It’s been less than three months sincethe Lutz-based Trinity Dragons had a strongshowing at the 2016 Vex World RoboticsChampionships in Louisville, Kentucky, yetthe club’s high school team is already strate-gizing for next year’s robotics season. Whileother robotics clubs may take some time offto regroup and recharge their batteries, thatisn’t the case for Team 6430.

The team —Braeden Adams, 15; SeanCarr, 17; Maddie Jones, 16; and, RJ Walters, 17has been working diligently in hopes ofbuilding off last year’s achievements andagain reaching the world championships.

“We try to tell them to take a couplemonths off, but it never works,” said RayCarr, robotics coach for the Trinity Dragons.“They just start building again as soon as the(robotics) parts show up.

“It is nonstop,” the coach said.The group often spends 30 hours a week

building a Vex robot from scratch, and thenmethodically attempts to optimize it for aparticular Vex robotic challenge. Theprocess is arduous. It consists of designing arobotic prototype from a combination of in-

tricate software, and mechani-cal equipment and sensors.

“Software makes a big dif-ference, and how you runcontrol systems and stuff likethat,” said Ray Carr, the chieftechnical officer forOccamMD, a leading engineer-ing services firm. “That’swhere they’ve excelled — get-ting their controls workingand their software working,and making it different thanjust a robot that can drive (it-self).”

This past season, Team 6430 won theFlorida Vex Robotics State Championshipand finished ninth among 500 teams at theworld championships, which consisted ofmore than 16,000 participants from 37 na-tions.

The 2016 competition, called “NothingBut Net” required teams to construct robotsthat could essentially score as many ballsinto goals during a two-minute span.

A replay of the 2016 Vex Robotics WorldChampionships will be airing on ESPN2 onJuly 20.

Competing —and teaming up — with

elite teams from other countries inside the1.2 million square-foot Kentucky ExpositionCenter proved to be a fulfilling experience,team members said. They interacted withstudents from nations like Canada, NewZealand, China, Singapore and the UnitedKingdom.

“The human element is the most impor-tant part,” Ray Carr said, “because it givesthem exposure to managing teams and man-aging people. They’re learning aboutreal-world applications and real-world inter-faces; it’s been really good for them.”

At locations around HillsboroughCounty, officials from the HillsboroughCounty Parks and Recreation departmentare meeting with residents to discuss futurerecreational plans for the county.

On June 27, the public input session washeld at the Northdale Community Center.That was one of seven meetings in June togather suggestions as the county creates itscomprehensive plan for its parks system.

The goal is to have a final master plan intime for the county’s budget discussions inJanuary, said Doc Dougherty, the county’sparks and recreation director.

Once it has been completed, the plan es-sentially will be a “wish book” of requests,

upgrades and programming for the park sys-tem.

Ideas from residents and departmentstaff are both being considered.

“It’s the involvement of everybody — it’snot just one person’s plan,” Dougherty said.“In the end, we can have a much more pro-ductive department and better quality of lifethrough our parks overall,” he said.

The county’s parks and recreation sys-tem is large. It includes: More than 180neighborhood parks, 118 playgrounds, 270athletic fields and 53 community centers.

The county also oversees five dog parksand three skateparks.

At the Northdale session, an addendumsurvey indicated a strong preference for

With November’s quadren-nial Election Day loomingever larger on our calen-dars, the importance of

what Americans tell pollsters about the con-dition of the country swells almost by themoment.

Indeed, it scarcely matters just now, inthe middle of July 2016, whether you’re withHillary or you’re aboard the Trump train, oreven if you’re checking out the shrewdlooniness of Libertarian Gary Johnson. Whatgenuinely matters, because it will guide yourinspection of our sorry gaggle of presiden-tial contenders, is what you think about thedirection the country is headed.

It’s called the “right track/wrong track”poll, and it’s supposed to reveal the elec-torate’s general mood — which, at themoment, isn’t pretty. Lately, the Real ClearPolitics average favors “wrong track” by awhopping 65.1 percent. And, the trend is inthe direction of a widening, worsening gap.

