Jeb Bush stopped at Maxey Elementary School in Winter Garden on Monday, focus- ing statewide attention on the school's success story. Maxey was a "D" school in 2001 and then a "C" school in 2002 before boosting itself to an "A" school last year. In 2004, 54 percent of Maxey's 291 students were reading at or above grade level as compared to 43 percent two years ago prov- ing that the faculty, staff and stu- dents are living the school motto: "Teamwork makes the dream work." To commend the students and staff on their outstanding perfor- mance, Gov. Bush planned this visit to Maxey to congratulate 'Principal Belinda Davis and her team. During his stop at Maxey, the governor spent some time in Christine Home's third-grade class for a reading lesson. Then he held a press conference to announce his plan to make reading (See Governor, 16A) Gov. Jeb Bush observes teacher Christine Home as she teaches a reading lesson to her 3rd-graders at Maxey Ele- mentary School.

But last week, the noise was too familiar and too close. Two days in a row, the West Orange com- munity heard these warning calls. On Wednesday, Gaston Roy Johnson, 14, was struck and killed when a sport utility vehi- cle hit him just after he and his sister came off the school bus near their MetroWest home. Johnson was a freshman at Olympia High School. Bobbie Hills, 42, the operator of the Chevrolet truck, was dri- ving even though her license had been revoked due to a medical condition. She was taken to the hospital with injuries, and Flori- da Highway Patrol officers responding to the scene think she might have had a seizure. The accident occurred around 2 p.m. Jan. 5 on Hiawassee Road at Cantrell Court, an intersection which residents have described as dangerous. The boy's mother, who arrived at the scene shortly after the collision, was so dis- traught that she also required medical transport. On Thursday, a three-car crash at the intersection of Lake Butler Boulevard and County Road 535 took the life of Dusten Alan Bur- ruezo, 17, a former Olympia High student. Burruezo, a Gotha resident, was a passenger in a Ford Mus- tang driven by Derrick Linder, another former Olympia student who had transferred to Dr. Phillips High School last year. He and a second passenger, David Foyteck, 18, a junior at Olympia, were both taken to Orlando Regional Medical Cen- ter. The accident occurredabout 5 p.m. when a GMC truck drivenlt by Patricia Ramirez, 44, strtik the Ford, which collided with a 2001 Dodge truck driven by Charles Boisrond, 66. Both accidents are still under investigation by Florida High- way Patrol, and reports were not available by presstime Tuesday. Olympia High called in repre- sentatives of the Orange County Public Schools SAFE Office to deal with this crisis. These coun- selors, along with OHS SAFE coordinators Molly Sidwell and Stephen John; were on campus all day Thursday, and Friday to facilitate support groups for the friends of the deceased students. "We have been very fortunate in that our school has come together to help one another deal with these crises," OHS Admin- istrative Dean David Osborn told The West Orange Times. "The morale on campus, of course, has been sad; however, we have witnessed firsthand how truly the hearts of all of our teachers, students and adminis- tration share a common. goal in looking forward with hope and healing." He commended Sidwell and John for working diligently and quickly to address the needs of the students and staff. Osborn also said two memori- als will be erected in memory of both Roy and Dusten, and there is also a plan to plant trees on the campus with a plaque remem- bering and honoring both of the students. Rye Merriam, senior director of Transportation and Support Services for OCPS, told the Times that he and his staff have been examining the bus routes along Hiawassee Road, looking for a safe bus stop location. He said they took a school bus through the area near the site of last week's first accident and attempted to drive through John- son's neighborhood, Wellington Forest. Merriam said there was no place in the neighborhood for the bus to turn around. "Everyone realizes Hiawassee is a very dangerous road," said Merriam. After a thorough look at the situation, Merriam said, he concluded "the safest spot is the area where the student was hit." However, Merriam said the transportation department is open to suggestions and sched- uled a meeting Wednesday at the Publix Supermarket on Hiawassee at 7:30 p.m. Rickey Horton, OCPS senior adminis- trator of operations for the west side, said he would lead the community meeting to find a (See Teens, 3A) Reliving history Historical re-enactor Wayne Vaughn, a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, played a part in the Civil War encampment last week on the West Orange High football field.

