As a student in medical school, I first thought I wanted to be an OB/GYN physician. But when I delivered my first baby as an intern, I suddenly realized I wanted to be a pediatrician to help newborns and their families grow and thrive.

I joined Orlando Health and Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children because of the trust and confidence I felt working with many of their physicians. I continue to appreciate their mission of caring for the community. That’s something I value and want to be a part of.

Oakland has tried unsuccessfully for many years to eliminate four advertising billboards along State Road 50 but now has an opportunity to remove two of them.

Public Works Director Mike Parker said both of the billboards on the ABC Companies property conflict with the town’s sewer main. Outfront Media, the owner of the signs, has offered to remove the one on the east end of ABC and the one just west of Tubb Street if the town will allow the company to improve the existing sign on the west end of ABC. Improvements would convert the 12-foottall-by-24-foot-wide sign to a 10.5-foot-by-36-foot sign and upgrade it to an electronic version.

The commission agreed, by consensus, to accept the Outfront Media request. John Campbell, of the media company, said the signs will be down within six months and the electronic sign would be added within the same period.

Our Mission is to: Serve the Lord and other saints Transform into the image of Christ Edify one another in love Evangelize with the Gospel of Grace Learn and apply God’s Word Together, through God’s strength, we can become spiritually strong as STEEL. Come grow with us!

Kids got to enjoy carnival rides, games, pony rides and face painting, and adults could grab a beer at the pop-up bar in front of the Lakeshore Center. Friends and families gathered on the lawn of Bill Breeze Park to chow down on food offered by numerous vendors, listen to music from artists such as Dwight Yoakam, Love and Theft and Chris Janson, and enjoy the nice weather.

A certified-green soy candle company is hoping to expand into the Oakland market, and the Town Commission has given the business initial approval.

Liz Jennings and Leah Thompson, who own Collective Kindness at the Plant Street Market in Winter Garden, are looking to open a second location at 4 S. Tubb St. Their plan is to sell candles and other home furnishings, offer coffees and juices on the back porch, host yoga sessions in the garden and rent out the upstairs for meetings. The commission passed the first reading of an ordinance that would change the zoning of the half-acre parcel from RNC-residential neighborhood commercial to C1-commercial.

The building, constructed in 1860, is the oldest in Oakland and possibly Orange County, Jennings said. It has been a school; the home of Dewey Vick, the town’s first female mayor; and, most recently, a hair salon.

“We’re looking to bring it to its full potential inside and out,” Jennings said. “We will pay homage to the history of Oakland and make it the crown jewel of Oakland.”

Thompson and Jennings would like to be open by February.

t’s not every day that you find out you’re one of 120 veterans from across the country chosen to showcase your creative talent on a national scale.

But Winter Garden’s Ernie Windhauser — a veteran of the U.S. Marines — received the phone call inviting him to the National Veterans Creative Arts Festival in Buffalo, New York, just a few months ago.

SHOWCASING CREATIVITY

Across the nation, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs, the VA medical facilities use creative arts as a form of therapeutic rehabilitation to help veterans cope with and recover from physical and emotional disabilities.

Every year, veterans enrolled at these facilities have the opportunity to compete in a local creative arts competition, where they can showcase their talents in categories in both the visual and performing arts.

The competition includes 51 categories in the visual-arts division — such as oil painting and paint-by-number — and 100 in the performing arts, such as music and drama. Once veterans submit their work to the national competition, it goes through a national judging process. In total, about 120 veterans are invited to exhibit their work or performances at the NVCAF, which is the celebration and grand finale of the competition. This year’s was held Oct. 23 to 29 in Buffalo, New York.

Windhauser stumbled upon the local Orlando VA branch’s competition by chance 18 months ago, when he noticed a small poster for it after leaving an appointment.

“They were just ending it, because you have to go to this room where they video you and see if you’re good enough to even be in one of the categories,” he said. “I did part of the spiritual ministry I do with the acting and the resurrection dance. … That was the Lord, that I even had favor to get looked at.”

Ernie Windhauser, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, proudly holds the medals he earned for his drama and flag-dance performances.

Windhauser and his wife, Angela, run a ministry called God’s Finest Hour. It’s a performing-arts ministry which aims to present the Christian faith through dramatic interpretation, song and dance.

While Angela sings, Windhauser dances along with flags in interpretive dances — and the joy he emanates from his performances are infectious. To him, entering the competition was a chance to both express himself and share the ministry’s overarching message of hope and joy.

“That’s my heart — just to help people see the Father,” he said. “My heart is to be joyful and to bring that joy to other people and let my light shine so that they’d want to be drawn toward the Father.”

GOD’S FINEST HOUR

Windhauser’s testimony began 15 years ago, when his second wife left him. Heartbroken, he took some time to soak in God’s word and embarked on a spiritual journey to find himself again.

