We remember Winter Garden resident Jimmy Brown was one of the initial first responders to report to the World Trade Center’s North Tower after an airplane piloted by terrorist hijackers slammed into the 110-story office building in Lower Manhattan.

AMY QUESINBERRY RHODE COMMUNITY EDITOR

WINTER GARDEN

ifteen years later, Jimmy Brown still gets glassyeyed when talking about certain memories as a New York City firefighter on Sept. 11, 2001. Brown was a “probie” with the New York Fire Department, still seven weeks away from academy graduation, on that day. He was pulling a 24-hour shift, night followed by day, at Station 10 (Engine 10/Ladder 10), located near the base of the World Trade Center’s South Tower in Lower Manhattan. He was fielding incoming calls. It was just before 9 a.m., shift change, so there were more firefighters than normal at the fire station, known as Tenhouse, when they heard an airplane flying low and straight for the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Brown said he could hear the plane speed up just before it struck the 110-story office building between the 93rd and 96th floors. He saw the fireball and smoke and felt the intense heat from the ground. Firefighters, even those going off-duty, scurried to put on their bunker gear and respond. The ride on the truck and engine was tight that day. “Nobody wants to miss a fire,” Brown said. “Nobody wants to miss the big one.” He said it was difficult to get the rescue vehicles out because civilians were running inside the firehouse to escape the falling concrete, ash and other debris. Brown was on the engine and still can recall the feeling of driving over bodies as the firstresponders made their way to the fire. “We were there before anyone else was there,” he said. FROM INSIDE THE WTC

It’s still difficult for him to talk about what he encountered when he entered the North Tower lobby. A firefighter’s first instinct is to help people, and he had to ignore a victim in desperate need of medical attention. Brown wrote down his memories in the days after 9/11. “(Two) victims inside the foyer were burned over most of their bodies,” he wrote. “The female was still very much alive, as I could hear her gasping for air and gurgling. … In order to get into the lobby area, we had to step over the female victim … and as I did, I felt sick to my stomach. “All I could think about was trying to resist the natural urge to stop and at least to try to give this woman some measure of comfort,” he said. “I had to keep reminding myself that I didn’t have any EMS equipment with me, and my job was to hump the hose that I had so I could put the fire out. “Despite all the reminding that I

disoriented Brown might have been hit on the head and grabbed a nearby nurse, who immediately put him in an ambulance bound for Cornell Hospital on the Upper Eastside. It was there that he was reunited with his wife, Shirley, after calling her from the hospital. “After lying in a curtained area of the ER for an eternity, listening to loved ones trying to locate their husbands, wives and children, I heard Shirley’s voice,” Brown wrote. “I called out to her. … She ran back and threw her arms around me with what felt like a death grip. I simply broke down because I couldn’t hold it in anymore and broke down in her arms.” NO RESPITE

Jimmy Brown was still in his probationary period with the FDNY when terrorists attacked the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001.

“After lying in a curtained area of the ER for an eternity, listening to loved ones trying to locate their husbands, wives and children, I heard Shirley’s voice. I called out to her. … She ran back and threw her arms around me with what felt like a death grip. I simply broke down because I couldn’t hold it in anymore and broke down in her arms.” — Jimmy Brown

did to myself, stepping over that woman was one of the most difficult and disturbing things that I had ever done in my lifetime.” He remembers the lobby suddenly full of thousands of employees — many of them injured — making their way out of the burning building and the sight of people jumping out of the high windows. “You either burn to death or jump to your death,” he said. One by one, the firefighters started the stairwell ascent, assigned with getting water up to the 93rd floor, but Brown and the random crew he was with turned around at the 23rd floor. They finally reached the lobby, and as he and other firstresponders and victims ran out of

the building and toward 6 World Trade Center, they looked up, careful to dodge the debris and bodies coming down. He was standing under the overhang of 6WTC, directing people away from the disaster area, when he heard a deafening rumble and felt a gust of wind. Instinct told him to turn toward the building and kneel down. The North Tower was collapsing, and debris was starting to bury him. He remembers the powdery concrete dust burning his lungs. At some point, Brown started walking, dazed, his mind trying to comprehend the devastation. A probie classmate saw him without his helmet, assumed the

In the days following the terrorist attacks, first-responders were tasked with marking dead bodies with GPS trackers. “There was no respite from it,” Brown said. “Twenty-four on, 24 off. You were living it, smelling it, tasting it. Even if you went to rest inside the firehouse, you couldn’t because of the alarms and the cranes and the sounds outside.” Tenhouse lost two firefighters from Engine 10 and three from Ladder 10. Six men from Brown’s probationary class who were at other stations also died. When his academy graduation was held several months later, six empty seats were draped with purple bunting to remember the lost. The stress of the horrific experience was leading Brown down a road of personal destruction, so he transferred out of Tenhouse and to Engine 201 near his home. In 2007, he and his wife moved to Winter Garden. Today, Brown works in the evidence department of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and has spoken to churches and other groups about 9/11 and his newfound faith. He is co-founder and vice president of Wounded Officers Initiative. Brown accompanied three men to New York City in 2011 to retrieve a four-foot section of a steel beam that was once part of the World Trade Center. In 2015, the city of Winter Garden dedicated a monument featuring the beam in a small park near the Winter Garden Fire Department Administration building on East Cypress Street.

