Ocoee Commission puts off decision on proposed front-yard parking rules -The elected officials decide to revisit the issues in the middle of January or the beginning of February 2007. By Mary Anne Swickerath The second reading and public hear- ing of a proposed ordinance that would add more restrictions on front-yard parking in Ocoee met with strong op- position from residents at last week's City Commission meeting. The residents, mainly from the Spring Lake Circle and Center Street neighborhoods, objected to the part of the ordinance that would require any vehicles parked in front yards to be parked on a hard surface, not mulch or grass, while still requiring that 50 per- cent of the front yard had to be grass or landscaping. Resident James Fleming told the elected officials that the ordinance ba- sically imposes homeowners' associ- ation rules on older neighborhoods "that just won't work." Other speakers said they couldn't afford to provide paved parking for all their cars, trucks and boats, especial- ly those with teenagers and grown chil- dren or other relatives living with them. Several residents agreed that if they had wanted to live in a development governed by homeowners' association rules they would have. Spring Lake Circle residents point- ed out that because of the rules gov- erning the flow of traffic through their neighborhood to Spring Lake Ele- mentary there was no way they could comply with the proposed restrictions. They already have parking problems because of the school traffic. Mayor Scott Vandergrift said the commission had received complaints about homes with cars parked straight across the front yard and over the side- walk. The first is unsightly, and the second blocks those in wheelchairs from being able to use the sidewalks. The purpose of the proposed ordi- nance (which runs to 31 pages when. downloaded from the city's Web site), is to "have a beautiful, liveable town," said Vandergrift. Ocoee Community Development Director Russ Wagner gave a detailed presentation on all aspects of the or- dinance, which covers more than front- yard parking. It also deals with such (See Ocoee, 3A) Community activist Charlie Mae Wilder will serve on the City Commission until the March election. By Mary Anne Swickerath Out of five candidates seeking to re- place the late Mildred Dixon on the Winter Garden City Commission, Charlie Mae Wilder won the job on the third motion by the elected offi- cials at a special daytime meeting held Saturday in City Hall. "I'd just like to thank God for his goodness," she said, when asked by Mayor Jack Quesinberry if she would like to make a comment following her appointment as District 3 commis- sioner. Wilder, a 30-year resident of Win- ter Garden, has been active on a vari- ety of boards for almost 20 years, in- cluding the city's Code Enforcement Board, on which she served as chair- man; the Community Redevelopment Agency; the East Winter Garden Com- munity Development Corp.; and the Library Board. A resident of District 3, she is re- tired from Orange County Communi- ty Affairs Project Head Start and is employed at the Bethlehem Learning Center and Day Care in Winter Garden. She is also the executive director of Central Florida Young at Heart Se- niors Inc., a group she founded in 1997. "I believe that I can empower the people to do the job at hand," said Wilder during the five-minute pre- sentation each candidate was allotted to address the elected officials. To her, the "job at hand" includes improving affordable housing, educa- CHARLIE MAE WILDER tion, recreation and job opportunities in east Winter Garden. Her goal will be to get the people of District 3 involved in helping to bring about positive change. "I do believe that I can lead the peo- ple," she told The West Orange Times. The other candidates who threw their hats in the ring for the District 3 seat were Johnnie Mae Anderson, Harold Bouler, Rod Reynolds and Henry Wright. Both Anderson and Reynolds are former city commis- sioners. After all the hopefuls had spoken on their own behalf, Mayor Quesin- berry told them that whoever was se- lected to complete Dixon's term would only serve until March of 2007 when the next city election would be held, so each would have a second chance to campaign for this position. He also pointed out that a majority vote was necessary to make this appointment. Commissioner Theo Graham (See Dixon, 3A) Oakland swears in Commissioner McMullen By Amy Quesinberry Joseph McMullen has been appointed to the Oakland Town Com- mission, replacing Bill Sullivan, who vacated the seat when he ac- cepted ajob with the Winter Garden Police Department. According to state law, citizens cannot hold dual public offices, so he.had to make a choice. Sullivan was elected to the commission position in March. McMullen was sworn in Monday night at the Town Commission's joint budget and regular meeting. He lives in the John's Landing sub- division and has been an Oakland resident for four years. He and Car- mita, his wife of nearly 11 years, have one daughter, Madison, who is almost 3. The new commissioner is a pharmacist with Wellcare Insurance healthcare company. McMullen expressed his gratitude at being considered for the com- mission seat. "I'm excited about it," he said. "I'm looking forward to doing my part."

