A project that would relieve flooding and drainage issues along a road in Windermere is continuing to take shape. Windermere Town Council members voted earlier this month to move forward with adding a new culvert pipe to a drainage project set for the area of First Avenue and Forest Street. The action moves the project, which currently is in the design and preparation stage, closer to being put out for bid. The addition was a recommendation during a January workshop from Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc., which was asked to do a peer review of the original plan for the project done by another firm about five years ago. Public Works Director Scott Brown said the new pipe for the drainage project was recommended to help handle unprecedented rainfall events. According to the agenda SEE WINDERMERE PAGE 2

Windermere church receives new moniker First Baptist Church of Windermere now is known as Family Church, a name change that signals ministry beyond Windermere’s borders. east Winter Garden and Four Corners campuses opened last year, but Family Church envisions more locations based on where present members live, as well as on opportunities that present themselves. According to Family Church staff, the east Winter Garden campus was a deliberate location choice to minister in that area. The Four Corners campus came about by partnering with a church in that area. “I never want to see a church close its doors, so we are very open to partnering with churches that might be struggling to bring new life to the church,” Carter said.

Next time you drive by any of First Baptist Church of Windermere’s four campuses, you might notice something a little different. The local church recently adopted a new name, Family Church, to accommodate its growing vision for ministry in West Orange County and East Lake County. On Sunday, March 8, churchgoers were welcomed home at each of the existing four campuses — downtown Windermere, Lakeside, east Winter Garden and Four Corners — as they celebrated the name change. It signifies the church’s mission to minister to people beyond Windermere. Lead Pastor Chuck Carter said the church has a vision to plant a neighborhood campus within a 15-minute drive of everyone in the area. “We have people who drive 40 minutes to attend church on Sundays, so we want to bring a campus closer to them,” Carter said. “When you invite your friends, neighbors and coworkers to church, it is hard to tell them that they will need to drive 40 minutes to attend.” The name Family Church came about, Carter said, because everyone wants to

Venue closures quiet local bands, musicians The coronavirus has impacted the multiple bands and performers that play the venues of West and Southwest Orange County. BIANCA MORALES STAFF INTERN

The coronavirus isn’t just forcing businesses to close and residents to stay home, it’s keeping musicians off of local stages. Singer-songwriter Layla Brisbois and The Down Brothers vocalist and guitarist Jeff Wilson are among those performers eager to pick up their instruments and play for crowds again once the COVID-19 pandemic dissipates. Brisbois, an Orlando native, started her career as a musician six years ago when she played a gig with local musician Guy Walker. She plays the acoustic guitar and the piano, but she said her true passion is singing. “I ended up making it a fulltime thing about two years ago,” Brisbois said. “It’s the one thing that brings me absolute, pure joy.” She’s made her career by playing at Winter Garden venues, local breweries, restaurants and places such as Disney Springs. However, as the COVID-19 crisis continues, venues have been closing their doors in an effort to minimize the spread of the virus and keep the public safe, cutting off gigs for the time being. “When the whole month gets canceled, you lose all your income,” Brisbois said. “You’ve got no way to pay your bills.” Brisbois is now out of work for

the next 30 days, and there are many musicians in the same boat. “I know people who live gig by gig and have no way to cover their expenses,” Brisbois said. “Live music is a bit of a luxury for some places.” By the time local businesses open up again, it’s not certain they will be able to afford live music again, she said. “I could be out of work for more than 30 days while businesses get back on their feet,” Brisbois said. “We’re at the bottom end of the totem pole right now.”

“It’s not good. I’ve been through riots, earthquakes and fires in Los Angeles. You could go to San Francisco to play. You could go to Phoenix to play. But this … this is a total shutdown. It’s devastating.” — Jeff Wilson, The Down Brothers

The Down Brothers is one of many bands stuck without live gigs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Brisbois said that, while stressed out by the situation, she’s trying her best to stay positive. “It’s OK to be upset,” she said. “In a day, we lost everything for a month. ... Feel what you need to feel to get past this.” In the meantime, Brisbois will be focusing on her original music. She will also be doing live streams on social media platforms. “I’m gonna miss playing out,” Brisbois said. “I look forward to every gig. I do what I love because I genuinely love going out and playing gigs.”

Pittsburgh native Jeff Wilson plays guitar and sings with local band The Down Brothers, which performs numerous events in Windermere, Dr. Phillips and beyond. He’s been a full-time musician for 25 years and has traveled all over the country with his music. He said he always wanted to be a musician. “It’s definitely not about the money — money isn’t the driving factor,” Wilson said. “It’s for the pleasure of making music. It’s the greatest thing in the world.”

