+ Ocoee resident celebrates 100th

WEST ORANGE — Although Lake Apopka has improved since its worst point decades ago, the process has been gradual, with local advocates such as Friends of Lake Apopka leading efforts to restore the

largest body of water in Orange County for its important ecological and anthropological benefits. But a Japanese designer, Santoshi Anzai, has created a technology that could expe-

dite that process, through a simple process that diffuses bubbles into seabeds and lake bottoms, which adds oxygen to help restore aquatic life. His staff has already met to discuss how the technology

Winter Garden resident Kevin Root has been in intensive care since a March 8 collision on Tiny Road. WINTER GARDEN — At about 1 p.m. March 8, Kevin Root, a 32-year-old resident of Independence, was driving near the back entrance of his neighborhood on Tiny Road. The speed limit is between 35 and 40 mph on that undulating road, said neighbor Todd Wind, who was driving in the opposite direction at the time. “I was coming home with groceries, and a few neighbors were, as well,” Wind said. “The car directly behind me had come out to cross double-yellow (lines) and pass all the cars, I believe four or five in total.” That driver, 18-year-old

Ocoee resident Alyce Carothers turned 100 and celebrated her birthday at Frank’s Place in Ocoee. She has visited Frank’s every Monday night for the past five years. She attributes her longevity to good wine every night with dinner and her special martinis at Frank’s. The restaurant provided wings, appetizers and champagne to celebrate Carothers’ birthday and installed a ramp for her to be on the top deck with her friends and family.

WINTER GARDEN — The Cypress Reserve development in southwest Winter Garden took another step toward starting construction April 9, when the City Commission approved its plat for phase one. Taylor Morrison, developer of several communities in the Orlando area and throughout Florida, plans to build 86 single-family lots on this former Mathews Grove property. It is located on SunRidge Boulevard, east of Avalon Road and west of Siplin Road.

The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval. The only question came from Commissioner Kent Makin, who asked how close the homes in lots 31-34 will be situated on the street. He thought the planned curve in the road at that point might create some safety issues if the homes were built too close to the road. Community Development Director Ed Williams answered that the plan called for

farewell by Amy Quesinberry Rhode | Community Editor

Ocoee police sergeant retires Randy Conyers has spent three decades of service with the Ocoee Police Department. OCOEE — When Randy Conyers was thinking about a possible career path, he didn’t have to look far for inspiration. He chose to become a law-enforcement officer, just like his grandfather, Jack Clark, who was chief of police in the city of Winter Garden from 1964-66. Conyers, who retired last week following 30 years of service to the Ocoee Police Department, said he tried to emulate Clark’s sense of fairness and honesty. “He has always been my inspiration,” Conyers said. “He taught me about God, honesty and service. Everyone knew him and knew he was an honest and fair man. I tried to model myself after him. It didn’t matter if I was arresting someone, caring for an injured person, consoling someone in a tragedy or teaching kids; my goal was always to treat them

with respect.” Conyers was a reserve officer with the Winter Garden Police Department and intended to have a long career in his hometown, following in his grandfather’s footsteps, but there were no positions available. When the Ocoee department advertised for a dispatcher, Conyers took the job. Six months later, in April 1985, he was hired as a police officer; promotions to corporal and sergeant came in 1988 and 1997. He said one of his biggest accomplishments is the implementation of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program at Ocoee schools in 1989. The international substance-abuse prevention education program teaches students good decision-making skills. Conyers initially raised $6,000 from local businesses for the first year of D.A.R.E. and

was able to have it placed as a line item in the budget. He was also the first officer in Orange County to teach the program at the middle-school level. “This year is the 25th anniversary of actually teaching the program in the schools,” he said. “It has continued on and is in the budget every year. No telling how many children’s lives it has affected. I know I have received many wonderful personal notes from prior students about what I meant to them. … It was heart warming to hear and see these notes. I had no idea I had that kind of effect on those kids.” In 1995, he established the Cardinal Patrol, a youth crime watch program, at Ocoee Middle School. Student members reported to school administrators if they witnessed issues such as truancy, fights and thefts.

He was the first supervisor of the Traffic Unit and Professional Standards and was a long-time public information officer for the agency. In his 30 years with the Ocoee Police Department, Conyers’ responsibilities were many. He oversaw, directed and conducted forfeiture, internal affairs, background, criminal and lie-detector investigations. He conducted and supervised traffic homicide investigations. He established the SAFER Driver Program that is taught citywide and was the lead driving instructor for the department. He assisted in obtaining a three-year Community Oriented Policing Services Grant and helped the department receive other grants totaling more than $757,000. He was the emergency management

liaison between the city of Ocoee and surrounding agencies, was a Crisis Intervention Team coordinator and was past secretary of the Ocoee Pension Board. For the last few years, he has been a private-security instructor at Mid-Florida Technical Institute and an adjunct professor at Valencia College, both in Orlando. He has also served as a member of the football coaching staffs at Ocoee and Celebration high schools. He has been the liaison to the Ocoee PD chaplains, and he is a member of Winter Garden Elks Lodge 2165, where he has been the recipient of multiple recognition awards. Conyers might be retiring from the Ocoee Police Department, but that doesn’t mean he’s giving up work completely. He has accepted a position

He is also going to be a first-time grandfather in about a month, and he intends to keep busy in that new role, too. “Spending time with my wife, children and extended family is always at the top of my list,” he said.

Last year’s mission trip took Amanda Kraus to remote African villages of Malawi. She did landscaping and worked with AIDS orphans.

Worldwide Reach Amanda Kraus, 13, is heading to Ireland this summer with Teen Missions International to work on a landscaping and building project and participate in neighborhood ministry. OCOEE — Thirteenyear-old Amanda Kraus will be traveling out of the country for a second consecutive summer with Teen Missions International. Last year, in Africa, she planted mango tree seedlings at the TMI base and made bracelets and held puppet shows with children at an AIDS orphan rescue unit. This summer, she is spending a month in Dalkey, a suburb of Dublin, Ireland, which might seem like a vacation destination, but Amanda knows otherwise. The teen and her travel companions are going there to build a wood shed and to share the gospel with residents. They will stay at Ireland Outreach, living in tents and using buckets for bathing and doing laundry. Amanda has been part of TMI since she was 7 years old. The youngest team members are called Peanuts, and their first trip is to the mission organization’s Merritt Island base. She was part of a choir team that performed for nursing home residents.

In her second and third years, she was on the Cookie Command team, baking cookies and delivering them to nursing homes. When she

was 11, she worked with the Navajo Indians in Arizona, landscaping a Bible camp and helping with Vacation Bible School. But perhaps her greatest summer so far was her 2014 mission trip to remote African villages in Malawi. She had wanted to go there for several years and said it was a blessing to be able to raise enough money to go. “I liked the outreach part of it, and I liked that I could work with old people and young people,” she said. “And I loved being able to share the gospel with people.” Amanda brought back many stories of the young children who were orphaned after their parents died of AIDS. Many of these children were living with AIDS themselves. She said these survivors are living on their own off their parents’ land, and some are as young as 6 or 7 years old. She hopes to return to Malawi to continue her mission work. Her parents, Brian and Sally Kraus, of Ocoee, have four other children, and three of them have traveled through Teen Missions International. Another is going on

RAISING MONEY The mission trip will cost Amanda Kraus and her family $2,800; she hopes to raise $2,000 of that. To provide funding, donations can be made in her name at teenmissions. org/donate. Amanda also has planned several fundraising events. A Cake & Coffee Social, with homebaked cakes and treats, will be held from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 22, at Clermont Business Connections, 1795 E. S.R. 50, Suite A, Clermont. She will be sharing photos and details about her last mission experience in Africa. For more information, call Jackie Kelly at (352) 874-7049. A Spirit Night was held Wednesday at House Blend Café, in Ocoee, and 10% of the evening’s sales was donated. his first trip this summer.

