Beer and burgers were the stars at this fest

By

The festival-goers came from as close as Land O’ Lakes, and from as far away as Jacksonville, to attend the second annual Pasco County Burger & Beer Festival.

They had a common goal: To sample all sorts of brews and to enjoy burgers at the event held at Land O’ Lakes Heritage Park.

Besides being able to taste a wide selection, they also were able to vote on their favorite beer.

William Rivera, of Zephyrhills, had the perfect shirt for the occasion — it said “This Guy Needs a Beer.” He was there with his wife, Michelle, to enjoy the day.

Sylvia Browe, of Jacksonville, traveled to Land O’ Lakes specifically to attend the festival. She and her friends were having fun dancing in front of the stage, as the music played.

Eighteen-month-old Ayden Cooprider will have to wait until the 20th annual Pasco County Beer & Burger Festival before she’s able to sample the beverages. But the little girl had plenty to see at the festival, accompanied by her mom, Sawyer, and Brett Martinez, of Land O’ Lakes.
Michael Cucuzzo, of Land O’ Lakes, is torn between the dark beer and light beer, but managed to taste one at a time prior to voting for his favorite brew. He was there with Nellie Singh, of Clermont, and Melissa Logan, of Land O’ Lakes.
Gary Woodring, a Lutz resident, chomps into a bacon cheeseburger from the Bacon Boss food truck. Woodring, his wife Denise, his mother-in-law Regina Kersten of Lutz, and friends attended the beer and burgers event. 
Patience was a virtue for those waiting for hamburgers at the second annual Pasco County Beer & Burger Festival, at Land O’ Lakes Heritage Park. Front, 8-year-old Jameson McAuley; his sister, 6-year-old Carrington; and mom and dad, Tom and Tiffany, didn’t mind the wait. Older siblings, 11-year-old Juliet and 13-year-old Braden also waited patiently for the line to move.

It’s Easter season, a popular time for eggs

By

It’s that time of year when eggs take center stage, so it seems timely to talk about both eggs and egg replacements, for those looking to find out more about those.

Here are a few fun facts.

They look similar to eggs, but chickpea flour omelets have more of an earthy flavor. (Courtesy of Shari Bresin)

Shell and yolk color
You probably know that eggshells come in different shades of white and brown, but did you know they also come in different shades of blue?

Also, did you know that the color and size of eggs are determined by the breed of the hen?

Have you ever heard that there is no difference in nutritional quality between eggs with different eggshell colors? Some people incorrectly assume that brown eggs are healthier.

Brown eggs are typically pricier. That’s because the hens that lay them are larger and require more feed.

Yolk color varies, too.

The color is determined by the hen’s feed. If the hen’s diet is heavy in green plants, yellow corn, alfalfa, or other plant material with a yellow-orange hue, the yolk will be a darker yellow-orange.

Hens feeding primarily on wheat and barley will have a pale-yellow yolk. And, hens feeding on cornmeal will produce eggs with yolks having hardly any color at all, according to Food and Nutrition Magazine.

Also, just like the eggshell color, the color of the yolk doesn’t indicate the nutritional value.

Egg replacement
There may be times when you need to find an egg replacement.

Maybe you have special dietary needs, you’re trying to avoid using eggs in a recipe, or you simply ran out of eggs.

Here’s a list of ingredients — compiled by the University of Wyoming Extension — that you can use to substitute for one egg.

If the egg acts as a leavening agent, you can use any one of these bulleted items:

  • ¼ cup carbonated water
  • 2 Tablespoons of water, 1 Tablespoon of oil, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1 Tablespoon vinegar and 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice and 1 teaspoon baking soda

If the egg acts as a binder, try any of these:

  • 3 Tablespoons nut or seed butter
  • 2 Tablespoons mashed potato or sweet potato
  • 2 Tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 Tablespoons start and 3 Tablespoons water
  • 1 Tablespoon soy protein powder and 3 Tablespoons water

If the egg is used for moisture, use any one of these:

  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce or fruit puree
  • ¼ cup mashed banana or avocado
  • ¼ cup buttermilk or milk
  • ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup yogurt

Of course, you need to use substitutes that will complement the dish, such as fruit in baked dishes.

