The gopher tortoises originally were relocated from construction sites and given to the preserve as an educational resource. After the tortoieses reached maturity and tried to escape the enclosure multiple times, the preserve worked with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission on a plan to release them. After wildlife rehab work with the tortoises and approval from the FWC, the enclosure the tortoises resided in for the past four years was disassembled, giving them free range of the preserve.

Friends Mikayla Mansour and Rayna Murillo were glad to start kindergarten at Independence Elementary together.

Boyd Development officials hope to learn from mistakes of other similar town centers.

As students throughout the county began the 2015-16 school year Monday, West Orange celebrated the opening of two new campuses, and West Orange High began its first year as a digital campus. WEST ORANGE — The first day of a new school year is always a unique mix of anticipation, excitement and confusion. For three West Orange-area schools, Monday’s beginning of the 2015-16 school year also included some extra wrenches thrown in for good measure. With a completely new campus, students, teach-

David and Melanie Stimmell, of Oakland, are the recipients of an Angels in Adoption award, given annually through the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute. They were recommended by U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster. The couple has been invited to participate in the awards ceremony in October in Washington, D.C. But with a household of 12, there are no extra funds for a threenight hotel stay and two airline tickets. If anyone in the community is interested in making a donation toward the trip, they can send a check to David and Melanie Stimmell via Mosaic Church, 608 W. Oakland Ave., Oakland, Florida 34760. They have to make their reservations by Sept. 4. Since 2001, the Stimmells have fostered close to 50 children. With four biological children of their own, they are in the process of permanently adopting their sixth foster child. David and Melanie Stimmell have both served on the board of the Quality Parent Initiative, and Melanie Stimmell also volunteers on the Foster Association board with the state.

Candidates for West Orange House seat address latest map Opinions differ on the latest Florida congressional district redraw.

Many friends came out to support Jules Goldberg, center, including Paris Collison, left, Julia Flower, Sophia Crossley and Keira Collins.

JULESTRONG As school resumes this week, one Windermere student is in the fight for her life, and the community has rallied around her in support.

THE DIAGNOSIS

Julianna Goldberg, or Jules, as she is also known, woke up one April morning with a large and painful lump on the side of her neck, Kim Goldberg said. Doctors dismissed it as an infection and prescribed antibiotics, but when the lump remained, the Goldbergs took Jules to a specialist, who ordered an ultrasound and later a fine-needle biopsy. The diagnosis came in July: Stage 3 Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer of the part of the immune system called the lymphatic system. She has tumors in her neck, next to her lung and under her liver. The fourth-grader is in the midst of her second of four rounds of chemotherapy. She must stay in the hospital for three days of treatment every 21 days. She has lost her hair — but certainly not her radiant smile. At last week’s fundraiser, Jules laughed with her friends, who admired the blond wig peeking from beneath a white knit cap, and the popular girl

Goldberg handling their daughter’s diagnosis? “We are doing really well,” she said. “I feel like at first it was a huge shock, and it really just turned our lives upside down. We were super upset about the news, and the hardest part was that week of waiting where we had the port placed in her chest and we had a bunch of biopsies done and the PET scan and the CT scan … and not knowing. “Now we’re handling it the best we can and trying to take care of everyone,” Kim Goldberg said. “We’re very optimistic that everything’s going to be fine. Knowing everything’s going to be OK is just keeping us going.”

THE SUPPORT

Jules Goldberg, 9, spending time outside with her baby sister, Arden, has maintained her sweet smile throughout her cancer fight despite the side effects of chemotherapy. gave everyone a wide smile. She admitted it was “pretty cool” to see so many people show up just for her. Her third-grade teacher attended. A local resident who beat Hodgkin’s lymphoma 20 years ago stopped by to lend encouragement. The wife of Jules’ doctor went, too. Still others were there to pick up the “Julestrong” T-shirt they ordered. The threat of germs kept Jules from embracing guests, but taking selfies wasn’t out of the question. Her mother stood nearby, admiring her beautiful daughter as she enjoyed life, love and friendship. “She’s doing really (well),” Kim Goldberg said. “Her spirits are really high, and her body is handling the chemo really well. During her chemo-

therapy treatments she gets sick, but then she rallies and then snaps out of it and is great afterward. She acts completely normal.”

