The town is upset
with the county's
misinformation about
proposed fire and
rescue services.

By Kathy Aber

Even though the property
owners and registered voters in
Isleworth will have the final say
on whether they will be annexed
into Windermere or stay in unin-
corporated Orange County, the
town and the county are squaring
off for a fight.
Windermere's elected officials
were aggravated when the county
took three weeks to tell town staff
the Isleworth annexation report
it filed in November needed to
be resubmitted to another de-
partment. The town scheduled
an extra public hearing on the
annexation proposal due to the
delay.
But it was the Board of County
Commissioners' 80-minute dis-
cussion of the Isleworth annexa-
tion and related fire and rescue
service contracts on Dec. 18 that
really ignited the town.
Town staff was further in-
censed when they learned Isle-
worth residents had received a
recorded phone message from
Mayor Rich Crotty approxi-
mately two weeks ago, which
said, in part: "You may be aware
that Windermere wants to annex
Isleworth to increase its tax base.
Before you decide-whether an-
nexation is a good idea, I urge
you to get the whole story....
Annexation could compromise
your high level of public safety.
We willsupply you with all of
lie idnfomatioi you need toimake
an informed decision in the near
future."
Windermere Town Attorney
Tom Wilkes and Town Man-
ager Cecilia Bernier prepared
a 13-page document the day
after Christmas specifically ad-
dressing 10 assertions made by
commissioners or county staff at


By Amy Quesinberry

When Bob and Glenda
Hammons budgeted for the
construction of their new
home in Oakland, they didn't
expect to have to install a
fire hydrant on the property
as well.
Town code mandates that
a fire hydrant must lie within
500 feet of all dwellings. The
Hammons home on West
Sadler Avenue will be 608
feet from the closest hydrant,
and they will not be able to
obtain their certificate of
occupancy until a hydrant is
in place.
After discussions at
several recent meetings, the
Town Commission made a
decision: the Hammonses
must pay half the cost of the
fire hydrant, or approximately
$5,000.
The Hhmmonses had
argued that they are owner/

the Dec. 18 BCC meeting. The
memo was delivered to the BCC
this week.
In the document, Wilkes and
Bemier wrote: "The information
given out by Mayor Crotty and
his staff on Dec. 18 was wildly
inaccurate and, in several in-
stances, entirely untrue. Orange
County staff is rarely, if ever,
prone to so many errors.
"It is difficult to imagine such
a discussion occurring, unless, of
course, the staff was directed to
say things intended to disparage
the town of Windermere and to
foster opposition and resentment
agaiist it," the menmosaid.
The county currently collects
approximately $3.2 million in
tax revenues from Isleworth
property owners through MSTUs
for fire and police protection. It
would lose this revenue if the
Isleworth annexation into. Win-
dermere is approved, and Win-
dermere would gain more than


$3 million in increased income.
Isleworth land owners would see
a net decrease in property taxes
because Windermere has one of
the lowest millage rates in Or-
ange County.
In its coverage of the Dec. 18
BCC meeting in last week's is-
sue, The West Orange Times re-
ported that Orange County Fire
Chief Carl Plaugher told the
commissioners the county does
not currently Seek reimbursement
for responding to calls within the
Windermere town limits under its
automatic agreement.

refuting several assertions made
by the county at its Dec. 18 BCC
meeting:
County assertion Wind-
ermere now gets fire protection
service from Orange County for
free. In the memo, the town in-
cludes several quotes from the
meeting to illustrate this asser-