It was then that he found a Christian dinner theater and rediscovered his love for acting and the performing arts. He played Samuel the scribe in a play called “John and Company” and was consistently receiving positive feedback from audiences.

“Everyone loved it,” he said. “I had done acting in high school and community theater and plays, so I was used to performing, but I kept growing as an actor.”

During the tough time in his life he met Angela, a talented singer, and along with another friend, they formed God’s Finest Hour.

Windhauser implemented some

of the acting he had done and soon after brought in the flag dancing.

“This pastor was at the church I was going to, and he was very theatrical, so I think that enhanced the dramatic arts out of me,” he said. “One Sunday, this lady comes up to me and said, ‘The Lord told me to give you these,’ and she gave me two red flags. There’s a piece of Scripture that says when evil comes in like a flood, the Lord will lift up a banner. When I dance with the flags it’s like His love being a banner, coming against evil.

“He’s given me so much revelation about that kind of exertion, that kind of zeal with praise and worship,” he said. “The two sets I have have been well used. I’ve been doing it for 13 or14 years now.”

The elation that came along with being invited to demonstrate his ministry at the NVCAF was thrilling, but getting to meet the other veterans showcasing their talents was even bigger.

“It’s so therapeutic,” he said.

“I met a couple of people with PTSD, but through singing they were comforted — that’s a great therapy for a lot of these veterans.

A lot of these vets coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan should know about this festival. It would be quite helpful for them to get involved.

“Most people know a veteran and can tell them, ‘Hey, they’ve (the VA) got these programs going on, you’re not alone,’” Windhauser said. “Even if they want to come and just listen to other veterans, they can share their stories and whatever gifts they might have or be encouraged to promote their own gifts.”

OCPS to open gifted magnet WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? The program at the magnet school will be offered fulltime and emphasize projectbased learning and extension activities. This differs from the services offered at most local schools, which typically provide gifted services to students one day a week or on certain days of the week.

Some local schools also instead provide gifted services to students in one or more classrooms (which contain students who have not been identified as gifted) and receive services based on areas of strength and need.

campuses, including three new K-8 schools.

The new Elementary Gifted Magnet School, which will have a program capacity of 434 students, will accept students ranging from second to fifth grade. According to district documents, the Orange County School Board also plans to provide services for sixth-graders in the following year at the same campus.

Given the limited capacity, eligible gifted students are not guaranteed admission. Parents will need to apply on behalf of their child — who must be determined eligible for the gifted program through the district before applying — using the School Choice application process and lottery.

The application timeframe began

Nov. 1 and closes at midnight on Feb. 15, 2018.

But the school is not the only option for parents with gifted students. OCPS currently provides gifted services at several local schools and plans to have those services remain available.

But the gifted services at the local schools differ from the upcoming magnet school’s program because the new school’s program will be full-time and feature a standard curriculum emphasizing project-based learning and extension activities. District documents also state the new school will have elective courses including music, art, world languages and physical education, and extracurricular activities will be offered based on student interest.

Local veterans with interest in both the visual and performing arts are encouraged to participate in the Orlando Veterans Creative Arts Festival, scheduled for February 2018. The competition provides veterans with an opportunity to be recognized for their artistic talents and skills.

Registration for performing-arts and visual-arts entries began Monday, Nov. 6. Registration goes through Thursday, Jan. 11, for performing-arts entries, and through Monday, Jan. 29, for visual-arts entries.

For more information, contact Jenny Danieli at vhaorlVeteransCreativeArtFestival@va.gov or (407) 631-7110.

Further information on guidelines, registration and categories can be found at orlando. va.gov/about/Veterans_Creative_Arts_ Festival.asp.

WHAT IS A GIFTED LEARNER? The Florida Board of Education defines a gifted learner as “one who has superior intellectual development and is capable of high performance.”

According to state law, a student is eligible for gifted student education if he or she demonstrates a need for a special program; displays the majority of characteristics from a standard scale or checklist; and receives a score of 130 or higher on a standardized test of intelligence. A student from a minority group — such as one who has “limited English proficiency” or comes from “a family with low socioeconomic status” — may also be eligible if he or she meets the criteria approved by their individual school district.

Reading Reindeer celebrates 20 years The Observer Media Group-sponsored book drive has collected books for nearly 60,000 children in West Orange.

AMY QUESINBERRY COMMUNITY EDITOR

Most of us can recall our favorite childhood books and who read them to us at night.

But there are children in West Orange County who don’t have their own books — or don’t know the thrill of opening a new book.

The Observer Media Group’s Reading Reindeer is kicking off its 20th year of collecting and handing out new books to be given to needy children at Christmastime. The Observer is partnering with Healthy West Orange and the West Oaks Mall to help reach its goal of 5,000 books.

New books for children from infancy through middle school are being accepted for this annual literacy project. Each year, Reading Reindeer gave away more than 5,000 books.

