A preliminary community meeting primarily intended for residents near the area under consideration turned into nearly full Winter Garden City Commission Chambers Oct. 12. City staff had invited such citizens around the 90-acre portion of the Walkers Pond property, which stretches from Lake Roberts to Walker Pond Road, with Windermere Country Club immediately south. Developers wish to see Winter Garden annex this piece of land. But the other 6 1/4 acres abut the western side of Windermere Road and would remain unincorporated Orange County, so many received notification from the office of District 1 Orange County Commissioner S. Scott Boyd about the meeting.

NEWS BRIEFS Accident kills worker in Ocoee

Oba Awosika, 7, enjoyed a doughnut at this year’s event. Audrey Carrien, 7, Kate Carrien and Ali Klyce, 7, are all dressed up for the Donut Dash.

Mmm … doughnuts

unners gathered on Oct. 17 to support the Winter Garden Police Athletic League, go for a run and eat some doughnuts. The Donut Dash 5K at the Winter Garden Village at Fowler Groves had a doughnuts station serving Krispy Kreme doughnuts. The runners passed the station three times. For each doughnuts the runner ate during the race, their final time would be

shortened by 30 seconds. Tyson Occenat, an Olympia High School cross-country runner, won with the race with a time of 15:19 —without the help of doughnuts to cut down his time. Kyle Wilder, a member of the fitness team Team Blacksheep, ate 15 donuts, the most of anyone at the race. Wilder was still able to complete the race. — JENNIFER NESSLAR

Dominique Casiano and her son, Xander Perez, 12, were ready for the Donut Dash. Perez got his hat at Universal Studios.

An accident claimed the life of a 25-year-old construction worker last week. Ocoee Police Department officials said Guillermo Solis, an employee for Lane Construction Corp., was struck in the head by an object that fell from a crane Oct. 16. The worker was taken to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee and then transferred to Orlando Regional Medical Center by helicopter, where he died from the injuries. Lane Construction Corp. is a contractor working on widening State Road 50 from State Road 429 east to the West Oaks Mall. A spokesperson for Orange County Fire Rescue said the accident occurred in the eastbound lanes of State Road 50 near Bluford Avenue and that OCFR was dispatched in response to the event at 9:04 a.m. Friday morning. Occupational Safety and Health Administration was notified, according to police.

Decorations thief arrested

Kara Sons ran the race with her brother, Dylan. They each ate six doughnuts.

Kyle Wilder, a member of the fitness team Team Blacksheep, ate the most doughnuts of anyone at the race. Even after eating 15 doughnuts, he was still able to finish.

The case of the vanishing Halloween decorations in Winter Garden has been solved. Last week, Winter Garden Police Department detectives arrested Darci Cortes, 40, for stealing decorations from five homes in the Hickory Hammock community. Cortes was charged with burglary, grand theft and petit theft. Detectives used surveillance footage from a Hickory Hammock resident’s camera. The footage caught Cortes moving Halloween decorations from the back seat of a car to the trunk. After police made contact with Cortes, she agreed to meet with detectives. In the subsequent interview, she confessed to stealing the decorations, which have since been returned to the owners. According to Florida arrest records, Cortes has been arrested numerous times in Volusia County for possession of MDMA (Ecstasy).

2016 relief school will draw from Independence The new zoning will force some students to transfer for the second time in two years. CATHERINE SINCLAIR STAFF WRITER HORIZON WEST A new elementary

school will be opening in Horizon West next year, and the district rezoning to account for the new school will require some students to attend their third school in three years. Independence Elementary School opened this year to provide relief for Keene’s Crossing and Sunset Park elementary schools. The school that will open next year will relieve Sunset Park primarily but also will take students from the other two schools. For residents of certain subdivisions — including The Preserve at Lakes of Windermere, Oasis Cove and Lake Reams Townhomes — that means their children will have attended Sunset Park in 2014-15, Independence in 2015-