Obviously, a poll that provides only athis-or-that option cannot effectively identi-fy what might prompt someone to chooseone track over the other. Most likely —given the stubborn, roughly 50-50 split with-in American politics — it’s even-money yourreasons for thinking we’re on the wrongtrack are different from your neighbor’s, ormine.

But, the mere fact that two-thirds of usfind our direction disturbing reinforces thenotion that whatever November brings, theoutcome will reflect the nation’s desire forsome sort of change.

You know, unless, by delivering anotherround of division and stalemate, it doesn’t.

Anyway, it is against that stormy back-drop that an utterly counterintuitive, if notdownright weird, thing happened recentlyin Pasco County. The date for candidatequalifying came and went a few weeks ago,leaving in its wake a robust — if intenselylocalized — argument against the dug-in dis-gruntlement that plagues America.

An even dozen Pasco-linked candidates,officeholders and first-time office-seekersalike, won election without opposition: acongressman, four constitutional officers,two school board members and five of sixmembers of Pasco’s state legislative delega-tion. Only Pinellas-based Jack Latvala, aRepublican state senator, will see his nameon a ballot, and that’s only because a coupleof write-in candidates signed up.

Even so, there will be local tussles, andthey could be lively.

All three county commission seats willbe contested. The property appraiser’s job,opened by Mike Wells’ retirement, lured two

Republicans (including District 1 CountyCommissioner Ted Schrader) and aDemocrat. County Clerk and ComptrollerPaula O’Neil has drawn a lightly financed re-turn challenger.

And, as they always are, both MosquitoControl Board races will be contested —which, given the pest-borne Zika virusthreat, will require our particular attentionthis year.

Still, not counting the County Courtjudge’s election and assorted hyper-localCDD races, that’s seven contests out of apossible 19 in a year portrayed as the mostcontentious in living memory.

Our comparatively peaceful electionlandscape figures, at least in part, fromPasco’s increasingly rightward tilt. As of latelast week, Republicans, who’ve held a regis-tration plurality in the county for 17 years,owned a record 21,000-voter edge overDemocrats.

Not unexpectedly, then, the GOP has avirtual lockdown in Pasco; New Port Richey-based Democratic state Rep. AmandaMurphy, also re-elected without opposition,is the lone exception. Pasco hasn’t elected aDemocrat running countywide sinceMichael Cox bumped former pal SteveSimon off the county commission in a mem-orable revenge match in 2006.

Still, as occasional Democratic successessuggest, what recently prevailed here isn’tentirely about party advantages. Instead, itseems easily as likely what is afoot is a con-viction among Pasco voters that theircounty, and to the extent they can influenceit, their state, are on the right track.

That sense of well-being would naturally

flow to their representatives. And why not?In Tallahassee, a rising Speaker of the

House (Richard Corcoran) and a probableSenate president (Wilton Simpson) givePasco influence disproportionate to its size.And Rep. Danny Burgess, of Zephyrhills, car-ries an air of earnest concern for hisconstituents.

Back home, a unifying theme of open-ness, accessibility, accountability andcitizen-service runs through all Pasco’s con-stitutional offices, and their elected chiefsdeserve a mention: Sheriff Chris Nocco,Supervisor of Elections Brian Corley,Superintendent of Schools Kurt Browning,Tax Collector Mike Fasano, as well as theaforementioned O’Neil and Wells.

No, these acknowledgements aren’t in-tended to represent the views of all Pascovoters, just as right-track/wrong-track pollsdon’t attempt to ascertain what bugs thosewho are unhappy. But, if anywhere close toeven 40 percent of us were genuinely upsetwith those who were re-elected by acclama-tion last month, you can bet they wouldhave drawn some sort of organized resist-ance.

After all, if the presidential primariestaught us anything, it is the year for electoralarson. Come the general, the national fric-tion may yet spark a local fire, but it willpass, and those who look after our day-to-day concerns will remain, unsinged.

Because that, evidently, is just how welike it.

JCPenney stores in the Tampa Bay area,including Pasco County, are taking applica-tions for 250 jobs, according to an emailannouncement from the national depart-ment store chain.

Stores are hiring now as they gear up forback-to-school shoppers, according to thecompany email.