With businesses in the area shutting down for the next month, money is scarce and making a living is daunting. “It’s not good,” Wilson said. “I’ve been through riots, earthquakes and fires in Los Angeles. You could go to San Francisco to play. You could go to Phoenix to play. But this … this is a total shutdown. It’s devastating. “It’s hard to keep the music business going,” Wilson said. “It’s important for musicians to stick together.”

Couple honeymoons in Hamlin TIM FREED MANAGING EDITOR

One Hamlin couple in self-quarantine has bigger plans than just searching grocery store aisles for toilet paper — they’re celebrating their honeymoon. Stephanie Machado and Jesus La Rosa were married March 7 at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando but shortly after had to cancel their honeymoon plans in Niagara-on-the-Lake in Canada due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis. The couple thought at first they could simply change up their plans and stay in a cabin in Asheville, North Carolina, but leaders declaring a state of emergency threw off those plans, as well. And so the newlyweds were forced to head back home March 9 and have spent their honeymoon there ever since — but the situation didn’t get them down. “I would say that our friends and family that know us would call us a pretty positive duo,”

Machado said. “We’re usually trying to make the best of everything — especially my husband, he is like Mr. Positivity. ... I think we quickly saw that this was something that had to happen, so we can mope here at home or we could make the best of it.” They started turning everyday routines into special, romantic moments throughout a home honeymoon. Instead of lounging by the pool at a resort, the couple kicked back and relaxed in their backyard by a kiddie pool they bought at Walmart. Instead of a fishing excursion, the couple cast fishing lines in a lake in their neighborhood. Instead of an adventurous hike along a trail, the couple took a walk through the neighborhood. The couple also has eaten a romantic dinner by candlelight in their home and soaked their feet in the tub as a “spa day.” “It kind of started as a joke,” Machado said. “We were doing different home activities like

laundry and making the bed and we said, ‘This is our honeymoon now,’ and it turned into our home honeymoon. We started actually planning out things to do at home that simulated what you would do on an actual honeymoon. “It sounds super cheesy, but we’ve been able to pretend or just have some fun with the fact that we’re kind of stuck at home,” she said. Machado and La Rosa have been documenting their home honeymoon on Instagram. The couple has enjoyed hearing from the community — even from other couples going through similar situations with weddings getting postponed. “We’ve gotten so many messages on Instagram of people saying, ‘Thank you so much for sharing some positivity during this time,’” Machado said. “A lot of people, frankly, are scared. For us, we feel safe and OK, but, for a lot of people, they’re anxious during this time, and to have

something to smile at and laugh at and bring some joy to people honestly makes us feel really good.” “I try to live by this every day: You’ve got to make the best out of every situation you have, trying to make everything as positive as possible,” La Rosa said. “I tell Steph all the time that sometimes someone seeing you make that positive spin on something can dramatically change their outlook on whatever they’re doing. … You make the world a better place — at least for that moment.” The couple said they hope to take a trip — a “honeymoon 2.0” — once travel is allowed and the virus is contained. For now, though, the newlyweds plan to remain in home honeymoon mode. “It’s something that’s going to be a memory that we’re going to carry with us,” Machado said. “We’ll never forget our honeymoon, that’s for sure.”

Windermere to alleviate flooding ROAD RECOVERY

packet from the Windermere Town Council’s March 10 meeting, the project would alleviate flooding along Forest Street from First Avenue to Second Avenue. The Town Council approved adding the additional pipe, modifying the roadside swales and building the dirt road back up to where it can drain the water properly. During the workshop earlier this year, the Town Council also expressed interest in getting a more current topographical survey of the drainage basin in the area to find out where the stormwater is coming from. The council agreed earlier this month to use Orange County’s data through LIDAR mapping to get a more upto-date picture of the area.

Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc. also presented suggestions to help fix flooding issues in nearby backyards on three parcels of land — if the residents would seek to have those issues fixed. “Some of those yards are kind of in a bowl, and the residents felt like some of the water was coming from the roadway, and basically Kimley-Horn identified that their backyard is low and it’s just capturing the road water,” Brown said. The drainage project for Forest Street should take care of any water that’s collecting in the right of way, Brown said. He added that construction should start on the Forest Street project at some point in mid- to late-summer.

