By Mary Anne Swickerath In the first two weeks after the city of Ocoee had red-light cameras installed at the corer of West Colonial Drive and Maguire Road on July 8, the cameras captured hundreds of violations on tape and in photographs. At their regular meeting last week, the mayor and city commissioners ap- proved a resolution directing City Manager Rob Frank to begin enforcing fines for those cited for running red lights at this intersection. Therefore, anyone caught in the act will receive a $125 citation, in- stead of the warnings that were sent out during the two- week warning period One piece of video shown to the elected officials by the police at this meeting was of a delivery truck that turned left onto West Colonial Drive 15- 20 seconds after the light had turned red. They also learned that the city of Apopka cut violations from more than 400 a month to under 10 a month after install- ing red-light cameras at State Road 441 and Main Street. The city will split the fines with the company in Arizona that installed the cameras, but Mayor Scott Vandergrift pointed out that the cameras are about protecting lives, not making money, especially since this intersection is the most dangerous in the city, with seven fatalities in the last few years. City Manager Frank told the commission the city is plan- ning on adding the cameras to other intersections and will have signage alerting motor- ists of their locations. In a comment related to traffic concerns, Mayor Van- dergrift said, "One of the big- gest complaint we have from citizens is speeding through neighborhoods." He added that the Police Department will have video surveillance in neighborhoods in the near future to address this concern. On another matter, the com- mission formally approved a resolution that will allow resi- dents of Rose Hill Phases 2 and 3 near the West Oaks Mall to cast their votes for annexa- tion into the city of Ocoee. The referendum will be held Sept 15 as a mail-ballot election. If approved, this annexation will bring 244 single-family homes into the city. Commissioner Rusty John- son told the Rose Hill resi- dents present at the meeting that he welcomed them into Ocoee and believed they will be happy with the city ser- vices, such as those provided by the police and fire depart- ments.

Ocoee sets tentative millage rate, budget hearings By Mary Anne Swickerath Along with other governments, the city of Ocoee is required to set a tentative property-tax rate for the 2009-10 fiscal year that begins Oct. 1. At last week's City Commission meeting, the elected officials agreed to a tentative rate of 5.4974, which is the rollback rate. This is the rate that levies the same amount of property taxes as the previous year based on property assessments.. City Manager Rob Frank reported to the 1 i commission that Ocoee's assessed value de- creased $231,277,100. The commission can lower this proposed rate but cannot raise it during the budget process without notifying each property owner in the city. The currertt millage rate is 4.8252. The commission also set budget workshops for Wednesday, Aug. 12, and Wednesday, Aug. 19, at 6 p.m. and budget hearings for Wednes- day, Sept. 9, and Wednesday, Sept. 23, at 7 p.m. All of these meetings will be televised on Chan- nel 200 on the Bright House cable system. By Mary Anne Swickerath -Michael Waldrop and his wife, Marnie, with the Spirit of Service Award medal presented at a reception at the West Orange Chamber office last week. State Legislature honors Michael Waldrop with Spirit of Service Award Waldrop lobbied state officials to pass an amendment to exempt Floridians from paying property tax while in military service overseas. By Mary Anne Swickerath Michael Waldrop has another medal to add to the Purple Heart and Bronze Star for Valpr he earned during his tour of duty as an infantry captain in the war in Afghanistan in 2006-07. Last week at a special recep- tion at the West Orange Cham- ber of Commerce, Jeff Atwater, president of the Florida Senate, and State Sen. Andy Gardiner presented him with the Florida Senate Spirit of Service Award for both his service in Afghani- stan and his successful support of legislation to aid the state's military families. While serving overseas, Waldrop met servicemen and women who were on multiple tours of duty. Many of them, as well as their families, were suf- fering financial hardships be- cause of these tours, some even abandoning their homes. His idea was to ask the State Leg- islature to approve an amend- ment to the State Constitution that would exempt servicemen and women from paying prop- erty taxes while on duty out of the U.S. While on duty and after he returned to Central Florida, he lobbied state legislators via e- mail to approve the amendment, and his lobbying, supported by Sen. Gardiner and State Rep. Michael Homer, was a success. Both the Senate and the House passed the amendment, which will be on the ballot in the No- vember 2010 General Election. It will require a yes vote of 60 percent to pass. Sen. Atwater praised Wal- drop for his initiative on the property tax issue and for forc- ing the state legislators to take note. "Rarely does an original idea come from the legislature," he said, adding that it is always gratifying to see such sound propositions as this one come from citizens active in their community. During the reception, Sen. Gardiner pointed out that Wal- drop, a member of the West Orange Chamber Board of Di- rectors, will have to continue to work to have this amend- ment passed by voters and that he will need the support of the Chamber and the community to get this done. Waldrop, who is vice presi- dent of construction for Mc- Cree General Contractors and Architects Inc., thanked the state legislators for the Spirit of Service Award and for ap- proving the amendment, and he spoke of the officer who helped bring him to safety after he was injured, an officer who was on one of many of his tours of duty. Waldrop said he felt he had a responsibility to try and achieve a benefit for this offi- cer and for all those Floridians serving overseas. Help Habitat break ground for Home At Last II project Ground-breaking ceremo- nies on Home At Last II, the second home to be built by West Orange Habitat For Hu- manity for a disabled veteran of the war in Iraq, are set for this Saturday.

