Winter Garden remembers Carl ‘Pete’ Peters

Winter Garden’s 12th and current fire chief, Matt McGrew, spent time with Carl Peters, the oldest living fire chief, in February. Peters was the city’s fourth fire chief.

In addition to serving as Winter Garden’s fire chief in the 1960s, Peters also worked as a volunteer firefighter, owned a taxi service and ran a used-car dealership. COMMUNITY EDITOR

n exchange for volunteering to fight any fires in the city every other night and every other weekend, Carl “Pete” Peters Jr. and his family lived for free in one of the apartments above the fire station on South Boyd Street in Winter Garden. By day, he was a mechanic for the city and worked on all vehicles and equipment. The building, now home to SoBo Art Gallery, was home to three of Peters’ four sons in the 1960s when he was a volunteer firefighter and, later, the city’s fourth fire chief. For years, the fire station blew a whistle at noon every day; Fred Peters recalls the thrill of being able to “fire the whistle” that resonated throughout the city. The boys, now men, remember hearing his stories about the fires their dad fought and recall his pride in designing the city’s first front water pump for the fire truck. “During hurricanes, we would move the fire trucks out of the station … and that would open up the bays, and they would turn the three bays into a hurricane shelter,” he said. The Peters brothers have only memories and photographs to connect them to their childhoods; their father, Pete Peters, the city’s oldest living fire chief, died May 13, 2020, at age 92. “He told a lot of stories,” Fred Peters said. “His memory, right up to the end, his long-term memory never really went away. He really had a lot of stories.”

ARRIVING IN WINTER GARDEN

Pete Peters, who moved with his parents and siblings to Winter Garden from Alabama when he

was 16, was known for his many enterprises in Winter Garden. In addition to serving as a volunteer firefighter and a mechanic, he also worked at the Ford dealership at Plant and Dillard streets; and he owned several taxi companies, a service station and a used-car business. It was while driving one of those taxi cabs that Pete Peters met his future wife, Velma. He frequently picked up her family to take them to and from the grocery store. After working for Childs Taxi, he bought the business and renamed it Pete’s Taxi, phone number 400, operating it beside the Edgewater Hotel for about seven years. He also bought Dial Cabs — “Rain, hail, sleet or snow, call Dial, we’ll go” — kept the name and drove customers around in 1951 Fords and 1952 Chevys. Pete Peters owned Sinclair Service Station, too, and operated it and one of the cab businesses together on Main Street. In 1977, he started West Orange Auto Sales and ran the used-car business until he retired in 2007 at age 80. “When we were kids growing up, my dad always told us, ‘You be careful buying a car from a used-car dealer because they’re snakes,” Fred Peters said. “And when we were teenagers, he retired and opened a car dealership.” KEEPING THE DEPARTMENT TOGETHER

When Pete Peters started with the fire station, there were close to 20 others serving as volunteers, too. “The only time they got paid was if it was an out-of-town fire,” he said in a 2003 interview. “Firemen got $5 for each out-of-town fire. In town, there was no pay for that.” In 1962, the city asked him to leave his mechanic’s position and serve as fire chief, and he stayed in that role for three years. He was responsible for hiring the first full-time employees for the fire department to assist the volunteers in this growing city. During his time as chief, he also got the city to agree to pay volunteers $100 a month, regardless

of the number of in-town or out-of-town fires they fought. “Chief Peters is credited with keeping the Winter Garden Fire Department from being disbanded in the early ’60s, when many of the volunteers were at odds with the city,” Fire Chief Matt McGrew said. “Chief Peters took over and was successful in bringing the volunteers back together to restore the fire department. Throughout my career, and especially since coming to WGFRD in 2006, I have always held the belief that we wouldn’t be the department we are today had it not been for those like Chief Peters who paved the way (through thick and thin) so many years ago.” The two met when Winter Garden hosted a celebration in honor of the fire department’s centennial in 2013. Their most recent conversation was in February, when McGrew visited Pete Peters at Quality Health Care, where he had been living. “He said that when he went to work for the city as a mechanic, they automatically connected any of the mechanics to the fire department,” McGrew said. “That’s just the way it was. He liked working for the city and was willing to do whatever he needed to do, so he went on to become a volunteer firefighter.”