They are distributed to multiple organizations: Edgewood Children’s Ranch, Community Health Center, Migrant & Homeless Early Education Program of Orange County Public Schools, Resurrection Catholic Church, Head Start and prekindergarten program at Maxey Elementary

OrangeObserver.com

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2017

School, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Winter Garden and the Ocoee and Winter Garden police departments’ toy giveaway programs, as well as the children served by the West Orange Christian Service Center.

Reading Reindeer started in 1998 and community support has enabled Reading Reindeer to bring new books to close to 60,000 children.

New businesses and civic groups have joined annual donors to make this holiday literacy effort a success each year.

Red donation bins are placed in locations around West Orange County to drop off books.

Through cash donations, this program also provides a new copy of “Dr. Seuss’ ABCs” to all babies born at Health Central throughout the year.

The community is invited to join the effort. Checks payable to Reading Reindeer also can be mailed to the Observer Media Group office, 720 S. Dillard St., Winter Garden, Florida 34787.

This year’s campaign ends Dec. 9, and is being coordinated by Allison Brunelle who may be contacted at (407) 656-2121 or by email at abrunelle@orangeobserver.com.

REINDEER RUN Lace up your sneakers and stretch your calves for the Reindeer Run 5K at 7 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 9, at the Winter Garden Village at Fowler Groves. The event, presented by Orlando Health-Health Central Hospital, Healthy West Orange, Winter Garden Village and the Observer Media Group, raises funds for the Reading Reindeer literacy program and benefits Oakland Nature Preserve and Nehrling Gardens after damage from Hurricane Irma. All 5K finishers will receive a medal.

Race-day registration and packet pick-up begins at 6 a.m.

Runners and walkers who register by Nov. 26 pay $25 and are guaranteed a T-shirt. The cost is $30 after Nov. 26. Preregister online at trinrun.com.

Late ballots will not be counted in HD 44 seat Republican race According to Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles, late ballots are common in any election.

GABBY BAQUERO NEWS EDITOR

In any election, getting people to the polls is always a challenge — and late mail-in ballots are common.

However, in a close race, a few hundred late ballots could make a difference in determining the winner — as was the case in the Aug. 15 Republican primary for Florida House District 44.

The seat, which became vacant after Republican incumbent Eric Eisnaugle was appointed to the Florida Fifth District Court of Appeal in May, is now occupied

by Robert “Bobby” Olszewski, who was sworn in after winning the Oct. 10 general election.

In the Republican primary, which had four candidates, Olszewski claimed victory with 39.8% of the vote, beating John Newstreet by 98 votes.

According to Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles, almost 300 ballots arrived after 7 p.m. on the election day of the primary, making them too late to be counted into the official results.

According to state election laws, the office is required to maintain late ballots unopened for 22 months. Generally, the office receives late ballots after every election, Cowles said.

However, the impact of late balORANGE COUNTY

lots is insignificant in elections with a large gap between the candidates.

During the Republican primary, the office received 6,310 total votes — 2,509 for Olszewski and 2,411 for Newstreet.

It is unknown if the late ballots would have changed the result.

Regardless, both Newstreet and Olszewski stated their aim now is to move forward.

“I know Bill Cowles goes to great lengths to inform voters of the timeline of voting and what it takes to ensure they get their ballot counted on time,” Olszewski said. “I can only speak for our campaign in which we had conversations with thousands of mail ballot voters throughout the election and encouraged them to turn their ballots in to make sure they had their vote counted, and I will continue to support measures that encourage more and more people to get out and vote.”

Newstreet said: “I’m not going to relive the past. I made my best effort on Aug. 15, and that’s where it ended for me. The voters have spoken, and I wish my opponent well — it’s a tough job. But yes, I guess this happens more often than we realize, but it may not be too often where it could actually affect the outcome.”

Newstreet has not ruled out the idea of running again in November 2018.

Winter Garden Heritage Foundation agreed it was time to make an adjustment.

“Moving to a one-day festival is much more manageable,” said Tanja Gerhartz, economic development director with the city. “A lot of communities and downtowns have moved from doing three-day events to a one-day event.”

But just because the festivities don’t last the entire weekend doesn’t mean there won’t be a lot going on, Gerhartz said.

“We have close to 30 different groups or musicians playing throughout the day,” she said.

“Even though it’s just one day, it’s a pretty full day. There’s a lot of music on the street; there’s a lot of entertainment.”

The city is expecting to see nearly 20,000 people attend the event, which will showcase all things local, from the music to the food, Gerhartz said. Proceeds

“We have close to 30 different groups or musicians playing throughout the day. Even though it’s just one day, it’s a pretty full day. There’s a lot of music on the street; there’s a lot of entertainment.”

