New charter school won’t open until 2017

May 11, 2016 By Kevin Weiss

Several families in the Lutz and Land O’ Lakes area were anticipating Sunlake Academy of Math and Science to open in time for the 2016-2017 school year, but that isn’t going to happen.

Instead, the public charter school, which is being built at 18711 North Dale Mabry Highway in Lutz, is set to open in August 2017.

This is a prototype of what Sunlake Academy will look like once it’s complete. The 40,000-square-foot facility expects to accommodate 1,150 students, from kindergarten through eighth grade.

The school, operated by Charter School Associates (CSA), scheduled a Parent Information Session on April 11, expecting to open for the 2016-2017 school year. But on April 27, Michael Strader, president of Charter School Associates, addressed a letter to parents and guardians, saying, “the opening of Sunlake Academy of Math and Science will be deferred to August 2017.”

He explained the delay this way: “Although the property developer and general contractor were originally confident that our new school would be ready for the Aug. 10 opening date, we recently learned that delays in the receipt of various building and site permits will push the completion of the school past that date.”

In an interview with the Laker/Lutz News, Strader indicated his group tried finding a temporary facility to hold classes until construction was complete, but to no avail.

“We couldn’t find an existing facility nearby that would be within a reasonable commute—like people who live close to where the school is planned—that would accommodate the number of students that made applications,” Strader said. “We really…examined a number of options, including area churches. We looked to see if there were any hotels with large conference facilities or meeting facilities in the immediate area, and there just seemed to be none available that we could schedule for several weeks.”

Several parents suggested the possibility of utilizing portable classroom buildings in the short-term. However, Strader noted portable classrooms weren’t really a feasible option, either.

“The only thing with portables is they require many of the same infrastructure that a permanent building would require with utility connections, hard roads for life safety vehicles — fire trucks, ambulances — so portable classrooms aren’t as simple as just bringing them in and setting them up,” Strader said.

Sunlake Academy was originally proposed to be located on an 8.4-acre piece of land at the southwest corner of Lutz Lake Fern Road and Sunlake Boulevard. However, those plans changed after objections from nearby residents and numerous conditions attached to the county’s approval for the site.

Changing locations and obtaining site permits for the North Dale Mabry location has been an ongoing process, Strader acknowledged.

“I understand that (the North Dale Mabry) area is going through a whole new floodplain recalculation by the Southwest Florida Water Management District, so that had some kind of impacts on it, and we were just later than anticipated in receiving all the site permits, and that’s what ultimately put the project behind,” the CSA president said.

Once open, the 40,000-square-foot, two-story charter will be large enough to accommodate about 1,150 students, from kindergarten through eighth grade. The charter, which will be tax-funded and tuition-free, is expected to pull students from within a 5-mile radius of the school’s location, which is about a half-mile north of Exciting Idlewild Boulevard.

It will have a focus on STEM curriculum, which stands for science, technology, engineering and math. It also will offer an interdisciplinary approach to learning, in which lessons will emphasize the interrelationships between various subjects.

The school’s features will include a library and media center, science laboratories, computer labs, art rooms and an area for outdoor activities.

Despite the school’s deferred opening, Strader said he’s had conversations the school’s developer, Charter School Properties, to ensure construction isn’t delayed even further, “so that prospective parents could certainly see a building there and have confidence that the school will indeed be ready for August 2017.”

According to Strader, the school was expected to be built in two phases, progressively adding more students during each phase. Now with the additional construction time, both phases should be complete for the 2017-2018 school year.

“There was a lot of interest in the school and we had done quite well with interested parents,” he said. “So, if the demand is still there next year, we’ll have the facilities to grow…beyond the initial 600 students that we’d anticipated for this year.”

Weight loss clinic opening in Wesley Chapel

May 11, 2016 By Kevin Weiss

A new weight loss clinic is opening in Wesley Chapel this week.

Bayfront Health Medical Group will open a satellite office at 2718 Windguard Circle, Suite 101 in Wesley Chapel.

The weight loss clinic will allow Bayfront Health Dade City general surgeon Dr. Naga Thatimatla, also known as Dr. Thati, to consult with Wesley Chapel patients, and have one-night stays post-weight loss surgery. The actual surgeries will take place at Bayfront Health Dade City.

Dr. Thati will begin seeing patients on May 13.

He specializes in bariatric surgery, using a technique known as the gastric sleeve, which is a form of laparoscopic (minimal-invasive) surgery removing nearly 80 percent of the stomach.

According to Bayfront Health’s website, the surgery takes out the portion of the stomach that curves outward, called the fundus. Once the fundus is taken out, the remainder of the stomach is closed into a tube shape, resembling a banana. With a much smaller stomach, patients fill up quickly at mealtimes, and ultimately, eat less.