When firefighters started quitting their positions because of how they felt they were being treated, Pete Peters was there to advocate for them. “He was proud; he just loved the city of Winter Garden,” Fred Peters said. “He knew the mayors and the fire department and the police department; he was friends with everybody. When we were younger, the police officers would come by our house on Sunday, because they knew Mama made the best biscuits.” The family is planning a celebration of life at a later date, and McGrew already has offered the Winter Garden Fire Rescue Department’s participation. Pete Peters is survived by his four sons, all of whom live locally, Tommy Peters, James “Fred” Peters, Glenn Peters and Carl Peters; 10 grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.

normally would have at this time,” Mike Flynn, student pastor, said. “We want to make it as special as we can as they do that walk.” Twenty-nine students gathered in the church’s gymnasium Friday, May 22, all positioned six feet apart and wearing caps and gowns representing their schools. Before walking to the sanctuary, they all had a chance to ceremoniously toss their cap in the air. “Pomp and Circumstance” played while, one by one, the graduates crossed the church stage as their name, high school and future plans were read aloud. Lead Pastor Chuck Carter spoke to the graduates and their families. “This graduating class is going to be known as the ‘Corona Class,’” he said. “But my prayer is that … they’ll stand out for what they’ve gone through.” These graduates won’t just accept the new reality but will define it, he said. The church gave each graduate a gift bag with a Class of 2020 T-shirt; a picture frame; and a book, “How to Become Wise,” written by Doris Mitchell Lisemby, a 102-year-old church member. A festive backdrop gave students a chance to take photos with their families. The ceremony was streamed live Friday night and replayed Monday so family members in other parts of the state and country could take part.

Of the 88,349 parents who responded to a 2020-21 school year survey conducted by Orange County Public Schools, 33,268 — 37% — said they would prefer their children to return to school with safety measures in place. Similarly, of the 20,343 district employees who participated in the survey, 6,695 — 33% — also indicated returning to school as their preference. The survey, conducted over a four-day period the week of May 18, 2020, gave stakeholders an opportunity to share their opinions on how the district should proceed in the next school year.

Orange County School Board approves targeted rezonings The district will move about 175 students to new schools this fall to keep neighborhoods together and provide relief to overcrowded schools. DANIELLE HENDRIX ASSOCIATE EDITOR

“We still have a lot of people joining our community on the west side (who) have already purchased homes, and we may not have the same rate of growth, but this will help to solve some of those issues.” — Pam Gould, Orange County School Board

After the Orange County School Board approved three targeted rezonings, nearly 200 students in West Orange County will be heading to different schools this fall. Targeted rezonings affect a small area and limited number of students. On Tuesday, May 12, the School Board approved unanimously the targeted rezonings that affect two communities in Southwest Orange and two subdivisions in Winter Garden. At a mid-March community meeting, Dr. Carol McGowin, director of student enrollment at Orange County Public Schools, said the district uses a GIS mapping system with a development layer as tools in the rezoning process. Points of consideration include school enrollment counts, future development, infrastructure, feeder patterns and distance from schools. The first rezoning affects 28 students in Dr. Phillips’ Sand Lake Hills neighborhood. These students will be moved from Chain of Lakes Middle School to Southwest Middle School. Until now, the subdivision was split between the two schools. The second rezoning impacts 24 students in the area west of Turkey Lake Road and Interstate 4 near Hillenmeyer Way, stretching south to the intersection of Central Florida and Palm parkways. These students will be moved from Bay Meadows Elementary School to Sand Lake Elementary School. The final targeted rezoning affects roughly 123 students in the Wintermere Pointe and Emerald Ridge neighborhoods in Winter Garden. These students are being moved from Whispering Oak Elementary School to Lake Whitney Elementary School. Parents of students who would be affected by the rezonings were encouraged to provide their input via community surveys, by email or through petitions. Although the targeted rezonings are approved, affected students also have the option of a grandfathered transfer. Such transfers are available for students who are rezoned from one established school to another. In this case, a student can remain at the existing school rather than being assigned to the rezoned school. Grandfathered transfers also are available for students who have been rezoned by OCPS two or more times during a school level at the current address, or for those are rezoned for their fifth- or eighthgrade years. However, under the grandfathered transfer, OCPS does not provide transportation, and siblings must meet the same criteria for the transfer. Michael Swickard, an Emerald Ridge resident, thanked the School Board for giving families the opportunity to make the decision with the grandfather clause as to whether their children could remain at their current school. “I would like to also ask that in the future … when you build the