16 and the new school in 2016-17. About 200 students will be affected in this way, including Jen Iapichino’s three children, who live in The Preserve. “There’s no stability or consistency,” Iapichino said. “They can’t get really behind one school because they keep switching. We’ve done a lot to get Independence up and running, and I’ve gotten very involved in the PTO, and the kids love their teachers, but we have to leave next year.” Pam Gould, Orange County Public School Board member

for District 4, said the new relief school, and therefore, rezoning, are necessary because of the development boom in Winter Garden and Horizon West. “We’re in a high-growth area, and the growth is moving west,” Gould said. Students who will be in fifth grade next year are allowed to stay at Independence, but it could be difficult for their families. “What happens is, unfortunately, you might have somebody with younger siblings, and they would be required to move,” Gould said. There is also the issue of transportation: There won’t be any bus stops for Independence in the

affected subdivisions. OCPS has posted an online survey through which families offer input on the two rezoning options for next year. Both maps require some students to attend their third school in three years. The difference is whether some students in Horizon West would be redirected to Independence from Keene’s Crossing. “We were trying to get the right number of students in the schools but try to keep communities together, too—that’s what we always try to do,” Gould said about the rezoning options. Iapichino said in her area, the rezoning is going to have the opposite effect. “It tears up a neighborhood if some kids stay at Independence and some kids go to the new school. Then the kids are all split up,” she said. Contact Catherine Sinclair at csinclair@wotimes.com.

The larger area would include 43.26 preservation acres, making the maximum density 2.57 units per acre, whereas the smaller area would have 1.75 preservation acres for a maximum density of 0.89 units per acre. The 1986 Joint Planning Area agreement local municipalities entered with Orange County provided the reasoning for the split — the 90-acre area is in the allotted land for Winter Garden to annex and is abutting current city property, whereas the separated area is neither allotted nor abutting, according to a map of the accord. “The city of Ocoee, the city of Winter Garden, Windermere and Orange County, along with Apopka and a bunch of other cities, came together to figure out what

would be a reasonable annexation of municipalities,” Daly said. “They do that for utilities; they do that for roads; they do that for police protection; they do that for fire protection.” The average lot size would be about one-third of an acre. Zoning would change to Winter Garden PUD, although the land is part of the Windermere Rural Settlement. Toll Brothers is the builder Daly has in mind, but no application has been submitted. The process would take at least a year once underway. The order of steps this plan would need to undergo would be: annexation by Winter Garden; an amendment to the city’s comprehensive plan; a rezone to PUD; a preliminary plan; and then final approval.

Developers seek one- and twostory houses, a roundabout and setbacks of 15 to 20 feet, Daly said. There would be no community access ramp to Lake Roberts, but a few properties would be lakefront, he said. A throng of locals ardently rejected the proposal on the basis of disrupting the rural settlement and the neighboring properties, with a variety of related points. Windermere Crossings residents had concerns with disruptions to wetlands, possible flooding based on experience, environmental and fauna issues, home sizes, effects on neighbors, road quality and school capacity.

Meritage proposes 305-home project AMY QUESINBERRY RHODE COMMUNITY EDITOR OAKLAND Elected officials learned

details of a planned community Meritage Homes wants to build for 305 families on the western end of Oakland. If approved, the project would include bungalows on 2,880-square-foot lots and homes on lots 5,750 square feet in size. Max Spann, town planning and zoning director, presented the plan at the Oct. 13 commission meeting and said, if passed, this would be the first Oakland subdivision connected solely to wastewater. He also called it a “very dense-feeling project,” because of zero lot lines and the number of dwellings planned for the community. Oakland Trails is proposed for a 108-acre parcel north and west of the intersection of West Colonial Drive and Deer Island Road, directly east of the Lake County border and south of Florida’s Turnpike. A major town concern is the critical traffic issue at the intersection of Old Highway 50, J.W. Jones Road, Deer Island Drive and Oakland Avenue. The solution proposed is to construct a roundabout at that intersection and to reroute the West Orange Trail. The main entrance to the first and second phases of the neighborhood would be on J.W. Jones Road.