Ocoee awards $16,500 in grants for improvements By Mary Anne Swickerath In Ocoee's ongoing effort to encourage community improve- ments and volunteer involve- ment, the City Commission awarded grants totaling $16,500 to six neighborhood groups and the West Orange Christian Ser- vice Center last week for a vari- ety of projects. This MVP Neighborhood Matching Grant Program has been in operation for the past several years and, according to Assistant to the City Manager Janet Shira, "assists neighbor- hoods and Ocoee organizations with projects that will enhance property values, educate the public, provide cultural and recreational opportunities or contribute to the safety and secu- rity of our residents." Six of the groups received the maximum award of $2,500. The Admiral Pointe neighborhood will work on beautifying the Keaton Parkway median. The estimated cost is $4,269, and the subdivision will contribute $1,769 in cash and 110 hours of volunteer labor. Cambridge Village will add sign, lighting, landscaping and playground improvements at an estimated cost of $3,700. The neighborhood will contribute $600 in cash, $400 worth of in- kind contributions and 120 vol- unteer hours. The West Orange Christian Service Center will install a security fence around the perimeter of its property on Franklin Street. The project is estimated to cost $5,500 with an estimated organization contribu- tion of $3,000 cash and 130 vol- unteer hours. The Hamrhocks neighborhood will replace street and traffic signs with decorative signs at an estimated cost of $5,778. The subdivision will contribute $3,278 in cash and 76 volunteer hours. Lake Olympic Club residents will replace their subdivision entrance signs on Clarke Road for an estimated cost of $3,135. The neighborhood will con- tribute $1,568 in cash and 72 volunteer hours. Sleepy Harbour homeowners will repair their boat ramp, replace sand in eroded areas and repaint their fence at a projected cost of $3,000. The neighbor- hood will contribute $500 cash plus 208 hours of volunteer labor. The Hidden Glen subdivision, with its $1,500 grant, plans to remove tree stumps and plant new trees as a result of hurricane damage. The project's cost is estimated at $1,800, with the neighborhood contributing an estimated $500 in cash, $1,000 worth of in-kind contributions and 110 hours of volunteer labor. Commissioner Danny Howell asked about the status of his neighborhood's MVP applica- tion, which was not included in the list of those receiving grants. Shirer had no record of it but was directed by the consensus of the commission to review the matter for possible funding. In other action, the elected officials: approved the preliminary and final site plan for the Shoppes of Ocoee, located on the north side of West Colonial Drive and east of Blackwood Avenue across from Health Cen- tral. This project on nearly five acres will include a restaurant and retail establishment in a 33,938-square-foot building. There will be outside seating for the restaurant and a clock tower. approved the preliminary (See Ocoee, 16A) raeas~-rrcla~aaaraa~F-;lb ;S~c 4~a~i~;~a=1~sysrer z -. ..--e'A -- -X.,.& L-a 4m3~vM- -; L:.. 2A The West Orange Times Thursday, January 13, 2005 Obituaries DOROTHY M.

