est Orange High alumnus Ray Forsythe joked that he and his best friend, Keith Little, were supposed to be standing on the sidelines at every football game this season, critiquing Forsythe’s son, Hawke.

It was something the two were looking forward to as Hawke entered his junior season as a guard and tackle. What they didn’t know at the beginning of the year, though, was that they wouldn’t get that chance.

Little, also a West Orange alum, former college football player and coach, died May 6 from a hemorrhagic stroke. He was 40 years old, and left behind his daughter, parents and other relatives.

Town homes could be coming to downtown Winter Garden.

Winter Garden commissioners approved the first reading of an ordinance to rezone to planned unit development 1.15 acres at the southeast corner of West Plant Street and South Park Avenue.

A developer intends to purchase the property and construct 24 town homes. Seven of these will front Plant Street and can be converted into live-work commercial units at which homeowners could use part of the property as space for an office — if approved by the planning and zoning board

Lifetime achievement AMY QUESINBERRY RHODE

Rick Stotler has made numerous major contributions to agriscience education and FFA in Florida: n Outstanding Secondary Vocational Education teacher, 1989-90 n President of the Orange County Agriculture Teachers Association, 1994 n Teacher of the Year West Orange High School, 1995 n Top-five finalist for Teacher of the Year for Orange County Public Schools, 1995 n Board of directors for Orange County Cattleman’s Association, 1998 to current n Outstanding Agriculture Program, FAAE Orange County Public Schools n Agriculture Education Leadership Team, Team 2, 2003-04 n Treasurer of the Florida Angus Association, 2000 and 2012 to current n Assistant Steer Superintendent of the Central Florida Fair, 2000-12 n Steer superintendent of the Central Florida Fair, 2012-13

ichard C. “Rick” Stotler could be considered the pioneer of West Orange County’s large-animal sciences program, having started it in the late 1980s when he discovered students lacked a broad knowledge of the livestock industry.

He has mentored hundreds of students in agriculture through the years and continues to be an advocate for agriculture education even after retiring in 2009 following nearly 39 years of teaching with Orange County Public Schools.

For his decades of dedication to the study of agriculture and FFA, Stotler was inducted into the Florida FFA Hall of Fame on Monday night.

Others inducted at the Florida FFA Leadership Training Center, near Haines City, were John C. Cloran, of Apopka Middle School; Shirley J. Carte; David N. Coile; and the late Orton E. Yearty.

“We are proud to honor these wonderful leaders for their commitment and dedication to the Florida FFA over the years,” said Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Adam H. Putnam.

Amid concerns, Ocoee approves concept for The Park at 429

Rick Stotler has been inducted into the Florida FFA Hall of Fame for his contributions to the animal science program in West Orange County.

STOTLER’S CONTRIBUTIONS

Rick Stotler always has been right at home with his cattle.

started in 2007, pays tribute to individuals who have rendered outstanding service to agriscience education and FFA. LIVING (AND TEACHING) LARGE

With a bachelor’s degree in agriculture and a master’s degree in agriculture education, Stotler set out to teach high-school students about agriscience.

He began at Ocoee Junior High/ Senior High in 1969 and briefly taught at Oak Ridge High before returning to Ocoee in 1977. In 1980, he started his 29-year career at West Orange High.

He changed the face of the area’s FFA program in the late 1980s when he started teaching the animal science program.

“We had been having students (who) showed steers and swine for the Central Florida Fair,” he said. “I felt that they needed to have a broader knowledge about the livestock industry, as citrus groves in the area were going away because of the freezes.

“We started out buying some Angus heifers and having students care for and show them,” he said. “We showed at five major fairs in the state. Students got to go and compete — they learned showmanship, grooming contests and breeding quality animals to compete. They got to learn how to care for (and) feed, selection, health care and breeding by artificial insemination, as well as by natural bull selection.”

The land lab eventually expanded to house up to 10 steers and up to a dozen Angus heifers and bulls, so students who did not have a steer or heifer project still had the opportunity to work with animals in class.

“Not everyone has the space at home to keep a large animal,” Stotler said. “The amount of

work involved in raising and caring for a large animal takes a lot of time, including seven days a week and holidays. The responsibility these students learned is a trait they carry through their lifetime.”

The honoree recalls having his students compete in FFA career development events and having several state winners. He’s proud of the fact that the West Orange FFA chapter was recognized at the National FFA Convention as an outstanding chapter for more than 25 consecutive years.

He has been involved with the Central Florida Fair since the beginning of his teaching career, setting up an exhibit booth and showing animals.

Another highlight was when one of his former students, Cori Griffin Holton, became an agriculture teacher in Lake County.

“Mr. Stotler has played a huge role in my love for agriculture and teaching,” Holton said. “He continues to mentor me as an ag teacher at East Ridge High School. I can honestly say his passion rubbed off on me and I accredit my career success to his continued support and mentorship for the past 20 years of my life.”

Stotler is grateful for his induction and admits that when he first learned of the honor, he didn’t think much of it.

