Horizon West’s Village H is set to expand again with a proposed request to build the first phase of apartments in the Waterleigh planned development. Situated between Avalon Road HORIZON WEST

and State Road 429, just south of Seidel Road, applicant VHB, Inc. plans to build 252 multi-family residential units as part of the overall Waterleigh development. There already are 3,600 new homes in the Waterleigh community, situated on more than 1,400 acres and focused on a lakefront lifestyle. The new apartments

are another piece of the development plan, with much of Village H being part of the Waterleigh neighborhood. The other two properties, Springhill and the Zanzibar property, complete the village, which is bordered on the west by Lake County. SEE WATERLEIGH PAGE 4

City of Ocoee FY ’16-’17

coee commissioners have approved the tentative Fiscal Year 2016-17 budget. The total proposed revenue and expenditures for fiscal year 2016-17 is $68,204,030, wrote Ocoee Finance Manager Pam Brosonski in an email. This is a 4% increase of $2,634,045, compared to

the 2015-16 total budget of $65,569,985. The budget includes the general fund, stormwater fund, utilities fund, water and sewer fund, solid waste fund and impact fees funds. At $42,033,535, the general fund makes up 62% of the total budget — a 6% decrease from the 2015-16 fiscal year. Personnel costs are the largest portion of the general fund

at $26,719,330 (65.3%), which includes a 3% pay increase for some city employees. The Ocoee Police Department garnered $9,935,905 and the fire department was given $6,404,385. The most drastic increase came from capital outlay costs, which saw a 29% increase at $3,016,720, compared to the 2015-16 capital outlay fund of $2,140,740.

MILLAGE RATE

6.5

The proposed millage rate for the 2016-17 is 6.5; however, the final rate is to be decided on Sept. 21, during the final budget hearing. The budget is currently balanced at a 5.9104 millage rate.

Police negotiations continue CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The comments were made Sept. 13 during a three-hour negotiation between the FOP — the union that represents Winter Garden’s police officers — and the City of Winter Garden. “If you think that you’re going to sit here and tell us you’re heroes and risk your lives and it’s going to work on us,

it’s not. We (the city) don’t care,” read the quote attributed to Mandel and posted on the West Orange Residents Discussion Facebook group. The post received nearly 100 comments before it was deleted. “Considering all that has transpired, we have decided to remove Jeff Mandel from the negotiating team,” Winter Garden City Manager Mike Bollhoefer said Monday, Sept. 19. “We believe this is in the best interest of our police officers, the union and the city.” As a labor attorney, Mandel negotiates for many police and

fire departments around the state. Mandel maintains his comments were made in response to a statement made by someone in attendance and were misrepresented. “I respect and admire anyone who dons a uniform, and the notion that I am anti-lawenforcement officers(s) cannot be further from the truth,” he said. “It was never my intent to create the perception that the city, or I, do not care about the city’s police officers.” Although Mandel is not longer a part of the negotiations, Bollhoefer, who was not present at the meeting, said prior to the Internet furor, both parties believed the meeting went well. “I have spoken to all the members who were at the meeting with the exception of one police officer, and they’ve all denied the statement was made in that context,” he said. According to email correspondence between Mandel and George Hachigian, the FOP’s general counsel’s chief of staff, the quote was not Orlando Health Physician interpreted in an Associates is one of the largest offensive manner multispecialty healthcare groups in by the FOP.

I would like to apologize for the actions of the members of the local FOP. … For the record, I did not interpret any of your statements or comments in the way they are being portrayed in the social media rant.” Bollhoefer defended the attorney and said he doubted Mandel “would ever do anything to insult or denigrate the job that (police officers) perform,” considering how “foolish” that would be. “Now I will tell you this, if we had an attorney and that were his feelings about public safety officers, we would fire him,” Bollhoefer said. “Because I wouldn’t want an attorney (who) felt that way about safety officers.” However, he has now been removed from the negotiating team for the union contract, Bollhoefer said. Bollhoefer assures that Mandel’s removal will not affect negotiations. He believes his removal is necessary because some officers were offended by his comment. “Although there is disagreement as to exactly what was said, and, according to most in attendance, the comments were taken out of context, it is clear an inappropriate comment was made,” Bollhoefer wrote in an email. “Therefore, we decided to remove Mr. Mandel from the negotiating team.” Contact Gabby Baquero at gbaquero@orangeobserver.com.