S James Pike Davis of Winter :':* Garden died Monday, Jan. 10, at age 60. He was diagnosed Dec. 20 with pancreatic cancer, which had metastasized. Born in Orlando, Davis grew up in Winter Garden, graduating 'from Lakeview High School in i 1962. His parents, Bob and Billy :Davis, owned Davis Pharmacy, S and his uncle and aunt, Collie "C.M." and Enid Biggers, were the owners of the Gem and Win- ter Garden movie theaters. Because of his downtown Win- ter Garden connection, Davis was widely known as a child at the pharmacy and theater and along the sidewalks in between. S His wife of 37 years, Andy, S was his childhood sweetheart. "I have a picture of us in the first grade and we're sitting side by side," she said. The class- 'mates were students of Ms. Hen- derson at Winter Garden Ele- Smentary School. "I have a little piece of paper that he wrote when he was 8 and his mother kept it all those years : and gave it to me when we were Married. It said: 'I love Andy very much, and I have never saw a finer girl....I will never forget you.'" Davis left Lakeview High School in the ninth grade to S attend Bob Jones University's Teens better solution. Dick and Joyce Adams, resi- dents of the Woodbridge on the i Green subdivision near the site of last week's accident at CR 535 and Lake Butler Boulevard, have been pleading to get a traf- fic signal installed at that loca- tion for more than a year. Joyce told the Times Monday she had submitted a petition with more than 300 signatures to County Commissioner Teresa Jacobs in March requesting a traffic signal at the intersection after Hollis Holden, Winter Gar- den city manager, told them the county was responsible for the interchange signals. S. In April, Jacobs asked County Chairman Rich Crotty to 'find a way to address the situation. Back in December 2003, the Adamses learned from the Orange County Traffic Engi- neering Division that the inter- section had been annexed by the city of Winter Garden and pur- sued the matter with the city. After the accident last Thurs- day, Joyce Adams said the two governments are in a "Mexican S standoff. They're blaming each other. "What we were afraid of has happened," she said. Holden discussed the situa- tion with the Times on Monday. He said the intersection improvements are currently being designed and Winter Gar- S den has also agreed to install and maintain the signal if the county would do the intersec- tion improvements. He said, Winter Garden has appropriated $100,000 for this JIMMY DAVIS academy for a few years. The rebel, as Andy put it, returned to Lakeview for his senior year, and the two graduated together.. In 1964, he received his Asso- ciate in Arts degree from 'Andrew College in Cuthbert, Ga. In 1968-69, he was selected the West Orange Jaycees Young Farmer of the Year. After college, Davis worked for his cousin, Donald Biggers, at Tri Tiki Nursery on McKin- non Road in Windermere. He worked there for eight years before starting his own nursery, Parkway Nursery Inc. He most recently worked for Fern Farms. "He loved that job," Andy said. "He ran the nursery, grow- ing ferns, which he loved." He was also faithful to the First United Methodist Church work and is asking the county to pay an estimated $30,000 for the asphalt and striping for a left-turn lane. Ruby Rozier, manager of the Orange County Traffic Engi- neering Division, said Monday, "To my knowledge, Orange County has no intention of improving this intersection, which is in the city of Winter Garden." Graciela Noriega Jacoby, an administrative aide for Commis- sioner Jacobs, who was hospi- talized Monday, said, "[The commissioner] is very disheart- ened with the situation after .repeatedly asking for a traffic signal to go up and will ask the county mayor to appropriate funds and argue later whose responsibility it is." On behalf of the commission- er,. Noriega wrote a memo to Crotty Monday regarding the two accidents. The letter requests the instal- lation of a signal on Hiawassee Road between Westpoint Boule- vard and Conroy-Windermere Road to break the flow of the high levels of traffic on the road and to slow down the speed at which the traffic is flowing. "In light of the recent tragedy, Commissioner Jacobs has asked me to implore you to revisit the decision of installing a traffic signal in this corridor," Noriega wrote. -The letter also asks for fund- ing for improvements at Lake Butler Boulevard and CR 535. "While Commissioner Jacobs recognizes that this portion of Lake Butler Boulevard is within of nurturing of Winter Garden, serving on one of the usher teams and working on the landscape com- mittee. Andy said he enjoyed keeping the church flowers "fresh with the seasons." Davis' latest church project was working on the irrigation system. Andy said he enjoyed water sports, giving plants to other people, telling stories and mak- ing people laugh. Jimmy was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Robert Adair Davis. In addition to his wife, Jimmy is survived by his son, Pike Adair Davis and his wife, Holly, of Marion, N.C.; his daughter, Megan Marie Thompson and her husband, Keith, of Ocala; three grandchildren all of whom carry on part of their grandfa- ther's name Pike Everette Davis, Anna Elizabeth Davis,' Zachary Davis Thompson; and one sister, Angilee Schultz, of Fort Lauderdale. A memorial service was planned for this Wednesday, Jan. S12, at 11 a.m. at the First United Methodist Church of Winter Garden, 125 N. Lakeview Ave., with the Rev. Dr. James I. Reeher officiating.

(Continued from front page) the city limit [of Winter Gar- den], it connects to a county road and a considerable number of citizens using that intersec- tion are residents of unincorpo- rated Orange County.

