Veterans living at Sonata West, in Winter Garden, were recognized for their service during a Veterans Day ceremony organized

by Cornerstone Hospice & Palliative Care on Sunday, Nov. 11. The Cornerstone Salutes! program honors veterans in a pinning ceremony.

Nineteen veterans were recognized: Pete Fostines, Bill Murray, Bill Clark, Lynn Guthrie, Paul Teryl, Al Mannella, Paul Prendergast, Warren Meister, Bobby Landrum, Michael Myers, Fred Jennings, Edith Hamilton, William Milton Hamilton, Dick Clements, Joe Grilli, Allan Bruckheim, Howard Chinn, Clyde Jones and Jim Stanley.

They represented the U.S. Air Force, Army, Marines and Navy and many fought in World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars.

“If you’ve taken the time to serve this country, this nation, you are a veteran,” said George Wanberg, coordinator of the Cornerstone Hospice veteran program and a Marine who served in the Vietnam War. The next day, the city of Ocoee hosted its ceremony at the Woman’s Club of Ocoee. It included a performance of patriotic tunes from the Ocoee Middle School Wind Ensemble, a keynote address and procession to the city’s memorial site. Steve Shuga, past state commander of the Florida American Legion and executive director of the National American Legion Press Association, was the keynote speaker.

Bridgewater students embrace volunteerism The BRAVO Club is 100 students strong and is aimed at making a difference at the school and in the community.

AMY QUESINBERRY COMMUNITY EDITOR

Members of the BRAVO Club at Bridgewater Middle School are passionate about community service, and they act on that passion by devoting hundreds of volunteer hours to local nonprofit organizations.

“We try to make somebody smile,” said Tamara Zotti, PTSO vice president and BRAVO Club adviser.

The club name stands for Bobcats Reaching Available Volunteer Opportunities, and these students are making the most of every opportunity that comes their way.

“It’s a group of students and their parents who must have a passion to do community out-

reach, to volunteer to the school and make a difference and go out in the community and make a difference,” Zotti said. “These are our future leaders.”

Members receive a club T-shirt, donated through a local sponsor.

Zotti calls them entrepreneurs and is proud of their impact on the community.

A clothing drive last month brought in more than 4,000 pounds of clothes and linens and netted more than $800 for the club. Students collected the items and filled trailers that were going to be sent to either hurricanestricken areas or third-world countries, Zotti said.

Of the money raised, $500 was split among Miles to Go, Matthew’s Hope, Orlando Rescue Mission and Greyson’s Project,

as well as funds established for three Bridgewater Middle projects: landscaping, new water fountains and personal hygiene items for the nurse’s station.

Club members collected 201 pounds of Halloween candy that were taken to Dr. William Fravel’s office to be donated to Soldier’s Angels. They spent a recent weekend pulling weeds and vines from a pasture at DreamCatchers Horse Ranch.

They participated in Random Acts of Kindness Week, writing notes, messages, chalk drawings and more to encourage their classmates to extend kindness beyond just that week. They cleaned pantry shelves and washed vehicles at Matthew’s Hope.

The teachers have benefited, too, from the club’s activities. This year, BRAVO students performed makeovers on three teachers’ lounges by soliciting furniture donations.

“The wonderful thing about this club is the student doesn’t have to participate in all events,” Zotti said. “They can participate in what they are connected with.”

The volunteer hours donated by the students count toward requirements for BETA Club and National Junior Honor Society. At least half of the club members are in BETA, NJHS or Student Government, Zotti said.

“They just want to do good,” she said. “I’m just very passionate about these kids and how excited they get knowing they’re helping someone else. Their little piece of kindness is really going to affect someone else in the long run. …

They want to be generous, to be kind, just be good kids.”

BRAVO Club is open to all grades at Bridgewater, and membership is offered to anyone who has a heart for volunteering. There are about 100 students involved in the club currently, although not

everyone participates in every event.

“I might not see a kid for seven volunteer opportunities, and then one might come along that touches them and they want to help,” Zotti said.

Her goal this year is to spruce up the landscaping in front of the school, which is a clean slate after all the dead bushes were removed.

Zotti reached out to landscaping companies and received several responses; one is donating toward the project and another is offering planting and design suggestions.

Mulch will define the landscaped areas.

This project is being funded by donations from the community and money the club members raise.