MusicFest kicks off Friday, Nov. 10, with a performance by Johnny Wild and the Delights in downtown Winter Garden. On Saturday, the main stage will feature performances by Come Back Alice, The Jonnie Morgan Band, Thomas Wynn and the Believers, The Sh-Booms, Beebs and Her Money Makers and Switch.

Street performers, including Layla Brisbois, the Garden Music Chamber Trio and Nicole Equerme, will be scattered around the festival at various locations.

The event will also include a stage set aside for kid-friendly shows and events, such as Pinocchio’s Marionette Theatre and art activities.

Gerhartz suggested going to check out the performance by Phantasmagoria that will include magic, sword swallowing and fire breathing.

“They’re going to be doing a street show with the fire and all of that,” she said. “(It will be) a very special treat.”

Since the event will be held on Veterans Day, Gerhartz said the men and women who served our country won’t be left out of the festivities.

“Although it is not a Veterans Day event, we are planning to recognize our veterans,” she said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

OrangeObserver.com

HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE AT GREAT AMERICAN TEACH-IN

Here in West Orange County, workforce development is an increasingly important topic.

The economy is thriving, and businesses continue to flock to our area, but we know that finding and providing qualified employees is a mounting issue.

On Nov. 15, Orange County Public Schools is hosting the annual OCPS Teach-In program. The West Orange Chamber of Commerce is partnering with OCPS to assist in finding the best participants for the West Orange County high schools (Olympia, West Orange, Windermere, Ocoee, Dr. Phillips and Evans) for this year’s program. This is a great opportunity to reach students directly and bring awareness to the various jobs that are in demand now and will continue to be in the future.

It is vitally important that we are engaging our high-school students and making them aware of the various career paths they can take. Many students are not aware of the nearly limitless possibilities available to them. Right here in our area, UCF and Valencia College are providing opportunity to thousands of students each year. Alternatively, many students are finding success through technical programs, like those offered at Orange

Technical College, where they are learning valuable skills that put them on a fast track to a great career.

Mike Armbruster, of Orange Technical College, has identified specific courses at each school, in which students would be best served by hearing from someone already in the field. Our goal is to find volunteers in fields including but not limited to: construction, digital media, information technology, culinary arts and engineering. We are looking for volunteers in all stages of the workforce, from the lead decision-makers to the employees of all ranks who can best share their stories about your business and building a successful career in the industry.

OCPS Teach-In is your opportunity to impact your community to help shape the future of our workforce. If you are interested in participating or would like to learn more, please visit foundationforocps. org or contact the chamber by calling (407) 656-1304.

We will connect you with the right school and people to be prepared for Nov. 15. Thank you for considering being a part of this valuable program.

Bowen-Painter named OCPS Principal of the Year SunRidge Middle’s Patricia Bowen-Painter opened the Winter Garden school five years ago.

AMY QUESINBERRY COMMUNITY EDITOR WINTER GARDEN Orange County Public Schools has named Patricia Bowen-Painter of SunRidge Middle School as its Principal of the Year for 2017-18. The announcement was made Oct. 23 in a ceremony at Madame Tussauds Orlando that wrapped up National Principals Month in October.

The other two finalists were Dusty Johns, of Boone High, and Kelly Steinke, of Killarney Elementary.

The awards ceremony included a reception, a catered dinner and the top-principal recognition.

The finalists were introduced, and a short video was shared.

Bowen-Painter said she was surprised to hear her name being called.

“I am so impressed by the accomplishments of my colleagues and the hard work accomplished at their schools, as well as the other schools in OCPS,” she said. “After seeing their work highlighted, I felt certain it would be one of them.”

In her nomination, BowenPainter shared her philosophies and reflections on the importance

of school leadership: “Whether it has been as a classroom teacher, resource teacher, assistant principal or principal, I have believed that education is a life-changing experience, and it is my responsibility to ensure that all students have the opportunity to transform their lives.”

Bowen-Painter has been with OCPS in several teaching and administration capacities since 1987 and has served as a principal since 2005.

“It is a blessing to serve as principal at SunRidge Middle School,” Bowen-Painter said. “We opened in 2012-13 with approximately 1,050 students and have grown to nearly 1,400 by this year. We have a very talented, dedicated, student-centered faculty and support staff. Our students are extremely hard-working, conscientious and caring. Our parents and community members are generous in the support they provide to our school family.”

SunRidge Middle was the topscoring middle school in the district for FSA accountability in 2016-17 and FCAT accountability in 2013-14.

“It has been an exciting journey to develop as an educational leader in OCPS,” Bowen-Painter said. “My focus remains on student learning, and my goal is that my professional growth positively impacts the students that I serve.”

The band directors at both West Orange and Ocoee high schools are among the finalists for Orange County Public Schools 2019 Teacher of the Year. The winner will be announced in December and will be OCPS’ nominee for the 2019 Florida Department of Education/Macy’s Teacher of the Year.