The Florida Sales Tax Holiday in 2016generally heralds the start of the new schoolseason. This year the holiday begins Aug. 5and ends Aug. 7. Sales tax exemptions applyto clothing, shoes and school supplies.

The company is seeking “energetic asso-ciates,” according to Joey Thomas, acompany spokesman who responded byemail to The Laker/Lutz News.

James Cash Penney founded the depart-ment store chain 114 years ago in Wyoming.He learned the retail business initially byworking for owners of the Golden Rulestores in Colorado and Wyoming. Eventually,

he bought them out.Penney’s sells clothes, cosmetics, elec-

tronics, shoes, furniture, housewares,jewelry and most recently, appliances.

There are more than 1,000 stores inAmerican and Puerto Rico. JCPenney hadabout 105,000 employees as of 2015, ac-cording to company data.

There was a quiet buzz around theroom, as teachers conferred with their col-leagues.

They were working in teams, planningprojects they will use in the coming yearthat will infuse technology into their dailyteaching.

The 20 teachers, from across PascoCounty, were part of the TeacherTechnology Summer Institute that recentlywrapped up at the University of Saint Leo,near Dade City.

They were there on their own time —eager to learn how they can take advantageof technology to improve student learning.

In selecting teachers for the technologyinstitute, the university wasn’t looking forevidence of “tech wizardry” in the applica-tions, said Holly Atkins, associate professorof education at Saint Leo. Rather, it wasseeking “teachers who are very student-cen-tered, and really eager and open to learningmore.”

Saint Leo fully understands the value ofinfusing technology in classrooms, Atkinssaid.

“We have a foundation of people whohave the idea that the best use of technolo-gy is when it moves from the teacher’shands to the students, so that they are en-gaged and they are creating,” she said.

“We not only encourage, we require, ourstudent teachers to really become profi-cient at using the technology,” Atkins said.

But, the university has noticed it stu-dents often face a different scenario whenthey begin their student teacher experi-ences.

“Some of these students (student teach-ers) said, ‘My teacher doesn’t know how touse the tools. My teacher doesn’t let me usethe tools,’” Atkins said.

The technology institute is part of theuniversity’s service to the community,Atkins said.

“But, it also serves our education depart-ment and our own students, because theteachers that are in there (the institute)right now, almost all of them have receivedclinical instructor training. This enablesthem to host a student teacher,” Atkins said.

Teachers at the institute each couldchoose a technological tool to take back totheir classroom. Their options were a classset of Virtual Reality headsets, a MicrosoftSurface Pro, an iPad or a MimeoTeach,which is a toolbar that turns any white-board into an interactive whiteboard.

The institute addresses the four ele-ments that teachers need to be successfulat infusing technology into their teaching,Atkins said.

Teachers need the technological tool,they need training, they need time to prac-tice using it and they need teams — so theycan encourage and help each other en-hance their skills.

“A teacher’s toolbox today should bebroadening, rather than shrinking,” Atkinssaid. “So, it should be filled with chart paperand markers and all that good stuff, and alsoiPads and interactive whiteboards. It’s notan ‘either/or’ it’s an ‘and.’,” she said.

Like any other tool, technology needs to

be used when it’s appropriate, Atkins said.“So, just like any kind of skilled crafts-

man, the accomplished teacher looks atstudent learning needs, opens up his or hertoolbox and says, ‘What’s the best tool tomake this happen?’”

Atkins said.This year’s crop of 20 teachers came

from schools including Pine View MiddleSchool, Pine View Elementary and SandersMemorial S.T.E.A.M. Magnet Elementary inLand O’ Lakes and Quail HollowElementary in Wesley Chapel.

They were enthusiastic about the oppor-tunity to build on their technological skills.

“Being at Sanders, we’re very fortunate.We already have a 1-to-1 ratio with devices,”said Megan Bender, a third-grade teacher.

But she was delighted to learn moreabout various apps and websites, and tohear the creative approaches used by otherteachers.

“Getting all of these ideas is so exciting,”Bender said.

Mitzi Whitaker, another Sanders teacher,noted that both teachers and studentscame to the magnet school from acrossPasco County.

So, they arrived there with various levelsof technical knowledge, Whitaker said.

Even with a year of experience behindthem, technology is constantly evolving, shesaid.

