Orange County
and Chase Road
residents oppose
annexations; Butler
Bay addition goes
to referendum vote
March 11.

By Kathy Aber

Windermere's proposed
annexations of Isleworth and
Butler Bay, Unit 1, have hit
three potential roadblocks.
The. Orange County Board
of County Commissioners-
notified Windermere Feb. 8
of its intent to begin conflict
resolution regarding the Town
Council's intent to annex Isle-
worth and Butler Bay, Unit 1.
In addition, Joseph and Bet-
tie Whitaker and Phoenix De-
velopers have filed two legal
actions related to the Isleworth
annexation, which includes
the Whitaker property at 9601
Chase Road.
The Town Council passed
ordinances to annex Isleworth
and Butler Bay, Unit 1, dur-
ing its meeting Jan. 8. The
Isleworth annexation includes
the Whitaker property even
though it is located outside the
Isleworth community wall.
The Orange County BCC
passed a resolution Jan. 29 to
initiate the three-step conflict
resolution process required by
Florida statutes to resolve in-
tergovernmental disputes.
As an additional complica-
tion for the town, the county
legal staff verbally asked
Windermere Town Attorney
Tom Wilkes to recuse himself
on the annexation dispute be-
cause his firm, GrayRobinson,
represents the county on labor
issues and the county believes


By Michael Laval


With city budgets continually
tightening as a result of
changing state property tax
laws, Winter Garden might have
to tack on a special assessment
fee to maintain some essential
services.
The City Commission
unanimously passed an
ordinance last Thursday
reserving the. city's right
to collect non-ad valorem
assessments, beginning with
the new fiscal year on Oct. 1,
to help pay for Winter Garden's
fire protection services.
"Currently, there is a lot of
uncertainty regarding property
taxes and local government
revenues, in general," City
Manager Michael Bollhoefer
stated in his report to the
commission. "There is a
possibility that it may become
0 impossible to adequately

Winter Garden to elect new mayor Feb. 26


By Michael Laval

For the first time in 16 years, Winter
Garden voters will select a new mayor
with the run-off election set for Tuesday,
Feb. 26. The contest is between Mack
McLaughlin and John Rees, the top vote-'
getters in the Jan. 29 three-way municipal
election.
According to the Orange County Su-
pervisor of Elections office, McLaughlin
collected the most ballots (2,128) to take
35 percent of the vote. Rees trailed by
less than 100 votes with 2,029, which was
good for 33.37 percent. Incumbent Mayor
Jack Quesinberry finished close behind
with 1,923 votes or 31.63 percent.


All regular city polling locations will
be open for the run-off election from 7
a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters should note that
city polling locations differ from the
county polling locations used in the Jan.
29 election.
Districts 1 and 2 will both vote at Tan-
ner Hall, 29 W. Garden Ave. District 3
will vote at the old public library build-
ing at 1 E. Cypress St., and District 4 will
cast its ballots at Stoneybrook West Golf
Club, 15501 Towne Commons Blvd.
Early voting will be available at the
Orange County Supervisor of Elections
office at 119 W. Kaley St. in Orlando
through Saturday, Feb. 23, from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m.


a conflict of interest exists.
During the Windermere
Town Council meeting last
Tuesday, Wilkes said he has
stepped aside. However, his
firm will continue to handle
one part of the Whitaker case.
With advice from Wilkes,
Town Manager Bernier hired
Orlando attorney Bill Os-
borne, who is also a former
mayor of Windermere, to take
over the county dispute.
Osborne spoke with The
West Orange Times on Friday
and explained the steps in the
dispute resolution process.
A public meeting between
the staffs of both governments
is the first phase.
County officials will meet
with Windermere staff mem-
bers Friday, Feb. 29, from
9-11 a.m. in the conference
room on the first floor of the
Orange County Administra-
tion building at 201 S. Rosa-
lind Ave. in Orlando.
Both- parties have an-
nounced the participants who
will attend the meeting.
County representatives in-
clude Ajit Lalchandani (coun-
ty administrator), Chris Tester-
man (director of government
relations), Orange County
Fire Chief Carl Plaugher, Su-
san Caswell (manager of the
Planning Division) and coun-
ty attorney Tom Drage or his
designee.
In addition to Osborne, Win-
dermere will send Town Man-
ager Cecilia Bemier, Town
Planner Jim Shira, Ocoee Fire
Chief Richard Firstner, Town
Council Member John Briggs
(an attorney and legal media-
tor) and Gary Krick of S.E.
Surveying.
"We will go to that meeting
trying to find a resolution,"
Osborne said.


fund fire protection without
eliminating other important
services."
The resolution, Bollhoefer
explained, does not
automatically implement the
fee but makes it possible for
the city to do so if it's deemed
necessary. Winter Garden, he
added, has hired a consulting
firm that will recommend the
appropriate amount for a fire
assessment, if needed.
"We likely won't know if it's
needed until July when we get
our number from the property
appraiser's office," Bollhoefer
said.
In other business, the elected
officials:
passed a resolution
certifying the results of the Jan.
29 municipal election.
passed a resolution
affirming the city's commitment
to maintaining Winter Garden's
downtown fost office.

The town of Windermere is considering annexing the gated Isleworth subdivision into the
town limits.


