| One man who responded to tough economic times by thinking outside of the box has saved his county tens of thousands of dollars. John Leucke is in charge of supplies for Pasco Fire and Rescue. He sorts drugs and medical supplies and ships them out to engines and rescue vehicles. While doing his job, he noticed a more efficient and cheap way of distributing the inventory. "Each unit is required to carry a certain amount of drugs, so they were outdating," Leucke said. "And each month we would surplus these drugs as they outdated." Leucke submitted a drug recycling idea to the county commission through the county's Cost Savings Award Program. His idea was approved. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

A fund-raiser was held April 13, to help Keelyn Cardona whose father was killed in action in Afghanistan Feb. 28. Keelyn Cardona, 9, is the daughter of Heather Ashby and the late Santos Cardona. Santos Cardona had been a defense contractor with American Canine and was working with a bomb detecting dog in Afghanistan, said Heather Ashby, who was Santos Cardona's companion for many years.Santos Cardona died when a Humvee in which he was riding struck an improvised explosive device and turned over, Ashby said. Keelyn Cardona lives in Land O’ Lakes with her mother. Santos Cardona and Ashby met in Germany in 1997 while both were serving in the US Army. The fund-raiser was held at Tijuana Flats, 23100 State Road 54, Lutz. A face painter or balloon artist will attend the event, Ashby said. The restaurant contributed 20 percent of sales that evening to the Keelyn Cardona fund that has been set up at Bay Gulf Credit Union for her daughter's future expenses, including college, Ashby said. People wishing to make donations to that fund (Account No. 100252) may do so in person at Bay Gulf Credit Union, 2255 Collier Pkwy., Land O’ Lakes, FL 34639. Both the account number and Keelyn Cardona’s name should be indicated on the check or deposit slip, Ashby said. Deposits may also be made by mail or in person to other Bay Gulf Credit Union branches as long as the proper identifying information is provided, Ashby said. “The community has really been wonderful” in helping her daughter, Ashby said. Ashby is a Tampa native. She got out of the Army in 2000, shortly after Keelyn was born. She and Santos Cardona lived in Land O’ Lakes for 18 months after he left the Army in August 2007 until he began his defense contractor’s position in Afghanistan. The Army allowed Cardona to keep the Belgian Malinois dog, Duco, who he had been working with while in the service. Duco lives with Ashby and Keelyn. “He was a very private person, but he cut up a lot and loved having a good time,” Ashby said of Santos Cardona. “He loved being in the military and serving his country. He enlisted when he was 18,” Ashby said. Also, Ashby said, Santos Cardona enjoyed spending as much time as possible with Keelyn, who is a third-grader at the Learning Gate Community School in Lutz.
