Last year, Huntington Ingalls Industriesearned more than $6.8 billion.

Chances are, you’ve never heard of thisVirginia-based company. But you should def-initely be familiar with its products —nuclear-powered aircraft carriers that aremore than 1,000 feet long and weigh100,000 tons — and you may even know itspresident and chief executive officer.

C. Michael Petters has led Huntington

Ingalls since before itwas spun off fromNorthrop Grumman.Petters is a preemi-nent shipbuilder wholearned his skillsthrough the U.S.Naval Academy andthe College of Williamand Mary, but thefoundation of his suc-

cess goes back even further — all the wayto the small German Catholic St. Joseph

community in Pasco County. There, Petters and his siblings worked

hard on the family’s orange groves, but stillremained focused on education and service.So it’s no surprise that not only has Pettersbeen invited to speak at upcoming com-mencement exercises at Saint LeoUniversity, but so has his sister — U.S. ArmyBrig. Gen. Susan Davison.

As the Pasco County school district shiftsto a more rigorous set of educational stan-dards, Superintendent Kurt Browning hasbeen making the rounds to explain thechanges to parents.

During his most recent stop at WiregrassRanch High School — the final of 13 com-munity meetings — Browning told parentsthat the district must change the way teach-ers teach and students learn. He also calledfor greater involvement by parents to helpprepare students for entering school and toreinforce learning at home.

The district’s current performance mustimprove, Browning said, especially since thedistrict is ranked 34th out of the state’s 67districts.

“I’m not the least bit happy with 34,”Browning said.

Society has changed and the districtmust change too to meet its goal of produc-

ing students who are ready for college, ca-reers and life, Browning said.

“We’ve got to make a connection be-tween what’s happening in the real worldand in the classroom,” Browning said.

Along those lines, the district is shiftingto Common Core State Standards and rais-ing the bar on expectations. The standardsdefine what students should know as theyproceed through school in order to gradu-ate from high school fully prepared to entercollege and the work force.

“We’re embracing a new way of teachingand learning,” said Rayann Mitchell, a seniorsupervisor in the division of curriculum, as-sessment and instruction.

The new standards are causing teachersto think differently about the way theyteach, Browning said.

Instead of standing at the front of theclassroom lecturing, teachers are now push-ing for more collaboration between students

COURTESY OF JOE ABELNCanopy piloting, more commonly known as ‘swooping,’ forces skydivers to pick up speed as theyapproach the ground, rather than slow down. Then they have to navigate obstacles, typically overlakes and ponds since water is more forgiving in high-speed impacts than the hard ground.


Jim Drumm likely saw the first cracks inhis tenure as Zephyrhills city manager lastJuly when councilmen Lance Smith and KenBurgess both gave him low marks on theirevaluations of his job performance.

Drumm had communications issues, ac-cording to the evaluations, especially whenit came to city employees and the public asa whole. He wasn’t getting out to meetenough people. The city’s relationship withPasco County was troubled, at best.

Yet Drumm wasn’t worried about hisjob. While he knew there was room for im-provement in his own job performance, he

received high marks from the three othercouncil members. And as far as Drumm wasconcerned, there were nowhere near thefour votes required to remove him, if that’swhat Smith and Burgess were aiming for.

That all changed, however, in March,when Drumm found himself fighting for hisjob — the voices of two councilmen sud-denly gaining the power of the majority.

Despite three legal opinions against him,Drumm maintains his position that no mat-ter what his contract says, the city’s charter— the constitution of the local government— requires four votes to remove him.

The security of that belief encouraged

New skydivingsport swoopsinto Zephyrhillswith nationalsBy Michael [email protected]

It’s quite easily one of the newest sportsout there, and something many people havenever heard of.

For the second straight year, Skydive Cityin Zephyrhills will host the U.S. ParachuteAssociation National SkydivingChampionships of Canopy Piloting May 22-24. And whenever drop zone owner T.K.Hayes shares that with someone outside ofskydiving, he can almost anticipate that firstquestion: What is canopy piloting?

“It’s a fairly new sport that has comearound in the last 10 to 12 years, and it’sgrown into its own discipline of skydiving,”he said.

Simply, skydivers jump from a plane that’sjust 5,000 feet in the air (compared to thenormal 12,000 feet for typical skydiving), andinstead of slowing down before hitting theground, these jumpers actually speed up —some as fast as 90 mph — swooping througha ground-level course that’s exciting for spec-tators, and dangerous for the jumpers.

And Hayes knows all about that danger.He has a spinal fusion to prove it.

“When we built the first swoop pondout here in 2000 or 2001, it wasn’t even asport then,” Hayes said. “It was a windy day,and I got down too low and caught me

Seminar helps business owners understand ObamacareBy B.C. [email protected]

There are supporters and detractors ofthe Affordable Care Act — better known asObamacare — but no matter where youstand on the issue, unless you qualify for asubsidy, you’ll pay higher insurance rates.

That’s what Jason Greif, an insuranceagent with U.S. Health Group, told membersof a health insurance reform class at theSmartStart Dade City incubator April 8.

The insurance agent, who has been inthe industry for eight years, explainedchanges in health care law, talking about thepros and cons of the new requirements, andthe different kinds of insurance coveragethat are available in the health care market-place. Greif also explained the penalty fornot purchasing health insurance, which isnow mandatory, and he talked about therisks that people face when they don’t haveinsurance.

