Pasco’s Masonry & Landscape Depot Beats The Big-Box Stores On Price & Selection!

Owner Alfredo Colon invites you to check out Pasco’s Masonry & Landscaping Depot on U.S. Hwy. 301 in Dade City.

It doesn’t take long after pulling into to Pasco’s Masonry & Landscape Depot, off U.S. Hwy. 301 and just a short drive from Wesley Chapel, to notice that they probably have what you came in to find.

There are piles of various mulches — red, brown, cypress, pine bark, etc. — to your right, and stacks of decorative rock, flagging and veneers all around you. There are slabs of marble for your countertops and everything from black and red lava rocks to black canyon granite in wire barrels and wooden buckets, as well as more than 3,000 trees and shrubs for your landscaping needs.

Piles of materials for masonry construction, like 20-foot rebar (which owner Alfredo Colon says is preferred by contractors and not accessible everywhere), cinder blocks and precast lintels, also are available.

Inside the small storefront, there are various tools and other landscaping and masonry items for sale.

“We have pretty much everything,’’ Alfredo says.

And if Pasco’s Masonry doesn’t have what you need, Alfredo says he can get it for you — usually for less than it would cost you from some of the more familiar chain stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s.

Colon knows that running his family business against those bigger and more recognizable options isn’t easy, but he says he’s up for the challenge. What he lacks in brand recognition for the moment, he  makes up for with cheaper prices, better and more personalized customer service and accessibility to Pasco Masonry’s management.

Selling in bulk, in addition to also carrying the smaller bags of mulch and rocks that you might be looking for, also sets him apart. You can buy a yard of mulch for $26, or if you desire, just a bag for $2.50.

Colon says that aggregates — the rocks, which include everything from decorative stone to gravel — are his biggest sellers.

“We tell people to just come on in, back up your truck and we’ll load it up,’’ Alfredo says. “We try to make it an easy trip for our customers, so they don’t have to park, grab a cart, walk around a store and fill it up, pay for it, then go unload it back into their car or truck.”

After 27 years as a contractor in Westchester County, NY, Alfredo and his family — wife Clarissa, 24-year-old son Andrew and 20-year-old daughter LoriAnne — moved to Florida two years ago to get away from the cold.

He says he always had the desire to own his own masonry house, and thought the area between Wesley Chapel, Dade City and Zephyrhills would be a perfect spot, considering all of the dirt roads and new construction.

Although he had his eye on a few spots in Wesley Chapel, he settled on a spacious four-acre property in Dade City that formerly was occupied by JLP Motorsports.

“That really gives us lots of good garage space (to store products),’’ Alfredo said. “And, having this much land is nice.”

Pasco’s Masonry & Landscaping Depot opened seven months ago, and Alfredo says that business has so far been good enough to exceed expectations.

“It won’t be too tough once we get going,” he says. “Every new business takes 2-3 years to get going, and what we offer here and what Lowe’s or Home Depot offers is a lot different. You can’t buy bulk material at Lowe’s, and if you do, you have to order it online and it’s going to cost you three times as much as I’m selling it for.”

Alfredo, who says he was the superintendent on the George Washington and Manhattan Bridge projects in New York City, says his varied background makes his business multi-dimensional.

For adding hardscape to your property, which can help increase its value, he sells Belgard products, which is backed by the Good Housekeeping Seal for quality and assurance.

At Pasco’s Masonry, there is a large, stone fireplace built, as well as an outdoor deck, fire pit and decorative retaining walls. Not only does Alfredo have the Belgard products for such projects, he says “I’ll even build one for you.”

Before getting into construction, Alfredo says he studied horticulture at the state University of New York at Farmingdale – which is part of the reason Pasco’s Masonry & Landscaping Depot specializes in both of Alfredo’s loves.

And now, with many homeowners looking to replace mulch,  trees and shrubs that were displaced or washed away by Hurricane Irma, Alfredo says Pasco’s Masonry can help.

In fact, not only does the store deliver, but Alfredo says he also can come to your home and help shape what your landscaping should look like, as well as recommended the kinds of foliage you should be planting.

“I always had an interest in landscaping and trees,’’ Alfredo says. “Now I see the opportunity to get what I always wanted. I like to design stuff for people. I’ll go out there and lay it out, and let you know which shrubs and trees you need.”

