OH MY!

After a lost bear found its way into an east Winter Garden neighborhood, local wildlife experts say a little education can quell some fears. STAFF WRITER

ix days after Winter Garden residents spotted a Florida black bear scavenging for food in their neighborhood, officials from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission caught the animal. Residents spotted the bear Aug. 6 in an east Winter Garden neighborhood near East Bay and Christopher streets. Annie Collins snapped a photo of the hungry bear, which she later posted on Facebook. And although Collins would prefer her neighborhood to be bear-free, she understands it’s part of living in a high-growth community. “This bear has been pushed out,” Collins said. “I’m sure if it hadn’t been for all this construction of these homes, the hospital grounds way back toward Apopka, the expansion of the toll roads, this bear would probably have somewhere to go, but it’s being pushed out. … That’s the only reason I called FWC, it’s because I don’t want that bear to become (accustomed) to people to where they have to do something to it or it attacks somebody and you have to kill it.”

FWC COSTSHARE GRANT OPPORTUNITY The FWC is providing a funding opportunity for governing bodies located in areas with high levels of human-bear conflicts. The funds will be awarded to local governments making serious efforts to ensure residents secure their garbage, and will be used to cost-share the purchase of bear-resistant trash cans. A total of $825,000 is available, $376,900 of which came from proceeds of the 2015 bear hunt permit sales. The grant application deadline is Oct. 16.

Because of the bear sighting, many residents did not allow their children to play outside until it had been caught and removed. Collins’ own 79-year-old neighbor had food she had been growing in her garden go missing. “It’s just hungry,” Collins said. “Where’s their food? You’ve pushed down the trees; you’ve pushed down the berries; there’s now nothing. It ate all of my neighbor’s fruit and vegetables. She had a garden over in that house.” After catching the bear Friday, Aug. 12, FWC officials now are relocating it to Ocala National Forest, the nearest appropriate bear habitat, said FWC spokeswoman Carli Segelson. West Orange resident Don Kendzior, a certified Florida master naturalist and the president of Noah’s Notes, a local nonprofit environmental organization that advocates for nature and wildlife conservation, said he suspects development is the reason why the bear strayed into a residential area. “It possibly could have been living in a natural area that was destroyed by development forcing it out to find a new home,” Kendzior said. “Wildlife will often follow undisturbed corridors, especially waterways, rail or utility lines, to move between habitats in urban and suburban areas.” However, Jim Bronzo, founder of Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary, holds a slightly different theory. He d o e s n ’t completely discredit development as the main reason, but he said bears are smart and that they likely remember the traumatic events

from the controversial bear hunt in 2015. “Since that bear hunt, bears have shown up in places that they never were before,” Bronzo said. “These new bears are doing exactly what we told FWC was going to happen. The hunters went deep into the woods, where they’re eating their strawberries, not messing with anybody. … That’s what this bear was, this Winter Garden bear.” The Winter Garden bear caused unease among residents, who were fearful for their children, considering several walk to school or bus stops. Taylor Clark, the education and wildlife coordinator at Oakland Nature Preserve, conducted research in the Smoky Mountains where residents peacefully live alongside bears. Clark believes residents’

panic can be reduced with a little education. “It comes as a shock because I don’t think people understand bear psychology, so they’re really intimidated by bears,” Clark said. “People think that they’re meat eaters, and they’re going to come after them and eat them. But I think when people understand more about bears and their biology, they’ll understand they’re just looking for an easy handout.” Clark suggests residents consider buying special locks for their garbage bins. For municipalities interested in buying bear-resistant trash cans, the FWC is offering grants that can be applied for by any governing body. “The worst attractant to bears is household garbage,” said FWC officer Greg Workman. “Be very careful of when you put your garbage out. … Putting it out early could be almost like ringing a dinner bell to wildlife. So try to not put it out the night before.” Workman advises all residents in a neighborhood to cooperate to deter bears from coming because even one person who doesn’t comply can lure a bear to the neighborhood. Workman also offers the tip of using whistles or airhorns to drive a bear out of an area. “They’re gentle animals, and they get scared,” Bronzo said. “They eat berries. They’re not meat eaters. And the people just freak out, and I keep seeing all these things on the news. … it’s unbelievable. You’d think it was Bigfoot or something, I mean, there’s bears everywhere.” Contact Gabby Baquero at gbaquero@orangeobserver.com.

QUICK TIPS A bear’s primary reason for entering a neighborhood is food. Here are ways you can make your community a little less appetizing. n Place household garbage outside during morning of trash pick-up day. n Invest in bearresistant trash cans. n Avoid using bird feeders, unless they are bearresistant. n Use a lowvoltage electrical fence. n Avoid growing fruit-bearing trees. n Avoid leaving pet food outside. n Clean barbecue grills left outside.

IF YOU SEE A BEAR n Do not approach n Do not frighten the bear n Back away slowly n Report it to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission n Keep it in sight n Monitor ear position n Use bear pepper spray if it charges