“But as I ran into former agriculture teachers from around the state and students I had taught many years ago and even some of their children, I realized what an honor it is to be included with other great teachers that have preceded me and to now be a part of that group,” he said.

OCOEE Ocoee city commissioners last week approved the annexation and rezoning of the concept layout for a project called The Park at 429.

The light-industrial project, which would be located adjacent to State Road 429 on East Crown Point Road and Palm Drive, intends to make use of 645,000 square feet for five buildings of flex-office space, along with a stormwater system.

Given its proximity to S.R. 429 and the width of surrounding roads, the layout and expected elimination of the tree buffer generated strong concerns about traffic and noise from four locals during the public hearing.

Jennifer Walker believes the removal of the natural sound barrier of trees will increase the noise heard from S.R. 429. However, the Ocoee City Planner Mike Rumer said the 30-foot-tall buildings would take care of the noise issue.

Chris Martinez, a Winter Garden resident, advised the commissioners to reconsider the layout plan and “use common sense” when considering how much the road network can handle. Using pictures, Martinez referred to the average radius needed for an average tractor-trailer to make a turn and asked commissioners to prepare the roads for the potential increase in truck traffic.

Martinez also said the two roads there aren’t designed for the traffic increase generated from the PUD and that the increase will impact Plant Street, East Fullers Cross Road and West Road.

“The (average daily traffic) that was projected for this particular area is going to quadruple from 597 to 2,300 — two roads that aren’t designed for this kind of traffic,” he said. “I’m all for the development; I’m a developer. So you can see the irony of me having to stand here against it.”

The concept plan shows two site entrances on Palm Drive and three on East Crown Point Road, with the northern entrance on East Crown Point Road strictly designated for truck traffic.

Rumer believes residents’ worries are not unreasonable, but they come too early in the planning process, considering the layout approved on Sept. 20 is just a rough outline. The blueprints are not official until the actual preliminary site plan and final site plan have garnered commissioner approval.

“I understand the thoughts and concerns explained (in the meeting),” Rumer said. “We are working with Winter Garden on how (East Crown Point Road) will look.

This development is not going to develop in one year.”

WOHS to honor Keith Little

WEST ORANGE TIMES &

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.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

FALLEN WARRIOR

Forsythe himself suffered a hemorrhagic stroke in February 2015, when he was 42. He spent four months in the hospital recovering, where he had to re-learn how to walk and move his arm again. It took a toll on his six kids and his wife, but Little made a difficult time easier for him.

“Keith was one of the individuals that came to the hospital to visit me and made sure I was focused,” Forsythe said. “(Then) I came home, and Keith would come over and sit with me, talk with me and so forth.”

That’s why Forsythe was shocked at the beginning of this year when he received the phone call that Little had suffered the same stroke.

“It was almost a shocker to get that phone call from a mutual friend of ours who said, ‘Hey, Keith had a stroke,’” he said. “I was in disbelief, I couldn’t believe it.

Roughly two-and-a-half months later they moved him to hospice, and he passed away in May.” The Orlando Pitt Club posted a tribute to Little on Facebook after his passing, adding that he was a loyal Panthers fan, always rooting for his college team.

“Keith was a very upbeat person and always looked to the next year as Pitt’s year,” the post read.

“Unfortunately, Pitt never had that big year (1992-94, the years he played); but, he was a very positive person and fun to be around.”

After his experience with recovering from a stroke and with losing his best friend to one, Forsythe knew he had to do something to help others going through the same thing. Currently, he and his wife are in the process of creating the Ray Forsythe Stroke Foundation. The foundation would help families, especially those of young adults, who are going through similar devastating situations. Although Forsythe had help from the Brooks Rehabilitation hospital, which specializes in strokes, he wanted to become a person that a young family can lean on for support.

“It’s mentally not an easy process, it’s life-changing, it’s family changing, and that’s what I want to do with the rest of my life — to spread awareness for young athletes,” Forsythe said.

Keith Little attended and played football for the University of Pittsburgh in the early ‘90s.

Gabby Baquero, gbaquero@Orange Observer.com Danielle Hendrix, dhendrix@OrangeObserver.com Jennifer Nesslar,

Stone, Hawke and Ray Forsythe were close with Keith Little.

THE BEST OF FRIENDS

Forsythe and Little played football together, first at Lakeview Junior High and then at West Orange.

Little’s father was the basketball coach, so they also played basketball together and even tried their hand at wrestling.

When the two graduated in 1990, Little went off on a fullride scholarship to play as an outside linebacker defenseman for the University of Pittsburgh, while Forsythe played as offensive tackle at Kent State University. The former teammates even became rivals when they played against each other at Pittsburgh in 1992. It’s one of Forsythe’s favorite memories.

“One of the best memories I would say was when KSU played Pitt, where we actually met as college athletes as rivals for the first time in our career, and I got the better half of it,” Forsythe said.

“Pitt beat us that year, because they had Alex Van Pelt. It was a great game between Keith and I. We talked trash to each other all the way into it.”

After graduating from Pitt with a bachelor’s degree in legal studies, economics and Spanish, Little came back to Orlando, becoming a member of the Orlando Pitt Club — part of the Pitt Alumni Association — and also became the assistant linebackers coach at Bethune-Cookman University.