Inside the relief school decision West Orange residents representing different sides of the relief-school debate shared many points of view with Orange County commissioners last week.

With so many details to the West Orange High School relief school plan the Orange County commissioners passed April 7, there was just not enough space to display some of the passion locals showed for their community at the meeting. Winter Garden elected officials appealed for an agreement and noted traffic and overflow problems they believed Orange County Public Schools officials handled poorly, as well as a suit against Winter Garden. Residents of the West Windermere Rural Settlement presented videos of nature around their neighborhoods that they said would be disturbed by increased development. Parents presented information such as the West Orange High School student population outnumbering beds in the Orange County Jail, children getting soaked during rainy walks from the high school to the ninth-grade center and a parade of students and parents with signs for the 14 schools affected by the decision. Current students talked and wrote about how tired they were of fighting through halls

Taylor Morrison wanted a more costly landscaping on the road and right-of-way than the city would normally provide. The developer agreed to design and pay the cost for landscaping and maintenance on the right-of-way going forward. The homeowners association will take ownership from the developer once the development has achieved between 50 and 60 certificates of occupancy.

Willie Fulmore, owner of the property at 740 W. Ninth St., addressed the commission March 12 about a foul odor he smelled on his property. He expressed surprise that the odor persisted even after the recent completion of the Ninth Street lift project. Fulmore raised

We pump liquid over the outside of the diffuser.” A small factory run by Anzai Kantetsu invented the technology, which is simpler and less expensive than other micro-bubble technologies. Nanobubbles remain in the water for a significant time because they are smaller and too light to rise to the surface, even after the nozzle is removed, and about 90% of the bubbles will osmose — double the rate of some micro-bubble technologies, Humphreys said. “Ours works off the energy of a lightbulb, with just 29 psi,” he said. “We’re working on one that can work on just water power. The other difference is … we can put gas into larger diffuser heads and then increase pickup area of the liquid, which means the viscosity of the liquids we can handle (is) thicker.” For Lake Apopka, Anzai MCS would have a large system firing oxygen into the

The ordinance gives the commission the power to do this, but each time it is used, it must come before the commission for approval, Bollhoefer said.

Moreover, a 2011 experiment at Nippon-maru Memorial Park in Yokohama, Japan, tested the device with propeller-shaped stirrers and a bubble-defusing nozzle. The device fit in a truck and was easy to place in the water without heavy machinery. Three divers installed it 10 meters below the surface within a half-day. Although the top of the water looked clean, the bottom was covered in sludge and showed few signs of aquatic life. “Normally, bubbles rise to

the surface, but most aquatic life is at the bottom,” Santoshi Anzai said. “Nanobubbles shrink on their own and are picked up by currents, which carry them to the seabed, where they mix into the sludge. Nanobubbles can supply oxygen to organisms at the bottom of the sea.” Bubbles usually stay in the system for three to five hours but sometimes can last three months, Humphreys said. Experiments in 2013 at Hakkeijima Sea Paradise near Tokyo Bay in Yokohama also featured a water body with thick sludge at its bottom. Within six months, there were shrimp species near the bottom that could not survive in poor oxygen environments. In January 2014, the experiment ended with drastic changes in aquatic life, including various types of fish and seaweed growths. For Lake Apopka, the pollution from now-extinct farms has largely stopped, which means pumping nanobubbles into the bottom could have a permanent effect and renew the ecosystem. “We introduce more oxy-

gen, introduce other plankton that the fish will eat and then build up the fish in a cycle again,” Humphreys said. “It’s about trying to address the environmental balance naturally without chemicals.” A small, short-term test would last six months, which would prompt a larger twoyear test if successful, Humphreys said. “Over two years, you’d look for the next level change,” he said. “At some point in there, you might feel confident enough that this is working and scale it around what time period may be there or the costs and budget.” Because in-person meetings with local officials have not happened yet, Humphreys was uncertain of those costs for the area. But this much is certain: As climate change worsens and oxygen levels in water bodies are depleted, ecosystems gradually worsen until most aquatic life dies out. With nanobubbles, bodies like Lake Apopka and perhaps even oceans could find new life. Contact Zak Kerr at zkerr@ wotimes.com.

are not enough tickets. There were also plenty of messages simply displayed, such as signs saying, “Build our schools now” and “WOHS relief NOW,” printed on orange shirts worn by many speakers and spectators around the room. Although most expressed support for a relief school of 2,500 students with an on-site athletics stadium, even more expressed the desire for a reso-

Julie Sadler shared a video of morning traffic at the Seidel Road and Beck sites for relief schools. At the Beck site along County Road 535 (Winter Garden-Vineland Road), traffic around 7 a.m. was light, and crosswalks and infrastructure were established, she said. This contrasted with the bendy, narrow roads without established infrastructure near the Seidel site, which were more dangerous than the busier but straighter 535, she said. Sadler noted possible overflow of students to Ocoee and Wekiva high schools, saying that could hurt community morale and property values. She also said tennis court lights near the Beck site were quite bright and no worse than what school lights would be, and that Lake Nona had made a high school work across the street from a farm — not apparent at the Beck site.

She finished by sharing a music video parody of “We Are the World,” featuring future high-school students of West Orange County in “WOHS relief NOW” shirts. Others in support of building at the Beck site included Judy Paulsen, a Windermere resident who said her family had waited 14 years for a high school; Patrick Spikes, a graduate of West Orange who presented a 2,500-signature petition to build at the Beck site now and said six nights of home football games per year should not be a big deal; and student Madelyn Papa.

A CASE FOR SEIDEL

June Cole was one representative of Citizens United for Sensible Growth who spoke during the public hearing. Residents of the West Windermere Rural Settlement have no problem with a high school in their area but want to limit the size and choose the best location for relief now because further relief might not come for 15 years, according to Orange County School Board Chairman Bill Sublette, she said. She sees the Seidel site as a

RUN / PAGE 1A Windermere resident Nicholas Recanati, dangerously sped to the top of a steep hill in excess of 60 mph, a common occurrence Wind thought little of in the moment, he said. “I thought he would pass me and get back over,” Wind said. “But instead, he accelerated even faster up the hill on the wrong side of the road. When he crested the second hill, he hit Kevin’s car and they collided head-on.” Other witnesses described the wreck as fiery and violent. Recanati died from the impact, and Root has been in some sector of the intensive-care unit at Orlando Regional Medical Center ever since. “He had a number of broken bones from his shoulder to his arm, in his ankle and in his leg that they had to reset,” Wind said. “That was a couple surgeries in the beginning. His wife kept saying in his stomach or intestines they had to reconnect something. With all that, there was some infection and some follow-up with those surgeries, so they had to (recommence surgery) a couple times to get that taken care of.” Beyond that, Root could face more surgeries and be in rehab for years, Wind said.

A MIGHTY WIND

Mutual friends connected Wind to Root’s wife, Ligia, who thanked Wind and other bystanders for calling 911 and offering help. But Wind’s help has continued, transforming him from a stranger down the street to a friend and ambassador to the community. He has informed neighbors of the predicament and helped to channel the community’s good will into meaningful fundraisers, including a table at the community’s spring festival. “Everyone in Independence has traveled on that road, most of them multiple times a day,” Wind said. “That could’ve been any of us going over that hill. That’s where I really feel almost compelled to help out. Just because it’s someone I didn’t know at the time doesn’t mean we shouldn’t. It’s just the right thing to do, in my opinion.”

better fit for several reasons. Growth and projections show a need for six lanes on 535, with four on it currently, she said. Traffic between a relief school at the Beck site and Windermere Preparatory School a half-mile away could become problematic during drop-off and pick-up hours. Cole said the West Windermere Rural Settlement should not be the sacrifice while future Orange County rural settlements would be off-limits for future relief school sites. With further relief unlikely for at least a decade, Cole is concerned about the possibility of West Orange High School and the relief school becoming overcrowded before the next school is built. “There has to be a mechanism to get OCPS to build the next high school when this gets close to capacity,” Cole said of the relief plan. Another CUSG representative said courts should resolve this special exception to ensure fighting among all parties would end. She proposed a condition of beginning to build a third high school at the Seidel site as soon as the school at the Beck site reached a student population of 1,900, which she called most important to CUSG. That condition was not part of the proposal the county commissioners passed, in part because Orange County school relief is contingent on a chronological listing process.

