stacles people face when trying to getpermits to have farmer’s markets.

The county doesn’t have a category forthem, and they can end up classified as fleamarkets.

“We need more clear guidelines,”Messano said. “There are no real guidelinesfor what they need to do.”

And if that was the extent of her athleticaccomplishments, it would be an admirablebody of work.

But it isn’t.Quimby also is an integral part of the

USA Women’s Sledge Hockey Team, defend-ing champions of both the World Cup and,with Quimby’s help, the WorldChampionships. They’ll also compete at the2018 Winter Paralympics in 2018.

In just a short time, she’s become a mem-ber of the world’s top women’s sledgehockey team, and was part of the champi-onship team that beat Canada earlier thisyear.

Being part of the USA team and partici-pating in their success has been a highlightfor Quimby.

“When you’re on that ice, and they’replaying the national anthem, you’re like ‘Ohmy goodness, I’m representing my country.My country.’ That is such an incredible mo-ment. I will never forget that,” she said.

There are also other things she’ll neverforget. Like spending 20 minutes trying toget into a pair of jeans after her accident.Like losing a close friend because theycouldn’t handle the extra attention and chal-lenges that become commonplace forpeople with disabilities. And, like battlingmoments of depression and anger as her lifetook a path she never expected.

“There was a real dark time that I hadthat, even though all of these amazingthings were going on, it was hard for me toget out of bed in the morning. It was hardfor me to get to the gym,” Quimby said.“Being in a wheelchair is not for the weak.It’s definitely for the strong.”

Others with disabilities can show that

strength, Quimby said, if they find some-thing they enjoy and put their energiestoward it.

“I really think the big thing that pulls me

out of (negative moods) is to find some-thing that you love. Find something that youcan get excited about,” she said.

For Quimby, it’s athletics. But, it could be

photography, making bracelets or anythingthat interests someone. Regardless of theirchallenge or disability, if they can find some-thing and throw themselves into it withinterest and passion, it can enhance the en-joyment they get out of life.

Quimby has found more paths that inter-est her, and more goals she wants to pursue.She’s in the process of writing a book andhas begun motivational speaking as well.

But, sledge hockey takes up a lot of hertime, and that includes fundraising. Hersport is still growing (the USA team donatesequipment to teams in other countries tohelp them get going) and they have to raisea lot of money for ice time, travel and otherexpenses that aren’t covered. Quimby sellslicense plates and accepts donations on herwebsite.

She also makes time to appreciate thepositive things she has in her life. She has asupportive family and boyfriend, and tries tobe grateful for the simple pleasures in life.One day it might be the Florida sunshine,and another it might be the cappuccino atone of her favorite spots, Le Macaron at TheShops at Wiregrass.

And, although her days are still filledwith challenges, she meets them with thesame outlook that helped her after her acci-dent, helped her obtain her degrees, helpedher earn a pageant title and helps her onthe ice in international competition.

“I feel like I’ve had some bumps andbruises, and some easy times and some hardtimes. But, I feel like things fall into place ifyou let them,” Quimby said. “If you put inthe work, if you put in the action, your pathwill be in front of you. And you just have toaccept it and be open to it.”

When Academy at theLakes volleyball coach BrianGonzales came to the schoolfour years ago, he had neversuffered a losing seasoncoaching at any school orclub level.

The Wildcats, on the otherhand, never had much suc-cess on the court.

Something had to give.Unfortunately, it was the

coach’s winning streak.“I don’t like having losing

seasons,” Gonzales said, re-calling the taste of defeat.

But that’s exactly whathappened for the first fewyears of his tenure.

Still, he tends to take alonger view.

Gonzales knew he had arebuilding project on hishands, so he put in youngerplayers and let them growinto their roles.

Eighth-graders were facing high schoolseniors, and they lost matches.

Athletes who didn’t fully understand thegame faced off against experienced teamswith plenty of club-level experience, andthey lost more matches.

But Gonzales knew that over time, the ef-fort would yield good results.

In 2015, it’s paying off in a big way.Academy at the Lakes won its first seven

matches this season — without dropping asingle set — and compiled a 16-3 recordthrough September.