“We’re going to always be changing upour game,” Whitaker said.

This is the third year that Saint Leo hashosted the technology institute, which waspaid for with grants the first two years andfrom the university’s budget this year.

The university also added a TeacherTechnology Leadership Institute, also paidfor through university funds.

The leadership institute involved 10teachers who had completed the technolo-gy institute, Atkins said.

As part of their leadership development,those teachers will serve as mentors duringthe coming school year to the teacherswho just finished the technology institute.

The teachers in the technology institutewill be conducting a research projectthroughout the school year, measuring thesuccess of a particular technology tool inconnection with student learning.

They’ll convene at the the end of theschool year to see how the research went.

Jennifer Ippolito and Desi Krell, teachersat Pine View Middle, welcomed the chanceto work on teams for the research.

They said they already work together onprojects, and the institute has helped themtake that collaboration to the next level.

Julie Saez, a teacher at WatergrassElementary School, was thrilled when shewas selected to be part of the leadership in-stitute.

She said she knew it would be worth-while because of her positive experience atthe technology institute.

“The collaboration with everybody wasexactly what I needed,” she added, notingthat she formed lasting friendships and es-tablished valuable professionalrelationships.

“We’re like-minded people — alwayslooking for new, upcoming technology,”Saez said.

A new yogurt shop — sweetFrogPremium Frozen Yogurt — plans to opensoon in a storefront in the Willow BendTown Centre, at 22920 State Road 54, atCollier Parkway in Lutz.

The center’s anchor, Kmart, closed inmid-March. Representatives of SearsHoldings said the Kmart closing would cutcompany expenses overall and speed up itsefforts to recast Kmart’s business model.

No additional announcements on aprospective tenant to fill Kmart’s spot, aswell as a handful of other vacant store-fronts, are available yet, according toCourtney Bissett-Hayes of Bissett McGrathProperties.

The sweetFrog shop is expected to openin August next to South Beach Tanning,Bissett-Hayes said.

The franchise owner could not bereached for comment.

The sweetFrog brand began seven yearsago in Richmond, Virginia, as a start-up busi-ness by South Korean immigrant Derek Chaand his wife, Annah, according to the yogurtshop’s website.

The company is operated on Christianprinciples, similar to the model of Chick-fil-A. The second part of its name —Frog —isan anagram for Fully Rely on God.

Company mascots are Scoop andCookie. The shop is available for birthdayparties and special events. A Leap ForwardSchool program offers free frozen yogurtcards to schools as giveaways for studentswho are on the honor roll, have perfect at-tendance or are singled out for exceptionalcitizenship.

There is a sweetFrog location in SpringHill.

Worldwide, the yogurt franchise has 350locations. It has shops in 25 states acrossthe country, and in the DominicanRepublic, Egypt and the United ArabEmirates, according to its website.

Surgical Alternative

Peggy Boyd was looking at surgery to get relief from chronic back pain.Then she met Peggy Boyd at Surgical Alternatives, and after just a fewsessions she was on her way to a pain-free life.

“It’s been seven years and I’m still pain free. For me, Peggy is a miracleworker,” says Grace.

more senior-oriented programs, disc golffields, and hiking and walking trails. Therewere also requests for more open greenspaces with picnic areas and additionalrecreation centers.

“A big part of our discussion of the mas-ter plan is: Do we build new parks or dorenovate old parks? When you start lookingat the number of parks we already have,how about we invest into the older parks,”Dougherty said.

Ideally, the department would like to re-ceive at least 50,000 responses fromcounty residents, Dougherty said. Thatwould present the department with a real-istic view of upgrades and improvementsneeded for each neighborhood park.

“Our total (budget request) will be alarge number,” he said. “Individually, theremight be one park where it’s $200,000 toupgrade and another park might be$700,000,” he said.

“A lot of people just think about the bigparks that we have, but we’ve got suchsmall individual parks that just a little (up-keep) will go a long way,” he added.

If the Hillsborough County Commissionapproves the master plan’s budget,Dougherty said the department is facing atleast another 100 meetings with variousfocus groups and individual communitiesbefore any systematic changes are made.