Kenneth Boyd, band director at West Orange, is an accomplished music educator who has earned national awards and recognitions, including the 2017 National High School Program of Excellence.

In its nomination, OCPS officials said Boyd’s depth of character and ethical leadership result in students devoted to his program and their own future moral and professional development.

Joining Boyd is Ocoee High Band Director Bernie Hendricks.

OCPS officials said: “Hendricks is not just a teacher and band director at Ocoee High School, but he is the true spirit and heart and soul of what makes this school a special place. He has a personal battery that never stops, and he never says ‘no’ to anything that will benefit all students. He’s at the helm of a 235-piece marching band that not only performs at school and sport events but all over the region in various appearances. Mr. Hendricks always displays passion and pride in students and the school.”

In addition to Boyd and Hendricks, OCPS finalists include Hospital Homebound’s Cindi Brasch; Timber Creek High’s Kyle Dencker; and Lake Silver Elementary’s Sandy Mercer.

urricane Irma might have delayed The Gift of Life’s annual gala from its original September date, but it had no power in stopping the organization and its supporters from coming together to celebrate miracles.

Its annual gala — held Saturday, Nov. 4, at the Heaven Event Center — serves as a fundraiser. This year’s theme, Dancing for Preemies, included performances from a Michael Jackson impersonator, glow stick dancer, flamenco dancer and ventriloquist.

The Gift of Life was founded in 2014 by Rosie and Marcus Moore, parents of a preemie, and aims to offer hope, encouragement and support to parents of premature babies in neonatal intensive-care units.

It is a registered nonprofit set up to work directly with NICUs to assess the units’ immediate needs, as well as the needs of NICU parents and babies.

— DANIELLE HENDRIX

The Gift of Life founders Rosie and Marcus Moore thanked guests for their support.

The Gift of Life bear was a special gala guest.

SPECTACULAR SUPER SAVINGS!

7 p.m. Nov. 11. Now in its seventh year, Central Florida’s “Cows ’n Cabs” returns with great food (and drink) for two deserving charities. With more restaurant participation than ever, the event promises serious tastings from more than 30 restaurants including 4 Rivers Smokehouse, The Ravenous Pig, Holler & Dash and Chroma Modern Bar + Kitchen. The “down-home, cowboy-themed” evening is hosted by 4 Rivers Smokehouse founder John Rivers and ABC Fine Wine & Spirits’ David Larue. 4 Rivers Master Chef John Rivers knows fundraisers, and when he joined with David Larue to create a new fundraiser, they wanted the opposite of the tux-and-tie crowd. Trust me, switching to cowboy boots makes this one of the most fun FUNdraisers of the season, and all that fun benefits the AfterSchool All-Stars and Elevate Orlando. Held in Winter Park’s Central Park West Meadow.

PUCCINI’S ‘LA BOHÈME’

Nov 15, 17 and 19. “La Bohème,” one of the world’s most beloved (and most performed) operas, was composed by Giacomo Puccini with a libretto based on stories about young “bohemians” living in Paris in the 1840s. The world premiere in 1896 featured a young Arturo Toscanini conducting. Exactly 50 years later, Toscanini conducted a performance of “La Bohème” on radio with the performance released on record and CD. With a story of love found and lost, Opera Orlando has updated the opera to Paris in the Roaring ’20s.

Cecilia Violetta Lopez, of the Metropolitan Opera, makes her Orlando debut as Mimi, with tenor Ben Gulley as Rudolfo.

Company favorites Bridgett Gan and Gabriel Preisser round out the opera’s lead quartet. Opera Orlando performs with Orlando Philharmonic musicians, and these performances will sell out.

‘DADDY LONG LEGS’

Nov. 16 to Dec. 17. From the Tony Award-winning director of “Les Miserables,” this Cinderella-story-musical is based on the novel that inspired the 1955 movie starring Fred Astaire. The musical takes place in an orphanage, where Jerusha is the “oldest orphan in the home.” Impressed by her writing, a trustee of the orphanage offers to pay for her to go to college — all expenses paid. The only condition is that he remains anonymous, but Jerusha is to write to him reporting her progress. As she begins her first letter, she decides to call him “Daddy Long Legs,” because of a shadow she has seen (having decided the shadow belongs to her benefactor). Call (407) 645-0145 or visit winterparkplayhouse.org.

BEETHOVEN AND MOZART

8 p.m. Nov. 18. If you truly love classical music, I know when you saw the title “Beethoven and Mozart,” you smiled. As concert-goers, we feel fortunate when either name shows up on our program, but both on the same program — we get to sit back and enjoy unabashed genius. The Orlando Philharmonic will make this dream-come-true happen when Jeffrey Kahane, music director of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, conducts and performs at the piano with our orchestra. Both concerto and symphony begin with a slow introduction, with stately repetitions of a series of chords.