Stoneybrook West all suffered damage. Residents reported tornadoes in those communities. Hamlin resident Matt Beach heard the tornado before he realized what was happening. Beach said he’s lived in Florida almost his whole life, so he’s experienced quite a few hurricanes, but this was the first time he lived through a tornado. Beach, his wife and two daughters rushed to the storage closet under their stairs until it passed. His kids were terrified, and his wife was concerned. “It was just before 9 p.m.,” Beach said. “My wife and I were upstairs in our house, and we heard what could only be described as a freight train bearing down on the house. … It must have come right over the house because it uprooted some trees right here.” He estimates the tornado only took two to three minutes to pass. He didn’t even see the tornado alert until after the tornado passed because his phone was charging. “It all happened so fast,” Beach said. “I didn’t actually realize it was an actual tornado. I thought maybe it was hail or a really strong rain band from the hurricane. It didn’t cross my mind at all.” Beach’s own house did not sustain any serious damage. However, most of the houses in his neighborhood, The Cove at Hamlin, are missing roof tiles and shingles. Some homes had broken windows, and at least one home had solar panels ripped off the roof, he said. He is grateful his family is safe and there wasn’t too much damage. “As far as tornadoes go, this one feels like the best-case scenario,” Beach said. Crews from Orange County already were working on removing downed trees this morning near The Cove at Hamlin. In Keene’s Pointe, residents say a tornado likely started near the 18th hole of the golf course, snapping trees along the golf course and downing large oaks trees on Greatwater Drive. The tornado continued to the 17th hole where it also caused damage to the nearby Valhalla Way. “Greatwater looks like a war zone,” said Meg Sweeney, a Keene’s Pointe resident who was spared

from the worst of the damage. A trampoline flew 25 feet across a backyard. Oak trees barricaded the road and lay in piles on the golf course. A few roofs received minor damage. Keene’s Pointe residents took part on a group text, informing each other of what was happening as they hid in bathrooms and closets and underneath staircases. Julie Lenoci, who lives on Greatwater Drive, said her entire family received alerts of a tornado warning at about 8:36 p.m. She turned on the television and saw that the meteorologists were talking about her neighborhood. “You think the hurricane is so far away that it’s not going to happen to you,” she said. As a Midwest native, Lenoci didn’t feel much panic over the storm. She didn’t hear much wind from the storm as she was used to. But her concern rose when she opened the back door, heard whistling noises and saw her gray patio chair hovering above the ground. But then it was over. The tornado had passed by the front of the house, and Lenoci was in the back. Neighbors began calling. The large oak tree in her front yard had fallen across the street, as well as other oak trees in neighbor’s yards. But by 10 the next morning, crews already had cleared the tree from the street. Susan Green, who lives on Greatwater Drive near the 17th hole, was home alone when she got the warning. She put her cat and puppy in an interior room of the house and continued with her evening. The Disney fireworks went off at 9 p.m., as usual. Things changed quickly. The rain came down — hard.

Jennifer Nesslar

Green heard debris hitting her windows. Then she heard a rumble that sounded like thunder, but it didn’t let up and grew louder. She retreated to the safe room with her pets. Within moments, it was over. She found patio chairs and umbrellas in the bushes, while other furniture was in the pool. Trees in her backyard, which lines the golf course, had fallen. Her pine trees were completely stripped. “It was so quick,” Green said. “I was shocked to see the amount of damage that took place, how quickly and ferocious it was based on the timeline.” Resident Mark Lepow also reported damage to his community, Stoneybrook West, via Facebook. “We had way more than just trees down — as in several large pool enclosures demolished, a car under a fallen tree and open roof damage, among other issues,” he said. “Almost certain from how the damage looked and twisted that is was rotational and not straight line winds.” Officials from Winter Garden Little League also have reported damage — including a downed tree and damage to a dugout roof — at the league fields. The band passed over the town of Windermere, but Mayor Gary Bruhn said the area was spared from significant damage. “We were very fortunate,” he said. “We got about four inches of rain in 17 minutes. Fortunately, no reports of downed trees, but sometimes, it takes days. The force was west of us.”

Keene’s Pointe resident awoke to damage in their community, as well.

After a flood struck southern parts of Louisiana in early August, some schools in Ocoee organized a supply drive to help Ascension Parish. GABBY BAQUERO

STAFF WRITER

After what American Red Cross reported as the worst natural disaster to strike the U.S. since Hurricane Sandy, schools in Ocoee are doing what they can to help schools that suffered losses in the Aug. 12 Louisiana flood. Three reading coaches from Ocoee Elementary, Middle and High schools — Cheryl Garner, Barbara Wright and McKinsie Rutherford — teamed up to organize a donation drive from Sept. 6 to 30. They hope the drive will produce a number of boxes they can ship to schools in need. It started with an email Garner sent Rutherford. Garner told Rutherford about her friend in Louisiana, who said her school had to throw away many school materials and desks because of severe water damage. After a brainstorming session between the three reading coaches, they decided to help some of the schools in Ascension Parish by having each school organize its own supply drive. The idea is that each school will have gradeappropriate boxes they can send to specific classrooms. “They don’t even have books to read at this point, so we were kind of talking about that and just thinking what can we do because

