An exhibit of 40 of the best photographs taken along the Lake Apopka North Shore will be set up at the Winter Garden Library starting Jan. 31. AMY QUESINBERRY COMMUNITY EDITOR
Every drive through reveals something different: a blue Belted Kingfisher, playful otters or a family of raccoons, a bobcat, a stunning orange sunset. The Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive, open since May 2015, has garnered quite a following, and some folks make the drive weekly, hoping to catch a glimpse of flora and fauna they haven’t seen before. The Facebook page has become a popular stop, with close to 2,500 followers looking to see the latest photos posted.
A collection of these photographs will be on display in an art exhibit Jan. 31 through March 3 at the Winter Garden Library, 805 E. Plant St. Ten of the photos from 26 amateur and professional photographers were selected by three local photographers for an exhibit at Apopka City Hall last fall. The remaining 15 were chosen by Phoebe Gonsalves, who approached the library about sharing the exhibit. Exhibit guests can see a variety of wildlife, such as wading birds and songbirds, butterflies, a coyote, a bobcat and, of course, alligators. SEE LAWD PAGE 4
Seaplane base proposed on Lake Apopka
Ocoee and Apopka residents have mixed feelings for a seaplane base proposed on Lake Apopka near their homes. GABBY BAQUERO STAFF WRITER ORANGE COUNTY Although the segment of Lake Apopka’s eastern shore at 3812 Walker Road once hosted a successful fish camp, it has since fallen into disuse after the lake’s bass population died off from pollution. But now, with news of a proposal to build a seaplane base at the small 1.24-acre site nestled in unincorporated Orange County between north Ocoee and south Apopka, surrounding homeowners are both optimistic and somewhat wary.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 2017
BRITTANY GAINES STAFF WRITER
On Jan. 24, Winter Garden will hold a special election to choose the District 3 city commissioner. The former District 3 commissioner, Bobby Olszewski, resigned from commission to pursue election as Orange County District 1 commissioner, but lost the race to Oakland resident and businesswoman Betsy VanderLey. Olszewski’s term officially closed Dec. 6. Here are the three candidates who are running for District 3 city commissioner. Contact Brittany Gaines at bgaines@orangeobserver.com.
n MEET HAROLD BOULER
n MEET MARK MACIEL
n MEET PATRICIA ANGRY
Bouler is a U.S. Air Force veteran who has lived in District 3 for the last 12 years. He has been married to Joy Stevenson Bouler for nine years, and the couple has four children together. He has served with several organizations and boards, including the West Orange Habitat for Humanity Board, West Orange Heritage Foundation Advisory Board, Community Action Board of Orange County, Winter Garden Rotary Club, Code Enforcement Board of Winter Garden and Community Redevelopment Advisory Board and also served as the Community Development Corporation East Winter Garden vice president.
Maciel moved to Florida nearly 20 years ago and has lived in District 3 since then with his wife, Justine, and three children. He served in the National Guard for 32 years and has been involved in real estate as a planner and land-acquisition coordinator since moving to Florida. Maciel has served with several organizations and boards, including, Roper YMCA board, East Winter Garden Boys and Girls Club Planning Committee and Winter Garden’s Planning and Zoning Board and served as past president of the Westfield HOA board.
Angry is a lifelong resident of Winter Garden and worked for 22 years as a bookkeeper. She has been involved in several organizations during her lifetime, including the Winter Garden Housing Authority, Concerned Citizens of Winter Garden, East Winter Garden Neighborhood Alliance, Maxey Community Center Advisory Board and the Retirees of Orange County Head Start.
Q: WHY DO YOU WANT TO SERVE AS DISTRICT 3 COMMISSIONER? A: In many ways my life has been about service — ser-
years but never on that side of the table. The citizens asked me to run because they know what I stand for. They know the work that I’ve done, and they wanted me to continue.
Q: WHY DO YOU WANT TO SERVE AS DISTRICT 3 COMMISSIONER? A: I love the city of Winter Garden and enjoy serving the
people I represent. I want to continue to help improve the quality of life for residents in this historic small town.
vice to my country with 32 years in the National Guard, service to my family and service to my community. Winter Garden is unquestionably one of the best and most vibrant communities in Florida to live and work. I want to keep it that way.
Q: WHY DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE THE BEST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE FOR THIS OFFICE? A: Having already served two terms as commissioner