“A lot of people are misinformed,” Greifsaid.

Part of Obamacare took effect on March 23, 2010, he said, noting that’s wheninsurance companies had to begin coveringwhat has been defined as essential healthbenefits.

“There are 10 of them,” Greif said. Theyinclude services ranging from child immu-nizations to maternity care, mammograms tocolonoscopies.

“What do you guys think is going to hap-pen to the rates if the insurance companieshave to cover everybody’s colonoscopy?They go up,” he said. “I actually am forObamacare for a lot of different reasons. Butit has increased the rates.”

Another big change happened on Jan. 1.That’s when insurance companies could nolonger deny coverage.

“No matter what, anybody can get healthinsurance,” Greif said.

That’s good news for people who weredenied coverage before, but it drives up in-surance rates as a result. In the past, peoplewith certain conditions could only get cov-erage as part of a group.

“It’d really be disheartening for me to say,‘There’s nothing I can do. You have diabetes,I can’t get you insurance,’” Greif said.“Nobody could do anything for them,” un-

less they were able to get covered through agroup.

“It’s almost more of a socialistic ap-proach to healthcare. But for people that aresick, for people that get a subsidy, it’s actual-ly an amazing program because thosepeople were not able to get insurance,” Greifsaid.

This year’s open enrollment is over. The

only way to enroll through the marketplaceoutside of the enrollment period is to have alife-changing event such as moving, losinggroup insurance or having a child, Greifsaid.

The next enrollment period begins Nov. 15.

Those who want to get an idea of whattheir rates would be can go to a website,HealthSherpa.com, to get a fairly close esti-mate of what to expect, Greif said.

“This is a great website. The quotes areusually $5 higher or lower. It’s a way youcan get an accurate quote and you don’thave to go on Healthcare.gov and create aprofile and give all of your personal informa-tion out,” he said.

Now, health insurance rates are basedon age, tobacco use and ZIP code, Greifsaid. Eligibility for subsidies is based on in-come.

Still, there are choices in the types of cov-erage and the rates that are attached tothose, he said. Some coverage types allowpeople to choose doctors who are inside oroutside of their network, while others allowpeople to use only doctors within their net-works.

Some of the networks have more doc-tors than others, Greif said. It’s important tofind out exactly what the plan includes.

Greif recommends a plan that allows in-dividuals the most latitude when it comes toselecting which doctors and hospitals willtreat them.

For those who disregard the law and donot get health insurance, the penalty is ei-ther $95 or 1 percent of the individual’smodified gross adjusted income, whicheveris higher, Greif said.

Regardless of where people stand onObamacare, Greif said having coverage is es-sential. Without it, he said, people who haveserious medical emergencies or conditionscan go bankrupt in a matter of days.

The expansion of State Road 56 intoZephyrhills could be key to a major eco-nomic boom for Pasco County, and twocandidates seeking to replace state Rep. WillWeatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, in Tallahasseeagree state-level leadership must be in placeto make sure it happens.

Danny Burgess and Minnie Diaz bothshared their visions for House District 38during a meeting recently of the WesleyChapel Republican Club. The two are seek-ing the Republican nomination to faceDemocrat Beverly Ledbetter in theNovember election, and both flexed theirconservative values in front of the smallcrowd in the training room at Hyundai ofWesley Chapel.

“To have State Road 56 coming all theway to Zephyrhills with our municipal air-port sitting right here, we are going tobenefit so much as a community, as a districtand as an area,” said Burgess, who up untillast Monday was mayor of Zephyrhills. “Thatis such an asset for this area.”

Yet, proposed projects like the private el-evated toll road could disrupt plans to startthat expansion in the next two to threeyears, with the Florida Department ofTransportation likely going to “hold back”until a final decision can be made on thecontroversial 33-mile project.

“All they are looking for is a green lightor red light by the county to see whether ornot they are going to approve it,” Burgesssaid. But for the elevated road itself? “It is notwhat we want.”

Diaz said the developers behind the ele-vated road project, InternationalInfrastructure Partners, have far too manyunanswered questions surrounding themfor her to support the project.

“We need to look, as a county, at other al-ternatives,” she said. “Sure, we want to go all

the way into Zephyrhills so that the east andwest can become more easily accessible. Butthe original plans are just too big. I think wecan probably break it up into smaller piecesand make that work for Pasco County.”

Diaz is a native of California, but has livedin Pasco County for more than a decade aftermaking her career in the U.S. Air Force. Shehas always been excited about the economicpossibilities when it comes to aeronautics,she said, and Pasco County has two airports— Zephyrhills and Tampa North ExecutiveAirport in Lutz — just miles apart that couldbookend a major industrial corridor.

“It would be attractive to those in themanufacturing of aerospace and aviationtechnologies,” Diaz said. “My vision for Pascois to make Pasco so attractive, it would be asecondary hub for these industries, yet notimpact the quality of water and agriculturethat is part of our East Pasco makeup.”

While the state should lead the charge,Diaz says she still supports local govern-

ments having a final say.“My role (in the House) should be in ad-

vocating economic growth,” she said. “Youtell me what you want, and I’ll see that it’sdone on the state level.”

One of the key components of listeningclosely to local city and county govern-ments is that leaders at the state and federallevel have a tendency to paint with a broadbrush, Burgess said.

“What is best for Broward County is notalways best for Pasco County,” he said. “Weneed to absolutely protect our home rule.That is the doctrine that our state has adopt-ed many years ago, and it allows our localgovernments to make their own decisions,to adopt their own charters and adopt theirown ordinances.”