In performance at the Bob Carr Theatre. call (407) 770-0071 or visit orlandophil.org.

Rob Winn Anderson is no stranger to the Garden Theatre.

He helped direct its opening gala 10 years ago and watched it grow into a theatrical powerhouse.

Now, he’s stepped into a leadership role as the theater’s first artistic director.

“It’s very exciting,” Anderson said about the opportunity. “I want us to be a well-respected theater, a place where people know they can come to see a quality production.”

Anderson fell in love with theater at a young age and eventually went on to study theater in college. After spending several years acting in various shows, he began directing and writing his own plays, several of which have been featured at the Garden Theatre, including “Alice Lost in Wonderland” and “Christmas by Committee.”

This year, the theater will be showcasing another one of Anderson’s plays — “A Tennessee Walk.”

“This will be the southeastern U.S. premiere, so I’m excited to see it here at the Garden,” Anderson said.

“There’s a real solidity here, so we can take chances and make things happen. I never doubted it would have a great future.”

Looking at the rest of the season, Anderson said he is most excited about putting together “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”

“It’s such a different story from the Disney movie,” he said. “It’s closer to the original book. I think what we’re planning to do with it is interesting.”

Although he’s worked as an artistic consultant with the theater before, Anderson said he’s looking forward to digging deeper into each show to enhance it.

“It’s not just about directing shows and making selections but (also) caring about the patron experience,” he said.

During rehearsals for “The Odd Couple,” Anderson said he had an “aha” moment about just how detailed and critical his position will be for the success of each show. He was sitting in a frontrow seat watching the rehearsal and realized the sofas were blocking the view — a problem he immediately was able to fix. It was that moment when he realized his decisions would improve the shows for the audience.

“That’s where it really hit me,” he said. “It’s different to be the leader and hold the overall vision of a piece and work with everyone to bring a piece to life.”

For Anderson, who has seen the theater’s evolution since day one, the theater is a vital part of downtown Winter Garden.

“The Garden’s existence was the catalyst for growth for this area,” he said. “It has brought life to this area, and it’s become a sort of beating heart for the town.”

And the theater’s future is exciting, Anderson said.

orizon West welcomed some of the best waterskiers from the area and around the world to compete in the King of Darkness waterski tournament Saturday, Nov. 4, at the Isles of Lake Hancock.

Visitors lined up along the waterside as they watched athletes compete in a series of events, including: the slalom, trick competition, men’s and women’s long jump and under-23 competitions.

Along with the competition on the water, visitors enjoyed a variety of food trucks, live music and children’s activities.

The night included the appearance of Daniel Roberts, 10, who participated as the guest of honor for the event, while also representing the nonprofit Runway to Hope. Roberts, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in February, enjoyed a night out on the water and his time hanging out in the commentator’s booth.

LILLIAN STANLEY HUNT BUCHHOLD DIED TUESDAY, OCT. 24, 2017.

“Cremation Choices offers an affordable alternative to expensive funeral homes and cremation services in the Central Florida area.”

Lillian Stanley Hunt Buchhold, 95, of Orlando, Florida, died Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2017, at Westminster Towers Health Center, where she had been a resident since 2010.

Born in Whiteville, North Carolina, on Aug. 11, 1922, to Julian P. and Alice Jolly Stanley, Lillian was the fourth of nine siblings and the longest lived.

She married Lemuel Harold Hunt in 1938, and they moved to Florida in 1943. They had two sons, John Roger and Lemuel Russell (who died in infancy), and a daughter, Sibyl Rose.

Lem and Lillian were married for 61 years until his death in 2000. She was a homemaker and later held secretarial positions at Golden Rule Press in Orlando and at First Baptist Church, Winter Garden, where she served for 19 years during the pastorate of Dr. K. Fay DeSha. Lillian was a talented seamstress, quilter and crafter and loved sharing her work with family and friends. She was a devoted follower of Jesus

Christ and taught ladies’ Sunday school classes as long as she was able.

In 2006, she married Julius Buchhold. Lillian was loving and generous to family and friends alike.

She is survived by her son, John (Barbara); her daughter, Sibyl Hull (William); five grandchildren; eight greatgrandchildren; and three greatgreat-grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, at First Baptist Church, Winter Garden, with the Rev. William Hull officiating.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Westminster Communities Foundation, 80 W. Lucerne Circle, Orlando, FL 32801, or Oakland Nature Preserve, 747 Machete Trail, Oakland, FL 34760.

Katie Schorr, a junior at Montverde Academy who lives in Ocoee and swims in club events for Winter Gardenbased SouthWest Aquatics, won two individual state championships Nov. 4 at the FHSAA Class 1A Swimming and Diving Championships. Schorr won the girls 50-yard freestyle (22.89 seconds) and 100-yard freestyle (49.90 seconds) events, each with All-American times.