In MetroWest a 14-year-old boy stepped off his school bus and was immediately struck by an SUV. The driver apparently lost control after experiencing a seizure while driving with a revoked license. Not your everyday accident. The crash hap- pened on a stretch of Hiawassee Road that is notorious for fast traffic despite many side streets and commercial egresses. The School Board is looking for alter- nate sites but maintains that the current residential neighborhood bus stop is the safest alternative. The city of Orlando should consider slowing the traffic on that section of Hiawassee Road, which is nei- ther flat nor straight. Slowing the traffic to 35 mph could improve a safety problem that goes much further than a school bus stop. All accidents cannot be prevented, but at least attention is now focused on this dangerous section of Hiawassee Road. In Winter Garden, a 17-year-old boy died at the intersection of Lake Butler Boulevard and County Road 535, an inter- section that has been much talked about for a long time. In a West Orange Times editorial on May 6, 2004, we recommend- ed that "until 535 is completely four-laned with adequate traffic lights something should be done in the interim. Setting up temporary lights or slowing down traffic might help." The city of Winter Garden has done planning and engineering for a traffic light at the intersection. A letter to the Times in December from Winter Garden City Man- ager Hollis Holden said they would install 35 years ago Gay Browder, 10-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Blair Browder of Winter Garden, had an. unforgettable Christmas holiday. She performed with the Ballet Royal and the Florida Symphony Orchestra in the "Nutcracker Suite." SP4 Willie Weatherspoon of Winter Garden has been awarded the nation's third highest medal, the Silver Star, for gallantry in action while serving in Vietnam as a machine gunner with the Ninth Infantry. He also received the Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts. 30 years ago Barbara Roper of Winter Garden was named chairman of the 1975 Walt Disney World Commu- nity Service Awards Committee. During the first three years of the program, 63/ awards totaling $75,000 were given. The second annual Winter Garden Horse Show, benefitting the Lakeview High School Band, will the light, "if the county would complete the study's recommended improvements to the intersection formed by C.R. 535/Lake Butler Boulevard/West Orange Country Club Drive -all county-owned and maintained." Now, while the county's Traffic Engi- neering division maintains that it's not its responsibility, County Commissioner Teresa Jacobs has asked the county mayor to make it happen because the cost is min- imal and the need high. A high volume of hurried Disney traffic has made crossing 535 at Lake Butler Boulevard a challenge for drivers for 35 years. And now dozens of subdivisions, thousands of new homes and residents, along with a steady stream of construction trucks, have been adding to the traffic for years. So why did this intersection, and the one at C.R. 535 and Tilden Road, not war- rant traffic lights until last year. Apparently the standards only looked at the number of cars coming from the side streets of Tilden Road and Lake Butler Boulevard/West Orange Country Club 'Drive. They didn't take into account the amount of traffic on C.R. 535 or the speed in which it was traveling. And it didn't take into account the number of houses planned or under construction. Maybe the local governments should have made better provisions when the gro- cery store or the drug store or the gas sta- tion was approved for that intersection in order to make necessary improvements. Don't allow a poor set of standards replace common sense and result in poor decisions. Get some long-overdue traffic signals Up and help diffuse a dangerous situation. And in the meantime, every dri- ver should exercise extreme caution. :b6ieheld *at the L. Frank Roper Stables.

I.g - Reader opinions Letters to the editor Letter praises Commissioner Bill Thompson Dear Editor: I'm writing this letter in support of my District 1 Commissioner Bill Thompson. I've known Bill for 23 years. I first met him when he was serving as ath- letic director of Memorial Junior High. I got to know Bill really well. He was the most- respected athletic director in the entire county. He was very efficient and knew all the Florida High School Athletic Association rules and regulations. He always followed the rules to the "nth" degree. While serving as assistant principal of Dr. Phillips High School in 1987, I recommended Bill Thomp- son to Bill Spoone, the principal, for the position of athletic director. Later, as principal of Oak Ridge High School, I observed, first hand, Bill's dedica- tion, both ethically and professionally, to his work. He is presently serving as a consultant tothe Orange County Schools' athletic director, Trish Highland. Bill works primarily in making sure all the schools are in compliance with the Florida High School Ath- letic Association rules and regulations. There is no way Bill Thompson would violate the Dear Ed We re written 6 edition thanked ilies" su it is we This ] this pro Christm Florida Sunshine Law. His life has been spent inter- preting and enforcing rules and regulations. I can't believe that the people in District 1 would really think that Bill has broken any Sunshine Laws. What really concerns me is that the Florida Statute 100.361, Municipal Recall, has no provisions for allowing Mr. Thompson an opportunity to face his accusers and prove his innocence. In America, a person is assumed innocent until proven guilty. If the people in District 1 don't want Mr. Thomp- son to be their commissioner, they can vote him out in 2006. If they want to keep the trailer park, they have eight years to change the city's position. In the meantime, the city is willing to buy or pay to relo- cate trailers. I understand that some of the people living there like that option. Some people who don't live in District 1, or even in Winter Garden, are pushing this "witch hunt." This is our problem and "outsiders" should keep out. Keep Bill Thompson!