St. Amant Middle School had to discard supplies because of water damage.

we have a lot of books lying around that are gently used, so we could kind of send those up their way,” Rutherford said. Rutherford, who is in charge of Ocoee Middle’s supply drive, hopes she’ll be able to send 100 boxes to St. Amant Middle school. “I really hope that this helps them get their instruction started and helps the students be successful this year,” she said. “It has to be difficult for those teachers and students to have to go back to school so early after a lot of them have lost everything.” Pictures of the flood-ravaged schools display big piles of desks, books, wood and other structures that the school is forced to discard. The school session began the week after the flood hit, leaving many students whose homes were damaged by the flood to

attend school without supplies. “I can’t imagine how it would feel to have nothing to bring to school on your first day of school,” Rutherford said. “I don’t want the kids to feel that. I want them to have their materials so that they can learn instead of worrying about ‘Where am I going to find a pencil’ or ‘Where am I going to find a spiral notebook.’” Anyone who chooses to donate also can sponsor an art, physical education or music class and send appropriate items for that classroom. Donations can be dropped off at Ocoee Elementary, 400 S. Lakewood Ave.; Ocoee Middle, 300 S. Bluford Ave.; or Ocoee High, 1925 Ocoee Crown Point Parkway.

OCOEE INSTALLS FIRST CHARGING STATION The city of Ocoee utilities department has been hard at work with ventures to reduce its carbon footprint. Its latest effort includes the installation of its first public electric-vehicle charging station at Ocoee City Hall. The dual port charging station cost the city around $8,000, but if all goes well and the charging station sees frequent use, the city will consider adding more. Other green initiatives the city has pursued includes the approval of a project to replace old traditional water meters with more advanced smart meters to improve efficiency and water conservation. It also has purchased an electric vehicle and electric golf carts and is in the preliminary stages of a project to add solar farms to help provide power for utility services, said Laureen Cooper, a customer support coordinator for Ocoee’s utilities department.

Following FSA ruling, OCPS files appeal Orange County Public Schools officials say the case should have been tried in their home circuit court. THE LAWSUIT

GABBY BAQUERO STAFF WRITER

Three days after a judge ruled state education leaders acted unlawfully when they refused to promote to the fourth grade 14 students who refused to answer questions on the Florida Standards Assessment, Orange County Public Schools has appealed that decision. OCPS’ appeal argues that the case should not have been tried in Tallahassee but rather in its home circuit court. OCPS is one of six districts involved in the suit; state education leaders and the Hernando County School District also have filed appeals. Although OCPS and Florida Department of Education officials declined to comment because the case is pending litigation, representatives of the Opt Out Orlando — a parent-led organization that opposes state-mandated testing — said they expected the appeal. “(It’s) disappointing but not surprising,” said Sandy Stenoff, one of the three co-founders of Opt Out Orlando. Stenoff believes the FSA test, which plays a role in teacher and school evaluations, forces teachers to adopt narrow class curricula that focus too heavily on test preparation — a situation that she and other parents involved in the movement say detracts from students’ learning.

Florida Circuit Court Judge Karen Gievers’ Aug. 26 ruling stems from a lawsuit involving 14 third-grade students in six different Florida school districts. The suit challenged parts of Florida’s third-grade retention law, which districts interpreted as grounds not to promote the students who did not take the FSA third-grade language arts exam. During the FSA test, the 14 students broke the seal on their exams, signed their names but did not answer any questions. Attorneys representing the students said these actions satisfied the obligatory participation in FSA tests. Given the lack of a detailed definition of “participation” in Florida statutes, the parents requested their children be given zeroes for the test and granted the option of a teacher-compiled portfolio assessment, (a collection of a student’s work throughout the school year that demonstrates reading proficiency), as proof that their third-grade children were ready for fourth grade. However, the school districts, with support from the FLDOE, refused to give the students an FSA score and did not budge on their decision. Giever’s 52-page ruling on the injunctive relief resulted in a partial victory for the Opt-Out Movement. The ruling ultimately

ordered the FLDOE to stop “disseminating misinformation that there is no portfolio option available when children do not score level 2” on the test. Additionally, it ordered Pam Stewart, the Florida Commissioner of Education, as well as the State Board of Education to tell county school boards they must offer students who “minimally participate” in the FSA test the portfolio option. Gievers acknowledged that minimal participation does satisfy the students’ statutory obligation to participate. ONE TEACHER’S PERSPECTIVE

Karen Castor Dentel, who holds a doctoral degree in education, was a teacher for 25 years and is a former member of the Florida House of Representatives. She is upset by the county school boards’ refusal to accept the judge’s ruling, especially because their prior excuses cited bureaucratic procedures. “The school boards have said their hands are tied for so long,” Castor Dentel said. “(They’ve been) saying they can’t do anything because it’s just the law. Well, here they have their answer, and they can take this result, this