But one thing that never changed was this: Little loved his West Orange Warriors.

Forsythe always remembers Keith in his football uniform for West Orange on the sidelines, the number 80 emblazoned on the back of his jersey. Little loved West Orange so much that he went back to the school to teach.

He started coaching at the school, which Forsythe said was a dream for him. The two always had talked about the coaching on junior and high-school levels, always wanting to get involved with teaching them their positions the right way.

“We would show up every Friday night, and Keith and I would stay on the sidelines and root on our Warriors,” Forsythe said.

“He was always doing some sort of community involvement in regards to making sure the youth knew how to tackle. He was always teaching proper footwork, eating habits and dieting, proper weight training, and later in his life became a sports trainer as well.”

HONORING A ROLE MODEL

Since Little’s passing, Forsythe knew he wanted to do something to honor his friend. He mentioned in passing to West Orange High Athletic Director Adam Miller that not only was Little an athlete and coach at the school, but

also everybody in the community loved him. From there, Forsythe said, Miller took matters into his own hands.

“Adam is the man behind the plan and said, ‘OK, let’s do it behind the biggest game of the year, and we’ll do a recognition, bring his family down on the field and present them an award, we’ll have a moment of silence and we’ll start the game at 7,’” he said. “From there we put together a Facebook page for the classes of ’88 to ’90 and let everybody know about the recognition. So far we have about 57 confirmed that will be in attendance.”

The community recognition will take place Friday, Sept. 30, at the school, when the Warriors take on Apopka’s Blue Darters.

Little’s family and some of his closest friends will walk onto the field together around 6:40 p.m., and an award will be presented to his family on the 50-yard line. “(He was) just an all-around great guy — great classmate, great teammate, great buddy in life, and I could always come to him and vice versa,” Forsythe said.

“We’ll present the award, have a moment of silence and get ready to play football for Keith.”

And while the Warriors take on the Blue Darters, Forsythe will stand on the sidelines as they said they would this season. He’ll sport a special West Orange football shirt, too — with his best friend’s last name and high-school number, 80, printed on the back.

through the special exception process.

n The discussion on golf carts continued. Bollhoefer pointed out several roads in the city, under 25 miles per hour, that could be acceptable for golf cart usage. For neighborhoods near downtown that would have to drive on a road with a speed limit above 25 mph, such as Winter Oaks, Bollhoefer recommended the city create a different path where golf carts could get to downtown safely.

SECURITY BARS

Commissioners approved the first reading of an ordinance to prohibit bars on windows and doors that are visible from streets or public right of ways.

The ordinance pertains to industrial and commercial properties, not residential properties.

The ordinance states all properties that currently have bars that were legally installed will need to remove the bars by Oct. 31, 2021. Bars not in compliance with code will need to be removed

by Oct. 31, 2017.

CITY MANAGER CONTRACT

Commissioners approved a contract for City Manager Mike Bollhoefer. His current contract expires Sept. 24.

The new three-year contract includes Bollhoefer’s base salary as $158,152.18, with Bollhoefer receiving raises that department directors of the city uniformly receive.

But commissioners felt the need to give a larger raise.

“I looked over this, and I also checked into some other areas in Central Florida city managers and their pay and their scale and everything else,” Commissioner Bob Buchanan said. “I’ve looked at what’s gone on in Winter Garden for the last 10, 15 years,

and I remember what Mike went through when we first brought him on.”

Buchanan made a motion for Bollhoefer to receive a 10% raise.

Bollhoefer emphasized he was happy with the pay increase spelled out in the contract, but the motion was approved unanimously by the commission. “(During the) last contract, I brought up the thought that we had a bargain for what we’re paying him and for what he does,” Mayor John Rees said. “I think he does an excellent job.”

patients to get therapy without a physician’s referral.

Generally, even for more common injuries, patients would see a physician who would send them to a specialist, who would then send them to therapy. But this program is meant to provide quicker access for patients who already are aware of what kind of injury they might have, which could save in overall costs of care.

Specht hopes the facility will fulfill the care needs for patients

who would prefer to not travel far for their therapy treatment.

“There really has been kind of a gap in Winter Garden with access to physical therapy, occupational therapy and an outpatient center,” Specht said. “Down toward Health Central and that area, there’s access, but you know, most patients don’t really want to travel more than five miles from their home. … Without this facility, a lot of people would have to drive from five to 10 or 15 miles to get to care.”

The Winter Garden location will be the second Florida Hospital Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation facility in West Orange.

The second is in MetroWest, 1603 S. Hiawassee Road, Suite 105, Orlando.

West Orange patients in need of physical and occupational therapies now have a new option close to home.

Earlier this month, Florida Hospital welcomed its first patients to its new sports medicine and rehabilitation facility at 3131 Daniels Road. After a year of planning and construction, the facility began admitting patients on Sept. 12 and held a community grand opening Tuesday, Sept. 27.

