Bookstore to begin new chapter Writer’s Block Bookstore is relocating to a new space along Park Avenue.

TIM FREED ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Winter Park’s downtown bookstore is ready to turn to a new page.

Plans are underway for Writer’s Block Bookstore to relocate from its location at 124 E. Welbourne Ave. to a highly visible space along Park Avenue.

The store hopes to attract more bookworms at its new location at 316 N. Park Ave., where The Impeccable Pig currently sits today.

The move is a dream come true for owner Lauren Zimmerman, who opened her bookstore on Welbourne Avenue in September 2014 and always wanted to have a location along the main stretch in downtown Winter Park.

“I am over-the-moon excited,” Zimmerman said. “When I opened the bookstore five years ago, I knew the rents were very high on Park Avenue and that we really needed to be on the Avenue. … We were always on the lookout

to buy a building.

“I was hesitant when I found out about the building, because making the commitment was hard enough,” she said. “Making a commitment to a building on Park Avenue is crazy. I walked down there hoping that I would not like it, hoping that the decision would be made for me. I walked in, and it had these beautiful concrete floors, white walls, high ceilings, and I walk all the way to the back, and there’s this gorgeous covered patio with these wide-open French doors. … I said to myself, ‘Oh no, I’m in trouble, because I like it a lot.’”

The new location also means more space, going from 1,200 square feet in the old store to about 1,700 square feet. It’ll be a more a flexible space as well, Zimmerman said, because the shelving will be on wheels so it can be moved around to make room for author events such as signings and readings.

“I’m going to New York and meeting with all of the top five

“It’s going to be Pinterest-worthy. I’m thinking of it through the eyes of a designer. When people come in, their impression is going to be that this is a beautiful space.”

— Lauren Zimmerman

publishing houses — (Penguin) Random House, Hachette, Macmillian, (HarperCollins), all of them — and we’re sitting down and we’re going to go through it and talk about the new space and try to get them to send me big authors for events for the new store,” Zimmerman said. “It’s going to be crystal clear in the new space that the space is designed to house events.”

Zimmerman added the new location will include a coffee bar, a wine bar, a children’s treehouse play area and plenty of places to sit and curl up with a good book — all coming together in a design that will have a modern, colorful flair.

“It’s going to be Pinterestworthy,” Zimmerman said. “I’m thinking of it through the eyes of a designer. When people come in, their impression is going to be that this is a beautiful space.”

It’s all about giving patrons a unique bookstore experience — one that keeps them coming back to find their next book instead of shopping online, Zimmerman said.

“You can’t get the community and you can’t get that literary experience sitting there punching a few keys — that’s not what the total experience is supposed to be,” she said. “You’re supposed to be sitting here staring at the shelves for hours, pulling a book out, reading the backside of it or just having a conversa-

tion in a bookstore about what’s a great book. Bookstores are just different. They’re like pieces of heaven.”

Zimmerman said the bookstore will celebrate the grand opening of its new location in late September or early October.

Writer’s Block Bookstore owner Lauren Zimmerman can’t wait to open her new location.

IF YOU GO

There’s no celebration quite like the Kentucky Derby, which often sees men and women donning their most extravagant hats and headwear and enjoying a day of competition and cheer.

And even though Winter Park is more than 800 miles from Churchill Downs, residents have a chance to join in the Derby Day fun.

On Saturday, May 4, Derby on Park will make its triumphant return to the University Club of Winter Park.

Anthony DiNova, owner of Winter Park Events, said he had the idea for Derby on Park years ago, when looking at the pricey options for enjoying the Kentucky Derby race.

“The idea was to create a high-end experience for an affordable price for people who didn’t want to spend three grand at Churchill Downs … it’s a lot of money,” DiNova said.

The annual event will have guests donning their fanciest hats and enjoying food, drinks and the Kentucky Derby race.

As is custom, there will be no gambling.

Derby on Park is expected to draw in about 300 attendees, a number DiNova believes reflects the event’s more intimate feel.

Although the event had been held at the Winter Park Country Club in the past, in recent years, it has moved to the University Club of Winter Park.