Now, the team is winding up its winningseason (and best in school history) and willenter the 2A-8 district tournament later thismonth with the regionals in its sights.

The Wildcats are heavy favorites to reach

the district final, which means the teamwould advance to the regional playoffs as ei-ther the top or second seed.

For Gonzales, it’s been a long road sincethose first matches with players who barelyknew their roles on the court.

“I got here, and I was talking volleyballwith my girls, and it’s like I was speakingChinese to them. They didn’t have a cluewhat I was saying. So we had to go back tostep one and build it from there,” he said.

Over time, his players learned both a pas-sion for, and intelligence about, the game,and those characteristics are showing up intheir play.

Seven of the team’s 10 girls now playclub volleyball, meaning they’re immersedin the game nearly year-round. And withGonzales’ aggressive style, they’re not afraid

to take chances and make mistakes.Gonzales wants them to be aggressive

and to play with intensity, and to learn fromtheir mistakes.

“I don’t dwell on mistakes,” Gonzalessaid. “An aggressive error, in my mind, is fineas long as they don’t keep making the sameone over and over.”

Aside from Tampa Bay HEAT, a team com-prised of home-schooled athletes, Academyat the Lakes has torn through their districtopponents, often limiting them to less than10 points in each set.

The HEAT has defeated the Wildcats andis the team’s main competition in the dis-trict right now.

Gonzales has gone out of his way toschedule challenging competition for the in-dependent private school, such as matches

against traditional public schools like WesleyChapel High School and Pasco High School.

The academy won both of those matches.The improvement is gaining attention.When Gonzales first started, they might

have 15 people in the stands for theirgames, and those were mostly parents. Nowthat the team is winning, word is gettingaround the academy, and students want tosee them play. Their Sept. 24 match againstthe HEAT drew nearly 200 fans, Gonzalessaid.

Since nobody outside the HEAT in theirdistrict has captured a set against them,much less a match, a trip to the playoffslooks very probable. But this isn’t a one-yearpayoff for the coach’s hard work. He’s al-ready building for the future in a way thatmakes future losing seasons seem unlikely.The core of his team are just sophomores,which means they’ll be even more experi-enced and seasoned players in the comingyears. The school now has a junior varsityvolleyball program as well, and many ofthose players also participate in club volley-ball.

However things turn out this season(Gonzales sees the potential to make somenoise in the regional tournament if they getthere), he’s happy to see the program blos-som from a struggling team to a successfulgroup of motivated, talented players.

“They’re still young kids, but they don’tplay like it,” Gonzales said. “They play likeseasoned veteran players, and that’s exactlywhat I was hoping for.”

If Woodland Elementaryteacher Bobbi Starlinghad it her way, everychild would have ac-cess to the kinds of

technology her students use.“The technology in my room

does not represent what isschool-wide. The other class-rooms have one iPad for thewhole classroom,” said Starling,who earlier this year was namedone of 100 teachers nationwideas a PBS Digital Innovator.

Woodland Elementary, whichhas an enrollment of roughly1,000, is a Title 1 school, meaningthat it serves children living in anarea with high rates of poverty.

“The PTAs in communitieswith higher socioeconomics pro-vide the equipment the schoolscan’t provide,” said Starling, whohas been able to equip her class-room by securing grants.

She believes technology levelsthe playing field in education.

“I think it’s the great equalizer.They (students) get to experi-ence a lot of things they normallywould not have access to,”Starling said.

“We do virtual field trips,” said Starling,who also was selected by PBS as one of thenation’s 30 lead digital innovators.

Starling incorporates digital tools inevery aspect of her teaching.

In science, for instance, the students useelectronic notebooks as well as traditionalnotebooks.

Her lessons combine instruction fromStarling, as well as information from videosthat play on each student’s computer.

Children wear ear pods, as they listen tothe videos to gather needed information toanswer questions.

And, as they work through the lesson,students record what they’re learning intheir science notebooks.

They cut and paste the old-fashionedway, using scissors to trim worksheets andglue sticks to paste them into their note-books.