Orange County School Board District 7 ON COMMON CORE: DEAN: Having standards (is) imperative in providing highquality education to ensure students succeed at a higher level and are prepared for the workforce or for college. They serve as a guide for teachers and can help parents feel confident that their students are receiving the education they deserve. But school and learning should be fun, and too many students have developed a dislike for school, because of the idea that “one size fits all.” A hands-on approach and reallife applications are limited in our schools today. FITZPATRICK: I believe in having standards; I just don’t believe we need this endless search for the secret super standards that will magically transform all our efforts into success. … I like the emphasis on critical thinking and productive struggle in Common Core, but I think great teachers were already hitting those standards. I vehemently oppose Common Core because of the inherent destructive nature of a test-driven education. The Common Core philosophy has flopped in China, (which) had a national curriculum, national common assessments, extreme high-stakes testing and national control over what is taught on the secular and spiritual level. … Their test-centered approach ... systematically killed ... creativity and innovation. MOORE: It has been an incredibly challenging few years, with the large number of state reforms and now potential for additional change with new federal education legislation. If it were up to me, I would reduce further the number of state assessments (because) the time necessary for lengthy testing windows each year is a drain on resources and time on instruction. I would reduce some of the high stakes associated with the assessments. I want to increase opportunities for teacherdriven authentic learning opportunities which stimulate a love of learning. Relevant, cross-curricular lessons are vitally important, particularly for mastering science and social-studies standards. ROUNDS: I strongly stand behind the Florida Standards. The Florida Standards have been put into place to help our students reach their fullest potential by promoting a deeper level of critical thinking and problem-solving. … These new standards will ensure that our children will maintain America’s competitive edge, so that they will be well prepared with the skills and knowledge necessary to compete with not only their peers here at home, but with students from around the world. I believe the only disadvantage that we are currently facing is the lack of training on understanding the level of complexity of each of the standards.

ON THE RELOCATION OF MAXEY ELEMENTARY:

jnesslar@OrangeObserver.com

DEAN: Decisions affecting a community should not be made without discussion and transparency. In speaking with many of Maxey’s alumni and community members, I learned that many did not want the school to be relocated. The history of the school is of utmost importance, and people are feeling as if they are disrespected and unimportant. That community will lose an important part of its history. Rumors are that their community school will be destroyed, and the land will be sold to the nearby car auction.

Michelle Gentry, mgentry@OrangeObserver.

FITZPATRICK: I like schools to be near the students they serve — the home-school approach where parents are more likely to be involved. I know that there are many different reasons to move schools — make room for other municipal projects, integration, build bigger facilities, etc. In situations like this, I think it is best to look for the win-win as much as possible. We need to ask what is best for the students. We also need to listen to the stakeholders and be sensitive to their concerns. In the end, in my heart of hearts, I believe in community schools that are near the students they serve. MOORE: I have been the champion for rebuilding and relocating Maxey Elementary School. The school has had low enrollment in spite of years of receiving high marks. I believe location in an industrial zone has been a detriment. With the new location at Ninth Street and Story Road, I have confidence full enrollment can be achieved. ROUNDS: I will need to further investigate this question before answering. I want to know the concerns of families in the area as well as the needs of the community in terms of programs needed in the area.

ON MAXEY’S MAGNET PROGRAM: DEAN: A program with good administration, teachers, staff and extra-curricular programs promoting school pride, parent involvement and fun is what I would like to see. Sports medicine and science magnets, where students can learn the business world of sports writers, lawyers, agents, video productions, etc., could be good, as would a vocational/career magnet. FITZPATRICK: I would like to see a strong elementary school debate program that would teach students to argue their ideas in a civil manner. A debate program at this early of an age would also teach the students valuable critical thinking skills, research skills, listening skills and organization skills. MOORE: The district is currently developing a performing-arts magnet which will hopefully develop into a flourishing relationship with the Garden Theatre. As a professional musician, I hope to shepherd the magnet process through full board approval. ROUNDS: No answer provided.

DEAN: I think laptops and tablets are beneficial because students can access more information at a faster rate, and they are less tedious to carry around than textbooks. Technology should not be the sole way of teaching. Students have different learning styles, and most benefit from hands-on and interaction from teachers and peers. Technology should not be a substitute for having an experienced, caring teacher within close proximity of learners.

and middle schools. I have watched first-hand as Ocoee Middle School and eventually Ocoee High School students became more engaged in their own learning. The middle school has been recognized by the Apple Corporation as a School of Distinction and Ocoee High Principal Bill Floyd as the State Technology Principal of the Year. That being said, it is important for students to still be able to write in cursive and enjoy a good book.

FITZPATRICK: Students love using technology, so I think we need to use technology whenever appropriate. Students should not have to power down when they come to school. I don’t believe technology will ever be able to replace a great teacher, but I do believe it can serve as an enhancement to the learning process. … There are studies that show test scores have gone down when students use technology. We need to keep an eye on this dynamic to make sure it doesn’t happen to our students.

ROUNDS: I completely support adding technology into the classrooms and into students’ hands. However, the new no-phone policy can place a damper on tools that teachers can use to be creative in their classrooms. Of course, this would be at schools that do not have some type of devices. Technology is two-fold when it comes to affecting student learning. If it is being used properly, it can increase student engagement and the opportunity to have more knowledge at our children’s fingertips.

MOORE: I am extremely grateful to the Orange County taxpayers for the half-cent sales tax (that) has funded our one-to-one digital program. This means a device (laptop computer) is provided to every student at all 19 high schools and a handful of elementary

Independent Living

DEAN: Teacher and support shortages not only exist in Orange County but all over the nation. College students are not majoring in education because the teaching profession is not as appealing as it was in the past. Orange County can attract and retain qualified teachers and staff by offering opportunities for growth and advancement; providing collaboration, mentoring and a better work-life balance; and most importantly, rewarding them with better pay. FITZPATRICK: Orange County is experiencing teacher shortages for many reasons, but I believe the greatest rea-

son is because of the demoralizing Marzano Teacher Evaluation system we are using to assess our teachers. … This evaluation system is driving great teachers to early retirement. … Also, college students are not going into the education field — down from 11% to 4% of college students going into education. MOORE: I’m pleased to announce that there are only a handful of teacher positions yet to be filled. This is remarkable noting there are (more than) 13,000 positions in Orange County Schools. Teacher shortages have been systemic across the country.