If you’re not sure about the egg’s main role, you can assume the eggs serve all three purposes and you can choose a substitute or a combination of all three.

If the recipe requires three or more eggs, assume that it does all three.

Additionally, there are plant-based egg replacements for breakfast scrambles or for baking.

While regular eggs are considered an affordable source of protein, these egg replacements can be pricey upfront — though they do last longer and yield more servings per container.

Now, for a word on hard boiling eggs
Older eggs make for better hardboiled eggs than fresher, simply because they are easier to peel.

As eggs get older, the egg white shrinks somewhat, creating more air space that makes it easier to peel.

How do you know if an egg is considered older?

Use the float test: place the egg in a clear glass with cold water.

If they float, that means they are older because of that increased air cell from the shrinking egg white.

Note: This is just a test for freshness. It will not tell you if an egg has gone bad.

Eggs are safe three weeks to five weeks after purchase, provided that you bought them before the sell-by date.

Eggs that are at least seven to 10 days old are best for boiling.

Once hard boiled, they should be eaten within one week.

Yolks are a good source for Vitamin D
A large fried egg has a little over 1 microgram (mcg) of Vitamin D, or about 5% of the daily value you need in a day.

On average, adults from ages 19 to 70 need 15 mcg per day; those age 71 and older need 20 mcg per day.

If you’re high risk of a Vitamin D deficiency —such as those on certain medications, older adults, those with darker skin tones, and those who are obese, among others — you may even need more. Check with your doctor.

Vitamin D deficiency is very common in the United States, despite Vitamin D being available through exposure to the sun. About 42% of the American adult population is deficient in Vitamin D.

It’s important to remember that while plant-based eggs are low in cholesterol, there won’t have much, if any, Vitamin D.

Avalon Applauds Sunrise of Pasco County

By

Congratulations to Sunrise of Pasco County (Sunrise), a certified domestic and sexual violence program, for being applauded by Avalon Park Wesley Chapel.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Sunrise hopes to shed light on the fact that sexual violence does exist, and survivors are out there.

“It’s really easy for people to say ‘Oh, this doesn’t happen in my community,’ and we certainly understand that it does,” says Catt Raley, director of Sexual Assault Services.

“Domestic and sexual violence are issues that touch each and everyone’s life, whether it happens to us or someone we know.”

One way the nonprofit is bringing awareness is by raising funds for its month-long event, “Dollars for Denim.”

April 27 is “Denim Day,” an international event to combat victim blaming and educate others about sexual violence. Traditionally, participants donate $5 through their employers and wear denim at work. Sunrise will be raising funds virtually throughout the month via its website (SunrisePasco.org/donation).

“A lot of folks don’t know they experienced, or are experiencing, violence,” says Raley.

“It could be something that unfortunately happened to them across their lifespan, and to them, it’s normal, especially for folks who’ve experienced childhood sexual abuse.”

Raley says the goal of Sunrise is to show these people that these actions aren’t normal.

She suggests people reflect and ask themselves, “Have there been times in my past or current relationships where folks are making me do anything against my will?”

Sunrise stresses the importance of consent, which the nonprofit defines as “active, willing and consistent.” Raley says consent can be revoked at any time.

“If you are actively or being forced to use a substance, that does not equal consent. People who are incapacitated, or asleep, that’s not consent either,” says Raley.

Sunrise offers an emergency, confidential shelter for survivors of intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and/or human trafficking. The shelter has a capacity for 40 women and children, but Sunrise of Pasco County also has services for male survivors.

Sunrise provides free counseling, advocacy, and support services to survivors of domestic and sexual violence, as well as family or friends that have been impacted by violence through its Outreach Program.

For more information on Sunrise of Pasco County, and how to offer support or to donate, go to SunrisePasco.org, or call 352-521-3358. To access its 24-hour confidential hotline, call 352-521-3120.

Some basics, to protect yourself from scams

By

It seems like every time you turn around, someone you know is being scammed, or being targeted as a potential victim.

