Winter Garden voters to pick mayor, commissioner Tuesday


By Michael Laval

Five candidates will be on Winter
Garden's ballot in the Jan. 29 municipal
election. The city must decide a three-
way race for mayor, while District 1 vot-
ers will choose their next representative
on the City Commission. As a result of
changes made to the City. Charter last
year, terms lengths on the commission
will increase from two to three years.
The West Orange Times asked each
candidate questions, and their responses
follow:

Mayor
Incumbent Jack Quesinberry is run-
ning for his ninth consecutive term


as may6r. He is challenged by Mack
McLaughlin and former commission
member John Rees.
Why do you wish to serve as may-
or?
McLaughlin: This journey began
nearly seven years ago when my oldest
son entered first grade at Lake \Whit-
ney Elementary School. I began my
involvement with the PTA on the dad's
committee, which I have now chaired
for the past five years and have been
involved with many school rezonings
in our community.'
Rezoning is a very difficult and frus-
trating process for parents, and not once
have the city's leaders stepped in to
help our residents understand and work


through this process to ease their pain.
Quesinberry: I have the experience
and proven leadership and work well
with all the city's staff and employees.
I like to serve the citizens of our great
city, and as mayor, I have the oppor-
tunity to help people from all over the
city. I put my personal phone number
on my business cards so every citizen
can call me directly if they need assis-
tance or want to give me their opinion
on an issue.
I have been blessed with excellent
health, my mind is sharp, and I want to
continue helping in any way I can.
Rees: I have always felt a responsibil-
ity to take part in serving our community
in which I have been a lifelong resident.


Larger-than-life Lincoln Logs
Oakland Nature Preserve board members Darla Miller (left) and Mona Phipps are waist-deep in logs,
which are being used to construct the new environmental education building at ONP. The logs are white
pine from Vermont and were selected because they are 'farmed' in sustainable forests by the log com-,
pany. They arrived a few weeks ago, and the building is moving along one layer of logs at a time. When
finished, the tin-roofed center will be a replica of a pioneer homestead cabin.


W.G. Rec moving

all programs to old

Dillard elementary site


The city has
purchased and
will renovate the
old Dillard Street
Elementary building.

By Amy Quesinberry

The city of Winter Garden
has a plan that will breathe new
life into the old Dillard Street
Elementary School.
The facility has sat empty
since January 2004 when
Orange County Public Schools
built a new DSES campus
across the street. The old school
was closed because of severe
mold and moisture issues in
2001, and students were taught
in portables.
The classrooms many
of them built, in 1951 -
were demolished in 2004,
but the offices, cafeteria and
auditorium remain standing.


And those buildings are where
the city will move its Recreation
Department.
According to City Manager
Mike Bollhoefer, the city plans
to renovate the facilities and
turn them into Winter Garden's
recreation campus.
"We will consolidate all our
activities into one location," he
said.
Jay Conn, director of
Parks and Recreation, added:
"Relocating all of our recreation
staff to this location makes
perfect sense. Our staff needs
to be on site where most of our
programming will take place
for the sake of efficiency and
for being able to better serve the
patrons of the facility."
Bollhoefer said it took three
years to complete negotiations
for the eight-acre site. The
city paid $500,000 last year,
to Orange County Public

(See Recrewtion, 16A)


Winter Garden has been an ideal place
to live and raise a family.
As mayor, I can continue my service
and give back to the community that has
provided so much for me. I wish to help
preserve, protect and extend our city's
unique character to residents not only
today but in the future.
Why do you feel you are the best
candidate for the position?
McLaughlin: Throughout my career
in college and in business, I have been
able to bring disparate groups together
under a common goal to effect change,
and I believe I can do the same for the
residents of Winter Garden. I don't

Ocoee hires
Charter Schools
USA as consultant
Ocoee continues its study
of the charter schools issue.

By Mary Anne Swickerath
..Ocoee now has a contract with a charter-
flsch61consultant, Charter Schools USA, to
conduct community meetings and to meet
with the Orange County School Board regard-
ing the possibility of the city opening a charter
school or converting one of its existing schools
to a charter school.
Last week, the City Commission unani-
mously approved the contract with Charter
Schools USA for an amount not to exceed
$20,000. All work is to be done on. an hourly
basis with regular reports to the commission.
The company estimates it will take 15-20
hours to coordinate and conduct meetings
with county school officials to evaluate the
city's options and 20-30 hours to help de-
velop a steering committee of community
leaders to support charter-school develop-
ment in Ocoee. In addition, the company
plans to spend an estimated eight hours per
community outreach event whose purpose
is to inform citizens and solicit support.

Winter Garden renovating Zanders Park,
building new amenities on south side


By Amy Quesinberry

The city of Winter Garden has two park
projects in the works one to renovate
Zanders Park on the east side and the other
to build a new park south of West Colonial
Drive near the Winter Garden Cemetery.
Zanders Park was built in 1966 to serve the
residents in east Winter Garden. It included
a small playground, some picnic tables and
two basketball courts with bleachers. Bouler
Pool was built two years later.
The city is 10 months into the project that
will change the face of the park. No longer
will Klondike Street run east between 10th
to 11th streets; instead, it'will become a cul-
de-sac just east of 10th. This will allow the
city to expand the park without the dangers
associated with a road cutting through.
The plan for Zanders Park includes
expanding the deck on the pool, adding a
picnic pavilion with restrooms and creating
a new play area for 5- to 12-year-olds: A
wandering pathway will connect the different
amenities. The existing play area for younger
children will remain near the pool, and the
basketball courts and bleachers will remain
to the north.
The old park had not been renovated


in many years, said City Manager Mike
Bollhoefer, and it didn't meet the city's
standards for a neighborhood park. It lacked
a covered pavilion, restrooms and sufficient
landscaping.
"We are extremely excited about the
facelift this park is going to receive," said
Jay Conn, the city's director of parks and
recreation. "Zanders Park is one of the most
used parks in the city, and we're sure the
residents will be happy with the results.
"Klondike Street, which runs between
Bouler Pool and the rest of the park, has
always been a huge safety concern for us,"
he added. "We've been very lucky that no
children have been seriously hurt as they
crossed the street between the pool and the
park."
Renovations to Zanders Park should be
finished in May. The work, when completed,
will cost $995,000. According to Bollhoefer,
$585,000 comes from a Community
Development Block Grant from Orange
County, $300,000 is from the local-option
gas taxes, and $110,000 was used from
general revenue funds.
A new 20-acre park is being created in

Local police and fire reports


Artist rendering of the sus-
pect in an attempted sex-
ual battery in Ocoee.