The town of Windermere recently finished another drainage project to help with flooding along Bayshore Drive. The project involved building new ditch-bottom inlets on each side of the road connected by an underground culvert pipe 14 inches high and 23 inches wide under the street. A stormwater project is in progress along Park Avenue to address ponding water. The project uses culvert pipe and a shallow swale system to convey the water into open drainage boxes. A sidewalk nearby will be widened, moved a couple feet away from the roadway and connected to another portion of sidewalk.

acres and has an interior square footage of about 12,810 square feet. The building once served as the headquarters of the United Medical Corporation — the asking price of the property is $5.6 million. Dan Wilson is a sales and capital advisory associate with First Capital Property Group, which is the broker that received the listing for the building. He said the building’s history goes back to 1991. “In 1991, United Medical Corporation, or UMC, chose to locate their corporate office there in the heart of Windermere,” Wilson said. “Basically, several executives were already (Windermere) residents, and they wanted a headquarters that reflected the character and charm of the community, as well as the clients they serve.” Wilson said the building is zoned commercial with a land-use designation of office low-rise. He added that the craftsmanship and architectural style of the building are just some of the aspects that make it unique. The building includes six executive office suites, some equipped with outdoor balconies; multiple private offices; large, open spaces on each floor that can be converted into cubicles or other uses; three conference areas; and indoor and outdoor break areas. The property also includes 40 dedicated parking spaces with four of them covered. “It has a very prominent entry area — a foyer area — and an intimate fireplace off

to the side to give it kind of a cozy feel, as well,” Wilson said. “It has a very classic, architectural feel on the exterior and also from the interior, so it’s essentially kind of a timeless design. “One of the really prominent architectural features is there are multiple light towers that kind of go up through the roof where natural light (hits it),” Wilson added. “As you walk up the stairs to the second floor, you’re kind of showered with natural light.” With very little room for new commercial development in downtown Windermere, the former UMC headquarters is a unique piece of real estate due to its size, prime location, features and amenities on site and nearby, Wilson said. “It’s essentially irreplaceable,” Wilson said. “It’s on 0.9 acres of commercial land in the heart of Windermere. You just cannot find (something like this). It just doesn’t exist any longer. And then, to be able to get the density to build a 12,000-plus-square-foot office building, even at current costs, would be very challenging to match the level of it and finish and craftsmanship (of this building). … The finishes and craftsmanship are just unbelievable and kind of rare. And the location and zoning for something like that in the heart of Windermere is simply irreplaceable, and there’s really nothing comparable.”

KEEPING YOUR DISTANCE Health officials have advised individuals to stay away from large crowds.

SOCIAL DISTANCING TIPS

n Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the bathroom, before eating and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. If you don’t have soap and water, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Avoid close contact with people who are sick and stay at home when you’re sick. n Avoid shopping at peak hours and take advantage of delivery or pick-up services with retailers. n Work with your employer to change company practices, set up flexible shift plans, have employees telecommute and cancel any large meetings or conferences. n Stay within 6 feet away from other people. n Don’t travel to areas with active outbreaks. n Avoid shaking hands as a social greeting. n Avoid public transit if possible.

ERIC GUTIERREZ STAFF WRITER

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, health authorities worldwide have been encouraging individuals to practice social distancing. But what exactly is social distancing and how does one practice it? Simply put, social distancing can be defined as taking measures to limit physical contact with other people. These measures are often taken to restrict when and where people can gather to prevent or slow the spread of infectious diseases. Social distancing measures often include placing limits on large groups of people coming together, closing certain buildings and public spaces, and canceling events that attract large crowds. Daniella Sullivan, health services administrator at Orange County Government, shared a number of tips for how citizens can practice social distancing. “The goal is to maintain a healthy distance between you and other people,” Sullivan said. “The goal (also) is to minimize the unnecessary contact with people, and that involves avoiding things like public transportation, or nonessential travel, or business meetings or things like that. It’s keeping (away from) social gatherings and not going to crowded areas and that type of activity.” Sullivan added that, for jobs that have implemented work-from-home measures, businesses should limit in-person meetings and use video, phone or other telecommunication methods for meetings when necessary. “You can still keep (business) operations going while you will comply with the recommendation of social distancing,” Sullivan said. “There are other companies that have transitioned to remote work. … In Orange County in particular, we have seen a lot of strategies related to that.” Although social distancing is strongly recommended for people all over the world, that doesn’t mean individuals won’t be coming into contact with others. There will be instances where indi-

viduals might have to interact — such as picking up groceries or working at a job that cannot be done from home — but social distancing measures can still be taken. “The recommendation is (you have) to be at least 6 feet (away from others),” Sullivan said. “Hand hygiene is always going to be the key. … Social distancing does not mean that you’re going to be socially isolated. We still need to go to the pharmacy or to the grocery store and we have to be a little bit more cautious when we go to those public places. … Avoid being in close distance with others.”

Personalized care with compassion and excellence.