part of the fabric of a community. I am a husband, father, business owner, military veteran, board member of the Roper YMCA, planning committee member for the East Winter Garden Boys and Girls Club and six-year board member of Winter Garden’s Planning and Zoning Board. Normally, I’m a “behind-the-scenes team player” and have no political ambitions other than keeping Winter Garden great.
make and keep Winter Garden as the best little city in the state of Florida and the country. That includes creating ways that all residents can participate in the building of some of our new developments, creating job opportunities, keeping our taxes low while improving the infrastructure on the east side of Winter Garden and partnering with Orange County. There is also still the need to address the issue of substandard housing in our district as well as our city and the development of the Plant Street corridor down to the 429.
Q: WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS IF ELECTED? A: Reduce crime: We need to develop a layered ap-
Q: WHAT DO YOU FEEL ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES NOW THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED? A: For the city, keep moving forward in continuing to
Q: WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS IF ELECTED? A: Keep an open dialog between the law-enforcement
community and the residents of the district, thus keeping the crime rate low and getting it even lower. Make sure that all residents who want to, would have a chance to enjoy what this great city has to offer. We have an historic community - “East Winter Garden” - so I want to make sure this community continues and improves as the rest of Winter Garden has done.
proach to these issues. I would facilitate programs between city and community leaders that address several of the elements that cultivate problems. Improve traffic flow: There are several areas in the city that need attention and execution of proposed fixes has been slow. The two most pressing traffic issues I see in District 3 are the Roberson and Windermere intersection and the West Orange High School traffic congestion. Invest in East Winter Garden: There are several infrastructure and community projects already identified, but execution has been slow. I will continue to meet with community leaders to bring city resources to bare on these ongoing issues. Keep taxes low: Growth can bring unwanted tax burdens. West Colonial Drive is an untapped resource to support our way of life. I will seek to continue the improvement of our main commercial thoroughfare in order to attract quality users.
Q: WHY DO YOU WANT TO SERVE AS DISTRICT 3 COMMISSIONER? A: So I can make a difference. I’ve been doing this for
Q: WHY DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE THE BEST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE FOR THIS OFFICE? A: I will do what’s needed to do. I’m more attuned to the
people. I know what the people on this side want. I think they feel safe in talking to me and letting me know what their needs are. I’m here with them. I’m not a shirt-andtie person — I’m a jeans and T-shirt person. I get down and dirty with them. I’ve worked in this community for 48 years and have been able to get things accomplished. Q: WHAT DO YOU FEEL ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES NOW THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED? A: The No. 1 issue I would say is housing. You need fam-
ily stability before you can do anything else. If you don’t have family, there’s no need for education, for jobs. You’ve got to keep the people here and offer them something to stay here. There’s a lot of things that need to happen here, but if we can get (housing) figured out then everything else will fall into place. It all ties together.
Q: WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS IF ELECTED? A: Bridge the gap between the different communities to
make this city one whole, ideal place to live. East, west, north, south — all the districts tied together for one goal. We need a complete circle.

LAWD members share their sightings
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.”
WHAT IS THE LAKE APOPKA WILDLIFE DRIVE? The Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive is a one-way 11mile journey through an extraordinary wildlife habitat and restoration project gaining national attention as a huge destination for birders and wildlife and nature lovers. A drive on the Lake Apopka North Shore begins at Lust Road and ends on Jones Road in Orange County. The drive is open Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and federal holidays between sunrise and sunset. The Lake Apopka North Shore’s 20,000 acres is a magnet for migrating, overwintering and resident birds and a habitat for other wildlife like alligators, bobcats, coyotes, otters, turtles, snakes, raccoons, opossums and even a bear. The extraordinary bird diversity, with more than 360 species recorded, is the highest identified bird species diversity of any inland site in North America.