“It won’t be something where a budgetpasses and we’re ready,” he said. “It will takea little bit of time, but at least the focus andpriority of where the money is going willbe there.”

One possible alteration to the park sys-tem is the creation of specialty parks, suchas tennis and basketball centers.

Adding specialty parks would eliminatethe need to repair damaged tennis and bas-

ketball courts in each neighborhood park,Dougherty said.

“Do we continue fixing everythingthat’s in every park, or do we create whatwe call specialty parks? That’s one of thedrastic changes when you start looking atcreating the master plan,” Dougherty said.

The department also is looking into sev-eral technological upgrades, such as theaddition of electronic charging stations(powered by solar energy) and wirelessInternet access in certain designated areas

“I have a lot of friends that I actually metonline through this stuff, and then we gotto go to Worlds and I (was able) to meetthem,” Walters said.

Admittedly, Team 6430 has come a longway since the club formed about four yearsago. Then, they were only involved with“real simple stuff,” often not standing achance against more polished roboticsteams.

“We were getting ourselves killed,” RayCarr candidly acknowledged. “They reallystruggled when they started; they’ve reallykind of progressively learned.

“We’ve always stressed during their de-velopment to keep it simple,” he added.

“The fact that (the robot) even turns on andruns each time is a big deal.”

For them, the process of putting togeth-er a high-functioning robot — including thecountless batteries and motors they’veburned through — is what ultimately cre-ates a sense of accomplishment.

“It’s a very satisfying feeling when some-thing actually works for once,” Jones said.

“It’s fun to put all this time into some-thing and actually see it work in acompetition,” Adams said.

While the Trinity Dragons’ Team 6430ranks as the top robotics team in Florida,the coach insists the group’s merit isn’tbased on the number of tournaments theywin, or how many awards they rack up.

Instead, it’s more about following threeinterlocking pillars: faith, family and fun.

“We’re a Christian-based team; characteris really most important,” Ray Carr said.

“We never started it to win. It’s justthey’ve done well, but it’s never, ever beenabout that,” he added.

“Some teams will check MCAT scores,SAT scores or you have to try out, but wenever did that. We just had families that gottogether and started,” the coach said.

This year’s Vex robotics challenge,named “Starstruck,” will be played on a 12-by-12 square field, in which two alliancesconsisting of two robotics teams each, com-pete in matches consisting of a 15-fifteensecond autonomous period, followed by 1minute and 45 seconds of driver-controlledplay.

The object of the game is to attain ahigher score than the opposing alliance by

having each robot place “stars” and “cubes”in designated zones, and remotely hangingrobots onto a hanging pole.

Team 6430 will constantly tweak theirrobot — which they’ve already assembled— to master the art of “Starstruck,” as theycompete in monthly regional tournaments,beginning in September. The team’s goal isto again qualify for the VEX World RoboticsChampionships, and to have another strongperformance.

“Throughout our season, we’ll try a lotof things,” said Sean Carr, the coach’s son.

“It’s like your little baby the whole sea-son,” Walters said. “You’ve got to take care ofit.”

Students interested in joining the TrinityDragons robotics team can reach Ray Carrat (813) 679-1795.

within each park.“Technology — we know that’s the fu-

ture,” Dougherty said.Enhanced safety and security measures,

including solar-powered security camerasand emergency security call boxes, willlikely be a significant focal point within themaster plan.

Recreation ID membership passes areanother safety measure the department hasresearched.

“This will take a little more time to im-plement, but we should have some kind ofunderstanding and regulation of who’scoming and going,” Dougherty said.

“On the short end, it helps us to knowwho’s interested in what kind of (recre-ation) classes. To me, it’s strictly a securityissue — no bad people want to let usknow that they’re coming into the parks,”he said.

The public meetings in June followed

up similar sessions held earlier in the yearby the Hillsborough County Conservationand Environmental Lands Management de-partment, which oversees 10 regionalnature parks, including Lake Park and theUpper Tampa Bay Trail.

Its master plan will include specific rec-ommendations on policies, procedures andpractices as it relates to natural resourcemanagement, regional park facility uses andupgrades, and outdoor recreation.

Upgrading the park system has a signifi-cant effect on quality of life and propertyvalues, Dougherty said.