They move with ease, from traditional todigital.

Technology gives children access to amuch broader frame of reference than tradi-tional textbooks.

And, when there’s a glitch or a question,Starling is right there to help.

Besides engaging the students in theclassroom at her Zephyrhills school, Starlingalso spends considerable time before andafter school preparing to deliver instruction.

“I try to make it personalized for thekids. I try to figure out what they’re missing

Teacher says technology is ‘great equalizer’

and then try to fill those gaps. They’re kindof like Swiss cheese, and I’m trying to fill theholes — and the holes are not the same forevery kid in every subject. They are all sodifferent.

“So, to really try to pinpoint what theyneed and then get something (to fill thegap), takes a long time,” Starling said.

She customizes instruction. Some chil-dren may be reading for one purpose, whileothers are reading for another.

“It depends upon what their goal is, andwhat they are working on at the time andwhat they need,” Starling said.

Besides obtaining grants, Starling’s class-room is involved in a district pilot of anengineering program called “Project Leadthe Way.”

Her selection as a lead digital innovatorby PBS enabled her to attend an all-expensepaid summit in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,where she enjoyed luxurious accommoda-tions and great food, while enhancing herdigital know-how.

She also had the opportunity to attendsome sessions at the International Societyfor Technology in Education conference.And, she has access to premium contentfrom PBS.

For “Project Lead the Way,” Starling wentdown to Florida Gulf Coast University,where she spent a week in the dorms,again, adding to her tech savvy.

Starling is obviously passionate about

her work.Her interest in becoming a teacher dates

back to when she was just age 5.“I had a teacher that I fell in love with in

kindergarten,” she said. “Ijust loved being there.”

She believes that new ed-ucational standards,commonly referred to asCommon Core, benefit bothstudents and teachers.

“I think that it definitelyhelps them (students) to be-come college ready, and Iactually think that it reallyfocuses the instruction (forteachers),” Starling said.

Teachers can look at thestandards children are ex-pected to achieve and planhow they are going to getthem there, she said.

The culture at WoodlandElementary promotes a col-lege education for everychild.

“They go to a differentcollege campus every year,from the time they are inkindergarten,” Starling said.“For a lot of the kids atWoodland, they might bethe first kid in their familyto get to college.”

And, while the teacherbelieves that new educationstandards are beneficial, shealso realizes that the transi-tion may not be easy.

Children beginningkindergarten with the newstandards in place will have

an easier time than fifth-graders who are fac-ing new expectations, she said.

For older students, she said, “not only doyou have to teach that year of standards, butyou have to go back and fill in, and makesure that they’ve got the standards that theymissed before it became Common Core,”Starling said.

Starling applauds the idea of adding stan-dards for speaking, listening andtechnology.

“Most of the jobs that these kids will becompeting for have not even been inventedyet. I definitely think that they need the 21stcentury learning skills. Collaboration isgoing to be big. They’re going to have to bepretty techie,” Starling said.

As a teacher, Starling hopes her studentswill realize “that learning is fun — and thatthey should be lifelong learners, that everyday they should be learning somethingnew.”

She also hopes parents understand thatthey can turn to her if they need help insupporting their child’s education.

“Sometimes, I’m not sure that they’reaware of what’s available, or what’s outthere, or how to help them (their children).

“I guess my message to them would be ifthey needed anything, whether it was re-sources, information or just extra time, that Icould meet with parents and kids one-on-one,” Starling said.

While teachers do not command thekind of salary often enjoyed by those inother professions, Starling has not beentempted to leave teaching.

“The pay is there for me. It’s not mone-tary pay – but the pay you get in changinglives, making kids realize if they can dreamit, they can do it.

“I am excited every day,” Starling said.

Bryce Beson and Bobby Hilton listen to a video through their ear pods during a scienceclass in Bobbi Starling’s class at Woodland Elementary. Starling wishes all children had thesame kind of access to technology as the students in her classroom have.

Bobbi Starling is constantly walking around her room, observing the work that her students are doing andquickly addressing any technical glitches they encounter or questions they have.
