Parents win rezoning

battle; school board files

appeal on judge's ruling

School Board vote
gives students in rezoning
dispute a choice of West
Orange or Olympia high
schools.

By Kathy Aber

The Orange County School Board
voted 4-1 in a special meeting on Sat-
urday to give certain incoming ninth-
graders the choice to attend either
Olympia High or West Orange High
School on Monday of this week.
School Board members Anne Geiger,
Kat Gordon, Tim Shea and Rick Roach
voted for the motion; Jim Martin op-
posed it. School Board Member Karen
Ardaman was not in the room during the
vote, and Joie Cadle was out of the
country.
The School Board decision affects
these incoming freshmen and other new
students who reside in the following
subdivisions: Citrus Oaks, Citrus Oak
Landing condominiums, Azalea Ridge,
Westover Farms, Orlando Groves As-
socition, Pozo, Vizcaya Lakes Apart-
ments, Oak Forest Apartments, the part
of Park Ridge north of Old Winter Gar-
den Road, The Willows at Lake Rhea,
Crescent Pointe and Crescent Lake Es-
tates.
The Citrus Oaks Homeowners As-
sociation and one of its residents, Joy
Hutchison, filed a lawsuit contesting
the School Board's vote in January to
reassign new high-schoolers in these
areas from Olympia to West Orange.
Orange County Public School initially
estimated this would affect approxi-
mately 100 students.
Administrative Judge Daniel Man-
ry ruled July 28 that the School Board
vote was invalid due to procedural er-
rors, reinstating the previous attendance
zone for the students and allowing them

to go to OHS.
The School Board filed a notice of
appeal last week with Fifth District
Court of Appeal in Daytona Beach and
took the position that this action effec-
tively stayed the judge's ruling and re-
instated the previous attendance zone,
assigning the students to West Orange
High. This left an estimated 71 students
in an uneasy position less than a week
before school resumed on Monday.
Last Wednesday, the School Board
met in another special sessionn and, on
the recommendation of Superintendent
Ron Blocker, agreed to allow students
in the disputed area to register last
Thursday and Friday at Olympia on a
contingency basis, pending the School
Board vote on Saturday.
Dylan Thomas, director of the OCPS
office of Community Relations, said
lastWednesday that approximately 70
incoming ninth-graders were trans-
ferred from OHS to WOHS by the
School Board's action last January.
However, he explained this week that
"as the hard numbers became known
to us on Friday and Saturday," there
were only 31 students in the areas in-
cluded in the lawsuit.
"Of the 31 who were given the option
to go to Olympia, on Saturday morning
only eight were known to have regis-
tered," said Thomas.
Attorney James Gustino, who repre-
sents the Citrus Oaks neighborhood,
disputes the notion that a stay of the
judge's ruling exists. OCPS "never re-
quested a stay and so they are not en-
titled to it," said Gustino.
Thomas said Monday that the School
Board maintains the same position, al-
though no one has heard yet from the
court to explain if a stay exists.
Following the School Board's action
Saturday, Gustino said he is uncertain

The rules for
requiring upgraded
septic tanks in the
Wekiva River Study
Area have not been
finalized.

By Mary Anne Swickerath

Never have so many people met
in one place in West Orange Coun-
ty to discuss septic tanks and for
more than two hours.
It was standing room only in the
Ocoee City Hall Commission
Chambers last Wednesday for a
public meeting on the new state leg-
islation governing septic tank up-
grades in the Wekiva River Study
Area, a large area that includes parts
of three counties: Orange, Semi-
nole and Lake. There will be Ocoee,
Oakland, Winter Garden, Apopka
and unincorporated Orange Coun-

Funded projects
include improvements
along Sand Lake Road
and bike trails in
Windermere.

By Kathy Aber

A $286.4-billion, five-year trans-
portation spending bill was approved
by the U.S. Senate July 30 and in-
cludes numerous projects important
to easing traffic congestion in Florida.
Several of the projects funded by the
bill are located in West Orange Coun-
ty.
The bill, known as the Transporta-
tion Equity Act of 2005, had already
passed the House of Representatives,
and now it goes to the president, who's
expected to sign it into law.
Large-scale projects include widen-
ing Interstate 4 from Fort Myers to
Naples, constructing an 1-4 cross-
town-connector near Tampa, im-
proving I-4 alternate routes in Orlan-
do and widening the bypass around
Tallahassee.
Florida will get $10 billion over the
next five years for roads and infras-

structure.
Sen. Mel Martinez and U.S. Rep.
Ric Keller and Orange County May-
or Richard Crotty held a press con-
ference last Wednesday to discuss
congressional action on the bill.
Keller spoke with The West Orange
Times Monday to describe several
transportation projects slated for West
Orange County.
The congressman, who is a mem-
ber of the House Conference Com-
mittee, said the transportation bill was
two years in the works and the con-
ference process lasted two months.
Representatives from Florida, Georgia
and Texas held up the bill, Keller said,
because "we weren't happy with the
rate of return we were getting."
Through the conference process,
Keller said, "We got that up consid-
erably."
The original Senate draft only gave
Florida 76 cents on the dollar. "We
met with the Senate to resolve this"
and improved the Florida return to 92
cents on the dollar, he said.
"This is the best rate of return we've
ever had," said Keller.
'This transportation bill is good for

(See Projects, 16A)

ty residents affected by this legis-
lation.
Four public meetings were held
last week, including the one in
Ocoee, to assess public opinion on
how the legislation should be im-
plemented, what the rules should
be.
Mark Hooks of the Florida De-
partment of Health led the discus-
sion in Ocoee last week. He ex-
plained that upgraded septic tanks
(known as Onsite Wastewater
Treatment and Disposal Systems)
are necessary to protect the future
quality of the drinking water and
the groundwater in the Wekiva Riv-
er Basin that includes Wekiva
Springs and the Wekiva River. Sim-
ply put, conventional septic sys-
tems release nitrogen, which is a
water pollutant.
Who has to put in new septic
tanks and when still has not been
finally decided. Hooks went on to
assure the residents that all home-
owners will not have to put in new

systems if their conventional sys-
tems are in working order and
homeowners will not have to take
on the added expense (it has been es-
timated at anywhere from several
thousand dollars to $15,000) for
new environmentally safe tanks just
because they are selling their house.
He said that at this point these two
issues are not part of the draft pro-
posal.
But, according to the proposed
rules, if a current system fails or if
renovations are made to a home that
would require a septic upgrade, the
new, more expensive systems will
be required. New homes would also
be affected, if the current propos-
als are passed.
Hooks also said the new systems
will not cost $15,000. He estimat-
ed the cost at between $7,500 and
$9,000. But these new systems also
require operating permits, electric-
ity inspections and maintenance,

which will add to the expense.
When asked by those in attendance
how people who couldn't afford the
new systems would pay for them,
Hook said that had not been deter-
mined but it was an issue being dis-
cussed.
"We need to seek funding re-
sources," he said.
Audience members suggested there
are cheaper options for protecting the
environment than the systems pro-
posed, that municipal sewer systems
should be expanded with state help
and that more time is needed to study
this issue that will affect so many res-
idents.

