Reach out to a child this holiday season give the gift of reading - Reading Reindeer still needs 2,800 books to achieve its 2005 goal. By Kathy Aber Some children in. West Orange County are not familiar with common nursery rhymes or well-known story- book characters. Some do not have books in their homes, and others do not have someone who takes time to read to them. Can you imagine a child who has- n't heard of Winnie the Pooh, Goldilocks and The Three Bears or Little Bo Peep? Dr. Janinna Torres, a pediatrician at the Winter Garden Children's Health Center, said Tuesday that this situation occurs frequently in West Orange County. She and her staff are working to change this. Reading Reindeer, the annual liter- acy campaign at The West Orange Times, is hoping to make reading a daily part of every child's life by giv- ing books as Christmas gifts to the neediest in our community and en- couraging families to read together. There are just seven weeks left in this holiday book drive, and Reading Reindeer needs your help to reach its 3,000-book goal.; Each week, the Times is featuring a group or organization that receives books from Reading Reindeer. Win- ter Garden Children's Health Center is one of the recipients working to make a difference in community lit- eracy. As part of the center's participation in the national literacy program, Reach Out and Read, doctors distribute new books to pediatric patients' along with instructions to parents on the impor- tance of reading to their children. Dr. Torres said her patients now look forward to taking home new books from their visit to the doctor. This is the sixth consecutive year that Reading Reindeer has supported this valuable community program with a delivery of books. Each child 6 years old and younger who goes to WGCHC for a well-child (See Reading, 8A) Dr. Janinna Torres, a pediatrician at the Winter Garden Children's Health Center, reads a book to Valerie Perkins, 2, during her annual checkup. This is the 6th straight year, that the center is receiving books from Reading Reindeer, now in its 8th year. Doctors at the center give each child under 6 a new book to take home along with instructions on the importance of reading to children when they come in for physical.

Jess Green of Windermere became interested in West Orange Habitat in the early 1990s when the program was in deep trouble and in debt. Accord- ing to Bill Criswell, a close associ- ate, "At a point when West Orange Habitat bottomed out, Jess picked it up." Green was just the right person to get involved, not only because he was a fervent believer in the Habitat con- cept, but also because he was knowl- edgeable in all facets of construction and a stickler for doing things right. If he couldn't do it himself, heknew how to get it done. His time with Habitat also meant plenty of time for "learning on the job." Green, along with Bill Criswell, Jerry Van Dyke and the late Jack Fain, and a number of other hard-working volunteers, got things moving. The photos of the 10 Habitat homes on the certificate presented to Carol and Jesse Green at the dedication are all houses on which Jess had worked or was also site supervisor., Thanks to all the loyal workers who 'have supported West Orange Habitat For Humanity,it is now on a strong footing. Green recently relinquished his post as chairman of the building committee. He doesn't call it."retire- ment" since he will continue to have a deep involvement in Habitat but will no longer have the heavy responsi- bility of multiple jobs. His wife, Car- ol, is looking forward to getting some overdue work done at their home. Criswell, a former president of WOHFH said, "Jess' attention to de- tail has created beautiful Habitat homes that appreciate in value, up- grade neighborhoods and are future investments for the lucky home own- ers." "I have been privileged to work with and to help lead West Orange Habitat during the past 13 years," said Green. "I believe Habitat is doing the Nick Shannin, president of West Orange Habitat For Humanity, presents a plaque to Jesse and Carol Green featuring photos of the 10 homes that were Jess' major responsibilities over the past 13 years. A recent ribbon cutting marked the completion of the 17th West Orange Habitat For Humanity home. The Rosetta Kimraj family was excited about moving into the beautiful new house in Orlo Vista. Doing the honors are Nick Shannin, president of West Orange Habitat; Rosetta (3rd from left); her children, Tia, Dana and Erick; and Orange County Commissioner Teresa Jacobs. Lord's work in helping deserving fam- ilies buy homes they would otherwise never own. "I have been blessed with the friendship and love of many workers, young and old, and it helped keep me young at heart and physically active," said Green, who recently celebrated his 83rd birthday. "The joy on the face of each new homeowner makes all the work worth- while! I do not intend to quit." Barry Showalter has taken over the job of site supervisor. Fred Borsoni is project manager and materials ex- pediter. Bloom 'N Grow Garden Society members landscaped the West Orange Habitat for Humanity home, which was dedicated recently. The group presented the new owner with a shovel as a symbol of the club's efforts during the spring and summer months, as well as a lawnmower and small tool set. Pictured at the front door of the house are: (I-r) Mary.Lynn Van Dyke, Elise Bradford, Rosemary Lewis, Kaye Chastain and Betty Wil- son with Rosetta Kimraj.