Community members have contributed food in addition to funds needed for costly medical bills, through MealTrain. com, a website tailored to situations like the Roots’ where organizers can coordinate meal donations with donors. “You can invite people, write how many people are in the house, what foods they like, what they’re allergic to, when to bring foods, stuff like that,” Wind said. “You can go to a calendar and say, ‘This is what food I’m going to bring.’ We’ve had that for a month now. We had a great response to that. It adds up financially. They really appreciated people would take the time to make or get food at a restaurant and drop it off.” Root’s mother held a fish fry to raise funds, and the community added a 50/50 raffle to the donations from its spring festival and a GoFundMe account, with the raffle winner donating the prize back to Root for a total of about $1,500 in donations toward a $10,000 goal. But the biggest fundraiser is set for April 18, when the community will host a charity run.

TRAIL RUN FOR KEVIN ROOT

The run, which begins at 8 a.m. at the corner of Schoolhouse Pond Road and New Independence Parkway, will include fun apart from the race, such as music, entertainment, raffles and special guests, such as Orange County District 1 Commissioner Scott Boyd and perhaps the Florida Garrison — 501st Legion from Star Wars, said Sandra Acevedo, a lead organizer. “At the end of the race, we have a water bottle and fruit station for the runners, very typical of a 5K,” she said. “At the end at the Independence Clubhouse, we’ll have a bounce house and Philly’s Best will have a food truck selling breakfast foods, with 20% of proceeds going to the Root family.” The race will be about three miles along the community bicycle trail, with expectations for more than 160 runners and all donations going to the Roots, Acevedo said. “We’d absolutely love more,” she said. “Runners are welcome from outside the community.”

SIGNS OF THE TIMES by Michael Eng | Executive Editor

Leaders hope ‘lollipop’ signs sweeten Ocoee Leaders considered a variety of different signage and branding options at the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency April 7 board meeting. OCOEE — To continue with a long-range vision to carve out an identity for their municipality, Community Redevelopment Agency board members discussed a variety of signage and branding options for Ocoee at their meeting April 7. The most notable is a series large, “lollipop”-style signs that spell the city’s name at the Florida’s Turnpike overpass at Maguire Road. The signs will include five 20-foot poles. At the top of each pole will be a 5-foot-diameter circle, each displaying one letter of the city name. The poles will be installed in the middle median on Maguire Road, and the letters will be lit with LEDs and visible from both directions on the turnpike. The letters are the same size as the ones displaying “Orlando” on Interstate 4. CRA Administrator Russ Wagner said the city has been working on purchasing and installing these $44,800 lollipops for four years and finally has found a sign manufacturer — Sign Producers — that is willing to construct and install them. Wagner said liability concerns have slowed the progress of the signs. However, in this design, each of the five poles will be bolted into the concrete, and the signs will be able to withstand 180mph winds. And, because of the walking canopies on both sides of the overpass, even if the signs did fall, they never would fall onto the turnpike itself, Wagner said. “It’s a very simple sign, and it should be very visible to a lot of people driving by,” he said. “This will really get a lot of play for publicity for the city. I think it will be a really positive thing.”

FREE Candle

Before the final installation, Sign Producers will experiment with fake signs on a lift truck to determine the exact height and location that will yield maximum visibility. Ginger Corless, citizen board member and CRA chair, said she welcomes the signs. “I’m excited to finally see something about to start happening,” she said. Wagner said the timeframe for the signs depends on the manufacturing time, but he anticipates about two to three months. With $50,000 earmarked for the lollipop signs, they account for about 40% of the CRA’s $120,000 signage and branding budget. Other items in the budget include updated street signs ($13,350), way-finding signs ($25,000), public-art projects ($15,000) and a series of about 18 temporary FiftyWest business district signs ($19,650). CRA board member and Ocoee City Commissioner Rosemary Wilsen raised con-

cerns regarding the FiftyWest business district signs, which would be installed at intersections along State Road 50 to promote Ocoee businesses while the road is under construction. “They don’t really appeal to me,” Wilsen said. “I think with all the construction going on on (S.R.) 50, I don’t really even want to think about these kinds of signs until 50 is done. I don’t see the value, quite frankly.” A public-art project in the Mills 50 area in Orlando inspired the CRA to devise a similar program for Ocoee. In Mills 50, local artists were invited to paint the traffic-signal boxes at major intersections. “It’s because of the marketing they did; I can’t emphasize this enough,” Wagner said of Mills 50’s success. “You have to market your area to create this image of a place.” Because Ocoee’s traffic-signal boxes along S.R. 50 will be moved during construction, the Ocoee CRA is hoping

• The Ocoee City Commission approved a change in the fees charged for city police and fire personnel responding to false alarms. Previously, residents were charged $35 for the fourth response to a false alarm, $75 for a fifth and $150 for sixth and subsequent responses. Under the new fine schedule, residents are subject to a flat $100 fine for the fourth and any subsequent false alarm. Additionally, false-alarm violations now will be reviewed by the city’s Violations Hearing Board. • The commission approved an ordinance that decreases Ocoee’s road impact fees by an average of 25%. The ordinance does not amend other impact fees, including those for police, fire and recreation. • Commissioners approved the preliminary and final site plans for McCormick Reserve, a new 134-home community on about 45 acres on the southwest corner of McCormick and North Clarke roads. The developer, Ryan Homes, will offer homes starting at 1,500 square feet in the mid$200,000s.

BIKE BANDITS 16000 block of West Colonial Drive. Theft. At about 10 a.m., an officer met a complainant at a recreational vehicle dealership where unknown suspects stole two vehicles. The complainant observed an opened crate and ordered an inventory on units stored outside that morning. Two vehicles were missing from shipping crates since sometime after Saturday afternoon, worth $14,239. Business cameras did not face the area of the crates.

to launch a similar program using large, water-filled barrels as blank canvases for local artists, organizations and schools. The barrels will cost $300 each. “The idea (for the art barrels) infuses color, activity; it shows the community is interested in art,” Wagner said. “It includes citizens and students who would be involved in the project to paint these. … It’s another way to add, enliven and activate what’s going on in the area.” The CRA approved the use of signage funding for all projects except the FiftyWest business signs. The CRA approved spending funds to fabricate four of those business signs for review at a later date. Contact Michael Eng at meng@wotimes.com.

500 block of West Henschen Avenue. Theft. An officer met a complainant around 8:05 p.m. about a theft that had just occurred. The complainant said a neighbor had stolen her shovel and hoe from her yard after the complainant refused to give her money and asked her to leave. The neighbor became belligerent and then left with the tools. The officer met the suspect at her residence, where she was uncooperative and said she had never asked for money. The officer told both that the suspect would be trespassed from the complainant’s property if she went there again. The complainant declined to prosecute for the theft of the tools.