The second step involves a
joint meeting of the BCC and
the Town Council within 50
days of the original notice.
If the first two meetings fail
to resolve the conflict, the par-
ties go to mediation after the
town and the county agree on
a mediator.
Orange County attorneys
Toni Drage and Joel Prinsell
told the Times during a con-
ference call on Monday the
county has reserved the right
to sue Windermere on the an-
nexations if the conflict reso-
lution fails.
However, Drage said the
BCC would have to authorize
such action.
Prinsell said the county's
chief objections to the an-
nexations are the town's in-
ability to provide adequate
fire and rescue services to the
areas proposed for annexation
and the five-year sunset provi-
sion in the town's ordinances.
The sunset provision gives the
town five years to complete
the annexations.
Property taxes on real es-
tate in Isleworth amount to
approximately $3.5 million


annually a current source
of revenue for Orange County
that is used primarily for fire
and rescue services.
While this type of dispute
between governments over an-
nexation doesn't occur often,
Prinsell said the county has
prevailed in a similar action
against the city of Apopka.
"We ill follow this process
in good faith," said Drage.
At the meeting Feb. 29, he
said they would see if some
sort of compromise is possible
and then present it to the gov-
erning bodies.
Osborne said Windermere is
prepared to discuss the fire is-
sue, as well as other questions
raised by the county.
"Our goal is to resolve this
without going too much fur-
ther in the process," said Os-
borne.
Currently, Windermere pro-
vides fire and rescue services
through a paid agreement with
the Ocoee Fire Department. If
the annexations are approved
by residents, Windermere in-
tends to include the new areas
in its contract with Ocoee.
Windermere has discussed


building a fire station in town
to enable faster response time
by the Ocoee Fire Department
but has not yet formalized this
plan.
Orlando attorney Howard
Marks who represents the Wh-
itakers told the Times Monday
his clients are challenging the
annexation on a number of
topics.
"The most significant prob-
lem is the town has no reason-
able fire and rescue services
within two miles of my cli-
ents' home," said Marks.
In addition, he said infor-
mation presented at the town's
recent public hearings doesn't
demonstrate the town's ability
to provide adequate fire and
rescue services on the date of
(the annexation.
"Assuming that the Whitak-
ers will be safe and protected,
I think that would go a long
way to resolve their objec-
tions," said Marks.
In a separate lawsuit, the
Whitakers challenge that the
Isleworth annexation is in-
consistent with the town's

Volunteer drivers needed to transport cancer patients


For cancer patients, the dis-
tance between them and their
treatment facility can often hold
them back from lifesaving treat-
ments. The American Cancer
Society's Road to Recovery
program eliminates that barrier
by providing free transportation

Windermere


Comprehensive Plan, which spec-
ifies the town intends to maintain
a small-town atmosphere without
gated enclaves.
Isleworth encompasses approx-
imately 1,000 acres with 380 plat-
ted lots, 880 residents and gated
entrances.
With the annexation of Isle-
worth, "Windermere is going to
be changing its whole image,"
said Marks.
Wilkes said his firm would file
a motion to dismiss the Whitak-
ers' complaint that the annexation
is inconsistent with the town's
Comp Plan.
"We've never seen a case where
an annexation is overturned for in-
consistencies with a Comp Plan,"
said Wilkes.
He also said attorney Osborne
would probably handle the Whi-
takers' other lawsuit, which was
filed with the Ninth Judicial
Circuit. The court will appoint a
three-judge panel, and the chief
judge will order the town to re-
spond.


(Continued from 1A)


"A response is not required
until the court orders it," said
Wilkes.
A referendum of registered
voters in both communities is
the final step to complete the an-
nexation of Isleworth and Butler
Bay, Unit 1.
The town manager said the Or-
ange County Supervisor of Elec-
tions Office is preparing the mail
ballots that will be sent to regis-
tered voters in Butler Bay, Unit
1. The ballots must be returned
by March 11.
The annexation process for
Isleworth involves two steps.
Since registered voters own less
than 30 percent of the acreage in
Isleworth, the town must get con-
sent agreements from the own-
ers of 50 percent of that acreage.
Unregistered voters, the Isleworth
Community Association, the Isle-
worth Land Company, Tavistock
Group and other entities (such as
developers) own more than 50
percent of the real estate.
To date, Windermere has not


obtained the necessary consent
agreements, so the Isleworth ref-
erendum, originally scheduled for
March 11, has been postponed.
Once this consent is obtained,
the town will schedule a referen-
dum of registered voters in the
community as the final step in
the process.
Bernier said she and the mayor
have met with members of the
Isleworth Community Associa-
tion board.
"They say they're looking at
it," said the town manager. "As
long as they're looking at it, we're
interested."
The Times spoke with JeffVoss,
a managing director of Tavistock
Group and one of three members
of the board of the Isleworth
Community Association.
He said it was premature to say
if the board was for the annexa-
tion.
"There are a lot of questions
still to be answered," said Voss.
He said the board has met twice
on the subject and is preparing a

2005.
The chaining restrictions are
as follows:
Any restraining device
(chain, cord or cable) must be
a minimum length of 10 feet to
confine an animal in the own-
er's property.
The restraining device must
be humane and provide for an
unrestrained range of move-
ment for the animal to ensure
that the dog is not exposed to


hazard or injury.
The restraining devise must
not restrict the animal from
having food, water, shelter, ad-
equate ventilation, protection
from the elements or general
care.
The restraining device
must be proportional in size
and must weigh less than one
eighth of the dog or puppy's
weight.
The restraining device
must be designed for the spe-
cific breed.
The restraining device
must be used with an appropri-
ate collar.

hours of 9 p:m. and 5 p.m. 365
days a year and during extreme
weather, such as hurricanes or
below-freezing conditions.
Other options to chaining
include bringing your dog in-
doors, establishing an appro-
priate fence that is adequate for
your dog's breed and size and
building a kennel for your dog.
Do not place your dog in a
garage or area where there is
no air flow.

Old Times


Is Windermere going down dead-end street?