“(These are) market-grade apartments,” said applicant John Prowell, of VHB, a planning and engineering firm. “They’re not affordable housing or a niche for senior housing; it’s market grade. It’s a quality project here. It won’t be gated or anything like that.” The proposed apartments are three-story buildings. They are allowed under code to be up to five stories, but Prowell assured

community members they will only be three stories. In the past, there were concerns brought up regarding stormwater drainage and runoff, since Hickory Nut Lake — considered the “crown jewel” of the project — is nearby. The water will run in two different places when it rains: down to a typical stormwater pond, and through an underground pipe that runs across Avalon Road and empties into a wetland. One resident at the meeting

The first phase of the Waterleigh apartments is situated between Avalon Road and State Road 429, just south of Seidel Road.

asked about the possibility of doing Type A drainage, which is when all runoff from the backyard to the front drains forward into the streets and the stormwater ponds. However, often, lakefront properties have a high elevation, and the land flows down toward the lake so it isn’t possible to have Type A drainage without a sort of wall being constructed to mitigate the backward flow. “We usually try to get as much forward as we can and everything that goes to the backyard is captured in a dry environmental swell,” Prowell said. “I can’t tell you there would be A-graded drainage all around the lot because it wouldn’t be practical.” Another concern was the impact the new development will have on nearby schools. Prowell said this is taken care of by the developer paying the required

school impact fees, which help mitigate the cost of development and land use on the school system. Additionally, the overall plan for Village H, once complete, includes an elementary school, a middle school and a high school. Because the village already has been zoned as planned development (PD), construction can begin as soon as required permits are received. Prowell said they hope to break ground on the project by early 2017, and the apartments could be complete by the year after.

Campaigns continue Orange County Commission District 1 candidates Robert “Bobby” Olszewski and Betsy VanderLey participated in their first debate following the August primary. The runoff will take place Tuesday, Nov. 8. the Performing Arts, another hot topic. Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs has suggested paying for it with $45 million from the Tourism Development Tax. Both VanderLey and Olszewski had reservations but said they likely would vote in favor of using TDT to fund the remainder of the project.

GABBY BAQUERO STAFF WRITER ORANGE COUNTY Orange County Commission District 1 candidates Robert “Bobby” Olszewski and Betsy VanderLey tackled a variety of issues in their first post-primary debate, held Sept. 14 at the Tiger Bay Club of Central Florida. Olszewski and VanderLey were the two front-runners following the August primary. They both seek to replace S. Scott Boyd, who has termed out of the position. The moderator for the hourlong debate was former Fox 35 news reporter Mike Synan, who asked questions concerning how to improve the relationship between Orange County and Orange County Public Schools, along with funding proposals for SunRail and development of the Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center. District 5 candidates Emily Bonilla and Ted Edwards also participated in the debate.

RELIEF FOOTBALL STADIUM

Synan posed a question catered to District 1 rival candidates pertaining to the location of the football stadium for the West Orange relief high school. The stadium will be built a mile away off campus, instead of on campus, and the decision has prompted safety concerns from parents.

NEGATIVE MAILERS

Betsy VanderLey and Robert “Bobby” Olszewski hope to succeed Orange County District 1 Commissioner S. Scott Boyd.

Olsewski said he believes they should listen to constituents’ worries and that he would encourage a discussion to get public input. VanderLey believes a compromise was firmly struck, and she would rather not drag a vote back up again because it would “only delay a school that is desperately needed.” SUNRAIL

Both candidates agreed a financial plan should have been devised

before SunRail was built. “If you’re going to use the system, then you should bear some of the cost,” VanderLey said. However, that is not currently feasible because SunRail does not have enough ridership. VanderLey suggested the best option would be to evaluate land usage in the areas surrounding SunRail stations to determine what they can do to increase ridership. Olszewski’s argument paralleled VanderLey’s. “There’s no doubt we need to

do everything we can (to encourage ridership),” he said. He proposed Orange County work with various transportation groups and neighboring municipalities to do so, but emphasized Orange County should shoulder most of the responsibility and costs. DR. PHILLIPS CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

Candidates also offered suggestions for funding for phase 2 of the Dr. Phillips Center for

In response to negative mailers used during the campaign, VanderLey stressed her family does not own any land in the district that needs to be developed and that she does not have any employer — she is self-employed. After a criticism uttered by Olszewski regarding a fundraiser she had at a gun range, she retorted that was hosted by the Police Benevolent Association, which she trusts with weapons considering they are police. Meanwhile, Olszewski spoke about his lack of appearance at multiple MetroPlan committee meetings, defending his poor attendance record by explaining his disgust with elected officials who used votes to “benefit their own paychecks.” He said he informed Winter Garden Mayor John Rees of his decision to stop attending the MetroPlan meetings, to which Rees approved.