PEACE IS FOUND

Instead of meeting at Water Spring Elementary School, Life Church Horizon West also is going completely online, but on a more intimate scale — livestreamed from the home of Lead Pastor Brandt Leich. “We as a church kind of understand being the church without a building already, but it’s given us the opportunity to focus on other aspects like the digital and online presence at this point because we can’t meet as a church like we normally would together,” Leich said. The lead pastor has been giving messages each week alongside his wife since Sunday, March 15. The Life Church website also gives access to numerous online life groups, including one for children that offers videos and materials for parents to help them teach biblical lessons. The church isn’t stopping its mission of reaching people and connecting them with God’s word, Leich said. “It’s extremely important for us to keep going,” he said. “The church can bring peace to people’s lives in a time of uncertainty. … Hopefully we can give people some tools through the word so they can have that peace and that joy in their life, and hopefully that spills out to others.” Leich said the church is more than just a place to meet every Sunday. “The church is not a building — the church is people,” he said. “Even in these chaotic times — even in these times of uncertainty — peace is found through Jesus and having a relationship with Him,” he said. “When we can cling to Him, we can get through these times. It doesn’t have to wreck our world. It may throw some hiccups and ups and downs. It may stretch our faith, but we can have faith and we can have peace — even in uncertain times like this.”

Local churches may not be meeting together under one roof, but that isn’t stopping them from using technology to worship together and encourage one another. Following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines in the wake of COVID-19, churches are livestreaming and recording services so their congregations can still hear a positive message and worship from home. That includes Lifebridge Church in Windermere, which has been hosting services solely online since Sunday, March 15. Executive Pastor Jeff Lawrence said services are available on the church’s website, Facebook and YouTube channel — the services also remain posted after so they can be revisited. Members of the church can communicate through a live chat, as well, interacting with pastors and sending prayer requests. Resources for kids and students are available online, too, and a texting service also allows the congregation to stay connected, Lawrence said. “What we’re doing basically is we’re taking what we already had and we’re really leveraging it for what we call ‘kingdom purposes,’” Lawrence said. “In the midst of darkness, we just want our people to know that you can have hope. You can stand on solid foundation when it feels like the whole world is turning — feels like you don’t know what’s going to happen next. We use these different virtual pathways to reach our people and still pastor folks when you’re not with people.”

Lifebridge Church also is working with Meals on Wheels to help provide food to seniors during the coronavirus pandemic. Lawrence said Meals on Wheels is currently overwhelmed with double the requests for food, so members of Lifebridge are doing their part by leaving food donations for pickup at the church. “It’s so the community knows that we’re here; we’re here for you — not just our congregation,” Lawrence said. “It’s a scary time for folks, and potentially it may get scarier. … A lot of times, (people) turn to the church and say, ‘We need hope.’ That’s who we are. That’s what we do — we provide hope in darkness.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is now officially baptized. It’s a rite of passage for every governor. At some point in a governor’s term, he or she will face a major crisis. DeSantis’s predecessor, Rick Scott, faced the tests of four major crises: Hurricanes Irma and Michael and the massacres at the Pulse nightclub and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The Great Recession tested Charlie Crist. Gov. DeSantis’ test is COVID-19. He will be remembered forever for how he led the state through this crisis. And at this point, it’s time for Gov. DeSantis to step up. Big. Bold. And fast. With all due respect, it is time to act. We cannot wait for Washington. Florida’s economy is on the verge of an epic catastrophe. Unless the economic side of this crisis is addressed swiftly, decisively and with a spirit of hope, we would go so far as to say the damage to the families of the 9 million working Floridians will be larger and more severe than the health effects of the virus on Florida’s 21 million population. We know the first priority of the corona crisis was to address the health front, to enact measures necessary to keep the virus from spreading. But over the past two weeks as the list of emergency orders, bans and restrictions flowed from the Trump administration in Washington, gubernatorial executive orders and local governments, it became clear the second front of this war — the economic front — was rising with the same virulence. It is no exaggeration to say every business owner in Florida is looking at his or her cash balance with a fear that is bordering on helpless panic. With their hearts and pulse rates rising, every one of these business owners is constantly walking around with these questions bearing down on him or her: How long can I last? How long can I keep paying my employees so they can feed their families? How long before I start letting them go? Will I have to declare bankruptcy? Will I have to shut down? That day already has struck for many businesses. Here’s one big example: Feld Entertainment, the Manatee-based, liveshow producer of Disney on Ice, Monster Jam and Sesame Street Live, laid off nearly 90% of its workforce already — between 900 to 1,200 employees. Employees received varying amounts of severance; their health insurance coverage will stop at the end of the month. Now extrapolate that throughout the state. Florida has 2,333,578 for-profit and not-for-profit businesses. Ninety-nine percent — or 2,310,242 — are small businesses, all with fewer than 100 employees, most with fewer than 20. The vast majority of the owners of these businesses are trying to remain calm, but they all are stressed about survival. Now put on top of their worries, the worries of their employees. All employees are sitting at home today, and while trying to work, they also are wondering: Will I have a job tomorrow? What will I do? How will I pay my mortgage? Let’s get even more granular on the most pronounced effect of this virus on Florida’s economy. Consider this: 3,068,000 Floridians (moms, dads, etc.) are employed in Florida’s tourism, hospitality, restaurants, retail trade and affiliated trade and