184886

“The development plan support the initiatives in the town’s 20-year vision to maintain ‘Historic Oakland,’” Spann said, because a majority of the original plat of the town has lots ranging in size from 2,250 square feet with alleys up to 3,750 square feet without. This would be the largest development approved in the town outside of the original town plat. Currently, the largest is John’s Landing phases one and two, which have a total of 273 lots. Another concern of the commission is how the neighborhood will be addressed. Most of the residents in John’s Landing have a Winter Garden address, and town officials want to make sure Oakland Trails residents have an Oakland address. The first phase of the subdivision calls for 145 single-family residential units and the amenity center. Phase 2 could have up to 205 single-family units. Approximately 22 acres would be set aside for open space and recreation. The current population of Oakland is slightly less than 3,000; this subdivision would mean a 13% increase in population. First and second readings of the proposed ordinance are scheduled for the Oct. 27 and Nov. 10 commission meetings.

MAKE YOUR WAY THROUGH OAKLAND CORN MAZE

The town of Oakland approved a corn maze for 15949 West Colonial Drive, to be set up through at least Nov. 15. The commission was in favor of the event, which promotes ecotourism and agri-tourism in the town. Bradley Gardner, of Gardner’s Fresh Produce, has been growing corn on land adjacent to Superior Sheds and opened the maze last week.

BY ZAK KERR STAFF WRITER WINTER GARDEN

A discrepancy about security payments to municipal police departments from Orange County Public Schools has led to the end of Winter Garden Police Department providing officers for local public school security. From the start of the 201516 school year, Orange County Sheriff’s Office personnel have been covering Winter Garden elementary and middle schools. OCSO already has been monitoring West Orange High School based on a similar circumstance, OCPS General Counsel Woody Rodriguez said. “I think about three years ago, after Sandy Hook, the police chiefs for the different municipalities had gotten together and said, ‘Hey, we know that you all need more protection in your schools … but we feel as if we’re not getting paid the equivalent of what other jurisdictions are getting paid,’” he said. Winter Garden City Manager Mike Bollhoefer said WGPD Chief George Brennan had led the group of police chiefs negotiating for increased pay from OCPS. Ocoee and Maitland were in a similar situation and also did not receive payment for the 2014-15 year on time, Bollhoefer said. “We had provided the officers for a whole year in good faith, but they weren’t willing to pay it,” he said. “During their research, (the chiefs) realized Seminole County’s school system pays a larger reimbursement rate, and so does Osceola County. I think the intention of our police department was to get a fair rate, where OCPS would pay 50% of the costs, and the police would pay 50% of the costs.” The two sides reached an agreement in late September on a contract to legally permit payment of the $83,000 OCPS owed WGPD for 2014-15, Rodriguez said. But the split for this school year occurred not long before classes began. Bollhoefer said amid negotiations, Winter Garden officials sent a message the Friday before schools opened that they would not continue providing officers if OCPS would not pay for the prior year. “However, within a couple hours of sending that email to them, we called them and backed off that position, saying we would go ahead and put

17000 block of West Colonial Drive. Drug possession. An officer followed a weaving car going 55 mph and activated both lights and siren, but the car continued at a constant speed. Another officer drove in front of the car and activated lights while the original told the driver to stop via intercom. The driver tried merging right, but the officer in front also did, easing to a stop while the other tried to block him in. The driver drifted back to the center lane at about 5 mph. The officer in back exited his car and alongside the closed driver window told the driver to stop. He replied, “No, man!” The officer smelled cannabis from the car, failed to open the locked door and then again asked him to stop, but he said no and then turned the car toward the other officer while gaining speed. The original officer aimed his pistol at the car and shouted to stop; the driver finally complied. The driver complied with orders to exit the car, turn around and put hands behind his back. The officers arrested him on charges of resisting an officer without violence and cannabis and drug possession. They learned he was on inmate release status for similarly fleeing an officer. They found less than 20 grams of marijuana in the car, a rental.