“It makes it easier to lose weight after the surgery,” Dr. Thati said. “People are not struggling to lose weight. They don’t have the hunger, so they don’t have the temptation. A lot of people, when they look at the food, their preferences change.”

The surgeon noted the procedure has quickly become the most popular form of bariatric surgery, due to its simplicity to perform, and its long-term results.

“It has less complications compared to the other procedures like gastric bypass surgery and lap-band surgery. In terms of weight loss, it’s superior compared to the lap-band and comparable to gastric bypass surgery in terms of results,” the surgeon explained, adding it takes him about 40 minutes to perform the procedure.

“Overall, it creates a new life, basically,” he said.

The procedure in essence created a new life for one of his patients, Gail Burkett, a 57-year-old Dade City resident and Bayfront Health employee.

Since entering a six-month weight management program in January 2015 to having the operation in June 2015, Burkett has lost a total of 179 pounds.

“I had never had a ‘full’ feeling, until after I had the surgery. Then I knew what feeling full meant. But I had never had that before,” Burkett said, noting there’s significantly less stress on her knees.

“When I first came to work (at the hospital), I would park as close as I possibly could park to get into the building. Now, I park up on the hill and I walk down every day.”

Not only does Burkett look and feel healthier, but the surgery has also allowed her to discontinue medications for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and Type 2 Diabetes.

Dr. Naga Thatimatla will begin seeing patients at a weight loss clinic in Wesley Chapel on Friday, May 13. The surgeon specializes in sleeve gastrectomy, a form of bariatric weight-loss surgery.

“On average, people lose like 100 pounds four to six months after the procedure,” Dr. Thati said. “The basic aim behind this surgery is to improve the quality of life with this problem of obesity — in terms of medications they take before surgery…and the activity level of what they do.”

The surgery is typically reserved for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or greater — categorized as “morbidly obese.” Patients with a BMI between 35 and 40 may qualify for the surgery if they are associated with chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes.

Nearly 35 percent (or nearly 79 million) of U.S. adults are obese, according to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s more than double the obesity rate in 1980, which hovered around 15 percent.

“Obesity is exponentially increasing, there’s no doubt about it,” Dr. Thati said.

The bariatric surgeon blames the American environment as one of the key factors for the disturbing obesity rates, in particularly, the omnipresence of unhealthy foods combined with stressful, more sedentary lifestyles.

“The food,” he said, “is the main culprit.”

The surgeon currently does not recommend the procedure for adolescents under 18 years old, since their bodies are still developing.

“We don’t have studies to show how they react, how the body changes…so we don’t want to change anything before their body is complete,” he said.

Though the procedure’s complications are minimal compared to other bariatric techniques, there is about a “2 (percent) to 3 percent chance” of developing blood clots or leaks, the surgeon acknowledged.

“Just like any other procedure, the operation has complications, but less compared to the other kinds of procedures,” he said.

These pint-size Olympians were a big hit

May 11, 2016 By Kevin Weiss

The Pee Wee Olympics, at the Land O’ Lakes Recreation Center, was one of those events where everyone seemed to be having fun.

The competition, held on April 30, was geared toward children 5 and under.

Styrofoam weights on the end of a plastic barbell made a fun activity for John Potthast,4. His dad and mom, Paul and Lisa Potthast of Land O’ Lakes looked on as he hoists the weights overhead. John’s twin sister, Kathryn, 4, and brother, Ryan, 7, were present, too. (Fred Bellet/Photos) — Styrofoam weights on the end of a plastic barbell made a fun activity for John Potthast,4.

It gave youngsters who are too young to compete in organized recreational sports a chance to test their skills in 12 Olympic-style events in the gym.

Of course, the events were scaled down to suit the toddlers and preschoolers that took part.

The ‘weightlifting’ station, for example, consisted of two Styrofoam plates attached to a plastic barbell.

Other popular stations included the tricycle race, soccer kicking and mini-hoop shooting.

While some events — such as the ‘fast dash’ race — were timed, they were all done for fun. It wasn’t about who was the best, it was more about being able to finish the course. Kids were allowed to do as many events as they wanted, in no particular order. Those that completed every event at least once were awarded a participation medal, and an opportunity to get their photo taken on the ‘winners’ stage.

Creating a list of events and configuring them to be suitable for such a young age range was a process that took several hours beforehand, according to Mandy Stephens, a recreation leader at the complex.

Eric Schaefer, right, stands near his son, 4-year-old Cole Schaefer, of Land O’ Lakes, as the little boy tries to decide what event he wants to start.

“We were just throwing ideas on what supplies we already have…and adapting it to the events,” she said. “We had to be creative.”

That creativity appealed to many parents and guardians, who expressed their pleasure with the event.

They obviously enjoyed the event’s atmosphere, which centered on positivity and excitement.