Marcus and Andrea Griffin were local kids who grew up in southwest Orange County, were high school sweethearts and are graduates of Cypress Creek High School. They are currently living with Andrea's parents at Hunter's Creek, and here is where they wish to make their home. SPC Griffin has served this country well and faithfully. The community is asked to show its appreciation for his service to this country and welcome them to West Orange County and the start of a new life. -p ] Red-light runners, beware I- �I - .-I - ~4~ z.~F.. *r�..:-~'�`itiS~JLC_~* �-,F ni l rI L-,,-r-i ^T^ ^_ ^ 2A The West Orange Times Thursday, July 30, 2009 Obituaries ALICE LOUEASE AUSTIN, 62, Umatilla, died July 27.

Ocoee teen charged with murder On July 22, Ocoee police ar- rested John Hawthorne, 19, of 355 Maine St., Ocoee, on first- degree murder charges in the stabbing death of Joel David Boner, 32. According to police, officers responded to the intersection of West Colonial Drive and Blu- ford Avenue at 6:45 a.m. on July 22 and discovered Boner with multiple stab wounds to his upper body. He was trans- ported to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he died of his injuries. Shortly after arriving on the scene, police identified two suspects who were taken into custody. According to police, Hawthorne admitted that he had stabbed the victim after an altercation and that he and a friend had been riding an ATV in the wooded area near Lake Bennett when they came upon a homeless camp. Police say Boner, who was asleep inside a tent in the camp, exited upon hearing Hawthorne and was told by Hawthorne to leave the area. Hawthorne reportedly be- gan cutting property belong- ing to the victim, and an ar- gument and a fight ensued between the two, resulting in both falling to the ground. Police reported that Hawthorne said the victim was on top of him at which time Hawthorne reached into his pocket, pulled out his knife and began stab- bing the victim. Police say Hawthorne and his friend left the area with the victim requesting help from them. Boner attempted to walk out of the woods to the 7-Eleven convenience store across the street but collapsed on Bluford Avenue: Hawthorne's friend was not charged with a crime. Hawthorne made his first court appearance on July 22, but he was not released on bail.

With sum- mer vacation coming to a close, the foundation has focused its efforts toward promoting the health and literacy of local children. The Health Central Founda- tion School Nurse Program was created in 1995 to support this purpose by placing registered nurses in West Orange County public schools. On-campus healthcare clinics provide a benefit beyond care for minor illnesses or injuries, but also to provide education on preventa- tive healthcare and nutrition. The School Nurse Program placed registered nurses in 22 elementary, middle and high schools for the 2008-2009 aca- demic school year. Due to the success of the School Nurse Program, Health Central has developed a partner- ship with the Heart of Florida United Way and Second Har- vest Food Bank to provide children with non-perishable food at those participating pub- lic schools. These packs of food are available to children to pro- mote healthy eating habits on the weekends. Providing food to needy students through this program will help accomplish the goal of ending hunger in Central Florida children. Literacy is imperative for the confidence and success of any child. The foundation aspires to assist in the implementation of the Reading Plus program in those participating schools. The Reading Plus system provides individualized silent reading practice for students in second grade and higher while develop- ing sustained attention and word recognition, as well as enhanc- ing vocabulary and reading comprehension. Donations to the Health Cen- tral Foundation touch many lives in the West Orange community. Without the generosity of those who care about the well-being of others, say foundation officials, the foundation would not be able to sustain these programs. Major contributors to the chil- dren of the community, such as The Morgridge Family Founda- tion, have consistently doieated to these programs to maintain the health and literacy of the children of this community. To learn how to be a part of the future of healthcare in the community, visit the founda- tion's Web site at healthcentral. org/foundation.