Here’s a list, compiled by The Better Business Bureau, to help you to avoid being scammed:

  • When someone you have not met asks you to send them money, especially by wire transfer, prepaid debit card or gift card, don’t do it.
  • Never click on links or attachments in unsolicited emails or texts. That’s how crooks put malware on your devices.
  • Don’t trust the legitimacy of something by its looks. Emails and websites are easy to fake with copied logos and graphics.
  • Don’t trust your Caller ID. It can be faked to read any way a crook wants it to read.
  • Buy online only from legitimate sources with a website address that has the “s” in “https.” Look for the lock icon in the address bar as well.
  • Look up any company you’re unfamiliar with at BBB.org.
  • Treat your personal identification information like gold. Don’t give it away to anyone who contacts you out of the blue. Your banking, Social Security and insurance numbers should be closely guarded.
  • Anyone pressuring you to act quickly could be a scammer who doesn’t want you to have time to seriously consider the “offer.”
  • Get details in writing and read them thoroughly.
  • Don’t overshare on social media. Con artists can collect your information from such sources and use it to make you think they know you.
  • Keep your travel plans to yourself and only share them after the fact.
  • Shred junk mail, old documents, bills and medical paperwork.
  • Monitor your accounts and check out any unknown transaction, even for tiny amounts (crooks start with small amounts to see if you pay attention).
  • Use strong passwords and keep software and virus protections updated constantly.

Check out the Better Business Bureau’s articles on phishing scams, tech support scams and Social Security scams.

Scammers never quit, but they can be thwarted by staying on top of the latest tips and news from organizations that monitor them, such as the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission.

Go to BBB.org, to look up online marketplace business profiles, file a complaint, or write a customer review. Visit the BBB Scam Tracker, to research and report scams.

Avoid ransom scams
The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office shares this tip to help people avoid becoming victim of an economic scam that is known as a ransom scam.

In this crime, the scammer will call the victim and claim to be holding a member of the victim’s family captive.

The scammer instructs the victim to transfer ransom money into the scammer’s bank account or the victim’s family member will be harmed.

The scammers use tactics to convince the victim their loved one is a hostage, such as using screams and cries in the call.

In its posting, the Pasco Sheriff’s Office advises those who receive such a call should hang up the phone and then call your relative to verify his or her safety.

Gas-saving tips for boaters

By

Motorists who hit the road aren’t the only ones who have to contend with high gas prices, boaters do, too.

To help boaters make the most of their fuel, the Boat Owners Association of the United States (BoatUs) has compiled some tips, which the organization shared in a news release.

Here’s a condensed list of those suggestions:

  • Tune your engine to get the best efficiency.
  • Match the propeller to the kind of boat you have and how you use it. Ask the pros at the propeller shop for advice and experiment with different models. Be sure to keep your propeller clean and in good repair. Be sure your hull is clean, too.
  • Keep track of your fuel flow. A fuel-flow meter can show you in real time how many gallons your engine is burning per hour, allowing you to dial in the most efficient speed for your boat.
  • Keep in mind that newer engines tend to be slightly more efficient than older models. Options also have increased for electric and hybrid propulsion.
  • Don’t carry extra stuff on your boat. Additional weight means more drag.
  • Lighten your tanks: Don’t run with a full freshwater or fuel tank unless you absolutely need it.
  • Avoid excess idling. Modern engines are fuel injected, so are ready to a minute or two after being started.
  • Distribute the load onboard to help your boat run most efficiently. Be sure your boat is not leaning too far to one side or the other. (You may need to rearrange your passengers.)
  • Remember that most recreational boats run most efficiently when they’re on plane, so once you’re out of the no-wake zone, safely get on plane, as soon as you can.
  • Watch your wake: One sign you’re blowing gas is the size of your wake. While sometimes you have no option, slowing down to no-wake speed saves fuel. It’s a matter of plowing a wall of water rather than efficiently slipping over or through it.
  • Slow down: In addition to conserving on gas, it’s safer.
  • Reduce wind drag: A canvas or bimini top is great for protection from the sun, but you can improve fuel efficiency while underway by taking it down if you can.
  • Navigate smartly: The ultimate trick to saving fuel, of course, is running your engine less. Travel to closer destinations or drop anchor somewhere nearer to home to enjoy your fun afternoon on the water. If possible, take the shorter route and route trips in sync with currents and tide, and try to avoid a lot of banging into head seas.
  • Share your angling outings by “buddy boating.”Head out this weekend by inviting the guy in the slip next to you, and then rotate on the next weekend’s angling outing. This fuel-saving technique is especially popular with anglers who fish canyons far offshore. Of course, this also improves your social aspects of fishing life as well.