The town of Windermere set
a course for an unprecedented
annexation with an ordinance to
annex the gated community of
Isleworth. Whether or not it makes
sense, it is clear that the to\vn
really has no idea whether or
not Isleworth wants to be
annexed and is unclear E
of how it will provide
the necessary services.
What is becoming more El
clear is how much a failed
attempt will cost in legal fees.
Without the political backing
of the major controlling interests in
Isleworth, there is little or no chance
this annexation will ever happen. Do
these developers have any motivation
to be annexed, and are they willing
to alienate Orange County?
Windermere has spent much of


its legal budget already and is now
facing multiple lawsuits regarding
the annexation. The town might now
be throwing good money after bad
if the annexation is pursued before
details can be worked out. If
that's the case, who are the
winners? The attorneys?
Without just fattening.
the wallets of the
lawyers, both the town
ND and Orange County
should work out how to
best serve the taxpayers.
They need to work together
to do a better job while spending
less money. It would make more
sense to see compromises through
camaraderie than costly lawsuits.
It's looking more like a dead end is
inevitable an expensive dead end
at that.


John Rees has demonstrated
throughout his campaign for mayor
that he would not run a negative
campaign. His opponent, Mack
McLaughlin, on the other hand,
promoted on his.Web site one of
the most underhanded attempts
to discredit a candidate the
"closed-door" meeting anonymous
tapes.
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. Rees demonstrated that
the well-being of the city was what
was most important to him two
years ago, when he bowed out of


the race to help ensure that Winter
Garden's interests were protected.
Rees is his own person and will
serve the interest of all of Winter
Garden north and south -
equally.
Last month we said that Mack
McLaughlin "has bold ideas." We
would like to change that tp "makes
bold statements," some of which
are conflicting.
We believe that the difference
in the candidates is clear. Rees
has demonstrated that he won't
compromise his integrity in order
to get elected, and we don't feel
that McLaughlin has done that. We
recommend voting John Rees for
mayor.


75 years ago
"The Property Owners Relief Association of
Winter Garden, Florida" was formed by a group
of about 25 large property owners at Legion
Hall. The main purpose is to reduce the great
tax burden on real estate.
One month will be cut from the terms of ju-
nior and senior high schools in Orange County,
including Lakeview High School, to effect a
savings of approximately $12,246 in salaries.
Pupils of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth
grades of the Winter Garden school were proud
to learn that their exhibits at the Central Florida
Exposition had won three blue ribbons. Miss
Newton's third grade won first prize with a post-
er displaying a beautiful Health Ship, each sail
bearing a health rule. On deck, composing the
crew were photos of the class members. As the
children obey the rules, they enjoy the voyage,
but as soon as they become careless of the rules
they are gently dumped into the waves.
40 years ago
As the Winter Garden Rotary Club held its
annual elections, George Howard was named
president and Hardie Webb vice-president. New
directors elected were Whit Chase, Don Phil-
lips, Curtis Pickens and Charles Warden. Di-
rectors whose terms ran for another year were
Jack.Veech, Johnny Nowell, Everett Farnsworth
and Ken Fritz.
Tens of thousands of workers will be used in
the newest Winter Garden industry under con-
struction on Highway 50. The honey extracting
plant operated by the Western States Apiaries
will be operated by David and Thomas Emde.
The workers will be, of course, some 2,000
colonies of bees, which will be transported

Green Builder home debuts in Montverde


Orange County Mayor Richard Crotty addressed the Focus the Nation teach-in on global
warming at the University of Central Florida, where Ihe announced plans for a multi-
million-dollar solar panel system at the Orange County Convention Center.

Crotty unveils major solar energy project


West Orange County will
soon be home to the largest solar
panel system in the Southeastern
United States.
Orange County Mayor Rich-
ard Crotty recently unveiled
plans for a multi-million-dollar
photovoltaic array and educa-
tion center to be installed at
the Orange County Conven-
tion Center. Once installed, the
solar panels will cover an area
larger than five football fields
and are expected to generate one


megawatt of electricity, enough
to power 80-100 homes.
"We in Orange County are
committed to doing our part, and
we're proud to move forward
with this clean energy proj-
ect," Crotty said. "By working
together, we can bring about a
cleaner, greener Central Florida
and a better world."
Crotty made the presentation
Jan. 31 at the University of Cen-
tral Florida as part of a nation-
wide global warming teach-in


called Focus the Nation. He also
announced the county had re-
ceived a $1.8 million state grant
to help support the project.
The Florida Department
of Environmental. Protection
awarded the funds through its
Renewable Energy Technolo-
gies 2007 grant program. It
will be matched by a $3.8 mil-
lion commitment from Orange
County government and a $1.5
million pledge from the Orlando
Utilities Commission.


Green Builder Media and Flor-
ida Water Star joined forces to
showcase the environmental and
economic benefits of water- and
energy-efficient homes. On Feb. 6,
the two entities unveiled the 2008
Green Builder Vision House, lo-
cated off Apopka Springs Boule-
vard in Montverde.
The house, built by Westmont
Green Homes, was also displayed
last week as part of the 2008 In-
ternational Home Builders' Show
in Orlando. Curt Roese and Jim
Rahman, owners of Westmont
Green Homes in Winter Garden,
described the project as the most
green home ever built in Lake
County.
"It is a high-end architect-
designed custom home, which


demonstrates that green can be not
only glamorous but also sustain-
able by considering durability and
life safety in an active hurricane
zone," Roese said.
Sitting on Lake Apopka, the
home features extensive use of
renewable energy sources and
high-efficiency components. It
uses cisterns to collect stormwater
run-off and highly efficient Kohler
interior fixtures to conserve water.
The landscaping utilizes native and
non-native site-appropriate plant-
ings that will decrease the need for
supplemental irrigation except in
extreme drought seasons.
The home is certified accord-
ing to the guidelines and standards
set by the National Association of
Home Builders, the Florida Green


Building Coalition (FGBC), the
Institute for Business and Home
Safety and Florida Water Star,
which is a program of the St. Johns
River Water Management District
that encourages water efficiency in
household appliances, plumbing
fixtures, irrigation systems and
landscapes.
Westmont Green Homes also
announced recently that it has be-
gun construction on four certified
custom green homes at Lake Bur-
den at the Lakes of Windermere.
Lot No. 47, a two-story home
with approximately 3,500 square
feet of living space, will be show-
cased at the Spring Mid-Florida
HBA Parade of Homes. The other
three homes will be available by
December.