Andy Gardiner presented Michael Waldrop, vice president of construction for McCree General Contractors and Architects Inc., with the prestigious Florida Senate Spirit of Service Award. Waldrop was sent to Afghanistan after being called out of the U.S. Army's inactive ready reserves. He was wounded in the Battle of Panjwai and awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. Both during and after his service in 2006-07, Waldrop lobbied Florida legislators to approve an amendment to the State Constitution that would exempt servicemen and women post- ed overseas from paying property taxes. This initiative was a success, winning approval from the house and the senate. This proposed amendment will be put on the 2010 General Elec- tion ballot. We believe this amendment is a fine idea that particularly makes sense in these difficult economic times, and we urge citizens to support it with their votes. It will be a show of support for the men and women who have had to leave their families and their homes to serve overseas, many of them in the war zones of Afghanistan and Iraq. At the reception held at the West Orange Chamber last week: I-r, State Horner of District 79, State Sen. Andy Gardiner, Marnie and Michael State Senate President Jeff Atwater. Rep. Michael Waldrop and Reader opinions- Letters to the editor Rep. Nelson discusses legislation Editor, I'd like to discuss two additional pieces of my legislation, HB 179 and HB 671. HB 179, relating to property apprais- ers, is a prime example of smart, efficient government policy. Essentially, every five years, property appraisers must physically inspect every parcel on their tax rolls. An employee of the property appraisers office must travel to the location to inspect the building. However, with a simple change in statutes, they can now use satellite im- agery - similar to the technology for Google Earth - to determine if-a parcel has changed in a way that changes its val- ue. This example of no-nonsense legisla- tion will save the state of Florida approxi- mately $50 million over five years. Such language, while simple, has taken several years to pass, and I am extremely pleased that this language finally was signed into law this year. In uncertain economic times like this one, it is extremely important that we as legislators look for ways for govern- ment to be more efficient, more effective, and that we spend every dollar as if it were yours...after all, it is! The second piece of legislation is HB 671, a bill relating to columbariums, a vault for the ashes of those who have passed. Prior to this language, people were denied their finals wishes to be kept at their col- lege alma mater. However, with this bill, the public universities in the state such as the University of Florida, Florida State and the University of Central Florida will be able to build and maintain a columbarium on campus no larger than five acres to serve as the final resting place for honored alums and friends of the university. This will require no additional state money but, rather, serves as a new option for revenue for our universities during these difficult economic times. In a tough budget year, legislators, as well as constituents, expect us to work on legislation that promoted smart fiscal policy and government efficiency. I am es- pecially proud of my legislation, as in ses- sion where only 200 bills were passed, five were mine. Please know that I share this accomplishment with you, District 38, and would also like thank you for your input and support during these tough economic times. As we continue to move forward, we will be looking at legislation in the same realm of government efficiency and cost-cutting opportunities. As always, if you have a question about these bills or any other state agency or issue, please do not hesitate to contact me at 407-884-2023. It truly is an honor to represent you. State Rep. Bryan Nelson 40 years ago From Barbs & Bouquets by Don: Sorry, I was unable to attend the nudist convention held last week in Kissimmee.