“In our seventh year, we keep it a niche, small-knit event of around 300 people, give or take,” he said. “We don’t want it to be a huge crowd but want to provide a really good experience for the people there. … (There’s) unlimited drinks, unlimited food. There’s no cap on it … we don’t want to upcharge you on a $50 ticket to an event and have to pay for everything else while you’re there.”

Fifteen food and drink vendors

DERBY ON PARK 2019 WHEN: 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 4 WHERE: University Club of Winter Park, 841 N. Park Ave., Winter Park COST: Tickets start at $85, $100 at the door TICKETS: bit.ly/2WgkQ04

will be present at the function, as well as six sponsors including Mercedes-Benz, which will be selling one of its cars.

Merritt and his BeBest Events company partnered with DiVona for the Derby event in 2017.

He has since taken on more a hands-on role as operations manager as DiNova has transitioned to focusing on real estate.

Merritt said he has made sure the University Club will have proper tents and shading to keep people comfortable in the cool.

“It’s not easy; it’s a lot of work because you have to create a great experience for attendees, for the vendors … and you have to create a great experience for the sponsors,” Merritt said. “My job is to provide the wow effect for all three of those groups so they come to that event … and it’s all about the hats. People love the hats.”

As usual, Derby on Park will host a competition for best Hat, best Dressed Man and Best Dressed Couple, which will have $1,000 in cash and prizes for the first- and second-place winner.

In past competitions, judges and local celebrities have chosen the winners; this year’s champions will again be chosen by the crowd.

“This is a great example for people to get together, enjoy themselves … dance, create new friendships,” DiNova said.

“We have a pretty decent crowd; that’s my favorite aspect. I like seeing people meet and become friends.”

Everything’s better with (Exploding) Bacon

Observer “If we are to build a better world, we must remember that the guiding principle is this — a policy of freedom for the individual is the only truly progressive policy.”

n the outer reaches of the galaxy, one robot has a single mission: carefully load cargo onto a space ship while navigating the unpredictable terrain of a distant planet.

The device is efficient and completes its task before the ship takes off — but this isn’t another planet. It’s the building space for 4-H Exploding Bacon Robotics off Forsyth Road.

Local high-schoolers watch as their robot, Ham Solo — controlled with an off-brand Xbox controller — deposits orange “cargo” dodge balls into a tiered wooden tower to represent the spaceship.

The team’s robot building season just ended, but there’s still plenty of work to do — spreading a passion for STEM and robot building.

The Winter Park-based 4-H Exploding Bacon Robotics Team 1902 won big on the international stage last month when it captured the Championship Chairman’s Award at the 2019 FIRST Robotics World Championship event in Houston, Texas.

The pre-college robotics team of about 40 students was chosen from a field of 43 teams, who all qualified to compete for the award by winning the Regional Chairman’s Award at events around the world.

The Championship Chairman’s Award each year is given to the team that has the most significant, measurable impact on the world — inspiring young people to appreciate and pursue careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.

Exploding Bacon earning the prestigious award also means they

Exploding Bacon’s most recent robot, Ham Solo, competed in an international competition in Houston, Texas, last month.

will be inducted into the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Hall of Fame — a group of 28 teams from Canada, Australia and a number of U.S. states that have won the award since its inception in 1992.

It’s an accolade that recognizes Exploding Bacon’s efforts to support other robot-building teams in their community and grow an interest in STEM among youth.

Although the team competes in robot competitions, it’s about more than just building the most efficient robot, Seminole High School senior Ruhi Lankalapalli said.

Exploding Bacon is proud to be named to the FIRST Robotics Hall

of Fame, which recognizes community outreach, Lankalapalli said.

“It’s a group of teams that are considered role-model teams in the FIRST community, and teams that are there for any assistance and serve to be role models for good outreach culture,” Lankalapalli said.

The team promotes STEM through a number of different avenues, including Spark Science Kits — boxes of simple building supplies that that are sent to foreign countries around the world to inspire students with fewer resources.

There is also the #FIRSTLikeAGirl outreach program, which empowers young women to

be more confident to participate in STEM activities and careers.

The goal of the nonprofit organization FIRST always has been to promote STEM to K-12 students and inspire them to learn more about science and technology. For Lake Highland Prep student Matthew Poteshman, joining Exploding Bacon has done just that.

