Lutz~Story by Sheila Tramontana
Martinez Middle School FFA students grow their own plants and vegetables behind their school classroom taking care of and nurturing them to sell to earn money for various projects, trips and supplies.
Advisor Derek Barber cultivated the program overseeing its growth since its inaugural year in 2002-2003 and has produced great results with student accomplishments. His students always fare well at the State Fair as well as other FFA based competitions. Alumni students love Mr. Barber and enjoyed his class very much and recall many fun memories of working in the pens and greenhouses. Each year around the holidays, Mr. Barbers FFA sells poinsettias to raise funds for the program. The students have annuals, ferns, lilies, and a wide variety of other beautiful plants which can be purchased anytime. If you would like for information on plant sales, contact Mr. Barber at Derek.Barber@sdhc.k12.fl.us

MARTINEZ MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRLS SOCCER FINISH 2008 WITH AN UNDEFEATED SEASON
By Sheila Tramontana
Martinez Middle School soccer players (from front to back) Ashelynne Hanold, Heather Zweben, and Miranda Gonzalez, bring the ball up field against Hill MS. The Martinez girls have a wonderful season finishing out 5 - 0 this year. The two top scorers for the year were C. Gonzalez and T. Valley. They each showed tremendous heart and hustle each and every game. The Goalie, Courtney Keene also had a great season and like Gonzalez and Valley will be heading off to begin their high school careers and will be greatly missed on the team. There are still several 6th and 7th graders returning next year that will keep Martinez Soccer at a very competitive level. …Martinez Middle School soccer players (from left) Marley Opila and Lauren Garris separate the Hill Middle School player from the ball. Opila, who scored the game tying goal as well as the final penalty kick in the overtime win in the final game, will be leading the charge for next years team. Coach Wynn said that he could not ask for a better group of players. They were outstanding soccer players, as well as terrific students with great attitudes. Coach Wynn and the Martinez girls invite all Lutz residents to come out to their games and support the action!

A State RC Car racing circuit comes to Lake Park every year but local enthusiasts participate weekly on the quality RC track at Lake Park. Bleacher seating is available to bring the family to watch the crazy flips and turns of these powerful little cars!
The Diffeence between Toy Remote Cars and Hobby RC Cars
The RC cars and trucks that you see on TV and in toy stores offer a great
way for young people to get involved in a rewarding hobby; however, there
are few similarities between these toy-grade vehicles and those you'll find at a
hobby shop. For example, most hobby-grade R/C vehicles are available as an
unassembled kit. You build the vehicle from the ground up, piece by piece, so
you'll know exactly how it works and how to fix it if something breaks. With few
exceptions, you'll be able to make repairs yourself without having to send it
back to the manufacturer because you'll know the vehicle inside and out.
Also, hobby-grade R/C vehicles are generally made of better materials than
toygrade vehicles, so they can withstand the severe punishment of a backyard
obstacle course or a high-speed cartwheel at the local parking lot. Hobby kits
are designed to provide long life and superior performance.