Ocoee City Commissioner Scott An-
derson said the state should put the fi-
nancial burden on the Expressway Au-
thority and the municipalities, not the
homeowners.
Henry Morgan, an Ocoee resident,
said the environmental studies by the
state are not complete and, therefore,
this new legislation is premature.
Hook said the comments from citi-
zens at all the public meetings willbe
taken into consideration. He added that
the target date for putting the new rules
into effect is January 2006.

Detectives looking for
cause of death in
incident at Typhoon
Lagoon wave pool
Orange County Sheriffs Office
detectives are waiting for autopsy
results to find out why a 12-year-
old girl died after visiting Typhoon
Lagoon at Walt Disney World Re-
sort Aug. 4.
Around 6 p.m. Thursday, life-
guards at the wave pool noticed the
girl, Jerra Kirby, lying on the pool
ledge out of the water. According
to the police report, they approached
her and asked if she was OK. She
said she was fine and wanted to be
left alone.
The report said she then stood up
and immediately passed out. Life-
guards performed CPR until Reedy
Creek Fire and Rescue arrived. She
was transported to Celebration Hos-
pital where she was pronounced
dead a short time later.
According to the report, Kirby
was with a group of relatives,
cousins and an aunt, from Newport
News, Va.
Detectives said they all had been
at the water park since 1:30 p.m. on
Thursday. Prior to climbing onto the
ledge, the child has been in the wave
pool with her relatives, who were
in the area at the time of her col-
lapse. The relatives told detectives
she had no known medical prob-
lems.
The investigation is ongoing at
this time, but investigators believe
it was a tragic accident.

Red Cross urges hurricane preparedness now

The Red Cross urges Central Florid-
ians to prepare for hurricanes now.
"Now is the time to review your fam-
ily and workplace disaster plans, check
and re-stock your disaster supply kits
and prepare for high winds and rain,"
said Joel Hass, CEO of the American
Red Cross of Central Florida.
Everyone should prepare a personal
evacuation plan. Identify ahead of time
where to go if told to evacuate. Choose
several places a friend's home in an-
other town, a motel or a shelter. Keep
handy the telephone numbers of these
places as well as a road map of your lo-
cality. An alternative or unfamiliar route
may need to be taken if major roads are
closed or clogged.
Listen to NOAA Weather Radio or
local radio or TV stations for evacua-
tion instructions. If advised to evacuate,
do so immediately.
Take these items when evacuating:
prescription medications and medical
supplies; bedding and clothing, includ-
ing sleeping bags and pillows; bottled
water, battery-operated radio and extra
batteries, first aid kit, flashlight, car keys
and maps; and documents, including
driver's license, Social Security card,
proof of residence, insurance policies,
wills, deeds, birth and carriage certifi-
cates and tax records.
Assemble a disaster supply kit and in-
clude the following items (enough to last
three to five days): first aid kit and es-
sential mediations; canned food and can
opener; at least three gallons of water
per person; protective clothing, rainwear
and bedding or sleeping bags; battery-
powered radio, flashlight and extra bat-
teries; special items for infants, elderly
or disabled family members; and written
instructions on how to turn off electric-
ity, gas and water if authorities advise
you to do so. (Remember, a profession-
al will be needed to turn them back on.)
Prepare for high winds. Install hurri-
cane shutters or purchase precut one-
half-inch outdoor plywood boards for
each window. Install anchors for the ply-
wood and pre-drill holes in the plywood
so they can be put up quickly. Make trees
more wind resistant by removing dis-
eased and damaged limbs.
Listen to the radio or TV stations for
up-to-date storm information. Prepare
to bring inside any lawn furniture, out-
door decorations or ornaments, trash-
cans, hanging plants and anything else
that can be picked up by the wind.
Prepare to cover all home windows. If
shutters have not been installed, use pre-
cut plywood. Remember, tape does not
prevent windows from breaking, so tap-
ing is not recommended. Fill the car's
gas tank. Recheck manufactured home
tie-downs. Check batteries and stock up
on canned food, first aid supplies, drink-
ing water and medications.
Know what to do when a hurricane
warning is issued. Listen to the advice of
local officials and leave if told to do so.
Complete preparation activities. If not
advised to evacuate, stay indoors and
away from windows. Be aware that the
calm "eye" is deceptive; the storm is not
over. The worse part of the storm will
happen once the eye passes. Trees,
shrubs, buildings and other objects dam-
aged by the first winds can be broken or
destroyed by the second winds.
Be alert for tornadoes. Tornadoes can
happen during a hurricane and after it
passes over. Remain indoors in the cen-
ter of your home in a closet or bath-
room without windows.
Stay away from floodwaters. Turn
around and go another way if you come

upon a flooded road. If caught on a flood-
ed road and waters are rising rapidly, get
out of the car and climb to higher ground.
After the hurricane is over, keep lis-
tening to the radio or TV stations for in-
structions and updated information. If
you evacuated, return home when told it
is safe to do so. Inspect your home for
damage. Use flashlights in the dark not
candles. Turn off electrical equipment
you were using when the power went
out.
Do not run a generator inside a home
or garage. If you use a generator, connect
the equipment you want to power di-
rectly to the outlets on the generator. Do
not connect a generator to a home's elec-
trical system. Be sure to turn the gener-
ator off and let it cool down before re-

Soccer League.
A requirement of the Field of
Dreams grant is that the funds are used
for public parks, explained Vogt.
"These lights are not just for the
Ocoee Youth Soccer League," he said.
The Field of Dreams project com-
mittee (whose members are Vogt and
past soccer league presidents David
Brennan and Ed Roberts) estimate that
the project will cost a total of $206,000.
But there will probably be an added
cost for engineering services from
Progress Energy. This cost will be de-
termined by Progress Energy and will
depend on whether an enhanced trans-
former will be required at the Beech
Center for the lights.
Last year, 422 children participat-
ed in the soccer league, but Vogt ex-
pects more this season, which begins

She's just had to slow down a bit,

This has created a financial hard-

Six Hard-to-Ignore
Reasons to Plan for
Your Retirement Now

1. Seniors are expected to live 20 or
more years beyond their retirement
age.
2. Social Security may average 40%
or less of your required income when
you retire. Experts estimate you need
2/3 to 3/4 of your current income for
financial security in retirement de-
pending on your spending level.
3. If you start contributing annually
to a retirement plan in your 20's or
30's you could possibly be a mil-
lionaire by the time you reach re-
tirement age.
4. Even a slight increase in contri-
butions to your 401(k)- 1 or 2 %- can
reap huge benefits 15 or 20 years
down the road.
5. The latest figures indicate that the
poverty level of American seniors
age 65 and over is at 10.4%-that's
3.6 million people!
6. If you stay the course you are like-
ly to maintain or improve your cur-
rent standard of living in retirement.