Gonsalves, a Winter Garden resident and one of the photographers represented in the display, founded the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive Facebook group a year ago. Its purpose was to give nature lovers a chance to share their sightings and adventures on the drive and in the parks that surround Lake Apopka. “We are a different group, as my vision was to teach the community, so I recruited the best experts around on flora and fauna, conservation and restoration of the lake,” Gonsalves said. “We have all kinds of birding and butterfly experts, biologists, naturalists, an alligator expert and photography professionals who all chime in and help us ID things and teach us.” Members also have started posting their “Live on the Drive” adventures to heighten the experience of being there. “LAWD members are passionate, sometimes rounding the 11-mile drive multiple times in a day,” Gonsalves said. “It’s
a little slice of paradise in their backyards. But, it is not just local folks; numbers are growing with out-of-state members and even international members. Gonsalves has been taking photographs since she was a teenager, carrying her camera everywhere she went. She said that on one of her first visits to the wildlife drive, she captured a picture of a bobcat, surrounded by Spanish Needle, snoozing on a berm in the sun. Below it, on the water’s edge, was a large alligator. The LAWD group is also displaying photos through May 19 at Harry P. Leu Gardens and in May and June at the Orlando Public Library. To join the group, go to facebook.com/groups/lakeapopkawd/. “The group has helped excite the community about the LAWD, getting out and enjoying nature, and learning about the flora, fauna, conservation of the wildlife, environment and the restoration of Lake Apopka.” Gonsalves said.

Ocoee police report increase in counterfeit bills A sudden increase in counterfeit bills has impacted several local businesses. STAFF WRITER OCOEE There’s been a recent uptick in reports of counterfeit bills in Ocoee in the past few months, and the local Secret Service has been alerted. The Ocoee Police Department has received 10 reports of counterfeit money since October — eight of which occurred in December alone. Ten reports in a three-month time span is outside the norm for the city, which usually receives an inconsequential amount of reports a year, said Ocoee Police Deputy Chief Steve McCosker. “It’s extremely unusual for that to happen. ... We might get a few a year, but in a city our size, we don’t get that many,” McCosker said. So far, affected businesses include Kangaroo Express, Sally’s Beauty Supply, Pizza Hut and Franco’s Pizza. One woman was unknowingly given a fake $10 bill from Walmart when she received

cash back on a card purchase. The use of lower bills as fake money is relatively uncommon for counterfeiters, but all the incidences have involved lower bills. This increase has prompted Ocoee police to post a public safety alert on their social media accounts advising businesses to be extra careful during financial transactions. “One of the things that they definitely should do is to slow down during their transactions and take the time to actually look at the money to make sure it’s a true representation of U.S. currency,” McCosker advised. “If someone was paying attention and looking more closely, they more than likely wouldn’t have passed.” If you encounter a counterfeit bill, note where or from whom you received it, place the bill in a marked envelope and alert the local authorities.

HOW TO SPOT COUNTERFEIT BILLS n Check the serial numbers. The serial numbers should be the same color as the treasury seal, and there should be no irregular spacing between the characters. n Use a bright light source to check for the appropriate watermark on the right side of the bill. Sometimes, counterfeiters will reprint higher bills from lower bills, so the watermark should match the portrait on the bill. n Use a color-shifting ink pen that is specially made for detecting counterfeit bills. The ink changes to a certain color when it detects chemicals used in real U.S money. n Check for the vertical security strips using a UV light. The security strip is located on different locations and glows different colors depending on the bill.