The same goes for granite countertops. Pasco Masonry & Landscaping Depot will come out to measure your counters, cut your marble (or whatever surface you choose) for you, and then return and install it.

Since opening, Alfredo says he has already done five countertops.

With a touch of pride in his voice, Alfredo says the biggest difference between Pasco’s Masonry & Landscaping Depot and the chains is that his is a true family business.

Clarissa helps manage the store, and when she’s not busy with her full-time college schedule, LoriAnne pitches in as well.

Meanwhile, Andrew is learning the ropes, as Alfredo’s hope is to one day leave the business to him.

“That’s my goal,’’ he says.

Pasco Masonry & Landscaping is located at 10301 U.S. 301 in Dade City, and is open Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m-4 p.m., and 7:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. on Saturday. For more information, check out PascosMasonry.com, @PascosMasonry on Facebook, or call (352) 437-4408.

Got Pain? Check Out Affordable, Quality Care At The Joint Chiropractic Center!

Alex and Valerie Pierroutsakos and their family invite you to visit The Joint Chiropractic in the Publix-anchored New Tampa Center plaza on BBD Blvd.

Two years before I moved from Westchester County, NY, to Wesley Chapel and three years before I purchased the Neighborhood News in 1994, one of my last part-time jobs in New York was as a “freelance marketing rep,” for a company that mainly dealt with doctors, dentists and other medical professionals who prior to that time, had never done much advertising of any kind because it was frowned upon by their respective professions.

My first client was a chiropractor, so I opened with a joke I had recently heard.

“Doc, is it true that a chiropractor can fix literally anything that’s wrong with you…in ‘only’ 50 visits?”

My client responded with a smile, “No, young man, it takes 100 visits.”

Shortly after that, I spoke with an orthopaedic surgeon I greatly respected who said that, “Yes, chiropractic is at least a step above voodoo.”

Well, that was more than 20 years ago and I’m not laughing anymore.

I met Alex Pierroutsakos, who operates the new New Tampa location of The Joint Chiropractic Center (in the Publix-anchored New Tampa Center shopping plaza on Bruce B. Downs Blvd. at New Tampa/Cross Creek Blvd.) with his wife, Valerie, at a Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce (WCCC) mixer a month or two before The Joint opened in June. Alex was talking about his new franchise and how it works to a small group of Chamber members. My fiancé (then, my girlfriend) Jannah turned to me and said, “I’m definitely doing this.”

Jannah, who has been seeing chiropractors for years following an auto accident that left her with chronic lower back and neck pain, said the only reason she stopped going was because she could only afford one or two adjustments a month and that wasn’t really enough to keep her pain at bay.

I, on the other hand, had never had any back or neck pain of any kind through my 40s. The only ongoing pain I had ever experienced was knee pain likely caused by playing basketball on cement in my late 30s, when I was often 25-50 pounds overweight. I had arthroscopic surgery on both knees almost 15 years ago and once I also lost the bulk of that additional weight, the knee pain went away.

But, since turning 50 a few (too many) years ago, it seems like every time I sleep “funny” or have to sit for too long at the computer without a break on deadline, I have been getting neck and/or lower back pain that feels like a needle jabbing me if I move too quickly. And, although I’ve never gained back more than 25 of the 50 lbs. I lost after my knee surgeries, alternating between my non-deadline weeks — where I work out and/or kayak 4-5 days a week to some deadline weeks where I do no exercise at all — had amplified my other pain and made my knees so creaky again that I was often walking with a limp.

The more I got to know Alex and Valerie, the more I realized that The Joint was the place for me.

Alex was involved in a car accident where someone else died eight years or so ago, that left him minus a limb.

“I have struggled with managing pain as well as trying to stay active and healthy,” he says. “In order to stay healthy and not grow dependent on opioids and other drugs, I have found massage and chiropractic care to be the keys to managing my pain and staying pain-free. Unfortunately, chiropractic care has been limited due to insurance limitations and cost and I had only been able to go when there was a problem or injury. Until The Joint, no model was available for me to get these benefits to stay aligned to prevent injury and manage bouts of phantom pain and back pain.  I am still very active as a runner, golfer, basketball, and active with my kids sports. ”

But, once these Wesley Chapel residents found The Joint franchise, Alex, a successful traveling business consultant, said he knew he had found the right niche for not only himself, but for a new business for his family.