4A The West Orange Times Thursday, August 11, 2005

Opinion

This week, Winter Garden residents are re-
ceiving ballots allowing them to say whether
or not they're for the proposed Winter Garden
Village mall. This emotional issue has fueled
much debate and has sent the Sembler Co. back
to the drawing board to downsize the mall and
revise its plan to provide a buffer and transition
to the neighboring developments.
How do you provide services to residents
who live in the urban sprawl that the city and
county have allowed to take place over the
years, where thousands of residents in West
Orange County have to drive everywhere they
go? The Winter Garden Village is clearly not
"new urbanism," but actually fits into a mod-
el of serving urban sprawl.
Winter Garden is in the driver's seat and can
avoid some of the pitfalls that have plagued
other large commercial developments..For ex-
ample. the city should insist that "big-box"
stores have design features that allow large
empty buildings to be subdivided later allows
for changing demand and land-use.

Traffic has been one of the biggest issues
connected with the mall. While it's a plus to have
a development located adjacent to a trans-
portation artery like the Western Expressway,
making sure that the planned road improve-
ments are adequate to handle the future traffic
should be the city's highest priority. Traffic in
Winter Garden will be impacted whether
there's a mall on the Fowler property or not. The
growing number of residential units south of
State Road 50 will create traffic wherever the
shopping becomes available. The fact is, the
roads have to be built whether the shopping is
being done in Winter Garden or Lake County.
Residents should take the opportunity and
vote yes and allow the elected officials to make
an informed decision about the mall. They can
and should demand the highest quality center
for the citizens of Winter Garden. And at the
very least, this should be a wake-up call for
the city to better understand development and
have plans in place before thousands of homes
are built.

Heritage Foundation encourages support

Dear Citizens of West Orange County,

Imagine a community-oriented movie theater and per-
forming arts center in historic downtown Winter Gar-
den. The Heritage Foundation is in the final stages of
permitting, and construction will resume soon. The final
piece of this project is for the city to deed the property
to the Heritage Foundation to ensure outside founda-
tions will continue to fund this $3 million renovation.
On Thursday the 11th (this Thursday), at 6:30 p.m. in

Septic tank owners,

lution to turn the property over to the foundation. Please

are vital to the success of our theater project so please mark
your calendars and "come on down."

Remember "Cracker Ramblin' s" with Rod Reeves? Rod
was all over the state of Florida with his interesting anec-
dotes, legends and artwork. In Arcadia, Bone Mizell was
an illiterate, quick-witted cracker cowpoke during the
late 1800s. On one occasion, Bone was hired to dig up
the remains of a wealthy Vermonter for transport back
to a home plot. Instead, he sent the body of a friend
"who'd never traveled none and always wanted to take
a train ride!" This cowpoke, immortalized by painter
Frederic Remington, had "moonshine" as the cause on
his death certificate.

The summer is winding down, and millions of families
across the country will head out this Labor Day week-

Sadly, impaired driving is one of America's deadliest

more than 1.4 million people were arrested in 2003 for driv-
ing under the influence. The National Highway Traffic Safe-
ty Administration (NHTSA) reports that, in that same
year, more than 17,000 people died in highway crashes
involving alcohol. Clearly, the price for driving while
impaired is deadly.
Studies from NHTSA also show that 97 percent of
Americans view drinking and driving as a threat to their
families and themselves, and that is why the national You
Drink & Drive. You Lose. campaign will be in full force
Aug. 19 through Sept. 5. No warnings, no exceptions, no
excuses law enforcement officers around the country
will increase the number of sobriety checkpoints, roving
patrols and undercover officers to ensure that those who
drive impaired will be caught and prosecuted.
If you are found driving while impaired, you will face

swered.
Some in the audience indicated an interest in hooking up
with city sewage to avoid the expense. This brought a smile
to the face of one Ocoee City official in attendance. When
the presenter said you should pump your septic tank on a
regular basis, a couple of the burly red-faced septic tank rep-
resentatives muttered, "Right on."
Fred Brummer, District 38, who sponsored the legisla-
tion in the Florida House of Representatives (which caused
all this mess), was seen peeking around the comer watch-
ing the audience ask questions.
No one in attendance wants to harm the environment, but
to have such ill-conceived legislation that is not properly
researched is an affront to homeowners. This entire issue
should be revisited by the Florida Legislature in the next
regular session

to give the church $100,000 if the church would raise
the remainder $500,000 which would pay off the
mortgage.
We are going to do our best to meet the challenge. If
people of the community would like to help us, they can
send their offering to Garden Cathedral Church of God,
P.O. Box 771398, Winter Garden, Fla. 34777-1398, or
they can bring it by the church during the office hours of
9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday. The church

this and bum the mortgage the first Sunday in October.

significant financial cost, jail time, the loss of your driv-
er's license, higher insurance rates and the embarrass-
ment and humiliation involved in having to inform your
family, friends and employers. The worst case scenario,
however, is that you seriously injure or kill yourself or an
innocent victim, forever changing your life and the lives
of others. Is it worth the risk?
Play it safe, and follow these tips this holiday weekend:
Be responsible and don't drive impaired.
If you plan to drink, choose a designated driver be-
fore going out.
Remember, deadly alcohol-related crashes don't just
occur in cars. According to a 2003 NHTSA study, mo-
torcycle operators have the highest incidence of alcohol-
related crashes (accounting for 29 percent). Avoid driv-
ing any type of vehicle when impaired.
Pickup truck occupants are over-represented in mo-
tor vehicle crashes. More than 1,600 pickup truck occu-
pants died in the Southeast last year. Many of those deaths
could have been prevented simply by putting on a safe-
ty belt and not drinking and driving.
Stay on the offense always buckle up to protect your-
self from those driving under the influence.
Don't hesitate to report impaired drivers to law en-
forcement.
Keep in mind, impaired driving is no accident, nor is
it a victimless crime. Do your part and remember that al-
cohol, drugs and driving don't mix. Be safe this Labor Day
weekend and end the summer on a safe and healthy note.

Monthly resort tax collections announced

Orange County Comptroller Martha
Haynie announced today that resort
tax collections received by the coun-
ty in July for the hotel collection
month of June 2005 were
$10,894,500. Resort taxes are charged
on short-term rentals, mostly hotels
and motels.
Comptroller Haynie noted that col-
lections by the county for June were

roughly 12 percent above collections
received during last June.
"The resort tax once again set an-
other record," she said. "The nearly
$11 million collected for June repre-
sents the highest amount ever col-
lected for the month of June. This is
the fifth consecutive month that re-
sort tax collections have exceeded $10
million."