“When it comes to budget times, peoplesee parks and recreation as not a necessity,”he said. “But, when you think about...whatpeople take part in — youths in littleleague programs, having a picnic in thepark — most people’s only connection tothe local government is through parks andrecreation.”

Northdale residents gather to provide input for the parks and recreation department’s master plan.

The accolades are piling up forSteinbrenner High School’s right-handedpitcher CJ Van Eyk.

He’s led Steinbrenner to its first statebaseball title.

He’s been crowned the Florida DairyFarmers’ Class 8A Player of the Year.

And now, the rising senior has achievedanother prestigious accomplishment: pitcheron the USA Baseball 18U National Trial team.

Van Eyk, a Florida State commit, was oneof 40 players nationwide selected to the ros-ter on June 26 following a scouting andevaluation period in Cary, North Carolina.

“It was definitely surprising, but I thoughtI had good shot,” Van Eyk said about his se-lection.

It wasn’t much of a shock for Van Eyk’shigh school baseball coach, John Crumbley.

“He’s right up there with some of the toppitchers that I’ve coached in my career,” saidCrumbley, who’s amassed four state titlesand over 700 wins in his 25-plus year coach-ing career at Jesuit and Steinbrenner highschools.

“If he stays healthy, his upside is so high.“Now, this is just going to put him in the

national spotlight,” Crumbley said.The trial games run from Sept. 11 to Sept.

15 in Houston, Texas, when the 20-man 18UNational Team roster will be finalized. If VanEyk makes the 20-man roster, he will partici-pate in the COPABE Pan Am “AAA”Championships in Monterrey, Mexico, fromSept. 23 to Oct. 2.

Last season, Van Eyk proved to be one of

the most dominant pitchers in the entirestate. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound flamethrowerranked first in Class 8A in strikeouts (130)and wins (12), and fifth in earned run aver-age (0.77).

With a four-pitch repertoire that includesa 92 mph fastball, high school opponentsoften left the batter’s box bewildered by VanEyk’s pitching dexterity.

“When you’re throwing in the 90s, thatusually gets attention,” Crumbley said. “Hisfastball has gotten more velocity as his ca-reer at Steinbrenner has gone along — Ithink the first thing that people see is his ve-locity that he has.”

Moreover, his other three pitches werejust as demoralizing to opposing hitters, hishigh school coach said.

“They are all plus pitches that he’ll throwat any time,” Crumbley said. “Sometimes, he’llget out more (batters) with his splitter orchangeup. And, his curveball is devastating.”

Crumbley added Van Eyk’s competitive-ness, too, is a key reason for his massivesuccesses on the mound.

“He’s just goes at it and gets it done.”With a goal of one day playing high-level

professional baseball, Van Eyk is constantlyhoning his craft — he’s currently striving tothrow his fastball in the mid-90s by the 2017season.

“I’ve been working to get my velocity up,and keep commanding my pitches better,”Steinbrenner’s ace pitcher said. “There’s al-ways room for improvement, no matter whoyou are or what you want to do.”

According to Crumbley, Van Eyk alwaysshowed flashes of potential, but said he real-ly emerged toward the end of hissophomore year, when he finished 7-0 witha 0.16 ERA in 44.1 innings.

“As a ninth-grader he had a good arm, butI think he just needed to understand how toharness what he had because he was a littlemore inconsistent,” Crumbley said. “As asophomore, we brought him along wherehe was pretty much the guy at the end afterwe used him more in relief (at the start ofthe season). We didn’t have to hurry himalong — he was able to play infield and de-velop as a pitcher without being thrown tothe wolves early on, so I think all thathelped.”

Though the start of the 2017 high schoolbaseball season is more than seven monthsaway, Crumbley said his team is alreadyeager to defend its state title, especially withits best player returning.

“This is the most returning pitching thatgot us to a high level, and more returningstarters than we’ve ever had, so we’re excit-ed,” Crumbley said. “We know the target willbe on us.”

Van Eyk is also bullish on the Warrior’s2017 prospects, and believes the team canrepeat as state champs.

“I’m pretty confident in (the team), and Ithink we can do it again,” he said.