Town revenues for the fiscal year 2006-07 total -$3.530.2S4 with $1,796,434 coming from property-tax assessments, $93,080 from gas-tax revenues, $178,000 in franchise fees and $208,800 in utility taxes. Other significant revenue sources include half-cent sales tax $353,247, com- muniication services tax -'$276,643 and revenue sharing $92,948. The town projects additional in- come from federal grant, appropria- tions of $467,000, which will be off- set by $467,000 in grant expenditures for transportation, bike paths and pedestrian safety improvements. Windermere's total assessed valu- ation for property taxes increased by $5,541,019 from the 2005-06 total of $449,252,507 to $454,793,526 for FY 2006-07. The town's budgeted rev- enue from property taxes is based on this valuation as estimated by the Or- ange County Property Appraiser's Of- fice. A property valued at $100,000 with no homestead exemption would pay $395 in taxes to Windermere. Major expenditures for next year include a full-time position for an as- sistant town manager (salary $40,000) and merit raises for town staff that av- erage from two to six percent. The fixed capital expense account includes payments of $29,046 for three 2005 police cars, one 2006 po- lice car and one 2007 police car on a lease-to-purchase plan. Budgeted ex- penses for equipment upgrades for the department also include three auto- matic defibrillators ($5,100), one in- car video camera ($3,200) and one police radio ($3,800). The administration budget includes the purchase of a portable CD recorder for staff to record committee and small group meetings. Maintenance Department expens- es include $75,000 for the lease-pur- chase of a vacuum truck with a wa- ter-jet system to clean the drainage vats in the Main Street area, as well as culverts throughout the town. Elected officials included $50,000 in next year's budget to update and revise the town's Comprehensive Plan (See Windermere, 3A) West Orange rededicates field inoro couresy Or wui-n Members of the community gathered for West Orange High Homecoming festivities, highlighted by the rededication of Raymond Screws Field before the Warriors defeated Freedom 35-14 last Friday night.

Knox Nursery relocating to Winter Garden Windermere Knox Nursery, one of the top green- house growers in the nation, is relocat- ing to a new facility in Winter Garden. After 35 years of business, Knox has de- cided to auction off the fixtures and equipment including the greenhous- es at its original Orlando location. Knox Nursery started growing hibis- cus cuttings in a backyard mist box. As the quintessential family business, it has steadily grown and expanded over the years to included two major facilities and a wide variety of products. To con- Ocoee issues as fencing, mechanical equipment on residential lots and garage conver- sions, all of which have been a topic of >mplaints to city officials. "We tried to consolidate all of the is- tes that have come up into one ordi- mce," explained Wagner, who had :en directed by the commission to pre- ire an ordinance on the parking issues. Wagner said parts of the new ordi- ince would liberalize the rules. For ex- nple, current city codes prohibit recre- ional and camping vehicles and boats rger than 24 feet long from being irked or stored for more than 48 hours less it is located behind the front yard iilding line." The proposed ordinance ups the length 36 feet but adds that they must be :reened in the back yard with a six- lot-high opaque fence with a gate. Wagner also pointed out that certain )ads would be exempt from the pro-' tsed rule of prohibiting parking on the 'ea between the sidewalk and the street. these are A.D. Mims Road, Flewelling venue, Wurst Road, Center Street, coee Hills Road, Russell Drive and fillow Creek Road, all of which are )llector roads with no street parking lowed. After Wagner's presentation and com- tents from citizens, the City Commis- on added its own concerns about the or- nance. Commissioner Joel Keller said it would only be fair for Spring Lake Cir- e to be given an exception to the park- ..g rules. "I would like to see some type of lim- itations," he said, "but in some of the solidate and prepare for the next phase of growth, Knox nursery is closing down its Orlando location and moving all opera- tions to the new Winter Garden facility. To assist in this process, Knox Nurs- ery has hired another family-owned and operated business, West Auctions, to auction off the fixtures and equipment at the Orlando site online. Bruce Knox, president of the nursery, knew his equip- ment would fair well on the national mar- ket. To keep in touch with local buyers in older areas we have to look at practi- cality." He said citizens should be able to park their boats and other vehicles on mulch. He added that if the fencing rules are approved they should only apply to new fences, not ones already put up. Commissioner Gary Hood said there are more areas than Spring Lake Circle and Center Street that would need waivers. He suggested the ordinance be post- poned so further study could take place and the ramifications of the more con- troversial parts of the ordinance could be better understood. After two and one-half hours of dis- cussion, he said, "I think we're sitting here bumping our gums" and asked for a special meeting on the ordinance to consider some of the information pre- sented at the public hearing. Commissioner Scott Anderson said, "We're not going to be able to please everybody" but asked staff to look at other Central Florida municipalities to see how they have handled residential park- ing issues. He also objected to the fact that the city charges a $500 fee to apply for a variance or waiver. The elected officials voted 4-0 (Com- missioner Rusty Johnson was out of town) to send the ordinance back to staff arid the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion and to plan ajoint meeting with the P&Z in the middle of January or the be- ginning of February. Hood also suggested that the com- missioners talk with their constituents in order to have more citizen input. this sale, the Knox Nursery auction has been scheduled to coincide with the an- nual Florida Nursery and Allied Trades Show in Orlando Sept. 28-30.