“It’s definitely helped me cement that I want to go into the STEM field as a career,” Poteshman said. “I came to this team wondering how the heck this type of robot worked. … I was curious about how it works, and now — not only do I understand — I get the opportunity to build a robot every year. I get to do it with a bunch of people who not only are trying to learn but are also doing their best to teach everybody around them.

It’s definitely a supportive environment, and it’s really awesome to be a part of it.”

The team also has helped form close friendships, Circle Christian School student Alexis Udowychenko said.

“I’ve made so many friends though robotics, and I’ll meet other people at competitions too that I’ll become friends with,” Udowychenko said. “Overall, everybody here is so nice. … It’s really fun.”

“It’s definitely not a stretch to say we’re really a family,” Poteshman said.

City forms task force for old library CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

jorie Thomas — plans to meet every two weeks to discuss potential uses for the property before making a recommendation to the Winter Park City Commission.

The first meeting gave the task force members an idea of what they could recommend for the property at 460 E. New England Ave. — a major piece of land that welcomes locals driving westbound down Fairbanks Avenue into the city.

Budget & Management Division Director Peter Moore said some of the options the city has heard include selling the property, leasing the property, converting it to park space, selling the property and dedicating the funds to park space, creating more parking for the downtown area, relocating city hall to the property, or developing a nonprofit cluster of different arts and culture uses, among other suggestions.

Winter Park City Manager Randy Knight, who made a short introduction at the beginning of the meeting, said everything is an option.

“We truly are seeking your opinion on what’s best for this community,” Knight said. “Clearly, this is not about making the most money off this property. This is not about

intensifying the use of this property. This is about how to best utilize this property for the community.

Anything is on the table — there are no preconceived notions of what will happen with this property. There are no backroom deals cut with any entity in the city to acquire this property. This is a blank slate.

“Whether it’s use it for a city function, use it for a community purpose, sell it, lease it or make it a park, everything’s on the table,” he said.

Task force members shared some of their initial thoughts and began asking city staff for more information about what could be built on the property, who has inquired about the site and when they can tour the building.

“I want to be very sensitive to the neighborhood (because) I’m a part of the neighborhood,” Thomas said. “I think that you have Rollins College across the street, you have the Alfond hotel next door and you have residential. … A business innovation center I think would be a natural (fit) — an incubator.”

“I think everybody wants to also protect the charm and the character of Winter Park,” de Arcos said.

“When you’re heading towards Park (Avenue) from that direction, you come hard around that

turn, and you just hit this wall of congestion and that big building right there. We could just usefully soften that up and bring you gently into Park Avenue versus slamming you into that wall of commercial buildings that’s very sparsely landscaped and you’ve got your stop lights. I think that would be an ancillary benefit, especially for the neighbors.”

Residents observing the meeting had a chance to provide input.

Ted Stoner suggested Winter Park consider using the building as a way to observe nature.

“I feel like we’re missing an inherent element and asset of Winter Park, which is the chain of lakes, which is nature,” Stoner said. “How can we build a bridge to nature from our experience in the historic district of Interlachen and Park Avenue? At the library, you can see both lakes (Osceola and Virginia) at the same time.

Whatever you build, could you put an event center on top to see both lakes at the same time? It’s so extraordinary; it’s just unexpected.”

Meanwhile, Jill Bendick suggested the city consider keeping the library property as a library, giving the new Winter Park Canopy project a secondary library branch.

“This city uses that library so

much,” Bendick said. “The other thing that it would do in a simple way is it would build a consensus between the people who are very enthusiastic about the new space and the people who are doubting the value and function of the new space.”

One suggestion continued to come up: The city should not sell the property.

“If we sell off everything we own, which we’ve pretty much done, what’s left for the next generations?” Carol Rosenfelt said.

“We don’t have any more land, and I feel like if the city doesn’t need the money, which we don’t, there’s no reason to sell off our assets that we’re not going to be buying back in the future. They won’t be for sale.”

The task force’s next meeting is set for noon Wednesday, May 8, in the Winter Park City Commission Chambers.

According to Winter Park Director of Communications Clarissa Howard, the task force will sunset and terminate Aug. 31, unless terminated earlier or extended by majority vote of the City Commission.

Moore suggested the task force come up with a report halfway through the process to present to the City Commission.