During the forum, Burgess highlightedhis time as both the youngest city council-man in the state (he was first elected inZephyrhills when he was 18), and later theyoungest mayor in the city’s history, fresh

out of law school.Diaz acknowledges she has not held

elective office before, but that hasn’tstopped her from trying to make a differ-ence when it comes to making laws. A billshe helped craft was in committee late lastweek, she said, and is designed to providefunding to jails to help train officials on howto provide services to the mentally ill.

“It will not have cost us any money astaxpayers,” Diaz said. “The initiative was writ-ten in such a way that it requires fundingfrom other sources like gambling and lot-tery. It would not create an increase on ourcommunity burden.”

The primary election for House District38 is Aug. 26, with the winner heading tothe general election Nov. 4.

Future of Pasco lives and dies with municipal airports

MICHAEL HINMAN/STAFF PHOTOFormer Zephyrhills mayor Danny Burgess, left, joins Republican challenger Minnie Diaz in apolitical forum at the Wesley Chapel Republican Club hosted by county commission candi-date Mike Moore.

And your mostadmired judge is …

House District 38 candidates DannyBurgess and Minnie Diaz were asked dur-ing a recent Wesley Chapel RepublicanClub forum to identify their favorite U.S.Supreme Court justice.

It’s definitely not Elena Kagan or SoniaSotomayor, two justices appointed byPresident Obama, Diaz said. Instead, shelikes Clarence Thomas.

“He had to go through those (sexualharassment) hearings unfortunately, and Ithink his time is coming up now,” Diaz said.“He needs to step up and confront thecurrent judges and be more vocal andcreate more advocacy for conservatism.”

Burgess, himself a lawyer, says heprefers Antonin Scalia.

“You become fascinated by this man’slegal opinions, the way he words his opin-ions,” Burgess said. “He is really an asset to theSupreme Court, and I just hope that he canstick around for as long as he can muster.”



The results of a recent election in thetown of Saint Leo and a bill making its waythrough the Legislature could be on a colli-sion course that may result in a towncommissioner resigning, a special electionor an appointment to the commission byGov. Rick Scott.

All of these scenarios are possible.It all boils down to the fact that the

town’s commission may soon lack a quo-rum.

The purpose of a quorum is to ensureelected representatives are actually repre-senting the people who elected them bytypically requiring more than half of thoserepresentatives to be present at a meeting.

It’s a concept nearly as old as organizedmeetings themselves, and prevents a leaderfrom having more power than he should.Without a quorum, decisions can’t be made,governing virtually comes to a completehalt, and nothing gets done.

St. Leo’s government requires three of itsfive commissioners to be present to create aquorum.

However, a bill making its way throughTallahassee is expected to pass and once itgets the governor’s signature, three of thosefive St. Leo commissioners will be removedfrom office. Thus, there won’t be a quorumavailable with the remaining two to fix it.

It’s something that could keep attorneysup at night, but not St. Leo town attorneyPatricia Petruff. That’s because she has aplan.

“We’re going to have three commission-ers (from Lake Jovita) as of May, and if oneof them does not resign, we’ll have a littlebit of a pickle on our hands,” Petruff said.

With the Florida House back in sessionthis week, work once again begins on H.B.1401, introduced by Rep. Amanda Murphy,D-New Port Richey, that would remove partof the Lake Jovita subdivision from the St.Leo town limits, and have it join the rest ofthat community in unincorporated PascoCounty.

When there’s a vacancy on the commis-sion, the mayor — with the consent of hisfellow commissioners — can appoint a re-placement. In fact, that happened in 2005when Commissioner John Fantone decidednot to seek re-election, and no one ran to re-place him. Then-mayor James Hallettappointed Bill Hamilton, the son of a formerSt. Leo mayor, to the seat.

That couldn’t happen this time, becausein order for the commission to consent toan appointment, there has to be an actualcommission, which doesn’t exist withoutthe three-member quorum.

The battle to de-annex has been ongoingfor years, especially as Lake Jovita residentshave slowly moved into commission seats.Right now, commissioners James Wells andRobert Inslee as well as Mayor John Gardnerhail from Lake Jovita. Gardner chose not toseek re-election, but Ray Davis defeatedlongtime commissioner Donna DeWitt onApril 8, and with that, kept the Lake Jovita

majority on the com-mission.

Whether H.B.1401 is signed intolaw before the newcommission is seatedin mid-May or after, animmediate de-annexa-tion of St. Leo is goingto leave three empty

seats and a complicated process to fill it. Infact, it could be up to Gov. Rick Scott to ap-point at least one member to thecommission so that they can order a specialelection. But Petruff hopes it doesn’t getthat far.

In fact, there’s an even easier solution: re-sign.

“If we have only two members who arefrom the area impacted by (H.B.) 1401, thenafter the new commission is seated in May,we would only lose two members, and themayor could appoint to fill the spots,”Petruff said.

That would mean some trust on behalfof the Lake Jovita residents on the commis-sion, as the mayor would need to appointsomeone outside that subdivision to fill theseat, giving non-Lake Jovita residents the ma-jority.

The commission has scheduled meetingsalready for April 28 and May 5, dependingon how far H.B. 1401 has moved in theHouse.

“I think the plan is that one of them willresign, but nobody has told me that forsure,” Petruff said. “And none of them havecome up and said that.”