Gillard, CPA/PFS REORGANIZING YOUR PORTFOLIO CAN PROVIDE TAX SAVINGS If your investment portfolio is due for a review and perhaps some realignment, you may be able to reorganize your portfolio and cut taxes too. Here are some suggestions to consider. Consider selling somesecurities. The tax code allows you to offset up to $3,000 of net- capital losses annually against other taxable in- come ($1,500 if married filing separately). Sell- ing enough "winners" or "losers" to reach this figure may result in the maximum tax benefit for 2006. But if you decide to' repurchase securi- ties you sell, beware of the "wasl sale" rule. If you buy the same security within 30 days before or after selling it at a loss, the loss is not de- ductible. This rule does not apply if you sell at a gain. Let's look at a couple of examples. Example A: Sally has realized $5,000 of tax- able gains in 2006. She decides to dispose of losers and sells enough to generate $8,000 in losses. Her $3,000 net loss should be fully de- ductible in 2006. ExampleB: Jack has realized losses of $10,000. He still owns a stock with large unrealized gains, and he expects it to appreciate further. He decides to sell enough shares to generate $7,000 in gains and immediately repurchases the shares. Com- bining the $10,000 of losses with the $7,000 of gains gives him a $3,000 net loss which is fully deductible. Jack's cost is the commission he pays on the sale and repurchase. Consider donating appreciated stock to your favorite charity. Generally, you're al- lowed to claim a charitable deduction for the fair market value of the stock and avoid tax on the gain. The charity can then sell the stock tax- free. Careful planning and choosing among the dif- ferent techniques can help you reduce taxes when reorganizing your investment portfolio. Before you reorganize your portfolio, contact us if you would like specific tax-saving guidance. GILLARD FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS. LLC 407-877-6887 114 Pennsylvania'Ave. Winter Garden Louis Fazio is shown completing the Ocoee Founders' Day 5K last year. Fazio 5k Walk continues to support Health Central's School Nurse Program For the sixth year in a row, Louis A. Fazio Jr. will participate in the 5K bear- ing his name. He participates in the Ocoee Founders' Day race/walk in or- der to raise money for Health Central Foundation's School Nurse Program and Health Central Park. Fazio is the past chairman of the Health Central Foundation and current- ly serves as community relations man- ager for Manheim's Florida Auto Auc- tion of Orlando located in Ocoee. He has had cerebral palsy since birth, but he has not let his disability stop him. He is a well-known community advocate and is involved in numerous communi- ty affairs. Fazio, who uses a wheelchair, nor- mally uses a special walker to help him walk the three-plus mile route. This year, however, his doctor recommended Fazio use his wheelchair to complete his sixth year in participating in the Founders' Day event. Dixon moved to appoint Anderson after say- ing he thought any of the five candidates "could do a good job." The vote on this motion ended in a 2-2 tie, so Mayor Quesinberry moved to appoint Bouler based, he said, on the numerous phone calls of support he had received regarding Bouler's candidacy. "Seventy percent of the calls I had were for Bouler," he commented. Fazio said next year he will use his walker as he has done in previous years with a little help from above. The Founders' Day race/walk will be- gin andend at the northwest comer of the West Oaks Mall on West Colonial Drive in Ocoee. Starting time is 7:30 a.m. Donations from supporters will aid the foundation in providing registered nurses in elementary, middle and high school clinics; medical supplies for school clinics; supplies for the Chil- dren's Free Medical Clinics; and repairs to the Health Central Park activities bus, among other things. The School Nurse Program benefits 33 schools to date. The proceeds from the walk will also benefit Health Central Park's Adult Day Care Scholarships Fund and renovations to the Patriot Cir- cle Wing at the park.

(Continued from front page) This motion died for a lack of a sec- ond, so the mayor made another motion, this time in favor of Wilder. She was appointed with a 3-1 vote, with ayes from the mayor and commissioners Graham and Gerald Jowers (by a phone hookup since he was in Denver, where, he told the standing-room-only audi- ence, the temperature was 38 degrees). Commissioner Colin Sharman cast a no vote. --- - - - -.