judgment, and run with it. … They can make these decisions — their hands are not tied, and if they are using the appeal on a technicality, it’s really disheartening. It’s like, what else? What else do we have to do to make them fight for our kids?” Castor Dentel started teaching before the first state-mandated Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test was implemented in 1998. Both she and Stenoff say the FSA is used more as a weapon to punish kids, as opposed to a diagnostic tool that can help improve teaching methods. Castor Dentel believes the stressinducing tests are also unfair to students because every year the tests change and what counts as a passing score is an ever-moving target determined by the FLDOE. “It was such a pleasure to teach then, and kids enjoyed coming to school,” Castor Dentel said of the time before mandated testing. “The classrooms were not micromanaged like they are now. … Now, every year the tests become more important to the folks in Tallahassee, and it’s become more of a weapon. It wasn’t a diagnostic tool, they weren’t really using

it to see what kids know because teachers don’t even get the scores back.” Castor Dentel misses teaching, she said, but with academic instruction being so focused on test preparation, she finds it wiser to steer clear of the classroom. She also disapproves of the third-grade retention policy the plaintiff parents have been fighting against, suspecting it to be a tactic used by the FLDOE to benefit their own self-interests. “Kids develop at different rates and there’s nothing magical about third grade,” Castor Dentel said. “Mandatory retention has been used as a method to raise the fourth-grade MAP score, (the average score of students in a particular grade), because they can artificially raise those scores if you hold kids back from fourth grade who didn’t score as well. And it makes the fourth grade national test look a lot better. So it’s a game, it’s using our kids as political pawns, and I hope that this lawsuit exposes that.” Contact Gabby Baquero at gbaquero@orangeobserver.com.

Relief high school stadium delayed The first athletes to play for the West Orange relief high school will do so without a home field. JENNIFER NESSLAR STAFF WRITER HORIZON WEST Parents of the future students of the West Orange relief high school were dismayed to learn the school’s stadium is not scheduled to be completed until Jan. 5, 2018 — more than four months after the school opens its doors in August 2017. The stadium will be located in Jonathan Scott Pine Park, a piece of property owned by Orange County, which is about one mile south of the school on Ficquette Road. Building the stadium off-site was part of an agreement between Orange County School Board and Orange County following lawsuits over the site of the relief high school. The School Board and the county agreed to equally split the stadium’s $7 million cost, according to District 1 County Commissioner Scott Boyd. When parents learned last week the stadium would open more than four months after the school did, they immediately called for an emergency meeting. “We need to be more proactive than reactive,” said Jane Dunkelberger, a parent involved in Horizon West schools, following the meeting. “I can’t speak for everyone, but can we escalate construction time so we don’t have a delay?”

At the meeting, District 4 School Board member Pam Gould emphasized how the school had been accelerated by 2017 to accommodate families. “Our first priority is getting that building up and making it a great educational experience,” she said. “That is priority No. 1 for Orange County Public Schools.” The timelines for the school have accelerated based on the need for the school. “The original agreement between OCPS and the county was to have the stadium open by the August timeframe of 2018,” Boyd said. “That was the agreement. OCPS wanted to advance the school to 2017, which obviously puts a crunch of a year off of the original two years. So now we’re doing it within a year.” Originally, the field was not intended to open until after the first two games of the school year, Gould said. “I think the hold-up is, it’s basically down to staff discussion along the cost of the field, the responsibility of the 50-50 split of any overages, and where there’s overages,” Boyd said. “For the site plan itself, were there any wetland litigation issues, we’d be paying for that. … I think it’s down to a somewhat minimal cost, and I think it needs to be pushed. That’s why I want to have this come back to my board.” Boyd agreed to try to bring the

ALTERNATIVES Alternatives have yet to be determined, but here are some options OCPS and the County are proposing if the field cannot open during the first football season:

issue back of the County Commission for the Sept. 13 meeting, to discuss the timeline and whether turf or grass should be used at the stadium. Several parents at the meeting wanted to know if it would be possible to bring the stadium back on the relief high school’s campus. Others expressed concern for the safety of the stadium in the event of a quick-moving thunderstorm. The stadium will have about 204 parking spaces, with other fields on the property becoming available for use as overflow parking. Parents are concerned that this is not enough in case the venue needs to be evacuated in a thunderstorm.

“We need to think more about the what-ifs,” Dunkelberger said. Boyd said property around the stadium could be purchased for additional parking near the stadium if there was a need. “I really hope that they work it out for the sake of the children in our community and find a way to have home games and the home-team experience,” said Judy Paulsen, a parent who will have a freshman attending the relief high school when it opens. “My focus is on the children. They’ve been slighted enough; please don’t slight them again.” Contact Jennifer Nesslar at jnesslar@orangeobserver.com.

n Have all away games until the stadium is completed. This is an alternative the district is trying to avoid. n Hold home games on-campus temporarily. The relief high school has several practice fields on campus, such as a track and football field, but sporting events cannot happen after dark because of no lighting on the field. n Host home games at other schools. Neighboring schools, such as West Orange High School, could host the school’s home games if there was a need.