THE FIGHT

Another scan was done last week, and doctors said it looks promising that Jules could be an early responder to the treatment. If so, she could be done after two more rounds of chemo. Until she’s in remission, Jules can’t attend school, her mother said. She will keep up with her schoolwork through Orange County Public Schools’ hospital homebound program. She also participates as a flyer on the Top Gun All-Stars cheer team — but activities such as this will have to wait until she is better, as well. How are Kim and Avery

“

WINDERMERE — Every table was taken inside and out, and the line snaked out the door and down the sidewalk at a cluster of businesses in The Grove Aug. 20 as members of the community turned out to support a Windermere Elementary fourth-grader with cancer. The fundraiser was held last week at three locations: Burger Fi, Jeremiah’s Italian Ice and Mimi’s Boutique. It was originally set for the evening, but organizers received such an overwhelming response from the community that they expanded it to an all-day event. It brought in more than $5,000. Donations to a youcaring fundraising page also have been pouring in to help Avery and Kim Goldberg pay for medical bills that have steadily been mounting since their daughter, Julianna, 9, was diagnosed with cancer earlier this summer. But perhaps one of the most heartwarming offerings was the $155 accompanied by this message: “Jules, my name is Bella … and I’m 9 years old. Me and my friends Cate and Lia wanted to make your Spirit Night, but we can’t. So instead we went around our neighborhood (Waterford Pointe) and raised money for your care and to help you get better. We have great neighbors. We hope you get better soon and we are praying for you. … Bye for now. Bella, Cate, and Lia.”

All I can say is that we feel so so loved by our special town of Windermere and will never be able to properly thank this community for their generosity and support. — Kim Goldberg

Their friends and neighbors have pitched in, taking them so many homemade meals that Kim Goldberg said she hasn’t had to cook for the family of seven since her daughter’s diagnosis. Jules is the second of five children: Ethan, 12; Tyler, 7; Rory, 4; and Arden, 15 months. In addition to preparing food, friends set up a booth at the Windermere Farmers Market and made $1,200 selling “Jules-pop” ice pops, rosette pens and decorative boxes made by Kim Goldberg and signed by Jules. The Windermere Police Department donated $500. Some moms planned a parents-vs.-kids kickball benefit and silent auction that took place Saturday. Kim Goldberg’s sister set up the youcaring page, Julestrong. com, and she said there has been a great response. The money will be used to pay medical bills, and anything left over will be donated to various organizations associated with pediatric cancer research, such as St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and the Children’s Brain Tumor Project. “All I can say is that we feel so so loved by our special town of Windermere and will never be able to properly thank this community for their generosity and support,” Kim Goldberg said. As for Jules — who is quite the social butterfly, her mother said — she’s just eager to get back to school, her friends and her cheer squad. But until then, she’s keeping a smile on her face and handling her situation with grace. Contact Amy Quesinberry Rhode at aqrhode@wotimes. com.