Zephyrhills Skatepark comes alive during ‘Grind for Life’

By

Competitors came from as close as a neighborhood nearby to as far away as Hawaii — and from a wide array of places in between — for the Grind for Life Series, a national competition hosted on March 19 at the Zephyrhills Skatepark, 39096 Alston Ave.

Thirteen-year-old Zion Effs makes a jump, as he prepares for the Grind for Life skateboard series on March 19, at the Zephyrhills Skatepark. Effs traveled from Miami to test his skills. The event featured 156 competitors, in various divisions and age classes, demonstrating their abilities in the daylong event. (Fred Bellet)

There were 156 competitors, of all ages and skill levels, including 20 first-time skaters and 17 women, according to statistics provided by the City of Zephyrhills.

Contestants included 10-year-old Samantha Livaditis, of Chicago, who dazzled the judges with a ‘front side air trick.’ She traveled to the competition with her dad, Steve Livaditis.

Twenty-year-old Jesse Yates didn’t travel far at all. He lives in Zephyrhills and was the only Pasco County resident to compete in the tournament.

Anthony Ferraro, of Spring Lake, New Jersey, is a relative newcomer to skateboarding — starting just two years ago. Blind since birth, Ferraro and other competitors with disabilities approach the sport differently. Before the competition began, he and other competitors with sight disabilities familiarized themselves with the placement of jumps, ramps, walls and rails, and distance. Ferraro took fourth place in the men’s adaptive division.

He showed off his skills in a street division jump, flipping his skateboard beneath his feet.

He said he took up the pursuit when the Zephyrhills Skatepark was completed in 2015.

The Grind for Life Series benefits the Grind for Life organization, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that assists cancer patients with travel expenses, according to a news release from the City of Zephyrhills.

The skateboarding competition was founded in 2003, by lifelong skateboarder Mike Rogers, after his second battle with sarcoma cancer. He beat cancer once as a preteen, and again 25 years later. Rogers beat the odds and is a competitive skateboarder again.

The City of Zephyrhills has been a host for a Grind for Life Series leg for several years, with the city’s public works crew members providing cleanup assistance during the course of the event.

The competition includes a men’s and women’s bowl, and street division, as well as an adaptive skateboarding division, for athletes with disabilities.

Registration was $35.

Enjoy Jazz Under the Starz at Avalon Park Wesley Chapel

By

In 2020, COVID-19 created a very difficult time for a lot of business owners like Arlene Brooks, who owns and operates Coffee Speaks n Tea Talks in New Tampa.

Her business closed for a period of time during the pandemic, but eventually was reopened. This was when Brooks realized that she needed to come up with a way to get people back into her parking lot.

“My goal with Jazz Under the Starz was to bring what was inside the coffee shop to the parking lot and create a safe, soulful environment for people to enjoy music and feel like a community again,” said Brooks.

Local artists who play the sax, clarinet, keys, violin and steel drum all came out and played from the heart.

Like most great events, Jazz Under the Starz is defined by those humble beginnings. During the pandemic, social distancing was at the forefront of Brooks’ priorities. Musicians would entertain using the instruments of their choosing to crowds of guests outside of her coffee shop and tea house.

What no one ever could have predicted was the sheer popularity of the event. Now, Brooks is looking toward the future, and helping to deliver the joy that Jazz music brings, to as many people in the community as possible.

With so much growth, Brooks yearned for a permanent home for Jazz Under the Starz. She turned to her local leaders at the North Tampa Bay Chamber of Commerce for assistance. President and CEO Hope Kennedy was instrumental in making the connection Brooks needed to fulfill her future aspirations of a jazz clubhouse.

As it would turn out, Avalon Park Wesley Chapel was a perfect fit.

“It was an instantaneous connection and partnership,” said Brooks.

“We are not just developers — we are building a new town,” said Stephanie Lerret, senior vice president of marketing for Avalon Park Group. “We’re so much more than just another planned community – we’re bringing together everything a family needs to enjoy life today and in the future.”