Local resorts earn Green Lodging designation


Six area resorts have been
welcomed to the Green Lodg-
ing program by the Florida
Department of Environmen-
tal Protection (DEP) in recent
months.
The Florida Green Lodging
program is a voluntary state ini-
tiative that provides the lodg,
ing industry with technical as-
sistance and encourages hotels
and motels to adopt cost-saving
green practices that reduce
waste and conserve natural re-
sources.
The Rosen Shingle Creek
Resort on Universal Boulevard
became the 44th member of the
program. The DEP then named


Walt Disney World's Wilder-
ness Lodge and Fort Wilderness
Resort and Campground as the
45th and 46th members of the
Green Lodging program. A trio
of Embassy Suites hotels In-
ternational Drive at the Orange
County Convention Center, Or-
lando International Airport and
Orlando North became the
48th, 49th and 50th lodgings to
join the program.
"These establishments are
helping conserve and protect
Florida's natural resources for
its millions of residents and
visitors by becoming a Green
Lodge," said Vivian Garfein,
DEP central district director.


To be designated a Florida
Green Lodge, hotels must fol-
low certain green practices,
such as conserving water
through low-flow plumbing
fixtures and a linen reuse pro-
gram and becoming energy ef-
ficient by installing Energy Star

State set to begin
Phase II of climate
change plan
Gov. Charlie Crist's Action
Team on Energy and Climate
Change convened this month to
begin developing Phase II of its
action plan.
The team will work to create
and evaluate comprehensive ac-
tions to achieve reduction targets
for greenhouse gas reductions.
A final report presented to the
governor, due Oct. 1, will focus
on mitigating impacts to society,
public health, the economy and
theenvironment that are created
by greenhouse gas emissions
from new growth.
At the Feb. 1 meeting, Michael
Sole, secretary of the Florida De-
partment of Environmental Pro-
tection and Action Team chair-
man, introduced the Center for
Climate Strategies (CCS) as fa-
cilitator of the Phase II process.
CCS is a non-profit organization
that works with public officials
and stakeholders to identify,
design and implement policies
that address climate mitigation,
clean energy and economic de-
velopment opportunities. CCS
is currently working in 16 states
to build consensus and develop
comprehensive action plans.
"Meeting Florida's growing
energy needs while reducing the
emissions of greenhouse gases is
one of the most important issues
we face today," Sole said.

Foundation I
Foundation Academy held
its annual Weekend to Roar
school and community festival
starting with a tailgating party
Friday before the varsity girls
and boys basketball games.
The weekend .fun' continued
Saturday with a community
festival of food, games, prizes,
music and a silent auction.
The Praise and Worship
Band, led by Tony Wold, per-
formed throughout the day.
Children enjoyed riding the
mechanical bull, climbing the
rock wall and exploring the
bounce house.
This year's food was pro-
vided by a number of'outside
vendors, but the favorite, as
always, was the strawberry
shortcake, assembled by a
group of Foundation teachers.
The weekend concluded on
Sunday with an evening praise
event at First Baptist Church
of Winter Garden, followed
by a chili cook-off.
The annual festival is or-
ganized through its Parent-
Teacher Organization. The
PTO helps the school provide
many additional student-cen-
tered items over the course
of each school year. Over the
past two years, the PTO ha
provided the funds to purchase
more than 1,200 books for the
school library. The school
thanks Liz Chalker, PTO pres-
ident, and Cassie Lindenauer,
chair of Weekend to Roar, and
all the many parents who give
tirelessly to Foundation Acad-
* emy.
The Weekend to Roar fes-
tival was held at the South
Campus, located on 74 acres at
15304 Tilden Road. The Upper
School opened its new facility
in October. Presently, there
are more than 40,000 square
feet of classroom space, and
a multi-purpose gymnasium
will open in May. Reuniting
the elementary school at the
new campus is a high priority

Help Wades recover

from devastating fire


John and LaVerne Wade lost
most of their possessions Dec.
14 when a television in the
master bedroom shorted out
and a fire swept through their
Winter Garden home. Luck-
ily, no one was home, but ev-
erything inside was ruined by
fire, smoke or water.
The Wades have lived a
frugal life, often putting other
people's needs above theirs.
Here is an opportunity for the
community to give back to
John and LaVerne Wade the
care and compassion they have
shown throughout the years.
Their insurance company
will pay only $75,000 toward
the replacement of their home,


and although vendors ai
tractors have signed up
the Wades, additional
are needed to cover the
building a new home.

Church in Winter Garden is

efit the family of Danny Wil-
liford. The 32-year-old woke
up several weeks ago paralyzed
from the waist down, and an
MRI revealed a large mass on
his spine.
Although the tumor was
benign, doctors told Williford
that he probably would never
walk again. Williford, howev-
er, wasn't going to accept that
and was soon up on his feet.
He is now beginning to walk
with the aid of a walker and
is expected to come home this
weekend.
Williford is the son of Junior
and Joyce Williford and plays
the bass guitar in their group.
He is married with four young
children.