“These students have the heart to help, and I am happy to be an adviser for them,” Zotti said.

A rock in a hard place

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.”

AMY QUESINBERRY COMMUNITY EDITOR

T

he Health Central Hospital surgical team used to give patients a thank-you note as part of their post-operation discharge packet.

The card read, “Thank you for choosing us,” said Teri Collard, the Ocoee hospital’s supervisor of surgery.

But the message didn’t seem appropriate for some patients — such as those who had just had a mastectomy or miscarriage.

“We knew we needed to do something else,” Collard said.

The hospital’s patient-experience team brainstormed different ideas for fostering a connection with the patients on a more personal level.

“Hope is the only emotion stronger than fear,” Collard said.

“We kept coming back to that. …

There’s healing in staying positive.

We wanted to do something with hope.”

The idea was cemented when Collard was in church one day and a quote by Dr. Dale Archer popped up on the screen.

It read: “If I could find a way to package and dispense hope, I would have a pill more powerful than any antidepressant on the market. Hope is often the only thing between man and the abyss.

As long as a patient, individual or victim has hope, they can recover from it.”

The solution was to dispense hope, Collard said.

They considered armbands and lapel pins before deciding on Hope Rocks.

“I not only wanted to inspire hope with the patients, but I wanted to inspire empathy with the employees,” Collard said.

She orchestrated a team-building event at her house with the

surgical team and set out rocks, paint and paint brushes so everyone could start creating.

“When we start the event … I say, ‘What would you (as the patient) want to hear? If you’re the person here who just had a mastectomy, or had a miscarriage, what would be helpful to you?’” Collard said.

“And they just went at it. There were no limits to what they could paint. Some are female-oriented, male-oriented; some have scripture.”

When she opened the painting project to the entire hospital staff, she received enough inspirational

rocks to fill a large bucket, which was donated to the new OrlandoHealth UF Health Cancer Center facility on campus.

Each rock is placed in a small burlap bag and given to the patients.

Orlando Health does not fund the project. Paint, rocks and money have been donated to keep Hope Rocks going.

Collard has challenged her surgical team and wants to see everyone handing out rocks. Cancer patients and those who have lost an unborn child will receive a rock, but it extends even further.

“If you’re talking to someone with a hard diagnosis … feel free to give them a rock,” Collard told her team. “If you hear someone having a hard time, maybe lost someone, give them a rock. And, sometimes, it might not be the patient who loves the rock, but the family member might love it.”

Collard said the surgical doctors, nurses and technicians are enjoying the responses from patients.”

“This is going that extra mile,” she said. “And it’s fun. And the team is now thinking, ‘Hey, maybe we can make ornaments for the patients.’”

in Orange County — particularly from tourism — made the service center a natural fit for the area.

“It was just a matter of time that we (come here),” Tremblay said. “We needed to be here in this area, because if you just look around, you see all the Disney buses (and) the Universal Studios buses. There’s a lot of (bus) traffic in the area, so it was just a natural fit for us to be here.”

Tremblay added that Prevost

invested more than $6 million to build the facility and created 50 jobs. He said the service center will be staffed by factory-trained technicians who will be trained to work on Prevost, Nova buses and Volvo motorcoaches in addition to other motorcoach brands.

Guy French, the Prevost Vice President and General Manager of Services for Canada and the United States, discussed the types of services that will be offered at the new facility.

“We can do any kind of repair

on buses — whether it is engine repair, accident repair, warranty work,” French said. “We don’t do (coach) conversions (here). We have (third-party) partners who do conversions.”

French said although conversions are handled by third-party partners, the facility will be capable of servicing converted coaches — as well as others.

“Of course, we specialize in our own brands — which is Prevost, Volvo Bus North America and also the Nova Bus,” French said.

“But we can also repair any other brands. Buses are designed in such a way that there are many common parts. … We have technicians that are trained in different brands.”

Eric Gutierrez

In addition to repairs, customers also can shop for used coaches onsite or have new coaches delivered to the facility. Prevost’s Winter Garden Service Center is the company’s first facility that has been designed to handle servicing coaches and doing on-site sales of used coaches. “(This facility) will be our main hub for used buses, because we are close to the airport, (and) the Florida weather is perfect,” he said.

Håkan Agnevall, Global president of Volvo Buses, said the new facility will help Prevost — part of the Volvo Group, along with Nova Bus — better serve its customers in the area.