Attempted sexual
battery
On Saturday, Jan. 12, at ap-
proximately 8 a.m., a female
victim was opening a local sa-
lon on West Silver Star Road
for business. An unknown
male entered the salon and
asked to use the restroom.
The suspect grabbed the
victim and pulled her into a
backroom where he forcefully
began pulling off her clothes
in an attempt to sexually as-
sault her.
Police report that a nearby
business owner heard the vic-
tim's screams and was able to
interrupt the sexual assault.
The suspect ran out of the
salon door and entered the
passenger side of a dark-col-
ored Honda. The vehicle had
an after-market spoiler and
grand-effect kit. The driver
was unknown.
The victim suffered minor
cuts and bruises and was treat-
ed at the scene by the Ocoee
Fire Department. The name
of the victim was withheld
by police due to the nature of
the crime.
Ocoee police responded,
conducted an attempted sex-
ual battery investigation and

Opinion


- In our opinion

Editorials


Rees and Jowers are the best choice for Winter Garden


Mayor Jack Quesinberry can be
proud of his legacy in Winter Garden.
He has served as mayor for 16 years
during, unprecedented change in the
city. Two years ago he stepped up and
stood strong through a contentious
election that allowed Winter Garden to
avoid seriously misguided leadership.
We were proud to endorse him then as
we have many times over the years.
Part of the success of that campaign
two years ago can be attributed to John
Rees' decision to back away from that
race. Had he run, a split vote may
well have put the wrong candidate
in office. Rees demonstrated that the
well-being of the city was what was
most important to him, and he made
that decision with the understanding
that it was the mayor's last race.
The mayor says the change of heart
is due to his desire to see projects
finished that he has started. When
leaving office, every mayor will have
to walk away from unfinished projects,
and in this case they are in the hands
of a very competent city staff.
We believe that John Rees is a strong,
independent voice for Winter Garden
with -a genuine desire to serve. He


will bring strong business experience
and leadership to the job. We feel
that rumors of Rees being tied to
another commissioner are completely
unfounded and that Rees is his own
person and will serve the interest of all
of Winter Garden north and south
- equally.
The third candidate for mayor, Mack
McLaughlin, also has solid business
experience and a passion for serving
his community. He has bold ideas that
include a strong desire to fix schools
and help his own district. While well-
intentioned, we're not convinced
that McLaughlin could push his
agenda without alienating the City
Commission and the Orange County
School Board.
In the District 1 Commission race,
Gerald Jowers has proved to work
well with the current commission and
has been an important link between
the north and south interests of the
city. Jowers has rounded out a well-
balanced commission.
In Winter Garden The West Orange
Times, endorses John Rees for mayor
and Gerald Jowers for District 1
commissioner.


Editor,

With regard to the article "Country road catch-
ing-up with changing landscape," I found this
article very helpful as this information is not
easily found.
As a resident of Winter Garden living in one
of the neighborhoods adjacent to "Segment A"
of the 535 reconstruction I am both angered and
concerned.
I have serious concerns about the safety of
this segment of road. The traffic burden on this
segment of the road has been steadily increasing
since the opening of the 429 and has continued
to grow since the opening of the Fowlers Grove
mall. In addition to the increased work-related
traffic there is now the additional burden of shop-
ping and dinner traffic, While I agree that this
progress is excellent for both convenience and
the modernization of Winter 'Garden, it has to
be done smartly.
Since the opening of the 429 there have been
an increasing number of automobile accidents
in Segment A, including one recently that had
the entire segment shut down for several hours
at 535 and Tilden road.
It is time that the city or the county step up and
do something about this safety concern. Turning


into or out of the neighborhoods in this section is
very dangerous. Using Tilden Road or exiting or
entering the businesses on 535 is also dangerous.
I have seen people pass in the turn lanes. I have
waited as much as 10 minutes to get out of my
neighborhood and watched myself and others
make risky turns because there are little or no
gaps in traffic.
We need a traffic light at Tilden Road and 535.
We need wider lanes with a center turn lane. We
need this done sooner not later. Having this proj-
ect start in 2009 and then take 18-20 months is
irresponsible and ultimately is going to result in
more car accidents and possibly even fatalities.
With the increased tax base in Winter Garden
due to the increase population as well as the addi-
tion of the Fowler Grove mall, the City and/or the
County owes the residents of Winter Garden, the
residents of the Segment A neighborhoods and
anyone who travels on this section of 535 a safe
passageway. 2009 is not soon enough. Eighteen
to 20 is too long to complete 1.37 miles of road
and to increase the traffic burden on an already
overburdened area.
Jeff Ketts

(535 Segment A Resident)


The outpouring of admiration and affection
for George took me by surprise. I always
knew he had many friends but, I suppose,
after living closely with someone for 53 years
one is inclined to take too much for granted
and not always know what's going on. It was
truly amazing to find how many lives he had
touched, often quite quietly. He wasn't looking
for recognition, but he accepted it graciously
and always appreciated it. He loved his years
of "newspapering" and had such a love affair
with West Orange.
We hope to thank personally everyone
who did so much for the Bailey family at this
difficult time. We were all so grateful for the


Author unknown
Lord, Thou knowest better than I know
myself that I am growing older and will some
day be old. Keep me from the fatal habit
of thinking I must say something on every
subject and on every occasion. Release me
from craving to straighten out everybody's
affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody;
helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of
wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all, but
Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends
at the end.
Keep my mind free from the recital of
endless details; give me wings to get t6 the
point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains.
They are increasing, and love of'rehearsing
them is becoming sweeter as the years go by.

many kindnesses and generosity. If you don't
hear from us right away please know how
much we appreciate the wonderful tribute
given to. George Bailey. Though he may not
have agreed, we know he deserved it. Thank
you, thank you!
Anne Bailey

Note: George Bailey left instructions for his
memorial service that included a prayer that
was read by the Rev. Tom Rutherford. After
the service, so many people asked for a copy
of the so we're printing it below.