DANNY WILLIFORD


The family is in need of
financial assistance, and this
benefit sing will help the Wil-
lifords pay their bills.
The community is invited
to attend. The church is at 643
Coke Ave., and Charles "Bud-
dy" Stephens is the pastor. For

Southwest Orlando Young Life hosts tennis tournament


For the past seven years,
Young Life, an international
youth ministry, has been at
work with teens in the South-
west Orlando area.
The Southwest Orlando
Young Life committee hosted
its inaugural tennis tournament
Jan. 25 at Lake Cane Tennis
Center, and 24 local women
participated in this fund-raising
event.
Participants enjoyed playing
in a round robin, dance card-


style tournament. They had an
opportunity to meet local ten-
nis players, practice their game
and enjoy a relaxed style of play
while raising money for South-
west Orlando Young Life. Par-
ticipants paid to play, and the
event raised more than $700.
Young Life came to South-
west.Orlando in 2001 and is
currently serving students at
Olympia High School. Almost
150 local high school students
are involved with Young Life,


and nearly 50 teens, with their
leaders, attended the Young
Life camp last summer.
Through weekly meetings,
small groups, summer camps,
weekend excursions and one-
on-one time, Young Life leaders
build lifelong relationships with
teenagers.
Young Life is a Christian or-
ganization committed to mak-
ing an impact on kids' lives and
preparing them for the future.
Founded in 1941, Young Life


is active in all 50 states and
more than 53 foreign countries,
reaching an estimated one mil-
lion teenagers annually. More
than 74,000 kids spend a week-
end during the school year or a
week in the summer at one of
Young Life's 20 camping prop-
erties in the U.S. and Canada.

As the defending Metro
Conference Champions with a
roster full of young returning
players, the West Orange High
fastpitch softball team already
had. a bright future. With the
addition of Bobby Brewer as
the new head coach, the Lady
Warriors are poised to improve
on last year's success.
Brewer has been a coaching
institution on the baseball dia-
mond within the city of Apop-
ka. He coached the Blue Darter
baseball team for 18 years and
achieved fame in 2001 by lead-
ing Apopka Little Leaguers to
the finals of the Little League
World Series.
"I was a Blue Darter my
whole life, but now I'm a War-
rior," Brewer said.
Brewer didn't come to WOHS
alone, joining his daughter,
Danielle, on the Lady Warrior
varsity squad. Brewer got a
head start on acquainting him-
self with the West Orange play-
ers by coaching a local travel
softball team during the sum-
mer and the WOHS slowpitch
softball team last fall.
In sizing up the talent at
West Orange's softball pro-
gram, Brewer said he is very
excited about the present and
the future. Last year, West Or-
ange's Metro.Championship
team said farewell to only one
senior. This year's varsity team
has only two seniors, Laci Sch-
wenneker and Shalisa Shirley,
who Brewer described as out-
standing leaders.
West Orange's group of ju-
niors and sophomores, Brewer
said, are among the best in the
county. That group is led by star
pitcher Taylor Fawbush, who
dominated the competition
throughout last year's Metro
Title run.
"Taylor is our horse; we're
going to ride her all season,"
Brewer said. "She's something
special.
"In travel ball during the
summer, we did not see anyone
as good as Taylor," he added.
"She's one of the top five pitch-
ers in Florida."
Unlike baseball, which re-


WOHS infielder Shalisa Shirley, 1 of only 2 seniors on the
team, fields a ball at practice.


quires more rest for pitchers,
fastpitch softball hurlers are
allowed and able to throw al-
most every game for an entire
season. When Fawbush isn't
ready to go, though, Brewer
said sophomore Molly Billue
can step in and keep the team
rolling.
While West Orange's pitch-
ing is certain to give the team
a chance to win every game,
Brewer said the Lady Warriors
will be more aggressive this
season when swinging the bat.
In addition to Danielle Brew-
er, Kelly Lopez has provided
a spark as a newcomer to the
team. Filling out the roster are
Bree Brasch, Jasmine Butler,
Val Proulx, Missy Harvey and
Lauren Smith.
The talent doesn't stop with
the varsity squad. The youth
destined to join Brewer in the
coming years should keep West
Orange atop the Metro stand-
ings for some time.


"Our J.V. team could play on
the level of most varsity teams
in the county," Brewer said.
"The future of West Orange
softball is sky-high."
In action last week, the Lady
Warriors broke Tavares' heart
with a 10-0 beating on Val-
entine's Day. Billue pitched a
no-hitter for the victory and
connected at the plate. Faw-
bush, Brewer and Harvey also
collected big hits;
The Lady Warriors suffered
their first loss of the season with
last Friday's 4-2 defeat against
rival power Boone. Fawbush
took the loss while giving up
3 hits. Shirley, Brewer, Billue,
Butler and Harvey had good
games, though, at the plate.
"We came out flat again and
made some mistakes early that
you can't do against a good
team like Boone," Brewer said.
"We have a tough week coming
up, and we have to start playing
better early in the game."

Ocoee High falls short of state soccer title


West Orange High's new fastpitch softball coach, Bobby Brewer (at right), instructs his
players during practice last week. The Lady Warriors look to repeat as Metro Conference
Champions.