The facility offers physical therapy and occupational therapy for patients with musculoskeletal injuries such as sprains, strains, neck and back pain, tendonitis and recurring injuries.

“Right now, we have 15 clinics throughout the (Central Florida) area, but we just want to able to offer the patients of West Orange and Winter Garden another option to receive physical therapy and occupational therapy (OT),” said Eric Specht, the regional director of outpatient rehab. “We sort of saw the need there. There was a big hole there where there wasn’t a lot of PT and OT services.”

WINTER GARDEN Uninsured and underinsured residents will have to travel only as far as Ninth Street in Winter Garden to seek medical attention when Shepherd’s Hope completes construction on a permanent facility in late 2017.

The city of Winter Garden and the West Orange Healthcare District have collaborated to support the nonprofit organization. The city approved a long-term lease of two acres for the clinic and administrative space, and the district is offering a $1 million match grant to build the facility.

The West Orange Health Alliance has agreed to contribute $500,000 toward the $1 million match in the form of a capital development grant for the new building.

The location, 455 Ninth St., is less than a mile away from Shepherd’s Hope’s original site at Orange Technical College Westside Campus, where it offered an after-hours clinic to underserved residents starting in 1996.

Marni Stahlman, president and CEO of Shepherd’s Hope, said it has been a goal to have a permanent building to continue its mission. Depending on the amount of funding that comes in, the facility

will provide primary and secondary specialty care and could even include a radiology unit.

Swanson said the city had other plans for the property, which is sandwiched between Louis Dreyfus Citrus Inc. and the Winter Garden Community Garden.

“But when I introduced the Shepherd’s Hope and the concept, they were gracious enough to see the value for the community and have bent over backward with us with this land,” Swanson said.

“We are pleased with our partnership and how the mission of Shepherd’s Hope dovetails with our health and wellness initiatives for the community,” Winter Garden City Manager Mike Bollhoefer said.

Preliminary plans call for a redesigned and upgraded community garden with a pavilion,

open lawn, a children’s garden and public art.

HAVING HOPE

Shepherd’s Hope has had many “hope moments” in its 19 years.

“People will come and tell us something they’ve had happen where Shepherd’s Hope has saved their lives,” Stahlman said.

These hope moments include discovering an undiagnosed heart murmur in an 11-year-old who was subsequently treated at Nemours Children’s Hospital and assisting a patient who was rationing heart medication to make it last longer.

“This is probably our biggest hope moment,” Stahlman said of the approved facility. “There are many families who go without because health care access is difficult. Anything we can do to help.”

County introduces plan for future school, park

STAFF WRITER HORIZON WEST A looming request to rezone an adjacent piece of property brought concerned Lake Ingram residents to a community meeting Monday, Sept. 26.

Held at Independence Elementary, the meeting served to inform residents of a request to rezone a parcel of land that DeWitt Enterprises currently owns from Citrus Rural District to Planned Development. The land, a total of 28 acres, is located just north of Lake Ingram Road, on the west side of Avalon Road and northwest of State Road 429. The future plans for the land, should it be rezoned, include a 15-acre elementary school and a nearly 13-acre park.

Jim Willard, the applicant and attorney representing DeWitt, said the DeWitt family has sold numerous land parcels they own in Orange and Lake counties recently, and this is another piece of land no longer being used for company purposes.

The current Horizon West comprehensive plan has a location slightly southwest of the

dog in that,” Willard said. “The map identifies it as an elementary school and park. Once the PD is approved, that becomes the only permitted use on the property. There would have to be further public hearings for that use to change.”

Boyd added that the county has the ability to put conditions on any applicant’s request but that applicants always can ask the county for an exception.

Another concern was possible widening of Lake Ingram Road.

Boyd said this would be unlikely, because the road is currently a dead-end street — a situation that caused trouble for Sunset Park Elementary.

“We really don’t want the traffic right on our street; it’s a deadend street and a quiet rural area,” said Lisa Horine, a 15-year resident of Lake Ingram.

If the timeline runs smoothly, the rezoning request will come before the Development Review Committee by the end of October; the Planning and Zoning Commission as soon as November; and the Board of County Commissioners as early as December.

“When we came out here, there was nothing,” Horine said. “I get that there’s going to be development and growth because the groves are going away, but it’s still in our front yard.”

Lake Ingram Road parcel set aside for a future school already.

However, DeWitt would convey the rezoned land to the county, essentially donating it to Orange County Public Schools, the applicant said at the meeting. Many developers donate land parcels to be designated for schools as part of their overall subdivision plans.

“From what we’ve heard from the school district, they don’t need a school site out here right now,” Willard said. “There are other elementary school sites the district owns. Because there’s a policy that says they need to get one, they’ll take it (the donated land), but they don’t need one right now. When the school district wants it, they can get it from the county.”

Willard and Orange County District 1 Commissioner S. Scott Boyd estimated the school district wouldn’t need the land for at least five years. Additionally, there are currently no specific plans made regarding the potential neighboring park site.

Because plans for future development are years away, some residents were concerned that, although the current land-use plan upon rezoning calls for a school and park, it could turn into something completely different by the time development begins.