80 PROOF, 80 MPH Clarke and Silver Star roads. Drunken Driving. An officer stopped a car traveling about 80 mph around 1:02 a.m. The driver flipped off the officer out his window while they stopped at a red light. A bystander stopped in the next lane and gestured to the officer that the

suspect had been drinking alcohol. When approached with a ticket for speeding 30 mph over the limit, the suspect said he had no license, but the officer learned it was suspended as of April 2011. The suspect said the date was March 14 and the time was 2:11 when it was 1:19, but he said he had not been drinking, despite reeking of alcohol and struggling to speak. He gave only the number and city of his address when asked and said he did not know his age. He refused sobriety tests and was arrested on drunken driving and driving without a license charges. The officer found an 80-proof vodka bottle in the car. He slept for the entire transport to the DUI test center, where he called the officer several varied racial slurs and threatened to slash the officer’s tires. He made many threats to the officer, including, “I will [expletive] your [expletive] sideways.” The suspect incorrectly blew into a breath tester many times, but a partial breath reading was 0.240 BAC.

ROBBING THE RED CROSS 10000 block of West Colonial Drive. Theft. An officer reported to a gas station around 6:25 p.m. An employee said a customer had asked for an item from the convenience store cooler. While she got the item, a male suspect took the American Red Cross donation container, according to the customer, who said the suspect has grabbed a 12pack of beer before leaving. The employee did not see the incident but did recall seeing the suspect as the customer had described. The employee said she would try to follow up with video footage. The donation container held about $8 in change.

SPOTLIGHT by Amy Quesinberry Rhode | Community Editor

Stories beyond the headstones As Van Morrison says, “It’s a marvelous night for a moon dance, with the stars up above in your eyes.” It was also a marvelous night for a historical tour of Greenwood Cemetery on April 3, with a full moon, a good pair of walking shoes and a host with enough knowledge and humor to both educate and entertain us. Don Price, cemetery sexton, has been giving these monthly tours of the Orlando cemetery AMY since 2004. QUESINBERRY The event RHODE started as a thank-you to volunteers who pitched in to clean up the cemetery after four hurricanes pounded the state in a sixweek period. He said they were asking if the people buried in Greenwood were the same ones whose names grace the streets of downtown Orlando — names such as Bumby, Gore and Robinson. “So, I figured I’d do a tour to tell stories about the families to help folks make the connection of the namesakes of streets, lakes, buildings, etc., in Orlando,” Price said. He invited me recently to walk around a graveyard in the dark, and although I’m not afraid of ghosts or the walking dead, I was a little hesitant to say yes. He does a fantastic job, though, of keeping things light by sharing witty epitaphs and throwing out lots of puns. He also really knows his Orlando history, having worked in the cemetery’s archives for 28 years. Throughout the two-hour, one-and-one-half-mile walk, he casually tells the stories — no script here. He points out which of President Thomas Jefferson’s grandchildren is buried there and who lies at the highest point in Orlando. He explains the city’s connection to Shakespeare and how the term “magic” came here long before the professional basketball team or Disney theme parks. Participants can see the final resting place of July Perry (a prosperous black Ocoee businessman who was killed in a 1920 race riot that broke out after he attempted to vote), find out which part of the cemetery has the headstones turned the wrong way, learn why there are multiple cemetery entrances and discover which member of the Pounds family lies there. Price, who lives in Winter Garden, shares interesting facts about the cemetery’s notable resident, such as dairyman T.G. Lee, Mayor Bob Carr, embalmer and undertaker Carey Hand, Principal William R. Boone, pharmacist Maynard Evans and hardware store owner Joseph Bumby. One of the most fascinating stories is the one surrounding the mausoleum of Fred S. Weeks, a northerner who bought land locally around 1905 but discovered it was swampy and worthless.

SHOW OF SUPPORT C

lose to $90,000 was raised at last weekend’s Dr. Phillips Relay For Life, held April 11 and 12 at Chain of Lakes Middle School. Eighty-nine survivors were celebrated, and 300 luminarias recognized or remembered friends and family who fought or are fighting cancer. The top individual fundraiser for the annual American Cancer Society overnight event was Jeanne Meyer, representing Lockheed Martin, who brought in $11,091. The top student fundraiser was Will Nash, of the Dr. Phillips High School Business Academy, who collected $2,513. Survivors were treated to dinner provided by Lockheed Martin. Food was donated by Aramark, Sonny’s BBQ, Olive Garden and Sweet by Holly.

De Vine Soul and Medieval Times entertained the crowd. The guest speaker was the Rev. Jennifer Stiles Williams, co-lead pastor at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church and a cancer survivor. “To reach the joy of the rainbow, I must endure the rain,” she said. Nick Mason, a senior at Dr. Phillips High, hosted the luminaria ceremony, which moved indoors because of the rain. Speakers were Moushami Robinson, Olympian and DPHS teacher; and Chris Supra, father of Ian Supra, a student-athlete who has been battling cancer. This year’s theme was “Kicking the App out of Cancer.” Forty-four teams and 673 people from Dr. Philips, Millenia and International Drive participated.

Don Price is the sexton of Greenwood Cemetery. He leads moonlight tours once a month.

RHODE / PAGE 9A The angered man erected a headstone at the entrance to the cemetery (which was also a public park) and carved the names of the swindlers (who also happened to be attorneys), along with a Bible quote that mentions thieves. Not liking the negative

publicity, they returned his money, and the headstone was removed; however, Weeks bought 15 cemetery plots and built a mausoleum — and again included the Bible quote and the attorneys’ names. (These names were later removed.) Up paths and down hills we trekked, covering roughly 20

of the cemetery’s 120 acres. The next tours are at 8 p.m. May 1 and June 5. Price suggests you register early: These tickets are a hot commodity and go fast. In the meantime, check out his tweets of nottoo-well-known history facts about Orlando on Twitter: @ orlandocemetery. When you do score a ticket, take some cash. The tour is free, but the cemetery selects one charity to speak for a few minutes and collect donations. A couple bucks, some history, a little exercise and fresh air — not a bad way to spend a Friday night.

Globe nomination and an Independent Spirit Award nomination. Collaborating once again with “School of Rock” director Richard Linklater, Black starred as a small-town funeral director who strikes up an unlikely friendship with a wealthy widow (Shirley MacLaine) in small-town Texas. In 2016, Black will reprise his role as “Po” for the third installment of DreamWorks Animation’s “Kung Fu Panda” franchise.

+ Jack Black to speak at Montverde Actor, comedian and producer Jack Black will be the honorary keynote speaker of commencement exercises for the Montverde Academy Graduating Class of 2015. MVA’s 2015 ceremony will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 23, inside Montverde Academy’s Roberts Gymnasium, 17235 Seventh St., Montverde. Tickets to this event will be made available for seniors and their families only. Black recently starred in the critically acclaimed independent film “Bernie,” which earned him a Golden

Second-grader Samantha Quinones was excited to meet Olympian Rowdy Gaines.

+ Ocoee Middle to host Spirit Night The Ocoee Middle School PTSA has planned a Spirit Night from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday, April 17, at Let’s Skate, 14207 W. Colonial Drive, Winter Garden. For every paid skater who mentions OMS at the door, the PTSA receives $1 back. The PTSA will be giving away T-shirts to the first 30 people who mention OMS at the door. This event will not be supervised (chaperoned) by Ocoee Middle School, so parent should consider this when deciding whether to accompany their children or drop them off.

+ Olympian visits Whispering Oak Rowdy Gaines, a three-time Olympic gold medalist in swimming, spoke recently to second-, third- and fourth-graders at Whispering Oak Elementary. Gaines shared stories about his career during the Olympics and his journey that got him there. He also spoke to the students about water safety.

FEED ME, SEYMOUR!

Windermere Preparatory School will present “Little Shop of Horrors” April 17 and 18.