One person who probably won’t hand inhis resignation if this situation continuespast mid-May is Davis, who beat DeWitt byjust four votes to win her seat. Davis toldThe Laker/Lutz News after the election hisgoal was to be insurance in case H.B. 1401failed.

“They call me ‘Plan B,’” he said. “Younever know what’s going to happen.”

Davis himself said he didn’t want tospeculate, but DeWitt feared they couldkeep a move to dissolve the 123-year-oldtown in their back pocket just in case.

Petruff, however, isn’t focused on that.She is expecting H.B. 1401 to clear both theHouse and Senate, and find itself underScott’s pen in the near future. But just incase no one resigns, and there are just twocommissioners in the St. Leo Town Hallonce that happens? Petruff said she wantsthe current commission to give her andTown Clerk Joan Miller the power rightnow to organize and conduct a special elec-tion and get the empty seats filled. The twowould also run the town until a quorumonce again exists.

“We talked a little bit about whether ornot the sitting commission could give direc-tion in the event that this happens,” Petruffsaid, noting no final decision has been madeyet.

But those decisions will have to be madesoon.

“Timing is critical,” she said. “That’s whywe’re watching this very closely.”

It also asks questions about theState Road 54/56 corridor, where an unso-licited bid to build an estimated $2.2 billionelevated toll road has been proposed.

Data from the survey is combined fromits random, scientific National CitizenSurvey, and provides input for prioritizingplanning efforts and budget allocations.

The survey is open online through May31, and can be accessed online atPascoCountyFl.net.

Drumm to move his family to Zephyrhills inthe first place, where he spent $185,000 ona home in Silver Oaks. That was despite stillowning a house he bought for $135,000 atthe height of the housing boom in 2005 inhis former town of High Springs.

“I came here with a commitment,”Drumm told reporters after a special coun-cil meeting last week. “I wanted to do agood job, and apparently I did. The issues arenot very clear, and I’m just surprised. WhatI’m getting is, ‘We don’t want to terminateyou. We just don’t want to renew you.’”

During that same meeting, called to ne-gotiate a severance package for Drumm,only Councilman Kenneth Comptonseemed willing to stand up for the embat-tled city manager. And that had obviouslybecome an unpopular position, especiallyafter Compton watched the one other coun-cil member who agreed with him, JodiWilkeson, lose re-election, most likely be-cause of her support of Drumm.

Wilkeson quietly supported Compton’sefforts last week, except this time from the

audience instead of the dais. “We are looking at numbers, and to me,

the numbers should reflect what has hap-pened over the tenure of the city manager,”Compton said. “When the city managerwalked in here, he walked into a million-dol-lar shortfall in the budget, and within amatter of months, he turned it into a surplus.”

The city at the time was looking at lay-offs to make up the budget shortfall in2011, but instead Drumm filled the city’scontingency funds, not to the $300,000 or$500,000 it once contained, but instead to$1.5 million — and kept it there.

“This is a separation, and it’s not a happything,” Compton said. “Something didn’twork out, but my suggestion is the numbersbe looked at.”

Alan Knight, the former high school foot-ball coach and educator who beat Wilkesonfor his council seat, wasn’t focused on num-bers. Instead, it was the three-year contractDrumm signed in 2011 set to expire May 18.

“Looking back at my experience, when Iwas a school principal and given a two-yearcontract, that was it,” he said. “If I didn’t getrenewed, I didn’t get all these other things.”

Those things Drumm asked for included

20 weeks of severance pay, money for near-ly 400 hours of “comp time” — hoursworked above and beyond a standard workweek without any pay — and for the city tocontinue paying premiums on the health in-surance for an additional five months.

The council balked on the 20 weeks ofseverance last week, offering just 13 instead.Yet, 20 weeks is a standard for city andcounty managers, the maximum set by statelaw, said Lynn Tipton, executive director ofthe Florida City and County ManagementAssociation, the state’s professional organiza-tion for municipal managers like Drumm.

“It is recommended in light of the manycosts a manager incurs in transition,” shesaid. In best-case scenarios, the hiringprocess for a city manager from the time anad is placed for the job to signing the con-tract is four months. But that can sometimesgo six months or even longer.

“However, this is greatly complicated byelection cycles,” Tipton said, adding thatsome municipalities might just hire an inter-im until after the next election.

Drumm said he would likely seek unem-ployment insurance, but $275 a week is afar cry from $1,730 weekly. But he could

have other income opportunities as wellwhile he waits to find a new city managerjob.

“Some managers are fortunate to find in-terim work, teaching and consulting whilethey await the next management position,”Tipton said. “Others take part-time workwhere available.”

The severance package proposed by thecouncil last week would cost the city$54,000, but only a portion of that wouldactually represent cash in Drumm’s pocket.The rest are taxes and other costs the citywould have to pay to part ways with him.

Drumm was expected to step downfrom his position April 25 if he agreed to thelower separation terms offered by the city.However, by the end of the day Friday, hewas still employed by Zephyrhills, and anydevelopments this week occurred after TheLaker went to press.

The council approved the revised sever-ance package 4-1, with Compton voting no.Just before the vote, Drumm did suggestthat the lower payout may not be enough ofan incentive for him to sign any agreementnot to sue the city over the debacle, but thecouncil voted their package in anyway.

knees in the water at 50 to 60 mph. Ibounced out of the pond and landed on myhead, breaking my neck.”