STEPHEN WILLEY

Testa Rossa Caffe names
new general manager
The European brand Testa Rossa
Caffe, which opened its first U.S. lo-
cation July 25 at the Shoppes at
Millenia, has named Stephen Wil-
ley as its general manager.
The 2,058-square-foot premium
cafe combines an Italian bistro, a
gourmet coffee shop and a chic bar.
In addition to being the first Testa
Rossa Caffe franchise in the Amer-
ica, it is also the largest of its kind
in the world.
Willey's responsibilities will in-
clude overall management of the
restaurant, including planning, or-
ganizing and coordinating all
restaurant activities and OS&E in-
ventories. He will also handle
staffing, training and scheduling of
employees.
A graduate of Rutgers Universi-
ty, Willey earned a bachelor's de-
gree in economics and later re-
ceived a master's degree in hospi-
tality management from the Uni-
versity of Central Florida. Prior to
being hired at Testa Rossa Caffe,
he served as night auditor for the
Westin Grand Bohemian Hotel and
as assistant controller for the Rain-
forest Cafe in Lake Buena Vista.
Willey also served as a front office
agent at Walt Disney World's Swan
and Dolphin hotels.
Testa Rossa Caffe is a franchise
brand known for gourmet Italian
coffee and deli food restaurants,
with 60 operating locations
throughout Europe. The restaurant
promises to provide a higher stan-
dard of ambiance and service, as
well as distinctive food and bever-
ages.
Testa Rossa Caffe is open daily
for breakfast pastries, lunch and
dinner. The restaurant is open Mon-
day through Thursday from 7 a.m.
to 10 p.m., Friday through Satur-
day from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. and on
Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tes-
ta Rossa is located at 4192 Conroy
Road, Suite 103.

The J.C. Penney stores in the Flori-
da and West Oaks malls recently con-
tributed $10,000 to the West Orange
and Taft branches of the Boys and
Girls Clubs of Central Florida. The
money is intended to support the club's
Power Hour of study and homework.
Gary Cain, president of Boys and
Girls Clubs of Central Florida, said
the contribution was the brainstorm of
Anna Bulgar, catalog manager at the
J.C. Penney department store at the
Florida Mall, and was eagerly sup-
ported by Jim Resales, store manager
of the West Oaks Mall J.C. Penney.
"The J.C. Penney contribution will
provide supplies to help us create a
clean, calm, organized environment
for students to complete homework
and study during Power Hour after
school," Cain said. "Thanks to this
generous gift, we will be able to pro-
vide supplies to allow for successful
completion of schoolwork and home-
work, including backpacks and sup-
plies for every member of the Taft and
West Orange clubs."
The grant funds are intended for use
during the first half of the 2005-06
school year..

LET S WRITE
THE OFFER
It is an exciting moment when your real
estate agent says, "Let's go ahead and write
the offer! What issues should you be aware
of at this point in the process of buying a
home?
One of the wisest questions to ask your
agent before writing up the offer is "What
does the seller really want?" You need to
know what is most important to the seller
in order to offer the right price and avoid
including contingencies that will cause the
seller to reject the offer.
For example, if the family is motivated
to make a fast move, they won't want to
wait until your house sells, so don't write
this contingency into your offer. If the
house needs repair, you could make an "as
is" offer on the home.
Does the seller expect to get the full
asking price? Full price offers are more
likely to be accepted. Are you able to waive
the financing contingency and make a cash
offer? An offer at less than the asking price
may be more attractive to the seller than a
full-price offer with a financing contin-
gency.
Work closely with your realtor, ask the
right questions, and your offer should be
a strong contender for the title.
If you would like to talk further about
buying or selling real estate, please contact
Libby Tomyn at Century 21 Professional
Group. Call me on my personal message
line, (407) 570-0318.

"Power Hour helps reinforce the
skills the kids are trying to master at
school, and gives them an environ-
ment that is conducive to learning,"
said Norman Suarez, program director
for the Boys and Girls Clubs. "It will
improve attendance and behavior, re-
duce drop-out rates and involvement in
crime, enabling them to succeed in
their educational endeavors."

Winter Garden

Beulah youth take mission trip
A large group of youth and adults from Beulah Baptist Church in Winter Garden traveled to Savannah, Ga., last
month to spend a week with the World Changers Organization. In the heat of the summer, they loaded up their
clothes, tools and sleeping bags and spent part of their summer break helping others. The group, along with sev-
eral other youth groups from around the country, worked on 35 homes belonging to the elderly or those unable to
care for their homes. Most of the dwellings were painted and reroofed. This is the same team that a month ago
completely painted and landscaped a Winter Garden home in a single day. For more information on upcoming pro-
jects or events, call the church office at 407-656-3342.

Rotary Club recently about the importance of having a living will. Jar-
rett said she sees many family members struggling to make the deci-
sion of keeping their loved ones on life support and said people can take
that responsibility off them by having a living will and giving it to a trust-
ed family member or friend. With Jarrett is Rotary President Rodney Jol-
ley. To learn more about living wills, call Jarrett at 407-296-1515. For

New Age musician calls Winter Garden home

By Paige deRosa

Dominic Gaudious, a resident of
Winter Garden, was first inspired
to become a musician when he was
only 13.
"I met some guys in Atlanta
where I lived, and they had a band,
and I thought it was the coolest
thing ever to be in a band and play
guitar. I was just learning at that
time," said Gaudious.
Though initially he was met with
some resistance from his parents,
they eventually warmed to the idea
of him taking up music.
"They were a little iffy at first,
but once they realized and saw that
I had a passion for it and that I loved
playing guitar, they were cool with
it," he said. "Certainly when they
saw me playing out in front of peo- -
ple at live shows. They are very
supportive of me doing it after 20
years."
Now 34 and a musician for 20
years, he has won the National Ra-
dio Recording Artist of the Year
award and garnered rave reviews
from The Chicago Tribune. It took
Gaudious 10 years of playing, free
shows at coffee houses and book-
stores all across the country to be
where he is today.
"Big shows came up occasional-
ly, and eventually I started really
becoming remembered by not only
guitar enthusiasts but people who
just like and have a passion for in-
strumental music," he said.
Gaudious is primarily self-taught.
He took guitar lessons to learn the
basic forms then continued learn-
ing through books, magazines and
videos.
"It was pretty cool because it did-
n't inhibit me to play the same stuff
over and over and learn everything
that everyone else learned," he re-
counted. "It allowed me to be free
and creative and to write my own
stuff."
Though he says other immediate
family members don't share the
same talent with music, his uncle,
Johnny G, sings vocals in Miami.
A native of Asbury Park, N.J.,
Gaudious was heavily influenced
by the heavy metal rock bands of
the '80s.
"It's really all I know as far as
music and guitar playing," he ex-
plained. "They were classically
trained guitar players, so I learned
a great deal from playing their
songs. Listening to a wider style of
music broadened my musical
range."
Gaudious, who combines folk,
rock and world influences to seam-
lessly blend an eclectic new sound,
carries with him a unique two-
necked guitar with six and 12
strings.
"I was taking a 6-string and a 12-
string on the road, and it just got to
be really a pain," he said. "I saw a
double guitar and thought, 'Why
not make a 6- and 12-string acous-
tic guitar?' I know they've made
electric guitars, but no one really
was using acoustic. I decided to
have one made by a guy in Cali-
fornia. Not only does it look really
cool and unique, but it just turned out
to be the perfect thing for me be-
cause if people see me play some-
where and don't remember my
name, they remember the guy with
the guitar with the two necks on it."
In addition to the guitar, Gau-
dious blends the exotic sound of the
Australian didgeridoo, one of the
oldest-known world instruments.
Gaudious was first introduced to
the didgeridoo 10 years ago and has
since incorporated it into his music
to give it an ethnic feel.
"A friend showed it to me in
Chicago, and I basically just loved
it the first time I heard it because it
was so ethereal and worldly," he
said. "It kind of encompassed the
world flavor, so when you add it to
guitar it's almost like you have a
base and a guitar. I just started to
mount it to a microphone stand and
play it myself. It's the oldest-known
instrument in the world, over al-
most 40,000 year old. All you do is
blow into it and you can make all
kinds of noises and get really cre-
ative, elaborate and technical."
Gaudious still plays live shows
all over the country, including his
hometown of Orlando. Initially he
was nervous at playing his first live
shows, but he has since channeled
that nervousness into an excitement
that fuels his enthusiasm while on-
stage.
"Any nervousness that comes
from me anymore is brought on by
external circumstances," explained
Gaudious. "Like, if there's some-
one there that can further my ca-
reer, say a record executive or pro-
ducer, you really need to be on, you
need to be in the zone."