12000 block of West Colonial Drive. Drunken driving. An officer noticed a driver wearing no seat belt and swerving at 2:53 a.m., so a traffic stop occurred. The suspect complied with a request to exit the car and said he needed to pee. The officer said he could use a bathroom when they were done, but the driver proceeded to wet his pants without acknowledgement. He declined sobriety tests and was under arrest on DUI charges. He continued urinating while the officer handcuffed him, causing a puddle to form, again sans recognition. He fell asleep in the patrol car and then refused a breath test. He received a citation for lack of seat belt.

them in the schools,” he said. “However, by that time, they had already gone and contracted with the sheriff’s department.” Rodriguez said this was due to a working relationship between OCPS and OCSO. “OCPS concluded that the Sheriff’s Office was more than an adequate replacement,” he said. “Since then, the city of Winter Garden manager has offered to provide police services for the three elementary schools and the two middle schools but not the high school. OCPS is very satisfied with the level of service provided by the Sheriff’s Office and has no current plans to seek those services from the city of Winter Garden.”

“We’ve worked out all the differences now. We will work closely with the sheriff’s department and OCPS to ensure the safety of our children at school.” Winter Garden City Manager Mike Bollhoefer

Rodriguez also said OCPS had increased payments each of the prior three years, including 25% before last year’s contract. Moreover, no other municipality official had suggested officers would not report for security duty if payments were not secured, he said. Payment situations with Ocoee and Maitland both have been rectified, he said. “OCPS continues to make the safety of our students a top priority, and when that safety was compromised by the actions of the city manager, OCPS moved quickly to secure adequate protections and safeguards,” Rodriguez said. “We are fortunate to have a great partner in the Orange County Sheriff’s Office that was able to step up and provide those services on short notice.” Bollhoefer said the city would still be willing to help OCPS keep children safe in other ways. “We’ve worked out all the differences now,” he said. “We will work closely with the sheriff’s department and OCPS to ensure the safety of our children.” Contact Zak Kerr at zkerr@wotimes.com.

I advised I’d be coming by 5:30 p.m., and when I arrived, I was greeted by the friendly owner. Our server, Sergio, was super attentive, as were Mr. Servando and his bus staff. Our food came out promptly considering the large party, and boy was it delicious. A definite must-try. So pleased they made my parents’ anniversary outing a success.

When his family became debt-free, Neal decided Axum was the place he wanted to be. He made the transition to full-time work this summer. “I’m easily the fifth or sixth best barista at this place,” Neal said, referring to Axum. “Axum is blessed to have a plethora of good baristas.”

By the end of the day, the photo had 550 Likes on Facebook, putting Neal in the top spot over 400 other baristas throughout the world. Second place had just more than 300 likes. Famous barista Dritan Alsela, of Düsseldorf, Germany, organized the competition, which he dubbed the “8th World Barista Competition.” He invited all followers to vote on their favorite latte art by liking the photo. Alsela’s page has more than 700,000 Likes from all over the world. Neal knows the competition is different from the average barista competition. In those, baristas are given a picture and required to recreate the picture. Typical barista contests also deal with taste and stricter judging. All that aside, Neal is glad to have recognition for Winter Garden. “I kind of got lucky, I guess,” he said. “Obviously, I had some good art, but I probably wouldn’t have won it if it was something else.”