The show will run through Nov. 23. A native Floridian, Lampert holds a degree from the University of Flori- da in addition to training at the South- east Center of Photography. Lampert has traveled to 27 coun- tries and, by the end of the year, will have visited all seven continents. Her botanicals, photos of living things, combine her interest in the technology of photographic process- es with her love of nature. In this exhibition, the photographs present a shift toward a slight ab- straction of her subject and an em- phasis on the beauty of form. Her del- icate and close-up flowers are still- lifes that burst with color and beauty. The artist continues to challenge herself by working with new tech- niques and formats, like Polaroid transfers, emulsion lifts, cyanotypes and hand coloring, as well as black- and-white prints. The artist has decided to give all funds raised through the sale of her photographs in this exhibit to CARE. CARE works with poor communities in more than 70 countries to find last- ing solutions to poverty.

Editor, The TRAP committee (Technical Review and Advi- sory Panel) meets at 9 a.m. Nov. 2 at the Orlando Air- port Marriott, 7499 Augusta National Drive. The hotel is just east of Highway 436 just north of the Orlando In- ternational Airport. The TRAP meeting is very important to homeown- ers. Why is the meeting so important? If the meeting is this important, how did we get here? Why it is important is that the TRAP committee will discuss a proposed Department of Health rule that could substantially increase the cost to homeowners for re- placement septic systems. How we got here takes longer to explain. The Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act passed by the Florida Legislature in 2004. The bill included a re- quirement for the Department of Health to report to the governor by December 2004 whether new septic system rules were required to protect the Wekiva River, its con- tributing springs and the Floridan aquifer. The Department of Health completed that report. The Department of Health also proposed new septic system rules for the Wekiva Study Area. The Department of Health set January 2006 as its goal for implementation of its new rules. The Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act did not re- .quire new rules. The act required the Department of Health to determine whether new rules are required. The department's decision about new rules for the Wekiva Study Area was based upon a study done west of Chiefland. The Department of Health has decided that haste is important in this matter. It is apparent from department communications that the bureaucrats responsible for this Editor, As you know, many people in West Orange County have worked very hard to initiate the restoration of Lake Apopka, a project which makes us all proud and which will have major on-going positive impacts on this com- munity. When it became apparent in the mid-' 90s that the only way to restore the lake was to buy out all the farms on the north shore, it was a hard decision. The costs to the taxpayer were expensive (over $105 million), and the eco- nomic impact to the area was great. The justification presented included the removal of pollutant discharges from the farms and the restoration of the farmlands back to a natural state, with the potential for ecotourism to S.offset some of the negative economic impacts. We have been pleased with the successes this far, as the slow restoration process has proceeded. In spite of some early setbacks, the lake is showing major signs of recovery. Now a new threat to this progress has been presented. The St. Johns River Water Management Dis- trict (SJRWMD) has entered into an agreement with the Lake County Water Authority (LCWA) to lease, for $1/year, a parcel along the Apopka-Beauclair Canal for an industrial use. The LCWA wants to construct an alum-treatment facility to treat water flowing through the canal before it enters Lake Beauclair. This project will necessitate the excavation of tons of clay, building of treat- ment ponds, use of heavy equipment, access for nu- merous tanker trucks and storage of clay and alum floc- culant. issue want it completed irrespective of whether they get it right. The Department of Health received the approval of its proposed rule at the end of a long TRAP committee agenda at the end of a long day. The Department of Health brought its proposed rule to four well-attended, often-tumultuous public meetings in August. In one of those meetings, the Senate sponsor of the Wekiya Parkway and Protection Act publicly en- dorsed the department's new rule. The senator was in accord with homeowners in the Study Area absorbing the substantial additional cost for the new systems irre- spective that there is no science to show that the sub- stantial expense will protect the river. Fortunately for homeowners, in September, the TRAP committee withdrew its approval of the department's new rule. Addressing an issue for a second time and withdrawing a prior approval required a lot of courage on the part of the TRAP committee. Too frequently, you do not find that kind of courage in government. I very much appreciate the TRAP committee's desire to do the right thing. The bureaucrats in the Department of Health are in a big hurry to get this issue behind them. The previous ac- tions of some department staff make the situation wor- risome. The actions of the Senate sponsor of the bill compound the worry for homeowners. Right now the financial fate of homeowners in the Study Area is in the hands of the TRAP committee. I hope that they continue to have courage to stand up to the bureaucrats that are bent for new rules. Frederick C. Brummer State Representative House District 38 This site consists of 255 acres located on County Road 48, known as the CC Ranch, adjacent to the locks and dam on the canal. Restoration of this site is critical be- cause it is the only open site in the entire 15,000-acre north- shore acquisition that was never tilled for farming and was historically a wet prairie, which is very valuable habitat for many species. Almost all the rest of the north- shore restoration will ultimately be restored to deep marsh because of soil subsidence during farming. Use of this unique site for this industrial use would be a crime against nature! Concerned citizens should do several things: Write to the Lake County Water Authority at 107 N. Lake Avenue, Tavares, FL 32778-3119 and urge them to find another site. Write to SJWRMD at P.O. Box 1429, Palatka, FL 32178- 1429 and ask them not to let this site be destroyed and not to allow this project or any other projects to detract any funding or priorities from the restoration of Lake Apopka (LCWA has requested a budget of $500,000 from SJRWMD this fiscal year). Until we restore the headwaters downstream will continue to have problems! Come to the Friends of Lake Apopka booth at the Oak- land Heritage Festival on Oct. 29 and sign a petition, join the group and offer to help. Several other groups have joined FOLA in objecting to this project on this particular piece of land. Every- one who is interested in the long-term restoration of Lake Apopka is urged to get involved.