“I realized that by having a Joint membership that offers four adjustments a month for one low price, I could take a more to take a proactive approach to my health, be in less pain, perform better in sports, while also saving money in the long run. And, I wanted to share that concept to other people.”

Member Benefits

 The Joint charges only $29 for an initial visit, which includes a consultation and physical exam with one of locations licensed chiropractic physicians (more on them below) and an adjustment, plus just $69 per month for four additional adjustments. If you need additional adjustments in a calendar month, they cost only $10 per visit.

The really cool thing about The Joint is that it stays open late (until 7 p.m.) and on weekends and you never need an appointment or even to call ahead. Since Jannah and I became the New Tampa location’s first two official clients on opening day in June, I have shown up more than a dozen times and have never had to wait more than 5 or 10 minutes to be seen by the doctor.

And, that’s by design. The Joint was originally founded in 1999 by a Doctor of Chiropractic with a vision to transform the traditional, often misunderstood concept of routine chiropractic care by making it more convenient, friendly and affordable. In March 2010, The Joint was re-founded with the acquisition of the original eight franchised clinics. Today, The Joint has grown to a nationwide network of more than 370 clinics utilizing more than 850 chiropractic physicians and the numbers continue to grow because it works. And, although no insurance is needed, The Joint is FSA (Healthcare Flexible Spending Account) and HSA (Health Savings Account)-accepted.

My New Friend, Dr. Barney

Although I had never met him before The Joint opened, I now consider the New Tampa location of The Joint’s Doctor of Chiropractic, Barnabas (Barney) Bickerton, D.C., to be my friend. Dr. Barney (photo, right) knew that I was nervous as I watched him adjust Jannah that first day (in The Joint’s open adjustment area) and he really took the time to discuss my issues before examining me. He then pinpointed, within a few moments, not only where I was feeling pain but also the source of that pain.

I told him the thing I was most worried about was having my neck adjusted, especially after watching him adjust Jannah’s neck, and he only massaged my neck in different positions that first visit. Instead, he focused not only on my back, but also on my achy knees and even the rotator cuffs in my arms.

Today, I’m an old pro at having my neck adjusted, thanks to the gentle, knowledgeable and caring Dr. Barney, and every time I visit The Joint, I feel better when I leave than I did when I came in.

And, Dr. Barney, who has more than 20 years of experience and earned his Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree from the Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, MO, isn’t alone at The Joint in New Tampa, where you also may see fellow D.C. Edward Leonard (whose TJ Wesley Chapel is listed as The Joint New Tampa’s owner; Alex and Valerie’s VALEX Inc. is listed as the location’s manager).

Both Jannah and her boss at the Pasco Education Foundation, Stacey Capogrosso, have both been adjusted by Dr. Leonard, as well as by Dr. Bickerton, and they agree that The Joint currently has two outstanding chiropractors.

“Val and I are focused on providing the care and experience from a customer and patient point of view,” Alex says. “We are both very strong believers in chiropractic care and focus on delivering the same experience we expect for ourselves but now to our customers that we serve in our neighborhood. Our location draws from both New Tampa and Wesley Chapel, which are both very health-oriented areas.”

Alex also says that the Wesley Chapel Chamber has been instrumental in helping The Joint get connected to the community and local businesses.  “But, more important is how welcoming the Chamber has been to us,” he says. “We are new to the area and were unsure of how the Chamber would help us. But, the Chamber members have welcomed us with open arms and helped us feel more connected with the community.”

And, The Joint has made me a believer, too. I feel great and I’ve even stopped limping.

Audi Wesley Chapel Eyes November Opening

From l. to r.: Audi of America’s Kirk Preiser, Dimmitt Auto Group CEO Scott Larguier, Quinn Porter of Wiregrass Ranch, WCCC CEO Hope Allen and Audi Wesley Chapel general manager Alan Majewski.

When it came time to move to Florida, Kirk Preiser did his homework before settling on Wesley Chapel. The Southern Region area director for Audi, responsible for the dealerships from Naples to Jacksonville, Preiser felt Wesley Chapel was the perfect spot in the middle of his market and an area that was quickly growing and would eventually have a lot to offer his family.