Having the activities organized inside the recreation center’s air-conditioned gymnasium was another plus, considering the humid weather outdoors.

“I think it’s really cute,” said Cindy Griffiths, the grandmother of 5-year-old Kent Craighead. “It’s nice for the younger kids to get out, and everything’s made for the kids. When they’re young like this, there’s not a lot (out there), so this was nice.”

Mike Phillips, of Land O’ Lakes, gave the event high marks, too. “It’s really cool, I like the idea,” said Phillips, who brought two children, Kori and Rilynn, to the event.

The recreation center regularly organized an annual Pee Wee Olympics, but stopped a few years ago.

Center leaders decided to restart the event again last year and attracted about 35 participants. This year, it drew 55.

Children line up for their turn on the tricycle course during the Pee Wee Olympics, at the Land O'Lakes Recreation Complex on Collier Parkway. — Children line up for their turn on the tricycle course during the Pee Wee Olympics, at the Land O’Lakes Recreation Complex on Collier Parkway.

“It’s just something for our toddlers, or for the younger kids who aren’t in youth sports yet,” said Cindy Szappan, the complex’s recreation supervisor. “It’s something for them because the parents are always looking for stuff for their younger kids to do.

“Most of our other (activities) starts at (age) 5, (or) 6,” Szappan added. “So, it’s hard because they have active kids, but there’s nothing…sports-wise for them to do.”

With a sizable climb in participation compared to last year, Szappan plans to organize two Pee Wee Olympics events each year — one in the fall and one in the summer. Having two competitions each year will require additional help from about around 15 volunteers, officials said.

This year, several volunteers from Sunlake High School, Weightmann Middle School and the Central Pasco Girl’s Academy helped make the nearly two-hour event run relatively seamlessly.

“It was really organized and it really worked well for the kids,” said Nicole Busha, a Sunlake High junior who volunteered on behalf of the school’s Key Club.

Former Wharton standout back in Tampa Bay

May 11, 2016 By Kevin Weiss

It’s not often a local high school football star is drafted in the NFL.

It’s even less likely for a prep star to be drafted his hometown NFL franchise in the first round of the draft.

But that’s what happened when former Wharton High cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III was picked 11^th overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2016 NFL Draft on April 28.

Hargreaves, who graduated from Wharton High in 2013, still reminisces the three years he spent on the Wildcats’ varsity football team, playing for longtime Wharton head coach, David Mitchell.

“Those were great,” Hargreaves said about his Wharton playing days, during a recorded media conference. “You know, Coach Mitchell’s a great coach. …He taught me how to work hard, he taught me how to be a great player, how to be the best and I’m excited to be back home.”

The opportunity to “be back home” was a dream come true for Hargreaves, who played three collegiate seasons with the Florida Gators before declaring for the NFL Draft.

“It’s surreal. It was the best thing I ever could have asked for,” the two-time All-American said. “It doesn’t get better than to get drafted by your home team. …I’m 40 minutes away from the facilities and it’s great. I can see my mom (Jackie) when I want to now, it’s awesome.”

Hargreaves, the son of Vernon Hargreaves Jr. — a linebackers coach at the University of Arkansas — believes he has the skillset and football acumen to make an immediate impact for the Bucs as a rookie.

“Playing in the SEC (Southeastern Conference) gave me the experience and the opportunity to cover guys of that (NFL) caliber. Seeing them already…gives me a place to start on how I can slow these guys down,” he said.

“I’m very confident in myself, very confident in my abilities.”

Listed at 5-foot-10, some pundits feel Hargreaves lacks the desired height to succeed against taller receivers at the next level.

Jason Licht, Bucs general manager, disagrees with those sentiments.

“There have been a lot of Pro Bowl corners – a lot – that have been his size: 5-10 and a half,” Licht said during the media conference. “Great players come in a lot of different sizes and different packages. We feel that his thickness and his build, he’s a sturdy player, he can press, he can tackle and he’s very quick and athletic and has good ball skills. Vernon is a guy that we feel brings a lot of versatility.”

“I’m just an overall good football player,” Hargreaves said. “Love to play ball, can adapt to any type of defense, any type of receiver. I’ve covered them all. I can play bump-coverage, can play man-coverage. All of that is in my game.”

At Wharton, Hargreaves was widely considered one of, if not, the best high school cornerback in the nation for the 2013 recruiting class. During his time in a Wildcats varsity uniform, Hargreaves racked up 203 tackles and nine interceptions. He was also a standout track athlete, where his long jump (22’ 3.50) ranks second in school history, and his 100-meter dash (11.17 seconds) ranks fifth in school history. His natural athleticism, combined with his on-field football prowess made him a consensus five-star recruit boasting more than 50 college scholarship offers, before he chose the University of Florida.