Today home prices in most cities are rel- atively stable, with the average home sale prices appreciating about 4 percent annu- ally on a nationwide basis, (about the rate of inflation). "Get-rich-quick" investors have been re- placed with investors who are steadily earning substantial profits with a few sound tricks of the trade. How do they do it? They buy a sound, well-located "fix- er-upper house" in an area at 25 percent below market value and then add prof- itable improvements to force the market value up. One such sound trick of the trade is to buy from a motivated seller who is willing to finance the entire mortgage (or a second mortgage) or take over an existing mort- gage on the property. Look for a property that primarily needs cosmetic work, such as painting, carpeting, landscaping, and other inexpensive improvemefits that add more value than cost. New kitchen cabinet fac- ings, flooring and new appliances will im- prove marketability, but extensive kitchen renovations, new roofs, foundation work, plumbing replacement, and rewiring are not profitable renovations. After you have completed the cosmetic improvements, you can sell the property for a profit or make a tax-deferred exchange for another investment property.

Ryland Homes to sell lakefront home sites Ryland Homes announced last week it plans to sell nine luxury lakefront home sites along Lake Speer in Summerport, located off County Road 535 and Fiquette Road. The home sites will be priced between the mid-$400s. Keith Bass, president of Ryland Homes said the nine sites at Eden's Ham- mock will accommodate luxury custom homes priced from more than $1 million. The average width of the home sites, he added, is 75 feet and they range in length from 120 to 200 feet. For the past five years, people from across the country and around the world have been coming to the DAVE School in Dr. Phillips to learn the art of computer animation. The DAVE School, which stands for Digital Animation and Video Effects, is located on the Universal Studios backlot just off Turkey Lake Road. The school celebrated its fifth anniversary earlier this month with an open house and a film festival at the Loew's Cineplex movie theater at Universal CityWalk. All the films screened that evening were created over the years by DAVE students at the school's fa- cilities. About 150 people have graduated from the one-year pro- gram since 2000. The school admits a.new class'of students every four months. The DAVE School has come a long way since it welcomed its first students in a triple-wide trailer on the Universal backlot in the fall of 2000. The growth of the school and the success of its graduates allowed owners Anne and Jeff Scheetz in 2003 to move into an 8,000-square- foot building on the same property. The new facility offered students more classroom and studio space, plus a motion capture room all un- der one roof. Motion capture is a system used by digital animators to render a live person's three-dimen- sional image on a computer. When the person wears a specialized body- suit covered with receptors, his or her movements can be seen acted out on a computer monitor. The school recently upgraded its motion capture equipment with a 24-camera Vicom system. The same motion capture cameras currently in place at the DAVE School were previously used by Sony Image Works to create the feature animat- ed film Polar Express. "This system allows us to do state-of-the-art motion capture with more people over more space," said Jeff Scheetz. "We're also expect- ing to be able to farm work out to video game and television or movie production companies from across the southeastern United States." DAVE School students learn modeling and character animation and spend their final three months working together on a final project film. The projects help prepare the students for working in a team-ori- ented environment and provide them At KF Kenpco Finance We Turn Invoices Into CASH We'll pay for CASH your accounts receivable within 48 hours so you can pay bills, take suppliers discounts, pay taxes and payroll on time, expand your busi- ness, etc. Approvals by phone.

The DAVE School, which teaches digital animation and visual effects, recently celebrated its fifth anniversary. Dr. Phillips resident Jeff Scheetz (above) founded the school at the Universal Studios Florida backlot. with demo reels, which are used as resumes displaying their work. The most recent project, titled NASA SEALS, debuted at the recent film festival and was described by Scheetz as an attempt by his school to raise the bar on the quality of vi- sual effects work his students can produce. "Our propose with NASA SEALS was to put students through work that's more in line with what's go- ing on in the industry in order to help get students more jobs," he said. Graduates have been hired by pro- duction companies in Los Angeles and other parts of the country to work on animated movies or tele- vision shows. Many choose to use their animated movie-making knowledge acquired at the DAVE School for making video games. Companies such as Electronic Arts, EPL and Smiling Gator have hired recent DAVE School graduates. "The technology for video games has advanced to the point where the high-end computer animation skills needed are the same as those used in feature films," Scheetz said. "Any- time you see a character or scenery on a video game, it has to be creat- ed, and our animators are qualified to do that." When his students aren't already being recruited by production com- panies, Scheetz actively works to place them in animation jobs after graduation. Each year Scheetz, a few DAVE School instructors and as many students as possible travel to- gether to the Siggraph computer an- imation convention in California to show off their work. Students at the DAVE School learn from a staff of experienced teachers and professional anima- niversary tors. Lee Stringer, who oversees stu- dent final projects, has earned one Emmy win and four Emmy nomi- nations for his digital animation and visual effects work on Battlestar Gallactica and Fire Fly. Tom Henry has been with the DAVE School since it opened and brings eight years of teaching ex- perience. William Vaughan, who formerly worked at the production company New Tek, now directs the final student projects. Chris Nelson came to the DAVE School from Kennedy Space Center where he did multimedia animation work. Dave West, who serves as visual effects and motion capture supervisor, worked with Scheetz at Foundation Imaging. Before opening his school, Scheetz worked in Hollywood on well-known shows that relied heav- ily on digital animation and visual effects, such as Babylon 5 and Star Trek Voyager. At Foundation Imag- ing, he supervised more than 150 artists on Roughnecks, The Starship Trooper Conquest, which was one of the largest computer animation shows ever made for television. Anyone interested in applying for admission to the DAVE School should have a basic knowledge of computers, but he or she doesn't have to be an expert to be qualified. The most desirable qualifications, Scheetz said, are a strong creative streak or any background in art or filmmaking. Tuition for the DAVE School costs $29,500. The school expects to be accredited by April, which would provide students with more options in obtaining financial aid and schol- arships. Although the school has grown up a lot in five years, Scheetz said, he doesn't want the school or its stu- dent body to get any bigger, just bet- ter. "We want to be the Harvard of computer animation," he said. "We think there's a big future for this area and that this will become the next great animation city."