WINDERMERE — The students at Windermere Preparatory School are in their final days of rehearsals for this weekend’s dark but funny musical “Little Shop of Horrors,” which hits the Garden Theatre stage at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, April 17 and 18. Alex Schwartz and Samantha Roberts are starring in the lead roles, as Seymour and Audrey. Director Jason King is playing Mr. Mushnik, the owner of a failing flower shop on Skid Row. This is a throwback role for King, as he played Mushnik 22 years ago as a senior at Mt. Vernon High School. King was hired last July as the school’s first director of fine arts and said he feels blessed and thankful to work with such a creative and talented faculty and staff. “We are working together to grow, develop and promote the fine and performing arts at Windermere Preparatory School,” he said. Cindy Kennaugh is the artistic director. She has taught theater arts and IB French at Windermere Prep for six years. She previous taught, directed and acted in Venezuela, Switzerland and France. She last directed this show 17 years ago. Emily Tousek is the musical director. This is her ninth musical theater production at Windermere

To purchase, call (407) 905-7737, Ext. 3391 Prep. She currently teaches class piano, vocal ensemble and IB music, and she is the director of Wren 5, the high school’s vocal jazz ensemble. It took some work to bring this show to the local stage. King said the directors are utilizing a moving set, a turntable set, special lighting effects and puppets from the touring production. The Audrey II plants and puppets are being provided by Imaginationworks and are “truly impressive,” King said. “Little Shop of Horrors” is one of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows and is also a Broadway and 1986 Hollywood smash musical. It follows the story of a meek floral assistant in a decrepit flower shop who discovers after a total eclipse of the sun that a mysterious plant shows up looking for human blood to gain strength for its plans for world domination.

WEST ORANGE — In the digital age, techies and entrepreneurs are among the throngs who are almost constantly seeking the next big thing. Since its foundation in 2001, a campaign has encouraged people to create and innovate to make the world a better place. That campaign is known as World Creativity and Innovation Week, which began as a simple conversation in Canada that expert Marci Segal initiated and is continuing from Wednesday, April 15, to Tuesday, April 21, this year. That conversation has spread through various means, from social media to in-person events in more than 50 countries around the world, as well as West Orange County. Here, the Florida Film Academy, based in downtown Winter Garden, has strived to follow the mantra of the week in all that its staff and students do, Florida Film Academy Director of Operations Stefanie Esquijarosa said. “Our team decided to lead a campaign which bridges Florida with the world through one of our partners, The RSA,” Esquijarosa said. The Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce has a mission to enrich society through ideas and action, according to its website, TheRSA.org, which fits right in with World Creativity and Innovation Week’s mantra, as well. “Do good, do something different, inspire new thinking and new action, help people feel their potential to make a positive difference” is that mantra, according to wciw.org, the official website of World Creativity and Innovation Week. Other partners that are trying to help Florida Film Academy to spread this idea and foster creativity and innovation this week include: Florida Hospital Winter Garden, Orlando Science Center, Winter Garden Village and the West Orange Times & Observer. “Our 2015 partners have a passion for creativity and innovation and want to unite to help encourage our community to answer the question: What is creativity, and how can even a small change impact my life and those around me?” Esquijarosa said. Around the hashtag #WCIW, social-media users can follow daily updates and get looks at creative challenges they are encouraged to interact with through public comments, both on a worldwide level and here in West Orange County through the pages of each of the partners that highlight some of their daily experienc-

TIPS FROM THE PROS by David Haynes | Contributing Writer

Simple ideas to inspire your creativity

ABOUT THE COLUMNIST

Photographer and cinematographer David Haynes has traveled the world capturing iconic images for organizations such as National Geographic and the BBC. His work can be seen in magazines, newspapers, on book covers and in private collections. Now he’s sharing his skills with us in a new “cut and keep” column on everyday photography.

4

LOSE FOCUS. Switch your lens to manual and then dial it out of focus until you get an effect you like. Here, the sun appears larger because it’s out of focus, the branches in the foreground are almost completely lost — becoming texture in the top part of the image — and only a few leaves are left recognizable and silhouetted.

April 15 to 21 is World Creativity and Innovation week and to celebrate here’s a few simple and fun photography ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

2

TRY BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY. Although you can set your camera to record black and white, the best results come by taking a color image and converting to mono later in post-production using filters or apps. These roiling Florida storm clouds were a good subject for an edgy black and white filter in Lightroom.

1

GET CLOSER. The biggest mistake beginner photographers make is to stay static. The camera is not an anchor — move around, change perspective and get closer. Filling the frame can add real impact to an otherwise ordinary shot. Shoot from as many angles and positions as possible — see what works for you and for your subject.

3

GET ABSTRACT. Parts of subjects, shapes and patterns can make pleasing images — like these fluorescent lights reflected in the paintwork of a new car in a showroom.

6

WITH FEELING. The photo is really just the beginning — adding textures, elements and lighting in post-production allows you to create the mood you want in the final print. If you don’t yet have the skills to do this in Photoshop, then use your cell phone — apps such as DistressedFX and Painteresque are easy to use and less than the price of a coffee.

5

USE THE “WRONG” LENS. A common exercise for shaking your photography up — it helps break you out of habitual approaches to a subject. Portrait shots usually live in the realm of the longer lens — so use a wide angle for a change — the wider the better. Wide angles stretch perspective, so there’s no point trying to create a flattering beauty shot — instead, have fun, act silly and see what you can come up with.

7

167344

PATTERNS AND PERSPECTIVE. There are shapes and patterns everywhere — circles and spirals are especially pleasing to the eye. This glass-sided stairwell in an office building was too good to miss — particularly because at the right angle, the whole structure is reflected in the glass sides themselves.

45 YEARS AGO

Winter Garden firefighters, aided by crews from Pine Hills and Ocoee, spent the early-morning hours fighting the raging fire that destroyed the Winter Garden Lumber Company and heavily damaged the Florida Metal Craft Co. According to Max Millitzer, vice president of the lumber yard, the company plans to rebuild at a location yet to be determined. Melody Anne Schick of Hull Island was judged winner of the Chamber of Commerce sign beautification contest. Her theme is “Sunny Faces — Friendly Places.” There were 21 designs submitted, and all but two were from Lakeview High School students. Bob Macchi, who doesn’t like to have his name mentioned, was prime mover behind this project.

40 YEARS AGO

More than 3,000 Floridians marched in Tallahassee for the Equal Rights Amendments. Attending from this area were Betty Barley, Kathryn Barley, Jo Arnold and Thellie Roper. The West Orange Chamber of Commerce will hold its 1975 banquet at the Contemporary Resort Hotel. Delta Burke, currently serving as Miss Florida, will be mistress of ceremonies, and the Hon. Richard Kelly, U.S. representative from the

Rutledge Bradford, of Windermere, won high honors at the recent recognized annual three-day horse show at the Rocking Horse Ranch in Altoona. Other local participants were Kathleen Greer, Beth Chase, Paige Winters, Virginia Spigener and Rebecca Sharp. From an editorial: We don’t expect Ocoee to succeed in its goal of separating from Orange County, but we certainly don’t blame the Ocoee officials for sounding off. We urge the county officials to hear and try to understand the Ocoee gripes. Many other towns and cities feel the same way. … Both Winter Garden and Apopka have experienced serious problems as a result of inconsiderate treatment and astonishing lack of understanding on the part of the county officials.

25 YEARS AGO

From Editor’s Notebook: Retired Navy Capt. Bill Sims caused a stir in Windermere by installing a sign in front of Town Hall with the message “Navy parking only. All others will be towed away.” Air Force fighter pilot Jess Green and Town Manager Vic Thompson (also an Air Force veteran) threatened to confiscate the illegal sign. Pat Williams, president and general manager of the Orlando Magic and Orlando Sun Rays, attended the meeting of the Winter Garden Rotary Club and discussed the minor league baseball team and the possibility of getting a National League franchise.

Winter Garden Heritage Foundation Apopka, “the large-mouth bass capital of the world.” The Winter Garden Heritage Foundation, which seeks to preserve our heritage and architecture while creating new cultural experiences, is celebrates its third decade with the debut of its History Research and Education Center.