SIX IMMEDIATE STEPS TO HELP SAVE FLORIDA’S ECONOMY Here are six suggestions for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that could give Floridians hope and assurance that the state’s leaders are taking bold, decisive and immediate action to help Florida’s economy now and for when the coronavirus crisis has ended:

1. Call House and Senate leaders back to Tallahassee and work on immediate economic measures to re-open our economy. 2. Convene a Business Task Force, led by the governor, of no more than 10 business executives and owners. They should be people who have been through crises before and represent primarily small businesses of fewer than 500 employees and $100 million in annual revenue. The representation should include a diverse selection of entrepreneurs; hospitality and leisure executives; professional, business and consumer services executives; and construction industry executives. This task force could be charged with developing and recommending actions that can be vetted, narrowed down and implemented for maximum impact — before April 6. 3. Because Florida’s finances are strong, the state should issue up to $10 billion in 50-year bonds to fund one-time initiatives. Time is of the essence. This must be a top priority now. 4. To save Florida’s restaurant industry, we should immediately provide every voter a $100 or $150 debit card issued by the state — a $1.3 billion or $1.5 billion stimulus. The card could be used for food only — no alcohol or sales tax — at any registered restaurant in the state for 30 days only. Unused cards expire and the money would go back to state. This must be Priority 1. 5. Start a second business group to work with Disney World, Universal, other resorts and hoteliers, cruise lines and airlines to bring back pent-up demand after the crisis. In a similar time, Hawaii subsidized air fares to Hawaii. Reduce airport landing fees and abate sales taxes on some services for Florida only. 6. Engage the property and

insurance carriers that have claims administration capabilities in place to process business interruption claims that could be backstopped and paid for by the state. Most policies exclude pandemics and war. But this should be focused on Florida-based businesses and those businesses with fewer than 500 employees and $100 million in annual revenue.

We know the above statements will bring forceful criticism and opposition. But as this crisis progresses and our government officials continue to raise the level of quarantines, lockdowns and restrictions in the name of preserving lives, there is another side to the scale that must be weighed. This is why we are urging Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Senate President Bill Galvano and House Speaker Jose Oliva to demonstrate Patton-like leadership. They need to show Floridians they know they are fighting a two-front war and that they know they must turn as much attention to the economic front as they are to the health front. They need to take immediate action. They need to go big and bold. They need to present farreaching, impactful plans that address the here and now and the future. As Gen. Patton famously said: “A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan next week.” Most of all, our state leaders need to give Floridians hope — hope that their lives are not going to end up in breadlines and broke. As one observer told us: “I would rather die of coronavirus than go through breadlines and having little hope like the Great Depression.”

wholesale businesses. That’s 34% of all jobs, the largest segment of employment in the state. These are the businesses that typically have the least amount of financial wherewithal to withstand a shock like this. These businesses need immediate assistance — not two weeks from now. They need it now! And to be sure, our government officials are only exacerbating the economic crisis when they issue “stay-at-home” proclamations, except for essential services. We stood last week with an owner of a 60-year-old, familyowned, Sarasota auto body shop. He told us in a typical week he would see a dozen to 15 car owners a day pull in to his shop for repairs. The phone was always ringing. Last week, he said he had four inquiries for the entire week. Or take any business, say, a dental office. The governor banned them from opening. If any business was to be extraordinarily careful in its health practices, you could be sure it would be Florida’s dentists. The point here is that while our public officials are acting out of a rational, heightened sense of caution (and their own fears) — and it’s good that they are — there appears to be little convincing evidence coming from our state officials that the medicine that is being dispensed is in the right proportions. There seems to be little cost-benefit analysis. To be blunt, we are suggesting that public officials are acting hastily and with emotion more than with facts. Understandably, it appears they are afraid to be accused of not following the official crowd, rather than examine the facts (see box).