Some were added by the legislature during the 2006 session and others by peti- tion initiative. The Chamber board heard recommendations made by the Governmental Affairs Committee at its Septem- ber meeting. The board considered the amendments that most aligned themselves with our business agenda. Af- ter careful thought and discussion, the board voted to support two amendments. They are: Amendment 3, which requires a broader public sup- port for Constitutional amendments or revisions. For more information on why voting yes on Amendment 3 is important, please visit www.protectourconstitution.org. Amendment 8 refers to eminent domain, which would require that private property taken by eminent domain to be retained for five years before it may be transferred to another private entity. The Chamber board urges you to vote "yes" on both these amendments on your upcoming ballot. In order'to read non-partisan information, pros and cons on these amendments and the five others, visit www.votesmartFlorida.org. Thank you for your support! Stina D'Uva President West Orange Chamber of Commerce Winter Garden Editor: The Ocoee City Commission has finalized the placing of annual charges for garbage and stormwater fees onto your county tax bill. You now must pay $312 one year in advance for services you will not receive for up to a full year. If you have a mortgage escrow, you will be paying at least an additional $624 into escrow to make up for the resulting escrow deficit and to put aside funds for the following year. This noticeable expense, along with higher homeowner's insurance and higher taxes, will add up for everyone who has a mortgage, facing higher escrow account payments. To be fair, you will be pay- ing $26 per month less on your water bill. During the push to place this additional burden onto 9,500 taxpayers, staff floated various amounts of thou- safids of dollars of savings to be realized by doing this. There were never any details published, but one of the costs of the present system, they said, was the need for volumes of personnel hours necessary to place garbage and stormwater charges individually onto over 13,000 monthly statements manually, not by computer. This, they said, was very time-consuming. West Orange Community, The time is upon us once again to begin thinking about the Ocoee Founders' Day Louis A. Fazio Jr: 5K Walk on Oct. 14. I will once again be walking to ben- efit the Health Central Foundation this year from my wheelchair due to osteoporosis. My goal is to be up and running on my walker next year. I am privileged to serve as 2006 past chairman. This year I need the community's help more than ever. One of the foundation's primary keystone programs is the School Nurse Program, which provides regis- tered nurses for 33 schools located in the West Orange community. Many of you may not know the funding for this program is only partially covered by Orange County Public Schools for the elementary and middle schools served. There is no funding for the high schools being served. This means the foundation must raise $16,500 for each elementary and middle school and $31,000 for each high school we serve in the West Learning Com- Now that this enormous, time-consuming task has been removed from the utility billing department, the staff still refuses to reduce one or more employees who will no longer be spending perhaps hundreds of hours preparing these bills. They claim the need for someone to still "mail out the bills." This function has always been done; presumably it is no more difficult to mail out statements now than before. The retention of only one per- son, by staff's own computation, is at a cost of over $50,000 per year! To what other beneficial uses could this money be put? Staff cannot have it both ways. Bottom line is that they have been relieved of a very time-consuming task. If the City Commission does not vote to eliminate at least one employee as a result of their having no work to do, then they would have negated a major part of the highly tout- ed savings which were to be realized by putting that bur- den on 9,500 water customers. They should stand up to staff and eliminate positions! To do otherwise is irresponsible. Henry Morgan Ocoee munity. This year, we will add a new high school to be funded. Our task is daunting but not impossible. When I walk for the foundation, it is not only to ben- efit the School Nurse Program but also to assist the "young at heart" the delightful people who call Health Central Park their home. Health Central Park provides outpatient and skilled nursing care for the elderly in the West Orange community and Metro Orlando. To continue my success in assisting the Health Cen- tral Foundation with its goals, I need my fellow com- munity leaders and members to take the lead by spon- soring or donating to the 5K Walk to benefit the young and "young at heart." Please make checks payable to Health Central Foundation, referencing Fazio 5K Walk. Thank you in advance for your continued support. I look forward to a profitable campaign. Louis A.

Leonard Mann has offered to sell for $20,000 a lot on Cypress Street west of Dillard Street containing two houses which, with a connecting wing, could be converted into a library. Commissioner Foy Maloy moved that the city purchase the property and move out of the "barn" that now hous- es the West Orange Library. An average of 14,000 books are furnished by the Orange County Library on a rotat- ing basis. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held for the new home of John Lamb Chevrolet on Highway 50.

Editor: I was sad to hear the news of the passing of former Winter Garden Commissioner Mildred Dixon. I covered the Winter Garden City Commission meetings as a re- porter from 1987-1991 and also in 1999 to 2001 for The West Orange Times. She not only had a great sense of hu- mor, but told the all-male city commission how things should be done, not in just her district but in all the oth- ers. I remember introducing myself to her after covering the commission meeting for one of the first times and her telling me, "The Winter Garden Times doesn't al- ways have things right in the paper. Now, if you listen to me and print what I said then what you'll have in that paper will be correct." She made going to the meetings fun. For the most part, like all city politics, the meetings were slow and not very interesting. However, when Mildred spoke, people lis- tened. I hope she'll be remembered for being such a great activist for her community and one the younger people of Winter Garden won't forget anytime soon.

Did I pay too much? Is it really the right home for my family? This response-- referred to as "Buyer's Remorse"--is completely normal! When you feel such anxiety, call your friends who have owned a home for a few years. Are they bothered by rapidly escalating prices? Not at all! That means the value of their home is going up, too. While their mortgage payments seemed high at first, they are probably paying less now than if they were renting a smaller home. There is also the pride of ownership as improvements are made to the prop- erty. They may have felt equally as anxious when they signed their pur- chase contract, but they are probably glad that they went through with it. When you experience "buyer's pan- ic"--hang in there--you will be glad you did!