The Knights fell short of
bringing a state soccer title
to Ocoee High with last Fri-
day night's 3-0 loss to Weston
Cypress Bay in the Final Four
opener in Fort Lauderdale.
Ocoee entered the state
semifinal with an eight-game
winning streak and left with
a school-best 23-2-3 record.
Cypress Bay opened the scor-
ing early, knocking in a goal in
only the sixth minute of play. It
marked the first goal allowed by
Ocoee goalie Keneil Baker in
the past four playoff games.
The Knights fought back but
missed shots on goal by Phillip
Borde, Steven Aguirre, Alfredo
Garcia and Kejoun Benjamin.
Cypress Bay extended its lead
with goals at the beginning and
end of the second half.
The Ocoee varsity fastpitch
softball team defeated Wekiva
4-0 last week. Devin Crabb
went 3-for-4, and Brittany
Spencer added 2 hits.
The Lady Knights played to
an 8-8 tie earlier in the week
against Seabreeze. Spencer
pitched a strong game for Ocoee.
Tiffany Coates finished with 3
RBIs, and Crabb connected for
a double and a home run.
The Knight varsity baseball
team defeated First Academy
2-1 last week with a solid pitch-
ing performance by Brad Her-
mesman, who allowed only 2
hits and struck out three batters


in 4 and one-third innings. Mike
Banagale pitched for the save.
Banagale, Brett Butler, C.J. De-
palma and Richie Dilyerd came
up with key hits.
The junior varsity baseball
team lost to Lake Brantley 5-0
last week. Dalton Kelley went
2-for-2 at the plate and shared
pitching duties with Charles
Wells. The J.V. Knights bounced
back last Thursday with a 9-2
victory over Colonial. Leading
hitters were Kelley (3-for-4),
Tad Daughtry (2 RBIs), Sean
Blacketter (2-for-3, 3 RBIs),
Tyler Aul (HR) and Radney
Correa (2 RBIs). Keith Hel-
lebrand notched 3 strikeouts
and gave up 4 hits in three in-
.nings of work. Justin Bass, Ma-
son Minor and Matthew Oset
pitched one inning apiece. The
J.V. Knights played last Satur-
day and suffered a 10-1 loss to
Lake Mary.
The Ocoee varsity boys la-
crosse team defeated Colonial
14-1 last week. Wes Venturino
led the Knights with 6 goals and
2 assists. Shane Gore and Kevin
Bloethner scored 2 goals apiece.
Michael Schimborski, Blaine
Cockcroft, Jeron McFarland
and Jared Sanders each scored
1 goal.
The Knights rallied from
a 6-goal third-quarter deficit
to defeat Freedom last week.
Sanders was dominant on face-
offs to steal momentum for


Ocoee. The Knights scored the
tying and go-ahead.goals in the
game's final minutes. Venturino
and Schimborski scored 4 goals
each, Tyler Chestney broke out
with 3 goals and Cockcroft, Mc-
Farland and Gore added 1 goal
each. The victory improved
Ocoee's record to 3-0.
The junior varsity boys la-
crosse team defeated Freedom
5-2 last week with Andrew Gor-
man recording 5 saves in goal.
Dustin Gallo led Ocoee with 4
goals, and Michael Showalter
scored once.
The Ocoee varsity girls la-
crosse team came back from
two 5-goal deficits against
Freedom and took its first lead
in the final minute off Alexis
Hembrook's game-winning
goal. T.J. Hough scored 7 goals,
and Rasheeda Pierre knocked in
4 goals. Kristi Chatbum played
excellent defense for Ocoee.
The Lady Knights im-
proved to 4-0 last Friday night
by defeating Colonial 12-3.
T.J. Hough led Ocoee with 5
goals.
The Ocoee varsity boys and
girls tennis teams both lost to

By Jon Decker
Head Instructor
Grand Cypress Resort

Are you struggling with
your bunker game? If so,
a quick and easy fix is to
check your footprints in the
sand.
First, take a normal
setup for a typical bunker
shot. Next, step out of your
footprints and look at them.
Then check the following
three points:
Did you dig into the
sand? Get those feet into
the sand. This lowers your
center of gravity allowing
you to hit the ball higher.
Are the footprints equal
depth? If so, this is a bad
sign. The left heel (for a
right-handed golfer) should


be deeper in the sand than the
right foot. Setting the weight
into the left side ensures
proper control of the divot
and avoids unnecessary
movements.
Is the left footprint
deeper in the toe, heel or
equal? The left heel should
be deeper than the left toe.
Setting the weight into the
heel establishes a pivotal
axis to rotate against in the
downswing and follow-
through.
I hope this improves your
bunker play.
Jon Decker is available
for private lessons and
golf schools at the Grand
Cypress Academy of Golf
through April 6. For
more information, call

Cooking alligator at home

Pizza in Winter Garden.



Zia's Grill and Pizza serves Italian

classics and some tasty surprises


By Mary Anne Swickerath


Don't be surprised to see
some Mexican dishes show
up on the menu of a new very
Italian restaurant in Winter
Garden. Zia's Grill and Pizza,
now in its third week of op-
eration, is owned by the hus-
band-and-wife team of Randy
and Lorena Ceccucci. He's
from an Italian-American
S family in Albany, N.Y. She's
from Guadalajara, Mexico.
They met while both were
working for a steak-restaurant
chain. In fact, together they
have a total of 45 years of
experience in the restaurant
business, and they are putting
that experience to use in this
first restaurant of their own.
"What we serve is flavorful
food and drinks," said Randy.
L- "Our food is not bland."
Zia's does indeed serve
ne tasty traditional Italian dishes,
to including richly sauced pastas
(Nonna's Spaghetti, Chicken
Pesto Penne, Lasagna Rolls,
Zia's Favorite Pasta and
IF7 Chicken Fettucine Alfredo),
10-inch individual thin-crust
p'- pizzas and such favorites as
Chicken Parmigiana, Chicken
Picatta and Pork Milanese.
The menu selections from
the grill also reflect the Cec-
cuccis' past career in the
steak-house business with
Zia's Center Cut, Hearty Cut