Gaudious' nervous energy always
translates into a good performance.
SHe has earned rave reviews and ap-
peared a year ago on Fox TV to
showcase his talents.

"I kind of transform when I play
live," he said. "As long as there's en-
ergy from the crowd, that's what
musicians live for. I'm happiest
when I'm performing."
In addition to the Australian Em-
bassy, Montreux Music Festival and
National Geographic, Gaudious has
played in such prestigious forums
as the 1996 Centennial Olympic
Games. While the musician travels
a great deal to perform at different
venues, the one place he feels at
home is in Winter Garden. He reg-
ularly plays downtown on Plant
Street.
"I've got a house and I just got
married. Everything's falling into
place now," he said. "My touring
is going to be mostly in the South-
east at colleges next year too."
Besides touring, Gaudious' up-
coming plans include the release of
a new CD in a couple of months
with his wife, Rebecca Lanterman,
a native of Winter Garden.
"Right now my wife and I are
recording a CD. It's going to be pi-
ano and guitar, and it's going to be
very mellow, really laid-back mas-
sage therapy music."

Learn to prevent accidental falls at 'What's Up Doc'

Everyone is susceptible to a fall, re-
gardless of age, but the elderly are
more likely to become victims due to
weak muscles, poor vision, decreased
sensation or other medical conditions.
Older people are also more likely to
take prescription medications that can
slow reflexes, decrease perception or
impair mobility.
What can be done to prevent such
falls and to help with recovery from a
fall? Find out with orthopaedic sur-

geon Dr. W. Kevin Cox at Health Cen-
tral's "What's Up Doc" seminar at
noon on Aug. 24 in the Boardroom
on the fourth floor. A free lunch will
be served.
Dr. Cox will present a seminar on
"Accidental Falls," offering insights
and advice on the causes of acciden-
tal falls, prevention and treatment for
injuries sustained in a fall.
To register or for details, call 407-
296-1497.

ty of life issues for terminal patients and their families.

Health Central offers unique hospice care

As one of only a few hospitals in
the Orlando area with a unit dedi-
cated to hospice patients, Health
Central is taking measures to ensure
that families and patients with end-
of-life issues receive high-quality
care. Health Central has partnered
with VITAS Innovative Hospice
Care to offer inpatient hospice ser-
vices to patients with terminal ill-
nesses.
"So much attention is focused on
life beginning or continuing, but we
tend not to focus as much on end-of-
life issues," said Della Underwood,
director of surgical care at Health
Central. "Acute-care patients re-
ceive abundant attention from the
nursing staff, because their nursing
skills can assist the patients and help
them regain their lifestyle. Termi-
nally ill patients might not get as
much attention (without hospice
care) because is it perceived there
is little that can be done for them."
Hospice care is a win-win situa-
tion, offering both the patients and
their families a plethora of resources
to support them, and providing
Health Central with measures to
streamline bills and provide
medicines and inpatient care with
costs absorbed by VITAS.
"The elderly patient and those on
fixed incomes often don't take their
medication because of the cost. We
enable them to be comfortable and
not conserve their drugs due to the
cost," said Ursula Whisner, VITAS

representative. She noted that the
dying patient is not the only focus of
hospice care. "We don't just focus
on the single needs of the patient.
We focus on the overall communi-
ty around the patient. In the bigger
picture, the family and the patient
become the center of the care plan,"
said Whisner.
The process to move a patient into
the hospice program starts with an
evaluation by a physician. Medical
staff members can recommend that
a patient be evaluated, though that's
not a guarantee that the patient will
be admitted to hospice care. With a
physician's referral, the patient is
evaluated by registered nurse Ivette
Asenjo, the VITAS admissions
nurse, and then hospice inpatient ser-
vices can begin.
Orlando Regional Medical Cen-
ter has no general inpatient hospice
contract, and though Florida Hospi-
tal does have a program, it does not
have dedicated beds for hospice care.
At Health Central, patients receive
hospice care in dedicated beds in a
third-floor unit.
"The nursing staff there is partic-
ularly attuned to caring for these pa-
tients," said Underwood.
With social workers from VITAS
partnering with Health Central's care
management team and skilled clin-
icians, patients and their families
find that this stressful time is made
easier and the cycle of life may end
more gently.