“Whether the county in conjunction with the school district decides to use the land for something different, we don’t have a

WINTER GARDEN Downtown Winter Garden has a smorgasbord of restaurant choices, and there’s about to be one more.

By mid-October, a sandwich shop with quick-bite options will open at 18 N. Boyd St. Winter Garden resident Dania Lee is making the final renovations and putting the finishing touches on The Deli Downtown.

Equipment will be installed soon, and arrangements are being made for the outdoor dining area out front, which will have tables, chairs, string lights and umbrellas and seat about 20.

An additional 30 seats are going inside the 1,600-square-foot restaurant.

Lee said her menu won’t be complicated.

“Something simple, something easy, like soup, salad and sandwiches,” she said.

She will use Boar’s Head meats, as well as breads from Douce France Bakery, located on Story Road in Winter Garden. The bakery closed its retail portion earlier this month to expand its wholesale division.

“They had a huge customer following and didn’t want to disappoint their customers, so they asked me, after I called them asking about their bread,” Lee said.

Amy Quesinberry Rhode

Dania Lee, who will open The Deli Downtown in less than a month, is a lifelong West Orange resident.

The two parties came to an agreement, and patrons can enjoy Douce croissants, pastries and muffins at The Deli Downtown. Other breakfast offerings will include yogurt and oatmeal with mix-ins, small quiches, coffee and hot tea. Lunch and dinner options will be mostly soup, salad and sandwiches.

During Happy Hour, diners can order charcuterie boards of meats and cheeses. There will be a retail component, too, where customers can buy wine, beers and Boar’s Head meats by the pound.

Lee is a lifelong West Orange resident; she grew up in Windermere, graduated from West Orange High School and moved to Winter Garden after college in 2001. She taught at the elementary school level for about 10 years.

After a decade of teaching, Lee was ready for something else.

She and her husband, Chris, have two daughters, and they thought it would be a positive lesson for their girls to see a business grow from the beginning.

In downtown Winter Garden, the restaurant possibilities are endless, she said.

“I felt like Winter Garden needed a simple sandwich shop,” Lee said. “I have great interest in food and wine, and between my husband and I, we worked in restaurants, so we just kind of came up with the concept.”

Coffee shop premieres in Ocoee CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11

With a drink like that, you’ll probably feel happier about the situation than Augustus did.

In June, Critics’ Corner opened in Ocoee, neighboring the West Orange Cinema. The shop’s three partners — Tenyl Bradford, Jessica McVay and Patrick Sirois — also manage the theater.

“We wanted to create a space where people could come, hang out and talk and relax,” Bradford said. “We want it to be the backdrop, so to speak, of the movie of your life.”

They found that people wanted places to hang out before or after they enjoyed a movie, and they wanted to provide a space where people could do so. They looked around the immediate area and realized it needed a coffee shop.

“We wanted to create a space where people could come, hang out and talk and relax. We want it to be the backdrop, so to speak, of the movie of your life.”

MORE THAN COFFEE

Bradford said the menu caters to everyone. It features the classic espresso beverages and coffees, but for those who aren’t into coffee, there’s plenty of other options, including tea, hot chocolate, sandwiches, muffins and cookies. But the milkshake-like Signature Frappés are fan favorites.

Each of the frappés, such as the Augustus Gloop, are named based on films. Most contain a fruit puree with milk and special, secret base that give the drinks a smooth texture.

Clockwork Orange has orange juice and yuzu — a citrus fruit from East Asia — topped with whipped cream and a white chocolate sauce. Minion Mania has “BANANA!!” topped with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle and chocolate chips.

“I mean, who doesn’t think of a minion when you think of a banana?” Bradford said.

— Tenyl Bradford

LIKE A FAMILY

Bradford and McVay have worked for Sirois since they were in high school. Sirois hired Bradford in 2001, when she was still in high school. She worked there for three years before leaving for college.

She came back in 2007 as a fulltime manager.

“He’s so good to us,” Bradford said. “I couldn’t say no.”

McVay was hired in 2002, and she’s stayed there ever since.

“We’ve kind of grown as a family, so to speak,” Bradford said.

“None of us are related, but to us we are family.”

In the mood of the coffee shop, they’ve adopted a similar mentality.

Because the coffee shop and cinema are connected, guests are allowed to bring food from Critics’ Corner into the theaters.

Eventually, the partners would like to incorporate more movierelated décor to the shop. But for now, there’s a lot of greenery and nature to aid the home-awayfrom-home feel.

“We wanted it to feel inviting; we wanted it to feel relaxed,” Bradford said. “We really like nature. We wanted to bring some of those elements in. It makes it feel more homey to us.”

FROM THE WINTER GARDEN HERITAGE FOUNDATION

THE WINTER GARDEN TIMES, SEPT. 11, 1969 After 104 years, the Case Company discarded its original trademark “Old Abe” eagle for plain wording. Pounds Motors was a Case dealer in Winter Garden starting in 1936 and displayed for decades the 400-pound cast eagle at the corner of its building at Plant Street and Lakeview Avenue.