STEVEN RYZEWSKI SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

It turns out the third time was the charm for the West Orange volleyball team in the regional championship round of the state playoffs.

After reaching the third round of the playoffs and losing to Winter Springs in 2015 and Oviedo OVIEDO

in 2016, the Warriors got the job done in 2017 — West Orange topped host Oviedo 3-1 in the FHSAA Class 8A-Region 1 Championship Nov. 7 (25-14, 17-25, 25-20, 25-20).

With the win, the Warriors (270) earned the program’s first trip to a state semifinal.

“I’ve been waiting for this for four years now,” West Orange senior Baylor Bumford said. “It’s just the most special thing I could ever ask for.”

After being swept by Oviedo in 2016, West Orange raced out to a

fast start in a dominant first set Tuesday night, setting the tone for the match.

“We were able to execute what we had practiced, and we just wanted to play our game,” Warriors coach Ross Usie said.

West Orange advances to the FHSAA Class 9A State Semifinals Saturday. The Warriors will host a team with which they are familiar — the Olympia Titans.

Olympia swept Centennial in its regional final, meaning the local rivals will meet for a third — and final — time this season.

When their children aged out of the city of Winter Garden’s youth soccer league, a group of local parents decided to start their own league — Firestorm FC Soccer.

he need was there.

Joe Gitto, Scott Green, Clarence Lockhart and Chip Wilson had coached their kids for years as they came up through the city of Winter Garden’s youth soccer league at Braddock Park.

But time ran out, in a sense, as their own children approached the league’s cut-off of age 13 — the league is for players ages 12 and younger. So, a solution was needed.

“Both of our daughters kind of aged out, so we talked about it and said, ‘Hey, man, let’s get a league going for the older kids,’” Lockhart said, recalling a conversation with Gitto.

The group, led by Gitto, brought the proposition to the city of Winter Garden to expand its current offerings, but the reception was not exactly warm.

“We approached the city and said, ‘Hey, these kids are aging out and they want to play,’” Gitto

said. “We were told, ‘If you want to start something, go ahead — you’re never going to get more than five or six kids interested.’”

More than 50 kids later, the group of local parents may have been on to something, after all.

The newly christened Firestorm FC Soccer League has four teams competing in its inaugural season this fall, and even the league’s original organizers are surprised by the response.

“We were shocked ... we’re actually still getting emails (from interested parents),” Gitto said.

Gitto and company feel the expanded offering for teens ages 13 to 15 is important. After age 12, there are not as many options for players that don’t involve club or travel teams — which require a larger commitment.

“It’s hard for that age group unless you go play for a club,” Lockhart said. “A lot of these kids just like to play the game.”

With its four teams, Firestorm FC has been hosting games on Saturday mornings for more than six weeks now. Halfway through its inaugural season, the league also has each team practice once a week and teams are coed, with local boys and girls from schools including Bridgewater Middle, SunRidge Middle, Legacy Charter and freshmen at West Orange and Windermere High working together on each side.

Kristyn Burbano For the second -consecutive year, West Orange High senior Kristyn Burbano qualified as an individual for the girls bowling state championships. The competition was held on Wednesday, Nov. 1, and Burbano bowled an 822 series, putting her in 15th place in the state.

How long have you been bowling?

I’ve done competitive bowling since I was 10. I started in a youth league, but my whole family bowls. So I have bowled for as long as I can remember.

Why do you enjoy bowling?

I love how it’s not a contact sport. It’s just you and the pins, so nothing can affect how you bowl, except yourself.

What was your goal for your last season of bowling this year?

My senior year goal was to go to states and to make the top 16.

Since you competed in states last year, was it easier competing again this year?

I was definitely more comfortable being there. It wasn’t as nerve-wracking.

Competing last year definitely helped my nerves a lot.

Athlete of the Week sponsored by:

Have our Mobile Showroom come to you!

SCHOOL: West Orange High School YEAR: Senior BOWLING THROW: Right-handed HEIGHT: 5-foot-2 BEST SCORE: 257

What was it like competing at the state level this year?

There are definitely a lot of good bowlers, and I definitely bowled well. I got to bowl with some really good bowlers.

How did you prepare yourself mentally for the competition?

I just tell myself, ‘You made it here. The worst that could happen is you bowl badly.’ You just have to keep it simple. You have to focus on where to stand and where the pins are. I also listen to music to get in the zone. For for a half-hour to an hour before, I sat by myself and zoned in. You want to have your own time.

How do you feel this season went?

This season was so different than any other season. I was more consistent. I was more comfortable with my bowling.

And we lost a few starters last year and got some new, lessexperienced bowlers, so it was more laid-back. We were bowling; we were having fun. So winning was just icing on the cake.

How did you feel about getting that 822 score in the state competition?