Pet

supporter

rides

1,000th mile
Oakland resident Sherry
McMahon made a New
Year's resolution for 2007 to
ride her bike one mile for ev-
ery dollar donated to a local
rescue group, A Better Life
- Pet Rescue, which was
co-founded by Rita Tikador
of Winter Garden and Jodi
Chase of Ocoee.
Nicknamed "The Rescue
Rider," McMahon pledged to
raise $1,000 in donations by
riding 1,000 miles. A surprise
donation, just in time for the
holidays, was made by the
owner of Leary Management
Group, the company where
McMahon is employed. Pres-
ident Bill Leary matched the
donation of a dollar per mile
for a contribution total of
$1,000.
McMahon hit the mark
Sunday and celebrated at the
finish line in front of Down-
town Brown's in Winter
Garden. Many of the Rescue
Rider's contributors, support-
ers and pooches were there to
cheer her on to victory.
McMahon rode the West
Orange Trail just about every
weekend to accomplish this
goal.
She is an independent ani-
mal and wildlife rescuer who,

tion, including a statement by
Mayor Crotty, "We respond in
the town of Windermere to 34
percent of the calls. They have
an agreement for fire service with
the city of Ocoee.We have a mu-
tual aid agreement with Ocoee,
so Ocoee gets paid under the
agreement and we get nothing."
Windermere's response -
"Windermere gets no free fire
service whatsoever. Windermere
pays a substantial sum to the
city of Ocoee every year, under
a legal and legitimate interlocal
agreement, for Ocoee to provide
fire protection service. For that
service during this fiscal year,
Windermere is to pay Ocoee the
sum of $170,850. In addition...,
in 2000 Windermere bought and
paid for a tanker fire truck at a
cost of $160,993 for Ocoee's fire
department to use for calls in the
town. In return for this...invest-
ment by Windermere, Ocoee is
obligated under the agreement to


provide fire protection service to
the town.
"To say that Windermere is
'getting their fire protection ser-
vice from Orange County for
free' is simply untrue," Wilkes
and Bemier wrote in the memo-
randum.
County assertion Wind-
ermere expects Orange County
to continue providing fire service
to Isleworth after its annexation,
if it occurs. "I believe in their
annexation report they say that
they're going to continue to use
Orange County Fire Rescue to
provide service into Isleworth," i
said Chief Plaugher at the Dec.
18 meeting.
Town response "Wind-
ermere has no such intentions.
Furthermore, the absence of any
such intention has been docu-
mented. In the annexation report
delivered to the county on Nov.

New Relay planned in Winter Garden


A new Relay For Life event is being organized
in Winter Garden to benefit the American Cancer
Society. Organizers are looking for committee
chairs and volunteers for the actual event, which
is set for early May.
A Committee Rally will take place Wednesday,
Jan. 16, at 6:30 p.m. at the S aneybrook West Golf


Club Restaurant. Interested persons can contact
Event Chair Alais Salvador at asalvador@cfl.

builders and not commercial
developers and should not
have to pay for a hydrant
that will benefit more than
just their home.
At the Dec. 11 meeting,
Bob Hammons told the
commission that each of
the seven homes that could
benefit from the hydrant
should have to pay an equal
portion.
The commission had
asked Larry Roberts, town
engineer, at the Nov. 13
meeting to consult with area
municipalities to find out
their policies regarding fire
hydrants. The city of Winter
Garden is the most lenient,
he said, allowing for shared
expense of the builder and the
city. Clermont puts the entire
burden on the builder.
After this discussion, the
commission voted to split the
cost of the fire hydrant with
the Hammonses.

Public safety must be the winner in the Isleworth fight


Orange County recently became
alarnied when its. commissioners
learned Windermere is attempting to
annex Isleworth a potential tax
revenue loss to the county of $3.5
million. County staff and town staff
did not thoroughly communicate how
fire/rescue and police services would
be provided to the annexed area.
Because of Windermere's fire
agreement with Ocoee, Orange
County responds in Windermere
through Orange County's mutual aid
agreement with Ocoee. Windermere
has been treated as a corer of Ocoee,
as far as fire protection is concerned.
In 2007, the county responded to
55 of'Windermere's 186 calls .for
service. Yet, the county did not seek
reimbursement for these calls under


its mutual aid agreement with Ocoee.
Commissioner Teresa Jacobs
pointed out that Windermere was
being unfairly criticized. "If we
don't like the terms of the agreement,
shame on us," said Jacobs at the Dec.
18 BCC meeting. "We need to have
a consistent policy and charge for
service when we provide service."
If this annexation occurs,
Windermere will need to provide
these services and pay the provider,
whichever department responds. The
most important thing is for adequate
fire/rescue and police protection so
residents feel secure. And voters
should be given clear and correct
information on how these needs
will be met, if the annexation is
approved.