Summerville at Ocoee changes name, adds home visit program Summerville at Ocoee, a senior-living community, is now operating under the new name of Emeritus at Ocoee. Summerville, which is man- aged by Emeritus Senior Liv- ing, chose to make this change as a tribute to the Emeritus corporate brand name. "We are proud to be a mem- ber of the Emeritus Senior Living family," said Kevin Colley, community relations director. "All across the coun- try, Emeritus is known for its commitment to making a posi- tive difference in the lives of the people it serves by foster- ing an atmosphere of family and community among its staff and residents. "So naturally, we want to be recognized as an Emeritus-af- filiated community. We decid- ed that adopting the Emeritus brand name as our own shows just how committed we are to living the Emeritus ideals of respect, community, teamwork and value." Emeritus at Ocoee, which is located at 80 N. Clarke Road, provides independent living, assisted living and Alzheim- er's care services to seniors. The community features 85 resident apartments, includ- ing friendship suites, studios, deluxe studios and one- and two- bedroom floor plans. Homemade meals are served restaurant-style, three times a day, in the dining room. Other community amenities and ser- vices include a library, coffee cafe, activities center, outdoor patios, on-site therapy, sched- uled transportation, medica- tion management and a beauty salon/barber shop. Emeritus at Ocoee also an- nounced this week that it has launched a complimentary home visit program - You Don't Have to Live with Us for Us to Help - part of Emeritus Senior Living's Safely Some- where program. Officials at Emeritus at Ocoee said they are commit- ted to making sure that every local senior in need finds the combination of programs and services that serves them best, even if they do not live at Emeritus at Ocoee. "We recognize that some of our area seniors may want to live at home as long as they can," said Colley. "We also know that these seniors may face a variety of challenges living at home and may need assistance identifying all of their support service op- tions." As a result, Colley added, Emeritus at Ocoee offers its team of health care profession- als to serve these seniors and their families as a complimen- tary service. "We realize that there are many seniors in our area going without the vital health, social and supportive services they need to maintain their quality of life at home," said Colley. "Our Home Visits program helps these seniors cope with their challenges and provides a host of resources to help them stay healthy and connected to the community." A few of the services that Emeritus at Ocoee will be of- fering to local seniors will in- clude nurse evaluations, sup- port system checks, referrals to other area providers, post- visit follow-ups and access to Emeritus' family lending library and senior safety tips.

Have you ever heard of Pull Tight? Yes, there is a place called Pull Tight. It is lo- cated on West Plant Street west of Park Avenue across from Auto Electric in Winter Garden. People always ask how it got that name. In the 1920s, this was a thriving neighbor- hood. The center of activity was the comer gro- cery store. One Saturday night, two women got into a fight and grabbed each other by the hair. The neighborhood men stood around clapping and yelling" pull tight, pull tight...." The two women survived, and the name stuck. In the 1940s the Spears family lived at 4 Fos- ter St. in Pull Tight. The family had a mini re- union last week and posed for a photo in front of that house. The house was built in 1921 by a Mister Mott, who included a trap door to lead to a cel- lar. Rumor has it that Mister Mott was in the moonshine business and stored his inventory in that cellar. The house is in excellent condition, said Gene Spears, and it is owned by Buford and Dorothy Creech. How did the Spears family find its way to Pull Tight? Howard and Thelma Spears were farmers in south Alabama. When their house caught fire and burned to the ground, they lost everything. The fire and the Great Depression convinced them that they should get in on the mass migra- tion of farmers from south Alabama to Florida. So, Howard, Thelma and five little boys loaded up into a Model A Ford and drove to Winter Garden. This city was a logical destina- tion since it was a major citrus and truck farm center. Jobs were plentiful, but there was absolutely no available housing. In the first five years after moving to Winter Garden the family in- creased from seven to nine and they lived in some very interesting places. The Spearses' first home was in downtown Winter Garden above what is now Tony's Li- quors. They next moved to "Britt Quarters" and then for a short time lived in an Army-type tent behind the Burch home near Pull Tight. They eventually moved into the house in Pull Tight. After that, the family lived in two differ- ent places in Oakland before moving to a.per- manent home on Dillard Street. All of the Spears children still live in the area except Glynda in Atlanta and Jack in Jackson- ville. Many years after Pull Tight, Ray served as mayor of Winter Garden and Gene served as mayor of Windermere.