new relief school, that Emerald Ridge — the community that I live in that is in walking distance to Whispering Oak Elementary — would be considered to be put back into Whispering Oak Elementary,” Swickard said. “Emerald Ridge, like I said before, has a very safe walkway, is very close to it, and our community is strengthened by it.” According to the May 12 School Board presentation, OCPS had not received any community response, whether in support or opposition, for the rezoning from Bay Meadows to Sand Lake Elementary.

For the Chain of Lakes Middle to Southwest Middle rezoning, the presentation states, the district received 12 responses in support of it and none in opposition. And for the Whispering Oak Elementary to Lake Whitney Elementary rezoning, the presentation states, no community response either in support or opposition was listed. “I just want to thank all of my board members and the community for their participation in this unusual targeted rezoning and rezoning in order to help us manage the growth,” said Pam Gould,

Universal Orlando presented its plan last week for reopening the theme park, and the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force gave its unanimous approval. The next step was for the plans to be submitted to the state with a letter of recommendation from Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings. The task force met virtually Thursday, May 21, and heard the details of the theme park’s reopening plan. Field inspections conducted by Orange County officials took place prior to the meeting. They reviewed the theme park’s readiness to implement the plan based on employee health screening and best practices, guest arrival and ticketing, restaurant operations, attraction queue management, signage and communications, and sanitization protocols. Rich Costales, executive vice president of resort operations for Universal, said his team has been working toward a safe opening. Dr. Raul Pino, of the Florida Department of Health-Orange County, provided direction and expressed approval after looking at the procedures Universal had in place. Universal officials asked to open Monday, June 1, and Tuesday, June 2, to team members to test the procedures and make sure they work; Wednesday, June 3, and Thursday, June 4, to invited guests and possibly passholders, to further test the system; and Friday, June 5, to the public. John Sprouls, chief administrative officer, at Universal, said theme park officials outlined three processes: screening, sanitization and spacing. They mapped out every one of the guests’ point of contact, starting with prearrival communication, signage and guest messages. “Signage starts at the toll booth to the parking garage,” Sprouls said. “It will be frequent, will be clear, will be demonstrable and will be enforced.” Team members will have new protocols, as well. “From the time when we schedule folks when they’re coming in, they’re doing self temperature checks, we’re staggering our parking and in the guests’ parking lots,” Sprouls said. Temperatures will be taken for all employees and all guests every day, and the wardrobe procedure has been readdressed. All guests and employees must wear face masks. At the attractions, Sproul said, capacity has been readjusted at each ride and food outlet. All interactive play areas are closed because social distancing is difficult to manage, he said, and they have eliminated most of the water interactions. A virtual line has been implemented for attractions, and single-rider lines are being eliminated. Preshow meet-and-greets are canceled. Restaurants will use single-use menus, and mobile food ordering will be available. Hand sanitizer will be available at the entrance and exit of all restaurants, attractions and vendors. Sixfoot demarcations have been added throughout the park.

ISLAND H2O LIVE! WATER PARK REOPENS Island H2O Live! Water Park in Kissimmee welcomed May 23 its first guests since the coronavirus forced it to shut down in March. “We are excited to reopen and provide an entertaining break from the day-to-day world,” water park General Manager Jim Kunau said. “Our entire team has been working hard to prepare the park and welcome our guests back.” Island H2O is implementing new Safe-Splash Guidelines. “The health, safety and wellbeing of every guest and team member is our utmost priority,” Kunau said. “We also need our guests to help by adhering to social-distancing practices, washing and sanitizing hands frequently, and following safety guidelines provided by our trained staff.” The park will continue to coordinate with local, state and federal agencies as well as public health officials and is prepared to make any and all adjustments as necessary to maintain the highest standards of health and safety. A complete list of all health and safety measures can be found at islandh2olive.com. SMALLER ATTRACTIONS MAKE PLANS