The company has also
revitalized its hiring and

Isleworth
14, Windermere said, "Upon
annexation, the city of Ocoee
Fire Department, contracted
by the town of Windermere,
will provide fire prevention
and protection services.
"The town's annexation re-
port could not be more direct
and unequivocal: Ocoee will
provide the service to Isle-
worth if it is annexed. Win-
dermere does not expect arid
has never expected Orange
County 1d provide fire service
within the town, regardless of
what may be annexed. When
Chief -Plaugher responded
otherwise to Commissioner
Stewart's question, he was
wrong," the town said in its
memo.
SCounty assertion The
County Commission should
not modify its automatic aid
agreement with Ocoee to re-
quire county fire service in
Isleworth after annexation.
County Administrator Ajit La-
Ichandani said repeatedly dur-
ing the County Commission
discussion that the County
Commission should not mod-
ify its agreement with Ocoee
to obligate the county to con-
tinue providing fire service in
Isleworth after its annexation,
should it occur.
As reported in the 7Tmes
article last week concerning.
the BCC meeting Dec. 18,
Lalchandani said, "I would
not recommend to you that
Orange County Fire Rescue
modify the automatic aid
agreement and include Isle-
worth in it. That would be fi-
nancial suicide."
Town response "Wind-
ermere agrees wholeheartedly.
Windermere needs to provide
fire service to its citizens and
properties, either by itself or
.through somebody else, and
it does so. It has its contract
with Ocoee, and the fire ser-
vice now provided to town
citizens and properties by the
Ocoee Fire Department is out-
standing.
"To our knowledge, no
elected official or staff at
Windermere have ever asked
Orange County to modify the
automatic aid agreement to
add Isleworth, should it be an-
nexed, to the parts of Ocoee's
fire-service area to which Or-
ange County will respond,"
said the town.
SiCounty assertion After
its annexation, it will take two


(Continued from IA)


to three minutes longer for
emergency medical services
to arrive in Isleworth.
Town response -- "We un-
derstand that EMS for Isle-
worth is provided currently by
Health Central, not by Orange
County. If that is correct, and
if annexation of Isleworth oc-
curs, the EMS provider will
not change. Furthermore,
Health Central keeps para-
medics stationed in downtown
Windermere, so the response
time to Isleworth is excellent
now and will stay excellent
after annexation.
"The County Commission
and the public would have


been better served if someone
on the county's staff had been'
willing to remedy the misun-
derstanding," wrote Wilkes
and Bernier.
In the memorandum, Wind-
ermere also refutes, with spe-
cific references, the county's
claim that Windermere is the
only city that gets fire service
from Orange County "for
free," that Hunter's Creek and
other county taxpayers are
effectively paying for Win-
dermere's fire service, that
Windermere refused to release
public records and consents
executed by Isleworth prop-
erty owners and that the town


attorney prohibited county
staff from talking to town staff
and demanded all communi-
cations go through the town
attorney.
To read the town's memo-
randum in its entirety, go to
the Times Web site at www.
wotimes.com.
There will be a public hear-
ing this Thursday, Jan. 3, at
7 p.m. at Windermere Town
Hall to discuss the Isleworth
annexation. Another public
hearing is set for Tuesday, Jan.
8, also at 7 p.m. at Town Hall.
A mail ballot referendum on
the annexation will be-held in
March.