He admits that he had to convince his wife, however.

Then, he set his sights on convincing Audi it should join him in Wesley Chapel by opening a dealership there.

It may have taken a little longer to convince Audi than his wife, but eventually, Preiser was successful — in mid-November, Dimmitt Automotive Group’s Audi Wesley Chapel will become a reality when it opens the doors at its S.R. 56 location just east of Mansfield Blvd.

“I’ve been pitching Wesley Chapel to the president of the company for years,’’ Preiser told a gathering of local business leaders at the Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce’s Economic Development briefing last month at Pebble Creek Golf Club.

“If you’re happy,” he joked, “you can thank me.”

Preiser said the opening of the Mercedes dealership on S.R. 56 a few years ago helped make his case, proof that the area was able to support a luxury auto dealer. Lexus also has jumped into the Wesley Chapel market, and will open off S.R. 54 in December.

Audi chose Dimmitt Automotive Group to sell its high-end automobiles.

Audi A3

Dimmitt, a fourth generation company, was founded in 1924 in Clearwater by the late Larry Dimmitt, Sr., selling Fords and Buicks. Because Dimmitt had traded cars for land, becoming the second-largest landowner in Pinellas County next to the county itself, the company was able to weather the Great Depression better than most.

In 1930, Dimmitt became a Cadillac and Chevy dealer, and eventually grew into selling Land Rovers, Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Toyotas, McLarens and now, Audis. Soon, the company will add a Jaguar franchise to the family, said Dimmitt CEO Scott Larguier.

Dimmitt currently has locations in Clearwater, Pinellas Park and Sarasota.

“Most impressive, after 23 years, is that we are still a very community-minded organization,’’ Larguier said, adding that a number of Dimmitt family members serve on local boards and foundations, and host a Community Values Day at the company where employees are paid to do community service.

By landing Audi, Dimmitt will be selling one of the hottest car makers on the planet, Preiser said. It took until 2010 for Audi to sell its 100,000th car in the U.S., but only five years after that, it sold No. 200,000, while adding seven models.

“We have had a tremendous run,’’ Preiser said. “Since 2010, we’ve been taking off like a rocket.”

The new Audi Wesley Chapel dealership promises high-tech services and state-of-the-art architecture, with a luxury lounge filled with leather club chairs.

“We are building the dealership of the future,’’ Preiser said.

It will be just shy of 40,000 sq. ft., and the lot won’t host a sea of cars like other new car showrooms; instead, it will have 125-150 new Audis on hand at all times. The dealership will have 50-60 employees, and promote a progressive and relaxed environment.

It also is offering an “Inner Circle” club, with special bonuses and perks, to the first 100 patrons who buy an Audi.

And, of course, Audi Wesley Chapel will sell high-quality, technologically-advanced cars, which have dominated the Consumer Reports charts for best car in recent years.

Preiser spoke not only of Audi’s current popular models, but also looked down the road to a time when autonomous and electric cars will be the norm, and Wesley Chapel will be one of the best spots to buy what could be the best in those categories.

In May, Audi became the first company to get a license to test Level 3 autonomous cars, demoing the Audi A7 in New York (and also licenses to test cars in Nevada and California). According to Preiser, the A7 already is  performing Level 3 autonomous driving tasks, meaning it can drive unassisted at highway speeds when conditions are optimal.

Audi hopes to have its first Level 3 autonomous vehicle to market in the U.S. next year, and hopes to have Level 4 automobiles — which can do pretty much everything, even without prompts from the driver — by 2020.

It also is hoping to make a splash in the electric car market.

“We weren’t the first in the game with electric, but we won’t launch until we’re ready with an electric vehicle that is, in every way, an Audi,’’ Preiser said.

The German automaker is hoping to get the Audi e-tron Sportback to market by 2019, and it has also been revealed that Audi is exploring the possibility of thin, lightweight solar panels on the roof to help save energy and increase the range of its electric cars.

“We’re betting the farm on electric,’’ Preiser said.

Tarek’s Café Is Now Making Dinner Affordable For Everyone In New Tampa!

