New schools mean new boundaries
By TIMES WIRES
Published December 23, 2006
Five new schools are coming along the fast-growing State Road 54 corridor - and that means the boundaries are being redrawn for a number of Pasco schools. The new schools slated to open next school year are: - Sunlake High School, which will affect the boundaries for Land O'Lakes and J.W. Mitchell high schools. - Charles S. Rushe Middle School, which will affect the boundaries for Seven Springs and Pine View middle schools. - New River Elementary School, which will affect the boundaries for Chester W. Taylor and Wesley Chapel elementary schools. - Double Branch Elementary School, which will affect the boundaries for Wesley Chapel and Sand Pine elementary schools. - Gulf Trace Elementary School, which will affect the boundaries for Sunray, Gulfside and Mittye P. Locke elementary schools. Maps of the proposed districts are online at http://www.pasco.k12.fl.us, along with the dates and locations of public hearings in January on the proposals. Public meetings on insurance crisis State Sen. Victor Crist, R-Tampa, and state Rep. Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, will have town hall meetings Jan. 3 and 5 to discuss Florida's insurance crisis. They will meet residents 6 to 9 p.m. Jan. 3 at the historic courthouse in Dade City. The second meeting will be 6 to 9 p.m. Jan. 5 at the University Area Community Center Complex, 14013 N. 22nd St., in Tampa. Lawmakers have scheduled a special session beginning Jan. 16 to consider reforms. Gardens village model center open A new model home center is up at Connerton, featuring Smith Family Homes' model home for the Gardens, Connerton's second village. The Gardens will eventually have more than 1,700 homes, and is the second of five villages planned at the 5,000-acre Connerton New Town off U.S. 41. The Smith homes will be linked to a Gardens Village Center, scheduled to open in 2007, with a library, outdoor amphitheater and shopping center, among other suburbanite goodies.

Fifty years ago, they were screwed-up kids sent to the Florida School for Boys to be straightened out. But now they are screwed-up men, scarred by the whippings they endured. Read the story and see a video and portrait gallery.