The Ocoee Police Department recently acquired subscription access to web software that enables them enhance communication between the department and Ocoee residents. At a yearly subscription cost of $600 to $700, the new software enables Ocoee officers to create their own crime-analysis maps, rather than wait for the records department to make a crime report available. “We like this tool because even a patrol sergeant can go ahead and research specific crimes to deter-

mine where to place our officers during briefings and even create their own crime-analysis map, if they wanted to,” said Steve McCosker, interim deputy chief for OPD. “So it allows them to decide where it is best to put our officers without having to wait for the crime-analysis report to come out from our employee that does that.” Crime analysis is an important part of reducing crime because the method uses statistics involving times and locations to find crime patterns and trends, permitting cops to coordinate a plan and use their resources more effectively. “One example that happened

recently is that people were stealing white vans from outside the city and then dropping them off here in our city,” McCosker said, referencing a successful mission in which they used crime-analysis mapping techniques. “So (the crimeanalysis expert) was tracking where these vans were getting dropped off, which eventually led us to have a more directed patrol, and we were able to find out that they were using a public-storage unit to hide the stuff they were stealing with those vans.” The website is also a boon to residents because it provides an interactive map with a customizable search feature that allows users to keep themselves up to date on crime in their area. Users even can set up text alerts regarding criminal activity near them. “It allows (residents) to stay upto-date on what’s going on in their neighborhood,” McCosker said. “When we get questions during our Coffee With A Cop events or during HOA meetings, we get questions, specifically, about what’s going on in their neighborhood and this (webbased tool) allows people to have access to that information anytime they want.” Contact Gabby Baquero at gbaquero@orangeobserver.com.

RAVE OF THE WEEK

VENETIA M. SPENCER Rave — Hudson’s Tire. Earlier this week, I asked if anyone in this group had suggestions on where I could take my Hyundai to have the airconditioning repaired (I had already been quoted (more than) $1,100 by a mechanic here in town). I did get a few helpful responses but thought I would call Hudson’s to ask for their advice because I have used them for all my tires needs for (more than) 20 years. They told me they could not only do the repair but could do it the next day. It was repaired yesterday for less than $900. Side note — I was told I needed another repair as well at the previous mechanic that I found out wasn’t necessary. Richard and Reggie Hudson are the best. And a special thank you to Tim, who did the actual repair work.

Theater Threads The costumes in West Orange High’s upcoming production of “42nd Street” have a storied history behind them. And there’s a lot of them. JENNIFER NESSLAR STAFF WRITER

t’s been a busy week for the costume crew at West Orange High School. On the evening of Sept. 16,

the costumes for the production of “42nd Street” arrived at the school. Altogether, the rented pieces total more than 1,000 items, including hats and gloves.

This costume has traditionally been included in “42nd Street,” though there are varying opinions on how the costume looks. In West Orange’s production, the costume will be worn by Alyssa DeCresie, who the costume crew agrees looks lovely in the dress.

Backstage pass THE SHOW

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11

The musical tells the story of director Julian Marsh as he puts on a stage production during the Great Depression. “The characters are so big, so it’s a lot more cheesy-ish characters, it’s a cheesier show. So it’s difficult finding the depth of these characters and making them come to life,” said Emma Heistand, who plays Peggy. The show has a strong emphasis on dance and contains many tap numbers, which is a challenge for many of the students who have less experience with tap. Assistant director and choreographer Tara Whitman held some tap workshops over the summer to help the actors prepare for the show’s choreography. Matt Guernier, who plays Billy Lawlor, is looking forward to seeing the audience’s reaction to the show. “It’s such an upbeat and happy show,” Guernier said. “It’s high-energy.”

The costume crew had just more than a week to do all necessary alterations and get the items ready for the production, which opens Saturday, Sept. 24, at West Orange High School. These aren’t just any regular costumes. Many are from the 2001 Broadway revival of the show. Some come from the original Broadway production, while others were used in a recent production at The Muny, a theater in St. Louis. Any extra pieces, such as aprons, were made by the costume crew. NUMBERS GAME

This isn’t the first time West Orange theater has rented costumes used on Broadway. The program often rents costumes when doing period pieces such as “42nd Street.” The school uses a company called Costume World, based in Deerfield Beach. Because the musical is based in the Great Depression time period, the sheer number of layers and beads on the outfit made it more practical for the school to rent the costumes rather than create them all. But just because the costume crew didn’t make all the pieces of the costumes doesn’t make their job less challenging. “The students are responsible for taking care of them,” said Tara Whitman, assistant director and choreographer of the show. “A rip, a stain, would cost us to eat

The costume crew for “42nd Street” includes Sabrina Martin, Annie Pryor, Charlie Patterson, Emily Sannella, Coral Myan and Lucas Isasi.

the cost of it. It’s all about organization … anything that isn’t returned, we are responsible for. It speaks a lot to the students, the ladies and gents of the costume crew, because they’re responsible for all of that.” The number of costumes and accessories involved is a challenge. Kassidy Weideman, Ava Cassatta and Jessie Roddy have about 13 costumes and must do 16 changes throughout the show. Most of these changes need to be done in fewer than 40 seconds. In a typical show at West Orange, five costumes is usually the largest amount for one actor. BEHIND THE CURTAIN

