Land O'Lakes HS Teacher Dr. Dr. Thayer
Plots his comeback to Bodybuilding
"Doc" teaches math and sponsors "Bodybuilders," a club at Land O'Lakes High School.  After retiring from competition in 2000, when he moved here from Miami, Doc had amassed 52 trophies, 6 titles, 1 overall, and had been in FL muscle magazines dozens of times, and once in "Muscle & Fitness"  (Feb. 1998, pp. 234, 236, & 238).  Now 61, training and dieting are back in his regimen, with a "desperate attempt at coming back."  "I need to lose more body fat,"  he said, while making a great distinction between losing weight and losing fat.  "Muscle weighs more than fat.  I don't want to lose muscle, but the metabolism for old geezers like myself slows so much that I have to give up some size to lose fat.  That means no more 1000 calorie jumbo buttered popcorn cups at the movies!"

Jane Moore, Co-Owner of Discovery Point in Lexington Oaks in presenting the check to “Kids Charity of Tampa Bay” said how delighted she was to support “Kids Charity of Tampa Bay” and thanked members of the community, and local vendors for their support.  We were delighted to join with the community to raise money for this important cause.

By CLIFF GILL   Tribune correspondent

Many athletes recall childhood memories of following their dreams to excel in a particular sport. Recent Sunlake High graduate Tyler Hisamoto's drive to excel didn't rest in one sport. As a seventh-grader at Pine View Middle School, the multi-sport athlete sought to win an award given to a student who competed in every sport. The only sport he did not participate in was track. "My dad convinced me to throw the discus," he said. Under the guidance of Coach Mike Hill, Hisamoto took second place in the conference. In eighth grade, he captured first in the conference.

"You Never Know"  by Carrie Carmichael

 

It is an hour one-woman show about Carrie's lovable, quirkily prepared-for-everything Uncle Eddie.  He taught her and her 13 cousins how to "survive the dangerous maze of life."  He was generous and ultimately mysterious.  Poignant and funny, "You Never Know" takes you on a ride through generations and decades.  Come along! Show is at the Groves Community center in LOL.