The Bringing Back Tourism Working Group reviewed the reopening plans presented by 13 smaller attractions: Aloma Bowling, Andretti Indoor Karting and Games, Board Walk Bowl, Face Amusement, Fun Spot, Gatorland, Icon Park, K1 Speed, Magical Midway, Nona Adventure Park, Slingshot, Starflyer and Wonder Works. Each had to submit its modified operational policies, which included temperature screenings, safety standards, social distancing guidelines and cleaning protocols. Onsite inspections were conducted prior to the task force meeting. All the guidelines meet both the state mandate and county guidelines, said co-chair Dr. Youcheng Wang, dean of the UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management. “I feel pretty good about where we are as a county, as far as having controlled the spread of the virus to the extent that we could,” Demings said. “If we put sanitary measures in place as we continue to reopen, it will continue to be a positive outcome for us in the long-term.” Demings also discussed the county’s budgeting for the next fiscal year. “We are … looking to streamline our budget process (for Fiscal Year 2020-21),” he said. “The loss of revenues will be felt for many years,” Demings said. “This recovery period of time is likely going to take several years for us to recover. If we can open effectively, we can hopefully reduce the recovery period of time.”

If you’re a resident in the Independence community, you’ve probably noticed a bit of hustle and bustle the last couple of months over at Independence Community Park. Orange County Parks and Recreation Division has been working to level out the field — located at the corner of Avenue of the Arbors and New Independence Parkway — to make it safer and more friendly to those looking to utilize it for recreation, said Matt Suedmeyer, manager of the county’s parks and recreation division. “So when we did the construction and put the playground, sidewalk and all the amenities that are out there, we didn’t do the other half of the park,” Suedmeyer said. “That open field area was just left as it was when the developer just rough graded it out and sodded it. “So we just went back in and tilled it, leveled it the best we can and we’re seeding it,” he said. “Then we’re going in and do some final grade work to level out that open space.” The park still will serve its original purpose as a spot to play, but the leveling out will help make things a bit safer for the families who utilize it, Suedmeyer said. “We’re just doing some improvements to the surface, because it was unlevel, and it was dangerous

— it had some trip hazards and some ankle breakers,” Suedmeyer said. The public park — which includes the open field and developed area — is what is referred to as an adequate public facility park, which is usually about five acres and must be adjacent to an elementary school. Although work done in the main area of the park has been in place for a while, the parks and recreation division had made plans to eventually get back to finishing it completely. “Each year, depending on the budget, we are constructing neighborhood parks throughout developments,” Suedmeyer said. “Independence was the secondto-last one we did, so we went in and put in the first phase — the playground, pavilion, walking path and little skateboard area. Then, there are about two or three acres we didn’t touch — those two or three acres are what we just now went in, tilled, regraded and sodded.” There were a few options, Suedmeyer said, but some ways were more expensive than others. The field — after being tilled and leveled — was seeded with Bahia grass. So far, the biggest issue related to the grass is the recent lack of rain. “We’re just waiting for the seed to come in,” Suedmeyer said. “Of course, it would grow in a lot quicker if we could get some rain — we weren’t expected to be in a drought. As soon as we get some rain, it should start growing in fast. Then it should be a nice, level playing field.”

Scire said. “Our fosters are mostly in that area, but there are some that are over in Orlando and down in Kissimmee. We don’t go out too far, because it’s hard to coordinate with vet visits and stuff like that. “We can only have so many dogs, and each person usually cares for one dog (at a time),” he said. “We’re