Ron Sikes and Kim Tudor Van Der Riet, Attorneys Good Times band completes 3rd year The happy sound of Dixie- land jazz music has become a regular fixture, of downtown Winter Garden, just as it was in New Orleans more than a century ago. Leader Fred Case and his five piece Good Times Jazz Band have just completed the third consecutive year of playing on the fourth Friday of each month. Concerts are held in the gazebo next to the fountain thanks to local business sup- port and the city of Winter Garden. Said Case: "Downtown has just been refurbished, and there simply were few regular- ly scheduled events; certainly nothing like once a month to draw people. Having played with all of these great jazz musicians at Disney and other places in the area, I knew we could do something really neat and help fill that void." And, so, he approached several local businesses and, getting the support he needs, started the events in August 2006. "We started with the Win- ter Garden Pizza Company, which has continued to be a main sponsor the whole three years, and we're very grateful to them," Case said. Other supporters have been Downtown Brown's, Lacey's Past and Presents and Sines Girvin Blakeslee and Camp- bell CPAs. The city of Winter Garden joined in as a sponsor when several supporting downtown businesses closed. The concerts have been such a success that the city has, for several months, sponsored music at that same location on other Friday nights from 7-9. Christine Moore-Curtis (Orange County Public Schools Board member) spoke to the West Orange Kiwanis Club about making the grades; With her is Kiwanian John Ham- buch. Kiwanis hears about school grades Christine Moore-Curtis, a board member of Orange County Public Schools, shared information with the West Orange Kiwanis Club about school grades. She said Orange County is an A district and that there are only three districts in Florida with an A rating. She also gave FCAT read- ing, math, writing and science averages. "Our numbers are going up in each category," she said. "Each year they change the benchmark; this is set in Talla- hassee at the state level. They set the standards or basis, and it is then sent down to the teachers to establish the cur- riculum." Moore-Curtis said Orange County has no F schools, that 17 schools improved to an A rating, 12 went from a C to an A, five went from a D to a B and Mollie Ray Elementary went from an F to an A. "In measuring high school graduations, we moved from 35th in the nation to No. 10," said Moore-Curtis. She shared changes for the 2009-10 school year regard- ing school grades and said the School Board is looking at creative ways to find funding for the schools to make up for the budget cuts.

"We feel the program is very important because most people don't realize how much value they have," said Jim Thomas, president of ONP. "We know for example, that pollinating insects are declining rapidly, in numbers and in numbers of species, and without them, we will not be able to produce many food crops." The program will be led by Christian Miller, a graduate en- tomologist, assisted by others trained in the field. One insect-themed event was held at the ONP on July 10 that included a PowerPoint presen- tation about mosquitoes and a demonstration of a trap being set for mosquitoes. The aspects of a mosquito's lifecycle, as well as information about the different species of insects and the diseas- es they carry, were presented. Other points of discussion included the best ways to keep away mosquitoes, as well as their benefits. "You can either go at mos- quitoes like they're flying pests and want to kill them," Miller said during his discussion of common misunderstandings of mosquitoes, "or you can look at their natural lifecycles and understand the ecology of the cycle and the best way to con- trol them." Regarding keeping insects away, Miller offered several of what he called "culture control methods" that can be used as ways to avoid mosquitoes. This includes building a living quar- ters that is several feet above the ground. "If you get at the top of those, you may have lots of mosquitoes out in the environment, but they don't see you," he explained. Miller also pointed out other tidbits such as darker clothing is more of an attraction to mos- quitoes than light clothing. After the presentation, things were moved outside, where Miller dug holes and baited them in hopes of capturing in- sects for study. According to Thomas, the long-term goals of the programs include a general education of the public about the roles insects play in all kinds of ecosystems. Student programs at the preserve and other school programs will be offered as well. "One of the things we hope to accomplish is a thorough collec- tion of the insects found in West Orange County, to show people what they are and to identify them," said Thomas. Insects will be put on display in a yet-to-be-obtained special- interest museum cabinet. "We have been promised do- nation of a case but don't have it yet. We hope to get it soon," said Thomas. Thomas said he would like to eventually generate enough interest to hold monthly group meetings, but for now, the focus has been on techniques for col- lecting insects, as well as some general education presentations on insects. "We have purchased a great deal of collecting equipment, and we will encourage people to help in collecting, but only un- der close supervision," he said. W.O.