ON STANDARDIZED TESTING: DEAN: Accountability is important and testing will not go away. However, there needs to be balance. First and foremost, students are children, and it is proven that children process and learns in different ways. Passing a test just to pass for county or state requirements is a great disservice and injustice to our teachers and students and is not an accurate assessment of learning. Alternative forms and multiple measures of assessing performance can and should be utilized, including: authentic portfolios of students work throughout the year; projects; oral presentations; interviews; and teacher-made tests.

•

FITZPATRICK: I don’t agree with teachers or students being assessed on one day, by one test. High-stakes testing and teaching is a misguided approach to education. We have allowed the education process to be turned into a very stressful experience that is no longer fueled by a love of learning. The best of students can grind through and survive, but the strugglers are kicked to the curb when their weaknesses become the sole focus of their education, and they end up leaving our schools no closer to discovering, developing and moving in the direction of their dreams.

Assisted Living

•

I believe this is due to statemandated transition to more rigorous standards and performance pay. Education reform has often met steep opposition from teachers unions, and it is incumbent upon good administrators to assist our teachers in managing the deluge of legislative mandates. ROUNDS: (Some) claim that the Marzano Teacher Evaluation System is driving teachers away, but the fact … is that the teaching profession is no longer respected by those making decisions. Many teachers have worked many years and are living on salaries that are disgraceful.

2016 ELECTION PRIMER

ON OCPS’ TEACHER SHORTAGE:

ON CLASSROOM TECHNOLOGY:

MOORE: I support an accountability system for students, teachers and administrators. School districts are responsible to demonstrate excellence to the taxpayers for every dollar they receive. I support rigorous state standards. As teachers master these state standards and collaboratively develop content-rich lesson plans, our students will benefit. ROUNDS: I believe that there are tests that should be in place to see where we can strengthen gaps in learning. We need to hold teachers accountable; however, the system we are (using) now is unfair. The current assessments for both students and teachers should be adjusted.

Back to the grindstone S

ome parents jumped for joy, while others wiped away tears as their children returned to their classrooms to begin the 2016-17 school year. For one Ocoee school — Re-

naissance Charter School at Crown Point — this year promises to be one of special significance. Renaissance opened its doors for the first time. And with construction in full swing at the West Orange High relief school, the Warrior campus on Beulah Road is beginning the final year of severe overcrowding — with a new principal at the helm. GABBY BAQUERO AND AMY QUESINBERRY RHODE

those goals,” Principal Brett Taylor said. “We also have a very solid parent communication program where parents can log in and get real-time progress on their child instead of having to wait for quarterly progress reports. Parents also are required to commit to 20 hours per year — 30 hours if they have more than one student attending — to volunteering.” As a father of two kids with 26 years of education experience, Taylor is no stranger to managing school-aged children. He spent his first eight years in education teaching emotionally challenged students, spent 14 years working in leadership roles across grade levels involving elementary, middle and high school, and served as the principal in middle school and elementary levels in Georgia and Florida for the last four years. He is a native Floridian born in Fort Lauderdale who holds a bachelor’s degree in special education from High Point University in North Carolina and a master’s degree in educational leadership from Kennesaw State University in Georgia. Now at Renaissance, he hopes to foster a caring culture to cultivate learning. “Today’s students do not care what you know until they are certain that you care,” Taylor said. “Building that bridge will lead to the desire for learning, that is when the ball gets rolling.” Although Renaissance presently only accepts children from kindergarten to sixth grade, the school will be creating new grades as their students advance every following year until they reach eighth grade.

WEST ORANGE HIGH

It’s 9 o’clock Monday morning at West Orange High School, and Bill Floyd makes his way through the courtyard on his first day of classes at the most-crowded public school in Orange County. The new principal said WOHS has about 4,300 students on its main and ninth-grade campuses, which were built for a combined capacity of 4,000. “You take a step, and then side step to get around somebody, take a step, side step to get around somebody,” Floyd said of maneuvering around overcrowded campuses. There are 1,013 students alone in the Class of 2017. Floyd isn’t too worried about leading the masses, though. In his first few years as principal of Apopka High, students numbered more than 4,000. This is West Orange’s final year as the largest Orange County Public Schools high school. For the 2017-18 academic year, about 1,860 ninth-, 10th- and 11thgraders will be rezoned and reassigned to the new WOHS relief school presently under construction at 5523 Winter Garden-Vineland Road, Windermere. “The current challenge is to make sure that every student is served with an individualized education,” Floyd said. “And that’s really hard when you’re working with such a large number. “It’s real important that at least one adult on the campus makes some sort of personal connection

with that person,” he said. “It could be me, heck, it could be the custodian. Someone needs to take an interest in that kid and make him know he’s valued.” The principal likened education to customer service: “It needs to be a collection of people that need to help folks get what they came in for.” To do that, changes were made for this school year. A third lunch period was added, stretching lunch times from 11:02 a.m. to 12:23 p.m. Four portable classrooms were also placed on the main campus near the stadium and 900 Building. “It kind of eats into our ticketselling area,” Floyd said. “But we had to.” More student parking was made available inside the perimeter gates near the bus loop. Floyd said that while it’s not an ideal solution — vehicles are not permitted to leave until the last bus pulls out — it will work for some students. West Orange has seven additional employees this year, too: a language arts teacher, two science and two social studies teachers, one permanent substitute teacher and one security guard. The school didn’t need to worry about purchasing and installing more lockers for the influx of students because nearly all of the textbooks are digitized and many of the lockers currently on campus aren’t being used because of OCPS’ digital format.

