Lansbrook Pornographer Stan Antonuk Accused of Prostitution

Stan and Monique Antonuk live in the Juniper Bay neighborhood of Lansbrook. Stan Antonuk has been accused of operating an obscene business through his Kowabunga company that publishes obscene pornographic materials, promote and sponsor wife-swapping sex parties, operating a sex business without any age verification controls to prevent children from attending, and operating a prostitution ring.

Stan Antonuk and his Kowabunga pornography, adult entertainment and advertising company where recently published in the St. Petersburg Times. A self described religious organization which seems to have been very instrumental in bringing charges against Paul Little (recently sentenced to prison for a very long time for 10 counts of obscenity) was apparently falsely claiming ties to the Countryside Christian Center: http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/article706880.ece

This article does seem to verify Antonuk’s obscene pornography business, his ties to the swinging lifestyle and these wife-swapping sex parties, as well as his businesses association with the nudist community. In fact, the nudist community of Caliente located in Land O’ Lakes Florida seems to be very upset that Antonuk and his business are promoting their wife swapping sex parties in their community.

While its not clear what association Antonuk has with Paul Little, it is clear that much of the content on Antonuk’s pornographic websites is obscene and now that his activities have been brought to the attention of Chief Assistant State Attorney Bruce Bartlett it will not be long until Antonuk is facing his own obscenity charges.

These are not the type of values that we should be promoting in our neighborhood. Allowing a man like Antonuk to live and socialize among our families will not only threaten the tranquility and family values of our community but also severely threaten our property values as this story continues to gain first local and then national attention.

ENGINEERING PROGRAM COMING TO CARWISE MIDDLE New electives offer hands-on experience with Math and Science

What an exciting year we have ahead of us! Carwise Middle School, in collaboration with the Academy of Engineering at East Lake High School, is proud to announce that we will begin offering a series of pre-engineering courses beginning this upcoming year. In line with the new state Math and Science standards and supporting the national STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) initiative, we have adopted the middle school curriculum called Gateway To Technology ™. GTT® is a part of Project Lead The Way®, a national, not-for-profit educational program that helps give middle and high school students the rigorous ground-level education they need to develop strong backgrounds in Science and Engineering.

What began as a brainstorming session for meaningful electives for the new 7-opportunity schedule grew into a series of talks between teachers and administration at Carwise and J. Paul Wahnish of ELHS to develop a program to spark student interest in industrial/technical education. We felt there was a need for a series of electives that would provide all levels of students with a hands-on experience with real-world Math and Science. The program will be open to 7th and 8th grade students as a year-long wheel elective, and will be supplemented by a robotics club that will hopefully participate in US FIRST robotics competitions.

This program would not have been possible if it were not for the support of our administration and the Career Technical Education Foundation, Inc., a 501(c) (3) non-profit corporation, (formerly known as the East Lake High School Robotics Boosters, Inc.). CTEF is committed to building partnerships that will support the highest quality educational and career opportunities for students served by Pinellas County Schools. We have also partnered with Pinellas County Schools’ Workforce Education office, which has recognized the need for our students to explore career paths in industrial and technology-based fields. Carwise will be the first middle school in the county to offer this curriculum.

If you would like to learn more about the curriculum, how your child may participate, and how you or those in the business community can support the launch and continued success of this program, we will be hosting an information night at Carwise Middle School before the start of school. Please join us! We need your support. Sincerely, The Carwise Engineering Team Marcia Daniels – Science Kat Rocheleau – Math James Wallace – Math

Our Own Congressmen Gus Bilirakis Exceeds $1 Million for Re-Election

Our own freshman Rep. Gus Bilirakis, R-Palm Harbor, has raised more than $1 million for his re-election fund which makes him the second Tampa Bay area congressman to raise at least $1 million, exceeding $1.05 million.

Bilirakis joins Rep. Adam Putnam, R-Bartow, in reaching that fundraising plateau, with Putnam's total now more than $1.35 million.

These new numbers are detailed in the latest campaign committee filings with the Federal Election Commission this week, reflecting fundraising and spending from January 2007 through the end of June.

They show that all five of the Bay area's members of Congress - Putnam, Bilirakis, Democrat Kathy Castor of Tampa, and Republicans Ginny Brown-Waite of Brooksville and C.W. "Bill" Young of Indian Shores - continue to stock their war chests at rates dwarfing the amounts of the hopefuls seeking to unseat them.

Please join me in congratulating Representative Bilirakis and wishing him the best of luck in this fall’s election!

Sheriff to Address Palm Harbor Coalition

The Palm Harbor Community Coalition has invited Pinellas County Sheriff James Coats to speak at a community meeting on Thursday, June 26th at 7 p.m. to explain to the citizens of Crystal Beach, Ozona, Palm Harbor and East Lake how the recently proposed budget cuts to the Sheriff’s budget would impact this community of nearly 100,000 residents. The meeting will be held at the Palm Harbor Community Activity Center at 1500 16th Street in Palm Harbor. The public is invited to attend this meeting and ask questions.

The proposed budgets cuts would eliminate the Community Policing Unit in Palm Harbor and East Lake; would eliminate the Traffic patrols for North County; and would eliminate the DUI unit for all of Pinellas County.

The mission of the Palm Harbor Community Coalition is to plan and work together as a coalition of individuals and community groups, to identify and advocate community needs and ensure the return of our FAIR SHARE of tax dollars to Greater Palm Harbor.

Lansbrook GI Gets Tricked-Out Homecoming Surprise

Kyle Willard always wanted a 1995 Honda Civic. For 14 months, while he served as an Army infantryman in Iraq, he told his wife to get him that car.

He returned home last month.

As far as he knew, she'd failed. But on Thursday night, his wife and friends surprised him at Auto Audio in Palm Harbor with a tricked-out, rebuilt 1995 Honda Civic in his favorite color, gunmetal gray.

"When they turned the lights on, my heart dropped," Willard said. "I was stunned. I had no clue.

"I've been wanting one for a long time, been working real hard to save my money. It was one of my goals when I got back from Iraq to get one."