Winter Garden diaper Full-spectrum training bank in need of supplies AMY QUESINBERRY RHODE COMMUNITY EDITOR WINTER GARDEN Juliette Brown knows the value of Second Chance Resource Center, as she has been the recipient of diapers in the past. Before her 2-year-old daughter was potty-trained, Brown was in constant need of diapers. Her husband was between jobs, the family budget was tight, and diapers were an expensive purchase. She read about the center in the city of Winter Garden’s monthly newsletter and reached out to Sharon Lyles, president of the nonprofit organization. Lyles provided the necessities to the struggling family. The Winter Garden agency has needs of its own, too — Lyles never can keep enough diapers, wipes, formula or food stocked on her shelves. The city is hosting a Diaper Drive through September, and everything collected will go to Second Chance to be distributed to Central Florida families. Lyles started Second Chance in 1997 as a mentoring program for teenage mothers and provided diapers and clothing for the babies. But she was fulfilling a basic need for single mothers about 19 years ago, when she learned that baby formula was available through government subsidy programs but not diapers. The thought of babies sitting in

Officers with the Ocoee Police Department recently completed a two-day course to help them assist people with autism. GABBY BAQUERO STAFF WRITER

Given the possibility of dealing with delicate situations involving juveniles with autism, Ocoee police officers held a twoday training course in August to learn about autism. Autism is a general term for a number of disorders characterized by difficulty with communication and social interaction, as well as obsessive interests and repetitive behaviors. According to a 2016 survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in 68 American children is identified with autism every year. These numbers, along with the highly publicized incident that occurred in Miami in mid-July in which police shot a caregiver of an autistic adult, makes OPD’s increased focus on preparing officers to handle such situations even more important. The course was the idea of Stephanie Cooper, an Ocoee resident and former deputy sheriff of the New Orleans Police Department. The course taught officers how to identify individuals with autism, how to speak to them and where they might go if they are missing. The department also is build-

wet and soiled diapers bothered Lyles. A lack of clean diapers also meant mothers couldn’t leave their children in daycare. She said awareness is key to the success of her organization. To help the community understand her mission, she is holding an open house at Second Chance Resource Center from 9 to 11 a.m. Fridays, Sept. 9, 16, 23 and 30. Her agency also was among 15 selected for inclusion on Central Florida’s Lynx buses, and their logos will be featured on the public transportation for one year.

ing a database that lists individuals with autism in the Ocoee area. “The database will help us out a lot going forward,” said officer Scott Jacoby. “It will show us what the person looks like, where they headed last time if they did get lost or other encounters with the police. … We can identify if (they have autism) — that’s the most important thing — where they are in the spectrum and what will calm them down.” Cooper’s 8-year-old son was diagnosed with autism at 2, which she said gives her unique insight into how valuable such education is for police officers. “As a mother with a child who has autism, my biggest fear is my child wandering away and not knowing how to ask for help,” Cooper said. “My goal is to make sure all law-enforcement agencies have up-to-date training

on autism. … One in 68 children will be diagnosed this year, so the chances of (them) encountering the police and the police having the tools to handle the situation is vital.” Cooper is currently in the process of creating her own nonprofit, ALERT Autism, which will provide training for law-enforcement agencies. With the help of her son, she also is constructing 100 autism kits for Ocoee police officers to keep in their cars. The kits will carry items such as chew sticks and squish pads that could help officers calm juveniles. To accomplish this, Cooper has been purchasing the items herself — at a cost of about $25 per kit. She will be delivering the kits to OPD Friday, Sept. 9.

Sounding the Drumm At 82 years old, Horizon West resident Ronnie Drumm, a lifelong musician, has no plans of quitting. JENNIFER NESSLAR STAFF WRITER

RAVE OF THE WEEK

SEAN O’NEILL Rave: People who come together to make things happen and help others. Thank you to Lisa Jero and her site, Economy of Love-Orlando. I also might not have heard about it if it wasn’t for Nikki Fosnaugh. In my line of work as a locksmith, I get to do a ton of foreclosed houses. Most of these houses are nasty, but every now and then a nice one comes available. This weekend, a property manager I know had an apartment come available for him to take possession. The house was an old rental property and came fully clean and furnished. He asked me if I knew of anyone who could use any of it. I thought about Lisa and her site, reached out, and within about an hour, we found a family in need. The next day, I met the family in this gated community and showed them the apartment. (Through) teamwork … we made it happen for this family. Thank you, Lisa.

Ronnie Drumm has played with performers like Bob Hope, Wayne Newton, Jackie Gleason, Jack Benny and Lorne Greene.

A career in music BOOK A LEGEND

episode of “The Simpsons” and started a youth band that toured Japan. But for Drumm, now 82 and a resident of Horizon West, nothing compares to playing for residents of nursing homes and assistedliving facilities. “Emotionally for me, I get more satisfaction playing for these people,” he said. “I can go in a room, and no matter where they are, once you start this music, on some level, it consumes these people. They’ll be sitting there and tapping their foot, and then they’ll start mouthing the words to some of the old songs. That is when you know, as far as I’m concerned, that you’re really doing something good for those people.” Last October, the love of his life, Beverly, spent her last days in a nursing home. Drumm spent every day by her side, and while he was there, he performed a concert for the residents. After his wife died, Drumm moved to Horizon West to be close to his son, who works for Disney.

Ronnie Drumm and his Orchestra was a big band orchestra that Drumm led for several years. Right: Ronnie Drumm with Bob Hope.