Pounds Motors was founded by Hoyle Pounds, who operated the business with his sons, Russell and Herbert.

The eagle still sits perched on its globe in front of the Winter Garden History Museum, a donation from the Pounds family to the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation.

A wedding of interest will be solemnized when Doris Tyson becomes the bride of Clarence E. Heidt, of Winter Garden.

REMEMBERING ARNIE Arnold Palmer — a longtime resident of Bay Hill and a man whose namesake is given to a highprofile golf tournament here in Southwest Orange County, a children’s hospital in Orlando and a popular beverage served all around — passed away Sept. 25.

Palmer died Sunday in Pittsburgh. He was 87.

For a look at Palmer’s enduring legacy in West and Southwest Orange, check out Senior Sports Editor Steven Ryzewski’s column at Orange Observer.com.

MUAY THAI. Muay Thai originated from Thailand, and it is a mixture of boxing and kickboxing. It is also known as “The Art of Eight Limbs” because it uses the hands, shins, elbows and knees extensively.

BOXING. No kicking is allowed in boxing, and the aim is to be lightning-quick with hands and feet to keep balance as the fighter throws hard punches.

JUDO. Originating from Japan, this type of fighting style uses the concept of maximum efficiency with minimum effort by relying heavily on leverage, technique and balance to take down large opponents.

BRAZILIAN JIUJITSU. Known for its ruthlessness, these martial artists fight viciously and aggressively to immobilize opponents. Choke holds, grappling, joint locks and hard striking all are encouraged in this style.

Hailey Weidman won the 200-meter freestyle and the 100-meter fly for Ocoee Sept. 21 in a swim meet against Cypress Creek.

DISCIPLINES

hortly after moving from New York to Florida 11 years ago, Jeffrey Montalbano opened his own MMA fitness gym.

At first, he only had 20 members and no mats or equipment.

Now 10 years later, he runs a gym with two programs spearheaded by him and new business partner Ricardo Oliveira.

The two programs: SWAT Fitness and Fight Sports, offer everything from personal fitness classes, women’s fitness, selfdefense, muay thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu — all under one roof.

“When I owned the place, it was all me,” Montalbano said. “I was the receptionist, the guy who cleaned the bathrooms, I did all the vacuuming, I taught classes — luckily I had Julian Williams, who ran our MMA program here.

And then, once Ricardo came in and developed this whole SWAT fitness and Fight Sports, I’m now able to really dedicate myself to stuff that I love.”

KARATE. This fighting style focuses heavily on open-hand techniques, coupled with kicking, punching and elbow hits. Hits are usually concentrated below the sternum to knock the air out of opponents.

KICKBOXING. There are different versions of this fighting style, but the American version combines swift punches, knees, head-butts and kicks to disarm opponents, ideally before they can react and respond.

WRESTLING. Wrestling is all about grappling techniques and techniques such as throws, takedowns and pins.

Jeffrey Montalbano develops training programs for individual sports, group fitness, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and youth MMA.

What Montalbano really loves is applying his four years of experience in judo and 10 years of experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to develop sports-specific training programs for young athletes.

Two weeks ago, he started a strength and conditioning program for the West Orange High School junior varsity baseball

team with coach Graig Smith and assistant coach T.J. Sullivan.

He also just started working with Ken Janata from Wildfire Softball, a competitive girl’s travel softball program based in Windermere.

FHSAA approves new playoff format

SPONSORED BY MARK’S FLOORS

Justin Godek The Chandler Bats’ 13U Black Team has put together a strong fall season with a number of local players. Helping to lead the way at events such as the Perfect Game Tournament in Ormond Beach has been Justin Godek, 12. Godek has done a little bit of everything for Chandler as a pitcher and catcher.

What’s your favorite memory from this season so far?

The Perfect Game Tournament in Ormond Beach. We played the Scorpions and the Ormond Beach Spikes. We did OK. We won two and we played three. We went into Sunday seated first. The season started in August.

How have you improved this fall?

My catching has gotten better. (Coach Jason Slattery) says I’m better at receiving. In pitching, he helped me with my mechanics.

How do you think your Coach Jason Slattery is helping prepare you to get better?

We play older teams. My teammates are 12 and 13.

What is one thing you’ve learned about pitching that has stuck with you?

I should never shake my head when I pitch. It moves the glove.

THE BASICS

AGE: 12 SCHOOL: Ocoee Middle School GRADE: Seventh POSITION: Catcher, pitcher HANDEDNESS: Right

What’s your favorite type of music?

Pop. I listen to a lot of songs. I listen to radio stations, 106.7.

Who’s your favorite professional baseball team?

The Cubs. I’m from Chicago.

We moved when was 2.

What are your hobbies outside of baseball?

Play sports with my friends.

I play football and basketball.

I play rec basketball with Ocoee Rec. If you could eat at one restaurant, where would you go and why?

Portillo’s. The hotdogs are good and the milkshakes. It’s in Tampa.

In a landmark vote for highschool football in Florida, the Florida High School Athletic Association’s board of directors voted 14-2 Sept. 26 to accept a proposed playoff format that tweaks how teams earn a playoff berth in larger classifications and eliminates districts in smaller classifications entirely.