Ocoee celebrates National Night Out

The Ocoee Police Departmentjoined
forces with thousands of other commu-
nities across the country on Aug. 2 in
promoting cooperative, police-commu-
nity crime-prevention efforts. This year's
main National Night Out celebration in
Ocoee was held at Palm Drive Park.
Several community groups joined to-
gether to make the event a success. The
City of Ocoee Human Diversity Board
gave out National Night Out balloons. Girl
Scouts applied temporary tattoos. The
Ocoee Fire Department presented their
fire-safety puppet show, while the Local
Fire Union 3623 cooked the hot dogs
provided by Wal-Mart and the Ocoee
police. In addition, the Pepsi Co. gener-
ously donated sodas for the event.
Not only were Police Chief Steve Go-
clon and Fire Chief Richard Firstner at
the celebration, but elected officials such
as Mayor Scott Vandergrift and com-
missioners Nancy Parker, Scott Ander-
son and Rusty Johnson were on hand to
greet residents.
This year, the Rotary Club of Ocoee
gave out books to promote literacy and
bicycle helmets to promote child safety.
Club members also coordinated a free
drawing for a $100 Wal-Mart gift cer-
tificate.
Ocoee Police Explorer Post 2909 fin-
gerprinted children, gave away free gun
locks and provided information about
drug abuse awareness and crime pre-
vention.
Day Spring Church donated the use
of its carnival-style games, which the
children played for free until they won
prizes donated by McDonald's. As al-
ways, the children enjoyed the bounce
houses, but the ride in a police car for
children 5 and older was the biggest hit,
according to Sgt. Stephen McCosker.
When the mayor signed the procla-
mation declaring Aug. 2 as National
Night Out in the city, he called upon the
citizens to join the Ocoee Police De-
partment in supporting the event. The
residents of Westchester met that chal-
lenge by turning on all outside lights and
moving their lawn chairs to the front
yard and meeting their neighbors. The
Westchester residents were visited by
members of the Ocoee Police Depart-
ment who gave out National Night Out
balloons to the children.
The city's participation in National
Night Out has grown dramatically in the
three years the city has been involved. If
your community missed this year's op-
portunity to be part of this celebration,
now is the time to start planning for next
year's event, which is held on the first
Tuesday of August.

Windermere Union begins construction of new church campus

Windermere Union Church, Unit-
ed Church of Christ, is turning an
overgrown orange grove into the
church's new home. Church mem-
bers, local officials and friends joined
the pastors and other clergy at the
construction site July 30 for an offi-
cial groundbreaking ceremony. Se-
nior Pastor Barton Buchanan wel-
comed everyone to the celebration.
He said the day's events were aimed
at honoring God.
The church has outgrown is cur-
rent facility in downtown Winder-
mere on Oakdale Street and is be-
ginning construction for a new, larg-
er facility at 10710 Park Ridge-Gotha
Road, just north of town.
Special guests included Tom
Mitchell from the Florida Conference
of the United Church of Christ; Bea
Stoner, chairman of the Capital Cam-
paign; representatives of the con-
tractor, Brasfield and Gorrie, and of

the architectural firm, Hunton Brady;
the Rev. Bill Barnes, senior pastor of
St. Luke's United Methodist Church;
and Windermere Mayor Gary Bruhn,
who is also a church member. Ed
Mehlan, moderator of WUC, wel-
comed guests to the ceremony.
To begin the building process, 10
members and friends donned hard
hats and turned the symbolic first
shovels of earth in the location of the
new sanctuary and altar. Those par-
ticipating included Rev. Buchanan,
Rev. Karen Curtis-Weakley, Mayor
Bruhn, Mitchell, architects Danny
Gordon and Susan Pendergraft, con-
tractor Hugo Walden, Mehlan and
members Bob Minnick and Allan Na-
gle, who worked diligently to make
this day a reality.
Minnick described the project and
explained the location of the church's
two new buildings. Rev. Curtis-
Weakly closed the ceremony with a

prayer.
Following the groundbreaking, the
celebration continued at the current
sanctuary at 436 Oakdale St. with
special music under the direction of
music director Kevin Harris. Church
leaders presented Minnick and Na-
gle with special plaques recognizing
their leadership in the planning pro-
cess, and the two men will have
bricks engraved with their names in-
stalled in the entrance walkway to
the new church.
The senior pastor delivered an up-
lifting message acknowledging that
the members make the church, and
guest singer Rick Melbern offered a
spirited rendition of "Send It on
Down."
A buffet lunch concluded the fes-
tivities.
Completion of the new church is
expected in approximately eight
months.

Christian Service Center aids those in need Projects

a By Paige deRosa
The Christian Service Center is a
community social service agency de-
signed to help individuals in the Cen-
tral Florida area. Founded in 1971,
and with three locations in downtown
Orlando, Ocoee and Winter Park, the
organization is dedicated to helping
those who are willing to help them-
selves.
The programs running in the Cri-
sis Ministries for short-term relief are
Daily Bread, Family and Emergen-
cy Services and Fresh Start.
Daily Bread operates every Friday,
and allows for volunteers to serve
meals to the hungry and homeless.
Family and Emergency Services pro-
vides immediate relief for families
needing food, clothing, transporta-
tion, rent and utilities. Fresh Start is
a vocational program that gives em-
ployable males the opportunity to
take charge of their lives.
Peg MacDonald, director of the
center's West Orange division; lo-
cated at 300 W. Frankling St. in
Ocoee said funding comes primarily
from churches, individuals and or-
ganizations such as the United Way,
and not state funding. They are sup-

ported by approximately 250 differ-
ent churches and more than 7,000 in-
dividuals and organizations.
"With competition in this area from
so many other community organiza-
tions, we needed to find private or-
ganizations and go for grants," said
MacDonald.
The Daily Bread program serves
thousands of people in the West Or-
ange area. Last year alone, more than
20,000 meals were served at the West
Orange site. Seven years ago, the pro-
gram had the prestige of serving its
two-millionth meal.
The food for the Daily Bread pro-
gram is donated by hotels, restau-
rants, bakeries and grocery stores,
among others.
"We currently have a collaborative
relationship with [Disney's] Swan
Hotel," explained MacDonald. "We
pick up leftover food twice a week
from there. We also work with Winn-
Dixie, Publix and have access to the
Second Harvest food bank."
These organizations and other lo-
cal churches, hotels and restaurants
provide food and other products for
up to 500 individuals each Friday at
all three locations.

Reminiscing about Henry Jacob Esau Moses Robert Thomas Birdsong Jr.

Birdsong family holds weekend reunion in Winter Garden

By Amy Quesinberry

More than 110 members of the
Birdsong and Marshall families (and
some friends) gathered in Winter
Garden for a big weekend reunion
July 29-31. They came together for
catching up and to reminisce about
the patriarch of the family, the late
Henry Jacob Esau Moses Robert
Thomas Birdsong Jr. It was also a
celebration of the 100th anniversary
of Birdsong's birth.
The oldest family member in at-
tendance, Pauline Young, who is 68,
traveled from Tennessee. The
youngest attendee was 3-year-old
Erykah Marshall. Also there were
Dal and Betty Duppenthaler of Win-
ter Garden, whose families have a
long history with the Birdsongs.
The group attended the Friday
night gathering at Maxey Community
Center, enjoyed a picnic Saturday
at Barnett Park in Orlando and end-
ed the weekend party with a banquet
at Tanner Hall on Sunday.
During the Sunday program, at-
tendees held a memorial service for
all the deceased members of the fam-
ily. It wasn't all somber, though. The
program also included lots of
singing.
"About everyone in my family
sings," said Robert Birdsong, re-
union chairman and one of Henry
Jr.'s 16 children. "It was awesome.
We had a very nice program with
solos, duets, all kinds of singing."
The families attending the reunion
received a booklet created for the
reunion: Reminiscing on the Life of
Henry Jacob Esau Moses Robert
Thomas Birdsong Jr. Robert Bird-
song shared his father's story with
The West Orange Times.
Henry was born in Culleoka
Tenn., in March 1905 to Henry Bird-
song Sr. and Amanda "Mandy"
Wilkes. To close friends and fami-
ly, she was "Big Mama."
The Birdsong family and Winter
Garden's Roper/Duppenthaler fam-
ilies have a long history. One of
young Henry's earliest duties was