I dare not ask for grace enough to enjoy the
tales of others' pains, but help me endure them
with patience.
I dare not ask for improved memory,
but for a growing humility and a lessening
cocksureness when my memory seems to
clash with the memories of others. Teach me
the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be
mistaken.
Keep me reasonably sweet; I do not want
to be a saint some of them are so hard to
live with but a sour old person is one of
the crowning works of the devil. Give me
the ability to see good things in unexpected
places, and talents in unexpected people. And,
give me, O Lord, the grace to tell them so.
Amen.

Reader suggests learning about flag code


Editor:

As I drive throughout our city of Winter
Garden, I am bombarded by election signs
soliciting my vote. As a veteran, I generally
expect and support this; however, this time one
thing galls me the misuse of the American
flag on the signs. I realize candidates want
to be considered patriotic by the public, but
misusing the flag puts out just the opposite
belief.
My commanding officer in the Air Force had
a saying for us: "If you haven't done complete
staff action on this report, don't send it to me."


Editor:

I have written and written about efforts
to protect the Wekiva and its contributing
springs. I have written that protecting the
Wekiva does not include requiring super
expensive septic systems with wastewater
spray fields in people's yards. Now comes an
issue that is about protecting the Wekiva and
drinking water.
During its last regular session, the Florida
Legislature created the Consumer Fertilizer
Task Force. The task force is charged with
developing recommendations to the Legis-
lature regarding education and use, manage-
ment strategies and regulation of consumer
fertilizer. The report of the task force went
to the Legislature Jan. 15 and is available for
review at the following website link: http://
consensus.fsu.edu/Fertilizer-Task-Force/
pdfs2/Fertilizer_Task_Force_Final_Re-
port11408-3.pdf
The report of the Consumer Fertilizer
Task Force is critical to the protection of the
Wekiva River, Rock Springs Run and their
contributing springs. The report will be the
basis of legislation regulating several items
relating to fertilizer. Fertilizer is a known
pollutant to surface water and ground water.
The Wekiva River has elevated nitrogen lev-
els. Those elevated levels are likely from fer-
tilizer applied to the ground 20 years ago.
The Wekiva Parkway and Protection
Act sets standards to protect the Wekiva
"'sorineshed. The Wekiva Stildv Area has


Complete staff action on politicians means
Googling the U.S. Flag Code before putting
out campaign literature. The flag is never
ever to be flown upside down as it appears
on one of our local campaign signs. The U.S.
Flag Code states, "The flag should never be
displayed with the union down, except as a
signal of dire distress in instances of extreme
danger to life or property." Is this candidate's
campaign in dire distress?

Winter Garden


many regulations that are more rigorous than
standards in the rest of Florida. Those rules
impact wastewater treatment, landfills, water
policy and land use.
It is important that the Consumer Fertilizer
Task Force report enable the ability of local
residents to protect the river and its springs
of the Wekiva Study Area. The residents of
the Wekiva Study Area have addressed and
accepted the impacts of the Wekiva Park-
way and Protection Act. The residents of the
Wekiva Study Area, every day, pay a sub-
stantial price to ensure the condition of the
Wekiva River.
The residents, not some big business,
should have a say in rules regarding fertilizer
in the Wekiva Study Area. One size fits all is
not a good fertilizer policy for Florida. The
Wekiva Study Area has higher benchmarks
in many regulations than the rest of Florida.
If it is necessary for the Wekiva Study area to
add regulations to complete the task of pro-
tecting the Wekiva River, it must be allowed
to do so.
The Wekiva Basin Commission is charged
with all things related to implementation of
the Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act. It
will be interesting to see whether at its next
meeting the commission takes a position re-
garding the Wekiva Study Area's relation-
ship to fertilizer rules set by the Legislature.

service, we'll be able to fill these
gaps.
"We don't consider ourselves
as sales people but rather as fi-
nancial advisors," Said contin-
ued. "We try to help our clients
determine what they can afford
over the long term, not how large,
of a loan we can get approved'
for them."
At the time of closing, all

SNAP DECISIONS
You have only been looking for
two weekends and have found a
house that looks perfect! You
want to buy it, but you are reluc-
tant to make an offer without look-
ing at more properties.
Whether you are in a buyer's or
seller's market, the best homes
usually get snapped up quickly.
When you find a great home that
you like, you may not have much
time to think it over. But it is dif-
ficult to make such an enormous
purchasing decision without at
least "sleeping on it". If you hesi-
tate, you could lose the house to
another buyer. If you go rushing
forward, you may spend some
time nursing a case of "Buyer's
Remorse". Working with a real
,estate professional can help ease
your concerns. Your agent can
provide information about recent
sales of homes in the area and
answer any questions you may
have. Keep in mind that a real
estate agent's job is to find you a
property that you want to buy, not
to show you a lot of houses that
won't interest you!
If you would like to talk further
about buying or selling real estate,
please contact Libby Tomyn CRS
at Century 21 Professional Group.