Maitland Chamber relocates to new digs

lation — Hall suspected it was built at a time when air conditioning wasn’t a consideration. It ultimately became a situation that was too costly to continue.

“It’s an older house,” he said. “It doesn’t really serve the needs of the chamber, and unfortunately, the condition of the property wasn’t a priority in the past. It was kind of draining us to maintain this home that wasn’t really serving us, anyway … we could have continued to pay the (bills) but the building was antiquated and not what we wanted to represent us as a chamber of commerce.”

The chamber planned for the big move to their new office, located at 500 N. Maitland Ave., late last year.

Unlike some municipalities that have foregone a physical location for their chambers, Hall believes having people present in the community is more attractive to interested businesses, especially considering the downtown area’s recent expansion.

The chamber is planning on outsourcing its community events like its holiday parties and Coffee Connections meet-ups to take place at the New Hope For Kids building.

“Having an office that is more representative of our progressive community that’s attracting new businesses … it will be a more business-like image for the chamber,” Hall said.

Scott Hall remembers one long Saturday a few years ago, when he and a handful of other members of the Maitland Chamber of Commerce worked to touch up the chamber building. The plan was to repaint the office’s wood exterior, giving it a more fresh and vibrant look.

But there was a problem the group quickly discovered — some of that wood had started to rot and decay.

“We were there with saws and sawing off the paneling and nailing up new paneling,” he said. “Cutting up the old building and putting new pieces of wood on it just so it could last a couple more years.”

It’s a fond memory for Hall, current president of the chamber, but not an activity that he or other chamber members will have to repeat anytime soon.

After more than 40 years at its current location, the chamber is moving to a new home, and Hall couldn’t be more excited.

It’s no surprise the chamber’s current building has some battle scars.

The building has been a Maitland staple since the early 1970s.

“There’s a lot of history there; it’s been passed around by word of mouth,” Hall said.

Hall said the chamber’s current office originally was a model home that became available in the late ‘60s and was provided to the chamber by the city of Maitland for a lower price.

In the years since, the building has endured wear and tear by the passing of time and by the elements themselves.

Beyond that, the structure lacks insu-

Strength training at any age can help improve muscle mass and bone density Allison Olcsvay Three years ago, the client was facing the same prognosis that she has watched her mother suffer with for de-cades. The progressive osteopenia would someday develop into osteoporosis, bringing on devastating broken bones and pain.

“My mother is 93 now, and I’ve watched her suffer so much; I just don’t want that to happen to me,” she said.

Medication to strengthen her bones never produced significant results, and after years of taking them, she decided to try a new course of action.

Following the recommendation of a friend she signed on with Elite Strength and Fitness of Winter Park and began following a twice-weekly strengthtraining regimen designed to increase her muscle mass and bone density.

At her next DEXA scan to measure density, the client's doctor noticed a big change and she was able to stop taking her medication.

Success stories like hers don’t come easy though; it took months of intense workouts with the guidance of personal trainers to get there.

At 64, Les Rinehart, one of Elite’s train-ers, knows the challenges his clients face.

After 33 years in the fitness industry, the former strength coach for the Charlotte Hornets retired in 2007, only to come out

of retirement a few years ago to join Elite because, he said, he saw the value in what they offered their clients.

“The equipment here is top of the line and the techniques produce results like no other,” Rinehart said.

At Elite, education is as important as the equipment. Before clients spend anytime working out, they share their medical history, goals and concerns with trainers who develop a plan that covers time inside and outside of the gym.

“Clients’ needs are evaluated and we give them a detailed analysis of what they need to do, especially at home, to accomplish their goals,” said owner Monte Mitchell.

Homework might include keeping food and exercise journals to learn more about their habits, especially if weight loss is a goal.

The gym also offers a 12-week group nutrition workshop to their members, guaranteeing results for their clients, provided they follow all the recommendations made during their consultation.

70-year-old physician Dr. Maria Bors has been a client of Elite for seven years and finds that training there fits quite nicely into her busy lifestyle.

“The 20-minute workouts are easy for me to fit in and I find them easy to commit to,” Bors said.

Rather than working out with sweaty, bulked-up gym rats, Elite’s clients find an almost Zen-like atmosphere, with trainers attentive to their every motion.