Company and store executives and employees prepared to cut the ribbon signifying the store’s grand opening Friday, Nov. 9.

City Furniture opens first market location in Ocoee City Furniture, a South Florida-based furniture company, officially broke into the Orlando market with the grand opening of its Ocoee showroom and warehouse.

DANIELLE HENDRIX BLACK TIE EDITOR

If perusing a showroom in search of your next living-room set with a glass of wine in hand sounds good, you’re in luck.

City Furniture, a furniture company based in South Florida, celebrated the grand opening of

its 85,000-square-foot showroom and 240,000-square-foot warehouse near State Road 429 in Ocoee.

One of the largest home retailers in the state, City Furniture has officially broken into the Central Florida market with the Ocoee location. It is set to open up two more showrooms in the Millenia and Altamonte Springs areas next year.

General managers Felix Hermida and Jay Jones said that early in the process of searching for warehouse space in the area, the company realized the building it is now leasing inside The Park @ 429 was big enough for both a showroom and warehouse.

“Ocoee gives us an opportunity, specifically in this area, to be (near) the 429,” Hermida said. “Visibility is amazing. …

We had good success in South Florida with our one store that is attached to the warehouse. For delivery purposes, we think it’s great, because we are close to the (highway). …We believe it’s a great place to open our first (Orlandoarea) store and warehouse.”

Jones, who has been with City Furniture for 12 years, relocated to Orlando four weeks ago, and Hermida will move from The Villages next month to be closer to the new store. For both, City Furniture is more than just a job.

“I always wanted to move but knew I could never leave City (Furniture), because they’re like a family to me,” Jones said. “When I found out they were coming into this area and were explaining the things they were doing as far as showroom size, the amount of work that was going to go into it and how challenging it would be, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.”

Hermida added that the Orlando market continues to grow, and he and his co-manager are excited to introduce Central Floridians to the City Furniture culture.

“It’s a nice city to be in, with all the growth,” Hermida said. “We wanted to move to a nice city for our families, too. … It’s a city where, since we’re based in South Florida, not a lot of people know what City Furniture is. When we open stores in new regions, it’s not only about selling furniture and making money. We always like the fact that we’re creating jobs and connecting with the community. That’s part of our purpose as a company. …Our motto is ‘to enrich people’s lives and make the world a better place.’”

City Furniture sells everything from furniture and mattresses to

décor and home accents. Brands include Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines, Simmons Beautyrest, Tempur-Pedic, Austin, Harley, Durham and Bernhardt.

“What I like to say is when you come in this store, if you’re looking for something and don’t find it, you’re probably going to have to special order it, because we have a lot to choose from,” Jones said.

And if you’re dropping by on your way home from work or planning to spend time looking for the perfect piece for your home, drinks are always an option at the KC Café and Wine Bar inside the showroom.

“I think we’re the only furniture store with a wine bar,” Hermida said. “We serve Starbucks coffee, wine and beer, and it’s all about the customer experience. The brick-and-mortar stores need to have the customer experience because online sales are growing.”

But above all, the company and its employees live by their motto.

“We’re part of the community,” Jones said. “We’re a furniture store, and that’s fine. We have a warehouse and that’s fine, we do same-day delivery — that’s great.

But we’re also a part of the community.”

3300 block of Daniels Road.

Petit theft. At about 8:10 p.m., a law-enforcement officer responded to the big-box retailer because of a reported shoplifting incident. According to the police report, employees provided the officer with a physical description of the male suspect, who allegedly selected a glue used for wood and a Gorilla-brand glue in the hardware department, concealed the items and then suddenly ran to the exit of the store, where he was stopped by employees. The suspect initially pretended to cooperate and walk back into the store with the employees but then fled the store in a sprint.

Employees informed the officer of the general direction the suspect went. Assisting police officers found an individual matching the provided description near a Cracker Barrel. The individual was identified as the suspect, arrested and charged with resisting a merchant and petit theft.

Stoneybrook West Parkway.

DUI. At about 11:15 p.m., a police officer saw a vehicle approach the traffic light at Stoneybrook West Parkway and County Road 535 at a high rate of speed and fail to stop behind the white stop bar, nearly striking the police officer’s vehicle.