MACK MCLAUGHLIN


JACK QUESINBERRY


JOHN REES


GERALD JOWERS PAM STEWART


Winter Garden election


believe that our current administra-
tion has the vision or the real desire
to bring our city together as a whole
and that is a priority for me.
Quesinberry: Sixteen years as a
proven leader as mayor of a com-
mission that has made many positive
changes for the community. I want
to continue to serve the city that has
proven to be one of the best places in
Florida to live, work, play and now
shop.
Rees: My education, my 12 years
on the City Commission and my
work as president and COO of Silver
Springs Citrus give me the experi-
ence necessary to be mayor.
My strengths in finance, budgeting
and future projections are important,
but just as important is my ability to
work with people and listen to their
concerns with an open mind in order
to make the best decisions for the
city of Winter Garden.
What do you feel are the most
important issues facing Winter
Garden and why?
McLaughlin: I believe the current
administration has had tunnel vision
when it comes to Winter Garden and
most of that vision begins on West
Plant Street and ends with East Plant
Street. It is time that District 3 and
District 4 got their fair share of the
tax revenues and impact fees gener-
ated and became a true part of Winter
Garden.
Schools and education is one of
the most important issues for many
of our Winter Garden families. I will
lead the charge as mayor for contin-
ued improvements and will not be
satisfied until each of our elementa-
ry, middle and high schools achieve
the excellence they are capable of
achieving with strong leadership
and community support. I will rally
the community around West Orange


High and make its success a focal
point for Winter Garden.
School overcrowding is a problem,
especially here in Winter Garden. I
believe the entities that allow devel-
opment, the county and municipali-
ties, can no longer continue to point
a finger at Orange County Public
Schools every time a resident com-
plains about their school. It was they,
after all, who approved the develop-
ments to build their tax base.
Keeping our taxes low is anoth-
er issue. The city, in recent years,
should have done the prudent thing
and rolled back our [property] taxes.
None of the many parks, fields and
pavilions in Winter Garden are lo-
cated in District 4, and very few are
located in District 3. As mayor, I will
work hard to find alternative sources
of funding to continue the work for
implementing the city's Parks Mas-
ter Plan.
Growth management is one of
the toughest issues we face today.
We should be buying property for
schools, parks, fire and police sta-
tions now. Also, economic diversity
- we do not have enough living-
wage and higher-wage jobs in Winter
Garden.
Quesinberry: I believe it is impor-
tant to have the consistent leadership
of an experienced mayor to complete
important projects that the city staff
and commission have started, in-
cluding transportation issues such as
four-laning County Road 545, com-
pleting the widening of County Road
535, four-laning East Plant Street
from Dillard Street to the State Road
429 Beltway and installing traffic
lights at Plant Street and West Crown
Point Road.
Other important issues include
finding ways to complete the two
parks in south Winter Garden. Even


(Continued from IA)


though we have had reductions in
revenue, the ball fields and other
amenities are things those citizens in
that area need and deserve.
Rees: We need to manage the city's
growth so that it doesn't outstrip
the infrastructure that is in place.
We need to provide police, fire and
recreational facilities that are close
to all our neighborhoods. We need
to work with the School Board to
provide neighborhood schools that
re not overcrowded the year after
they open. We need to preserve and
expand the historical downtown sec-
tion of Winter Garden.
With the reduction of property tax-
es, the budget needs to be critically
reviewed to ensure our money is be-
ing best spent to improve the living
standards of our residents.
Personal information:
McLaughlin: A Winter Garden
resident since 2001, McLaughlin
has been involved with West Orange
County for more than 25 years. He
and his wife, Penny, have two young
sons. McLaughlin is the CEO of FX
Group, a 21-year-old company in

OCPS Concurrency Stakeholder
-Committee, the Winter Garden
Economic Development Strategic
Plan Focus Group, Lake Whitney
Elementary PTA Dad's Committee,
the Valencia Community College
Technical Theatre Advisory Board
and the Orlando-UCF Shakespeare
Festival Board.
Quesinberry: Prior to serving the
past 16 years as mayor, he spent 10
years on the city Planning and Zon-
ing Board. Quesinberry is a retired
state-certified building contractor


who has lived in Winter Garden for
38 years. He and his wife, Gloria,
have five grown children, 10 grand-
children and 4 great-grandchildren.
Quesinberry is a member of the
MetroPlan Orlando Advisory Board

District 1
The District 1 race features local
businessman and, incumbent Com-
missioner Gerald Jowers against
longtime resident and community
volunteer Pam Stewart.
Why do you wish to serve as Dis-
trict 1 commissioner?
Jowers: Serving the city as Dis-
trict 1 commissioner is an honor
and a privilege. I wish to serve to
maintain the peaceful stature of the


City Commission. In the past five
years, the first three were tumultu-
ous and chaotic with much infighting
and poor decision-making. The past
two years have been consistent and
provided quality legislation to the
citizens of our city. I wish for this to
continue and to be a part of it.
Stewart: I. am a dedicated com-
munity volunteer and public servant,
not a politician. My husband and I
have no business or other economic
relationships in the city, which could
be perceived as a conflict of interest
or potential bias tq the residents of
District 1.
I make decisions by evaluating
every matter without preference or
favoritism to any specific person or
group by application of law, seeking
resident opinion, and a consensus-
building approach to divisive issues.
I'm committed to finding equitable
solutions, which unify rather than di-
vide our community.
Why do you feel you are the best
candidate for the position?
Jowers: I have eight years of ex-
perience on the Winter Garden City
Commission and one year on the
Planning and Zoning Board. Further-
more, I have 30 years of successful
business experience as an owner of
three businesses in Winter Garden. I
am a conservative businessman with
a rational approach to municipal gov-
ernment. I vwas born in Orlando and
lived my entire life in Winter Gar-
den. I graduated from local schools
and have a Bachelor of Science from
Georgia Southern University.
Stewart: My husband and I have
lived in District 1 for almost 17 years,
and the pillow I put my head on at
night is in District 1. I have an excel-
lent regional understanding of West
Orange County, issues and a keen
awareness of what makes Winter