When the COVID-19 pandemic started, the Scires received a large response in the call for fosters because so many people were home. “(COVID-19) has really changed the way we operate, because we used to be able to go and do a fullon meet-and-greet with potential adopters, bring the dog, meet them in their home and walk through the home and everything,” Justin Scire 45 Bring to mind 46 ’60s civil rights protest 47 Giants in Greek myths 48 Bob’s partner? 49 Like personal peace 54 Meet and ___ 56 Air freshener targets 59 Colorado ski resort 62 Get to the bottom of 64 ”The Kiss” sculptor 65 String of pearls 68 Tools for removing dandelions 69 Way to go 70 Boring tool 71 Miniature representation 72 Sales pitch 73 Ships out 74 American Dance Theater choreographer (5 to 8) 77 Centerless, as an apple 78 Highland games participant 79 Philosopher David 80|Lily Tomlin character at a switchboard 81 Springing to one’s feet 82 Type of history 87 Arranges 88 Bulky book 92 ”Doesn’t excite me much” 93 New Orleans-to-Nashville dir. 94 Fishing boot 97 Skillful 100 New Haven Ivy Leaguer 102 ”A New Argentina” musical 103 Kidney-related 104 What you do with your buds? 105 Epic poem division 106 Neckwear looped under the chin 107 Sobs 110 Author Sarah ___ Jewett 113 Gravelly sound 114 ’60s muscle car 115 Word after “back” or “barbecue” 116 Conclude 118 Sport-___ 119 Pac-12 school in L.A.

said. “Now … we’ll do a fosterto-adopt program, where potential adopters commit to a week of fostering first and decide if it’s a good fit. Usually, we’ll start with a FaceTime or some kind of video chat and try to talk as face-to-face with a person as we can. We’ll have them walk us through their house and see how the dog interacts in the house while the dog is there. “Our goal, really, is just to help as many dogs as we can, whether they’re puppies or adult dogs,” he said. “We just want to make sure that every dog has a chance at a happy home.”

“That’s why (pilot Mike Young) is there pretty much every week, weather permitting, to pick up as many dogs as he can.” Creegan Canine Rescue has its roots in the memory of Melissa Scire’s mother, Diane Creegan, an avid animal lover. “She loved animals and just really wanted to help out,” Justin Scire said of Diane Creegan. “We’ve been doing it since 2013, on and off. Over the years, we’ve rescued, I’d say, (more than) 1,000 animals.” Along with taking in puppies from rescue flights, Creegan Canine Rescue has partnered with Orange County Animal Services. It has been an especially invaluable partnership since COVID-19 shut down the shelter for a few weeks. Creegan Canine Rescue has experienced significant growth in the last three years, Justin Scire said. As with most rescues, the operation is dependent on fosters, volunteers and donations. The family also is thankful for the support it receives from Windermere High’s FFA program, in which their daughter, Ashley Scire, is involved. “We work in the Horizon West and Windermere areas,” Justin

Most Saturdays, a small plane with precious cargo onboard hits the runway at Orlando Apopka Airport. As soon as that plane rolls to a stop, volunteers flank each side, opening the doors and revealing the treasures inside — rescued puppies. On Saturday, May 16, Justin Scire, of Windermere-based Creegan Canine Rescue, watched from a distance as puppies were gently lifted out of the plane. One by one, each of the nearly 30 puppies onboard was taken over to a fenced-off grassy area and given food and water. Eight of them now are in safe hands at Creegan Canine Rescue, where they are being raised by fosters and the Scire family until they are old enough to be adopted. The puppies aboard that flight came from Alabama, a state that sees an abundance of dogs and puppies and not enough adopters. Many organizations band together to arrange rescue missions in which pups from overpopulated, highkill shelters are placed on flights to places such as Central Florida. Here, rescues such as Creegan give them a second chance at life. “All these puppies are scheduled to be euthanized if no one steps up to rescue,” Justin Scire said.

FROM THE ARCHIVES The popular and award-winning Winter Garden Farmer’s Market has its origins in an earlier version organized by Main Street Winter Garden in the early 1990s. Grants provided by the Main Street program helped small cities revitalize their deteriorating downtown districts, ultimately drawing attention — and shoppers — to architecturally significant historic districts. Main Street Winter Garden transformed into the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation in 1994, which led to the preservation and resurrection of the Edgewater Hotel and the Garden Theatre. The farmer’s market in the photograph was held near buildings that no longer exist, once located in the vicinity of today’s splash pad.

The mission of the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation is to preserve the heritage and architecture of Winter Garden while creating new cultural experiences. The Foundation also preserves the material culture of West Orange County, using it to educate the area’s youth on the community’s rich history.