WEST ORANGE — The latest Florida Legislature redrawing of several of Florida’s 27 districts for the U.S. House of Representatives has affected District 10, which covers almost all of West Orange County. Tallahassee circuit judge Terry Lewis had ruled original congressional maps drawn in 2012 unconstitutional, which has led to appeals and redraws, including one mandated by the state Supreme Court this July. Rep. Daniel Webster (R), who has held the district seat since 2011, believes the latest map is disadvantageous to him as the incumbent. A 2010 amendment declared unconstitutional the favoring of incumbents through redraws, a rule that has since affected the shape of his district, he said. “This will be the fourth district (shape) since I got elected in 2010,” Webster said. One of those four shapes had an appendage deemed favorable to Webster. “The favor was based on three benchmark races: the governor’s race in ’06, the president’s race in ’08 and the governor’s race in 2010,” he said. “Two of the three races — by adding that appendage — favored me by teeny amounts, and then one disfavored me. The judge concluded two of the three is enough. One was by one-tenth of 1%; the other was four-tenths of 1%; and the one that disfavored me was seven-tenths of 1%.” Court proceedings have tied Webster to his district and disfavored him by dividing his district seven ways, he said, likening it to dividing a Florida House seat 30 ways when he testified on the matter. “They took the biggest part of it — which is in Orange County — they coupled it with downtown Orlando, Pine Hills, so forth — totally Democrat, committed Democrat votes and turned my district into a majority minority district,” Webster said. “I think there were 44% non-Hispanic white people who live in that district, and the lower court had said that because my percentage of Republicans had increased by sixtenths of a percent, that was favoring me. In this particular case, the number of Democrats increased by 14%.” Webster cited data from the last two presidential elections covering the latest rendition of District 10, in which Republican nominees got no more than 39% of votes, to further make his case that the new map disfavors him. “If they can’t favor me by one-tenth of 1%, then they certainly can’t un-favor me by 20, 30, 40 points,” he said. “I believe it’s unconstitutional. … It was the court that brought in the partisan data … that said one-tenth of 1% is tantamount to favoring someone. They set the standards. … Based on their definition, it should be exactly the same for disfavoring.” Webster said he would prefer the map to favor and disfavor nobody and be constitutional, including not splitting big cities such as Orlando, which the latest map does.

THE CHALLENGER

Former Orlando Police Department Chief Val Demings (D), who has lived in Dr. Phillips nine years and in the west Orlando area since the early 1990s, recently declared her candidacy for Webster’s seat in the 2016 election. She lost to Webster by about 3.5 points in 2012 and withdrew from the Or-

Rep. Daniel Webster (R-10) believes the latest map of District 10 unconstitutionally disfavors him.

Former Orlando Police Department Chief Val Demings believes Webster faces the same disadvantage she did against him in 2012.

ange County mayoral election in 2014 but said she always had running next year in mind. Demings said President Barack Obama would have gotten 60% of votes in the newest map. She was amazed by Webster’s comments, saying she felt the same in 2012. Webster said his opponent in the prior election — 2010 — had gotten 38% of the vote, the same number he believes he is now limited to. “I felt like I needed to give him my talking points from 2012, because that’s exactly what I had the first time,” Demings said. “We’ll let the Legislature work through the process and see it pass through judicial scrutiny and go from there. We don’t know exactly where lines will end up. If the lines don’t change at all, we expect to contend better. Whatever lines are improved are … out of my control.” Demographics of District 10 are similar to what they had been in 2012 — about 70% white, 11% Hispanic and 10% African American, Demings said. With her 27 years of Orlando Police Department experience, she has worked closely with all communities and people of diverse backgrounds in different areas, she said. “I’m very concerned about their issues,” she said. “I worked hard to reduce violent crime in this area but also address many social issues that plague the area in the first place. It’s OK to stay in your lane, but I think leaders take the opportunity to address all issues they can.” This helps people know who she is and what she stands for, and Demings feels Webster is not the right person to represent District 10, she said. “Old (District) 10 or new (District) 10, I believe Daniel Webster is the wrong representative for District 10, because you have to represent everybody,” Demings said. “You can’t pick and choose who you want to represent.” Contact Zak Kerr at zkerr@wotimes.com.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

SCHOOLS / PAGE 1A

Students of Independence Elementary got to explore their new campus inside and out for the first time at the Meet Your Teacher event last week. They shared their initial thoughts on the school and their teachers.

High School students arrived on campus with laptops instead of textbooks. The initiative has turned the school into an all-digital learning environment.

Ryann Lange, first grade What’s something nice that your teacher said? “She said I was adorable.” Aiden Canela, second grade What do you like about the school? “It’s big!” Meyah Rogers, second grade What did you think about your teacher? “I thought we would be really good friends.” What did you think about the school? “I think it’s really big.” Amanda Dennis, third-grade teacher What do you think about the school so far? “It’s beautiful and it’s coming together so nicely. Everyone’s so excited, and it’s really a positive environment.” Simone Kaufman, second-grade teacher What do you like about the school? “The technology is great. It’s very student-friendly. It helps them get to the root of learning. I’m excited to see the growth and development of the students.” What is your first impression of your students? “They have so much to say, so that’s nice, and I’m excited to get to know them. A very diverse population.”