A LIFE OF MUSIC

Drumm first played trumpet when he was a 6-year-old growing up in Massachusetts. By the time he was 13, he was playing at gigs each new year. He was a busy 16-year-old, traveling to New York to audition for the “Ted Mack Amateur Hour,” graduating from high school and attending the New England Conservatory of Music. Following music school, he played in bands for a while until he started his own big band — conducting musicians such as

Bob Hope, Wayne Newton, Jackie Gleason, Jack Benny and Lorne Greene. During the 1970s, he was featured on TV specials — Miss World USA and a Ringling Brothers TV special. Drumm stuck with the field through adversity. After practicing hard for the Miss World USA special, the show ran into trouble. The day of the show, protestors showed up to picket the arena. One of the performers with whom Drumm was working was unable to cross the picket line. The performers were forced to scramble and fill in all the gaps. “But it was very interesting,” Drumm said. “In fact, I’ve been thinking lately, I wonder if I contacted ABC, if I could get a tape of that show.” In 1975, Drumm joined the circus — becoming the musical conductor for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Although he was passionate about the music he performed, it wasn’t any easy job. The circus traveled often and was more dangerous than people realized, with Drumm often making difficult decisions. He saw two people die after falling from their mechanic safety devices — one during a live performance in Fresno, California. To divert the children’s attention from the injured woman, Drumm called for the next entertainment and music. The local newspaper criticized him for being “coldhearted,” but Drumm called them to say he had done it to protect the kids.

A LOVE FOR EDUCATING

Throughout Drumm’s life, he has always enjoyed educating people, and he got to take some of his students around the world. In the 1970s, he started a youth band of 55 children that was invited to tour Japan for three weeks. There, they played for the major television shows in Japan and recorded an album. Although those days have passed, Drumm still keeps in touch with his students, many of whom now have grandchildren of their own. One of his students, who now lives in California, still calls every week for a trumpet lesson over the phone. “I’m very sincere about what I do,” Drumm said. “I’m very diligent. I’ve been very fortunate to have played music all my life and to have helped so many kids and hear from them all the time like I do through the internet now; it’s so fulfilling.” Contact Jennifer Nesslar at jnesslar@orangeobserver.com

Drumm hopes to gain more opportunities to perform at West Orange-area nursing homes and other related venues. His show is well rounded, consisting of singing and trumpet, featuring pieces from Elvis, Sinatra, classic music and the country genre. To inquire call Drumm at (941) 914-1943.

All things Winter Garden COMMUNITY EDITOR

A new booth debuted at the Winter Garden Farmers Market on a recent Saturday, and it proved to be a popular one, as market-goers were curious about the variety of Winter Garden products assembled on the table. Andy Crabtree, Will Blaine and Matthew Peacock are the business partners and product designers at A.B. Newton and Co., which sells all things Winter Garden: five T-shirt designs, two handmade wood signs, mugs, stone coasters, wine bottle holders and “I heart WG” stickers with an orange slice in place of the heart. Crabtree and Blaine, Winter Garden natives, actually started the company two years ago with a few T-shirt designs but didn’t aggressively push their merchandise. They are ready to do it now and have brought aboard Peacock, a transplant from the Philadelphia area who lives in Clermont and is the owner and creative director of the interactive agency Anonymous Creative, located in down-

WINTER GARDEN

town Winter Garden. “We wanted this opportunity to reintroduce the A.B. Newton name and what it means to the history of Winter Garden,” Crabtree said. “A.B. Newton is considered the ‘Grandfather of Winter Garden.’ He was the first mayor, newspaper publisher, postmaster as well as owner of a general store. Now that we have one of the most popular farmers markets in the nation, we felt it was the perfect time to have more interaction with customers and sell our products first-hand.” There is no physical storefront; the owners like the idea of setting up on Saturday mornings and talking to customers face-to-face in the market setting. They can also gather feedback on their products. They will be at the farmers market twice a month, allowing time to make more items to sell. The online store will be available this month, and then Winter Garden merchandise can be purchased from anywhere. The old-school designs tie the city’s origins to today. Blaine and Crabtree both have deep roots in the city. Blaine’s

great-grandfather, Thomas Mann, once owned Mann & Mills in downtown Winter Garden, and Crabtree’s grandfather, Bob Kerr, was the owner of a marine mechanic shop on Main Street. “Our designs speak to our history of growing up here in Winter Garden and the surrounding areas,” Crabtree said. “They are purposely vintage and touchable with a modern slant. Residents and visitors love Winter Garden and the sense of community you get when walking down Plant Street. So, we wanted to create something that people would be proud to wear and display.” All three collaborate equally on the business and creative sides. One idea is to work with other artists and create more products. “While we have strong roots in the area, we like to hear what others are doing and how they can contribute to our vision,” Crabtree said. With the three business partners working on different designs, it won’t be long before they have an abundant collection of authentic and original products to offer. For more, visit abnewton.com.

Kyle Burdue Through two games this season, the Legacy Charter defense has allowed just six points. Helping to lead the way has been senior safety Kyle Burdue. Burdue recorded 16 tackles against First Academy-Leesburg and nine tackles Sept. 2 against Lake Mary Prep. He has also returned a fumble for a touchdown.