QUICK HITS

Neal considers himself an artist. He’s played the drums for 20 years and performs regularly in the worship band at Mosaic Church. Once or twice a month, he also plays in a band at Disney Springs in a cover band with an artist called Drey-C. Now, he sees the food industry as an outlet for his creativity. “Food is one of the only jobs where you get praised for being creative,” he said. Latte art is just another form of expression, he said. It’s a challenge to make beautiful art, as well as a good cup of coffee. It took Neal two weeks to learn how make a rosetta — which is fast. “It wasn’t amazing,” he said. But it took him two to three months to learn the phoenix, which is a combination of the most basic designs, the rosetta, tulip and heart. He’s not done learning. Next, he hopes to master a hanging heart, as well as a special rosetta. Contact Jennifer Nesslar at jnesslar@wotimes.com.

THE RECIPE

A latte starts with an espresso base. Then, the barista steams the milk to reach a hot temperature. The milk is then aerated. The aeration expands the milk, creating foam, which creates the art. Baristas push the foam into the coffee to create the design.

TIPS FROM THE PRO n Master steaming and aerating milk, then work on latte art. n Master the basic latte designs: heart, tulip and rosetta. The phoenix is a mixture of all three of these designs. n Watch videos from people who are experienced latte artists. n Trial and error. Practice is the best way to get better.

A 1943 graduate of Lakeview High School, Burch was a well-known landscape artist whose paintings and murals are found in many homes and businesses in Central Florida. While much of his work focused on Florida’s scenery, he also painted people and places he visited. Burch’s varied interests ranged from making exotic cheeses in his refrigerator to downhill skiing and Rollerblading.

Mahindra Lutchman Ocoee High senior Mahindra Lutchman shot a 76 and finished tied for second place Oct. 15 at the Class 3A, District 7 Tournament at Windermere Country Club. With his strong round, Lutchman qualified for the Region 3 Tournament for a fourth consecutive year — making him the only golfer in program history to advance past district all four years of his career.

Ocoee’s district includes some formidable programs with lots of tradition. How proud are you to have advanced out of that district all four years? It feels good. It shows that a lot of hard work pays off, and I just try to keep getting better and better. When you were younger, as a freshman or sophomore, were you intimidated to golf against programs such as West Orange and Olympia? I was actually more excited. Since my brother was in high school, and I was in sixth grade, all I’ve wanted to do is play high school golf. Freshman year finally came, and I was just ready.

Have you become friends over the years with any of the golfers from other schools within the district? I’ve gotten to know a lot of them through different tournaments and high-school events. They all seem to be pretty friendly. When you’re out on the course for a varsity golf event, how much small talk do you like to make with opponents? When I play, I try to tell (my opponents) just to have a good time. The more fun we have, the better we play — and just not to make this so tense and stressed out. So, as we all walk to our balls, we just talk and stuff. Your success has helped bring the program along. How does that feel? It feels good to start something and just to go to regionals four times. It feels pretty good. What’s your favorite memory from varsity golf? It was actually this past match against Wekiva. It was the first time we went on a four-hole playoff because we tied. It was just really fun. I’ve known them for a very long time. What course did you enjoy playing the most? One course that I think is really nice is Isleworth in Windermere.

SIDELINE SCENE

Ocoee coach sends right message on wearing pink

STEVEN RYZEWSKI SIDELINE SCENE

Thinking of high-school football in October, a few things probably come to mind. Cooler temperatures and important district games are certainly among those things. But in recent years, it’s hard to separate football in October from players wearing pink gear in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Players are prone to wear pink arm bands, wrist bands, towels, compression sleeves, socks and a host of other accessories. Of course, this is generally a good thing — a great thing, actually. But, this question often arises. Do the players understand what they’re raising awareness for or are they are simply enjoying an opportunity to wear some cool gear? Many would like to see an increased effort to make sure that play-

ers understand the gravity of breast cancer, and cancer in general, so that the symbolism of wearing pink during a game retains its value. Count Ocoee football head coach Ben Bullock among them. Many Ocoee football players wore pink during the Knights’ away game Oct. 16 at Lake Howell High School — an important 42-2 district victory for Ocoee. What’s cool, though, is that it was a privilege they had to earn. Bullock had his players sell pink support bands and ask for donations to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund (Play4Kay.org) in the weeks leading up to the game. To wear pink during the game, they had to reach certain levels of fundraising. The net result was the Ocoee High football team raised more than $1,130 for breast cancer research. Moreover, in doing so, it made the pink gear that players wore a little more meaningful to them. Ocoee is not alone in this, either. While shooting photos at a Pop Warner football game at Olympia High School earlier this month, I heard the public address announcer share facts about breast cancer during breaks in play. We live in an age in which