TH a weekly newspaper 720 Dillard St. Winter Garden Florida 34787 S Editor: This article is being written to and for all the people of the Earth. I would like to give you some of my thoughts about universal harmony, peace and prosperity. Most of this will concern only the Earth. We have not had total harmony, peace and pros- perity on Earth for many, many years. Just let someone have a different opinion on anything, and we would throw a war on it in a heartbeat. I am as patriotic as the next person is, and I know if any country is attacked, that country has to defend itself. But here is the way to a new beginning. I believe if all religions and all countries would pray in all sincerity and honesty for their Highest Power to bless the universe with harmony, peace and prosperity that all these barbaric wars will come to an end. Would that not be the greatest thing ever? We are not going to eliminate all wars with bombs and bullets; we should know that by now. The only way to end all wars is by educating each other in our own ways with love and care. We need to learn how to agree to disagree with- out war agree to disagree in harmony. Harmo- ny creates peace, and peace creates prosperity. Do you see how simple that is?

Highest Power, we do riot all have to look alike, think alike or have the same customs to live in peace. With all of the world's modern methods of communication, we could get this message out to all of earth's people in a short matter of time. We cannot even imagine how much we could accomplish with the manpower and money we could save without wars. Just think of all the young people of the world who would not die young. Everyone worldwide would have the very best of healthcare, there would be no more starva- tion and everyone would be educated to the best of his or her ability. There is no end to what we could accomplish in every aspect of life. The reason I use the word "universe" in this article is that I believe the universe has many more intelligent beings than just the ones here on Earth. Let's open our eyes and look at the big pic- ture and include them to help achieve our mission. I would like to ask of all the people on Earth to desire this mission to be successful. For if we do, it will be successful. We are on the right path. I thank you for your attention, and pray for all mankind that we will make this a success. Carl M.

The new office, called Winder- mere Horizons, is located in the Summerport Village Shopping Center off State Road 535 near Keene's Point. Signature GMAC Operations Manager Paul Kessler called the region one of Orange County's fastest-growing and most dynamic residential markets. According to Kessler, Signa- ture GMAC has signed a five- year lease for just under 3,000 square feet and joins main anchor Publix in the plaza, which is located at 13524 Summerport Village Parkway. Realtor Christopher Sampson, who has been with Signature GMAC since 2002, is branch manager of the office that, when fully staffed, will have 30-35 full-time sales associates.

Central Florida Native ADDING A DECK INCREASES HOME VALUE While adding a new deck is not quiet as profitable an improvement as a state- of-the-art-kitchen remodel, it will defi- nitely add to the marketability of your property. Whether a home is nestled in the pines or perched on a rise overlook- ing the ocean, most homeowners appre- ciate the idea of being able to to relax on an outdoor deck, where they can enjoy fresh air and the views of the sur- rounding landscape while barbecuing dinner. Docks need to be .maintained in order to look their best. Wooden decks should be re-stained once a year to pro- tect the wood from weather damage. An alternative is vinyl coated decking, which is relatively maintenance free. Design a deck that has ample room for your family's activities. You may want to buy patio furniture, a barbecue grill, a ping pong table or perhaps a hot tub. Make a list of deck furniture and accessories before you decide how many square feet of decking to add. Think of the deck as an extension of the living areas of your home, a place where your family will spend social time together and with guests. Get several bids from reputable licensed contractors before you choose one. Ask contractors for a cost break- down of materials and labor and an esti- mate of howlong th deck will take to complete.