Speaking in tones of calm assurance, trainers offer equal parts encouragement and challenge, pushing clients to new levels.

The workouts are physically demanding, but not in the way one might expect.

Motions are slow and intensely controlled, demanding maximum effort from muscles while barely breaking a sweat.

“Many clients don’t even change out of office clothes,” Rinehart said. “They simply don’t need to.”

Before beginning with Elite, Bors suffered from daily back pain, but after just a few months in the gym, she experienced a noticeable change in pain levels and now rarely suffers at all.

“It’s been remarkable for me,” she said. “I can feel how strong I am, especially when I am traveling carrying luggage. I have a strength I never had before.”

“The strength training is very good for preventing bone loss,” said Bors, “which is something we all need as we age.”

Love is the best investment Audrey Hepburn fans can celebrate the actress’ most famous fashion statements at “Tea At Tiffany’s — A Champagne Brunch with Audrey Hepburn” Saturday, May 11, at the Woman’s Club of Winter Park.

HARRY SAYER BLACK TIE REPORTER

M

ost people are at least slightly familiar with the career and fashion of movie star Audrey Hepburn, who captured hearts and minds in the mid- to late-20th century.

Dr. Ryan Frazier isn’t most people. The costume designer of more than 40 years is deeply acquainted with Hepburn’s fashion sensibilities — she said she has watched her movies hundreds of times throughout her life.

“Audrey Hepburn is one of, if not the, most iconic actresses of our time,” she said. “I’m stunned at how she translates through all the generations, no matter how old or how young, everyone loves Audrey and wants to emulate her style.”

Frazier, with the help of Fashion Historian and Florida Fashion Theatre Associate Producer Bonnie Hansen, will display that authentic fashion attire with their “Tea At Tiffany’s — A Champagne Brunch with Audrey Hepburn” Saturday, May 11, at the Woman’s Club of Winter Park. Guests will enjoy an interactive fashion show with models sporting authentic recreations of Hepburn’s iconic clothing followed by a theatrical choreography from one of her movies.

“It’s going to combine fashion and music and dance and a little bit of theater,” Frazier said. “I’m very proud of this and am so excited to share this with you.”

ENDURING IMAGE

Frazier spent decades working on costumes and design for some of Hollywood’s biggest movies, including the first Star Trek movies with her godfather Gene Roddenberry and more. After leaving the movie studio, she lived in Switzerland and attempted to retire to Florida but soon grew bored.

Hepburn fashion IF YOU GO WHEN: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“My best friend was telling me, ‘You’ve got to get back to work,’” Frazier said. “She asked me a profound question: ‘If you could design for anyone in the world, living or dead, who would it be?’

And I said, ‘Aubrey Hepburn, duh.’ And that’s what sparked my imagination, how I would go about doing it.”

Frazier’s Audrey Hepburn line was shown at a fashion show before being presented with a perfume line last year. It inspired Frazier to do more in the Orlando community, and she joined up with Hansen, a Winter Park resident and owner of Vintage Nouveau Fashions from the Past, to create May’s brunch event more than a year ago.

“I think it’s going to be the talk of the town,” Hansen said. “You can see Audreys everywhere.

She’s an enduring image all the world over.”

The show has authentic reproductions from four iconic films of Hepburn’s career: The little black dress from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” the ball gown from “Sabrina,” and the vespa ride from “Roman Holiday” all will be worn by models followed by a live choreography performance of the wedding gown dance from “Funny Face.”

Clips from each film will be played to prime the audience and show the accuracy of the recreations. The models also will have authentic jewelry and accessories — such as Hepburn’s iconic pearl necklace — some of which is provided by an Audrey Hepburn organization.

“Tea at Tiffany’s” also will have some assistance from the Central Florida arts community. Theresa Smith-Levin, chief executive director of Central Florida Vocal Arts, will sing “Moon River” by Hepburn, and dance instructor and choreographer Billy Bowser will do a step-for-step Fred Astaire choreography for the

“(Audrey Hepburn) is the one who gave us the term, ‘Little Black Dress,’ and I can’t imagine there’s a woman in Orlando who doesn’t have a little black dress in her closet. It’s been 60 years now, and we’re still talking about ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s.’”