Garden unique. In serving
the city as commissioner, I
will be ruthlessly committed
to fairness and neutrality.
What do you feel are the
most important issues fac-
ing District 1 and the whole
city of Winter Garden, and
why?
Jowers: First and fore-
most will be the task of op-
erating a city of our size with
20 percent less tax revenue.
Our citizens are accustomed
to quality services, and we
must continue to provide
them.
Secondly, we must con-
tinue to redevelop our down-
town area. We have made a
great start, but retail estab-
lishments and offices need to
move into the area to ensure
it continues to grow. Thirdly,
our recreation department
needs to provide more recre-
ation areas to the entire city.
Recreation was severely im-
pacted by the loss of 20 per-
cent of our taxable revenue.
Ways must be found to pro-
vide and promote more rec-
reation.
Stewart: Redistricting
- Now that the City Char-
ter has been updated, the
reapportionment of all four
districts is imperative. This
process is underway and will
result in more equitable rep-
resentation for each district.
Urban Planning Dis-
trict 1 has evolved into a di-
verse mix of land uses and
historic areas packed into an
ever-tightening area, requir-
ing thoughtful urban plan-
ning for all to coexist peace-
fully.
The heart of the district is
neighborhoods of families,
many of which have grown
closer and closer to open
land or agricultural property
and industrial areas. We are
bound on all sides by four
very different and unique
corridors: waterfront/park,
interior residential, historic
downtown, and a two-lane
road carrying ever-increas-
ing residential and industrial
traffic to the 429.
Balancing the develop-
ment and redevelopment, in
District 1 (and the city as a


whole) will continue to be a
creative challenge. One solu-
tionis finding a way to solicit
more community input at the
front end of proposed proj-
ects and a committed focus
on balancing the rights and
responsibilities of all stake-
holders without favoritism.
Economic Development
-District 1 and the city
need to continue to solicit
a variety of businesses and
economic opportunities (re-
gardless of the impact of
property tax reform), with a
focus on professional service
providers, expanded arts and
cultural venues and more of-
fice-based employment. The
northern side of Winter Gar-
den would definitely benefit
from broader employment
choices to counterbalance
the influx of retail opportuni-
ties brought by Winter Gar-
den Village to the south.
With careful planning, ex-
pansion of higher-paying job
opportunities and a good mix
of business venues along the
Dillard and Plant Street cor-
ridors would actually en-
hance the "small-town" feel-
ing residents love.
Parks and Recreation -
The Parks and Recreation
Department is a vital compo-
nent to the health and social
well-being of residents and
has been pushed aside. The
Master Plan needs to be put
back on track fiscally and
the department's budget ful-
ly funded and expanded. A
five-star Recreation Depart-
ment serving Winter Gar-
den's children and families
was identified as a major pri-
ority by the residents. Let's
get it done.
Support of the Fire/Res-
cue Department Build the
District 1 Fire Station with-
out further delay.
Competitive bidding -
All municipal services and
products required by the-
city over a specific monetary
threshold should be acquired
through standard competi-
tive bidding.

Local 6-year-old discovers

dugong bones at Vulcan Mine


By Leah Klumph


Six-year-old Jeremy Smith
was excited about what he had
found. The Lake Sheen Reserve
resident was digging at the Vul-
can Mine in Brooksville with
the Fossil Hunters of Central
Florida, working on his Cub
Scout geology pin.
Like others much older than
him that day, Jeremy, a Tiger
Cub Scout from Celebration's
Pack 125, Den 5, had turned up
echinoids, sea urchins and chert
that was used for making arrow
heads. Everyone was complete-
ly taken aback when those in
his Fossil Hunters group real-
ized Jeremy had found a two-
and-a-half-foot section of the
vertebrae and ribs of a dugong
- an early predecessor of what
we know today as a West Indian
manatee.
"It was mostly crushed but
was still a great learning ex-
perience for all of us, as we
salvaged what we could," said
Russell Brown, contributor to
the Florida Fossil Hunter News
and part of the Fossil Hunter
group that day. In addition to
five members of the Smith
family, the group also included
Joanne Maio, Erin Maio, Faith
Dignan and Bonnie Cronin.
This wasn't the'Smith fam-
ily's first time digging in the
Vulcan Mine. According to
Jeremy's mother, Mary Hurley
Smith, Jeremy and his brothers,
William, 12, who was work-
ing on his Boy Scout geology
and archaeology merit badges;
and Michael, 18 and an Eagle
Scout; were about ready to pack
it in for the day when Jeremy
found the dugong.
"We had unearthed many
echinoids and sea urchins and
even been around when some
very small pieces of dugongs
were found; but we'd never
found anything of this magni-
tude," said Hurley Smith. So,
despite having other commit-
ments that day, they spent an
additional four hours trying to
unearth the bones as a section.
The dugong (with the mana-
tee),is one of four living spe-
cies of the order Sirenia that
evolved more than 50 million
years ago during the Eocene ep-