“Today’s students do not care what you know until they are certain that you care. Building that bridge will lead to the desire for learning, that is when the ball gets rolling.”

Renaissance Charter School at Crown Point welcomed more than 600 kindergarten through sixth-grade students on its inaugural first day. The charter school is owned by Charter Schools USA, which currently manages 77 schools in seven states. The location in Ocoee was chosen because of an anticipated need for more schools in the area. “We decide to build schools where there is an anticipated demand or lack of choices,” said CSUSA Chairman Ken Haiko. “We heard from many parents who were on waiting lists for our other schools. We did a feasibility study and found that there was a definite demand for educational choices in Ocoee.” The charter school board highly prides itself on its implementation of personalized learning plans. At the beginning of each school year, the students work with teachers and parents to create individualized learning goals, which are, periodically, compared with their progress throughout the year. Parents are also encouraged to be involved in their child’s education. “Each student works with his or her teacher and parents to set goals and map out ways to achieve

Home At Last program appoints new chairman COMMUNITY EDITOR WEST ORANGE A new chairman has been selected to lead the Home At Last program that provides mortgage-free homes to disabled veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Gary Atwill, a U.S. Navy veteran of the Vietnam War, will assume the duties previously handled by Bill Criswell. Criswell founded Home At Last in 2007. He said that at age 91, it’s time for him to hand the reins to someone younger. “I just feel like it’s time for someone else to head up the program,” Criswell said. “I think Gary will absolutely do a good job.” Atwill essentially has served as co-chair for several years, he said, so he knows the details of the operation. “It is incredibly humbling and quite a challenge to follow the Home At Last founder, Bill Criswell,” Atwill said. “The organizational structure has been very successful, and I do not foresee making any changes in the formula. The seventh Home At Last home is under construction, and we look forward to more in the near future.” The first six houses have been constructed in Oakland. Joshua Cope and his family received the first house in 2008. The typical

we needed to do something to express our appreciation for their service and sacrifice, and we felt that … this was an opportunity for the whole community … to step up and help us.” Following Cope, combatwounded veterans and their families who moved into new houses thanks to Home At Last were U.S. Army SPC Marcus Griffin, U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Patrick Corcoran, U.S. Army Sgt. Jeffrey Kelly, U.S. Army Cpl. Jeremy Voels and U.S. Marine Cpl. Ronald Clayton Barnes Jr. Work has just begun on a seventh home for U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Brandon Wittwer and his family, and an eighth home for U.S. Army Capt. Elmer Rivera and his family is expected to be completed this year. “The program provides the entire community an opportunity to express their thanks and appreciation to the veteran family for their service and sacrifice,” Criswell said. “The community has responded generously. Individuals, clubs, corporations, churches, architects, engineers, contractors, sub-contractors, material suppliers all have combined to make the mortgage-free homes a reality.” “These mortgage-free homes make it possible for combatwounded veterans and their families to truly be home at last,” Atwill said.

Sale complete The developer made an offer of $177,000, higher than the original price of $152,000. Additionally, if the developer chooses to sell the property within five years of the purchase, it will have to pay a portion of impact fees back to the city. “The (city) staff has been very much in favor of this project,” City Manager Mike Bollhoefer said. “Probably the biggest weakness in our downtown is not having living quarters.” The apartments will be located at the intersection of Tremaine Street and Boyd Street in downtown Winter Garden, between the Central Florida Railroad Museum and the Winter Garden Art Association’s SoBo Gallery.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Commissioners approved an ordinance that calls for a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensary activity in the city of Winter Garden, excluding activities that have final approval for the city or where city regulation is preempted by Florida law. The passage of recent legislation raises “substantial questions regarding the impact of Medical Cannabis Activities … upon the public health, safety and welfare within the City of Winter Garden,” according to the ordinance. Therefore, Winter Garden plans a moratorium, which will last 270 days, while city staff researches potential impacts of medical marijuana. The state preempts the city from regulating cultivation and processing of medical marijuana, City Attorney Kurt Ardaman said. However, the city is permitted

to regulate dispensing facilities within its boundaries. During the moratorium, the city won’t process permits or other items related to medical marijuana-dispensing facilities. Dispensaries serve as retail facilities for the sale and distribution of medical marijuana. “During that period of time, staff believes we will have the opportunity to develop appropriate regulations that deal with dispensing facilities and bring back before the expiration of the 270 days, regulations that the commission can consider and will be up for public reading and consideration on how to deal with these dispensing facilities, the retail providing of what’s allowed under the law,” Ardaman said. The ordinance is of concern to Knox Nursery, which was licensed in December 2015 to grow and dispense medical marijuana. Tara Tedrow, an attorney representing Knox Nursery, came to the meeting to clarify the effects of the moratorium. “While the moratorium would not allow for Knox to open a dispensing facility, which we acknowledge — we don’t necessarily agree with, and we would object to that aspect of it because the state did give us permission to grow, cultivate, process and dispense from the 940 Avalon Road site — we do understand the moratorium would not stop the first two components but stop dispensing,” Tedrow said.