"This office location is a great complement to our growing Cen- tral Florida operations and an excellent business opportunity for Signature GMAC," said Kessler. "We're really excited about this location and delighted to be a part of this dynamic real estate market." The opening of the Winder- mere Horizons office leaves Sig- nature GMAC with nine sales branches and approximately 200 sales associates serving the Cen- tral Florida market. November resort tax collections Orange County Comp- troller Martha Haynie announced last week that resort tax collections continue to increase. The revenues received by the county in Decem- ber for the hotel collec- tion month of November amounted to $9,234,000. Resort taxes are charged on short-term rentals, mostly hotels and motels. Haynie noted that col- lections, by the county for November were almost 10 percent above collections received dur- ing the previous Novem- ber. "The $9.2 million col- lected in November rep- resents the highest amount ever collected for the month of Novem- ber," Haynie said. "This is the sixth consecutive month where monthly collections received were the highest amount collected of record for that month." Westgate Resorts recognized by AARP Westgate Resorts was recent- ly named one of only 35 com- panies, and one of only three in Florida, on AARP's list of the "Best Employers for Workers Over 50" in the United States. The 2004 awards come as recent projections point toward a continued jump in the per- centage of mature workers in the economy. Fourteen percent of the work- force is now aged 55 years or older, with that figure expected to reach 19 percent by 2012, according to AARP. Actually, 18 percent of Westgate Resorts' employees are 50 and over, including 13 percent of all employees hired in 2003. AARP honored companies on its list for having a solid record of retaining and promoting work- ers in the 50-plus age group. Westgate Resorts President David Siegel said he doesn't see workers 50 and over as older, but more experienced. "In today's workplace, very few people stay with one com- pany 15 to 20 years," Siegel said. "If I'm going to have an employee with me for five years, there are numerous advantages to having the five years between 55 and 60." To attract 50-plus workers, Westgate Resorts actively recruits them through advertis- ing and by tailoring certain ben- efits programs toward their spe- cific needs. At Westgate Resorts, retirees can tap into the company's 401(k) retirement plan at age 59-and-a-half without penalty. Full-time employees are offered health care, prescription cover- age, dental and vision, as well as short-term and long-term dis- ability. Fifty-plus employees can also take advantage of career counseling, cross-train- ing opportunities and profes- sional development, classes, including classes in computer skills. Bronson seeks families who have owned farms for 100 years With less than two percent of Americans now living on farms, not many can trace their agricultural heritage back 100 years. Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bron- son wants to honor Floridians who have maintained at least 100 years of continuous family farm ownership by certifying them as Century Pioneer Fami- ly Farms. Florida has 176 certified Century Pioneer Family Farms in the program, which was ini- tiated by the Florida depart- ment of Agriculture and Con- sumer Services and is now administered by the depart- ment's Floridi Agricultural Museum. Bronson is asking families that have continuously owned a farm or ranch since 1905 to contact the department and request an application form. All families previously designated as Florida Century Pioneer Farm Families are also asked to contact the department to update their information. Family members do not have to live in the state or on the property continuously, but title to at least part of the property must have remained in the fam- ily throughout the period for the family to be eligible for recognition.

The league annually funds scholarships for deserving seniors graduating from West Orange, Dr. Phillips and Olympia high schools. The event also included a presentation about packing tips for trav- elers. Pictured (1-r) are league members Dorene McClellan, Nancy Spain, Jan Coudriet and Jenny Peters. k* A Traditionally, the Windermere Garden Club and the preschool- ers from Windermere Union Church gather together to plant a tree for Florida Arbor Day. This year, the Windermere Tree Board has expanded the celebration with activities on both Friday, Jan. 21, and Satur- day, Jan. 22. The customary tree planting will take place at Johnson Park at the corner of Sixth and Sev- enth avenues on Friday at 10 a.m. In addition, the Tree Board will decorate all trees planted on previous Arbor days with bows to acknowledge the impact that trees have on the community. On Saturday, a special Art in the Park: Treebtite is planned in Palmer Park on Second Avenue. This event will include tree planting demonstrations by local Boy Scout troops, along with tool sharpening opportunities, drama presentations, exhibits by nature artists, healthy foods, contests and more. Several years ago, the Win- dermere Rotary Club built a raised walkway around an enor- mous cypress tree, which later died. The majestic cypress tree will be the focus of Jerry Stringham, a chainsaw artist who will con- vert the tree into a Tree of Life, reflecting the Florida flora and fauna. This natural Treebute will provide habitat for wildlife while slowly breaking down to become part of the earth again. An example of the artist's work can be seen in Johnson Park. The "Grandmother" water oak that fell during Hurricane Frances is now a "sofa" bench. Groups or organizations can make arrangements to partici- pate in the event, by calling Janet Maland at 407-466-6030.

Pictured with Gov. Jeb Bush during his visit to Maxey Elementary School Monday are (I-r) in back, the state representative from Ocala, Florida Education Commissioner John Winn, the governor, Maxey Elementary Principal Belinda Davis and Orange County Superintendent of Schools Ron Blocker with several Maxey students. Governor funds a permanent part of the public school funding formula. After his classroom visit, Bush told the assembled audience of mostly local officials: '"The mira- cle of learning to read was taking place. They were grinding it out - every child can learn." He complimented the Maxey students on their good behavior and noted that all the third- graders answered questions in complete sentences. He suggest- ed adults could follow their example. Joining Gov. Bush for the press conference were Education Com- missioner John Winn, Orange County Superintendent of Schools Ron Blocker, Mayor Jack Quesinberry of Winter Gar- den, Ocoee Mayor Scott Vander- grift and other state and local dig- nitaries. In his remarks, the governor emphasized, "There are no more excuses in this state. Every child can learn a year's worth of knowledge in a year's time. A student's ability to read unlocks the door to learning and empow- ers students to achieve their dreams." The governor is enhancing his commitment to reading by proposing a $43.3 million increase in reading initiatives for 2005-06. This is 30 percent greater than the current year's funding. In addition, Gov. Bush recom- mended that reading funding should have the same annual increase as the public school funding formula receives annual- ly. He is also proposing the estab- lishment of two entities to help struggling readers the Just Read, Florida Office and the Florida Center for Reading Research at Florida State Univer- sity.