Gloria Storey Youngblood

Gloria Storey Youngblood, 84, of Windermere, passed away peacefully on April 5, 2015. Born on Aug. 7, 1930, in Meansville, Georgia, she graduated in 1948 from Zebulon High. Shortly thereafter, she married her beloved husband, Billy, in 1951 and moved to Winter Garden to begin their new life. She was a longtime member of First United Methodist Church of Winter Garden.

How Chaga Can Help in the Fight Against Cancer: Chaga has long been used in folk medicine due to it’s antibacterial,anti-allergenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. Many recent studies have shown great results in Chaga’s ability to fight off cancerous cells. These aspects are well known in Russia, China and Japan, but in Western “medicine”, knowledge of Chaga and other valuable medicinal mushrooms is not only nearly non-existent, it’s basically shunned by pharmaceutical company led medical “Practitioners”.

four’s a crowd by Steven Ryzewski | Sports Editor

Talent ensures exciting 8A-3 district tourney Top-ranked Titans seem a good bet as district champs, leaving West Orange, Ocoee and Apopka to battle for runner-up slot. Here’s half of what you need to know about Class 8A District 3 and its upcoming district tournament: Olympia is the No. 1 team in the nation, as ranked by at least two reputable polls (USA Today and MaxPreps). Not just the region, not just Florida, not just the Southeastern United States — but the entire nation. It is important to remember as context for the other half of what you need to know, because it means that West Orange, Ocoee and Apopka — three good teams that would

be district championship contenders in most other districts around the state — are, in theory, at least, left to battle for the Class 8A District 3 runner-up slot and its accompanying berth in the FHSAA Class 8A State Playoffs. Which isn’t to say the Titans (21-0, 8-0 in 8A-3) are unbeatable, as evidenced by several close calls that coach Chuck Schall’s veteran club has withstood. But it means baseball fans should be in store for quite a week, starting on April 20 with the No. 4 vs No. 5 game between Ocoee and Evans.

“It’s probably going to be more competitive than it’s ever been,” West Orange coach Jesse Marlo said of the 8A-3 tourney, noting the improvement of Ocoee’s program, in particular. “It’ll be interesting to see how it shakes out. I’m sure it’s going to be some really good baseball.” Marlo’s Warriors (14-9, 4-4 in 8A-3), hosts of the tournament, enter as the No. 3 seed this season, just behind the Blue Darters (18-6, 5-3 in 8A3). Those two programs will

DISTRICT

DOMINANCE Every boys and girls lacrosse district tournament last week that involved an area team was won by an area team, setting the stage for three big-time matchups on Friday in the FHSAA State Playoffs. A busy week of district tournaments in boys and girls lacrosse saw four champions crowned from within the coverage area of the West Orange Times & Observer — an especially important distinction, as lacrosse is one of only a few FHSAA-sanctioned sports where only district champions advance to the state playoffs, as opposed to district champions and runners-up in most others. Here is a look back at the four district tournaments and how the Olympia girls, West Orange boys and Dr. Phillips boys and girls rose to the top.

OLYMPIA GIRLS TAKE CROWN

Finley Cassidy had six

goals as the Olympia Titans defeated the West Orange Warriors 18-8 in the District 13 Girls Lacrosse Championship April 9 at East Ridge High School. The No. 5 Titans (16-2) trailed the No. 20 Warriors (14-6) early in the contest but created distance toward the back end of the first half. Early in the second half, West Orange made its run to cut the lead to 11-7 before Olympia responded with authority and put the contest out of reach. “We knew it was going to be a fight the entire game,” DeLisle said. “I think our goalie made some big saves that kind of was the spark for the defense, which triggered the midfield and went

on to the attack.” The district title is the first piece of hardware for the program under DeLisle’s leadership, with this being the first year at the helm for the Olympia alumna-turnedcoach — but the Titans are not content. “I have my sights set higher for them, and they know that,” DeLisle said. “I think they’re feeding off of that and feeding off of each other.” Olympia will hit the road to take on Tampa Plant at 7 p.m. Friday.

DP BOYS, GIRLS SWEEP

Both the Panthers’ boys and girls teams took home the top spot in their respective district tournaments. For Dr. Phillips’ girls team

Steven Ryzewski

The Dr. Phillips boys lacrosse team will take on West Orange on Friday at 5:30 p.m. Though the Warriors were to host, the unplayable condition of West Orange’s turf field means that the game will be played on the Panthers’ home field ahead of the girls team’s playoff match at 7:30 p.m.

(15-2), Friday’s 15-8 win over Celebration in the District 12 championship capped a five-peat for the program in district play. Led by Elyse Decker’s six goals and three assists, the Panthers have now won 15 of their past 16 contests, entering a matchup with Timber Creek at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Dr. Phillips. On the boys side, after going into halftime of the District 13 Championship against The First Academy tied at 4-4, the Panthers outscored the Royals 6-1 the rest of the way en route to a 10-5 victory and a third district title in four years. “Our defense stepped up,” senior Ian Decker said. “We had a lot of underclassmen

OCOEE — With passion and enthusiasm, new Ocoee football coach Ben Bullock spoke to a room full of parents and players April 6 about his vision for the Knights football program. Bullock, aiming to turn around a program that has gone 9-41 dating back to 2010 with his new set of goals, spoke about placing an emphasis on academics and developing well-rounded athletes, as well as his hopes that a new outlook and energy around campus will bring about a winning season for Ocoee in the fall. Already, the new head coach has struck a chord with some of the Knights’ returning players. Included among those who are impressed with what he has seen so far is Jeremy Vargas, a junior. Bullock has wasted no time diving headfirst into his new role. From the first week that Bullock has been training with the returning players, Vargas said he can tell he is improving and that he is already enjoying the fastpaced atmosphere present in offseason workouts. “The way he’s pushing us this season so far — just from the one week, alone, we had three practices, and after each practice, you could tell it was something different,” Vargas said. “We were all sore, but it was a good sore, because

DANIELLE HERCULES

CLASS 2A DISTRICT 4

WEST ORANGE TEAMS: CFCA, Foundation WHEN: Starts April 20; championship game at 4 p.m. April 23 at Foundation Academy

The boys and girls track teams for Windermere Prep had a strong showing at the Class 1A District 7 meet last week, with junior Danielle Hercules helping to lead the way for the Lakers’ girls squad. Hercules won the triple jump, was the anchor for Windermere Prep’s first-place 4x100-meter relay team and also placed second in the 200 meters and third in the 100 meters. Your last name is pretty cool. Do you like having Hercules for a last name? I originally didn’t — when I was younger, people would always come up to me and say, “Hercules, can you lift a car?” “Hercules, can you lift me up and throw me?” It was always the most annoying thing. … Now, it’s fun because all the coaches call me “Herc,” and all my friends refer to me as Hercules, and it’s just really fun. You won a district championship as an individual and as a part of a relay team — what’s that mean to you? It was really fun. I didn’t think I was going to win triple jump because I hadn’t done it in a few years. It was really fun to go out there and win. When did you find out that you were going to do the triple jump at districts, and how did you go about preparing to do an event you had not done for so long? I found out about a week ahead of time that I was going to triple jump for district. In terms of training, my coach, Sharrod Williams, was actually a triple jumper — so it helps that he knew how to approach it and how to make it not seem as complicated as it seems to most people. How much do you enjoy being a part of the 4x100-meter relay team? It’s probably my favorite part of track because we go out there, and everyone is like, “Oh, you just have to stand there and get the handoff,” and it’s not even remotely that simple. We have to do steps and we have to make sure we’re doing the right thing. We have to be in tune with each other. Playing soccer and running track, which do you like better? My preference is definitely track. I played soccer as a kid, and it was always one of my favorite sports to go out and play for fun, but I definitely prefer track.