Richard Hensch, who already operates a seaplane base on Lake Prairie in Altamonte Springs, is the applicant for the proposal, which is in its initial stages. He is asking Orange County to rezone the property from retail commercial and single-family residential to a planned development. Approval of his request could pave the way for a seaplane base that he intends to use for fueling, docking and ramping, maintenance and storage of seaplanes. He also aims to provide training courses, rides and tours in seaplanes for hire. The idea, which was discussed in a community meeting Nov. 14, 2016, had both supporters and opposers. Those who support it, including Ocoee District 1 Commissioner John Grogan, believe the development could bring a much-needed boost to tourism in the area if it is successful. “I think it’s going to work well,” Grogan said. “I’m kind of happy that the people do accept it and also happy that it might bring tourism. There’s a lot of good things, I believe, that might come out of this. It might bring more
awareness to Lake Apopka, bring in more people to Apopka, hopefully maybe start up some fish camps again. I’m hoping that this is the beginning of a good future for the lake.” Grogan heard about the proposal from the homeowners association of Forestbrooke Estates and Westyn Bay, who were initially concerned about noise. Their concerns dissipated once Grogan arranged for Orange County District 2 Commissioner Bryan Nelson to answer residents’ questions in a meeting at Ocoee City Hall. An architect involved with the project explained the seaplanes would not be operating after dark. A community meeting held by Orange County also saw some mixed opinions, said Jason Sorensen, an Orange County senior planner. Most of the concerns regarded onsite fueling, noise and potential fuel spillage. Apopka resident Tonya Daniels echoed some of those concerns — specifically noise — as she resides directly behind the proposed development and has a 6-monthold baby. However, the preliminary plans have not been completely fleshed
out, and they have yet to be subjected to the routine scrutiny from county staff, said John Geiger from Orange County’s Environmental Protection Division. Once all comments from staff are addressed, the proposal will move on to the county’s Development Review Committee, and Planning and Zoning Commission before it finally reaches the eyes of the Board of County Commissioners. The process, Geiger emphasized, usually results in multiple revisions to make sure the proposal’s plans are compliant with county and state codes. “Often the applicants go, ‘Oh, well we didn’t know that was a regulation,’” Geiger said. “So they go back and they change the plan. Citizens who sometimes watch these things start to get suspicious, they say, ‘Oh, look, they’re changing the plan.’ Well, that’s how the process works. And the applicant begins to understand the applicable regulations and they modify what they’re thinking about doing. So it’s an evolving process.” Contact Gabby Baquero at gbaquero@orangeobserver.com

Soon enough the “front door” to the city of Ocoee will boast a Tropical Smoothie and Burger Craft, along with various other restaurants and shops. The Green Village Shoppes will be located across from the West Oaks Mall at the intersection of Clarke Road and State Road 50. Developer Green Tree Development Group officially broke ground on the six-acre property Wednesday, Jan. 11. Upon completion Green Village will be composed of more than 100,000 square feet of commercial space, with restaurants, retailers and plaza shops among them. “We’re very excited because with everything that’s happening right now with the West Oaks Mall, Green Village will dovetail with the city’s other major expansion and downtown revitalization plans,” said Tim Green, CEO of Green Tree Development. “We’re definitely OCOEE

excited about getting some highend restaurants here and so forth.” So far, confirmed tenants include Burger Craft, Tropical Smoothie Cafe and Mattress One, all to be built on the Clarke Road side of the complex. Two sit-down restaurants will sit at the plaza entrance, with a cascading waterfall fountain flowing nearby. Ocoee Mayor Rusty Johnson said having new stores in the area will be beneficial to residents, not only due to expanded shopping options but also with picking up the tax base and, thus, helping to keep citizens’ taxes down. “Green Village Shoppes is the front door of Ocoee, this is where it starts at,” Green said. “We are committed to help bring the vision alive.” More tenants are to be named as development and construction come along. Currently Green Tree is working on clearing the land, which could be done by the end of February. Infrastructure and foundation will come next, with a goal of beginning building construction by this summer. “This is our heart, the city of Ocoee,” Johnson said at the groundbreaking. “These outlying areas are things we’ve got to do to bring in economic development for our town and keep things moving. We’re looking forward to it.”

Tropical Smoothie, Burger Craft, Mattress One and other shops and restaurants will soon serve Ocoee residents in a new shopping plaza.

RAVE OF THE WEEK I was having the worst day yesterday, and after losing my new phone in the Chili’s bathroom (noticing it two hours later) I thought it was only getting worse. A lovely lady returned my phone to the host stand! Anyone else would have kept it. I am so grateful there are still honest people in this world. Thank you stranger! - Taylor Towne
Vivian Hunt is almost always surrounded by children. She chats with them at the grocery store and at local restaurants. And, after retiring to Windermere with her husband, Tony, she decided to return to the classroom to teach etiquette. British natives Tony and Vivian moved from South Africa to Florida for retirement two years ago, but found the local mannerisms somewhat lacking. “We were staggered when we came here,” Tony said. “The manners and etiquette were terrible. We thought everyone was brought up the same way as we were in England, but they’re not.” The couple had owned three schools in South Africa, where Vivian taught for more than 30 years. Having attended a British finishing school as a young woman, manners and etiquette have always been her specialties. “I can take a child that has no idea (how to behave) and turn them around so they’re dabbing their mouth,” she said. In retirement, Vivian found an abundance of free time on her hands and she wondered if there was a need for manners and etiquette classes. So, the couple approached The First Academy in Orlando with the idea. They were told that if students