It will include $15 mil- lion for statewide educator pro- fessional development courses and workshops, as well as diag- nostic-teaching tools to deter- mine a school's reading instruc- tion needs. There will be $111.8 million for intensive reading instruction, district-specific training and research-based instructional reading materials. In addition, the funding provides for hiring 300 new reading coaches, for a total of 1,000 statewide. Federal funding of $58 million will allow for reading coaches, diagnostic assessments and tailored professional devel-. opment on reading instruction targeting kindergarten through third grade. The Florida Center for Reading Research at FSU will receive $1.6 million. Julia Jackson has been the reading coach at Maxey Elemen- tary for two years. Her position is funded through a grant from Just Read, Florida. Jackson told The West Orange Times that she is an extra resource for Maxey's classroom teachers and they know they can count on her. She helps them come up with new ways to teach reading lessons. "I've been in teaching for 10 years," said Jackson, "but I still get ideas from other teachers. We all learn from each other. We all have different styles." She can also support teachers in other ways, such as taking children into smaller groups when extra help is needed. "[The teacher] knows she has an extra hand," Jackson said.

Local schools : Maxey and Palm Lake elemen- tary and Lakeview and South- west middle schools are in the selected group. A regression analysis process that compared proven student achievement to other economic and social indicators were used to identify schools performing beyond expectations. "Basically, we looked for schools that are beating the odds," said Bill Sublette, chair- man of the Blue Ribbon Panel. "We know that certain factors, such as poverty and high mobil- ity in the student population, typically reduce a school's abili- ty to hit high marks in student achievement. Our study identi- fied those schools that perform in spite of these traditional chal- lenges and barriers." Panel members, in conjunc- tion with the University of Cen- tral Florida Academy for Teach- ing, Learning and Leadership, have already begun examining these schools to identify the spe- cial elements that make the criti- cal difference. Using one-on-one interviews, focus groups and survey meth- ods, the goal is to isolate the best practice methods that can then be utilized in other at-risk or low-performance environments.