Sirloin and the NY Strip,
as well as a variety of daily
burger choices.
"Our featured certified-
aged Angus steaks and burg-
ers all come from the same
ranch area within 60 miles of
Colorado Springs," explained
Randy. "The ranchers all use
a strict diet and the same
mountain waters to grow the
cattle, of which only eight of
100 are entered in the Cer-
tified Angus Program. Zia's
guarantees our beef to be sat-
isfying and beats any chain in
the Winter Garden/Clermont
area."
Lorena's Mexican influence
can be seen in such popular
(and spicier) selections as the
Poblano Mashed Potatoes, the
Cream of Cilantro Soup and
the Jalisco Mahi-Mahi.
Two other delicious soups
are the lentil and the tomato.
"All the soups at Zia's are
homemade and from family
recipes," said Randy. "The
Cream of Cilantro is a favor-
ite."
On Valentine's Day last
week, one of the popular
drinks was the Lovers' Punch,
which is a 70-ounce class of
sangria. It's quite impressive.
Drink choices also include
Italian and American beer
and wine, including the Peach
Bellini made with white peach
puree and prosecco (Italy's


answer to champagne).
Five $4.99 children's menu
items are Pork Milanese,
* Chicken Parmigiana, Maca-
roni and Cheese, Choice of
Pasta and Chicken Tenders,
all served with chips, fruit
and a small beverage.
"We also offer the Super
Readers Club for kids," said
Randy. "If they bring in a
book report with author, title
and illustrator of a book at
least 40 pages long, they get
a free kid's meal and will be
listed on our Web site for all
to view."
Randy grew up in a neigh-
borhood in Albany where
many of his relatives lived.
The word "zia'" is Italian
for aunt, and he named the
restaurant as a tribute to the
many aunts who were part
of his childhood. His love of
family is also shown in the
framed wedding certificate of
his great-great-grandmother
that hangs in a place of honor
in the restaurant.
Zia's, located at 15493
Stoneybrooke West Parkway,
is open Monday through Sun-
day from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Lunch hours are 11 a.m. to
3 p.m.
Zia's is a warm and wel-
coming place where you can
have a steak dinner or pasta,
pizza or soup and it's all
tasty.


Top-rated restaurants around
the country are featuring alli-
gator in their menus following
the trend of using Florida alli-
gator meat as a gourmet food.
Chefs are grilling, sauteing or
frying the meat and serving it
as an entr6e or an appetizer.
The unique flavor, delicious
taste and variety of dishes that
can be made from the meat
make the Florida alligator an
tasty choice for any meal.
If you have. never tasted
Florida alligator, the firm
white meat is extra lean, has
a light-grained texture and a
mild flavor that is similar to
veal. The darker meat has a
strong flavor and a texture that
resembles pork shoulder.
Alligator is also a good
choice for healthy eating.
Compared to other meats, it is
low in fat and cholesterol and
high in protein, and cooking al-
ligator meat at home is actually
quite simple.
Alligator is .available in a
variety of cuts, including tail-
meat fillets, ribs, nuggets and
wings. Cook using either a
short cooking time with high
heat, like searing, pan-frying
or deep frying, or try a long,
slow method, like simmering
in a sauce, stewing or braising.
The meat can also be chopped
fine or ground to make patties,
sausage or taco filling.
Check with your local gro-
cery store or seafood market
for alligator meat or log on
to the Florida Department of
Agriculture and Consumer
Services' Bureau of Seafood
and Aquaculture Web site at
www.Fl-Seafood.com for on-
line and retail sources, as well
as more recipes.

The 5th-graders in Miss Carter's class at Spring Lake Elementary recreated historical
'celebrities' out of cans and other materials. Pictured are: Alondra Barajas, Eddy Caneup,
Olga Diaz, McKenzie Dyke, Katrina Harper, Kylee Jennings, Shaun Kallner, Maddasun
LeBruno, Antonio Rodriguez, Jesus Rosas, Michael Stewart, Jonathan Torres, Stephen
Wayt, Courtney Cawley and Janai Ocasio. Not pictured are Ana Escalante and Edgar
Ramirez.


Celebrities in history
The fifth-grade students in
Miss Carter's class at Spring
Lake Elementary made people
from history come alive recent-
ly. While studying the historical
period of 1451 to 1718, each
child selected someone influ-
ential in America's growth dur-


ing that time to study.
The class called these his-
torical figures their "Celebri-
ties in History." The students
then became the paparazzi
for their historical celebrity and
researched everything they
could and then re-created the
person out of cans and various


materials.
Each can was the physical
likeness of the person, based
on looks, occupation and daily
dress. The students learned
about Christopher Columbus,
Squanto, Anne Hutchinson,
Pocahontas, William Penn,
John Cabot and many others.


Paulina Clapperton shows
the 11 inches of hair she do-
nated to Locks of Love.
Locks of Love
Southwest Middle student
Paulina Clapperton, a 7th-
grader, donated 11 inches of
her hair to Locks of Love. The
organization creates hairpieces
for financially disadvantaged
children under the age of 18.
Since its inception as a non-
profit organization, Locks of
Love has helped more than
2,000 children in the U.S. and
Canada who have lost their
hair due to long-term medical
reasons.
The hair prostheses are giv-
en to the children free of charge
or on a sliding scale based on
financial need. The donated
hairpieces help restore a sense
of self confidence and normal-
cy to children who suffer from
hair loss.