MAY 26, 1950 Most old print newspapers had a classified advertisement section toward the back, with ads submitted by residents looking to sell or buy items. Realtors advertised lots and homes for sale, and residents let readers know they had homes, apartments or rooms for rent. In the May 26, 1950, issue of Winter Garden Times, one could find some great deals: a house with five rooms, two garages and two upstairs apartments for $7,500; a lovely four-room, one-bath place for $4,500 on Lake Butler; or a threebedroom home, furnished, for $50 per month.

INFLUENCER OF THE WEEK

THOMAS LIGHTBODY

WEST ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOLS If you live within the West Orange High School bubble, then you know Thomas Lightbody. For the last eight years, Lightbody has served as the go-to photographer for the school in every way possible — shooting band concerts and sporting events. When he’s not taking photos for the school, Lightbody also operates his own photo company, TK Photography.

What do you love most about your school? West Orange is family — once a Warrior always a Warrior. There is truly no place like it. What brought you to West Orange? My daughter attended WOHS almost eight years ago as a freshman, and me not being one to sit in the stands somehow convinced the band director (Kenneth) Boyd to let me photograph the band from the sidelines. And the rest, I guess you could say, is history. What’s your favorite part of your job? Being front and center for amazing moments in time — whether it be a game-winning touchdown or a trumpet player playing side-byside on the same stage while his father conducts him. Being able to document those moments is truly priceless.

sit back and truly enjoy the game or show, letting me take the pictures and capture the moments for them. What’s the nicest thing a student or faculty member has done for you? There are so many. A softball parent made me a “Photographer of the Year” trophy once, and recently, a band parent brought me back an official photographer/media vest from the London New Year’s Day parade that I was unable to attend. There are simply too many to mention. The kids, faculty and parents of WOHS are incredible. What do you like doing in your spare time? Spare time? What is that? I am not familiar with that phrase. My spare time is spent volunteering at the WOHS agriscience yard with my wife and the ag kids, usually with the cows or in the greenhouse.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? I would love to go to Southeast Asia, because of the food and the incredible sites to photograph. If you could meet anyone — past or present — who would it be and why? I would love to see my grandmother Lightbody again. She passed when I was very young, and I would love to cook with her and play Scrabble with her and my grandfather. What would you say is your greatest accomplishment? I once took a photograph of the West Orange painted senior parking lot that was featured all over the world — including People Magazine — and, to date, has been viewed in the neighborhood of 10 million times.

What motivates you and pushes you to do your best? The smile on a kid’s face when they see a photograph I took or a banner I designed is priceless and makes all of the hard work worth it. I want West Orange parents to be able to

What fun talents do you possess? Not sure if fun, but I have been told I have the ability to be in the right place at the right time to capture the moments with my camera most likely to make a parent cry.

aturday, May 23, was a big day for the seniors at Foundation Academy as they walked across the stage and officially graduated from high school. Families were seated according to social-distancing guidelines, and students — wearing Foundation Academy face masks — were allowed on the stage one at a time. Each received a rose to give his or her mother, a senior Bible and a diploma cover. Family photos were taken in commemoration. Upper School Principal Sarah Reynolds said the Class of 2020 has been called the “chaos class” because these students were born around the time of 9/11 and are graduating during a pandemic. But, she said, this class should be known as the class of resilience and perseverance.

mid the darkness brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, this is a day of celebration for Lee and Alexis Lovette. It’s Monday, May 25, and the couple — who own and operate CrossFit Winter Garden — stand in their new shrine to fitness. During this grand opening of their facility on Carter Road — across from Windermere Collision Center — a sense of relief can be

felt. The weight of being without a proverbial home has been lifted from their shoulders. The Lovettes, like every other gym owner in the state, have dealt with the virus head-on. That fight nearly cost them the business they had worked so hard to build up. “We actually were forced out by our landlords during this,” Lee Lovette said. “They never offered to help us. Even when rent was three or four days late, they sent notices of eviction — three-day