Luckily Hayes wasn’t paralyzed, but hisswooping days are over. Since then, canopypiloting has grown from a hobby to a high-skilled sport where only divers withhundreds if not thousands of jumps to theirname can even think about competing in.It’s basically the NASCAR of skydiving.

“There is definitely a lot less margin forerror, so people who are competing in thisevent are extremely experienced and havetrained specifically for this,” said NancyKoreen, director of sport promotion for theU.S. Parachute Association, based inFredericksburg, Va.

Last year’s national champion, CurtBartholomew, has been in town already get-ting set for the national meet. And evensomeone at his skill level has to workthrough bumps and bruises.

“He was wearing a knee brace and anankle brace, and was using ice packs be-tween jumps,” Hayes said. “They are trueathletes, and they go through a regimen oftraining and physical fitness, because you re-ally have to be at the top of your game tocompete.”

Zephyrhills has successfully bid for theevent the last two years, and the warm re-ception of the near 70 jumpers last year,along with a solid drop zone complete witha pond, has made Skydive City a premierplace for the event. But getting spectators tocome out, however, has not been so easy,and Hayes has made some changes for thisyear’s championship he hopes will be muchfriendlier for those who want to see theswoopers compete.

“We didn’t get the word out much lastyear, and it’s happening during the week, soI know that might affect those numberseven more,” Hayes said. “We didn’t have abudget last year, but we were able to get asmall one this year. So we’ll have new fea-tures, like a color commentator on a soundsystem, to let people know what’s happen-ing. This should make it a little moreexciting, because last year I think too manypeople were in the dark on what’s happen-ing.”

The event is free for spectators, who willget to see bursts of action as multipleswoopers jump from a plane at once.Canopy piloting, Hayes said, is probably theclosest skydiving will ever get to a spectatorsport.

And it’s helped Zephyrhills not onlyreach the national stage, but the global one.Skydive City will be the site of the worldchampionships of canopy piloting inNovember — the first time the UnitedStates has ever hosted it — and that coulddraw more than 120 jumpers and their en-tourages from all over the planet.

“We’re becoming experts in hostingthese things, and I hope we can build a mar-ket for canopy piloting right here,” Hayessaid. “It’s just a cool thing, which you don’teven realize until you come out and see itfor yourself.”

SKYDIVING, from page 1

— it’s 60 years after their father graduatedfrom what was then Saint Leo Prep School.

“My parents were committed,” Petterssaid. “They were committed to the farm andtheir business and to their acquaintancesand all that, but the one thing that they heldout there more than anything else was edu-cation.”

Petters’ grandfather said each personshould strive to learn something new everyday. That prompted a daily question from hisown father, asking what he’d learned.

“If you said ‘nothing,’ that wasn’t a goodanswer,” Petters said. “It didn’t matter to myparents whether it was classroom trainingor not. It was learning, and it wasn’t justwords to them. They went the extra mile tomake sure they could afford to send us toschools.”

Yet, good schools cost money, somethingthe Petters didn’t necessarily have a lot of.So Mike Petters and his siblings would worktheir way through school, and even pausedlong enough to serve their country in themilitary. Petters would end up on the USSGeorge Bancroft, a nuclear-powered subma-rine in the 1980s. And sister Susan Davidsonwould make her career in the military.

Davidson received her commission in1983, but didn’t begin active duty until 1986after a short delay when she had to help re-plant the family orange grove that wasdamaged in a hard freeze.

Davidson served in Operation DesertShield and Operation Desert Storm in the1990s, and later in Operation Iraqi Freedom.Two years ago, she assumed command ofDefense Logistics Agency Distribution. Butthey are not the only Petters children whohave found success.

“The whole gang has been successful,”Petters said. “We even have a rocket scientistand a helicopter pilot in there. And they’veall been successful because they have takenthis never-stop-learning approach, and madeit the drumbeat of their lives.”

Commencement ceremonies are set forMay 3, honoring the portion of Saint Leo’s16,000-student body who have finished thislevel of their education. However, if gradu-ates walk away from anything after Petters’remarks, he hopes that it’s with the under-standing that education never ends.

“Where you’re from is an asset,” Petterssaid. “Everything you have done up to todayprepares you for what you’re going to bedoing tomorrow.”

There’s no doubt about it. Language artsteacher Aimee Nadow is tech-savvy.

On any given day, the Academy at theLakes teacher uses technology to help herstudents enhance their reading, writing andcreativity. On one day, for instance, she’ll setthem loose on AutoCAD computer designsoftware to create the balcony scene from“Romeo and Juliet.” On another day, studentsuse PicMonkey photo editor to design bookcovers for the manuscripts they’re writing.

They’re also frequent users of Pinterestto digitally “pin up” work that they’ve done,and they know how to edit digital clips.

Harnessing technical tools in her classesis all in a day’s work for Nadow, whosemother was a children’s librarian, and her fa-ther ahead of the crowd when it came totechnology.

Nadow has a deep appreciation for thepower of language, and a clear understand-ing of how traditional and modern tools canenliven lessons. She sees the value of beingable to skim information, but also knows theimportance of being able to delve deeplyinto subjects to gain knowledge.

The independent private school whereshe teaches has long understood the qualityof Nadow’s teaching skills, middle divisiondirector John Pitcairn said. And, Academy atthe Lakes is delighted that Nadow has re-ceived national recognition.

