Ambassador of the MonthGigi D. Evans

FLA Title Services, Inc./Nations Title5328 Trouble Creek Road

New Port Richey, FL 34652(727) 945-9669

www.flatitlebygigid.com

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you to the WPCC for granting me the honor of Ambas-sador of the Month a/k/a Miss April Dirt Girl. As a member of WPCC for the last decade, I have met some of the warmest people and made some wonderful friends and I thank the Chamber for this as well.

Originally, I am from St. Louis, Missouri, but I have been a heart Floridian since birth. My St. Louis Cardinals had Spring Training at Al Lang Stadium and I fell in love with the Tampa Bay area. I have been attending Spring Training since I was in the womb and yes, I bleed Cardinal Red. My handsome husband, Paul, (a contractor from Buffalo) and I met here in 1984 and married in 1987. I was a summer Mom for years before our two sons moved down from Buffalo and now, besides being the wicked evil stepmother, I’m a happy, happy Gramma too. (I love it when they come grown.)

We’ve since moved from Pinellas to our favorite New Port Richey. Paul and Paul, Jr., have been building and I have been titling Tampa Bay for nearly two decades now. I originally attained my legal experience in real estate, working for a local attorney who concentrated specifically on real estate, business law and probate and later moved on to the practice of contract and construction law. I eventually acquired my own title license, and have been helping people with my own version of a sunny FLA Title agency, since 2003. Now, I have partnered with a national title insurance agency and can help you on a national level. Ask me how I can help you and/or your clients pretty much 24/7.

Have notary, will travel, just in case you need a notary public and I can marry you, if you need an officiant. I have all kinds of tips for real estate closings, moving tips, saving money on trans-actions...... Just call.

Please remember, when you pay, you pick. It’s your decision who you choose for your notary and/or title agency. Pick me, Gigi D., for all of your real property needs.

The West Pasco Young Professionals group was created to connect talented young professionals ages 21 to 40. It is the go-to organization for young professionals looking to energize, engage and contribute to the greater West Pasco community. We strive to foster an environment that attracts and retains young talent wanting to learn about issues, interact with regional leaders, and give back to the community. This active and vibrant group of future leaders is open to all young business professionals with the desire to connect with peers, learn from leaders, grow professionally, and become part of the process of giving back. We encourage all current members to continue to participate with the organization for the remainder of their membership in an advisory capacity.

Leadership Pasco Is Now AcceptingApplications For The Class Of 2017

Since 1990, Leadership Pasco has introduced business and com-munity leaders to major facets of the Pasco County community through an intensive ten-month course. Class members participate in full-day program sessions, tours and candid conversations with community leaders to broaden their local understanding of the ever changing needs of Pasco County. Topics include criminal justice, healthcare, education, government, infrastructure, media and business industries. In addition, each Leadership Pasco class is responsible for mak-ing a positive impact within the community by organizing a Class Project that brings charitable people and resources together to address a particular social, educational, economic, environmental or cultural need in Pasco County. Applications are available online at www.leadershippasco.com

Emerging and existing community leaders who live or work in Pasco County are invited to apply. The Class of 2017 will be chosen from a competitive pool of applicants interested in learning about the important issues facing Pasco County and committed to utilizing their leadership abilities for its long-term benefit.

and applications are due no later than June 1, 2016. Applications will be reviewed by the Leadership Pasco Recruitment Committee in mid-June and selected Class of 2017 members will be contacted by the end of June 2016. Monthly program sessions begin with orientation in August 2016 and conclude with a graduation cer-emony in May 2017. For more than 25 years, Leadership Pasco has helped to identify and recruit current or potential leaders of Pasco County, facilitate the development and interaction of those leaders, and to foster an issues-oriented learning environment for those leaders and the citizens of Pasco County in order to encourage an exchange of ideas and generate enthusiasm for community growth and development. For more information, call 727-534-4280 or visit www.leadershippasco.com.

Parents and guardians should be aware of the three leading causes of preventable child deaths. Last year, the Department of Children and Families joined with community partners to launch “Warning Signs,” a three-year public awareness campaign to educate and encourage the community to take action to save our children from the leading preventable causes of child deaths.

The top causes include:

SuffocationMore infants die in adult beds than anywhere else. Kids belong

in kid beds. Infants sleeping in adult beds account for nearly 74 percent of deaths in babies under 4 months. To prevent infant deaths from suffocation, parents should put the baby’s crib next to the parents’ bed for the first 6 months of life. Keep the crib safe with tight-fitting sheets and a firm mattress. In addition, keep the crib free of blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, etc. Place the infant on its back when putting him or her down to sleep.

DrowningDrowning kills more kids ages 1-4 than any other cause. Small

kids can drown as fast as 20 seconds in such diverse objects as a bucket, bathtub, toilet, and a pool.

Formal swimming lessons for kids age 4 and under cut drown-ing risk by 88 percent. Two-thirds of small kids who drowned in a pool were last seen in the house. Eliminate distractions for those watching kids near water – no texting, phone calls, reading, or video games. Learn CPR – it saves lives.

Inflicted head traumaShaking infants – even once – can kill or injure them for life.

Half of kids who suffer severe head trauma before age 5 die be-fore their 21st birthday. Crying is most often the reason people shake, squeeze or throw small babies. Parents themselves most often cause the injury or death, but other people not prepared or equipped to handle a crying baby are also the cause.

Crying is normal. It’s how babies communicate. Check a cry-ing baby for hunger, a dirty diaper, their temperature, and other causes that can make them uncomfortable. Offer people who watch infants a support system to relieve their stress.

For more information about how to keep our smallest loved ones safe, visit the website www.PreventNeedlessDeaths.com.

Pasco’s Push forInnovative Programs

by Kurt S. Browning, Superintendent of Pasco County Public Schools

During the 2016 Legislative Session, Pasco County Schools identified these funding priori-ties: The Tampa Bay Regional Aeronautics Academy, community schools, and STEM Stackable Credentials. Although Pasco County Schools is not the fiscal agent for all of these programs, we are working with partners for the benefit of our students and those across the Tampa Bay region.

The Tampa Bay Regional Aeronautics Academy is Florida’s first regional aeronautics academy, serving students in Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas school districts. Each district has at least one aeronautics high school, and allows any student to apply through controlled open enrollment. Our districts have partnered with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University for college level curriculum and with Tampa International Airport for internships. Thanks to Governor Scott and the Florida Legislature, this appropriation received funding in prior years.

In 2012, Florida’s first community school opened at Evans High School in Orlando. Evans partnered with the University of Central Florida and Children’s Home Society to provide assistance to students and their families. For the past two years, Pasco County Schools has participated in a planning grant and last year, Gulfside Elementary School in Holiday was selected as Pasco’s community school location. This community school will provide wrap-around services, such as basic medical and dental care, behavioral counsel-ing, and after school programs, to students and their families in the Gulfside Elementary - Anclote High feeder pattern.

Finally, STEM Stackable Credentials is a new, high-rigor program enabling high school students to graduate with a high school diploma, at least one industry certification, and an Associate of Science (A.S.) degree from Pasco-Hernando State College. The eligible A.S. degrees will be in Airport Management, Aircraft Maintenance, Pilot Operations, Unmanned Aircraft Systems, and Cyber/IT Security. I am thankful to the Florida Legislature and to Governor Rick Scott for their support.

National County Government MonthNational County Government Month, held each April, rec-

ognizes and celebrates the important and essential role county government plays in the lives of citizens across the nation. The 2016 theme is Safe and Secure Counties.