File photo

In the span of five days, the world of local youth baseball and softball came crashing down when both Windermere Little League and Winter Garden Little League announced they had shut down their respective seasons. Windermere Little League was the first to cancel its season with a Facebook post Friday, May 15. The decision to cancel the season was

difficult, but it was being done in the interest of safety and because of the uncertainty of when — and if — recreation sports will be cleared to play, the post said. “The WLL Board of Directors has been monitoring the impacts of COVID-19,” league officials said in the post. “After pausing for the last two weeks to evaluate the current environment, possible playing options, steps we would need to implement to manage safety and solicit input from local gov-

ernment and health leaders, the WLL Board of Directors has made the decision to cancel the remainder of our Spring 2020 Regular Season.” The call to end the season came just over two weeks after Little League canceled its World Series and Regionals for the first time in its history. For Rex Smith, who coaches the majors softball team, it’s a tough blow for both the kids and coaches — the latter of whom tried their best to get the rest of the season in. “It’s just so disappointing for the kids who were playing,” Smith SEE YOUTH PAGE 16

Shelby Sorrells A graduating senior at Olympia, Shelby Sorrells just finished her four years with the girls water polo team. As a utility player, she played wherever she was needed, but it was back at center defender where she really hit her stride as she helped lead the defense.

When and how did you first get into water polo? I started playing toward the end of middle school because my older sister was playing for our high school team, and our coach was looking for middle-school kids to try and start a 14-and-under team. (Because) I was a sibling, she reached out to me.

THE BASICS

SCHOOL: Olympia GRADE: Senior AGE: 18 SPORT: Water polo POSITION: Utility

for six minutes, you know?” So that’s motivation every game.

Since you first started at Olympia, what has been the biggest change you’ve seen in yourself relating to your game? Definitely in the beginning of my freshman year, I was really timid every time I played, and I would be really scared and didn’t even want that much playing time. Now, I’ve become more of a primary player and starter — I love getting playing time. I’ve definitely become one of our more aggressive players — to the point to where my coach wished I was a little less aggressive sometimes.

What is your favorite part about your position? Moving around to every position is interesting, because it takes practice to learn do each one — the offense and the defense for each one is different. Center defender is my favorite position — that is in the middle, right in front of the cage — and it’s usually defending some of the biggest players on the other team. I’m really defensive-oriented. What is the most challenging part about your position? I’m usually smaller than the opponents I’m playing on, so (because) I don’t have as much strength as them, usually I have to use more skill. That position took a lot of time to build up the skills for.

Do you have a highlight moment for you that stands out during your time at Olympia? I’d say winning districts my junior year last year, because that was a really big moment for us because we had lost districts the year before. Being able to come back and beat the team that had beaten us the year before was very special to all of us, and I got to play with my best friend, so that was a lot of fun.

You’ll be attending the University of Florida in the fall. What are you most excited about? They have a really successful club team there, so honestly one of the things I’m really looking forward to is to join their club team, because I don’t want to give up water polo. My best friend and teammate, Sofia Dahlmann, is also going there, so I’m just looking forward to getting to keep playing with her — especially (because) we didn’t get to have a final game together in high school.

What are the best words of advice you’ve been given about your sport? (Coach) always tells us to just believe in ourselves, and that we are capable of doing what we want to do. She also always says you can do anything for six minutes, because that’s how long each quarter is. Even if we feel like we’re dying, she’ll just be like, “You guys can do anything

said. “We tried so hard to make it work, but by the time the governor’s announcement came out, the seasons had ended — because they end in May. Then Little League International … canceled all the summer AllStar activities, and so really, they canceled everything that would have happened over the summer.” Two days before Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis lifted all restrictions on youth activities Friday, May 22, Winter Garden Little League followed suit by canceling its season. In a Facebook post, the Winter Garden Little League Board of Directors noted the decision to cancel the season wasn’t easy, but it was the only logical choice. “While all options were reviewed and considered, we found this to be the best for the overall health and safety of our players, their families and our volunteers,” league officials said in its post. No matter where you turn, there’s a lot of disappointment

Keeping up higher sanitation standards isn’t that hard, said Mike Willey, general manager and coach at D1 Training in Dr. Phillips. It also helps that the D1 facility is new. It had been open for about 30 days before the pandemic forced its doors shut. “We are a brand-new facility,” Willey said. “If you’re looking for someplace clean and organized, there is nothing newer than us. Worrying about things being dirty or being an environment for germs isn’t really a big concern.” The bigger concern for Willey was having a new facility shut down almost as soon as it had opened. D1 had to freeze a majority of its memberships — meaning there was no money coming in. Because of the freeze, some members dropped, leaving the gym with only 13. Willey said he and his members were elated when they learned D1 would be allowed to reopen.