The defense has gotten off to a strong start this fall. Why has that been the case? I think our defense does so well because we work well as a team. … I think people have overlooked us this year, and that makes us want to work harder and push harder to prove them wrong. You tallied 16 tackles in Week One. Were you in a bit of zone on defense? Yeah, I think so. We were (defending) in our own red zone a lot, and I wanted to get us out of there. I just wanted to push myself hard and always flow to the ball no matter what. What was it like to score a touchdown on defense? I had never scored a touchdown on defense before — it

was awesome. Which of your upcoming games are you most looking forward to? I’m looking forward to the Windermere Prep game. I think it’s our Homecoming Game, and it’s a challenging game. I’m looking forward to working hard to compete with them (the Lakers). Which teammate on the defense are you the most in sync with? I think it’s Tomas Perez, the middle linebacker. (He) and I are always calling out the strong side and all the receivers, letting everybody know (what to do). Also Zachary Kelley, our cornerback, (because) he’s also my holder (on kicks) and I practice with him a lot in the offseason. What are you hoping to study in college? If I go to college, I want to be a wildlife biologist and study conservation. I do a lot of hunting and fishing, so I’m out in nature a lot. Do you have any good hunting or fishing stories? Coach (Jarrett) Wiggers and I caught an alligator that was 12 foot, 10 inches the day after our Homecoming Game in 2015. That was a lot of fun. What is your favorite pro football team? My favorite pro team is the Green Bay Packers because we actually know the coach (Mike McCarthy). My mom roomed with his sister in college, so when he came down to Tampa, we were able to go see him and meet him.

territory as a senior. Braden earned the job as the Warriors’ starting center in the spring of his freshman year (2014) — just ahead of the two best seasons (2014 and 2015) in the program’s history. Now a senior, Braden is the only member of last year’s offensive line that is left after 18 of West Orange’s 22 starters graduated. “It’s really different, because now, I’m the guy everybody looks to,” Braden said. It is not lost on Braden how special his time at West Orange has been — even with at least eight more games to play. The opportunity to play with so many players on the offensive side of the ball who have gone on to play college football — from Dexter Williams to Jalen Julius to Eddie McDoom and so on — has been a unique experience for any high school player. And then, of course, there are the two blue-chip quarterbacks Braden to whom has been responsible for snapping the ball: Woody Barrett, now a freshman at Auburn University, and Austin Burton, the Warriors’ current starter who is committed to UCLA. “It’s really cool working with guys that are going to big places,” Braden said. “Woody, definitely, he was the hype guy. Austin is more of a lead-by-example guy.” Braden, himself, hopes to go places, although his dream job as a commercial or cargo pilot

narrows his field of colleges. In Florida, for instance, schools such as Florida Tech and Jacksonville University are among the few colleges with both football and aviation programs. Even if he were able to earn a scholarship at one of those schools or another like them, the task of studying aviation and playing college football would be no small order. “I know that if I did that it would be really hard work,” Braden said. “They are both intensive things to do.” As Braden’s senior season continues along, it will be a special year for both him and his family. Both of Braden’s parents — Robert and Amy Garman — are heavily involved in the West Orange Quarterback Club and have enjoyed their time within the Warrior community. “It’s exciting, because it’s his senior year, but it’s also kind of a bittersweet thing,” Robert Garman said. Hopefully for the Garmans, the Warriors — who are 1-1 after two games — can put together another playoff run to extend the season for as long as possible. Although West Orange is fresh off a sound defeat by Winter Park in Week Two, Braden believes the future is still bright for the Warriors. “It’s just going to take a lot of heart, a lot of effort, and everybody has just got to get on board,” he said.

ORANGE CRATE RIVALRY LOOMS The West Orange Warriors and Dr. Phillips Panthers will take the field in Dr. Phillips this Friday. See page 29 for a preview of the big game.

Local brothers take field as college teammates The college football season got rolling this past weekend with a full slate of exciting games — including one game that featured a pair of local brothers who took the field as college teammates for the first time. Foundation Academy alumni Denzel and Darius Irvin, of Winter Garden, are both members of the Charlotte 49ers’ defense. Each player saw some action when the 49ers took on the No. 19 Louisville Cardinals on the road Sept. 1. Denzel Irvin, a redshirt sophomore defensive back who saw the field in 11 games in 2015, had three tackles in the opener for the 49ers. Darius Irvin, a redshirt freshman linebacker, recorded one

tackle in his college football debut. The 49ers, who are in their second season in Conference

USA and their first season as bowl-eligible members of the FBS, were soundly defeated by the Cardinals, 70-14.

Ocoee shows positives in heartbreaking loss

CHALK TALK

WEEK TWO RESULTS Scores from Week Two football games played Sept. 2 (home teams on bottom): Legacy Charter 36, Lake Mary Prep 0

Some notes from the Week One action:

Lake Nona 25, Ocoee 22 Winter Park 50, West Orange 14 The First Academy 22, Foundation Academy 7 ObserverPreps. com results: East River 13, Olympia 20

n Gehrig Chambless threw for three touchdowns and ran for another during Legacy’s 36-0 win over Lake Mary Prep Sept. 2.

Apopka 78, Edgewater 0

n Konrie Brown amassed 20 carries for 160 yards and scored all three Ocoee touchdowns on runs of 77, 14 and nine yards Sept. 2 against Lake Nona. n Foundation Academy’s Lester Axon scored the Lions’ sole touchdown Sept. 2 when he picked up a fumble and ran it back for a touchdown early in the third quarter.