The proposal — which will be instituted beginning with the 2017 season — was formed and revised over more than a year by a team led by FHSAA administrator Frank Beasley, who afterward expressed his excitement for what’s ahead for the sport.

“This is a landmark day for high school football in the state of Florida,” Beasley said in a statement. “It’s been a long, ongoing process.”

The new format most dramatically affects teams competing in classes 1A through 4A. Within those classifications, districts will be eliminated in favor of a points system to decide which teams make the playoffs in each of the four respective regions.

Without scheduling requirements mandated by districts, teams will be free to build their own regular-season schedules.

IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE

In classes 5A through 8A, a compromise was reached after Beasley conducted numerous interviews with coaches and athletic directors around the states. Those larger classifications will retain districts, and district champions will automatically make the playoffs, as has long been the case. Champions also will be seeded No. 1, 2, 3 or 4 within the eight-team regional playoffs, guaranteeing a home game in the first round.

However, district runners-up no longer will be guaranteed a playoff spot, and the other four playoffs spots in each region (each respective region has four districts and eight playoff spots) will be determined at-large by the same points system used in the lower classifications. Those “wild-card” entrants will be seed No. 5, 6, 7 and 8.

In December, region and district (for 5A-8A) assignments will be updated.

Part of the hope of the change in the smaller classifications is to lure back some of the more than 70 programs who have left district competition to play in independent conferences.

Unburdened by un-winnable districts and the freedom to schedule according to their needs, FHSAA representatives are hopeful some of those

DECEMBER 2016: The FHSAA will release updated regions/districts.

JANUARY 2017: Appeals of region/district assignments due (programs can appeal to become independent, appeal to move up from 1A-4A to 5A and be placed in a district, programs can appeal to be moved to a different district within 5A-8A). Final regions and districts will be released.

FEBRUARY 2017: Regional/ district meetings MAY 1, 2017: Schedules due in C2C Source: FHSAA

schools will take a look at returning.

The change in earning seeds five through eight in the higher classifications is expected to create more excitement toward the end of the season.

“We have the best high school football in the nation, and this is only going to enhance that,” Beasley said.

At 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds, 44-year-old Montalbano inspires respect from young athletes, but his main goal is to help kids realize personal fitness training doesn’t have to be a chore. His training programs are more movement-based than traditional programs.

Head professional Brendon Chase was working with a swarm of third-grade girls on the practice green, all clad in pink golf gear, each high-fiving the others after every made putt. Families were frolicking in the nearby refinished swimming pool, as a few toddlers took their first lessons.

Not that he minds.

The Warriors finished with 26 wins and earned the program’s first playoff victory in advancing to the regional finals before being defeated by eventual state champion Winter Springs.

Usie admits the program’s growth has, in some ways, mirrored his own as a coach — a process that has been aided by his coaching elite club teams for Top Select.

For a player such as Chorney, who is in her fourth year playing for him, it has been a unique experience to watch her coach improve right along with her and the team.

“He really has grown — he takes it in stride all the time,” Chorney said. “He just works hard.”

WINTER GARDEN Earlier this fall, as West Orange volleyball coach Ross Usie sat down to re-watch his team’s victory over Merritt Island Sept. 7 — a match that had been broadcast locally on television — he learned something unexpected about himself and his time with the program.

Usie, in his sixth season as the Warriors’ head coach, was closing in on 100 wins at West Orange.

“On the broadcast, they had my record when they showed my picture and some stats, and that’s when I first realized it,” Usie said.

“I talked to my assistant coach, and he’s like, ‘Yeah, you’ll get it (win No. 100) this season.’”

Usie’s win-total entering the Merritt Island game was 90.

After the Warriors squeezed out a thrilling, come-from-behind victory that night, he was just nine wins away from the milestone — a mark he met Sept. 21 when West Orange swept visiting Ocoee to improve to 11-2 on the season.

Afterward, the Warriors celebrated with a cake and balloons, and senior Cassidy Chorney, who has played for Usie since she was a freshman, remarked that she was excited for her coach.

“It’s really great — he’s such a good guy and such a good coach,” Chorney said. “I’m pretty proud.”

Usie — a graphic design teacher at Orange Technical College’s Mid-Florida Campus and coach at the club level for Top Select — said the milestone is more significant to him in a team context than anything.

“It’s 100 wins for me, but it means 100 wins for the program — and that kind of means a lot to me,” Usie said.

After winning a combined 41 games his first three years at the helm, the Warriors made a big jump in the fourth year when they won 22 games.

“After that (season) we took a big jump,” Usie said. “We weren’t

REWIND: Defense shines for Knights W

WEEK FIVE RESULTS:

Scores from Week Five football games played Sept. 23 (home teams on bottom): Ocoee 21, East Ridge 12 Jones 48, West Orange 24 St. Pete Catholic 14, Foundation Academy 40 Jordan Christian Prep 42, Legacy Charter 6 CFCA 8, Lake Weir 35 ObserverPreps. com Dr. Phillips 21, Mainland 42 Olympia 31, Evans 16 Windermere Prep 36, St. Edward’s 32

hen the East Ridge Knights scored on their first drive of the game — in front of a raucous home crowd, no less — the concern for Ocoee Knights head coach Ben Bullock and his staff was there.