Residents question Oakland Park expansion Neighbors say mature trees are slated for removal and more traffic will pose an additional risk to nearby residential roadways. AMY QUESINBERRY RHODE COMMUNITY EDITOR

Oakland residents are concerned about some of the plans that have been presented for the next phase of Oakland Park, which will be built in the town limits. Many of their homes either face or back up to the subdivision expansion or are on nearby streets that will be affected by additional traffic the community will produce. Town officials held a work session with Lake Apopka 2012 LLC before their Aug. 9 commission meeting to get an update on the development’s next phase and to answer residents’ questions. Lake Apopka 2012 LLC was incorporated four years ago by Crescent Communities, which purchased Oakland Park in 2013. A total of 800 units are planned upon build-out in the 300-acre master-planned community, which is situated in both the town of Oakland and the city of Winter Garden. The town and Crescent Communities representatives are still in discussions regarding revisions to the development. The company modified plans based on feedback received at a Planning & Zoning meeting in July. It increased the lot sizes along the development’s perimeter and created a linear park along Starr

OAKLAND

Street. A portion of Starr will be widened and paved. Residents were allowed to make comments and ask questions after the presentation. Felix Gonzalez, who lives on Macchi Avenue in Winters Landing, was upset to learn that all of the mature oak trees behind his home will be removed, meaning there will be no landscape buffer between his property and the homes in the southwest portion of Oakland Park. Yolanda Jackson, a resident of Vandermeer Avenue in Southern Oaks, expressed her concern about the traffic flow in her neighborhood. Traffic consultant Brent Lacy, representing the Littlejohn planning firm, said his company looked at several options, including one with a western Oakland Park entrance and exit at Vandermeer and one that omitted the paving of Starr. The current plan has western exits at Demens Avenue and a location south of Vick Avenue. Lacy said by upgrading streets and creating multiple entrances and exits, traffic will be dispersed and residents shouldn’t notice that much of an increase. Another Winters Landing resident asked about getting a traffic signal at the neighborhood’s entrance on Oakland Avenue, citing difficulty exiting

MONEY MATTERS The town has been awarded four separate, large sums of money to further facilitate infrastructure and public facilities construction. This includes a $1 million appropriation to continue with construction of the centralized sanitary sewer initiative; a $270,270 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for construction of a stormwater treatment infrastructure; a $184,803 grant from the St. Johns River Water Management District to further assist with stormwater treatment; and a $225,000 grant from the Orange County Department of Arts and Cultural Facilities.

NOW PLAYING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11A

Each year, the church selects a musical with a message it feels reflects the values of the church and its community. But the summer musicals also bring community members together at the church. Ocoee resident Dustin Russell first walked through the doors of St. Luke’s United Methodist Church three years ago, when he was invited to try out for the church’s production of “Big Fish.” Now, he attends the church and is involved in the worship team for the church’s contemporary service. In “Big River,” he stars as Huckleberry Finn. “I just kind of never left,” Russell said. “It’s been a wonderful experience.” Productions at St. Luke’s draw a mix of people. About half are church members, but the other half are from the community. “The program is designed so we are out in the community but we are also bringing the community in at such a low ticket cost,” MacKinnon said. “We can let people see this really amazing, powerful piece of theater that speaks to our values but also entertains the masses.”

COMMUNITY EFFORT

This year, the production has brought together some big names in the Central Florida theater community — many of whom have never worked together. Ken Rush, the director of theater at West Orange High School, is a big part of the show — but he’s not directing this time. Rush takes the stage as an actor, playing the King, a comical character in the show. “Big River” is a musical based off the classic Mark Twain novel, “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” which is set in the time period leading up to the Civil War. While a humorous story about a wild-mannered boy named Huckleberry Finn, the musical also delves into more serious topics, many of which still ring true for the modern world. Huckleberry Finn runs away from home to escape from his violent father and ends up teaming up with Jim, the slave who seeks to free his family. Huckleberry Finn views Jim as property, not human — a lesson that he learned from the world around him. But along the way, he learns that Jim is indeed human

and more like him than he ever thought. The journey Huckleberry Finn takes to come to this conclusion is what drew Russell to the part. He feels portraying Huckleberry Finn’s transformation is powerful. “His journey from the beginning of the show, from being that little punk kid to realizing that everyone is the same — what people view as what is right can sometimes be the wrong thing to do, especially when it comes to slavery,” Russell said. The play’s message resonated with other actors as well. Rachel Parker, a recent gradu-

ate of Olympia High School, feels the heaviness of her part. Parker plays Alice’s daughter, a slave, in the show. “It’s rough, actually,” she said of the role. “Just because you have to connect to things of the past and being in slavery. … I’m not used to not having a voice; I’m very outspoken. Being in a role where you have to be meek and, obviously, as a slave you have to listen to people above you, is very hard.” Ultimately, it is a show and message that people of all ages can enjoy. “I think people will enjoy it,” Rush said. “It is a family show by all means. It’s a history lesson, too. …We’re not trying to make a racial statement in this show, but it’s a look into history with song and dance. It’s not as heavy as ‘Roots,’ but it’s a good show to bring your young kids to that can start some good family discussion about the race issues and history in general.”

THEATER PROGRAM The theater program at St. Luke’s will expand in the coming year. MacKinnon will go from being a part-time staff member to a full-time staff member and the church and will lead the program, which will involve more theater activities during the school year. The church is also building a new building to house the contemporary worship services and the theater program.

Jim, a slave in the pre-Civil War era, presses on toward freedom, with the hopes of one day being reunited with his family. Like Jim, Morman has had his share of struggles to overcome. Earlier in life, he became ill. He struggled with a drug addiction. He lacked confidence in his performance abilities. But over time, Morman’s struggles made him stronger. “My challenge was to reunite myself with who I was,” he said. “Each one of those challenges caused me to question, ‘Can I make it?’” This summer is the fifth year St. Luke’s has put on a large-scale production, directed by Steve MacKinnon, St. Luke’s director of contemporary music and theater. The production runs through Aug. 21.