In addition to the food, New Horizons donated $300 to the orga- nization. The clothing was donated to the Salvation Army because it spear- headed relief efforts after the hurri- canes.

J a/ Thursday, October 27, 2005 The West Orange Times 9A Olympia students looking inward for art Students taking art classes at Olympia High are focusing on henmsel% es. their heritage, their cul- Sure and their environment in cre- iting ar it ork in a variety of media, addressing the visual arts bench- narks. as well as several language arts benchmarks. The art teacher, Lynda Hope Swenk, said: "I am paralleling the language arts program, Spring- .'oard. which culminates in the cre- Stion of a photographic self-por- 1rail Each student will produce a nook. which will feature several personal l artworks in order to cre- ate a self-portrait, a personal per- :pect e of who they are. They are enhancing their work with creative % riding sometimes accompanying ihe art work and at other times being part of the work itself." They will use various perceptive lenses addressed in Springboard, including archetypal and cultural. Project s will include, but not be lim- ited to, a mandala, a Buddhist sym- bol of the self, a self-portrait, a still life featuring personal objects re- flecting a hobby or interest or their heritage, a landscape featuring their o% n surroundings, and various haikus addressing feelings or sig- nificant events. Their work will be bound in a leatherette book funded by SAC. "Students will become more aware of the diversity within our classroom and better appreciate the cultures of their classmates while becoming more aware of who they are and what makes them who they are," said Swenk. The artists will showcase their books during Greek Week May 8- 12 at Olympia High. The students have already ad- dressed the theme of ethnicity and religious beliefs by considering Columba Bush's Christmas card contest theme: the cultural diversi- ty of Florida. Students asked their parents and other family members about their heritage. They wrote about it and then translated some of the ideas into visual images to produce a work of art illustrating their own heritage. While the artwork and writing were required classroom projects, participation in the contest was op- tional. Hannah Shugart chose to en- ter her work in the contest. She used flags from the states and countries of her parents' origin and represented various traditions and interests of her family. Shugart centered her images around a Biblical quote: "How beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw in you." Art by Hannah Shugart. .2 ." II A y H.r ._, Arn by Pei Hsin Kang. Art by Jessy Tang.

Lampert has traveled to 27 countries and, by the end of the year, will have visited all seven continents. Her botanicals, photos of living things, combine her interest in the technology of photographic process- es with her love of nature. In this exhibition, the photographs present a shift toward a slight ab- straction of her subject and an em- phasis on the beauty of form. Her del- icate and close-up flowers are still- lifes that burst with color and beau- ty. The artist continues to challenge herself by working with new tech- niques and formats, like Polaroid transfers, emulsion lifts, cyanotypes and hand coloring, as well as black- and-white prints. The artist has decided to give all funds raised through the sale of her photographs in this exhibit to CARE. CARE works with poor communi- ties in more than 70 countries to find lasting solutions to poverty.