According to the police report, the driver’s vehicle also failed to maintain its lane of travel and nearly struck a cement wall dividing Stoneybrook West Parkway and State Road 429.

The driver then overcorrected and swerved the opposite way

across two lanes of traffic, leading the police officer to suspect the driver was impaired or in need of medical assistance. The officer conducted a traffic stop and requested official documentation from the driver, but the driver instead provided a receipt for an oil change from a vehiclemaintenance shop. When asked for proof of insurance, the driver then showed the officer a photo of his driver’s license on his cellphone. At this time, the officer requested the driver exit the vehicle. The driver stumbled while exiting and spontaneously uttered, “I don’t even drink,” before any questions were asked. The driver consented to perform exercises intended to gauge his level of sobriety, but he did not perform them adequately.

According to a police report, the officer was advised en route to the scene that two suspects were exiting the store, and one of them was in possession of a pair of scissors. Upon arrival, the officer detained the two suspects and removed the scissors. According to an employee, the two suspects were seen using the scissors to remove a Playstation 4 controller secured to a peg hook in the electronics department. The two then concealed the item in the men’s clothing department and walked out of the store without paying. The controller costs about $46, the report added.

Questions to Ask Before Selecting a Health Insurance Plan

By Melissa Kincaid, Florida Blue Center Director It’s the time of year when many of us select our health insurance plans for next year. Determining which plan is right for you and your family can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Here are some questions to ask to help you evaluate your options:

receive financial assistance from the federal government to lower their monthly payments. Approximately 1 million uninsured people in Florida are eligible for financial assistance and are not taking advantage of it, so don’t assume you do not qualify.

What is the total cost?

You also may be able to save money based on which doctor you select. Florida Blue members get unlimited $0 visits to their primary care doctor at Sanitas Medical Centers, which are opening eight new locations in Seminole, Orange and Osceola counties. Sanitas also offers online and mobile chats with a doctor 24/7 at no additional charge for Florida Blue members.

The amount you pay each month is only one part of the total cost of a health plan. Make sure you understand how much you are responsible for paying when you need medical services. Do you have to meet a deductible before your insurance begins to pay? Do you have a copay or coinsurance that you’ll be responsible for when you go to the doctor or pharmacy?

Also, think about how frequently you may need medical services. Are you pretty healthy and only have an occasional minor illness or injury?

Or, do you have a condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure or long-term illness that may require more frequent medical care? This will help you put together an estimate of how much you’ll pay overall throughout the year.

Are my doctors and medications covered?

Confirm if any doctors you see are in the health plan’s network as well as which hospitals are in the network. If you see a doctor outside the network, you’ll end up paying more and may be responsible for the full amount. Also, if you take prescription medications on a regular basis, make sure they are covered by the plan and find out how much they’ll cost you.

Some Florida Blue plans also include a member rewards program where you can earn money to lower your monthly payments or receive gifts cards.

Where can I get help?

You’re not alone. Our staff at the Florida Blue Centers in Winter Park Villages and the Clermont Wal-Mart can walk you through your options, explain the total costs and help you apply for financial assistance.

If you can’t make it to a Florida Blue Center, we have 4,500 agents across the state who can also assist you. You can find one in your neighborhood at FloridaBlue.com.

Melissa Kincaid is the director of the Florida Blue Center in Winter Park Village and the Clermont Wal-Mart. The Florida Blue Centers are open seven days a week during open enrollment to assist Floridians in understanding their health care options.

Visit FloridaBlue.com/Centers or call the Center to make an appointment to receive face-to-face assistance with your health plan needs.

Can I get discounts or financial assistance?

Individuals and families enrolling in health insurance through the Marketplace (sometimes called Obamacare) may be eligible to

that seeks to officially create a backyard chicken program.

The commission first implemented a temporary backyard chicken program in April 2016 that expired in December 2017. The pilot program allowed the city to grant up to 25 temporary permits allowing residents who live on single-family lots to keep up to four chickens in their backyard.

The pilot program resulted in a total of seven applications and five issued permits, Community Development Director Steve Pash informed commissioners during the meeting.

Because of the program’s success, Pash recommended the city move forward on establishing the regulations as a permanent program that can be amended later, if the need arises.

The intent of the program is to give residents living on singlefamily properties in select zoning areas the option to engage in backyard food production through the keeping and raising of up to four chickens to produce eggs solely for the property owners’ consumption.