In addition to costumes, the actors will need to change their wigs and shoes. The costume crew’s job doesn’t slow down after the show begins. Each lead actor who

IF YOU GO

needs to do a quick change gets a member of the costume crew to help with the process. “The perception is, once the show opens, the costume crew is finished,” Whitman said. “But that’s not the case. They’re quick changing and somebody’s got to run that costume back to the dressing room and then meet the actor when they come off for their next scene. Everyone’s going to be exhausted with this show.” Emily Sannella, the student assistant director of the costume crew, expects that the costume crew will need to stay about one to two hours after the show has ended. “At the end of the show, before anybody leaves, we have to make sure that everyone has all of their pieces hung up, and then we have to clean up after them,” Charlie Patterson, the student director

of the costume crew, said. “We also have to create check-in and check-out forms for when these costumes have to be packed up.” But for the costume crew, which runs at about eight members, the challenge is accepted. Contact Jennifer Nesslar at jnesslar@orangeobserver.com.

Ocoee preps for crucial district schedule

Shawn Coultoff, a fourth-grader at Whispering Oak Elementary, recently competed in the U.S. Kids World Golf Championships in North Carolina. Page 18

Pedigree

West Orange volleyball earned third place in the Gold Bracket of the Premiere Division at the Winter Park Showcase this past weekend. The Warriors, who lost just once in the event, topped Olympia 2-0 in the third-place match. West Orange is 9-2 on the season.

The Knights, 1-0 in district play so far, will play the bulk of their district schedule in the next 20 days — including three games on the road. STEVEN RYZEWSKI SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

Ocoee High swimmer Ryan Lee broke the school record for the 50-meter freestyle with a time of 22.7 seconds.

If the Ocoee Knights are going to boldly go where the contemporary Ocoee High’s football program has never gone before — the state playoffs — the next month is going to be crucial. In a wide-open, seven-team district, Ocoee just missed out on the playoffs in 2015, finishing 6-4 overall and 4-2 in Class 7A, District 4. This time, the Knights (1-2, 1-0 district) are already off to a better start than in 2015 after throttling a rebuilding Edgewater program 52-21 a year after losing that same game 21-7. The euphoria from a dominant showing may not last long for Ben Bullock’s program, however, as the realization that the Knights will play district contests the next four weeks against legitimate district title contenders — three of which will be on the road — has set in. “It’s like a West Coast-swing in the NBA,” Bullock said of the three road games. “We’ll kind of figure some things out by the time we come home.”

OCOEE

Tabor Fillipello rolled a 444 series for the Ocoee Knights boys bowling team (2-0) Sept. 15 in a win against Dr. Phillips (1-2).

Windermere Prep senior hoops star David Nickelberry committed to the University of Memphis Sept. 19.

After leading Dr. Phillips volleyball to a big win over rival Olympia, senior outside hitter Maredis Colon was named our Observer Preps Athlete of the Week. Full story at ObserverPreps.com!

THE GAUNTLET

Starting with Friday’s game at East Ridge (2-1), the gauntlet is on. The district’s other Knights, East Ridge has benefited from positive momentum after a 7-4 season in 2015 reinvigorated a program that had been down. Led by a dynamic, dual-threat quarterback in BeSean McCray, East Ridge should test an Ocoee defense that forced several turnovers against Edgewater in Week Four. Following East Ridge, the Knights will travel to take on last SEE KNIGHTS PAGE 19

ONE MONTH TO MAKE THE CASE

After opening district play with a victory Sept. 16, the Ocoee Knights are entering the meat of their district schedule in Class 7A’s District 4 — including three consecutive road games. n Sept. 23 at East Ridge (2-1, 0-0 district) n Sept. 30 at Hagerty (3-0, 1-0 district) n Oct. 7 at West Port (1-1, 1-0 district) n Oct. 13 vs. Lake Howell (3-1, 0-1 district)

STEVEN RYZEWSKI SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

hen Jim Rathmann talks about the

successes of the Legacy High football program so far this fall, he doesn’t start with the Eagles’ 3-0 record or staunch defense. No, the first-year defensive backs coach is perhaps most impressed with the discipline and dedication the team has showcased in the classroom. SEE LEGACY PAGE 18

Steven Ryzewski

Jim Rathmann, a first-year assistant coach with the Legacy High football team, brings a pedigree to the program that includes winning a national championship at LSU in college and serving our country as a member of the United States Army.

Former Louisiana State University safety and 2003 national champion Jim Rathmann has made a home for himself as the defensive backs coach at Legacy High this fall.

West Orange baseball duo commits

Although varsity baseball season is still several months away, the West Orange baseball team had something to celebrate last week when two of its seniors announced college destinations. Infielder Bobby Head and outfielder/pitcher Cale Newton announced their verbal commitments Sept. 11 and Sept. 12, respectively. Head committed to Austin Peay, and Newton committed to play for UCF.