och. Today, dugongs live in the
Indo-Pacific region, with the
majority in the northern waters
of Australia; and they are con-
sidered an endangered species.
The dugong is the only strictly
marine herbivorous mammal.
Jeremy was told that based
on the size of the ribs and ver-
tebrae, the section he discov-
ered might have once been
about a 12-foot-long dugong,
dating back 14 to 18 million
years, whose species lived in
the Florida area.
For the first step in the pro-
cess of excavating Jeremy's
find, "We dusted the area off
with a brush and exposed some
of the bones," said Hurley
Smith. "We then dug around
the area to see how far the bone
went out."
Once the approximate area
had been determined, the group
took mud that they made from
the dirt and water near the site
and packed it over the area of
bones. They next took alumi-
num foil and put it on top of the
mud to form ajacket around the
bone area and proceeded to dig
a trench around and under the
bone area to try and lift it out as
one piece. Brown explained to
the group that the bones were
more mineralized than fossil-
ized because, over the years,
minerals had seeped into the
bones. The bones looked more
like petrified minerals than ac-
tual bones.
Jeremy was very proud of
his discovery. "I was surprised
when Russell told me what it
was," he said. "I thought he was
cool. I named him Duggie [pro-
nounced Doogie] the Dugong
Smith."
His discovery caught the
youngster by surprise. "I was
looking for echinoids, and I
saw something dark with white
around it, and I didn't know
what it was," said Jeremy.
"Joanne wasn't sure either, so
I went and asked my mom, and
she said it was bone."
They deferred to Brown, who
identified it as.dugong bones.
Russell also told Jeremy that he
only knew of two other times
that dugong bones were found
in the area ever.
Despite their valiant efforts


to unearth the entire .section
as one piece, the specimen of
vertebrae and ribs that they un-
earthed refused to stay together.
They placed everything they
found on a neat sheet, so as not
to lose any.of it.
The bones were taken home
to the Smith residence where
Jeremy, with the help of his
mother and brother William,
cleaned and put the pieces
into containers for safekeep-
ing. Because of his discovery,
Jeremy was invited to speak to
Cub Scout Pack 125 during a
recent meeting and to a num-
ber of older Scouts working
on their geology merit badge
in Boy Scout Troop 125, both
chartered by the Rotary Club of
Celebration.
The gregarious Jeremy con-
tinues to tell anyone interested
about his day at the Vulcan
Mine. On a recent visit to the
Central Florida Boy Scout
Council, Jeremy so eloquently
and enthusiastically conveyed
the story of his dugong dis-
covery to the staff that he was
invited to speak on their behalf
at the upcoming Central Florida
Council's Golden Eagle Ban-
quets. Rather than digong
bones, Jeremy will talk about
being a Cub Scout and the dif-
ferent things Scouts get to do
through the Central Florida
Council. His brother William
will assist Jeremy in speak-
ing from the. Boy Scout per-
spective. The local venues of
these 17 banquets include The
Wyndham Orlando on Feb. 22,
the Reunion Grand on March
13 and the Amway Arena on
April 7.
Jeremy is the youngest
son of Tom and Mary Hurley
Smith, and he has two broth-
ers (Michael and William) and
two sisters (Maryann, 16, and
Danielle, 10).
When not working on his
Cub Scout badges or busy en-
gaging people in conversation,
the home-schobled 6-year-old
also dances with the Talako In-
dian dancers and plays with his
cars, trains and Planet Heroes.
He also enjoys video games and
traveling with his parents.

Corrections to
Woman's Club history
In the article about the Wom-
an's Club of Ocoee's 75-year
history, published in the Jan.
19 issue and submitted by the
club, two errors were noted by
Nancy Maguire, director of the
Withers-Maguire House and
Museum in Ocoee.
She pointed out that Eliza-
beth Maguire was misquoted
concerning Rebel Withers and
her name. Rebel actually was
an infant in Vicksburg when the
Yankee soldiers ransacked her
family's home. Because of her
constant crying, a Yankee sol-
dier called her a "little rebel."
The name stayed with her the
rest of her life, even thoughher
real name was Ann Withers.
This account is recorded
in the book Memories of Wil-
liam Temple Withers, written
by Rebel's sister, Ida Withers
Harrison.
Also, the photo accompany-
ing the article is not of Lillian
Maguire but of her mother,
Mrs. M.F. (Maggie) Maguire,
who was a charter member of
the Woman's Club and its sec-
ond president.

16A The West Orange Times Thursday, January 24, 2008


A ground-breaking will take place in March for the new Southside Park in south Winter
Garden. Lake Butler Boulevard runs from east to west at the north side of the park.


Parks
south Winter Garden on
Winter Garden-Vineland Road
(County Road 535) just south
of Lake Butler Boulevard.
Southside Park will include
two multi-purpose fields, two


Recreation
Schools.
"We got such a great deal on
that," Bollhoefer said.
This central campus will
serve all ages, from youth to
senior citizens.
The former school offices
will be used as rec offices and
as a computer lab for teaching.
The building used as the school
library in the 1970s will have
an area for art classes, and there
will also be space for a teaching
garden and urban horticulture
classes.
Senior citizens will have their
own special area with a social
lounge and a host of programs
and instructional classes.
The original, graduated-
floor auditorium was renovated
in 1998, and many in the
community considerit a treasure
because most elementary
schools today have integrated
the auditorium and cafeteria


softball fields, a covered play
place and concession area..
Ground will be broken in
March, Bollhoefer said, and
the new park will open by
November.


"Southside Park will give
us our first city park south of
Colonial Drive," Conn said.
"Parks are not only attractive
and protect our natural
resources, but studies have

shown that property values
increase with proximity to a
park. Our population growth
has put a severe strain on our
existing facilities. This facility
will give us some much-


needed athletic field space for
the youth and adult teams in
our community."
Heavy landscaping will
buffer the park from the two
roads and the Winter Garden


Cemetery, which is to the
east.
The park will cost
approximately $2.7 million
and is being funded with
impact fees, Bollhoefer said.