— Dr. Ryan Frazier

THE PROCESS

Dr. Ryan Frazier and Bonnie Hansen have worked hard to recreate Audrey Hepburn’s fashion.

“Funny Face” production.

Putting the show together has taken more than a year, Frazier said. She put most of her time into scriptwriting and directing.

Frazier believes the key to Hepburn’s enduring popularity is an elegant, less-is-more approach that appeals to people of all walks of life. She said a woman can simply pull her hair back, put on sunglasses, a big hat and a little black

dress and be ready to go.

“She is the one who gave us the term, ‘Little Black Dress,’ and I can’t imagine there’s a woman in Orlando who doesn’t have a little black dress in her closet,” she said.

“It’s been 60 years now, and we’re still talking about ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s.’”

A portion of the event’s ticket sales will benefit Central Florida Vocal Arts.

There’s an extensive process bringing Hepburn’s iconic looks to life — and it all starts with a pencil and piece of paper.

“I put the movie on and I freeze-frame it, then I actually draw the dress,” Frazier said. “I have 40 years of costume design, so I actually draft the pattern then I choose the fabric. … I call (connections in L.A.) and say, ‘Hey, do we have the fabric? Do we know where we got it?’ And I can backtrack. Sometimes, I can get the original fabric.”

She said she watches each movie three times — first for visual effect to get an idea, second for content to see why people care about the design and third to see how the dress hangs on the body.

From there, Frazier sends the design and fabric to her salon in Switzerland to actually put the piece together fit to specifications. Depending on the complexity of the clothing, it can take five days to six weeks for a piece to be completed. At times, she has returned dresses to her salon because she feels it hasn’t completely captured the authenticity of the original designs.

This part is important — Frazier believes there are few craftspeople who can compare to the Swiss.

“Much of the gowns back then were done by hand … they didn’t have the machinery,” Frazier said.

“To get the look, you have to do a lot by hand. I find the Swiss workmanship is the best in the world. … If I look at it and believe it’s Audrey Hepburn’s dress, I say it’s good to go.”

Maitland shop to host tour stop for new comic HARRY SAYER

IF YOU GO

BLACK TIE REPORTER

1601 Lee Road, Winter Park

(407) 644-2676

THE CREATORS Nicholas Aflleje — Writer Sarah DeLaine — Artist Ashley Lanni-Hoye — Colors Adam Wollet — Letters

The duo recruited fellow Jackonsville residents Ashley Lanni-Hoye and Adam Wollett to color and letter the book.

Rather than having gross-out imagery or jump scares, DeLaine and Aflleje worked together to give the book a sense of creeping tension that draws the reader in. As the book’s two main characters are preteens, Aflleje ran all of the dialogue past his young nieces to make sure it sounded authentic.

“These girls are just doing their best in this scary thing they’re trying to figure out,” DeLaine said of the characters. “It’s that dichotomy that has all this creepy stuff happening they aren’t aware of but we see. … (As an artist) I would sit there and get my head in the moment to feel how the characters will feel and how the reader will feel.”

DeLaine and Affleje said they chose to visit BAMF comics for its engagement with its community.

Sarah DeLaine didn’t get into comics and graphic novels until well after her childhood.

It’s something she somewhat regrets — but she’s making up for it now.

DeLaine and Nicholas Aflleje are making their way to BAMF Comics & Collectibles in Maitland Monday, May 6, to promote their new original graphic novel, “Little Girls,” as part of a 12-stop book tour across the county.

What’s more, Monday’s stop will have a special music show with bands Vivian K and Body Heat, which have been hand-picked to play at BAMF by Aflleje.

DeLaine, the book’s artist, describes the book as creative time travel — creating something for the 12-year-old version of herself who could have enjoyed the book if she had been reading comics. She said she’s excited to put on a fun event to promote their story.

“We wanted it to be a welcoming scene, a welcoming scene where you can check out comics, mingle and meet people where it’s open and fun,” DeLaine said.

DeLaine has a fondness for drawing detailed imagery of animals, wilderness and other earthly creations.

However, she admits her artwork often seems haunted or spooky.

“I’ll start drawing a pretty thing, and it will end up being creepier than I mean it to be,” DeLaine said. “(Aflleje) kept all that in mind when he wrote the script; it worked out pretty well.”