Students still fed while schools closed The Foundation for OCPS is making sure the students who rely on free and reduced-price lunches continue to receive meals while schools are closed. AMY QUESINBERRY COMMUNITY EDITOR

The sudden school closings last week put a temporary stop to on-campus education, but for some students, it took away more than that. It meant many of them wouldn’t receive the free or reducedprice lunches that are served in Orange County Public Schools. More than half of the public school students in Orange County receive nutritious meals through the program. The Foundation for OCPS is making sure those students have access to breakfast and lunch as long as schools are closed. The school district’s Food and Nutrition Services Department is providing all of the food, about 45,000 meals daily. The meals are free for children 18 and younger and are being funded through the Florida Department of Agriculture. “The district has 68% of students eligible for meals at no charge and rely on school meals for their main source of nutrition,” said Lorena Arias from OCPS media relations. The program started Monday, March 23, and operated like a drive-thru service. District staff handed out packages to children who walked or rode their bicycle to the schools, as well as parents who were lined up in the car loop to pick up food. Identification is not needed, families do not have to qualify for free and reducedprice meals, and students and parents can go to any of the 50 participating schools, according to OCPS.

The Lynx bus transportation system is offering free service through March 27 to all children and their parents going to and from Grab-and-Go locations. Parents are required to be accompanied by their child to receive free fare and must inform the driver they are going to the school for a Grab-and-Go meal. The following school sites within or near West Orange County are among 50 Grab-and-Go stations set up by OCPS. Adjustments are being made to the locations depending on daily participation. n Apopka Middle School, 425 N. Park Ave., Apopka n Dr. Phillips High School, 6500 Turkey Lake Road, Orlando n Evans High School, 4949 Silver Star Road, Orlando n Frangus Elementary School, 380 Killington Way, Orlando n Gotha Middle School, 9155 Gotha Road, Windermere n Lake Gem Elementary School, 4801 Bloodhound St., Orlando n Maxey Elementary School, 602 E. Story Road, Winter Garden n Orlo Vista Elementary School, 3 N. Hastings St., Orlando n Pine Hills Elementary School, 1006 Ferndell Road, Orlando n Rolling Hills Elementary School, 3607 Damon Road, Apopka n Wekiva High School, 2501 N. Hiawassee Road, Apopka n Wheatley Elementary School, 1475 Marvin C. Zanders Ave., Apopka.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO GRAB-AND-GO n Be patient and follow all directions from OCPS staff on site. They are committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment, reinforcing social distancing protocols and creating a smooth traffic flow. n Families using the drive-thru service must remain in their vehicle. Do not get out. n Place your car in the parked position to reduce the potential for injury to staff and pedestrians. n Pedestrians must take their Grab-and-Go meals home and not remain in the area to eat. n Pedestrians waiting in line must maintain a 6-foot distance from other people. Do not shake hands with other individuals. n Children walking or biking should take a backpack to carry their Grab-and-Go meals home.

Each package included breakfast, lunch and breakfast for the next day. OCPS provided the meal plan for each week. Breakfast each day will include milk, juice and a fruit cup, as well as an assortment of cereal, a cereal bar with cheese stick, Pop-Tart or muffin. Lunches vary and will include a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich, chicken tenders, pizza, burger sliders or chicken nuggets.

A run to remember

Three options to enjoy while stuck in sports purgatory Despite there being no sports due to the spread of the coronavirus, there are options to satiate your thirst for competition.

With officials calling for social distancing to fight the coronavirus, Gymnastics USA in Winter Garden is launching at-home learning with live-online classes. Gymnastics USA will host training sessions led by its coaches for different levels of gymnastics via daily livestreaming videos. Classes will focus on flexibility, strength training and basic gymnastics skills — all sessions can be done in home or in your own backyard. Coaches will track and communicate with athletes by using myskillchart.com.

TROY HERRING SPORTS EDITOR

If you’re a sports fan — and I’m assuming you are, based on this being the sports section of the paper — you’re probably pretty bored right now. Now don’t get me wrong — because I know we are in the middle of a serious pandemic that is wreaking havoc across the world — but while some have their coping mechanisms in place, the sports fans of the world do not. Over the last two weeks, we have seen every professional sporting league in the country shut down and have watched college and high school sports halted, as well. We should be watching March Madness or baseball right now. So, what I’m offering to you — the good folks of West and Southwest Orange County — are three ways I’m keeping myself sane during this Twilight Zone moment that we find ourselves in.

As Crossfit Winter Garden continues to monitor the coronavirus pandemic, the gym will be now limiting its classes to 10 athletes. To make up for the new changes, the gym will be adding 10 and 11 a.m. classes to give others chances to get in their workouts.

Eat The Frog Fitness in Winter Garden is offering an “on the go” virtual program for its members to keep up their workouts and track their health and fitness goals. The program will offer cardio, strength and Flex-Core sessions — like what’s done in the gym — throughout the duration of the coronavirus pandemic. Members will be able to use their gymspecific app and heartrate monitor to keep an eye on their health.