THE GROVE ORLANDO BOOGIES AT BIRTHDAY BASH

What you’re holding in your hands is the product of more than a year of planning. It’s the product of our wildest dreams — a bold step for a company that last month celebrated our 110th anniversary. Welcome, readers, to the first edition of the Windermere Observer, a sister paper of the West Orange Times & Observer, which has roots that date back to the Winter Garden Ricochet in 1905. For more than a century, our newspaper — through all its previous owners and iterations — covered the entire West Orange region with just one edition. Today, that changes. Put simply: West Orange has grown too large for one hyperlocal community newspaper. For longtime readers: this new Windermere Observer will cover Windermere, Horizon West, Dr. Phillips, Bay Hill, Gotha and MetroWest, while the West Orange Times & Observer will renew its focus on Winter Garden, Ocoee and Oakland. As the 10th newspaper owned by the Sarasota-based Observer Media Group, the Windermere Observer will strive to deliver on OMG’s slogan: “You. Your Neighbors. Your Neighborhood.”

“I’ve always wanted a bar, a nice, cozy and comfortable lounge where people can stay for a little while,” Winter said. “We introduce them to the different wines we have and give them samples of mostly everything they want to try. You choose what you like and find your palate that way.” With 20 wine selections on the menu — including Chilean, German and Spanish varieties — and craft, flavored and draft beers, 269 West caters to many different palates. “We rotate a lot of the beers,” Winter said. “Pretty much every time you come in, you’ll see a different beer on draft or in the bottle.” And Matthew’s Steaks & More lives on through the wine lounge with German specials such as wiener schnitzel and German bratwurst. Also on the menu are filet mignon, New York strip steak, flatbreads and small-bite platters. Additionally, happy hour is constant and includes $3.50 domestics and $5 house wine.

Matthew Winter, owner of 269 West Wine Lounge, opened the bar in July 2013 after his parents’ steakhouse closed in 2012.

When his family’s steakhouse closed a few years ago, Matthew Winter wanted to venture out and try something new. That turned out to be a wine lounge in Ocoee, called 269 West Wine Lounge in honor of its location — at 269 West Road. “This is a nightlife bar concept with food,” Winter said. “It’s a wine bar and restaurant with small appetizers, nightlife, live music and private events. (Guests) can book the entire place. There’s a lot of German background, too, because we’re a German family.” Winter’s parents previously owned Matthew’s Steaks & More, which was located on Maguire Road between Ocoee and Windermere. His parents are chefs, and the family moved to the United States from Germany years ago to start a restaurant, which they named after Winter. They sold the steakhouse four years ago after a good run from 1998 to 2012. In July 2013, it became his turn to be the restaurateur. With about 20 years of experience in bartending and the service industry, he knew he wanted to open a wine bar. His parents went back to Germany for a while as he looked at some potential locations.

Jonathan and Rebecca White frequently joked about moving to Florida from their home in Delaware. It actually happened in April, when he was hired as the new pastor of West Orange Church of Christ, in Winter Garden. White, 39, has led the congregation at the church at 1450 Daniels Road since mid-May after applying to the advertisement for a new pastor and successfully completing the interview process. He pastored a church for nine years in Delaware. Allen Mann, executive minister at Church of Christ, is pleased with the hire. “We are a simple church where families can come and connect with God while their children or teens have fun learning about Jesus,” he said. “We have an executive minister, a children’s minister and a youth minister, and Jonathan makes a great addition to our team as our preaching minister.” The new pastor said he uses humor and refers to current events in his sermons to share the Christian faith. On a recent Sunday, he talked about gossip and how destructive it can be and referenced Taylor Swift and Kanye West as an example. “We can get caught up talking about these things and talking

negatively about people,” he said. “The life that Christ created for us is not where we’re tearing people down but rather we’re building people up.” White’s focus is on strengthening his new church, expanding programs and exploring avenues of connecting with the community. There is a plan to expand the church’s small-groups schedule in the fall. These are essential for building friendships and relationships within the church, White said. The city of Winter Garden has approached West Orange Church of Christ about building soccer fields on the land behind the church. “We like the idea of creating a community space on our property,” White said. “We want to find a way to make it happen.” The church’s mission is to live out the fullness of Christ in the community and beyond by proclaiming the good news of Jesus, preparing followers for ministry and providing meaningful service to others. It is this hope that White shares with his congregations, from Pennsylvania, where he began his first-time ministry, to Delaware to Florida. The pastor was born in Mississippi, raised in Texas and graduated from Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas. He and his wife, Rebecca, are the parents of 5-year-old Clive,

whom everyone calls Trooper because of his fighting determination in the hospital. Clive has congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, a breathing disorder that results in a shortage of oxygen and a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood. When he was 5 months old, he was placed in the care of the Whites, who later adopted him. “Something that’s important to me (is that) not just Heaven is important — but what about now?” White said. “What about the world now? Do I love people? What am I doing to make this world more of what God wants it to be?” Contact Amy Quesinberry Rhode at aqrhode@orangeobserver.com.

tling meets a theatrical production, a riveting show is about to go down. That’s what retired professional wrestler and playwright Jason Calabrese envisioned when he wrote and helped produce his play, “We Don’t Play Fight,” presented by CONQUER Pro Wrestling. The first showing of “We Don’t Play Fight” was June 4 at the Orlando Shakespeare Theater, and it was a success. Now, the production is coming to the Garden Theatre in downtown Winter Garden for one night Friday, Aug. 19. The story follows a middleaged, blind wrestling promoter who lost his job with the company following the accident that took his vision. After some time, he gets one more shot to earn his job back, with the help of his sidekick who assists him in being his eyes. The promoter gets a one-hour, televised tryout to share his vision with the world, even though he himself can no longer see. Calabrese, a MetroWest resident and New York native, moved in 2009 to Central Florida and had wrestled professionally on national TV for WWE and more. Now 38 and a full-time personal trainer at LA Fitness, he realized wrestling in the minor leagues no