MOBILE DETAILING "Over 17 Years Experience" Licensed & Insured 352-227-8060 We Come To You With Our Own Water And Electricity Friends see the best in you. S (Usually within weeks.) .(4 w, The Radio City Rockettes will kick up their heels in Orlando when the famous precision dance troupe performs in the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Radio City Christmas Spectacular debuts at Carr Performing Arts Centre Dec. 9-31 Tickets are on sale now for the hol- iday production of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring the Rockettes. The production debuts in Orlando at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre this year with 47 perfor- mances throughout December. In 1994, due to popular demand, Radio Center Entertainment broad- ened the holiday theatrical's sched- ule for the first time to encompass markets outside New York, while run- ning simultaneously with the New York show. The production has played to more than nine million peo- ple in 22 different cities. The group first kicked to life in 1925 as the "Missouri Rockets" and made its show business debut in St. Louis. Russell Markert, their creator, said: "I had seen the John Tiller girls in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1922. IfI ever got a change to get a group of American girls who would be taller and have longer legs and could do really com- plicated tap routine and eye-high kicks...they'd knock your socks off." At Radio City's opening night on Dec. 27, 1932, they did just that. The Rockettes, discovered and brought to New York by consummate showman S.LK. (Roxy) Rothafel who first dubbed them the "Roxyettes," shared the stage with 17 acts including the Flying Wallendas, Ray Bolger and Martha Graham. They were an instant sensation. Starting with just 16 wom- en, the number grew to what is now a 36-member Rockette kick line. The Rockettes have not only served as ambassadors for Radio City Music Hall but also for the entire nation. The group has participated in numerous historical events, including memo- rable USO Tours during WWII to show-stopping SuperBowl Halftime appearances to the 2001 and 2005 Presidential Inauguration Ceremonies. But the Rockettes are most famous for their annual starring role in the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. The requirements today remain al- most exactly as they were at the dance troupe's inception. Rockettes must be. between five feet, six inches and five feet, 10 and a half inches tall aid demonstrate proficiency in tap, jazz, ballet and modem dance. They must also display a radiant energy that will shine across the footlights to their au- dience. I Tickets are $29.50 to $59.50 and are available at the SunTrust Broad- way in Orlando Box Office, TD Wa- terhouse Box Office and all Ticket- master locations.