signed up for the class, they could teach it. Within one week, dozens of students signed up for the class. Realizing how great the interest was, the couple created the British Academy of Manners and Etiquette, and Vivian now teaches six-week-long classes to children of all ages. Her goal is to help prepare the children for life. “I want kids to have an advantage for life,” she said. “You can help any age group, but it’s the young children I want to give an advantage to.” SEE PAGE 11

“It’s not like any other play,” Pineiro said. “It’s ‘here’s their lives’ — and that’s the beauty of it.” Pineiro and her fellow cast members have also enjoyed working with a director who is a peer. “Him being one of the students, himself, it gives a good connection with everybody,” Pineiro said. In addition to their hard work on prodcution, cast members are diligently working to promote the play, inviting the general public to enjoy their performance. And, as opening night nears, it is a bittersweet time for the cast as they know their journey of hard work has almost reached its end. “(There has been) sweat, a little bit of blood and a few tears here and there,” Pineiro said, before adding, “I’m excited and at the same time nervous — this is my first show.” Contact Steven Ryzewski at sryzewski@orangeobserver.com.

Students from Ocoee High School will take to the stage this week to put on a performance of “Our Town” — Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama. Performances are scheduled to take place at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and admission is $10. The production is being directed by Willie Jones, a senior student at Ocoee, and it is his second time taking on the role of director. “It’s been nerve-wracking,” Jones said. “Every time you watch it, you want to make little, tiny changes and you have to tell yourself, ‘Nope — leave it, it works.’ You have to trust yourself.” Jones chose “Our Town” both for its economic efficiency — the threeact play famously has little to no set or props — and its unique way of reflecting on the lives of everyday citizens. That sentiment is shared by the cast of peers Jones has assembled, including senior Anagabriella Pineiro, who is playing Mrs. Webb.

tea at the Ritz-Carlton, where they showcase their newly cultivated manners. Although classes are offered to children of all ages, the best age to teach a child theses mannerisms is between ages 4 and 5. “That’s when you need to help them because they absorb everything,” Tony said. “Hopefully, it will continue into their teens and older.” For Vivian, the classes are a continuation of her lifelong love of working with children. The couple has two biological sons, adopted a son and daughter and has fostered more than 20 children over the years. “It’s all about the children,” she said.

Now, in addition to private lessons, Vivian is teaching students at the Holy Family Catholic School. She hopes that the skills she imparts to the students will be useful as they grow into adults and face things like job interviews and business meetings. Simple manners can be the difference between making an impression and getting ignored for a promotion, she said. Over the course of six weeks, the children learn politeness, manners, how to greet people, how to speak properly, appropriate eating habits, respect, eye contact, correct behavior, how to show appreciation and how to help out at home. “It’s not just about how to eat,” Tony said. “It’s about etiquette.” At the end of each course, the children are treated to an English

Cooking skills spared WWII vet from death AMY QUESINBERRY COMMUNITY EDITOR
When you like to cook, preparing three meals a day for 900 soldiers doesn’t feel like work. That’s precisely what Rupert “Frank” East did during his 18 months in the U.S. Army during World War II. And his passion for cooking likely saved his life. East, now 90 and living in Ocoee, had quit high school and was working on his family farm in Kentucky when he was drafted into the military in January 1945. After basic training at Camp Wolters, Texas, and then reporting to Fort Sheridan Army base in Illinois, East, ranked a technician fifth grade, was headed to Seattle. “Next thing I knew I was on a ship to Pearl Harbor,” East said. “I thought I was going to enjoy that trip on the ship; it was a big, big boat. I went through the mess hall and got my cup of coffee and took my first swig. At that moment the ship hit its first wave. I felt sick to my stomach, pushed back my food, and I was sick for 11 days. “I survived on O’Henry candy bars for 11 days,” he said.