I have progressed faster with the amount of connections and contacts through theater than I have in 15 years of wrestling.” The show is family-friendly, and Calabrese calls it a “crossover of the arts,” as it combines live wrestling in a theater setting. He hopes to both attract theater fans who just want to see a play, and wrestling fans who want to see wrestling. Both parties will be treated to a twist of something different. One of his initial fears from the first show was whether the theater audience could tolerate the live wrestling — and whether the live-wrestling fans could tolerate the theater aspect. But listening to their reaction live — clapping, laughing and cheering — it was just like any other play. From the last show at the Shakespeare Theater, he said fans, wrestlers and the production team could agree on three things: It was different, it was fun and they would love to be part of it and do it again. Not only is the show coming to the Garden Theatre, but also Calabrese is set to meet with staff from the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. “It’s never been done before, and it’s very hard in 2016 to say you’ve never done something before,” Calabrese said.

longer gave him the buzz he once loved. But when he met playwright Rob Winn Anderson, something about the theater business clicked. Winn Anderson encouraged him to look up a play called “The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity,” a play about a professional wrestler. After looking up some clips of the production and watching it from a wrestler’s perspective, though, Calabrese thought the physicality of the play was off — it was an actor playing a wrestler. “The physicality wasn’t believable, so I said, ‘You know, why not write a play on pro wrestling and have it be a little more?’” Calabrese said. “I said, ‘Let’s do something different and unique. We’ll audition actors for the theater parts, and for the wrestling parts, we’ll hire real wrestlers.’” From there, he was introduced to director Jason Skinner, who was able to help merge the theater and wrestling aspects of the play and bring them to life. “I’m a rookie when it comes to plays and theater, but I appreciate the art,” Calabrese said. “I needed someone with the theater brains. My personal dream and desire was not to be a playwright. I didn’t even take a writing or theater class.” As soon as he started writing, though, the buzz he had been missing from wrestling slowly began to return. The passion for wrestling would always be there, and by combining theater and live wrestling, he could still get a taste of the sport to which he had dedicated much of his life. “You’re still doing storytelling, you’re still in the wrestling ring, and you’re getting 10 times more attention doing this,” he said. “You have a buzz, it’s exciting and you’re having fun, and I said to myself, ‘That’s valuable to me.’ It’s not that I’m giving up on wrestling, it’s just that my dreams have changed a little bit.

SIDELINE SCENE

Introducing ObserverPreps.com! As an editor at a newspaper, you will inevitably run into problems. It comes with the job. Sometimes, though, we are lucky enough to run into “good problems” — and I like good problems. One such good problem is the dilemma we have as a team each week when we sit down to discuss what will go in the sports page for a particular edition of the West Orange Times & Observer or the Windermere Observer. The trick is balancing the wealth of high-school sports news and stories that are produced by the eight exceptional

STEVEN RYZEWSKI SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

schools we cover for these two newspapers, along with the other stories that we can tell that fall under the umbrella of sports.

See, although prep sports are a cornerstone of what a sports page in a community paper should be, there are still a wide array of great stories to be told that fall outside of that particular category. Let’s face it — whether it’s world champion water skiers or our area’s vibrant golf scene — there’s a lot of cool sports stuff going on in West and Southwest Orange. Luckily, we’ve identified a solution: Thank you, Internet. Some of our regular readers who also engage with us on the inter-webs via social media already may be familiar with the Observer Preps name as our sports-specific Twitter and

Instagram handles (@ObserverPreps) and the name for our sports-specific Facebook page. Now, though, if you type Observer Preps into your browser — losing the space between the two words and adding a “.com” at the end — you’ll be jettisoned to our newest platform. Our goal: Provide the best, most complete coverage of varsity sports in western Orange County. We say western Orange County because, when we decided to take on this project, we also recognized an opportunity. There are schools located within the SEE WEBSITE PAGE 19A

Oakland resident Luke Rosser, 14, placed first at the USA Triathlon Youth and Junior Nationals July 3. Page 18a

Ocoee High senior Guysen “B.J.” Bohler, a two-way player for the Knights football team, has committed to Mercer University.

Dr. Phillips and Ocoee will face off on the volleyball court to open the regular season Aug. 25. The Panthers will host the Knights, with the varsity game scheduled for 7 p.m.

West Orange alum Dexter Williams, a sophomore running back at Notre Dame, took reps with the first-team offense last week, per ndinsider.com.

Olympia alum Paige Kovalsky, a rising senior on the George Washington University softball team, has completed an intensive, 10-week U.S. Marines officer training program. Visit ObserverPreps.com for the full story.

Eagles, Lions to meet on gridiron Steven Ryzewski

Vernon Mitchell said the West Orange offense will take what opponents give it this fall, making them pay one way or another.

Replacing one of the top offensive coordinators in Central Florida is no small task, but West Orange High O.C. Vernon Mitchell has made himself right at home.

STEVEN RYZEWSKI SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR WINTER GARDEN

ernon Mitchell gets excited when he looks at his depth chart.

Entering his first fall as the of-

fensive coordinator for the West Orange High football team, Mitchell came to the Warriors in time for the spring season after previous stops at Boone High and Freedom High. Vernon Mitchell offers instruction in a timeout huddle during the Warriors’ spring game against Gainesville High in May.