Fortunately, the visiting Knights recovered and responded.

Ocoee (2-2, 2-0 in district) outscored East Ridge (2-2, 0-1 in district) 21-0 in the second and third quarters Friday night, ultimately winning the battle of the Knights, 21-12.

“We got hit in the mouth a little bit that first series,” Bullock said.

“We settled down, did what we do, and we attacked. We were lights-out the rest of the game.”

Ocoee scored twice in the second quarter to take a 14-6 lead into halftime. Then, receiving the opening kickoff of the second half, senior B.J. Bohler ran back a touchdown that definitively shifted the game in Ocoee’s favor.

From there, Ocoee’s defense continued to disrupt the East Ridge offensive attack in turning in one of its strongest performances of the fall. “(Luis) Rivera was in the backfield the entire time — (Lyston) Barber obviously does what Barber does,” Bullock said. “We had guys come up and make great tackles in the open field.”

OCOEE GETTING MOST OUT OF TOP ATHLETES

For a second consecutive week, Ocoee High’s Dorian Jones was on the receiving end of a touchdown pass from Jake Novello.

The significance of this comes from Jones being a defensive player, among several that head coach Ben Bullock and his staff have put to work on the offensive side of the ball in certain situations. Others include defensive back B.J. Bohler, and even standout defensive end Lyston Barber got some reps on offense against East Ridge Sept. 23.

“The biggest thing is that they’re great players and, when you need plays, you’ve got to go to your great players,” Bullock said.

At wide receiver, particularly, using players such as Jones and Bohler enables Bullock and offen-

sive coordinator Jason Boltus to more slowly bring along the Knights’ talented stable of underclassmen receivers who may not be ready to play every down just yet.

TURNOVERS A CATALYST FOR LIONS

The Foundation Academy Lions improved to 2-3 Sept. 23 with a dominant 40-14 win over visiting St. Pete Catholic.

The Lions were spurred on by a dominant defensive effort that produced two interceptions and five fumble recoveries — three of which were returned for touchdowns. Eddie Loos returned an interception for a touchdown and Evan Thompson and Kyle Krueger each returned a fumble to the house.

n Ocoee senior B.J. Bohler returned the opening kickoff of the second half for a touchdown, helping spur the Knights to a 21-12 victory. n Evan Thompson, of Foundation Academy, recorded a team-high 12 tackles (eight solo, four assisted) and recovered two fumbles — one of which he returned for a touchdown — in a win against St. Pete Catholic. n West Orange’s Darian Williams ran for 79 yards and a touchdown in a loss to Jones.

Legacy readies for undefeated Lakers WINDERMERE PREP (5-0) AT LEGACY CHARTER (3-1) AT BULLDOG FIELD, 7 P.M. SCOUTING REPORT: The Eagles will face a stiff challenge for a second consecutive week when they host the nearby Windermere Prep Lakers. The Lakers are averaging 47.2 points per game this fall, making them the perfect challenge for a Legacy defense that is allowing just 15 points per game. Eagles quarterback Gehrig Chambless will have his work cut out for him eluding a WPS defense that is averaging better than two sacks per contest.

OCOEE (2-2, 2-0 DISTRICT) AT HAGERTY (4-0, 2-0 DISTRICT) SCOUTING REPORT: The Knights will take on defending district champion Hagerty on the road in Oviedo, looking to avenge a 28-17 loss in 2015 and to take claim of first place in the district.

“It’s like how I say to the kids:

‘It’s the most important game of the season because it’s the next game,’” Bullock said. “It’s going to be fun getting ready

for that. ... We’re looking at two great teams going at it for supremacy in the district.”

APOPKA (5-0, 0-0 DISTRICT) AT WEST ORANGE (1-4, 0-0 DISTRICT), 7 P.M. SCOUTING REPORT: Little about this matchup bodes well for the Warriors, who are in the midst of a four-game slide. Apopka is averaging 48.8 points per game and is itching to avenge two losses to West Orange in 2015. The Warrior defense has allowed an average of 46.8 points in each of its losses.

CFCA (1-3) AT LAKE MARY PREP (0-4), 7 P.M. SCOUTING REPORT: An Eagles’ defense that has faced some tough tests through its first four games should have a chance to put forth its best effort yet when it travels to take on a Griffins squad that is averaging just six points per game.

CORNERSTONE CHARTER (1-3, 0-0 DISTRICT) AT FOUNDATION ACADEMY (23, 0-0 DISTRICT), 7 P.M. AT WALKER FIELD SCOUTING REPORT: The Lions won big at Cornerstone last year, 42-7, and hope to repeat that effort at Walker Field on Friday. The Foundation defense, which has been strong in its two victories and has a knack for scoring touchdowns, will look to take advantage of an offense that has been shutout twice already this season.