TRAYWICK'S
Upon landing on Hawaii’s island of Oahu, the 18-year-old East and his fellow shipmates were tasked with learning advanced jungle training in the Philippines.
“I was with a 13th Replacement Depot, and we’d all fall out in the morning, and they’d call about 20 names, give them their gear, put them on the plane and fly them right into the Philippines,” East said. “They’d get killed yesterday, and they’d send more today. I was an 18-year-old boy from a farm, and I was scared to death.” This was the Battle of the Philippines, when the Americans and Filipinos fought to remove the Imperial Japanese forces occupying the Southeast Asian country. On a day that East can’t forget, a skin problem forced him to see a doctor, who told him that he could develop jungle rot if he went to the Philippines. So he was sent to cooking school instead. That day, however, all of the young men who boarded the plane for jungle training were killed, including many East had gone to high school with in Kentucky. East attended the Quartermasters Corps School for Bakers and Cooks at Schofield Barracks on the island of Oahu, and he graduated as a First Cook. After 18 months of cooking on Oahu, East was discharged, and he went home to Kentucky. He attempted to finish high school, but that didn’t last. Before long, he was again working on the farm with his father. He left the farm life for Chicago when he was about 22 to follow

A SETBACK
Last October, East came down with bronchitis and ended up in the hospital, bedridden for nearly a month. “They thought I wasn’t ever going to be able to come out of it,” he said. “My feet and legs were swollen so bad. I almost died.”
In the end, East was diagnosed with Stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and he is halfway through his chemotherapy treatments. A doctor’s visit last week indicated the cancer cells are diminishing.

He became an evangelist after his retirement in 1989, and he still shares God’s Word today with his second wife, Sharon.

A few years ago, they decided they were tired of the cold weather and moved permanently to Ocoee.

DANIELLE HENDRIX STAFF WRITER WINTER GARDEN For 15-year-old Winter Garden resident Bailey Ferrer, flipping, tumbling and soaring has been second nature for as long as she can remember. That’s because Bailey is an elite gymnast who has been competing in the sport since age 4. Lyn Ferrer, Bailey’s mom, has been a gymnastics coach for much of her life and is also a former gymnast herself. So, from the time Bailey was 15 months old, she was in the gym doing mommy-and-me classes. “When I was 6 I had to make a decision between gymnastics and softball. I figured out that I was pretty good at it (gymnastics) so that kept me going, and I fell more in love with it as I went on,” Bailey said. “Pretty good” is a bit of an understatement. Bailey qualified for elite gymnastics at age 11, and was offered a full-ride gymnastics scholarship to Louisiana State University when she was in eighth grade. Ferrer says that, to her knowledge, Bailey was the first eighth-

grader to commit to a college ever in the history of collegiate gymnastics. The offer came in 2014 after the P&G Championships, where just about every college in the nation had scouts present watching the gymnasts. Bailey’s top three programs had always been LSU, Oklahoma and Utah. She was getting offers from many colleges, but LSU ended up watching her
and told her former coach they wanted her to come check out the campus. “I didn’t know the seriousness of it then, but we went up and they offered me a scholarship,” Bailey said. “I’ve known the assistant coach since I was 8, and he and the head coach offered me and I said ‘yes’ right there.

The Apopka Blue Darters are in last place in Class 9A’s District 3 — a boys basketball district that also includes the West Orange Warriors, Wekiva Mustangs and Evans Trojans — with a 1-3 record within the four-team district so far this season. Though Darters head coach Scott Williams, who won a state championship in 1998 with Mount Dora, does not much like to lose, he actually doesn’t mind that his squad is in last place with two games remaining on its district slate. After all, maybe 9A-3 is just that good. “I’m okay if people say we’re the worse team in the district,” Williams said, noting that teams in 9A-3 SEE PAGE 18