Even if you’ve somehow still never heard of Tarek’s Café in the Shoppes at Amberly plaza in Tampa Palms, owner Tarek Elsayed’s original Tarek’s Café on the USF Tampa campus is a 26-year institution that is packed every day with hungry — and often, cash-strapped students.

So, Tarek (photo on next page) knows how to feed you on a budget. The problem is that after a decent opening in February of last year, his Tampa Palms location — which actually took over our former office in the plaza — was soon saddled with Bruce B. Downs (BBD) Blvd. construction woes which continued until very recently.

“We’ve always done well for breakfast, but our lunch and dinner business in Tampa Palms was building until they started that construction,” says Tarek, trying to maintain his usual smile. “The construction really hurt us, but now that it’s over, I want your Neighborhood News readers to know that I now offer delicious, from-scratch food for breakfast, lunch and dinner!”

We’ll get back to breakfast and lunch in a minute, but Tarek just brought back dinner after Labor Day and he truly is offering an outstanding selection of 12 dinner entrées, all served with salad and most served with your choice of two sides — all for just $9.99! And, you can add one of Tarek’s awesome desserts and a soft drink for just $3 more.

Our office favorites are the homemade beef (there’s also veggie) lasagne, the meat loaf, the hearty beef stew and the huge serving of chicken parmigiana. I’m not a salmon lover myself, but the creamy dill sauce served on the salmon is very tasty as are sides like real mashed potatoes and fresh veggies.

Tarek also offers a variety of Middle Eastern favorites, including chicken with garbanzo beans, a hummus and falafel platter, a couscous salad with fresh mozzarella and tomato and more.

For the kids, dinner costs just $6.50 for chicken tenders, grilled cheese or a smaller burger, and all include their choice of fries or fruit.

Tarek’s is already a really convenient place for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a capacity of nearly 150 people, although the spacious dining room only has 100 or so seats as currently configured.

“This is a great place for breakfast before church or brunch after, for after youth  baseball, soccer and other sporting events and even for business meetings,” he says. “I also provide catering for up to 200 people. Just give me an idea of the menu you’d like to serve and let me do the rest.”

Breakfast & Baked Goods

Although he can’t serve pork products in his restaurant (so, no regular bacon or sausage), Tarek does an outstanding job with breakfast, too. He says people still tell him he serves the best corned beef hash in town, he made me a great egg and cheese sandwich on Cuban-style bread and people rave about his pancakes, too.

For lunch, Tarek also makes excellent gyro sandwiches with crispy French fries and a thick, juicy adult-sized burger that also is on the dinner menu.

But, if you haven’t tried Tarek’s house-baked chocolate chocolate chip muffins, his baklava or our office’s favorite — his white-chocolate-covered brownie balls you’ll kick yourself for not trying them sooner once you do.

Tarek’s Café (15345 Amberly Dr.) is open every day except Mon. for breakfast, lunch & dinner. Call (813) 252-3238 or visit TareksCafeandGrill.com.

Pipeline Swimming Growing Into One Of Tampa Bay’s Biggest & Best Swim Clubs

Swimming has always been a part of Rene Piper’s life.

She was in the pool at age 4. She swam competitively in her youth, starred on her high school team in her native Indiana, and earned a scholarship to college. She cut her coaching teeth in Sarasota, where she was a successful club coach who also started the swimming program at Lakewood Ranch High, leading it to three high school county championships. Her daughters also have been college swimmers.

So, when she was asked to take over a loose collection of swimmers in New Tampa who couldn’t seem to keep a coach longer than six months, Rene jumped at the challenge.

What started as 11 swimmers in 2013 is now 111 strong as the Pipeline Swimming Club — which has its largest of three training locations at the pool at Tampa Palms Golf & Country Club, has become Tampa Bay’s fastest-growing swim club.

It was a tragedy that originally brought Piper to Tampa Palms, as previous coach Alex Richardson left to take over at Westchase after its popular director of aquatics Kelley Allen was murdered, devastating the Tampa-area swimming community.

“They just wanted me to help,” Piper says. “There were four or five hundred swimmers (in Tampa) that were just in shock. Some of what we did was grief counseling.”