WEEK TWO PREVIEW

n West Orange wide receiver DaShaun Collins finished with five catches for 62 yards during the Warriors’ loss to Winter Park Sept. 2.

lass half-empty or glass half-full: It’s all a matter of perspective. On the one hand, after trailing 18-0 to Lake Nona at halftime, Ocoee scored 22 unanswered points on three touchdowns by Konrie Brown to rally to take the lead in the fourth quarter. That fight that coach Ben Bullock’s team showed is certainly a potential foundation moving forward. On the other hand, the Knights (0-2) let that late lead slip away as Michael McFarlane bowled

into the end zone with seconds remaining to rescue the Lions (2-0). Here’s hoping Ocoee builds upon the former as it takes a breather during a bye week. OFFENSIVE PRODUCTION AN ISSUE FOR LIONS

Through two games, Foundation Academy has scored just 10 points, and its offense has yet to score a touchdown (the Lions’ sole touchdown came on a defensive play). Foundation Academy (0-2)

has just 123.5 yards of offense through two games, though it should be noted one of those losses came against a Class 8A opponent in inter-city rival West Orange (1-1). Still, the lack of passing production is of particular concern as the Lions have just 22 passing yards through eight quarters of play. A bright spot for the Foundation offense has been senior Jaquane Patterson, whose 109 yards on 22 carries has been good for an average of just under five yards per carry.

Warriors look to rebound in Orange Crate Game WEST ORANGE (1-1) AT DR. PHILLIPS (2-0), 7 P.M. SCOUTING REPORT: The Warriors’ blowout loss to Winter Park was the first game of a brutal three-game stretch, with the Panthers representing part two. West Orange triumphed over Dr. Phillips in dramatic, come-from-behind fashion in 2015, but the Warriors’ thrilling 41-34 win won’t carry much weight when kickoff rolls around on Friday. On paper, Dr. Phillips’ strengths should play right into the Warriors’ weaknesses. The Panthers have several speedy skill players that could run wild against a defense that has exhibited spotty tackling. The Dr. Phillips defense has a strong pass rush that could also do well against an inexperienced offensive line for West Orange. The Warriors also will have to be on their game on special teams: The Panthers have three kick returns for touchdowns already this season. On the other hand, the 50-14 thumping at the hands of the Wildcats Sept. 2 could serve as a wake-up call for the Warriors just in time to get them mentally prepared for the tall task the Panthers will present.

LEGACY (2-0) AT JUPITER CHRISTIAN (1-1), 7 P.M. SCOUTING REPORT: The Eagles are allowing just three points per game as they travel to take on a team averaging 15 points per game, presenting the Legacy defense with a chance to show what it’s made of with its toughest task yet. The Eagles’ offense got going after a slow game in Week One, with Gehrig Chambless accounting for four touchdowns in Week Two. Jupiter Christian’s defense pitched a shutout in Week Two.

The West Orange Warriors and Dr. Phillips Panthers will take the field at Bill Spoone Stadium Sept. 9.

FOUNDATION ACADEMY (0-2) AT CARROLLWOOD DAY (1-1), 7 P.M. SCOUTING REPORT: The Lions got shut out when they hosted the Patriots in 2015, and if they hope to avoid a similar outcome this time around, their offense will have to establish some rhythm early in Friday’s contest. The Lions are averaging just 22 passing yards per game to pair with 101.5 rushing yards. Meanwhile, a trio of sophomore quarterbacks for Carrollwood day — led by Raymond Woodie — are averaging a combined 134.5 passing yards per game.

THE FIRST ACADEMY (2-0) AT CFCA (0-1), 7 P.M. SCOUTING REPORT: CFCA will have its work cut out for it on offense against a Royals’ defense that has not allowed a touchdown yet this season. Meanwhile, the Eagles’ own defense has been led by the strong play of Macena Gay, a sophomore who registered 10 tackles (eight solo) in Week One against Orlando Christian Prep. OCOEE (0-2) — BYE SCOUTING REPORT: The Knights will have a week off to shore up some items that shown through during losses to Apopka and Lake Nona. Ocoee returns to action with a home game against Edgewater in Week Four.

they’ve probably had in the past,” Tibbetts said. “They’ve really responded.” It also does not hurt that Lauren Miller, a standout outside hitter, has returned to the program. Miller, a senior, transferred to West Orange for the 2015 season after being a part of the Foundation teams that played for state championships in 2012 and 2013. Miller’s return for her senior year has helped invigorate the program, which had a down year in 2015. “As a coach, it’s great having

a player (such as Miller) — a goto player that you know you can count on no matter what,” Tibbetts said. “The girls love that she’s back here at Foundation.” Miller, who has chosen not to play club volleyball anymore and is undecided about whether she wants to play in college, said it has been refreshing to play for the Lions new coach. “She’s very encouraging, so I definitely enjoy that and she knows the game pretty well,” Miller said. Along with strong play from other seniors such as Christina Rumbaugh and Adriana Jes-

sup, the Lions have raced out to a strong start. Foundation’s four wins over CFCA, International Community, Orlando Christian Prep and Real Life Christian Academy have all been sweeps. Despite that, Tibbetts sees plenty of room for improvement. “Right now, we’re fortunate that we’ve been the team that has had more talent (in its victories),” Tibbetts said. “Are we playing as a great group of six right now? No — but we have great pieces that will eventually get there.” Contact Steven Ryzewski at sryzewski@orangeobserver.com.