By Michael Laval West Orange beat another of its arch rivals last Friday night by winning the annual "Battle for the Fence" against Olympia. The Ocoee Knights lost on the road to Evans, and Dr. Phillips suffered its first District 5 loss at Free- dom. WOHS vs. Olympia With the game tied in the fourth quarter, West Orange's Mike Lowery took a quarterback sneak across the goal line for the game-winning score. The Titans threatened to tie the game on their final possession with a long pass to Marquis Rolle, but the Warrior defense held him out of the end zone to hold on for a 20-14 win. Both teams relied heavily on the running game last Friday night. West Orange put up 402 yards of total of- fense, including 332 yards on the ground. Anthony Johnson led all run- ning backs in the game with 191 yards on 18 carries, including a 50-yard touchdown run. Durell Solomon rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries, while Dale Jones racked up 57 yards on 13 carries. Embry Peeples carried Olympia on his back for 142 yards and a touch- down on 14 carries. The Titan offense finished with 202 yards on the ground for 277 total yards. The Warriors and Titans traded touchdowns in the first and third quar- ters before Lowery's score. "We got a very important district win and our defense did a great job at the end of the game to seal the victo- ry," said WOHS Head Coach Tim Smith. West Orange's iron man, Durell Solomon, anchored the Warrior de- fense again with 14 tackles and a forced fumble. Mark Ray added 11 tackles, while James Pender made 8 tackles and forced another fumble. Both Nathan Keller (6 tackles) and Kevin Dacosta (4 tackles) recovered fumbles for West Orange. Both teams saw many drives stalled and some kept alive by penalties. Ref- erees called West Orange on 12 penal- ties for 96 yards. Olympia was pe- nalized 102 yards for 8 infractions. By beating Olympia and Ocoee, the Warriors have a chance to sweep its cross-town rivals when they host Dr. Phillips Nov. 4 for the annual Battle for the Ole Orange Crate. The Pan- thers have also beaten the Titans and Knights this season. West Orange (3- 5, 3-1), however, must first play this Friday at Apopka with its playoff hopes on the line. Olympia (3-6, 1-3) looks to close out its regular season on a high note this Friday with a game at Evans. Dr. Phillips The Panthers lost their first District 5 game of the season last Friday night at Freedom. Faced with an opportu- nity to clinch its first playoff berth since 2002, Dr. Phillips fell 34-9 to the Patriots. Thomas Shuler provided the high- lights for the Panthers. The sopho- more tailback rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. DP went toe-to-toe with Freedom in the first quarter by answering a Patriot touchdown with a 14-play, 65-yard drive. The Panthers tied the game on a 6-yard touchdown run by Shuler. The rest of the game was all Free- dom. The Panthers couldn't stop the Patriot running game and could only muster three more points for the rest of the game. West Orange Head Coach Tim Smith encourages his team on the sidelines. Despite the loss, Dr. Phillips (5-3, 3-1) is still in the playoff hunt. A win Friday night at Boone would clinch the District 5 championship outright for DP. Should the Panthers lose to Boone and Cypress Creek beats Oak Ridge, there will be a three-way tie for the final district playoff spot. If that sce- nario happens, a tie-breaking game could be set for Monday at an unde'- termined site. Ocoee The Ocoee Knights fell to the Dis- trict 4 basement last Friday night in a battle of teams with winless