to care for a horse belonging to Dr.
Smiser and to carry in the doctor's
medical bag when he visited Hen-
ry's mother.
Dr. Smiser was Betty Roper Dup-
penthaler's grandfather.
During his adult life, Henry was
strong, healthy and active. But as a
child, he had problems with his legs
and wasn't able to walk when he was
young. Since he wasn't very mobile,
the boy spent most of his time with
his mother in the Smisers' kitchen,
where Mandy was a cook.
"Of course, Mandy was a terrific
cook," according to the Birdsong
family history, "and this could well
be the basic reason that Henry turned
out to be a super cook himself."
Henry moved to Central Florida
after visiting a relative in Winter
Haven, working for the Igou family.
Dr. Smiser's daughter, Charlotte,
came to Florida in 1918 for a visit and
met Bert Hause Roper, a farmer and
citrus grower living in Winter Gar-
den.
"He convinced her that he was in
love with her and that Winter Gar-
den was a fine place to live," reads
the history.
They married and settled in a
home near downtown that included
a small house at the back of the prop-
erty.
Charlotte brought her cook and
housekeeper, Hattie, who moved
into the little house but soon returned
home to Tennessee because she was
so homesick.
While Bert and Charlotte were
taking Hattie home, they met Hen-
ry, who was returning to Tennessee
as well. The Ropers asked Henry to
work for them as a cook and handy-
man, and he accepted, making the
little house his home.
This began 70 years of living in
Winter Garden and working for Bert
and Charlotte Roper's family.
Over the years, Henry honed his
cooking skills and learned all about
citrus caretaking in the Ropers' ex-
tensive groves in the Beulah area
south of Winter Garden. He spent

many nights sleeping by the irriga-
tion motor, making sure it kept run-
ning.
In 1929, the Ropers adopted twins
who were about 5 years old: Char-

One of Henry Birdsong's earliest duties was to carry Dr. Smiser's medical bag into the house when he vis-
ited Henry's mother. He also took care of a horse belonging to Smiser, who was Betty Duppenthaler's
grandfather.

lotte Elizabeth "Betty" (now Dup-
penthaler) and Frank Booker Rop-
er (later known in West Orange
County as Mr. Frank). Henry im-
mediately took a liking to them.
Soon after, Henry met Rosetta
Marshall, whom he married in
September 1930. She moved into the
little house with him, and their first
child, a daughter, was born a year
later.
In 1932, the Ropers built a new
home in the middle of an orange
grove with a small lake in the back
yard for themselves and another for
Henry and Rosetta across the lake.
The Birdsongs lived in the house
for 25 years and had 15 more chil-
dren. After Henrietta's birth in 1931
came Mandoline (1933), Lillian Ver-
nell (1936), Larry Eugene (1938),
Christine Amanda (1939), Gladys
Jerlene (1941), Willie Marshall
(1942), Rosa Mae (1943), Eunice
Elizabeth (1944), Versie Alberta
(1946), Henry Jacob (1947), Ruth
Ester (1950), Juanita Celestine
(1952), James Roper (1953), Robert
Franklin (1955) and Melvin Lewis
(1957).
Henry often said "he had no mag-
ic formula for raising children,"
reads his history, "that it was one
experiment after another, always
having the goal in mind of raising
happy, well-adjusted individuals that
would grow up to be good citizens."
While Henry was busy with his
work and community responsibili-
ties, Rosetta held the family togeth-
er with her cooking, sewing and oth-
er homemaking abilities. The chil-
dren always loved her sweet potato
pie.
Rosetta enjoyed dressing up the
children at Christmas and seeing
them gathered around the big din-
ing room table at Charlotte's and,
later, Betty's homes and hearing
them sing Christmas carols.
Henry spent his life as a leader in
his church, his community, the Ma-
sonic Lodge and other organizations
he joined. He served as a Boy Scout-
master as well.
Henry was famous for his culinary
specialties, including his cheese cro-
quets and his tiny, flaky biscuits, but
his true claim to fame was his bar-
becue sauce.
For years, Dal Duppenthaler han-
dled the cooking during Winter Gar-
den Lions Club barbecue cookouts -
until Henry became interested and
took over. The Lions Club thought
so much of Henry and all his hard
work that members inducted him

barbecue sauce.Henry and Rosetta Birdsong had 16 children during their
58 years of marriage.

into the club. He is the only black
person to have ever joined.
The family believes that "good
deeds bring their just rewards," and
their father is a testament to that old
adage. When the Lions Club held a
glaucoma screening, they insisted
that Henry be checked. He did have
the disease, but he was given

medicine that saved a portion of his
eyesight until he died when he was
87.
At the close of the reunion cele-
bration, the grandchildren "decided
to take the torch and go on with the
family reunions," Robert Birdsong
said. The next get-together will be
held in Winter Garden in 2007.

Golf

Drive, Chip and Putt Challenge
returns to Orlando, Eagle Creek

Sully Zagerman, 6, a 2nd-grader at Windermere Preparatory School,
is pictured with his 1st-place trophy at the Orlando Jaycees 58th annual
Pee Wee Golf Tournament held July 17-18 at Orange County Nation-
al Golf Center in Winter Garden.

Local junior defends Pee Wee golf title

Sully Zagerman, 6, successfully
defended his title in the age 3-6 di-
vision of the Orlando Jaycees 58th
annual Pee Wee Golf Tournament.
The event was held July 17-18 at
Orange County National Golf Cen-
ter. The field included more than 70
players ranging in age from 3-17,
and trophies were awarded for first
through third in five age divisions.
The Jaycees use proceeds from the
tournament for a shopping event for
underprivileged children to purchase
school clothes and supplies.
A second-grader at Windermere
Preparatory School, Zagerman
added the victory to an impressive

list of wins this season. This win
came on the heels of Zagerman's
1 Ith-place finish in the 2005 Junior
World Golf Championships, July
12-15, in San Diego. There he com-
peted with 42 players from around
the world in his age category. He is
also the 2004 Celebration Town
Golf Champion in the 9-year-old-
and-under category. He practices
and plays at Celebration Golf
Academy and is instructed by PGA
and former European Tour player,
Kenny Nairn, a native of St. An-
drews, Scotland.
He is the son of Barry and Debby
Zagerman of Cypress Landing.