Dedication key for young gymnast
SPONSORED BY MARK’S FLOORS
Casey Kenoyer Casey Kenoyer, a senior co-captain for the Foundation Academy competitive cheer team, received the 2017 Scholar Athlete Award at the Fellowship of Christian Cheerleaders National Christian Cheerleading Championships at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort Jan. 5-7. The team placed third in the competition.
What was the experience like competing at FCC Nationals? It was incredible — it was an amazing opportunity that we got to go to Nationals. This is only our second year having a competition team, so just the fact that we had that opportunity was really, really great. How does it feel to be recognized for your hard work as a cheerleader and in the classroom? It’s really exciting because I work really hard at school and cheer and trying to balance it all. It’s nice to be recognized and break that stereotype that cheerleaders are these ditzy airheads that don’t care about anything. All the cheerleaders I’ve met are all really hard working and they work at school. What’s the best advice you or the team has received from head coach Adrienne Pilz? She always pushes us to be our best and try our hardest. When we think we’re tired, she just pushes us to do it one more time. She teaches us to believe in ourselves and believe in others.

pus is absolutely amazing, they have a great team in gymnastics and they have what I think I’m going to study — sports psychology or sports commentating. I want to stay in the sports field forever.” But being elite and working so hard at the sport she loves came with a price. In January 2016, Bailey fractured three pars in her back from overuse. After the injury, she made the decision to switch gyms from Orlando Metro Gymnastics to Brandy Johnson’s Global Gymnastics Academy. Now that she is fully recovered, focusing on keeping her body healthy and injury-free has become one of her top priorities so she could go into LSU in 2019 ready to compete as an all-around gymnast.

ite and what is the most interesting thing you have learned about? I would have to say science is probably my favorite. I’m in AP Biology right now and I would say (the most interesting thing I have learned about is) genetics — that’s what we’re studying right now. It’s just very interesting to see how things are inherited and the traits that are passed down and just on a molecular level, the DNA and how everything works together.
PUTTING IN THE WORK
For Bailey and her family, life has always been quite different from the lives most teenagers lead. Getting to elite-level competition requires a substantial amount of time, practice, dedication and effort. The Ferrers moved to Florida five years ago to allow Bailey to focus on her gymnastics train-
Have you got your plans for college nailed down yet? I’m not sure where I’m going yet. I’ve gotten all my acceptances and I’m just waiting to figure it out. I’m going to major in nursing. Outside of competition cheerleading, do you enjoy cheering at Foundation Academy’s home football games? I love the atmosphere of Friday night football — having the crowd there and the fans. It’s just a whole lot of fun.
ing. She has also been homeschooled since first grade, which gives her the flexibility to both focus on training and keep up with her academics. Bailey takes courses through Florida Virtual School and spends her mornings doing schoolwork. Then she heads to train at Brandy Johnson’s in Clermont each day, Monday through Friday, for anywhere from five to five-and-one-half hours daily. “It takes a lot. I’ve given up a lot, I think, with the normal lifestyle — going to public school, homecomings and more,” Bailey said. “I’m always on a healthy lifestyle with eating, so if my friends and I go a party and there’s cake I go to the fruit.” And, depending on the day, Bailey could be off to any given physical-therapy appointment to help keep her body healthy — cryotherapy, laser therapy and chiropractic therapy among them. Her parents also take her to Largo every other week to see a physical therapist. In between all the appointments is remembering to use ice and get rest. “Everything is very regimented and we have to keep up with all of that, such as what she eats, and we just do it with
her. It’s kind of a family affair. That’s our life, that’s all we do,” Ferrer said. Despite all of the physical therapy, practice and schoolwork, the Ferrers make an effort to help keep life as balanced as possible for Bailey, ensuring that she also has time for fun with friends and youth group. “There’s a balance there that has to be made and she doesn’t get to do everything that your normal high-schooler gets to do,” Ferrer said. “There’s still a bedtime at 15 years old, because if you don’t have enough sleep you’re kind of in trouble the next day at practice. Our goal as parents is to keep her physically intact — it’s extremely expensive to do that — but right now we’re giving her our 100% dedication.” And all that hard work is paying off. In two years, Bailey will be in her first season as a collegiate gymnast for LSU. “We’re really blessed. They (LSU) are an unbelievable organization over there,” Ferrer said. “I feel good about where she’s going and who she’ll be under. I’m proud, she’s excited and I love LSU.” Contact Danielle Hendrix at dhendrix@orangeobserver.com.
9A-3 among state’s top districts CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17
— STEVEN RYZEWSKI
Speaking of Coach Pilz, she gave birth recently. How excited is the team for her big news? We are so thrilled for her, we love her so much. She gives us 110% everyday and we’re just so grateful for everything she does, so we’re so excited for this new blessing in her life. Since you are doing so well in the classroom, which class is your favor-