CLASS 3A DISTRICT 6

WEST ORANGE TEAM: Windermere Prep WHEN: Starts April 21; championship game at 7 p.m. April 24 at The First Academy (Orlando)

How are you preparing for the regional meet? For triple jump, I’m going to try and jump four feet farther, so I can make it to state. For running, we’re going to work on fixing the first part and the last part of my races — because I don’t have a fast start (off the blocks), and I don’t really have a good finish, but I’m good with the middle.

CLASS 8A DISTRICT 3

Steven Ryzewski

The winner of the district semifinal between CFCA and Foundation Academy April 20 will advance to the FHSAA Class 2A State Playoffs.

Windermere Prep has had some notable success in several sports this year — which is your favorite to support? I like watching all of them. … I watched basketball, I watched football — but I think my favorite would be lacrosse.

Lions, Eagles to meet with playoff berth on the line The two programs, which split their regular-season meetings, will meet April 20 at Foundation Academy in the semifinals of the Class 2A District 4 Tournament.

What’s your favorite subject in school? Probably math. Or art. Those two are kind of different. Do you enjoy the contrast between them and the parts of your brain that they utilize? I think it’s fun to have a contradiction. If not, then you’re always just on one side and you can’t really look at things from both sides.

The baseball teams for Foundation Academy and Central Florida Christian Academy have played twice already this season, splitting the regular-season series. The two district rivals, sitting just 10 miles apart in Winter Garden and Ocoee, will play a third time in 2015 — this time, with everything on the line. The Lions (6-10, 3-3 in 2A-4) will host the Eagles (8-15, 3-3 in 2A-4) in the No. 2 vs No. 3 semifinal of the Class 2A District 4 tourney at 4:30 p.m. April 20. The winner advances to the district championship on April 23, again at Foundation and secures a berth in the FHSAA Class 2A State Playoffs — making for a true winner-takes-all affair. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” CFCA coach Larry Oldham said. “Foundation is a very good team; they’re a classy coaching staff and school. It’s always fun to play against them in big games like this.” Foundation took the first matchup, a 5-2 win at the school’s Winter Garden campus, with CFCA scoring an extra-innings victory when the teams met in Ocoee. Both

Given your interest in math and art, what do you think you would like to study in college? Interior design. What’s your average day like once the final school bell sounds? English homework, math homework — just homework in every class, really. I try to put aside three hours after school (for athletic training). From 3 to 6 p.m., I’m at track. What’s the last movie you saw in theater? I think it was “The Wedding Ringer” with Kevin Hart. I thought it was hilarious. What are you looking forward to the most about summer? So much sleep. I love to sleep in; I don’t like mornings. So I’m excited to not have to wake up before noon.

teams swept The First Academy-Leesburg, the district’s No. 4 seed, and were swept by top-seeded Trinity Christian. Both teams are also young — the Lions do not have any seniors on their roster — and have struggled as the season has progressed. “It’s big because we’re lacking in maturity in the game, and we’re trying to learn how to compete,” coach Brent Casteel said. “I’m proud of the guys that are here — they’re really

trying to step up and get the job done.” Whichever team emerges victorious Monday not only will gain a playoff berth but also some momentum because both programs are in rebuilding mode around young cores. CFCA, which just two years ago had an imposing pitching staff anchored by four seniors, has lacked an ace in the traditional sense this spring and relied heavily on underclass-

men on the mound. The lack of dominant pitching has led to lots of balls being put in play, and that has exposed the holes in the Eagles’ defense, something Oldham hopes to shore up in time for Monday’s game. However things shakes out, Monday’s game should make for quite an atmosphere as the previous two contests have drawn strong crowds. “We’ll see what happens on Monday — we’ve got a great chance of making this thing happen,” Casteel said. “We’re very excited. … We had a great crowd the first time we played them, so we’re really looking forward to it.” Contact Steven Ryzewski at sryzewski@wotimes.com.

PANTHERS, LAKERS HOPEFUL FOR POSTSEASON The Dr. Phillips Panthers have rattled off three consecutive wins, starting with a victory over Ocoee on April 2, helping the Panthers (1111) gain some momentum heading into the Class 8A District 4 Tournament. Dr. Phillips, the No. 2 seed, will play Cypress Creek at 4 p.m. April 21 in the semifinals and, if victorious, will advance to the state playoffs and likely face No. 1 seed Boone in the district championship April 24.

Despite an up-and-down season, the Panthers have accumulated a 4-2 record in district play and are hopeful for another shot at the Braves, who have handed them both of their district losses. In Class 3A District 6, Windermere Prep (16-4) is looking toward the district championship and beyond, entering next week’s tournament at The First Academy as the No. 1 seed with a 3-0 record in district play. The Lakers will play

Cornerstone Charter, whom they defeated 10-0 earlier this season, in the No. 1 vs No. 4 semifinal to earn a place in the district championship and the Class 3A State Playoffs. There, Windermere Prep will play the winner of the other semifinal between TFA (16-6, 2-1 in 3A-6) and Orangewood Christian (9-12, 1-2 in 3A-6). The Lakers have won nine in a row and are allowing just 2.5 runs per game thanks to a dominant pitching staff, anchored by Austin Bergner.

or two hits away from beating these guys.” To get a third shot at the Titans, the Warriors will have to first defeat the Blue Darters in a winner-takes-all showdown, after splitting two games with Apopka in the regular season. Ocoee (15-9, 3-5 in 8A-3) should have its way with Evans, which is 0-8 in the district, in the 4-5 game before taking on the Titans in the semifinals. While Olympia will, of course, be a heavy favorite in the 1-4 game, the Knights did have a good showing in a 10-inning defeat to the Titans earlier this season and have a strong core of senior leadership to fall back on to make for a more intriguing matchup than meets the eye.

Marlo’s squad, which is younger and not quite as deep as it has been in recent memory, has played better in the past few weeks as highlighted by a strong showing last week in two close losses to Olympia — one of which came in a 10-inning thriller on April 8 in a game that was televised on local cable. “We’ve grown a lot and matured a lot on the baseball field since the beginning,” Marlo said. “(Olympia) just had more timely hits when they needed it, and we didn’t. … (This week) showed us that if we go out there and play our best baseball, we’re one

That was 45 pounds better than the runner-up. Clavier went hard to work afof his athletes, he intends to place an emphasis on teaching the value of making decisions and accepting the consequences.

DR. PHILLIPS — To try to follow a stellar career in football and weightlifting by his older brother, Victor Clavier, Dr. Phillips senior Gio Clavier often found himself being reminded about how good his brother — currently a football player at Southwest Baptist University — was when he was a Panther. “We had Gio’s brother a couple years ago, and Gio was much smaller, very quiet — and not as strong as his brother,” Dr. Phillips football and weightlifting coach Rodney Wells said. “We always said, ‘Gio, hey, you gotta lift like your brother. You gotta play like your brother.’ And he wouldn’t say much, but come into his junior year, we saw Gio getting a lot stronger.” It’s safe to say Clavier has stepped out of his older brother’s shadow after winning the Class 2A District 5 Championship at 199 pounds April 1 to secure his spot at the FHSAA Boys Weightlifting State Championships on Friday at the Kissimmee Civic Center. “I’m very excited at the opportunity,” Clavier said. “It feels awesome. … I feel like if I do this the way I’m supposed

step up on offense, that put balls in the back of the net and really changed the momentum of the game.” As his team celebrated another district title, coach Charlie Battaglini reflected on the run his program has been on over the past few years. “The program has come a long way, and that’s due to the hard work of these kids,” Battaglini said. “They’ve put in work over the offseason — it’s hard to get some of these guys off of the field shooting sometimes.” Dr. Phillips now will take on West Orange in a first-round play-in game, with the contest originally set for 7 p.m. April 17 with the Warriors listed as hosts. Because the playing surface at West Orange is unplayable, though, the game has been moved to Dr. Phillips and will take place ahead of the girls’ game at 5:30 p.m. Despite the unusual circumstance, the matchup of old rivals still promises to be an exciting one. “West Orange is always a very highly emotional game for everybody,” Battaglini said. “It’s pretty much a big rivalry game for us. We’ve played them very close in the past years.”