West Orange/Apopka Relief High School Update By Mike Armbruster I would like to begin by wish- ing everyone a happy New Year. When I wrote this week's update, the School Board's Jan. 11 rezon- ing meeting had not yet taken place. However, by the time you read this, it should have occurred. With the rezoning done, we will be moving forward to pro- vide the School Board with three suggestions for the name of our new school. At the end of this article are the current name sug- gestions and the current mascot suggestions. S Feel free to submit any ideas you may have for the name and/or mascot. The next step will be to go into the community that our school is serving and begin a polling process to develop the final three. What I would like to do is visit with members of the community in what I call a cot- tage-meeting format. If you are in an area that has, been zoned for the new school and would like to host a cottage meeting with some of your neighbors, please contact my sec- retary, Barb Schneider, at 407- 905-2026 to pick a time and date. When I have done this in the past, a family has simply opened its home to a group of 15-20 par- ents. I come in and talk about the School and answer any questions that you may have. It has proven to be a great way of sharing ideas. and suggestions, as well as get- ting information out about our school. Please let me know if you would like to participate by doing this in your community,by con- tacting Barbara Schneider. I also want to take a moment to introduce our new head boys bas- ketball coach, Scott Eggleston. I had the good fortune of hiring Scott during my first year as prin-. cipal at West Orange and have been amazed by his commitment to his players, not only as athletes but as students first. He takes each child under his wing and focuses on the whole student an important attribute within our new school culture. Scott is in his 23rd year of coach- ing, with 11 years at the college level and 12 at the high school level. In 2001-02, he led his team to its first regional tournament in the school's 25-year history. This past week, his young men won the Deland Holiday Tournament, beating a strong Apopka team in the finals. He is a native of Cedar Falls, Iowa, and graduated with a degree in physical education from Northern Iowa in 1985. He is a resident of Ocoee and is mar- ried to Paula. They have two chil- dren, Jared and Courtney. He is a wonderful addition to our staff. As always, please feel free to contact me at 407-905-2023 or by e-mail at armbrum@ocps.net if I can answer any questions you may have about our community school. Just a reminder: Please do not enter the construction zone. While the school'is being built, it is trespassing. However, feel free to stop by Portable P at Westside Tech on Story Road in Winter Garden to look at the plans. It is the portable on the left side of the parking lot with the black door. Suggested school names are: Cardinal, Crown Point, Eastlake, Endeavor, Harmony, Lakeside, Oak View, Ocoee, Ridge Lake, Sun Ridge, Unity, Victory, Vin- cent L. Crawford and West Lake. Suggested mascots are: Bob- cats, Bulldogs, Cavaliers, Gladia- tors, Hawks, Jaguars, Knights, Lions, Ospreys, Rattlers, Red- birds, Saints, Stallions, Trail Blazers and Vikings. C ioLeMd Windermere Mayor Gary Bruhn read to Chain of Lakes Middle students during the 2nd annual 'Read and Feed' event. 'Read and Feed' Chain of Lakes Middle recent- ly held its second annual "Read and Feed," an event that pro- motes and rewards recreational reading. Students, teachers and community members read the novel The City of Erber by Jeanne Duprau. To reward their efforts, stu- dents who passed a test on the book were invited to attend a book-centered luncheon, where they feasted on food described in the book and participated in games and activities similar to those of the characters. Congratulations go to the lan- guage arts teacher, Christine . zymanski, and her crew of vol- unteers for the outstanding set they built in the gym. A special thank-you goes to Windermere Mayor Gary Bruhn for reading the novel and taking part in the events and to Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer for sending a proclamation proclaiming Dec. 20 as "Read and Feed City of Ember Day." The school is very appreciative of the businesses that donated food for the event: Darden Restaurants, NYPD Pizzas, Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, Stonewood Tavern and Grill, Albertsons of Windermere, Perkins, McDon- ald's and Coldstone Creamery. A big thank-you also goes to all the parents who volunteered. With everyone's help, the day was a huge success and one that the students will remember for a long time.

Orange County Public A recent partnership between 93 Orange County public schools and Orange County Mayor Richard Crotty's youth initiative, the Club, means thou- sands of students are now eligi- ble for free membership in the new incentive program through their school. Implemented in August, the program offers benefits to school-aged Orange County resi- dents who join programs offered by participating recreation providers. When prospective, members enroll in a recreation program, they can join the Club for free: Membership card bene- fits include: free rides on Lynx busses; discounts at 60 partici- pating businesses, restaurants and venues; and free admission Schools offers 'Club' membership to students to member-exclusive monthly special events coordinated through the Parks and Recreation Division. The Club's 36 recreation pro- gram providers include county, city, non-profit and private orga- nizations; however, a partnership with the public school system means thousands of students will now be eligible for membership through programs offered by their school. Youth may now join by participating in organized extracurricular activities through the school, such as band, chorus, team sports, cheerleading, after- school care and more. Approximately 3,500 youth have joined the Club since the program began, but according to Bill Potter, Parks and Recreation manager, this partnership will push that number through the roof. He said: "Often times it is much easier for a student to par- ticipate in a recreational activity offered by their school than another organization. We will have greater success reaching those young people with the help of our partner, OCPS." Crotty said, "Not only will we motivate those that do not cur- rently participate in a recreation- .al activity, but we will be able to reward those that have made the positive choice to do so."

A Comment & Study of the Scriptures By George Gano I Peter 4:18; "And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" The righteous refers to those who have accepted the atonement of Calvary, the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:7; "In whom we have redemption through his blood (the blood of Jesus Christ) the for- giveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace." I can assure you, the atoning blood of Jesus Christ can save the sinner from eternal death. Jesus Christ is Jehovah God's atonement for sins. Turn down the atoning blood of Jesus Christ and you turn down eternal life.

Web Site: www.christcommunitychurch.cc 407-909-9495 can atone for sins because: Romans 3:23: "For all have sinned, (refers to mortals born of woman) and come short of the glory of God." Jesus could, and did atone because he was not, and is not a sinner. A sinner cannot atone for sins. Listen to Romans 3:24; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." The next verse, "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation (an atoning sacrifice) through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God." Trust in mortal man for salvation, and you have no salvation. Hebrews 2:3, in part, "How shall we scape, if we neglect so great salvation? ADV. ADV.