WOHS dedicates new Raymond Screws Field West Orange High School recently completed the long task of building the only synthetic turf high school play- ing field in Orange County. After a ceremony rededicating Raymond Screws Field, the Warriors took on Freedom High in a Homecoming showdown that ended in a 35-14 vic- tory. The evening began with representa- tives of the business community, the West Orange Foundation, Orange County Public Schools and members of the Raymond Screws family gather- ing on the field to pay tribute to Screws, a former principal at WOHS. On behalf of her late husband and accompanied by her children, Michael and Teresa, Glenis Screws accepted a memorial plaque and performed the ribbon-cutting ceremony. "We are so honored to have Mrs. Screws and her children here tonight," said Dr. Daniel Buckman, principal. "It is only fitting we honor the past contributions of Mr. Screws as we cel- ebrate this new beginning at West Or- ange High." In a ceremony punctuated by music, balloons and fireworks, Buckman ex- pressed his gratitude to OCPS Super- intendent Ronald Blocker and Area Superintendents Dr. Rosita Riley and Dr. Jenny Reeves. Elected officials from Ocoee, Win- ter Garden and Windermere gathered on the field alongside representatives from area businesses to accept the thanks and applause of an obviously grateful crowd of students, staff, fac- ulty and alumni. All were eager to see the Warriors play their first home game of the season. "There were a great many people and organizations involved in this pro- ject, and we are indebted to all of them," said Buckman. "But our deep- est appreciation has to be given to the West Orange Foundation for all they did to make this dream a reality." The West Orange Foundation is a non-profit organization established ear- lier in the year by school and commu- nity leaders. It is made up of members Don Bostick, the Rev. David Braland, Julie Butler, Dr. John Cappleman, Jim Carter, Jim and Betty Goodwin, Joyce Jensen, Vicki West and Chuck Wolf. "The West Orange Foundation re- ally stepped up and through their time and effort made a huge contribution to the community as a whole. This will benefit our school and youth for gen- erations to come," said Buckman, who pointed out the field will be used by student athletes playing football, soc- cer and lacrosse. The foundation purchased the field at a cost exceeding $500,000 and will pay for it with funds raised from the community. Because of the founda- tion's support, the new field will not be a financial drain on WOHS or OCPS. In fact, the new field will ulti- mately save money and resources. Natural grass fields must be regu- larly mowed and painted, intermittently re-sodded and frequently watered. However, the new ProGrass synthetic turf requires no such maintenance. The greatest savings may be in water since the school will no longer pour 3.4 mil- lion gallons of it onto the playing field each year. While the West Orange High Ath- letics Department is the most imme- diate beneficiary of the new field, Coach Tim Smith was quick to point out the foundation is not focused solely on supporting athletics.

Grant-funded tree inventory is complete The Windermere Tree Board completed the town's first public tree inventory last week. Funding for this project was provided by the U.S. Forest Service, a part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, through the Florida Division of Forestry's Urban Community Forestry Grant Program. The in- ventory begins anew era in tree management for the town. Each tree was located using back- pack Global Positioning System units. The health, condition, size and species were all recorded and en- tered into a computer database. This information will now be accessible for tree maintenance needs, storm. damage and assessment, general monitoring of tree condition and property values. Additionally, a smaller portion of the grant funded the beginning re- search for writing a new enforce- able tree ordinance. Photo exhibit continues at Millenia Fine Art Millenia Fine Art gallery will host an exhibition featuring the photog- raphy of Neil Leifer through Oct. 18. As a photographer for Sports Il- lustrated, Time and Life magazines, Leifer's photographs have appeared on more covers than those of any oth- er photographer itf Time Inc. histo- ry. The exhibit, titled 'Knock You Out" and referring to Leifer's very famous picture of Muhammad Ali on the cover of his recent book, The Best f Leifer, will be presented Sept. 15-Oct. 15. Leifer became a professional pho- tographer while still in his teens. Be- ginning in 1960 as a freelancer, his pictured began appearing in every major national magazine, including the Saturday Evening Post, Look, Life, Newsweek, Time and, most of- ten, Sports Illustrated. In 1972, he became a staff pho- tographer for Sports Illustrated, and in 19878 for Time magazine. By the time Leifer left the compa- ny in 1990, his photographs had ap- peared on more than 200 Sports Il-' lustrated, Time and People covers, the most covers ever published of one photographer's work in Time Inc.'s history. The photographer has published nine books, four of which are col- lections of his sports photographs. His 1978 Abrams book, Sports, has been hailed by many as the best of its kind ever. His most recent book, The Best ofLeifer, is a collection of more than 40 years of his sports and non-sports pictures and is published by Abbeville Press. In his career, Leifer has traveled the world on sports assignments. He has photographed 15 Olympic games (seven winter and eight summer), four World Soccer Cups, 15 Ken- tucky Derbies, countless World Se- ries gams, the first 10 Superbowls and every important heavyweight ti- tle fight since Floyd Patterson beat In- gemar Johansson to regain the title in 1960. He has photographed his favorite subject, Muhammad Ali, on 60 dif- ferent occasions, during fights, and in more than 20 photo sessions. In addition to photographing both team and individual sporting events and celebrities, from Jack Nicklaus. to Secretariat, Leifer has also been commissioned to photograph on lo- cation from Africa to the Oval Of- fice and for the military from indi- vidual soldiers to airplanes in for- mation and battleships at sea. While Leifer now devotes most of his time to producing and directing films, there is a good chance he can still be found ringside, camera in hand, at any big heavyweight bout. "It is the. one sport I still love shooting," he said. 7A I . a wE HRLP40U CCEtSRATE sMPeA DATES 1. &I I Family of surfers celebrates end of summer Another generation of Dennison surfers, this time the girls, finish the summer season by catching the last wave.