Ben Bullock had his players raise money before they could wear pink for breast cancer awareness.

activism has become surprisingly easy in some ways — whether it’s social media activism, where you can simply tweet out a hashtag and say you stand for something, or the act of wearing a certain color. This isn’t a bad thing, either. But it is refreshing to have coaches such as Bullock, who aren’t afraid to remind their players that making a difference sometimes takes a little effort, too.

CLASS 2A, DISTRICT 4

Foundation Academy 2-0 (left to play: Agape on Oct. 29) Victory Christian 1-1 (left to play: Cornerstone on Oct. 30) Cornerstone Charter 1-1 (left to play: Victory on Oct. 30) Agape Christian 0-2 (left to play: Foundation on Oct. 29) THE BUZZ: Victory defeated Agape before taking on the Lions, meaning the Storm will close its district slate with a game against Cornerstone. The winner of that game will have two district wins, tying Foundation, but the Lions already own the tie-breakers after defeating both teams — therefore clinching the district with their win on Oct. 16. Foundation will be favored against Agape, though, and head coach Brad Lord indicated his desire to go a perfect 3-0 in district play.

CLASS 8A, DISTRICT 4

West Orange 2-0 (left to play: Wekiva on Oct. 30) Apopka 1-1 (left to play: Evans on Oct. 30) Wekiva 1-1 (left to play: West Orange on Oct. 30) Evans 0-2 (left to play: Apopka on Oct. 30) THE BUZZ: This district will go one of two ways, and which of those comes to fruition depends entirely on the result of the game between the Warriors and Mustangs Oct. 30. If West Orange wins, it wins the district, and Apopka, which is a nearlock to defeat Evans, will be runner-up. If the Warriors lose, though, the district will have three teams at 2-1 — with West Orange having beat Apopka, Apopka having beat Wekiva and Wekiva having beat West Orange. In other words, chaos.

CLASS 7A, DISTRICT 4

Edgewater 4-0 (left to play: East Ridge on Oct. 22; Hagerty on Oct. 30) Hagerty 3-1 (left to play: Lake Howell on Oct. 23; Edgewater on Oct. 30) Ocoee 3-2 (left to play: Lake Minneola on Oct. 30) Lake Minneola 2-2 (left to play: West Port on Oct. 22; Ocoee on Oct. 30) East Ridge 2-2 (left to play: Edgewater on Oct. 22; Lake Howell on Oct. 30) West Port 1-4 (left to play: Lake Minneola on Oct. 22) Lake Howell 0-4 (left to play: Hagerty on Oct. 23; East Ridge on Oct. 30) THE BUZZ: Because Edgewater and Hagerty each defeated Ocoee and therefore hold tiebreakers over the Knights, there is only one scenario where Ocoee sneaks in the playoffs — Hagerty cannot get to four wins. If the Knights win against Lake Minneola and the Huskies lose to both Lake Howell, which is winless in the district, and Edgewater, Ocoee would earn the runner-up spot and a playoff berth.

As determined by the SSAC’s tiebreaker methods, wherein the combined point difference for the games played between the teams tied for the second place serves as one option, Orangewood got the nod to play in the SSAC Playoffs. As a result, Legacy will in seeded games at Windermere Prep in Week 10 and at home against Keswick Christian for Week 11.