INDEPENDENCE ELEMENTARY

Not only the kindergartners, but all students and teachers had their first week at Independence Elementary, which is one of West Orange County’s newest elementary schools. Many parents walked their children to school or went to breakfast with them on campus before the first day started. Superintendent Barbara Jenkins visited the school at lunchtime to meet the students and address the community about the school’s opening success. She said 5,000 to 7,000 students have been coming to the Orlando area on an annual basis, which is one reason Independence opened as a relief school for Keene’s Crossing Elementary and Sunset Park Elementary. “The growth in that area is booming,” Principal Angela Osborne said. Because there was not yet an established traffic flow, dismissal on the first day was not as smooth as it could have been. There were reports of some parents shouting and physically pushing others as they tried to pick up their children outside. Members of the PTO asked parents to be respectful of one another and said they would adjust the system to make pick-up less chaotic. There are about 800 students enrolled at Independence this year and a staff of 74 employees, 60 of whom are teachers. Osborne said she expects enrollment to increase in coming years. Osborne has lived and worked in West Orange County for more than 20 years. She was previously the principal of Spring Lake Elementary and Palmetto Elementary. “I’m very blessed to have been chosen by Dr. Jenkins for this honor,” Osborne said. “It’s been a lifelong dream to open up this school.”

Since getting approval not even a year ago for a campus in Lake Olympia Square off East Silver Star Road in Ocoee, the Kids Community College — Orange County Elementary staff has worked long and hard to prepare its new building for classes to start this week. The Ocoee City Commis-

said uncertainty remained as to whether the area was actually the location of a black cemetery. The commission mulled exactly where the memorial should go, with District 3 Commissioner Rusty Johnson saying it should be separate from the veterans memorial already in place there. Commissioners ultimately reached a consensus on a triangular area near the veterans memorial that would allow better oversight and more prominent display. Keller said this was in accordance with the HRDB recommendation, also noting the area would offer more parking. The commission asked for the opinion of HRDB member Bill Maxwell, who said he had inherited an obligation to this matter from former Ocoee Mayor Lester Dabbs. “My opinion as a veteran, as a resident and as a taxpayer is that as we look at this valuable memorial right now from both a monetary point of view and a humanistic point of view, from a historical point of view, we’re not protecting the investment,” Maxwell said. He said the location has allowed easy access for anyone to vandalize or relatively easily tip the memorial because of a lack of a firm base. “(Relocating) it would be the city’s way of saying, ‘We look upon this as a time in our past; we will honor that time in our past; and we will set it aside in a place with those who will come back with remembrances of that day and time that they can go to and look at,’” Maxwell said.

Well, almost. “The school is done, except for our awning that goes around the school … they’re coming about mid-September to put up ours,” Campus Director Andy Westerman said, having accepted his role July 13. “It’s been fast-paced for sure, but luckily, everything has clicked when we needed it to. The building itself didn’t have windows on it when I arrived. Everything has happened within the last six weeks or so.” Faculty, staff and parents have embraced the move with excitement, thrilled to have a new facility, as well as a play field, a basketball court and a playground, Westerman said. He saw community-building even during the move, when parents helped transfer objects from the school’s previous location in Gotha, he said. “The teachers really pulled together; it’s just been a fantastic team,” he said. “The parents — it’s almost on a daily basis: ‘What can I do to help? I’m here to volunteer. What can I do?’ It’s just a real sense of community that I am really impressed by and really enjoy because that’s what I wanted to come back to after 22 years overseas.” This includes the Boo Hoo Breakfast in the cafeteria on the morning of the first day, Aug. 24. Parents helped to organize an assortment of Dunkin’ Donuts, coffee, juice