At the time, Piper was an assistant at St. Petersburg Aquatics under head coach Fred Lewis. Lewis had close ties to the Tampa club swimming community, and asked Piper if she wanted to head north and start the biggest and best swimming club in Tampa.

That may have seemed ludicrous, considering at the time there was some doubt about whether the club would even survive. Piper moved to Tampa Palms, just a half mile from the pool at the country club, and got to work.

“I really felt at home (in Tampa Palms),” Piper says. “They welcomed me in and after they’d gone through four coaches in three years. I saw it as a challenge to grow the team.”

Now, four-and-a-half years later, the club boasts 240 swimmers training at three different facilities in Tampa Palms, New Port Richey and Eastlake Woodlands.

Piper, who swam for legendary coach Doc Councilman at Indiana University in Bloomington, has brought in top coaches to help build the program and develop swimmers, like Peter Banks, former head coach and director of aquatics for the Brandon Swim & Tennis Club (BSAC) and the Blue Wave Swim Team. One of his former students, three-time U.S. Olympic gold medalist Brooke Bennett, is also on the staff at Pipeline, as well as former FSU and South African National Team swimmer Jared Pike.

With that kind of instruction, Pipeline is shooting high.

“They had four coaches who all stayed around for six months and said there was no talent in Tampa Palms, and I thought that was absolutely not true,’’ Piper says. “We think we’ll have 6-8 kids going to Olympic trials in Omaha in 2019.”

West Meadows resident Vanessa Goldblum is one of the assistant coaches, and one of the rising stars in the Pipeline program is Goldblum’s daughter McKaley.

Goldblum swam for Banks’ Blue Wave swimming program for 11 years, starring for Durant High in Plant City and at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. McKaley is a sophomore on Freedom High’s swim team.

“The first time I brought McKaley here, she just loved it,” Goldblum said. “The sport is a huge part of our lives and having Peter (Banks) here is fantastic. The staff at Pipeline is amazing and it’s like we’re one, big, happy family.”

McKaley, unlike Piper, wasn’t in the pool at four years old. Rather, she was a volleyball player much of her young athletic life, and only came out for swimming this past January. However, her rise has been meteoric. Piper projects McKaley will be a finalist (in the top 8) at the high school state meet in either the 100m or 200m freestyle distances, or both.

At McKaley’s first high school meet of the season, she won both the 200m  freestyle and the 100m backstroke.

“At that first competition, I was scared,’’ McKaley says. “But I talked with the coaches and they made me feel comfortable. They push me, but I have a lot of support from them. They make me want to get up in the morning.”

Abigail Leisure, McKaley’s teammate at Freedom, also is a member of Pipeline. Leisure is particularly strong in the breaststroke and Piper thinks she’ll be in the top three in the state in the event. Pipeline also has swimmers competing for Wharton, King, all three Wesley Chapel high schools and others.

Carly Joerin, a 14-year-old Liberty Middle schooler, was one of the original 11 swimmers that Piper inherited at Tampa Palms. Her mother Tibbie Farnsworth says that without Piper, the program would have never survived, and because of Piper, her daughter has thrived.

“I think its their approach,’’ Farnsworth said. “They are involved in the kids’ lives. And they make it fun for the kids. It’s competitive, but it’s fun. They work hard because it’s fun. They brought in a great coaching staff that has the same philosophy.”

It’s the little touches, Farnsworth says, like noticing when someone has had their braces taken off, asking about a test in school or even having nicknames for the swimmers. When Carly showed up for 5 a.m. practice on Aug. 31, her 14th birthday, the coaches were there with a cake.

“Isn’t that awesome?,’’ Farnsworth says.

Pipeline isn’t just a club for competitive swimmers, Piper says. The club offers mommy-and-me swim classes for toddlers. There is a Scare D Cats program for adults who are non-swimmers. There are active Pipeline members from five years old to 64.

“Youth swimming programs are a perfect place to find an identity,” Pike said. “Being part of a club became my identity and I stuck with it. It teaches dedication, discipline, life lessons and there’s benefit to the social aspect of it. A swimming friend is a friend for life.”

Pipeline holds tryouts every Monday and Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Tampa Palms Golf & Country Club pool at 5811 Tampa Palms Blvd. For more information, visit PipelineSwimming.com, or call 941-737-4455.