The middle division teacher recently wasnamed a 2014 PBS LearningMedia DigitalInnovator. It’s a distinction bestowed to just100 educators nationwide.

As a member of that select group, theLand O’ Lakes woman will take part in ayearlong professional development pro-gram.

She is excited by the prospect of beingable to learn from other educators whoshare her enthusiasm for using technicaltools to enliven instruction. During a re-

cent class, Nadow used a giant touch-screen television to display images and tofoster discussion regarding a Holocaust artproject the students will create.

They have been assigned to demonstratetheir understanding of the book, “Night,” byElie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor. They’llshow the teacher what the book meansthrough an art project of their choosing, andthey’ll describe their artistic intentions in ac-companying text.

Besides preparing students for that as-signment, Nadow also guided them throughsoftware called ETS Criterion that analyzeswriting to identify grammatical and sen-tence structure issues that should beaddressed. As students navigated throughthe program, Nadow moved about the class-room, responding to their questions and

helping them stay on track.She offered extra help outside of class, if

anyone needed it.Nadow clearly is in command of her

technical skills, but she also has an obviousrapport with students. She said she has a se-cret weapon: It’s called respect.

On the first day of classes she tells hermiddle division students that she will treatthem as adults, unless they behave as chil-dren — in which case, they’ll face theconsequences.

“I try to afford them as much dignity aspossible, because I remember situationswhen I was in middle school and I wouldsee a student that would be treated unfairly,or would be embarrassed in front of theclassroom,” Nadow said. “That is absolutelynot the way to teach. You lose so much time

if you’re focused on classroom manage-ment, rather than learning.”

“Seventh and eighth grade is my perfectfit,” she said. “I really enjoy their (students’)sense of humor, their creativity, their willing-ness.”

Nadow also appreciates their trust, andbelieves in using a personal touch with herstudents.

As they file into her classroom, she greetseach student by name and shakes eachhand. As the kids make their way to theirplaces, there’s a low-level rumble as theychat.

The teacher uses a simple routine to set-tle them down. She counts — 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 —and by the time she finishes, students are fo-cused on her.

It’s easy to see that Nadow strives to cre-ate an environment where students areengaged and want to learn. When she posesquestions, they are eager to respond andshare their ideas.

While she obviously is technically com-petent, Nadow also possesses otherimportant skills that equip her to be effec-tive, Pitcairn said.

“It’s her enthusiasm, her positivity, herjoy, her human qualities that are a criticalpart of making her the very valuable teacherthat she is today,” Pitcairn said.

Posters in her classroom reveal thatNadow has high standards, but a kind heart.One sets out the class rules. Of course, it hassuch things as “Always tell the truth. Workhard. Listen to your parents. Keep yourpromises.”

But it also includes these instructions:“Laugh out loud. Be grateful. Use kindwords. Try new things. Dream big.”

Another poster offers this message fromRalph Waldo Emerson: “Be silly. Be honest.Be kind.”

Finally, a sign above the classroom doorproclaims “Carpe diem,” or “seize the day.”

That seems to be Nadow’s motto, andone she wants to pass along to her students.

Teacher uses technology to open new worlds of learning


There’s no up-selling this time aroundwhen people visit the Pasco County TaxCollector’s office.

Mike Fasano is encouraging everyonewho renews their auto tags and registrationto only renew for one year, and ignore theoption to pay two years at once. Otherwise,those looking to pay ahead could pay muchmore than those who take it year-by-year.

“It is imperative that those who decideto renew their auto registration betweennow and the end of August strongly consid-er not renewing for two years,” Fasano saidin a release. “If you do, you will not be eligi-ble to receive the benefits those who renewfor one year starting Sept. 1 will receive.”

Fasano is referring to a bill currently await-ing Gov. Rick Scott’s signature that would

reduce auto tag fees beginning Sept. 1. Themove reverses a budget emergency measurethat had significantly raised fees in 2009 tohelp compensate for budget shortfalls.

The reduction proposal was announcedby Scott last December, and would create anaverage annual savings of $25, according tohis office.

However, one thing the bill does not dois provide any refunds to the more than750,000 motor vehicle owners statewidewho renew their tags in two-year incre-ments, Fasano said.

“The Florida Legislature has excludedthe hundreds of thousands of peoplestatewide who have, thus far, renewed fortwo years,” he said. “That number will onlygrow daily unless we can help Florida vehi-cle owners understand how much moneythey will lose once this bill becomes law.”

Pasco County Schools is teaming up withthe Florida Department of Health to providefree Tdap vaccinations to current sixthgraders at the county’s middle schools onMay 22.

Students entering seventh grade inFlorida must provide proof of the Tdap vac-cination — which stands for tetanus,diphtheria and acellular pertussis — beforethey will be allowed to start school, accord-ing to state health officials.

Parents must sign a permission form be-fore their child can be vaccinated, and mustbe submitted to the school their child at-tends by May 1.

The vaccinations are required becausetetanus, diphtheria and pertussis can bevery serious diseases, according to a factsheet prepared by the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention, and the Tdap vac-cine can provide protection.

Tetanus also is known as lockjaw. It caus-es painful muscle tightening and stiffness,typically all over the body. It can lead totightening of muscles in the head and neck,and make it difficult or impossible for some-one to open his or her mouth, to swallow, oreven to breathe.

It is fatal for about one in five peoplewho are infected, according to the CDC.