(Continued from 1A)


into a level-floor multi-use area
for lunches and programs.
Bollhoefer said the
auditorium chairs are too small
for adults so they will be taken
out. Another plan, he said, is to
get rid of the sloping floor in
the auditorium so tables canbe
set up for dinners, parties and
receptions.
The cafeteria and auditorium
(at almost 5,000 square feet) are
about the same size as Tanner
Hall and could be used as a
second rental hall.
"We've had people coming
to us already wanting to use the
stage," the city manager said.
This huge room could also
be divided into several spaces,
Bollhoefer said, for lunches,
lectures, aerobic and dance
Classes and, on the weekends,
social gatherings.
"We are very excited about
the potential for this facility,"


Conn said. "There is enough
distinctive space where we
should be able to accommodate
people of all ages and interests
with anything from mommy-
and-me preschool classes to
adult art classes to senior citizen
exercise sessions.
"It will be a great asset to all
of our residents," said Conn.
The city also plans to
modify the size and slope of
the retention pond now
approximately three and a
half acres which will allow
officials to take care of some
stormwater runoff issues in
the downtown area. And 'the
fence around the pond will be
removed and a walkway and
landscaping added around it to
make it more of a community
amenity, said Bollhoefer.
One change that Dillard
Street Elementary parents
likely won't care for is the


discontinuation of the lot as an
overflow parking area. Once
the property is operational as a
recreation site, the convenience
of parking there will no longer
be an option, and parents will
have to resort to parking at the
current school.
Once the Parks and
Recreation Department's move
is complete, the city will no
longer need the yellow house at
1 Surprise Drive now used for
the parks and recreation office.
The city bought and moved the
wood-frame house from a site
near the First Baptist Church
of Winter Garden to its present
location on the shores of Lake
Apopkain 1994. Bollhoefersaid
that anyone who is interested in
the house can have it for $10
(plus the cost to move it).
The old West Orange Library
on East Cypress Street was
originally going to be modified


for use as a senior center, but,
Bollhoefer said, "with the tax
cuts, it made sense to put it all
in one building."
Instead, the city plans to
turn the old library into the
administration building for the
WinterGardenFire Department.
Fire officials are currently
operating out of a trailer
behind the Fire Department
on Palmetto Street. Work on
the new building should be
completed by November.
The former fire station on
South Boyd Street has housed
recreation programs in recent
years but will be empty once
the Parks and Recreation
Department makes its move
to the Dillard property, which
could be as soon as spring
2009. Bollhoefer said one idea
is to turn the Boyd station into
an arts and cultural center for
the city.


The city has budgeted $2
million this year to prepare the
old Dillard Street Elementary
site. Bollhoefer said the
building is structurally sound
and that vandals only did
superficial damage to the
interior last year. All the roofs
were redone about eight years
ago; the plumbing, electrical
and air-conditioning unit has
to be replaced. Windows and
doors will be changed, and a
new entrance will be created off
the west-side parking lot.

up some valuable momentum
heading into this week's Metro
Conference Championships.
The Panthers hosted Lake
Mary last Thursday and hon-
ored seniors Jorge Benzaquen,
Corey Boston, Josh Aronow
and Jonathan Moran prior to
the meet. The DP seniors went
out in style with a 40-30 vic-
tory.
Junior John Hellinger
opened with a second-period
pin at 112 lbs. and his broth-
er, Austin Hellinger, fought
his way to an 8-6 win at 125

and Boston battled from be-
hind to win 8-6. Freshman
Jared Watkins pinned his op-
ponent at 103 lbs. to close out
the match.
The Panther wrestling
squad carried that momentum
into last Saturday's Michael
Hutchins tournament at Bish-
op Moore High. DP finished
with a 4-1 record to finish
in 3rd place after defeating
Wekiva, Lake City Columbia,
Titusville and Bishop Moore.
John Hellinger, P.J. Fronsdahl,
Locksmith, Benzaquen, Ram-
charan, Moran and Ducre all
had outstanding performances
on Saturday.
The Panthers set a school
record for wrestling this sea-
son with its 18th victory of the
season, finishing 18-5.


In the district tournament,
the sixth-seeded Dr. Phillips
varsity girls soccer team fell
in overtime to Apopka. The
team went toe-to-toe with
third-seeded Apopka, battling
through double overtime and
two rounds of penalty kicks
before losing 2-1.
The Panthers got on the
board first when Alexis Gar-
rand scored off an assist from
Sara Lellyo midway through
the first half. In the second
half, Apopka tied the match at
1-1 in the 45th minute and the
score remained tied through
two overtime periods.
The penalty kick round saw
both teams knock in all five
shots with Ashley Womack,
Lellyo, Emily Larson, Gar-
rand and Holly Hudson scor-
ing for DP. But in the second
round, the Panthers missed the
shot, and Apopka was able to
convert theirs for the victory.
The Panthers ended the season
with a 10-9-1 record.
The Panther varsity boys

in the net early, only to have
it called back for an offside
penalty. A few minutes later,
Fadenrecht scored the win-
ning goal for WOHS on a slow
roller that just creeped into the


corner of the net.

Winter Garden resident Evan Gfeller beat hundreds of experienced golfers to qualify
to hit a shot for $1 million at the recent Golffest event at Orange County National Golf
Center.

Local student qualifies for $1-million golf shot


WO Wolves 8-and-under baseball team win Winter Classic
The West Orange Wolves 8-and-under baseball team won the 2007 Winter Classic
Championship for 8-and-under ICE Division. Pictured (I-r) are players Ryan Jean, Tan-
ner Wood, Peyton Fuller, John Segrest, Parker Mara; (2nd row) Chase Nowicki, Doug
Nikhazy, Drew McMahan, D'Andre Shelton and (in back) coaches Brad Nikhazy, Ther-
man Fuller, Harry Shelton and Kraige Jean.


Evan Gfeller, a Winter Gar-
den resident and student at
Bridgewater Middle School,
qualified to hit a golf shot
from 140 years for $1 million
at the recent Golffest at Orange
County National Golf Center.
Gfeller holed a sand shot
from 25 yards to beat a field
of hundreds of experienced
golfers in the playoff for the
chance to hit the potentially


life-changing shot.
His million-dollar shot was
hit well, slightly left and a
bit too long. In an interview
with Golfweek TV, Gfeller
explained how he felt about
making the shot: "I was not
nervous at all. I know how
slight the chances were for
anyone to hole a shot from
140 yards. I was just happy
to be there, having beaten


hundreds of grownups. I put
a good swing on it, aimed for
the green and counted on luck
for the ball to go in. I would
like to thank Golfweek for giv-
ing me the opportunity to make
that shot."
Gfeller also qualified for
the $10,000 putting finals and
placed fifth in the 9-hole tour-
nament presented by the Pre-
mier Junior Golf Tour.