The Olympia and West Or-

soccer teams held a backyard
battle during the holiday break,
with the rival Titans and War-
riors playing to a 1-1 tie.
Both teams fought hard
throughout the first half, and

to keep the game scoreless.
West Orange opened the scor-
ing, though, with a successful
penalty kick to take a 1-0 lead
into halftime.
In the second half, Olym-
pia attacked West Orange re-
peatedly- but could not break


through a strong Warrior de-
fense to make many shots on

remaining, the Titans finally
scored when midfielder Vinny
Torres played a through ball to
Diogo Ferreira, who held off'
three defenders and nailed the
game-tying kick.
Later in the week, Olympia
traveled to Gateway High and
picked up a 2-0 victory. After
a scoreless first half, the Ti-
tans got on the scoreboard in
the 46th minute when a long
throw-in from Tyson Pryor
was slammed toward the goal
by Jean Jerry Muse. After the


ball rebounded off a defender,
Scott McGarigal knocked in
the goal.
Just two minutes later, an-
other long throw by Pryor was
headed in for a 2-0 lead. Titan
midfielders Aron Hotalen,
James Gossmann, Roberto
Arias, Andrew Tungate and
Sean Gossmann, along with
Andrew Duncanson and Tor-
res took command in the sec-
ond half. Pryor, Tungate and

fense.

Frangus Elementary has gone green. Each classroom has appointed an environmental
ambassador to help their class learn to recycle, reduce and reuse everyday. Pictured is
Mrs. Paddy teaching Emily Doherty, Megan Doherty, Dominic Smith and Cody Flynn to
trim and care for the roses in front of the school. These ambassadors learned how to
wash the leaves with soapy water and will be on the look out for bugs, as well as new
blooms.

After reading the story of 'The Gingerbread Man,' kindergarten classes at Tildenville
Elementary made a Gingerbread Man and brought him to the cafeteria to be baked.
When the classes came to pick him up, they found he had jumped out of the oven and
was running loose in the school. The students searched everywhere, looking for trails of
flour, raisins and even red-hot candies, but they couldn't find him. Finally Principal Lane
and Assistant Principal Montgomery found him and delivered him to each classroom,
where students enjoyed eating their huge gingerbread cookie. Pictured is Julie Hunter
with her class admiring the return of their Gingerbread Man.

Citrus Elementary loves to give back to the community. The Student Council collected
toys for the Toys for Tots program. The students dropped off 6 boxes and bags full of
new unwrapped toys at the Ocoee Police Department to benefit needy children. The
Student Council also organized a canned food drive for 21 Citrus families. The faculty
and students brought in non-perishable food, and the PTA provided turkeys or hams for
each family. In addition, the Student Council made wreaths for the Summerville Nursing
Home across from the school.

As I See It...
A Comment & Study of the Scriptures Remembering George Gano


"But I want you to know, brethren, that the
things which happened to me have actually
turned out for the frrtherance of the gospel,
so that it has become evident to the whole pal-
ace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains
are in Christ."
'Philippians 1:12,13


First of all, God wants us to know that all
things work together for His good. God is able
to take our present situation and mold it toward
the furtherance of the Gospel. Even what may
look like a bad situation can become an op-
portunity to be a witness of Jesus Christ.
Who knows what God will do? If we will
remain true to the faith, and refuse to compro-
mise our belief, God will use us in a mighty
way. If we, on a daily basis, continue to walk
the talk of our faith in Christ, others will begin
to believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our faith in Jesus Christ should be evident
to everyone around us. People.should see, hear,
and experience a difference when they are near
us. We should be living examples of God's
righteousness. .People should know that we
are Christians and we shouldn't hide the truth
of our faith in Christ.
It's time for us to stand up and be bold in
our faith, regardless of situations or people. It
was evident to the prison guards that Apostle
Paul was a Christian. HFe spoke with boldness
of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
We're not chained to the world anymore,
we are chained to Christ, a new creation in
Him, old things have passed away. We have a
new walk, a new talk, a new mind and a new
spirit. We shouldn't act like we used to; we
are not chained to our old lifestyle anymore!

Program have donated a total
of one million grains of rice by
answering 50,000 vocabulary
word questions correctly.
The questions are posed on
the Web site at www.freerice.

earns 20 grains of rice to be
donated to the World Food
Program. It is the largest
aid organization for fighting
hunger.
Cohen said, "My students
love the fact they are learning
new knowledge and helping
people at the same time."
Students told him they feel
that many grains of rice are
something to celebrate, and
they will continue their efforts to
feed hungry people worldwide.