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


Bejoyfiul always ,,,.., '.'.,I;., I give thanks
in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you
in Christ Jesus.
I Thessalonians 5: 16-18

Would it surprise you to know that God's will
for you is to be joyful always? Based on this
verse it is crystal clear that God intends for you
to have deep profound joy. Why then is there so
much about suffering, discipline and struggle in
the Christian walk?
On the surface, it seems like a "Don't worry,
-be happy" mentality-Life is going to be hard
but God wants you to be happy anyway: Gut it
up; tighten your belt, smile like a good soldier!!!
God's not after your happiness, only your holi-
ness. Many a believer through the centuries
(including myself) have taken that stance toward
life and found i mi.,,in ,cinmetihinig

dured the cross..." (Heb 12:2) Sounds like a
little bit of delayed gratification. He didn't suf-
fer miserably in some kind ofmasochistic glee-
it was hard and horrible. But, He knew the pay-
off and that gave Him joy in it.
What if this verse is giving us the way to get
there? I've known a few people that have genu-
inely tried to pray continually-through the
dishes and the commotion of life-people that
find something to thank God for in everything
from severed fingers to new responsibilities. I've
had moments when it has clicked for me too and
I am truly joyful-notjust a little happy, but "got
the giggles, ROFLOL" gleeful. Truly, "In His
presence IS the fullness of joy." (Ps 16:11) 1
can't say that I can do it all the time, but when it
happens, I can truly see how much joy it gives.
I can feel how much joy it gives to Him too. It's

A scene from West Orange High's.award-winning production of 'Holy Ghosts.'


Thespians to compete
The West Orange High the-
ater students will be traveling to
Chattanooga, Tenn., on March
4 to compete at the 59th annual
Southeastern Theatre Confer-
ence with their award-winning
production of Holy Ghosts.
The Thespians were chosen
from high school productions
across the state to be the one
school to represent' Florida
against winning shows from
Mississippi, Tennessee, North
Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, West Vir-
ginia, Virginia and Kentucky.
They took the top honors for
Florida last fall at the Florida
Theatre Conference in Lake-
land. In addition to Holy Ghosts
winning first place, Senior Rob
Mobley was named Best Actor,
freshman James Bartel won
Best Featured Actor and senior


Whitney Abell was placed on
the All-Star Cast.
The Southeastern Theatre

est regional theater festival,
and the WOHS students will

more than 280 theatrical work-
shops.
Holy Ghosts is under the di-
rection of Ken Rush, who took
top honors at the 2004 SETC
with a production of Children of
a Lesser God.
The current production deals
with a rural religious commu-
nity whose church services
include the handling of poison-
ous snakes to show their devo-
tion and belief in the power of
God.
The show features a cast
and crew of 24 actors and
technicians: Cole Abell, Whit-
ney Abell, James'Bartel, Ken-


dra Bartel, Giany Beltran,
Aimee Berger, Bryan Blount,

Penny Harvest Drive
Students at Lakeview Mid-
dle collected more than $1,000
during the school's first Penny
Harvest Drive. Unlike other
programs, this one puts the
most important decisions in
the hands of students the
Penny Harvest Philanthropic
Roundtable. They decide
which community problems to
tackle and how to get the job
done.
The students, nominated for
their outstanding community


involvement by their teachers,
undertake the challenge of us-
ing the Penny Harvest funds
to make grants to non-profit
organizations.
These young philanthropists
identify and prioritize com-
munity needs, research, visit
local organizations (such as
senior homes and shelters),
interview local government
leaders and make the tough
decisions on how the funds
can best make a difference in
the community.

West Orange High recently honored its Most Valuable Seniors of the Month, sponsored
by the Elks Club. The students were chosen by their English teachers for their out-
standing effort and dedication in the classroom. Pictured during the presentation of the
awards are Principal James Larsen, Samantha Dale, Sonia Cherichel, Tiffannie Williams,
Fabian Smith and Ray DeWesse, Elks representative. 4


Oakland Avenue Charter School 1st-graders Sarah Bare-
foot and Cameron Fleming enjoyed a recent field trip to
Islands of Adventure at Universal. They completed a scav-

their faces painted.

Orange County
School Board meets
The School Board of Or-
ange County met Feb. 12 and
approved the offer to purchase
land for Edgewater High reno-
vation. The board members ap-
proved a binding written offer
of $26,927,365 to the owner
and tenants of land in the vi-
cinity of the current school
site.
The need to purchase addi-
tional land was identified sev-
eral years ago. The district's
Five Year Capital Plan calls for
renovations of the Edgewater
campus to be completed by
the beginning of the 2010-11
school year.
. In order to meet that dead-
line, it will be necessary to
begin renovations by the sum-
mer of 2008. The offer amount
represents the highest of four
separate appraisals conducted
since January 2007, plus an es-
timated $648,365 for fixtures
and immovable assets on the
land occupied by a shopping
center.
Board members heard a re-
port on the expenditure of lot-
tery funds as of Dec. 31, 2007,
which totaled $3,345,421.
OCPS uses lottery funds pri-
marily for teacher salaries and
benefits. In addition, $10 per
student is required to be spent
on the school improvement
planning process for the cur-
rent fiscal year.
Less than one percent of the
district's budgeted operating
revenues are funded from lot-
tery funds, which would pay
approximately 1.1 days of op-
erating cost that occur during
a regular school year.
The board approved Cer-
tificates of Final Inspection
for two construction projects,
both of which were completed
under budget. Improvements
at the Lake Nona Transporta-
tion Center had an approved
budget of $7,336,907 but were
completed for $6,740,221.
The renovation of Tildenville
Elementary had an approved
budget of $12,233,350 but was
completed for $12,194,586 -
a savingsof $38,764.