Local tennis player named MG Tennis Star MG Tennis First Star Tournament player Calum "Cal" Rusyniak, 10, has made great progress under the guid- ance of the instructors at Lake Cane Tennis Center Junior Academy. His story with tennis began with his parents meeting at Entrance E, Centre Court at Winbledon, where his mother Jenny was acting steward during the tennis championship. Her assignment there was part of her job with the Roy- al Air Force. Cal's father Torone and his friends are deaf, and Jenny knew sign language so she was asked to assist the group in get- ting seats to see the tennis tournament for a fortnight. On the last day of the event, she worked up the courage to ask him for a date and the rest is history. From a very young age, Cal showed great skills with Swingball, a United Kingdom game with a tennis ball tied to a string that is attached to a metal pole in the ground. A player hits the ball around the pole, and at age 3, Cal's parents signed him up for tennis lessons. Always showing great potential, Cal was a finalist and even won in several tournaments he entered in the UK start- ing at age 6. Since moving to Florida last year, his parents say that the biggest improvement in Cal's game has come from working with Vincent Michaud at his Junior Academy at Lake Cane Tennis Center. This summer, Cal trained for four hours a day, three days a week with the Academy group. He was the winner of the Beat the Heat Rookie Tournament and a finalist in the Junior Back to School Challenge for his age division. Coach Michaud said he picked Cal as the MG,Tennis Star Tournament Play- er because of his heart and dedication to training and the sport. He congratulated the young player - on his achievements.