Though he’s just months removed from his college career and a few years removed from his high school career, Hargreaves isn’t shy about stepping into the NFL spotlight.

“It’s going to be exciting,” he said. “I’m ready to showcase my skills.”

What experts are saying about former Wharton High standout Vernon Hargreaves III:

“He has as many tools and attributes for long-term NFL success as any defensive back in the (2016) draft class: speed, range, aggression, good hands and short-area quickness. If he is able to dial back his more passionate tendencies, avoid thinking too much about contact and focus on his assignment more often, Hargreaves could easily show up as an perennial Pro Bowler and a legit No. 1 shutdown guy.” –Doug Farrar, Sports Illustrated.com

“He’s the best corner maybe I’ve seen in two or three years. Now he’s only 5-foot-10, but he’s thick. Great feet and change of direction. He finds the football in the air.” –Mike Mayock, NFL.com

“Hargreaves is an undersized cornerback who is one of the most instinctive and natural man coverage cornerbacks in the 2016 draft class. …Overall, he has the football intelligence, the movement skills and the willingness in run support to develop into a quality starting cornerback outside the hashes or become one of the better nickelbacks in the NFL.” –Kevin Weidl, ESPN.com

“Hargreaves plays with a decisive reactor to maintain proper positioning and make plays on the ball (38 career passes defended), but his timing and spacing have room for improvement. Although he has only ordinary size, Hargreaves is above average in three main areas for the position: play speed, instincts and competitive toughness.” –Rob Rang, CBSSports.com

“He does it all—tackles, passes defensed. He has the hands to flip the field and create turnovers. But, what I like most about him is his explosion and agility on short routes. He takes away targets…and I think he’s going to be a playmaker because of that in the NFL.” -Matt Miller, BleacherReport.com

Batter up: Seniors welcome in this league

May 11, 2016 By Kevin Weiss

Local senior citizens looking for fun, fitness and friendships don’t have to look much further than the North Tampa Bay Senior Softball League.

Since it’s inception over four years ago by Walt Bockmiller, the league has been growing each year.

The 2015-2016 NTBSS season was dedicated to the late Tom McDonald, a former member of the league. From left to right are Tom Mcdonald Jr., Cindy Rush, Corey Ann and Walt Bockmiller.

The league began with about 20 players, but had more than 90 players when the most recent season ended on April 29.

Men and women of all skills levels are welcome.

But you can’t play in this league unless you are least 60.

Bockmiller, a former longtime parks and recreation official, said it’s ideal for seniors who’ve never played organized softball to get involved with the league.

“All levels play,” Bockmiller said. “They come out, they hit, run, throw and catch, and they’re all placed on a team by a draft.”

While scores are kept during the 7-inning games played at the Land O’ Lakes Recreation Complex, more emphasis is placed on having fun and enjoying the game rather than on winning.

In other words, sportsmanship rules over player excellence and competition.

“They come and get a smile,” Bockmiller said about the league’s players. “They make errors, they hit and they have excitement. They do good, they do bad, but they all have fun.”

Bockmiller noted the league is a great way for local residents to meet new people and develop long-lasting friendships, too.

“That’s the big side benefit, the best thing of it,” said Bockmiller, acknowledging he didn’t know anyone when he moved to Land O’ Lakes in 2009. “The playing gives you the fitness, but the other big benefit is the smiles that they get by…forming relationships.

“Many of these people that have met other people now go on cruises with (each other), or they go out to eat together,” the league organizer added. “It’s the socialization factor.”

Games are typically played Friday mornings between 9 a.m. to noon from September through April, with a winter break between December and January.

The league’s past season was dedicated to the late Tom McDonald, who passed away in July 2015 after suffering a heart attack.

McDonald, a retired police officer who was heavily involved in the league, was described as “gregarious” and someone who “loved to make friends,” Bockmiller said.

McDonald’s death sparked the idea for the league — which recently incorporated as a nonprofit organization— to work toward purchasing a defibrillator to ensure player safety.

Bockmiller noted the league has about “98 percent” of the funding to purchase a defibrillator, which typically costs somewhere between $1,200 to $1,400.

“We’re taking donations to make sure we get the goal accomplished,” he said. “Because of Tom’s passing, we realized we needed that.”

Once purchased, Bockmiller plans to have every league member trained on the device in the case of an on-field emergency, which is especially critical, considering the league has some players who are over age 80.

“I want everybody to know how to operate that thing — not just four people,” Bockmiller said. “Everybody’s got to know. The device is there, so you’ve got to (know how) to use it.”

With the softball season over, Bockmiller is currently creating a growth plan to expand the league, hoping to add more players and more teams.

Meanwhile, he’s organizing indoor pickup basketball, volleyball and Ping-Pong for seniors until next year’s softball registration.

“We are always growing. Each year, we grow,” Bockmiller said.