Two crosstown rivals will meet on the gridiron for the first time Friday, when Legacy Charter and Foundation Academy line up for a preseason contest at Walker Field in Winter Garden. For Legacy, the contest against Foundation will be a tough test against a regional finalist in Class 2A last fall. “We know the challenge that we have with Foundation, but it’s exciting to have an opportunity to play a crosstown team,” Wiggers said. The two teams will have different challenges regarding personnel. Legacy is looking to carry roughly 25 players on its roster into the regular season, while Foundation’s final tally will be closer to 50. Other preseason games Aug. 19 include Ocoee hosting Bishop Moore and West Orange hosting Osceola. All contests start at 7 p.m.

Energy efficiency CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Green Energy Shield is a licensed energy adviser based in Winter Garden that conducts energy audits to analyze the source of chronically high energy bills and recommend possible solutions. Because no home is built the same, West emphasizes the need to first evaluate how homeowners can quickly and economically decrease their energy bills before forking over thousands of dollars to invest in solar panels. “Our job as energy advisers is to make homes more efficient before people go solar because solar is a big-ticket item,” West said. “However … if you attack your other issues by caulking your windows, sealing your doors, maybe doing some window tints

CO-OPTING THE COSTS

or updating your attic insulation, it will immediately lower your usage and power bill. Therefore, when you’re ready to go solar, you won’t have to get as big of a solar system.” West said the return on investing in solar-energy systems usually takes seven to 10 years, including the 30% federal tax credit. Less-expensive options West encourages include sprayfoam insulation, solar water heaters, solar pool heaters, radiant barriers, LLumar window films, solar generators, solar attic fans and solar panels. When it comes to solar panels, West recommends not getting a system if homeowners are planning to move within two or three years, unless they plan to increase the value of their home. In other

situations, solar panels are simply not a feasible option due to the structural layout of a home’s roof because it’s facing north. “Sometimes we have homeowners who are intrigued and want to (invest in solar panels), but then we discover they’re either not going to be in their home long term or their home isn’t well-situated for solar panels,” West said. “I mean, we could do solar gardens and put it in the yard, but some homes don’t even have space to do that. “We encourage homeowners to take the time to do their homework and make a well-informed and educated decision, because it’s a big-ticket item,” he said. Contact Gabby Baquero at gbaquero@orangeobserver.com.

However … if you attack your other issues by caulking your windows, sealing your doors, maybe doing some window tints or updating your attic insulation, it will immediately lower your usage and power bill.

To help lower the costs of going solar, Orange County Government, the League of Women Voters of Florida and Florida Solar United Neighborhoods are organizing a second West Orange Solar Co-op starting in August. The idea behind solar co-ops is to get a bulk discount on solar panels. This method can save members of a co-op 10% to 20% off the regular price of solar panels and installation. As an incentive for homeowners to invest in green tech, homes that opt for solar technology are eligible for a 30% federal tax credit for the installation costs. Sign-ups already have begun, and three information sessions have been scheduled in late August. Additional meetings in September will be scheduled as well. INFORMATIONS SESSIONS n 6:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 22 at the Orange County Agricultural Extension Office, 6021 S.

UNDERSTAND THE NUMBERS

Older air-conditioning units tend to pull far more energy than modern units to achieve the same temperature in your home because they are not as efficient. If your A/C unit is more than 10 years old, investing in a new unit likely will translate to a decrease in your power bill.

Learn how to read your power bill and take note of the fees you are being charged. Duke Energy customers in Florida are charged for seven fees, including utility taxes, a fixed customer charge, energy, fuel and the new Asset Securitization charge.

Invest in fans. A/C tends to pull more energy than fans, so to keep cool without touching your thermostat, you should use ceiling or portable fans to supplement your A/C.

Using hot water frequently also can have an impact on your energy bill, so it helps to use low-flow shower heads and reduce the amount of hot water used for washing clothes.

Clean or replace your air filters monthly. Dirty filters make A/C units work harder to cool your home because debris blocks the entryway to your vents. Also, do not block registers and return vents with furniture or drapes.

If you’re willing, research if you qualify for free program options your energy provider might offer. Duke Energy offers an EnergyWise Home program, which allows participants to receive monthly credits for having lower “energy usage during occasional periods when energy demand is really high.”

MORE TIPS

You might not realize it, but keeping your electronics plugged in while not in use does draw energy from the power outlet. To avoid the hassle of having to unplug them each time, you can buy a power strip with a switch.

Cook with copper-bottom pots and pans to ensure effective heat coverage and use tight-fitting covers to trap the heat. Using your stove and oven as infrequently as possible, and opting for a microwave when preparing meals will help lower your energy bills significantly.

WINDOW TECHNOLOGY You can purchase energyefficient window technologies for your home to lower cooling costs. Window sealants are popular because they are cheap and prevent air leakage. Installing white window shades or blinds to reflect heat away from the house or buying specialized curtains that reflect solar heat can also help. However, if curtains aren’t your thing, you can always treat your windows with tinted solar screens, which help stop sun rays from warming your home. INSULATION Make sure your home is properly insulated. Duke Energy recommends R-19 to R-30 insulation for ceilings, R-11 for floors (suspended frame only), R-11 for frame walls and R-5 for concrete block.

A MATTER OF DEGREES During the summer months, Duke Energy recommends setting your thermostat at the highest comfortable setting. You can save 7% to 10% on your cooling costs for each degree above 78.

Keep an eye on your fuel costs. Depending on changes in the market price for fuel, fuel charges per kilowatt are adjusted every year. Currently, Duke Energy charges $.02679 per kWh for the first 1,000 consumed. Any kWh above 1,000 are charged at a rate of $.03679 per kWh.

Do whatever you can to keep your energy usage under 1,000 kilowatts per month. The standard rate Duke Energy charges per kilowatt consumed is $.07006, but it increases to $.08368 for any kilowatts used more than 1,000.