Warrior One (Winter Garden-Windermere) is taking its yoga classes online with its Warrior One Zoom live interactive classes. Those interested can visit bit. ly/2WCbNtb. There you can purchase a variety of yoga classes to participate in at the comfort of your own home.

Despite temporarily closing its doors Friday, March 20, Planet Fitness — located at 10908 W. Colonial Dr. in Ocoee — will have free at-home workouts broadcasted daily on its Facebook page via Facebook Live.

After the Tokyo Marathon was canceled due to the coronavirus, a special marathon in Winter Garden was put together for Windermere resident Liliana Umpierre. Photo courtesy of Liliana Umpierre

TROY HERRING SPORTS EDITOR

On Sunday, March 1, Windermere resident Liliana Umpierre was supposed to be in Japan to compete in the 2020 Tokyo Marathon — one of the world’s biggest marathons. Instead, she found herself standing at the splash pad in downtown Winter Garden at 5:30 in the morning surrounded by her family, as well as friends from the local and Ocoee chapters of Moms Run This Town. The Tokyo Marathon had been canceled by the recent outbreak of the coronavirus, but her friends in the running group weren’t going to let her training be for naught, said friend and group member Denise Snyder. Umpierre was going to have a marathon of her own. “We tried to make it a lighthearted event and just (wanted to) show support,” said Snyder,

who organized the event. “You train so many months for a race and to have it canceled like that, and not know if you’ll ever be able to do that race again, is just heartbreaking.” When the Tokyo Marathon was canceled Monday, Feb. 17, Umpierre lost out on not just a chance to run the marathon — she and her family lost a chance to enjoy a family vacation. It also cost her financially, as some parts of the trip were non-refundable. After hearing the news, Snyder and the group acted fast. In the span of only a couple weeks, Snyder had planned out a marathon mile for mile and figured out the specifics to make the race happen. Part of the plan included members riding around in a van to get from place to place — handing out water and holding up signs written in both English and Japanese while Umpierre ran, creating the feel that she was in the Tokyo Marathon.

“It was kind of making the most of a tough situation,” friend and Moms Run This Town member Jeanne Harbin said. “She had stuff planned to go to other attractions, as well, with her family of five.” Before the race, Umpierre was worried about running the course alone, but her friends had that figured out. During the run, Umpierre had runners by her side the whole time. “They created a group where they were posting updates, and that’s when I realized I wasn’t running by myself — there were people who were going with me for a few miles,” Umpierre said. “I felt like I wasn’t alone — all the support they were giving me, it was the strength that I needed.”

Channels like ESPN, FOX Sports and the NFL Network need to keep making money, and they can only talk so much about sports being canceled — or about the shampoo that Lebron James is using to keep his hairline from receding to the back of his neck — so of course there is a slew of sports replays running constantly at the moment. Today — Friday, March 20 — I’ve watched Game 5 of the 1995 American League Division Series between the Seattle Mariners/ New York Yankees and Game 7 of the 1988 NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers/Detroit Pistons. And tomorrow? I’ll do the exact same with whatever else I can find to watch. Sure, it doesn’t offer the live and social components that come with sports, but it’s something. And it doesn’t have to stop with TV — there’s also YouTube, which offers a plethora of choices, as well. Shoot, given how many times I’ve watched full Alabama football games on there, YouTube should be paying me for my services. Just about every sports organization in the United States — like the NFL, NBA and NHL — has its own channel where you can watch full games. SPORTS DOCUMENTARIES

That strength came in handy for Umpierre around mile 21 when

I’ll preface this by just saying I love — to an obnoxious level — documentaries as a whole. Seeing as how I’m a journalist, it shouldn’t be shocking, but I digress.

With words of encouragement by her entourage, Umpierre continued the fight as she made her way back to downtown Winter Garden. As she got closer and closer, she could feel herself being pulled to the finish line by sheer will. “When we were one mile from the splash pad, I just felt a push with my heart, because my legs weren’t moving,” Umpierre said. “I ended up running with my heart the last one mile, because my brain was wanting to shut down the rest of my body.” As she pulled into Photo courtesy of Liliana Umpierre view of those waitUmpierre has ran in two major marathons. ing at the finish line,

A senior center fielder on the Dr. Phillips High School baseball team, Brandon Fields has a history of success. A multi-sport athlete, Fields has won a state title in football and made a state semifinal appearance with the baseball team. He’ll be looking to have the same level of success in the fall as a freshman on the University of South Carolina football and baseball teams.