The selling and slaughter of chickens, the selling of eggs and the breeding of chickens for commercial purposes is prohibited by the proposed ordinance. Additional regulations include the size, space requirements and condition of the chicken coop enclosures.

“We’ve had absolutely no issues with it, so we’re now recommending that those same regulations be put into the Code (of Ordinances),” Pash said.

Assuming it does not violate any

IN OTHER NEWS n City commissioners approved the second reading of Ordinance 18-25, which amends certain sections of the city’s Code of Ordinances concerning wetlands, wetland jurisdictional limit determinations, uses allowed in wetlands, and wetland buffer yard requirements. n The commission authorized the award of a $50,000 contract to RedZone Robotics Inc., to take on the project of assessing the condition of the city’s sewer pipes using self-operating sewer-inspection robots. n City leaders approved a $278,244 purchase of a new automated side-load garbage truck from Nextran Truck Sales and a $220,528 purchase of a new Tymco Street Sweeper from Container Systems and Equipment Inc with monies from the Florida Sheriff’s Association & Florida Association of Counties Contract.

applicable HOA rules, residents living in a detached, single-family property zoned R-1A, R-1, R-1B, R-2, R-4, R-5, or PUD are eligible to apply for the permit, which costs $50.

The city will issue no more than 25 permits, which will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis.

However, if a resident chooses to leave the program, the city will be allowed to issue a permit to another qualified applicant.

Applicants will need to prove they meet program requirements and display proof they have successfully completed a class on the care and raising of chickens at either the Orange County Agricultural Extension Service or the University of Florida Extension Office.

Starting Friday, Nov. 16, Dragonfly Studio 129 will kick off a series of monthly cabaret shows in its downtown Ocoee location.

Dragonfly Studio & Productions, which opened in March, doubles as a private music teaching studio and performance venue/rehearsal space for aspiring thespians and musicians to hone their talents.

The studio is both owned and operated by award-winning composer Elaine Pechacek, a Winter Garden resident from New York who gave music and voice lessons out of her own home for 17 years before moving into a commercial space.

“There’s such a need for a little creative venue like this that doesn’t cost a fortune,” Pechacek said. “So it just made sense for me to say, ‘OK, yes, I’m making a teaching space, but let me also make it a performance space, because then I can rent it out to people who are trying to start new projects or trying to start their own new shows but can’t afford a huge 100-seat venue.’ Because, frankly, they’re likely not going to make the money back.

“So sometimes, they just don’t do it at all,” she said. “So my heart’s aim is really about supporting the arts community and giving them a place to start.

That’s what I always tell people: This is your place to fail and then try again.”

Notice is hereby given that public hearings will be held by the City Commission of the City of Winter Park, Florida, on Monday, November 26, 2018, at 3:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter in the Commission Chambers of City Hall, 401 Park Avenue, South, to consider the following:

Spreading its wings The desire to have a place that serves as an incubator for creativity and training ground for young performers is why Pechacek decided to launch the upcoming cabaret series, all of which will be cast via open auditions, she said.

The title of the 2019 monthly cabaret series, produced by Ashley Van Kirk and Lily E. Garnett, is “Celebrate? Don’t Mind If I Do!” The cabarets, which will have a modern twist with a light-hearted tone, will be based on different national days and obscure holidays that many don’t often celebrate or pay attention to, Pechacek said.

“It’s going to be a very fresh take on what a cabaret is,” she said. “There’s this fresh, new idea of a cabaret that’s not so much about one individual, but about six or more performers singing about contemporary subjects more relevant to today’s society,” Pechacek said.

Fourteen performers will grace the stage this Friday for the first of the performances, titled “Life. A Cabaret!” One of those performers is Windermere resident Maddie Lane, 23, who will be singing “On My Own” from the Broadway musical “Les Misérables.”

“Elaine is amazing, because when I started singing with Elaine, she started teaching me about all the different parts of the voice, and other teachers I’ve had would just give me a song and tell me to sing,” Lane said. “But the voice is such an intricate instru-

Eleven different members of the Lions’ football team were recognized as part of the 2018 FACA All-District 11 (1A-4A) team. The Lions — who are 8-2 and in the playoff hunt — landed five players on the first team and four on the second team.