I average about 200 (points per game), so that’s probably the highest series I’ve thrown.

What do you plan to study in college?

Digital design. I’ve always doodled, and my family is all artsy. So I just have the creative aspect.

Do you plan to bowl in college?

I want to. I’m looking at schools with bowling teams, but some schools only have clubs. But I definitely want to do it. My top two are Long Island University and Adelphi University. Those are the two I’m shooting for.

the final month of their respective seasons knowing they could afford no missteps — and neither team faltered.

For the Lions, competing in Class 2A where the district structure had been eliminated completely, the uncertainty was especially pronounced.

After an Oct. 6 loss to Seven Rivers Christian, which dropped the Lions to 2-3 at the time, there was less uncertainty — the team would face must-win games the rest of the season.

Fo u n d a t i o n Academy responded by rattling off five consecutive wins to end the regular season. And, while the team ultimately missed the playoffs, coach Brad Lord was pleased by how his team responded to some adversity.

“It became a playoff game every week,” Lord said. “When we lost that game to Seven Rivers, we said we had to run the table — and we did.”

Most recently, the Lions (7-3) defeated Seffner Christian 40-21 Nov. 3 in their regularseason finale. Before that, Foundation knocked off an opponent from Class 5A for the first time — rallying to defeat Poinciana 22-21 October 27.

West Orange also lost for the final time in the regular season Oct. 6 — a 21-10 defeat against the Jones Tigers (9-1). At the time, the loss dropped the Warriors to 2-4, and the playoffs

The coed format has been a success, Gitto said, creating a unique atmosphere balancing competition and friendliness.

“It’s interesting — it’s very competitive, but it’s not that nasty competitive,” Gitto said.

All skill levels are welcome, and coaches emphasize seeing progress with each individual player relative to where he or she started the season.

For now, the league plays its games and hosts its practices at the field at Calvary Baptist Church, 631 S. Dillard St., Winter Garden. Green is a parishioner there, helping to facilitate the accommodation, and Firestorm has been very thankful for the space.

seemed an impossibility.

But a win Oct. 9 against Timber Creek got West Orange back in the win column, and a few days later, the Warriors earned the signature win of the season, upsetting Apopka, 31-27.

Suddenly, at 4-4 and with a big win under the team’s belt, the playoffs were back on the table. The Warriors won their final two games — against Evans and Ocoee, respectively — by a combined scored of 87-21.

It would not be enough for the final at-large playoff berth in Class 8A-Region 2, though.

That went to Boone, which finished 7-2, although the Warriors played what many would consider a tougher schedule than the Braves — all of West Orange’s losses came against playoff teams. On the other hand, all but one of their wins came against teams that ended with losing records. Even Timber Creek had an uncharacteristic season, finishing 3-7.

Twisting the knife is the knowledge that the Warriors would have been a playoff team this fall under the previous format, where district runners-up earned automatic berths.

Still, a West Orange team that will return most of its starters can hang its hat on its strong play down the stretch and closing the season on a four-game winning streak.

Regarding the points system, one achieved objective that the Lions and Warriors can attest to is that, under the new system, every game really does matter — for better or worse.

on for a larger full-time venue that has lights. Because the sun is going down earlier, it has become problematic for weeknight practices.

“If we can find a field site that would accommodate us, that would do it cost-effectively, yes — absolutely (we would relocate),” Gitto said. “We appreciate what the church has done for us, but this is far from ideal.”

Interested families who would like for their children ages 13 to 15 to get involved can contact the league either through its Facebook page — Facebook. com/FirestormFCSoccer/ — or by emailing Gitto at jagitto63@ gmail.com. The league is open to take on new players for the second half of the current fall season, but more importantly is accepting registration for its first spring season.

“The more the merrier,” Lockhart said. “We’re going to continue to grow.”

In their quest to regain “The Shield,” the West Orange Warriors won handily against the Ocoee Knights Nov. 10, 42-7, in a game where its unusual ending ultimately may eclipse what happened on the field.

Ocoee High officials called the game with 11:15 remaining in the fourth quarter due to safety concerns.

Reported violent fights that took place outside of the stadium — but still on campus in the parking lot near the gate — led to the unusual decision. Attendees were asked to leave while the athletes and band members from both schools hung back, before leaving once things had settled down.

Although the final outcome of the game was not in jeopardy at the time the game was called, both coaches were disappointed their seniors didn’t get a chance to complete the final quarter of their high school careers.

“I’m shocked,” West Orange coach Bob Head said. “It’s the first time I’ve ever seen that.

There were some seniors that I really wished could have gotten in the game, and they didn’t get that opportunity, so I’m upset for them.”

“It’s disappointing,” Ocoee coach Jason Boltus said. “No matter what our record was, these seniors didn’t quit — for three years they haven’t quit. ... To take that 11 minutes and 15 seconds away isn’t fair to them.”