When did you first get into baseball? It was at a young age — around 6 or 7. My dad introduced me to baseball at a young age with T-ball — that was one of the sports I first adopted next to basketball. I used to be pretty decent at basketball at a young age, and then later on started getting more serious with baseball. From then on I loved it and I got serious with baseball around 12 to 13 years old when I started playing travel ball.

on things on the outside part of the plate and be patient — just be patient and wait for my pitch.

What has kept you in the sport for so long? Just the factor of wanting to compete, and the ultimate team goal to win and go out there with your boys — guys you’ve built a relationship with.

The coronavirus has suspended your baseball season. As a senior, how are you feeling about that? We had big goals and aspirations this season, because we knew we were young going into the season — we expected a lot mentally, but you had that factor that we were young. We started off the season pretty hot… and we had a really good preseason tournament. We were riding a wave and catching wins, but we felt like we had a lot more in the tank. I was pretty sad to find the season was canceled indefinitely.

What’s the most challenging part about playing baseball? I think the most challenging part about playing baseball is having a consistent routine. With baseball, when you have a routine, it makes stuff easier and you have stuff to go back to when you’re struggling. If I’m having a bad day at the plate, I can have a consistent routine that I can trust and go back to and it’s worked before, so I can get back to that time when I’m doing good. But if I have no plans and no routine, I’m like a chicken without a head — I don’t know where to start and I have no blueprints.

You’re going to the University of South Carolina in the fall to play for both the football and baseball teams. What are you most excited about? Just the new environment — I’ve lived in Florida my whole life. Getting up there and experiencing a whole other state. The campus itself is also just amazing and beautiful — hands down one of the nicest campuses — and the new facility they built is jawdropping.

As a strong hitter, what’s it like at the plate for you during the game? For me, the biggest thing in high school is I see a lot of pitches on the outside part of the plate. I don’t really get pitched in … because if a lot of guys and coaches in the area know about you and you’re on their radar, you don’t really see a lot of goodthings to hit. So the biggest thing for me is to work

Surviving with no sports CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

There are some absolutely phenomenal sports documentaries, but I’ll go with ESPN’s “30 for 30” — a mecca of the art form. For me, “Survive and Advance” is the best “30 for 30” documentary. Nothing in sports beats an incredible underdog story, and that’s exactly what head coach Jim Valvano and his 1983 NC State basketball team’s run to the NCAA title was. As a good ol’ North Carolinian born and raised on State sports I’m unabashedly biased, but if that story doesn’t move you to sobbing like a contestant being kicked off “The Bachelor,” I don’t know what will. Other suggestions for incredibly well done docs: “Without Bias,” “The U,” “The Two Escobars,” “Pony Excess” and “O.J.: Made in America.”

For this last section, I’m going to ask you to do something — open your mine to the ludicrous. Outside the realm of traditional sports there exists a world of utter weirdness, and honestly, it’s oddly addictive. I’ve always known that there were “sports” out there that were beyond what I was used to, but I’ve never dived into that world until now. I’m not ashamed to say that I, a grown man, have been sucked into the world of marble racing. There are actually channels on YouTube that serve this audience, and it’s something. Bran Asse ts channel Jelle’s Marble dRuns has specialty tracks that are used for heats, while small stadiums made up of an audience of marbles “watch.

ing sports that doesn’t require an athlete to leave their chair might be more to your liking. That’s right, I’m talking about esports. In the year 2020, esports is a booming industry that rakes in a lot of money, with competitions around the world. Games like “Fortnite,” “World of Warcraft” and “Call of Duty” have become battlefields for teams competing in tournaments and the like, and it can be an outlet for you to shout at your computer when there are no live sports to partake in.

she could hear her son, Diego, announcing her arrival, while her daughter, Isa, was holding up the finish line. Her other daughter, Gaby, stood holding the medal made of cardboard and ribbon. Everything that had happened leading up to the race — a family trip ruined, the cancelation of the Tokyo marathon and the money lost — all fell away in that very moment. “When I saw all the people who were there, I started crying,” Umpierre said. “I couldn’t believe it. I knew there were a couple of people who were planning to be there, but I wasn’t expecting all of those people. I was so emotional, and I felt like I was in the real race — I felt all of the emotions that you feel when you cross the finish line.” It’s been a few weeks since that Sunday run — which Umpierre calls the “Friendship Marathon” — and Umpierre still gets a lump in her throat when she talks about the kindness and effort shown by her friends on that day. And as far as the homemade medal she received? It now holds a special place among her treasure trove of hardware, Umpierre said. “I’ve done Chicago and Berlin — Tokyo was supposed to be my third (major marathon) — and I have a wonderful frame where I hold those two special medals,” Umpierre said. “This medal will go over there — it belongs over there.”