Despite a 16-0 defeat at the hands of No. 1 Wekiva, West Orange punter Colton Scharfeld showed off his strong boot on Friday night. In his last game as a Warrior, Scharfeld punted six times for 228 yards — with a long of 51 yards.

Along with his average of 38 yards per punt.

TROY HERRING SPORTS EDITOR

O

ut on the softball diamond is where Shelby Forester thrives, and this day was no exception.

As he looked toward the scoreboard in right field, he took his place in the batter’s box and dipped into his stance.

The first couple of pitches sailed below his knees for balls, but this next pitch was his.

With the ball approaching in what feels like slow motion, Forester lowered his hands and drove the ball deep into the outfield — hightailing it to second.

The next batter brought him in, and the Seminole softball team picked up the big victory during the Special Olympics Florida State Fall Classic at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

“I love what I do, and I’ve been doing it almost all my life — almost for 10 seasons,” Forester said. “Out here, it’s a different ballgame. I want to win my medal, I want to have fun with all my coaches, and then I want to win for my beautiful family. But I’m honoring two of my best friends who passed away last year. That’s the reason I’m out here enjoying myself.”

West Orange volleyball season comes to an end Despite a loss to Oviedo in the Class 9A regional final, the Warriors had another successful season on the court.

TROY HERRING SPORTS EDITOR

Few programs have dominated in volleyball quite like West Orange and Oviedo, so it’s no surprise that the Class 9A regional final Tuesday, Nov. 6, at West Orange would be a slugfest.

Unfortunately for the No. 3-seeded Warriors (22-7, 2-0), their time in the playoffs ran out as they fell in a 3-1 loss (25-12, 20-25, 25-23, 25-18) to the No. 2-seeded

Lions (26-4, 4-0) in a rivalry that has been building for the last three years.

“It’s a battle of two good teams, and unfortunately, just one can win,” said Warriors head coach Roberto Santasofia. “It was a good match; I just don’t think we played our best. And like I’ve said before, when you play teams like that, you have to play your best.”

Abi Holland

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17

As a senior captain on the West Orange varsity cheer squad, Abi Holland is only in her second year of cheerleading. But she hopes to take her talents to either FSU or USF after she graduates in the spring.

Before then, Holland will enjoy cheering on the Warriors on the basketball court while participating in competition season.

How long have you been cheering?

I started cheer last year. I did gymnastics up until my sophomore year, then I got injured, and then I started cheer when I was a junior.

So what got you interested in doing cheerleading?

It (cheerleading) incorporates some of the same things like tumbling. But actually who got me into cheer is the other captain Livy (Correa) — her mom made me try out.

THE BASICS YEAR: Senior SPORT: Cheerleading YEARS CHEERING: Two years FAVORITE SPORT TO CHEER FOR: Football

music; I just feel like it’s just relaxing.

What has been your favorite thing about cheering?

I just feel like we always — wherever we go — have a big spirit about us. We just kind of bring the fun wherever.

What is your favorite sport to be on the sidelines for, and why?

Football, for sure. A lot of fans come out, and it’s just electric — especially for home games.

Are there any other sports you enjoy?

I’ve always been into running — I run all the time.

I’ve never officially done cross country or track, but I just run. If you have a good location and

When you’re not cheering or doing homework, what do you like doing in your spare time?

I go to the beach a lot. Honestly, I just hang out with people on my team. I’m really into going to school events — I’m in SGA, so I’m really involved with volleyball games and stuff like that.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

I would probably go back to Arizona, because my family lives out there. It’s really pretty out there, and there are so many mountains. I’m obsessed with mountains.

If you could have anything to eat right now, what would it be?

I would say Jersey Mike’s — you can get anything there, and it just tastes so good.

Do you have any plans for after you graduate?

I actually plan to cheer in college, so that’s a big thing. I’m hoping either FSU or USF — I’m inbetween.

They both just have really strong all-girl teams, and I just really love Tallahassee and Tampa. I don’t know what I’m going to major in yet, but I plan to go to a four-year university.

— TROY HERRING

To say Forester was enjoying himself would be a gross understatement. When he wasn’t at bat, he was jumping and hollering — rooting on his friends and pushing them to give their best efforts. Despite Seminole being up by more than 10 runs, Forester’s excitement made it feel like the World Series.

While Forester helped lead his team to that win on Friday, Nov. 9, his mother, Debbie, and brother, Sean, were on hand to cheer him on from under the shade of a tree that sat right next to the field.

