For years, hundreds of people in Pasco camped outside Dr. Vincent J. Monticciolo's dentistry office in New Port Richey to take advantage of the one day of the year he offered free dental services. Although Monticciolo has moved his practice to Tampa, he's still hosting the free dental care event — it's just a longer hike for Pasco residents.
The event is Friday, Feb. 8 and registration begins at 7 a.m. Monticciolo Family and Sedation Dentistry is at 8327 W. Hillsborough Ave., Tampa. The volunteer team will only see the first 300 people, so people are urged to arrive early, dress for the weather and bring whatever food or supplies they need for the outdoor wait. Participants will get a free extraction, filling or cleaning.
For information, visit www.DentistryFromtheHeart.org or call the foundation office at (727) 849-2002.

Paddling Pasco Trip # 8 - Eagle Point Park to Green Key, Saturday, November 3
Paddling Pasco Trip #8, a sunset paddle, is planned for Saturday November 3rd from Eagle Point Park to Robert Rees Memorial Park
(AKA Green Key) with a bonfire on the beach at sunset. Boats will need to
be dropped off at Eagle
Point Park
between 3:30 and 4pm and vehicles will need to park at Green Key - a
shuttle will return you to your boat for a launch at 4:30pm promptly. The trip
is scheduled to be about 2 to 2.5 hours along the mangrove shoreline to include
some mangrove tunnels in the park. Sea life and sea birds in this
area is abundant and winter sunsets can be spectacular. Eagle
Point Park is located at the western end of Trouble Creek Road and
Green Key is located at the western end of Green Key Road - both
roads are off US 19 in New Port Richey.
Things to consider bringing other than
boat, paddle, PFD and whistle: drinks, snacks, camera, flashlight or head
light, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellant, chair for around the
fire and towel. If you want to register for this trip please contact
us at fbuckman@pascocountyfl.net or 813-929-2760 with names and contact information including email and phone number. This
will allow us to prepare properly. We will ask those attending to read and sign
a simple liability waiver on site before we launch. Cost will be $2 for parking.

Paddling Pasco Trip #8 - Upper Withlacoochee River, Sunday, October 28
Paddling Pasco Trip #7 on the upper
Withlacoochee River, Sunday October 28, 9am to about 11:30am.
Please meet at
the kayak launch on the river in Pasco
County’s Withlacoochee River
Park. Once we all gather,
we will access this launch location and may move to a nearby boat ramp for
easier access. A local guide in the area, Marty Warburton, will lead the
paddle. The water level is high and there will be river current, but it should
be manageable in kayaks. We hope to go up river into the Green Swamp
area. Hopefully there will be opportunities to see and take pictures of wildlife
and wild lands.
All paddlers will need to wear a PFD while on the river and
sign a waiver on site.
This trip will be unlike any of the others done along the
coast, although the trip on the upper Cotee River
did go through some of Old Florida wild lands. The trip is planned to be
approximately 2 to 2.5 hours on the water. If we launch in the park, there will
be a $2 fee.
To register or if you have any questions, please contact the Pasco County Parks & Recreation office at 813-929-2760.
Note: The park is hosting
a Native American Indian Pow-Wow this weekend, so you might want to stay a bit
to take in this event. For more information on this event please contact Withlacoochee River Park
at 352-567-0264 or 352-521-4104.