WEST ORANGE BOYS MAKE IT FOUR-PEAT

163752

The West Orange boys lacrosse program brought home its fourth consecutive District 14 title April 9, beating neighborhood rival Olympia 18-6. The game was played at Ocoee High School — the Warriors had been slated to host the District 14 Tournament this spring, but because of the complications with the synthetic turf playing surface at West Orange, it was moved. Lane Artope had six goals, and Bailey Sarp had three goals to lead the Warriors (12-6) to its four-peat. Goalkeeper Garrett Burns had 14 saves in the final. “It’s pretty special; I wasn’t sure how much it meant to the kids until now,” coach Bill Baker said. “No one on the west side of the county has done this (a four-peat). It’s a testament to the growth that our program has had.”

The Olympia girls lacrosse team cruised into the FHSAA State Playoffs with a 18-8 victory over the Warriors in the district final.

FHSAA LACROSSE STATE PLAYOFFS Here is the schedule for Friday’s First Round PlayIn Games: BOYS Dr. Phillips vs. West Orange (at Dr. Phillips), 5:30 p.m. GIRLS Olympia at Tampa Plant, 7 p.m. Timber Creek at Dr. Phillips, 7:30 p.m. Winners will compete in the second round play-in games at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 21. Despite the margin of victory, West Orange led just 6-3 midway through the second quarter before creating some distance. “It’s just something about

coming out against Olympia in the second half that spurs these boys on — it’s an old rivalry, and it’s one that (Olympia) used to always get the better of,” Baker said. Turner Morris and Steven Gilmour each had two goals for the Titans, whose season came to an end with the District 14 Runner-up finish. The goals by Artope and Sarp, who each came into the game with 70 goals on the season, made the two Warriors the program’s first and second leading scorers in a single-season. Now, the Warriors, like the other local district champions, will get some time off before Friday’s showdown against Dr. Phillips in the state playoffs. “Keeping teenage boys focused — it’s the hardest part of the job,” Baker said. “We’ll focus on fundamentals. That’s the biggest thing we need to do at this point.” Contact Steven Ryzewski at sryzewski@wotimes.com.

LET THE RHYTHM MOVE YOU by Steven Ryzewski | Sports Editor

Power Dance & Fitness in Winter Garden is the only studio in Orange County certified to offer POUND classes — an innovative fusion of cardio and Pilates incorporating good music and drumsticks.

J

ust a few doors down from the library in Winter Garden, a place known for its quiet and reserved setting, a group of a dozen or so gathered on Saturday morning for a scene stark in its contrast. Set to pulsating music, the all-female group of participants navigate a workout routine that fuses cardio and Pilates, among other disciplines, each utilizing her own lightly weighted lime green drumsticks, or Ripstix, throughout. They lunge, they squat, they drum, and they yell; the members of Power Dance & Fitness on Plant Street in Winter Garden are enjoying the perks of being at the only POUND-certified gym in Orange County and one of just two gyms offering the class in Central Florida. “You don’t feel like you’re working out until you’re dying at the end — in a good way,” said Jill Holland, who drives all the way from Clermont to attend classes. “It’s very cathartic; it’s a great stress-reliever to be able to pound to the music. It keeps your energy going.” Power Dance & Fitness has been offering POUND classes since June, when the gym’s owner and lead instructor, Jaimie Roberts, became certified in the innovative new fitness genre. When a friend and former client moved to Tampa and began posting statuses and photos about a POUND class she was taking in that area, it sparked the longtime Disney performer’s interest. “It was driving me nuts because it looked so fun,” Roberts said. “I just blindly went and signed up to get certified. … I had no idea what I was doing.” Once certified, Roberts brought the new class back to her Winter Garden studio, and her clients, who already took her other classes, including High Intensity Interval Training and Power and Dance, gave it a shot. “(It was) completely different from what I thought it was going to be,” said Erica Thayer, a Winter Garden resident. “You don’t think it’s going to be as high-intensity as it is.” Roberts said her members fell in love with the new class and began bringing friends or sharing about it via social media. The way POUND allows participants to get so much done without realizing it — thanks to the fun atmosphere and pulsating music — and its cathartic elements have helped to make it a hit. “That’s one of the factors that they stress in the training — is that it gets it out,” Roberts said. “Especially at the end of the day, if you come to an evening class, you just pound it out — you pound out your frustrations, and you get to hit something and yell.” What’s more, while the classes are intense, they are also suitable for all ages —

on the knees and back, Roberts’ staff at Power Dance & Fitness works to create a sense of fellowship that keeps members coming back for more and, often, attending multiple classes in succession. “We’re all friends here, too, so you don’t feel silly doing it,” Thayer said. “You just let it go. Everybody is very, very welcoming.” For anyone looking for a new, fun and innovative workout — and perhaps even a few new friends — Power Dance & Fitness’ POUND class offers a formidable alternative to more traditional choices. “It’s just different — the 45 minutes goes by, and you don’t realize how many lunges you’re doing or how many squats you’re doing,” Roberts said. “And the music is awesome. … We’re just trying to get the word out that it’s awesome.” Contact Steven Ryzewski at sryzewski@wotimes.com.

Lessons from walking 18 with two of golf’s best You can learn a lot watching professionals on TV or at an event. You can learn even more when you can walk with them, ask questions and watch what they do. I had the unique opportunity to walk 18 holes with two of the world’s elite players, Erik Compton and Rory McIlroy, at the recent Arnold Palmer Invitational. From that experience, I have some lessons I would like to share with you. Being a great person is the first lesson I can pass on from that day — being genuine at all times. Knowing who you JOHN are and HUGHES what your limits are will assist you to play great golf and provide the people around you with a sense of who you are and what you’re about. The second lesson the day provided was purpose. Rory had his lifelong coach with him, assisting him to navigate the course. Rory’s meticulous attention to detail is one of the reasons he is the world’s No. 1-ranked player. Erik was trying to break a streak of missed cuts and had his father, and later on his family, at his side to support him. Although it was a practice round for each player, every shot — each target, each club selection — had purpose. Lesson No. 3 concerns adapting and problem-solving. I was able to ask Rory and Erik about their preparation for The Masters, as well as other items, on and off the course. Each explained how his equipment has changed through the years, how each has changed his routine — both on and off the course — to increase his potential and how he deals with life issues. As is life, golf is a puzzle — a problem-solving journey. Along the way, things change, and you have to be ready to accept and embrace the changes the game hands you. Erik’s is a story of perseverance and determination, something else to be taken away from my encounter. Erik has had to overcome two heart transplants in his short life. So many times, I see golfers give up during a round because things did not go their way — if Erik had given up with that type of attitude, he would not have been one stroke away from winning the U.S. Open a year ago. Determination and commitment to any endeavor is crucial to your success, and it starts with one small accomplishment, so others can follow. Each professional had a team with him. From swing coach to manager to family, I noticed that each showed tremendous trust in the team that surrounded him. The lesson there is to allow some of the people in your life to experience what you do on the golf course. Incorporating some of the lessons I learned walking with two of the world’s best most likely will assist you to improve and enjoy the game more. But more importantly, it will make you a person of genuine quality first — a better golfer second. John Hughes is an award-winning golf coach whose clients include golfers of all skill levels, including major winners on tour. His website and blog, JohnHughesGolf.com, features tips, advice and the programming he offers at West Orange Country Club.