For Debbie, seeing her son enjoying his sport means the world to her — especially given the difficulty he had a few years back.

“He used to play baseball when he was younger, but it was only with the Miracle League, and it was only a couple of little innings,” she said. “He had a rare disease and then he needed a liver transplant — so he couldn’t be out in the heat and sweat. He had the transplant, and Orange County didn’t have a team. I contacted them and they told me about Seminole County — and

he loves the game so much that I said, ‘OK,’ it’s quite a distance from our house, but I go there for him to play every weekend.

He loves it.”

Forester had been dealing with a urea cycle disorder — a metabolic disorder that saw his body convert food into protein — that caused brain damage.

So in 2007, doctors approached Debbie about a liver transplant.

They said the procedure had shown promising signs in helping people dealing with urea cycle disorder. They also told her it would help him live a longer life.

“He’s not had one problem (since),” Debbie said. “I had never heard of it — it was rare — but they finally figured it out, and he’s doing great.”

Although it was a scary time for the family, there was something that came out of Forester’s disorder that plays a big role in his life now — playing and watching sports.

Forester loves to talk about his favorite baseball player — Johnny Damon — and especially his playing time on the New York Yankees.

But the real outward expression of love for sports comes

staple of postseason play in the state — the Warriors have faced off against the Lions at some point during the playoffs over the last few years.

In 2016, the Warriors fell in the regional final to the eventual state champs, while last year, the Warriors met and defeated the Lions to win the state title.

For the program’s four seniors — Mackenzie Hyatt, Caroline Grant, Torey Baum and Kaeli Crews — Tuesday’s game was the last time they will dress in the orange and blue of WOHS. “Torey Baum — she was our libero this season — what a great player,” Santasofia said. “She’s going to play Division 1. The other (starter) was Kaeli Crews — Crews was phenomenal this year. She took over and was a great leader.”

If it’s any consolation for his team, since last Tuesday, Oviedo has marched on to the state championship game, where they will take on Palm Beach Gardens

Friday, Nov. 16.

Looking at the season as a whole, the Warriors built their success on adversity.

The Warriors jumped on opponents quickly and often as they pounced to a 12-0 start that saw them drop only five sets out of 35. In fact, the Warriors did not drop a single set until their fifth game of the season against Wekiva.

But about halfway through the season, the Warriors hit a rough patch during a seven-game stint at the Nike Tournament of Champions out in Phoenix, Arizona. During the two-day tournament, the Warriors picked up only two wins and went 2-7.

“That tournament helped us,” Santasofia said. “You need to lose some in order for you to learn and get better — that was part of the process.”

The Warriors finished their year winning eight of 10 games — including the district tournament and the playoffs.

A large part of that success came from the production of

a number of players who have been the team’s biggest assets.

Attacking-wise, few players go hard at the net quite like junior Taylor Head — whose 360 kills is a team best. Head also accounts for a team best in aces (44), as well as second best in blocks (20) and digs (354).

The Warriors also had outstanding play from Crews (296 kills, 174 digs), Italia Bollo (200 digs, 166 assists, 22 aces) and Baum (360 digs) who, along with the rest of the team, helped make the Warriors a dominating force throughout the year.

Although some Santasofia’s big-name p l aye rs a re graduating, the first-year head coach said there still are players to watch. With such a talented roster, the main objective now for Santasofia and the team is to keep learning.

“Our team goals are always to improve and get better and do better than what we did last season,” Santasofia said. “Every day counts. What you do extra counts. That’s the mentality.”

when he is out on the field or on the court. Along with softball, Forester plays a number of other sports, including basketball, bowling, track and swimming.

And he’s competed in all of them at the state and national levels for the Special Olympics.

As a multi-medal winning athlete at different levels, as well as a member of the Renegades — a West Orange-based adult fiveon-five basketball team — there has to be a secret to his game.

For Forester, it all starts on the individual level.

“I put a lot of work in the weight room, and I work out on my days off every Monday,” Forester said. “My body is filled with lots of water and lots of Gatorade, and then to that I started my healthy diet for lunch and dinner, so that’s how I prepare my body.”

Above all, Forester said spending time with his friends and teammates is the real gift.

They give him the chance to better himself as a player — and vice-versa.

