I have just found out that Wal-mart Stores Inc. has decided they would not pursue a new supercenter at Plaza Collina. Ya think? We already had one just a few miles down the street. When I first heard that Plaza Collina had landed Walmart as their "anchor", I was kind of surprised. I had always thought that Plaza Collina was supposed to be a bunch of upscale stores...Walmart just didn't seem to fit that bill.
Does losing Walmart change the landscape of the Plaza? Not sure, but developers of the Collina project have said they will continue moving forward despite losing Walmart.
So, what store will replace Walmart as the new anchor? I don't know, but here is a store that I think would do great in South Lake County...Bass Pro Shop. With all of the great lakes and fishing in this area, how do we not have one yet? Come on Plaza Collina Developers...make it happen!!!
What stores/restaurants would you like to see in Lake County? State your opinion, you never know who is reading!!!
Until next time...

Clermont Christian Academy to Host a Basketballathon
What is a basketballathon? It is an opportunity for students, parents, and friends to help raise money for the school through pledges from the community. Donors can pledge a certain amount per basket made by the Chargers in their February 29th game with CHEF or simply make a flat donation. All the money raised will be used in the general operation needs of the academy to keep the tuition costs affordable to CCA's school families.
Meet the boys who will be shooting for your money!

Front Row: From Left: Coach Tom Edinger, Michael Pereira, Khustin Guadamuz, Bryan Howard, Christian Weidler, Sam Karp, Michael Mosquera.
Back Row: From Left: Mark Tait, Jesse, Pereira, Charles Green, BJ Williams, Jonathon Morgan, Brad Boswell.
Good Luck Fellas!! Go Chargers!!
Until next time....

A Word from the Coach
"Coming into this season, I didn't know what to expect. My experience has always been in coaching boys teams...I had been very successful at that. The difference in these girls from the first day of practice until now is night and day. These girls are learning to push themselves harder than they thought possible. Don't get me wrong, we have ALONG way to go. We are working hard this year. Trying to teach them the game of basketball. Our hard work is not translating to wins right now, but I guarantee you this...In 2-3 years, people of this area will know who the Clermont Christian Academy Lady Chargers are. Write that down." -Johnny Davis
Until next time...