D1 TRAINING READY FOR SECOND TRY

“I thought, ‘Let’s go!’” Willey said. “Finally — we had a lot of stuff planned and in the pipeline ready to rock and roll. Our grand opening was scheduled to happen that weekend we got closed, so it was a relief to finally be open.” D1 opened Monday, May 18, and like CrossFit Winter Garden, it will be sanitized frequently. Furthermore, staff also will be conducting temperature checks with a laser thermometer of everyone who enters the facilities. Willey said there has been a decent turnout, but the hope is that people start warming back up to coming to the gym, which hopefully will be aided by D1 holding special discounts. And there is a bigger hope that goes beyond just surviving and making money, Willey said. It’s also as much about helping to keep people healthy so they are better equipped to fight the virus and slow its spread. “Here, you’re working out, and obviously that’s going to keep you healthier,” Willey said. “If you’re coming here three days a week like we’d like you to, your chances of getting it are very low from my knowledge and my understanding. I think it’s very important for just a general health and wellbeing standpoint, but also to keep your immune system up — it’s huge.”

all the way around with everything being officially over, said Adam Bates — who coaches baseball in the league. “I was hoping the league would do something — let them play,” Bates said. “It’s important to play through your 12-year-old year. But then you get into family vacations, and what do you do when you show up and teams don’t have enough kids — people are in bad spots. There’s just so many moving parts to all of this.” However, both Windermere Little League and Winter Garden Little League are exploring options for opportunities to play again in group settings. SQUEEZE AWAIT NEW SEASON

While Little League is officially done, the Florida Collegiate Summer League is still on — though there will be some differences. This season, the Winter Garden Squeeze — along with the league’s other teams — will start up a two-week preseason on June 15 before beginning a 30-game season the week of June 29. Along with a jam-packed

schedule, rosters have been expanded, and the league will be divided into two divisions. Division I is for elite players who were invited by the league, while Division II is open registration for players who are currently on a college roster, have been a committed 2020 high school senior or are attending a post-grad program with proven collegiate ability. The biggest change is there will be no use of host families for players because to the possible costs associated with regular COVID-19 testing for both players and the host families. Despite the changes, Bates — who serves as the general manager of the Squeeze — believes this season, the league may see some of the best baseball it has ever seen. “We’re one of only a handful of leagues playing,” Bates said. “We’re getting some very talented, local kids (who) would go and play in some of the bigger leagues. … These kids are going to be amped up, because they didn’t get any innings during the spring.”

notices to vacate — and they were extremely, extremely horrible to us during this time. “We were forced out, but God works in mysterious ways, and an amazing spot became available,” he said. “It’s absolutely perfect for us — we’re saving a lot of money and we’re charging on.” The space they had occupied — next to Mosaic Church in Winter Garden — now sits empty as the Lovettes celebrate a quasi-rebirth in the newer, smaller space. Luckily for the Lovettes, the gym’s opening couldn’t have come at a better time, as gyms and fitness centers around the state are reopening after being given the OK by Gov. Ron DeSantis as part of the Full Phase One plan that went into effect Monday, May 18. As a part of the reopening process, gyms are required to operate only up to 50% capacity while also maintaining stringent cleaning practices such as wiping down machines and weights after use. For places such as gyms, which have been among the hardest-hit businesses the last few months, owners are amenable to the new rules — mainly because they always have been a clean-centric business, Lee Lovette said. “Our sanitation guidelines

and procedures were already in place before coronavirus hit,” Lee Lovette said. “So when it hit, people were like, ‘Oh, are you sanitizing everything?’ Well, we have never not sanitized everything. Me being as OCD as I am with my gym, with my programming and with my equipment, it wasn’t much of a change.”