WEST ORANGE HIGH

The switch to all-digital learning took place without any major problems Monday at West Orange High School. “It went great today with the laptops,” Principal Doug Szcinski said. “We had a lot of teachers use them on day one. Kids are excited because they know that’s their future; they’re excited about coming into the 21st century.” Prior to the beginning of the school year, about 3,400 laptops were handed out to students attending recent digital sessions, Szcinski said. About 600 more will be passed out this week. “When it comes to work, not only do you get to hand in the work on the computer and get the computer skills, but you get the collaboration online. … It’s just a phenomenal feature to have.” Szcinski is pleased his school was selected for the Orange County Public Schools digital program this year. “The kids are getting collegeand career-ready right out of the gate,” he said. “Nationally, I think 5% (of the high schools) are one-to-one, so our kids are ahead of the game there.” Orange County is the 10th largest school district in the country.

The commission unanimously passed an ordinance amendment specifying a maximum of three members of the HRDB being from outside the city and disallowing anyone from outside the city from occupying its final spot. This issue arose in consideration of waving the residency requirement for the reappointment of Barbara Anne Boudokhane to the HRDB, which the commission again delayed until its next meeting. The HRDB received commission approval to waive fees for HRDB allowing International Cultural Exposition use of Lakeshore Center and Bill Breeze Park May 1314.

INTRAM / PAGE 1A said he hoped the opening of the first business on the property would occur within a few months. “We have more businesses than we can handle,” Khatib said. “But the confirmed one’s a Culver’s, which is a fast, casual restaurant, at the end over there, near Maryland (Fried) Chicken. Then we have two restaurants in the middle. I’m not sure which we will choose. And then we have medical facilities in the back.” Khatib said buying a charity building — gesturing in the direction of Edgewood Ranch Thrift Shop — was a possibility, with the idea of turning it into a high-end farmers’ market. He said it would take some more time to determine the best mix of all of the other businesses interested in being a part of the plaza. Bollhoefer offered the Intram and Wawa officials a bit of history and trivia about the Exclusive Inn before they called it a day.

IN OTHER NEWS • The Ocoee Lions Club received fee waivers for its Fourth Annual Texas Hold’em Tournament and Eyeglass Collection Day Oct. 24 at Tom Ison Center. The club encourages attendees to provide used glasses and glasses cases for cleaning and reuse by those who cannot afford them. • The commission approved use of the Ocoee Police Department’s $10,551 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistant Grant to buy four police mobile incident command centers for watch commander vehicles. • The commission passed a measure allowing the police to spend up to $3,000 from its forfeiture account to buy gift cards to give providers of guns in the “Kicks 4 Guns” turn-in program Aug. 20. • The annual rate resolution for the 2016 fiscal year fire protection assessment garnered unanimous commission approval. Identified differences will affect 152 property owners, all of whom received notification by mail, except for two confidential addresses and three undeliverable addresses.

CODE ENFORCEMENT

Interim Mayor John Grogan presented the idea of sunsetting the Code Enforcement Board and having an attorney as a special magistrate. The idea would be to avoid getting minimal return on almost every lien reduction in Ocoee, especially with the city losing money, he said. An example at this meeting was the commission’s unanimous approval of a lien reduction for 1000 Center St., from $152,100 to $2,521, just to cover city expenses. District 2 Commissioner Rosemary Wilsen said the commission would ask for the input of residents, such as those who have lived near noncompliant properties. Contact Zak Kerr at zkerr@ wotimes.com.

It’s about 20 years past its useful life.” Bollhoefer said redoing Dillard Street would be another project for the city to handle soon, including the installation of landscape mediums. “It’s going to be similar to (downtown),” he said. “It won’t be the same — it’ll be transitional downtown — but it’ll look good.

his team had in developing town centers across the country and using the lessons that they learned and being able to implement those at Hamlin,” Meredith said. “Really, it was almost taking a step back and saying, ‘We have an incredible opportunity,’ because we have a town center with a waterfront, something very unique to the Central Florida market. We have an opportunity to do a very dense product around the town center, so there’s an opportunity to make it very walkable.” Lessons from Shook Kelley and like communities around the Orlando area have led to Boyd Development Corporation focusing intently, from master planning to storefront designs and planning streets, Meredith said. “The downfall of town centers around Central Florida like Celebration and Baldwin Park has been on the retail side,” he said. “But what Hamlin has that those don’t is accessibility by roadways from State Road 429.