have won nearly 80% of their non-district games. “Top-tobottom, I don’t think there’s (a district that is) better. … There’s no easy out — there’s no easy night.” Indeed, Apopka — which has a 13-4 record, overall — is 12-1 in games that are not against the Warriors, Mustangs or Trojans. Combined, the district is 43-11 in games against nondistrict opponents, good for a winning percentage of 79.6. What that means is that the four-team district of teams in west and northwest Orange County is, under the radar, one of the best in the state. There is no bottom-feeder, no team that is an easy win. It is a district with four very good teams, only two of which will advance out of the district tournament. And, for the two that do, there’s no telling how far they might go in the state playoffs. “I think the other three teams in our district, if pieces fall the right way for them, all three of them should very easily say that have a great chance of playing in (the Final Four in)
Lakeland,” Williams said. “Our job is to crash that party.” The Darters took a step toward that end when they topped the Warriors 63-58 Jan. 11 in the first game of a televised double-header at Wekiva High. It is a reflection of the parity of the district that the Blue Darters have beaten the Warriors (2-2 in district), who have defeated the Mustangs (3-1 in district), who have topped the Trojans (2-2 in district), who have beaten Apopka. All of which makes the seeding at the district tournament, which begins Feb. 8 at West Orange High, less consequential than normal. “It doesn’t matter who’s the one-seed or who’s the fourseed going into the district tournament — everybody can beat everybody,” said West Orange head coach Eric Jones. As for the secret to why there has been a shift in power within the Metro Conference to these teams in the northwest quarter? Well, it probably has something to do with staffs that are dedicated to the long game. “There’s four really, really
good coaching staffs — player development goes on in those programs,” Williams said. The two district semifinals that will take place at 5 and 7 p.m. Feb. 8 are going to be a ton of fun. Four very good basketball teams are going to take the floor at West Orange High and, by the end of the day, two will have earned playoff berths, and two will be packing their bags for the season. The stakes are going to make for a great day of basketball. District tournaments are not always good theater, but then again this is no ordinary district.

SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR OCOEE Coming into the 2016-17 season with high expectations, the Ocoee girls basketball team hit a wall early in the season. Punctuated by back-to-back losses to Winter Park and district-opponent West Port Nov. 29 and Dec. 1, respectively, the team was in a funk — so it had an intervention of sorts. And, apparently, it has worked. The Knights (14-5) have won 11 of their past 12 games since that loss to West Port and are trending up as one of the hottest teams in Central Florida — and perhaps the state, at large. “It’s been amazing since then. I think we have a lot more support, outside of just the coaches this year,” head coach Gina Solano said. “(The girls) know how to keep their composure now. They just play through it when teams make runs — they stay calm, they don’t panic.” Ocoee’s sole loss of this stretch came

The Knights have won 11 of their past 12 games and are making a case that they are a force to be reckoned with in Class 8A.
in its final game of the Florida Prospects Christmas Invitational Dec. 31 against Wekiva. Since then, though, the Knights have begun the New Year with big wins over rivals such as Olympia, Apopka and Evans — all in the span of one week on the calendar. “We just realized that we had to get locked in, because we want to win Metros,” senior guard Dynasty Carter said. Carter is among several talented seniors on the Knights’ roster who were around for the team’s heartbreaking 43-40 loss in the regional quarterfinals to St. Cloud — a game that marked the program’s first postseason appearance since 2007. This time around, the team appears to be hitting its stride and handling adversity. A come-from-behind 63-58 victory against Jones Dec. 7 stands out as a highlight of the team’s growing maturity and focus on going further in the playoffs this season. “They’re seniors and they’re realizing that they only have so many games left,” Solano said. “They’re really focused.”