The former Lakeview High football coach and athletic di- rector is a candidate for the University of Florida All-Century football team, which is being voted on by the public. Heckman in running for Gator All-Century team The public has the power to help a local resident achieve Gator football immortality. Former Lakeview High football coach and longtime West Orange County resident Vel Heckman is be- ing considered for a spot on the Uni- versity of Florida's All-Century foot- ball team. In commemorating 100 years of Gator football, the university will pre- sent its All-Century team at its Nov. 18 home game. Fans can vote online for the top UF football players of all time at each position by logging onto www.gatorzone.com and searching S for "All-Century team." Heckman is among 23 candidates vying for four of- fensive lineman positions on the hon- orary team. Ballots can also be obtained in per- son at participating Publix grocery stores. Heckman started on the Florida of- fensive line during the 1956-58 foot- ball seasons. His senior year, Heckman was named an All-American at tack- le and the Southeastern Conference's lineman of the year. In 1962, Heckman settled in Win- ter Garden and became Lakeview High's head football coach and athletic director. He led Lakeview to a 58-49- 6 record during his 13-year tenure. Heckman continues to live in West Orange County with his wife, Frances, with whom he has five chil- dren and seven grandchildren. Ocoee softball wins 5th straight The Lady Knight varsity slow- pitch softball team defeated Olympia 4-2 last week to pick up its fifth consecutive victory. Lauren Smoley pitched for the win and con- tributed on offense. Miranda Isbell, Mandi Fraleigh, Ashley Hindes, Devin Crabb and Brittany Spencer picked up hits and walks in key sit- nations. The Ocoee junior varsity foot- ball team defeated visiting Colonial 25-22 last Thursday by racking up 296 yards of total offense. Donte Florence and James Owens scored two touchdowns apiece for the Knights. Florence reached the end zone on an 80-yard kickoff return and a 61- yard reception. Owens had a 58-yard reception and a 14-yard TD run. The Knight freshman football team improved to 2-1 last week with a 21-8 victory over Colonial. Clarence Randle scored two touch- downs and D.J. Gary added another. Josh Daniels and Saeed English an- chored the defense. The Ocoee varsity girls cross- country team took seventh place out of 20 teams at the USF meet in Tam- pa last weekend. Alyssa Burkert fin- ished second overall, followed by Lutrisha Altidor (14th) and Sonnie Rennison (41st). Shannon Jelonek and Kristen Smith each set person- al-best times. The Knights varsity boys cross- country team placed ninth overall at the USF meet. Jeffrey Wood set a school freshmen record with his per- formance. The Ocoee varsity boys bowling team defeated Olympia 2367-1970 last week with Andy Shilling rolled 223 and Shane Williams bowled 218 to help lead Ocoee to a game record 895. The Lady Knight varsity girls bowling team fell to Olympia 1999- 1660 last week. Jenny Carnell led Ocoee with a 366 score. The Ocoee varsity boys golf team defeated Edgewater 164-167 last week with top performances by Joe Morrison (35), Zach Moore (37) and Tyler Stribling (43). Morrison's mark set a school record. The Knights also defeated Freedom 179- 204 with Morrison and Moore each shooting 39. Ashley Dorsey had a team-high 43 in the varsity girls golf team's 156-184 loss to Edgewater. Local teams feasted on non-district opponents in high school football ac- tion last Friday night. Ocoee and Olympia both rallied for huge road vic- tories, while West Orange rolled in its Homecoming game. Dr. Phillips, com- ing off a bye week, hosts Oak Ridge this Friday. Ocoee Clutch defensive play and a 99-yard game-winning drive propelled Ocoee to a 15-10 victory at previously unbeaten Colonial last week. The Knights im- proved to 4-1 on the season. Despite having not allowed Colonial an offensive touchdown, Ocoee still trailed 10-9 in the fourth quarter. The Knight defense went on to kill Colo- nial's final three drives with timely in- terceptions, including 2 by senior Mark Whitaker. The most crucial interception was made by senior Micah Cantlow, who saved a touchdown by picking off Colo- nial just one yard short of the end zone. Senior quarterback Kingsley Bar- coney and his Knights took over at their own 1-yard line and proceeded to march the length of the field. Ocoee mixed nearly 30 rushing yards with comple- tions by Barconey of 15, 24, 25 and 8 yards to come within reach of the goal line. Ocoee took the lead for good with a 3-yard touchdown pass from Barconey to senior David Johnston. More than half of Barconey's 253 passing yards came in the fourth quar- ter. Facing a 10-3 deficit while backed up against his own end zone, Barconey sparked the Ocoee rally with a 90-yard touchdown pass to senior Miguel Gilmore. Barconey also led Ocoee in rushing with 62 yards. Gilmore ran for 22 yards and racked up 150 yards re- ceiving. Senior linebacker David Buckles and junior lineman Kenneth Martin helped lead the Ocoee defense with 10 tackles apiece. Junior Tymiller Newton added 9 tackles and 1 sack, followed by se- nior Jamal Agound (9 tackles) and sophomore Maurice Couch (7 tackles, 1 sack). Whitaker and junior Logan Warr tallied 7 tackles each. Colonial's lone touchdown of the game came on an interception return in the second quarter. The Knights will play on the road again this Friday when they take on Olympia at 7:30 p.m. West Orange The Warriors had their offense and defense clicking on all cylinders last Friday night when they clobbered Free- dom 35-14 on the newly unveiled arti- ficial turf at Raymond Screws Field. Newly crowned Homecoming King Anthony Johnson reigned on the field with 4 touchdowns, including a 75-yard run and a 61-yard reception early in the game. The senior amassed a school- record 301 rushing yards on only 17 carries. Quarterback Joe Burkhalter finished with 127 yards on 6-for-8 passing. Tail- back Dale Jones added an 8-yard touch- down run in the second quarter. Three lost fumbles in the first half were the only things to slow down West Orange's assault. West Orange linebackers and line- men spent much of the evening in the Freedom backfield delivering vicious hits to multiple Patriot quarterbacks. The Warriors racked up 6 sacks and 10 tackles for losses. Among the many defensive stand- outs were Cornelius Taylor (13 tack- les), Erik Fleming (12 tackles, 1 sack), Kyle Watters (12 tackles, 1 INT), Nathan Keller (11 tackles, 1 sack), Kyle Morrison (9 tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble), James Pender (8 tackles), An- tonio Johnson (7 tackles) and Gary Roach (6 tackles, 1.sack). Freshman Emory Harp made an im- pact with a blocked extra-point attempt, 4 tackles (3 for losses) and 2 sacks, in- cluding a hit that knocked Freedom's starting quarterback out of the game. West Orange (3-2) hosts a game with playoff implications this Friday when the Warriors take on district power East Ridge at 7:30 p.m. Olympia The Titans (2-3) put together their best game of the season in defeating host Cypress Creek 35-20 last Friday night. After falling behind 14-13, Olympia quickly turned things around following a lucky bounce. Poised to score a po- tential touchdown, quarterback Rodney Dorsett coughed up the ball at the goal line, but senior Titan receiver Robert Padilla came up with the ball in the end zone. "Our kids played hard and our of- fensive line wore down the defense in the second half to get us the win," said Titan Head Coach Bob Head. Fueled by 266 rushing yards on 38 carries, Olympia went on to score 22 unanswered points for the final margin. Dorsett led the attack by running for 111 yards and 1 TD on 13 carries, plus throwing for 51 yards on 6-for-7 pass- ing. Tailback E.J. Carter followed with 53 yards on 7 attempts, while Adam Dry carried the ball 10 times for 40 yards and a touchdown. Cam Martin added a short-yardage touchdown run. Andrew Floyd put Olympia on the board by blocking a punt and returning it 25 yards for a touchdown within the game's first two minutes. Joseph Precht (12 tackles) and Sean Westphal (9 tackles, 3 for losses) an- chored the Titan defense. Michael Math- is and Kurtis Palata added 7 tackles apiece, while Cornelius Sterling had 6 tackles and 1 sack. The Titans return for Homecoming this Friday when they host Ocoee at 7:30 p.m. Ocoee High senior David Johnson stretches to catch the game-win- ning touchdown pass from quarterback Kingsley Barconey in the Knights' 15-10 victory over Colonial last Friday night. DP's Adham and Wright nominated for Wendy's High School Heisman Dr. Phillips High School seniors Katherine Adham and Tanner Wright received nominations last week for the Wendy's High School Heisman Award. The honor celebrates the achieve- ments of the nation's top high school seniors both in and out of the class- room. Adham and Wright were nom- inated for their academic aptitude, ath- letic talent and commitment to their school and community. Adham is a captain of the DP var- sity swim and dive team. She is con- sidered one of the top divers in the state and recently took first place at the Lake Brantley Invitational. She carries a 4.5 grade-point average and is a member of DP's CIS magnet pro- gram. She is active in her church youth group and volunteers at Sand Lake Hospital. Wright is a returning captain of the Panther varsity boys volleyball team and is rated one of the state's top play- ers. He also has a 4.5 GPA and vol- unteers with his church youth group and on campus with the Dr. Phillips girls volleyball team. The Wendy's High School Heis- man program consists of five phases: nomination, state finalists, state win- ners, national finalists and national winners. Entries are initially evaluat- ed by ACT Assessment during the state finalist and state winner phases and passed onto a distinguished pan- el of judges.