construction and parking, he said. The southwestern portion will have a 54,000-square-foot Publix on which construction should begin this fall and finish next fall for opening, Meredith said. This space also will have some other frontage on New Independence Parkway, he said. The southeastern part will include a 50,000-square-foot luxury movie theater with 12 screens, due to open next November, Meredith said. Additional retail and restaurant locations will open with each anchor, and more will follow thereafter, he said. “It’ll be developed progressively,” he said. “We’ll come out of the ground with square footage on each of the anchors and then continue developing as more of the anchors come online.” Further announcements, such as groundbreakings, are not yet concrete, but announcements should be ready this fall or winter, Meredith said.

and his partners helped us get comfortable with that idea that you can do an urban town center as long as there’s that accessibility in a suburban setting.” Accessibility includes ensuring drivers can notice buildings and window dressings, part of which could come from pulling storefronts closer to the streets to slow traffic speed, Meredith said. “As you’re designing the storefronts for retailers, not putting columns in front of the storefronts … being sure landscaping is not blocking visibility to the retailers — that’s important,” he said. “A lot is about being conscientious in how we’re planning every square inch of the project.” Meredith said the project timeline has remained unchanged. The anchor of the northwestern area of the project will be a Walmart Supercenter scheduled to open next autumn, with junior centers and other spaces near the New Independence Parkway frontage, he said. Construction there should start in about 45 days, mostly vertical

SPONSORED BY MARK’S FLOORS

STEPHANIE CAMPOS Titans improve on both sides of the ball As a senior libero who has played for the Central Florida Christian Academy Eagles for four years, Stephanie Campos figures to be an important part of the team’s success under first-year coach Stacy Osborne. Individually, Campos celebrated a milestone Aug. 17 when she committed to play her college volleyball for Mount Ida College in Massachusetts.

How long have you been playing for the Eagles, and for whom do you play your club volleyball? I have been playing for CFCA for four years, and I play for Top Select. Have you always played libero, and did you always aspire to play in college? I started out playing volleyball as a hitter, but I was not tall enough once I started playing in high school. I never thought I would be playing college. … I got into club and everything, and that’s what helped me a lot. How much of a factor was the distance from home? Are you excited to get out of Florida? Sort of — my mom isn’t. But I am very excited; I’d really like to be out of Florida, so that’s a good factor for me. I moved from Peru a couple years ago, so I like Florida, but I think it’s because the school; I really liked it. What do you like about the campus? It’s about 45 minutes from Boston, and it is very nice. It’s big, but it’s not huge. It’s a private school, and the professors were very nice. How did you hear about Mount Ida College? I’ve been looking at different colleges outside of Florida. (Head coach Craig Martin) showed up to my national tournament for AAU, and he talked to me and my parents. He was very nice and he told us what he wanted to do with the program. How exciting is it for you to be able to commit to play volleyball in college? I’m very excited — I’m looking forward to starting on a new team with new players, and I’m very excited about the coach (Craig Martin), too. What’s the outlook like for the Eagles this fall? We’ve got a new coach this year, and she has worked with us a lot this summer. We’ve got four new players, and they’re a great addition to the team. Our first game, we actually did very well. I’m excited to see what the other games bring.