Hundreds of youngsters will hit
the links of the Eagle Creek Golf
Club on Sept. 18 when the Mutual
of Omaha Drive, Chip and Putt Ju-
nior Challenge presented by The
Golf Channel comes back to Or-
lando.
Now in its seventh year, Orlan-
do is one of the 105 stops through-
out the United States and Canada
for the world's largest junior golf
program of this kind. With the help
of Brighthouse, Nike Golf, Delta
Apparel and Featherlite, The Golf
Channel hopes in 2005 to introduce
the game of golf in a free, fun and
friendly environment to more than
35,000 kids regardless of skill lev-
el.
"We're thrilled to bring Mutual
of Omaha's Drive, Chip and Putt
Junior Challenge to Orlando," said
Mutual of Omaha General Manag-
er Jerry Abee. "Everyone is a win-
ner in this fun and rewarding pro-
gram for kids between the ages of
7 and 14."
The first 250 registrants in each
city will be selected to compete.
Winners from each local event will
have the opportunity to compete in
regional championships and, pos-
sibly, represent their hometowns at
the Mutual of Omaha Drive, Chip &
Putt National Championship in Oc-
tober.
Competitors will be divided into
four age groups: 7-8, 9-10, 11-12
and 13-14. Each competitor will hit
two drives, each measured for dis-
tance. Scores will consist of the bet-
ter ball that stays within set bound-
aries. Each competitor will chip
three balls onto a green pre-marked
with concentric circles. Balls that
land in the innermost circles will
score the highest points, with bonus
points awarded for any chip that
goes in the cup. The competitors
will putt two balls, one five feet

from the hole, the other 15 feet. The
objective will be to sink the putts
in as few strokes as possible, with
a maximum of four putts per ball.
Eighteen prizes vill be awarded
in each age group, one each to the
top five drives, chippers and put-
ters as well as first, second and third
rankings for the best combined per-
formance.
For the national event, the first-
place winners in each age group
from the 20 regional championships
will advance to the National Cham-
pionship in October. The Golf
Channel will highlight select re-
gional competitions and the national
championship.

plete event schedule, log on to

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

Have you ever been hit with something so hard and unexpected that
at first you just stand there numb and unsure if what you've just heard
is even reality? Then the next wave of emotion hits and knocks you out
of your stupor, and all you can think to do is run. Fear sets in and you
are out of there. A few weeks ago I was there. I just knew I was fin-
ished and believed that all hope was lost. The only way to survive was
to run and hide.
In my terrified state, I cried out to God and He asked me one of the
most peculiar questions, "What do people do when a hurricane is com-
ing?" I had pictures in my mind of homes being boarded up and people
scurrying around buying huge quantities of bottled water and nonper-
ishable food. Then God asked, "What does Chris do?" Thinking of my
friend Chris; he likes to play the drums and he likes to surf. At that mo-
ment it clicked. Hurricanes produce the best waves for surfing. So

CHURCH

God showed me my options, I could let fear control me and hide or I
could go surfing.
Now practically, what has that looked like? For me it has been
through praise and worship. Not just the official "praise and worship
time" at church, but on my own, singing, dancing, and worshipping on
my face- even when I didn't feel like it. Through that worship the fo-
cus came off of how big the storm in my life was to how big God is.
"You have turned my wailing into dancing; you have removed my
sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and
not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever."
Psalm 30:11-12 (NIV)
Surfs Up!

AAA partners with
Boys and Girls Clubs
for teen-driver safety
To educate teens on traffic safe-
ty, the AAA Foundation for Traffic
Safety and AAA Auto Club South
recently teamed up with Boys &
Girls Clubs of America to provide
a free copy of the foundation's in-
teractive and engaging risk man-
agement software, Driver-ZED, to
every Boys and Girls Club in the
U.S.
"Traffic collisions are the leading
cause of death for teen drivers," said
Tom O'Brien, president, AAA Auto
Club South. "Working with Boys
and Girls Clubs is a natural venue
through which we can educate teens
and raise awareness about their safe-
ty behind the wheel."
Driver-ZED is based on a real-

UCP needs foster parents for special needs children

United Cerebral Palsy of Central Flori-
da is recruiting adults in Orange and Osce-
ola counties to provide foster care for chil-
dren with all types of disabilities and de-
velopmental delays as part of its new Spe-
cial Kids Foster Care Program.
"Children with disabilities and delays
are particularly likely to be victims of ne-
glect and abuse and to need foster care,"
said Ilene Wilkins, UCP's president and
CEO. "Approximately 80 percent of kids
in foster care have special needs. We be-
lieve our 50 years of experience serving
these children and our network of experts
ad support services for families uniquely
qualify us to meet the needs of these kids."

According to Wilkins, the new program
will help place special needs children who
have been removed from their homes into
caring, supportive foster or adoptive ar-
rangements, where they can be safe, start
to heal from their emotional scars and ex-
perience the home and family they may
never have had before.
Foster parents must be at least 21, able
to pass a background screening, have a
stable source of income and complete a
10-session training class.
For more information, visit UCP's Web
site at www.ucpcdc.org or call Jean Wil-
son, UCP's director of foster care, at 407-

Beautiful Mall or Urban Sprawl?

The Straw Poll mailed to you is not asking you to vote on a mall. It is asking you to REZONE
135 acres of residential property for commercial development.
The Sembler Company claims this will be good for Winter Garden. Will it?

Sembler's Claims Reality Check

The mall will be "a gathering destination..." (Ad in WOT 7/28) The rezoning will create a 106.5 acre "beltway center" that is
They have compared it to the Winter Park Village. 4 times the size of The Winter Park Village (27.5 acres).
A 6- lane road will cut through the center.
The mall will be "filled with specialty retailers, must have services The mall anchor stores will be "big box" retailers like Super Target
and an array of restaurants and eateries." (Ad WOT 7/28) and Lowes that "compete with the merchants along SR 50".
(Market Advisors Report for City of WG, Nov. 04)
"Traffic distribution... arrives via several roads...spread out through Sembler's traffic study shows Daniels Road at SR 50 will carry 43% of
the day." (Sembler WEB site) the new traffic burden. This will only make congestion on SR 50 worse
for all of us. (City of WG Mtg. 7/28)
"Architecture reflects and respects the City of Winter Garden's history downtown, th
and culture" (Sembler WEB site)[ At more than ten times the size of our newly restored downtown, this
commercial "power center" will become Winter Garden's center. Tran-
i sient shoppers will not need to go downtown.
A Sembler attorney stated "Sembler, nor ank other developer,
would develop a 40 acre mall (on the Fowler Property)." Sembler is now building Legacy Place, a project less than half the size
(WOT Article 7/21) of this one, on PGA Blvd. in Palm Beach Gardens. In fact, all of Sem-
bler's projects are smaller than this one.

Fowler Groves offers Sembler 40 acres for commercial development now!
Why does Sembler insist the whole 174.8 acres be commercialized?
174.8 is an area almost 3 times the entire West Oaks Mall complex.

Sembler is spending thousands of advertising dollars and promising millions in impact fees
and improvements. Do you think they are doing this because they love Winter Garden?

If you love our home, DON'T REZONE! fVote NO on the Straw Poll!