Avalon Park Wesley Chapel, located on State Road 54 about 3 miles east of Interstate 75, began building its first homes in 2012. Today, 1,000 homes have been completed or are underway, and residents enjoy unique amenities, neighborhood schools, and easy access to Tampa, Lakeland and Orlando.

When Avalon Park reaches its final development, it will offer places to shop and work in its downtown hub. The hub will be connected to its residential neighborhoods by tree-lined streets, walkways and bike paths, making for a picturesque and comfortable community. What better way to introduce the diverse community to new options of artistic entertainment than with the celebration of jazz music and a new jazz clubhouse?

“I want it to be a place where people can come and join together to celebrate the music. Everybody loves music and it helps you forget about the hardships of life,” said Brooks.

Recently, Jazz Under the Starz began their second season at Avalon Park Wesley Chapel that included not only jazz music, but different food trucks, and live artists who were painting at the same time as the concert and selling their work to guests.

“At our most recent concert, we had over 240 people attend,” said Brooks. “The band that played was great and everyone really enjoyed the event.”

Jazz Under the Starz is held every third Saturday of the month with a different band performing at each concert. Eventually, Brooks plans on having jazz musicians from a national level play for the community.

“These types of concerts and events really aren’t going on anywhere else in New Tampa/Wesley Chapel,” said Brooks. “My goal is to push the arts and celebrate all types of creativity as a community.”

The next Jazz Under the Starz concert will be held on April 16, at 33501 State Road 54 in Wesley Chapel, which is located behind Pinecrest Academy on Avalon Park property.

“You can purchase your tickets now on our website,” said Brooks. “Children under 12 are free, and pets are allowed as long as they aren’t aggressive and owners are cleaning up after their furry friends.”

Visitors also can bring their own lawn chairs and coolers to the concert.

Act Now and Take Advantage of Current Pricing at Cornerstone Pros

By

If you’re looking to update your air conditioning and/or water heater, and considering adding a home generator, Cornerstone Pros recommends you act now before more price increases are passed on from manufacturers to local dealers.

Like manufacturing companies everywhere, plants that make mechanical systems for homes are faced with parts and labor shortages, which are resulting in higher prices on everything from air conditioning units, refrigerants, hot water heaters, home generators, and parts and material for all trades.

Dana Spears, president and owner of Cornerstone Pros in Land O’ Lakes, says price increases like these are out of her control. Cornerstone has done its best to keep its prices as low as possible and is continuing to try to make its services affordable for homeowners.

“Unfortunately, the current manufacturing environment is seeing pricing fluctuate daily, making it difficult to forecast 100% of future repair and replacement costs. We already have received numerous price increases this year, and are being told more will be coming in the next two quarters, anywhere from 8% to 15%.”

Because of this, Spears strongly recommends homeowners stop putting off these home improvements, especially for new air conditioning systems.

“You can buy now, and pay low monthly payments with deferred interest for up to 18 months,” says Spears.

Cornerstone Pros always recommends regular maintenance and planning ahead when it comes to taking care of your home. This will save you money, and allow you to budget for future repairs. Spears suggests joining the Cornerstone Protection Plan, which covers two AC tune-ups a year, annual plumbing and electrical inspections, and discounted services, for one low monthly payment of $9.95.

“A preventative maintenance checkup can help prevent an emergency from happening at your home because it allows a technician to catch a problem prior to the system failing on that hot summer day,” said Spears. “We’re currently offering an AC System Maintenance Checkup at a special rate of $39.95 and this will allow new customers to try our five-star rated services.”

The only thing worse than having your AC go out on the hottest day of the year or your water heater breaking in the evening is not being able to get it repaired right away. Cornerstone wants to make this process as easy as possible for its customers. The company offers many ways to schedule through online chat, online booking, texting, or a call to the office.

Spears added that if you are in need of any of their services, reach out to schedule a certified Cornerstone service technician who will come to your home in a fully stocked truck ready to evaluate your home needs, and provide up-front pricing for any repairs needed. Cornerstone also offers free no-obligation written estimates for replacement of your current AC system, water heater, electrical panel or generator.

Check out the 10,000-plus online 5 star reviews and try it for yourself and see “The Cornerstone Difference,” exceeding expectations from beginning to the end.