Three DPHS music students enjoy a day of 'star treatment' Three students from the Visual and Performing Arts Magnet Program at Dr. Phillips High School lived the life of their dreams as music stars when they received a day of celebrity treat; ment and attended the Shakira and Wyclef Jean concert at the TD Wa- terhouse Centre. The magic day for Maria Garcia, Cat Lynch and Marissa Toogood, who are voice students, began when they were picked up from school in a stretch limo. VIP treatment included a recording session and photo shoot at CRUSH Studios and then a meet- and-greet with worldwide music sen- sations Shakira and Wyclef Jean. The students watched the stars' con- cert from VIP seats beside the stage and were then whisked home in the limo. The activities were sponsored by Verizon Wireless, which is also pre- senting Shakira's national tour. "We were very happy to reward these aspiring stars and give them an up-close look at the vast success of another talented, hard-working young performer," said Mike Lanman, Flori- da region president for Verizon Wire- less. "We hope the experience served as a great source of inspiration for their showbiz dreams and their lives in gen-' eral." i m /i DPHS students Maria Garcia, Marissa Toogood and Cat Lynch (from left) pose in front of the Verizon Wireless V CAST Performances bus at the TD Waterhouse Centre before the Shakira and Wyclef Jean concert.

Homecoming comes home On Sept. 16 the Ocoee High Stu- dent Government Association start- ed a new tradition. The SGA bought Homecoming home. With the theme of "A Knight in Paradise," the Home- coming Dance was held on the school campus. Students were greeted by stilt walkers, who placed leis around their necks. Upon entry, students had to limbo their way into the court- yard of the school, where a live band (The Untouchables) played. During the band's breaks, students sang karaoke and viewed a perfor- mance by senior Kurt Gunter and his band, the Long Ride Home. The courtyard was decorated with tropical flowers, hula skirts, tiki torches and giant parrots. The gym was transformed into Club Par- adise, complete with deejay, lights and a nine-by-12-foot video screen. Students were treated to chicken wings, snacks, sodas and cheese- cake. SAC update The School Advisory Council at Ocoee High has been meeting in reg- ular sessions this year in an endeavor to agree on and implement a mean- ingful School Improvement Plan for 2006-07. This process is an Orange Coun- ty Public Schools initiative and calls on the SAC committee to play a ma- jor role in developing a plan for the school which will meet both the school's goals and the district ex- pectations. Superintendent Ronald Blocker has set high district expectations for all schools. OHS has taken the chal- lenge and gone beyond those high expectations to set a goal for the ,school of "ac2ab." This means Ocoee received a school grade of C for last year but plans on becoming a B school this year. The SAC committee understands this to be an enormous undertaking but has great confidence in the lead- ership, teachers and students. Students attended a rally on the first day of school, and each one re- ceived a free T-shirt with the words "I am a Knight" on the front, along with the letters ac2ab. Banners hang throughout the school, also. It is a commitment of the staff and students to achieve this lofty goal, driven by a School Improvement Plan that focuses on academic support and success.

As her accusers dispersed one by one, leaving her alone with Je- sus, He gently asked, "Where are your accusers, has no man condemned you?" She answered, "No man, Lord." Jesus replied. "Neither do I condemn you. Go now and sin no more." We may find many people who will quickly ac- cuse us and often we accuse ourselves, as well. The following truth brings great hope. In John 3:16-17 it says, "For God so loved you and me (the world) that He gave Jesus (His only begot- ten Son) that if you, I, whoever, believes in Je- sus, we will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son (Jesus) into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through Him, might be saved."

Jesus came to rescue us! Just as He met with the adul- terous woman, just the two of them, He comes to each of us. Just as He kindly, in love, offered her forgiveness, so He offers it to you and I. Her re- sponse allowed Jesus to forgive her sin, unite her with God, the Father, and make her com- pletely new. What was her response? She called Jesus Lord. In that one word she stated, "Jesus, I believe, I believe that You are God in the flesh; I believe that You are the promised Messiah. I believe that You created me and I now surrender my life to your control. That was her response to Jesus Christ. What's yours?