Diphtheria can cause a thick coating toform in the back of the throat. It can lead tobreathing problems, paralysis, heart failureand death.

Pertussis also is known as whoopingcough. It causes severe coughing spells,which can cause difficulty breathing, vomit-

ing and sleep disruptions. It can lead toweight loss, incontinence and rib fractures.As many as two in 100 adolescents and fivein 100 adults are hospitalized or have com-plications, which could include pneumoniaor death.

Diphtheria and pertussis are spread fromperson to person through coughing orsneezing, according to the CDC. Tetanus en-ters the body through cuts, scratches orwounds.

Before vaccines, there were as many as200,000 cases of diphtheria and pertussis ayear, and hundreds of cases of tetanus. Sincevaccination began, tetanus and diphtheriahave dropped by about 99 percent, and per-tussis by about 80 percent, the CDC said.

The health department has scheduledwhen the vaccinations will be given at eachof the district’s middle schools.

For additional information, call the healthdepartment at (727) 861-5250, at either ext.268 or ext. 224, or the school district’shealth services office at (727) 774-2360,(813) 794-2360, or (352) 524-2360.

May 22 vaccinationschedule• Long Middle School: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.• Rushe Middle School: 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.• Stewart Middle School: 12:30 p.m. to

Youth ministry uses puppets to spread gospel messageBy B.C. [email protected]

The music is crankedand the kids are clapping,jumping and glidingaround in a second-floorroom in the educationbuilding at Van DykeChurch in Lutz.

They are waving flags,raving poi balls and mak-ing dance moves, as theypractice a routine for a fu-ture performance.

The middle and highschool youths are part ofa group called PfC, whichstands for Puppets forChrist. If the name im-plies some kind of sedatepuppet presentationlaced with staid Bible les-sons, think again.

This group has a grooveon, and the kids are usingmusic and props they created to help share agospel message through performances thatboth they and their audiences enjoy.

Normally, they perform under blacklights, wearing black costumes with mesh orcloth hoods that cover their faces. They useneon puppets, signs and other props to getacross their message.

The ministry has won a fair number ofawards at competitions, and recently wasone of the ministries showcased at the 2014Real Ideas Conference at Van Dyke Church,which attracted about 650 people from 177churches to learn practical ways to enliventheir churches.

At the recent practice, PfC volunteer direc-tor Becky Bonanno recalled that the ministrybegan about 15 years ago, with two littlegreen puppets that came in a curriculum kit,when she used to teach children’s church.

She and her husband used the puppetsin the ministry, and their son Nick laterasked if he could put together a puppetteam.

Initially, it was intended to just put onpuppet shows at the church. But PfC keptgrowing and has evolved into an ongoingministry that now has 21 members, fromvarious middle schools and high schools.

Beyond performing locally, the group hitsthe road once a year on a tour, where theyperform primarily at other churches in theSoutheast, said Sandy Graves, the other co-di-rector. They perform in such places asAtlanta, Savannah, Charleston andJacksonville, but they’ve also been as faraway as Chicago and Washington, D.C.

They also perform locally, generally forvacation Bible schools, inner-city ministries,children’s homes, domestic abuse shelters

and other churches.The troupe meets for an hour and a half

weekly, gathering on Wednesday nights towork on routines and plan out future per-formances. Sometimes they have propparties.

There’s a storage room at the church thatis chock full of puppets of all shapes andsizes. There are huge elephant puppets andstrap-on flamingo puppets. There are allsorts of neon signs and decorations.

“It’s so much fun,” Bonanno said, notingshe had no idea the direction that PfCwould take when it began.

There are stories of parents who did notcome to church, but began attending afterbringing their children to a puppet show,Bonanno said. There are stories of kids whowere on the puppet team that wound upgetting married when they became adults.

Many of PfC’s members are siblings offormer members or were invited by friendsto give it a try.

“My brother was in it, and I startedwatching it when I was in third grade,” saidCody Coates, 17, who was so eager to joinhe persuaded Bonanno to let him join insixth grade.

“It’s a blast,” said the Steinbrenner HighSchool student said. “This is the only thingI’ll cancel my friends for. I’ve missed birth-day parties.

“I like that I can be a Christian while stillhaving fun. You’re spreading God’s word,”Coates added.

If the audience hasn’t heard of them,they’re in for a surprise, he said.

“No one expects to see a fun, black-lightpuppet show,” Coates said.

Emily Keleher, another PfC member, wassurprised the first time she saw a show.

“I thought it was going to be a little pup-pet show, and then I saw it,” the MartinezMiddle School student said.

She enjoys performing, but she thinksthe best part of being involved is hangingout with other members of the group.

Jerry Grimes, 13, who is new to thegroup this year, said he wanted to join afterseeing a performance when he was young.

“I would come to these puppet shows,and I was like, ‘Oh, wow, that’s really fun.’Now, I’m doing it,” said the Walker MiddleMagnet School student.

He gets a kick out of watching childrenreact. “It’s been very fun, just to see thesmiles on kids.”

As they run through their routines atpractice, the kids are clearly enjoying them-selves. They seem to have an easy rapportwith Bonanno and Graves.

As they talk about their upcoming tour,for instance, one kid tosses out an idea: “Wecould do a flash mob on the metro,” he said.

It’s an idea, Bonanno said, that’s worthconsidering.

Penny for Pasco starts a new round offunding in January, using an extra 1 percentsales tax to provide nearly $50 million in ad-ditional annual funding for Pasco Countyprojects over the next decade.