“It’s a lot of fun,” Forester said. “I like the coaches, I like the players, and I like everybody out here. They’re always good to me.”

West Orange season comes to an end in 16-0 loss to Wekiva A

ll good things, unfortunately, eventually come to an end.

After missing out on the playoffs last year, West Orange (7-4, 2-1) came into this season with one goal in mind: Make the postseason.

The Warriors did just that, but it ended up being a short trip as they tumbled out of the Class 8A playoffs in a tough 16-0 loss to top-seeded Wekiva Friday, Nov. 9.

“We prepared hard, we practiced really hard, and the kids were ready to go,” said West Orange head coach Bob Head. “We just had a really hard time moving the ball. Hats off to their defense — their defense is stout and tough, and we just couldn’t move the ball.

They whooped us up front.”

The Wekiva defense was as dominant as it has been all season, as the Mustangs (10-1, 2-1) suffocated the Warriors at every turn of the game with little remorse. The stats show just how impressive a performance it was for the Mustangs. On the Warriors’ first six possessions of the game, they were forced to punt each time. That trend was broken in the third, when Warriors QB Elijah Stimmell was picked off by Wekiva corner Malcolm Green for the only turnover of the game.

The last two drives of the game — which saw freshman QB Julian Calvez come in — didn’t end any better. The Mustangs’ defense held the Warriors on an attempt to convert a fourth down before blocking a punt on the Warriors’ final drive.

Altogether, the Warriors picked up only 66 total yards of offense (59 through the air and seven on the ground) on 30 total plays.

“We just had a really hard time moving the ball. Hats off to their defense — their defense is stout and tough, and we just couldn’t move the ball. They whooped us up front.”

— Coach Bob Head

WEEK 13 PREVIEW 7:30 p.m. Nov. 16

Darrell Harding fought for the ball as he and the West Orange offense looked to go downfield.

CLASS 2A, REGION 2: NO. 3 ZEPHYRHILLS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY AT NO. 2 FOUNDATION ACADEMY

A big part of the headache for the Warriors came from the Wekiva D-line, which spent most of the game camped out in the Warriors’ backfield.

By the time Stimmell had the ball in his hand, someone was already in his face. On multiple occasions, that was senior DE/ DT Norell Pollard (two sacks, four tackles) or senior DE/OLB Erion Lowe (one sack, three tackles).

“It hurts,” Head said. “We have some great seniors, and I love them to death, and I just wish we could have given a better game.”

If there’s a silver lining to take from Friday night’s game, it’s that the Warriors’ defense — despite giving up 389 total yards of offense — held its own.

Outside of two touchdowns in the second quarter and a field goal in the third, the Warriors’ defense kept the Mustangs scoreless in the first and fourth quarter. The defense forced three punts, two turnovers on downs and watched a field-goal attempt go wide.

“I would say this was the best season overall — No. 1 as a team, and No. 2 by myself,” said senior wide receiver and Duke University commit Darrell Harding. “I played the best I’ve played since I’ve been at West Orange, and it’s mostly because of the team that I have

When Foundation Academy (8-2, 2-0) takes on Zephyrhills (7-3, 1-0) Friday, Nov. 16, it will have been three weeks since the Lions last took the field to play a game of football. After beating West Oaks Academy on Oct. 26, the Lions’ following game against Carrollwood Day was cancelled due to weather, then the Lions enjoyed another week off because of a bye. Now, they take on a Warriors team that defeated St. Francis Catholic in a 55-0 blowout in the first round of the playoffs.

The Warriors’ offense is led by senior running back Javion Hanner — a speedy back who has racked up 1,021 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 95 carries. For Foundation to move on to the next round, the Lions must find a way to shut down Hanner — who has six games of 100-plus yards.

around me and the coaching staff coming together.

“The atmosphere was just different from the past couple of years,” he said. “Just coming together from what we’ve accomplished, I can’t be mad — he (Head) brought us back to playoffs.”

For the team’s seniors, Friday night’s game was the last time that many of them will walk on the field as players. It’s a moment Head has to experience many

times as a coach, but there is always the solace in knowing the program is in better shape than the year before thanks to his seniors.

“Our seniors are incredible,” Head said. “You have guys like Darrell Harding, you have guys like Garrett Clark and Nasir Carter and Tywon Little who have been a part of our program from the very beginning for all four years. What they have done for our school and our team is unbelievable.”