Students and faculty from the Lou Frey Institute's Civic Leadership Academy (CLA) visited City Hall to participate in Mayor Vandergrift's Utopia exercise. Utopia, which is a play writ- ten by the mayor, emphasizes the differentprocedures elected officials, as well as city direc- tors, take part in during com- mission meetings. The play's characters were role-played by the CLA students. They were chosen to represent a police chief, firechief, recreation di- rector, utilities director, citizens, mayor and commissioners as if it were a real-life meeting. Ocoee City Manager Robert Frank, Assistant City Manager Jamie Croteau and several di- rectors were in attendance to support and assist the students during the play. "The Utopia event partner- ship with Lou Frey Institute's Civic Leadership Academy has been an annual event since 2005," said Mayor Vandergrift. "It's an honor for this city to participate in helping students understand the legislative pro- cess and the constraints of local Crafts and stories The West Oaks Library in Ocoee will present Summer Leftovers, featuring summer crafts and stories, on Wednes- day, Aug. 5, at 2:30 p.m. The program is recommended for ages 6-12.

As you can imag- ine, with the current economic situation, we have recently had a significant increase in requests for food assistance. As a result, the supplies in our Food Pantry are almost completely depleted. Whether you are a regular contributor to the Food Pantry, or an occasional contributor, or have not yet participated in this ministry, we could sure use your help now! One suggestion from our Food Pantry coordinators is that you watch the ads at grocery stores and pick up extra BOGO (buy-one-get-one-free) items and bring some of the free items to our pantry. [Remem- ber, we are limited in the types of foods we can store, so we ask that you stick strictly to tie guidelines and bring items from the following list - canned meats, vegetables, sauces, fruits, soups; powdered milk, drinks (such as Kool Aid), soups; instant potatoes, pastas, crackers n r.iir ,.... mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, peanut *.,r , j..I: chili & chili sauce, spaghetti sauce, rice and pasta mixes, dried beans, macaroni and cheese, Velveeta (non-refrigerated) cheese, breakfast cereals, 2-lb bags of sugar; tooth- paste, toothbrushes, deodorant, soap, shampoo, toilet paper; disposable diapers, baby food.] Please bring your donations and place them in the grocery cart in the 100 hallway (outside the offices), whenever you come to church for worship services, community group, appointments or ministry. It is a great respon- sibility and privilege to feed those who are hungry, as though we were feeding our Savior. Second, as we expand our benevolent ministry through collaboration with Christian Help, we could use some assistance. We could use you help. Christian Help services job placement, financial as- sistance, encouragement & prayer) will be offered Tuesday and Thursdays, 9:30am - 3pm. If you are interested in being trained as a Christian Help coun- selor, you would have the opportunity to meet with people who have real needs, and to whom you could powerfully minister in the name of Jesus. Please contact Westwood Church to make arrangements for training and to set a schedule. Thirdly, our Community Outreach, Connections and Children's Ministry teams are working together to host VBS on the grounds at the Silver Pines Apart- ment complex (at 5402 Pine Chase Dr) on Thursday and Friday, August 13 and 14, 9am-12noon. Fol- lowing the VBS on Friday, there will be a Block Party for the kids and their families, 12noon-3pm, with plenty of food and fun for the whole family. If you are available to help plan or staff the VBS and/ or Block Party, please contact our church office at 407.295.4381. Finally, our Missions Team is sponsoring the Christ- mas in July Shoebox Gift drive in support of New Missions in Haiti, in their effort to reach thousands of children and provide a shoebox gift for those who otherwise would not have anything on Christ- mas. Our goal is to send 100 boxes from Westwood Church. If you did not pick up a shoebox in the lob- by, you can just use your own, and fill it with small toys, school supplies, hygiene items, small pieces of clothing, etc. Remember filled boxes must be re- turned to Westwood Church by this coming Sunday (August 2nd), so they can be packed, shipped and sent to Haiti in time to be distributed for Christmas. Wow! Aren't there many, and varied ways we can Serve the World? Don't you love it that God has given us the opportunity to participate with Him in what He is already doing?