SMaking new friends
Kathy Jacoby, a Windermere
Elementary room mom, was
fulfilling a course requirement
for her educational degree by
helping in Mrs. Paguanda's
first-grade class at Oak Hill El-
ementary.
Jacoby saw an opportunity to
help the Oak Hill first-graders
and her son's fourth-grade class
at WES to better understand the
true meaning of the holidays.'
Her son's teacher, Nancy Bro-
mhead, liked the idea of join-
ing the two classes together for
sharing and friendship.

Health Central
Health Central Auxiliary,
the volunteer association that
supports Health Central medi-

scholarships to high school and
college students interested in pur-
suing a career in healthcare.
The $2,000 scholarships are
available to students and hospital
employees who plan to major in
a healthcare-related field.
A minimum grade-point av-
erage of 3.5 is required of high
school students, a minimum GPA


The fourth-graders decided
that in lieu of a traditional holi-
day book exchange, they would
each purchase a book for the
students in the Oak Hill first-
grade class and host a holiday
party for their soon-to-be new
friends.
The two classes met each
other and were soon 'laughing
and opening gifts. Refreshments
were served, books were read
and board games were played.
Even the teachers shared char-
acter education ideas to help
motivate their students to make
good life choices.

Abby Vahle said, "I was

Unanimously, Mrs. Bro-

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


"Peace I leave with you; Mypeace Igive you.
I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not
let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
John 14:27

It seems these days with all the threats of war.
immorality, rising cost of gas, food, drugs, med-
ical care, etc. that we lose sight of the fact that
God is always in control. The Bible teaches that
we already possess God's peace.
Do you have doubts about your future? Just
take a look at your past. In Matt. 1:1-17 the Holy
Spirit is making a point. Matthew gives us a
picture of Jesus' lineage. It reads of a not-so-
great grandparent list. If this had been our lin-
eage, most of us would prefer it not be told! But
the Holy Spirit wants us to see that the common
bond between the individuals on this list was a
promise...a promise from heaven that God would
use these people to send His Son.
Why does God give us a testament filled with
blunders and stumbles of His people? Because
He knows we will stumble, fret, and worry. Be-

cause He wants us to know that when the world
goes wild, He stays calm. Want proof? Read the
last name on the list! In spite of all the slips and
blunders. Jesus, the blessed Savior, the last name
on the list. was the first one promised. The fam-
ine couldn't starve God's promise, four hundred
years of Egyptian slavery couldn't oppress God's
promise, wilderness wandering couldn't lose
God's promise, Babylonian captivity couldn't
stop God's promise. The promise of the Messiah
threads its way through forty-two generations of
"stuff' to bring us a King, just as promised!
God keeps His promise. Sometimes we just
need to look for ourselves. In the manger, He
was there, in the tomb. He was gone! He is alive,
His promises still hold. The engineer has not
abandoned the train. Nuclear war is no threat to
God. A yo-yo economy does not intimidate the
heavens and deranged men have never derailed
the plan. God did anddoes keep His promises.
Be of good cheer, for God is always near.
From the believers at First Baptist Winter Garden.

Orlando Ballet presents 'Pirates of Penzance!'


Orlando Ballet brings Pirates
of Penzance!, choreographed
by Daryl Gray, to the Carr Per-
forming Arts Centre Feb. 1-3.
This is the only full-length bal-
let version of Gilbert and Sul-
livan's Pirates of Penzance! in
the world.
"When I first saw a perfor-
mance of Daryl Gray's 'Pirates
of Penzance!,' I was pleased to
find it charming and very inven-
tive and surprising," said Orlan-
do BalletArtistic Director Bruce


Marks. "It's hard to be funny in
ballet, but Gray's 'Pirates!' is a
light-hearted romp that is sweet
and very audience friendly."
The plot of the ballet closely
shadows that of the original.
Gilbert and Sullivan opera.
The young hero, Fredric, was
orphaned as a child and acci-
dentally apprenticed to a gentle
band of pirates. He falls in love
with Mabel, who happens to be
one of the daughters of a major-
general. An accident of birth


prevents Fredric from enjoying
his new-found happiness, but all
is finally made right in the clas-
sic Gilbert and Sullivan finale.
The action-packed production
with dance set to a Broadway-
style score features a live or-
chestra and four on-stage sing-
ers woven into the show.'
Tickets run $14.50 to $70 and
are on sale now. For more in-
formation, call 407-426-1739,
407-839-3900 or visit Ticket-
master.com.


Cornell Museum exhibits sculptor Louise Nevelson


The Cornell Fine Arts Mu-
seum at Rollins College is pre-
senting the sculpture exhibit
"Nevelson By Night" that fo-
cuses on works by the interna-
tionally recognized contempo-
rary American sculptor, Louise
Nevelson.
The exhibit features approx-
imately one dozen black wall
work assemblages or freestand-
ing sculptural objects.
Nevelson is credited for her
contribution to American mod-


ernism by her re-invention of
the art of sculpture. She forged
a distinct visual language that
earned her the title as the
grandee dame of contemporary
sculpture."
Her technique of using
"found" objects gathered from
New York City streets, building
renovation sites and cast-offs
from lumber yards and wreck-
ing areas was transformed
through her genius for inven-
tion and craft. Beginning in the


1940s and continuing through
the 1980s, Nevelson's sculpture
developed from tabletop-size
pieces to human-scale columns
and room-size walls.
The gallery is open Tuesday-
Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and
1-5 p.m. on Sunday. Admis-
sion is $5 for adults and free
to CFAM members, Rollins
faculty, staff, all students with
current ID and children.