What are the team’s strengths? Our defense is very good, so I think that’s something that other teams do not have. Individually, we’re really good players. Is there a game or two on the schedule you’re looking forward to, in particular? I am really looking forward to playing Windermere Prep and International Community School. I actually play with a couple girls from each team. They’re very good players, so I would like to see how we do against big teams. Did you try any other sports, and how old were you when you started volleyball? I tried softball; didn’t really work out for me. I started playing volleyball when I was 9. What was the hardest part of moving from Peru to Florida when you were 12? The language. We had learned some English over there, but it was never like all this speaking that I did here. That was the hardest part. Making friends wasn’t that hard, but trying to communicate with them was hard. What’s your favorite thing about Florida as compared to Peru? The opportunities. I would never get an opportunity like this (playing volleyball in college) over there. How have you enjoyed your time at CFCA? I love it here. We’re a very small school, so we’re very close with our classes. We talk all the time with the underclassmen. It’s been very good, and I could consider all my classmates good friends of mine. What do you want to study in college? Psychology. I want to be a therapist. I have had a lot going on through my life, so I think that I would relate a lot to what’s going on with other people. — Steven Ryzewski

Athlete of the Week sponsored by:

The Olympia Titans knew coming out of the spring that their offense was going to have to improve, and in a 21-14 defeat against Lyman in preseason action, they showed some signs of doing just that. Senior quarterback Khalyn Strickland led a scoring drive that included tossing a long touchdown pass, and backup quarterback and starting wide receiver Joe Milton also led a scoring drive for the Titans. For his part, Strickland — who is working with his third offensive coordinator of his career — said he felt better about where he and the team are heading. “It’s hard for a quarterback to build a relationship with an offensive coordinator and then he leaves,” Strickland said, adding that new head coach Kyle Hayes has instilled a culture centered around simplification and learning to do things correctly. “I want to stay in the pocket longer and not always have happy feet. I’m a better teammate (this fall) and I make better reads.” On the defensive side of the ball, senior outside linebacker Douglas Howard said a combination of work put in during the offseason and some new faces have the Titans’ D figuring to be a formidable unit. “We’re learning; I like (Hayes’) new defensive scheme,” Howard said. “We’re in way better conditioning than we were in the spring. We’ve got some new add-ons — new safeties and corners — so I think we’ll be good.” Olympia opens the regular

season at home against Seminole on Friday.

CFCA enjoying numbers

In addition to losing a coach, the CFCA Eagles lost a few playmakers from last year’s breakout season. Helping to offset those losses for first-year coach John Davis, though, is the increased roster size that the excitement from last season’s run has helped to bring about. Instead of playing in a kickoff classic, the Eagles held an intrasquad scrimmage Aug. 21, and Athletic Director Kyle Wills said CFCA, which lists 31 players on its roster, was able to run 11-on-11 with some players resting — a luxury the program has not previously had. CFCA hits the field for a real game when it hosts crosstown rival Legacy Charter at 7 p.m. Friday.

WEEK ONE PREVIEW All games on Friday, Aug. 28. DR. PHILLIPS AT WEKIVA, 7:30 P.M. THE BUZZ: The Panthers meet the Mustangs for the first time since 2012, when Dr. Phillips cruised to a 28-8 win. EXTRA POINT: The Panthers weren’t quite as efficient as they would have liked to be during their preseason classic against Jones, but they won’t have that luxury against Wekiva. This outof-district contest begins Dr. Phillips’ brutal six-game stretch to begin the fall that ends just in time for the Panthers’ bye week. OCOEE VS. APOPKA, 7:30 P.M. THE BUZZ: How’s this for an early test of how far new coach Ben Bullock’s Knights have come? Last year’s champion in Class 8A will be in the house. EXTRA POINT: In just one half of play against a talented Bishop Moore team, Ocoee surprisingly held its own and almost tied the contest before it was called at the half. The Knights hurt themselves, though, with unnecessary penalties — something they simply cannot do if they hope to have a shot against the Blue Darters. OLYMPIA VS. SEMINOLE, 7:30 P.M. THE BUZZ: First meeting between these two programs doubles as first game of the Kyle Hayes era at Olympia. EXTRA POINT: Facing off against another opponent from Seminole County in its kickoff classic last week, Olympia looked formidable and moved the ball on offense — something it did