district records. Ocoee lost 33-19 at Evans. The two teams stayed neck-and- neck through most of the game's first three quarters until Evans broke the game open with three touchdowns within a four-minute span. Ocoee fought back, though, in the fourth quarter to score 12 points on the play of Kingsley Barconi, a transfer from New Orleans who played in place of injured quarterback Rickeem Jackson. Barconi lined up behind center and rushed for touchdown runs of 28 and Photos by Chad Applebaum Olympia Titan receiver Marquis Rolle eludes defenders as he tries to rally his team. 2 yards to cut the Evans lead to 27- 19 with just a minute-and-a-half re- maining. Following Barconi's second touchdown, the Knights failed to con- vert a 2-point conversion attempt. Mo- ments later, the rally died when Evans recovered Ocoee's on-side kick. "We had several miscues in the third quarter and beginning of the fourth," said Ocoee Head Coach Greg Dailer. "The defense has been playing out- standing, but has been put in some tough spots." The Ocoee mistakes included a fumbled punt snap, two fumbled kick returns and an unsuccessful play on fourth-and-1. Those errors directly led to the 20-point explosion by Evans. Following Ocoee's comeback, the Trojans put the game away with a late touchdown run. Earlier in the game, Ocoee scored on a 21-yard touchdown pass from Steve Cannon tp Leronte Hubbard to tie the game at 7-7 going into the half. JLral Agoun led the Knight defense '. ith 11 tackles, while Jerome Lowery added 8 tackles. Ocoee (1-7, 0-4), in search of its first district win, returns home this Friday night to host District 4 power East Ridge. Olympia Titan senior receiver DeCory Kelso runs in the open field.

I wonder if I have enough change to get a caffeine-pumped soda to keep me awake during the next one. I wonder if that guy over there knows my name. Suddenly something the speaker said grabbed me!! I had not heard one word until he said "If you think God has left you, guess who moved?" What? Did I hear him right? I had been think- ing ever since I got on this retreat that God must be with everyone but me! I figured I would just ride this one out and sorta go along for the ride. I couldn't seem to focus on anything any of the speakers said. I thought I was listening to the speakers and to God, but frankly I was not hearing, anything from either one. It felt like God had moved far away from me. So what was this guy saying? I tuned back in to hear him say, "God is unchanging, unmovable. He will not walk away from you. Even His name is proof that He cannot leave you. Immanuel, God is with us."

Plant St. Q Colonial Dr. It Rev. Russell Belcher went on to say it is not in the nature of God to change or move. He is the same every day. Unlike me; I change who I am, what I want, where I want to go and what I want to do a thousand times a day. I am not very consistent except to say I am consistently incon- sistent. If God doesn't move, how did I get out here all by myself? Could it be my attitude about my circum- stances or maybe my attitude about God? When you feel out of God's presence, retrace your steps. First, where were you the last time you were sure you did feel God's presence? Was it when you were at church, reading your Bible, at a retreat with the right attitude? Next, ask God to show you. where you turned away. Ask for forgiveness for turning away from God. Last, be assured by God's words from the Bible, "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you." (Hebrews 13:5) Next time you feel alone and with out God, remind yourself who moved.