Thursday, July 30, 2009 The West Orange Times 9A Dr. Phillips Windermere Rotary of Windermere celebrates 40th anniv. Forty years ago, a small group of men joined together to form the Rotary Club of Windermere. Five of those charter members are still in the club today - Bill Curdts, Bill Sims, Everett Fisher, Don Strube and Whit Chase. Since its beginning in 1969, the Windermere Rotary has raised more than $2 million to serve the community in many ways. Funds were given to the local hospital, schools and charitable organizations in West Orange County and for many projects in the town of Windermere, including the Chase Library. In order to commemorate and celebrate this milestone of service to the community, Windermere Rotarians looked for and decided on a project to greatly benefit the town and all who used the Town Hall. The membership voted to construct a handsome porch addition on the back of the Town Hall building. The successful completion was made possible with contributions of time and skills from Canin & Associates for the preliminary plans, Hunton ., , S- , ' a , ,�" !,, ,,., 1- :- " ' ,ll!l Il! ,i n iii- l To celebrate its 40th anniversary, the Rotary Club of Windermere funded and constructed this porch addition on the back of Windermere's Town Hall.

But now many estab- lished Windermere residents also will be missing a friendly face in the local pharmacy window. Pharmacist John Oswalt, who served Wind- ermere-area resi- dents for the past 35 years, counted out his last pill and filled his last prescription July 2 to start a new life as a retiree. Well known to Windermere townspeople, Os- walt owned and operated Wind- ermere Pharmacy on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Main Street in Windermere from 1974-1989. During the 1980s, there was , never a need to try and locate a 24- hour drug store. , g In an emergen- cy, Windermere Pharmacy was just a phone call . away. Oswalt . personalized his pharmacy ser- Publix pharmacist John C vices by taking serving the Windermere c after-hours phone years, Most recently, Osv requests and even Cascades of Isleworth Pul making home de- liveries - not only to Windermere residents but even to customers who lived outside the town limits. In an interview Monday, Oswalt said he al- ways felt a career in pharmacy' was something he was supposed .to do. He graduated from the University of Florida College of Pharmacy in 1971 and started his career at Albert Drug Stores on the comer of Edgewater Drive and Princeton Street in College Park. Three years later, he opened his own business in Windermere. "Most of the time when I was in Windermere I went to work to see my friends. It's a very close community," Oswalt said. "If someone needed me, I was there. I used to do a lot of that." When he closed Windermere Pharmacy in 1989, he joined the pharmacy team at Publix. His first assignment was at the store on Turkey Lake Road near Interstate 4. Then, he moved to the Plantation Grove Publix on Maguire Road when it opened. About six years later, he relo- cated to the Publix supermarket at the Cascades of Isleworth on Apopka-Vineland Road. . "Working for Publix was almost like work- ing for myself," said Oswalt. "I enjoyed helping people out." The Oswalt family, John and Carol and chil- Oswalt retired July 2 after community for the past 35 walt was employed at the blix location. dren Michelle and Michael, were town residents for more than 20 years, living in a 4,000-square-foot home John built himself. "It almost killed me, but I did it," Oswalt said. With some help and guidance. from a couple of friends, Steve Betcher and Bob Woods, he did everything but the foundation, dry wall, plumb- ing and air-condi- tioning. For the wiring, an electrician showed him the way and checked the work when he finished. Friends joined together for a framing par- ty to set the floor joists, but Oswalt single-handedly installed roof trusses, the roof- ing shingles and siding and did all the paint- ing. He and his family are longtime members of -Holy Family Catholic Church, and John was ac- tive in Windermere's Operation Pride downtown beautification committee in the 1980s. Besides landscape plantings, downtown building im- provements and adding a gazebo to Palmer Park, the committee initiated a park bench project. Oswalt used his carpentry skills to construct the park benches for Operation Pride, and 23 were installed throughout town by 1990. Twelve years ago, the Oswalts sold their home in Windermere and now live just a few miles north in the Cross Creek neighborhood. When asked for his hopes for retirement, John said, "Right now I'm just enjoying it.

Montverde Academy Montverde Academy is proud to announce the Shoes to Senegal campaign was a huge success. Recent graduate Nick Diatta, who is pictured with 2 of the 15 boxes of shoes collected, started the project. The 6'8" student athlete was raised in Dakar, which is the capital of the West African country of Senegal. He moved to the United States during his sophomore year to attend Montverde Academy but remains committed to helping those who are less fortunate in his homeland. Diatta's generous spirit led to a shoe drive that netted more than 15 boxes full of sneakers for the people of Senegal this year He is still hopeful that more support will pour in to help cover the shipping expenses to West Africa, which can be an enormous cost.