not do well in the spring. If the Titans’ offense can sustain drives, Olympia should have a good chance against the Seminoles, who averaged just 18.3 points per contest last fall. WINDERMERE PREP VS. ST. STEPHEN’S EPISCOPAL, 4 P.M. THE BUZZ: The Lakers will have the biggest target on their backs of anyone in the Sunshine State Athletic Conference this fall after dominating the league in 2014. EXTRA POINT: Judging from Windermere Prep’s performance in the preseason jamboree at Lake Highland Prep last week, the Lakers still can score pretty well but will have to be a little more methodical and sustain longer drives than it did in 2014 when many of the scoring drives were two and three plays long. FOUNDATION ACADEMY AT WEST ORANGE, 7:30 P.M. THE BUZZ: The first “Battle of Winter Garden” is also the Warriors’ first game on their newly replaced turf playing surface. EXTRA POINT: Can Foundation keep this close? Brad Lord’s program figures to be a contender in Class 2A and has some impressive skill players to its credit, but the sizable differences in roster depth, size and athleticism between the two neighboring programs suggests it would be an accomplishment if this one was still close at halftime. For West Orange, how will the offensive line look after losing standout Terrell Tolbert for the season?

And, for CFCA, how much will the increased depth that team’s growing popularity has created make a difference?

BATTLE / PAGE 1B last year’s runner-up in Class 7A, Osceola (now competing in Class 8A), in their Aug. 21 kickoff classic. West Orange ended up battling the Kowboys to a draw in the most high-profile preseason contest of the night, with the veteran coach taking away some positives and negatives from the evening. “I didn’t like some of the things that we did, letting them sustain drives, and we

had two three-and-outs and that bothered me,” Head said. “I think we got a lot out of it.” Foundation whooped Landmark Christian, 42-0, in a game that lasted just a quarter before lightning and rain prompted the officials to call the contest. Where Landmark had been a formidable program in years past, Lord expressed some disappointment his team didn’t get as much of a test in the preseason as he would have liked and that the shortened game did not allow him to get his underclassmen valuable field time. Nevertheless, Lord — who coached for Head while Head was at Olympia — and his program are excited for the challenge of taking on one of Class 8A’s elite programs. “It’s great that you have two schools in Winter Garden that — and I don’t want to jinx us — but I think we both have shots at bringing a state championship home to Winter Garden,” Lord said. “I really do.” Contact Steven Ryzewski at sryzewski@wotimes.com.

Crews were out putting the finishing touches on the new playing turf surface at West Orange High last weekend.

Malgoza Group Real Estate I’m an MBA and a Real Estate Broker. More than 25 years experience in Residential and Commercial Real Estate in Central Florida.

Our hot and humid Florida climate and seasonal storms can be tough on a roof. When the time comes to replace your roof, be careful not to hire someone solely based on price. Cheap materials and a cheaply done roofing job will actually cost you more in the long run. When it comes to roofs, paying a little more for a properly installed, better quality and longer lasting roof is a smart investment. Here locally, one of the finest state certified roofing companies you can call is West Orange Roofing (phone 407-6568920). Celebrating their 37th year, owner Bobby Swindle and his staff have an excellent reputation in the community, and West Orange Roofing is considered one of the best full service roofing firms in Central Florida. If you spot a roof leak, call Bobby for a free inspection. He can provide you with sound advice on the right course of action to take with your roof. More importantly, West Orange will repair your roof quickly and properly. No matter what kind of roof you have, the professionals at West Orange Roofing can repair and redo it. They specialize in leak repairs and re-roofing projects and do both residential homes and commer-

There was once a time when homeowners felt safe because they had an alarm system in their home. Today, a better deterrent to break-ins and home invasions is having a surveillance system watching and protecting your property. Most thieves and rapists will bypass a home with cameras recording what’s going on. The good news is high-def surveillance systems have not only gotten better, the digital components have come down in price to the point where most homeowners can afford to purchase them. And today, you can monitor your home and property from anywhere right on your smart phone. Locally, getting a camera surveillance system installed is easy. Winter Garden is home to one of the largest and best surveillance stores in the state – Surveillance Plus. Opened in 2002, Surveillance Plus was established by Veronica Royce along with Stephen Froelicher. Together they created a 5,000 square foot showroom where you can walk in, see, touch and learn about the newest and best surveillance technology.