But how should the money be spent? Inthe past, dollars have been dedicated to thePasco County Sheriff’s Office, road construc-tion and maintenance, and purchasing landfor conservation.

This time, however, nearly 10 percent offunds — or $4.5 million — has been ear-marked toward economic development. Andif spent the right way, leaders from the inde-pendent Pasco Economic DevelopmentCouncil say the impact of those funds couldbe tremendous, bringing new commercialparks and maybe even a convention centerto Pasco County.

“It should create jobs and it should growthe economy,” PEDC president and chief ex-ecutive John Hagen recently told PascoCounty commissioners during a workshop.“If it doesn’t do that, then it’s not economicdevelopment. That means attracting busi-nesses that actually bring money into thecommunity.”

Of course, $4.5 million each year mightnot be the best way to accomplish that goal,Hagen said. But $36 million all up front?That can go a long way.

“We think it’s important to use leverage,”he said. “We’d rather get some of that rev-

enue upfront now, so that we can get moreof an impact over the 10-year period, ratherthan wait. We need jobs and we need eco-nomic development now.”

That could mean borrowing up to 80percent of the projected revenue over thenext 10 years, and using revenue from thoseprojects — or simply funds from Penny forPasco itself — to pay it back.

If commissioners were to take that route,the county could take the lead in attractingnew businesses to Pasco, instead of losingthem to neighbors like Hillsborough andPinellas counties. That starts with a businesspark project, assembling land togethersomewhere in the county and earmarkingall of it for commercial use.

It continues with speculation building— helping developers construct

commercial space in hopes it will attracttenants once completed.

And it would be topped off with a con-vention center, possibly built in conjunctionwith a hotel, that could provide even morereasons to bring people into Pasco County.

“We have a very pressing need to devel-op some real estate product, and by that Idon’t mean residential,” Hagen said. “I meanoffice and industrial flex space, somethingwe need to put a significant amount ofmoney into because we’re experiencing theloss of opportunities right now because wedon’t have the product” to offer potential re-locations.

Commissioners appeared receptive tothe concepts, and even saw it as a chance tojump ahead of its neighbors.

“I think Pinellas County’s whole eco-nomic development budget is $1.2 million,and we’ve got such an advantage with thispenny,” Commissioner Kathryn Starkey said.“I am excited. I like the idea of planningahead like this so that we know where weneed to go.”

Although borrowing to support econom-ic development projects would increase thecounty’s current debt, Hagen said it couldactually save Pasco money in the long run.Construction costs will undoubtedly go upbetween now and 2025, and if interest ratesrise, it will cost more just to borrow in thefuture compared to today.

Having the right plan and the money toimplement it has the potential to put Pasco onthe map, county planning and development

administrator Richard Gehring said. Places likeTriangle Park in North Carolina were createdfrom strong planning and the funding to makeit happen. Nothing is stopping Pasco fromlooking to reach similar heights.

“There is not an upper limit for what wecould shoot for,” he said. “The potential forthe access and land position is tremendous.”

Residents work hard to keep their yards in tip-top shape. Honorable men-tions were awarded to homes on Pond Hollow and Moss Hill street as well as Countryside Drive.

By Helene RubensteinGrand Horizons

Grand Horizons hosted its firstAppreciation Day on April 6 with hopefullymore to come.

I wasn’t able to attend because of a pre-vious engagement, but I heard from JoyceBell that all had a great time.

Ken Leone was the emcee of this eventthat had about 85 people in attendance.Along with Ken, the following people wereon the team that worked very hard to getthis appreciation day flowing smoothly:Cheryl Leone, Ron and Joyce Bell, andChuck and Shirley Carlson.

There were several thank you signs inthe community center and there was a bigbanner also with “Thanks” on it. The menuconsisted of a pulled pork sandwich thatCheryl worked very hard on. There alsowere beans that Shirley Carlson, Joyce Belland Sandy Lindke provided.

In addition to the above, they also hadcoleslaw, potato salad, condiments, picklesand cupcakes for dessert. Many pictureswere taken and several discussions oc-curred among the people attending.

About 37 people attended our lunchconnoisseurs April 11 at Buca di BeppoItalian Restaurant in Brandon. Del O’Haraand Andy Gisondi, along with Tom andLaurie Carter hosted it.

They did a marvelous job of reservingthe place and getting there early enough togreet everyone as they entered the room.

Buca di Beppo has many individualrooms and just the right size was set asidefor the people of Grand Horizons. Therestaurant not only had a large and variedmenu, but the atmosphere was super. All thewalls were covered with pictures and infor-mation about the place.

Once a month we have lunch connois-seurs, who try to go to differentrestaurants. This place hit the spot, and wethank the four people who worked on thisgathering. We had a terrific time and lookforward to many more.

Several women went on a luncheon tothe Hacienda Mexican Restaurant on April17. This is a restaurant that is located right inZephyrhills and was hosted by Judi Davis. Iheard from Judi that 11 women attendedthis outing and everyone had a great time.There was a special at the restaurant, andseveral people took advantage of this, plusother items that were presented on themenu.

All in all, everyone had a good time. Welook forward to many other outings wherethe women get together for a good time.

COURTESY OF RON BELLAppreciation Day brought out numerous residents, including from left, Chuck and Shirley Carlson, Joyce and Ron Bell, and Cheryl and Ken Leone.