A first for Foundation The Lions’ overtime victory over Victory Christian on Oct. 16 clinched the Class 2A, District 4 crown, meaning Foundation will host a playoff game for the first time. STEVEN RYZEWSKI SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR WINTER GARDEN The game had

ended, and his shoulder pads were off — but Gabe Walker still walked around with a ball clenched tightly in his hands. And why wouldn’t he? Moments earlier, Walker had carried that same ball across the goal line into the west end zone at Walker Field. The touchdown run ended overtime — and the game — giving the Foundation Academy Lions a 34-28 victory over Victory Christian Oct. 16. It also clinched the program’s first district championship. The Lions started playing football in 2006, and current head coach Brad Lord took over in 2008. After finishing as runner-up and advancing to the Class 2A State Playoffs for road games in the past, Foundation (4-4, 2-0 in Class 2A, District 4) now can look forward to hosting a playoff game for the first time. “We’ve been second three times and the kids are tired of being second,” a jubilant Lord said afterward. The night was particularly special for Walker. The Storm scored 21 unanswered points in the second half — swinging what had been a 21-7 score in favor of the Lions to 28-21 in favor of Victory with just 3:20 to play. Foundation drove down the field and scored with just

Gabe Walker is congratulated by teammates after scoring the gamewinning touchdown for the Lions against Victory Christian.

30 seconds remaining to tie the game — on a run by Walker — and then, after its defense got a stop to start overtime, his number was called one more time. “I just let my team know to stay focused — (that) the game’s not over,” Walker said, recalling when Victory had gone ahead in the game’s waning moments of regulation. “I was pretty confident in myself. I work hard all offseason. I know I’m capable of making the plays. “(Scoring the winning touchdown) was exciting,” he said. “Watching everybody jump up and down, and all my players on the field running toward me. The crowd was going crazy.” Although Walker scored the tying and winning touchdowns, though, it really was an

entire team effort for the Lions to survive the fierce rally from the Storm. The defense allowed only two scoring drives — two of Victory’s scores came on special teams and defense — and one of those began deep in Foundation territory after a punt touched a Lion and was recovered by the Storm. Lord gave a passionate postgame speech and praised his team’s heart. “A lot of crap went bad in that game — and you kept coming back,” Lord said. “We’re going to hang a banner — the first district championship in school history. I can’t be prouder as a coach.” And as for Walker, he had no trouble identifying where this game places in his career on the gridiron — smiling and saying “It’s No. 1.”

Four-Minute Workout Twice as nice

CORY WARREN

Here in Central Florida, the cooler months are upon us. If you are anything like me, training or running a triathlon in the cold weather is not really something that sounds like fun. So what do you do if you want to maintain your excellent fitness you acquired over the summer? I am a busy parent, and I love finding workouts that enable me to gain a lot from a minimum amount of work. Allow me to introduce you to Tabata-style workouts. You can perform these routines at home or whenever you want. They will work both your anaerobic fitness and will allow you to accomplish what you need to do in exactly four minutes. Yes, you read correctly — a four-minute workout. Let me explain: Tabata workouts consist of 20 seconds of high-intensity interval training (often referred to as H.I.I.T.) followed immediately by 10 seconds of rest. Eight of these sets result in a four-minute workout that will have you

gasping for air and collapsing on the floor by the time you are done. You can do any type of exercise during a Tabata, but there are some great videos on YouTube. My favorite Tabatas involve multiple movements at the same time. My four favorite exercises are sit-ups, pushups, jump squats and high-knee jumps. If you are training or trying to maintain fitness for a sprint race or triathlon, these workouts are great, because they are purely anaerobic and will help you simulate how you will during your race. In addition, you will work your type 2b muscle fibers, which are your fast-twitch muscle fibers that enable you push your intensity. For recovery, be sure to have a protein smoothie within 20 minutes after your workout (plant-based protein is my favorite) and take it easy for a day or two if you are not used to them. Four minutes of all-out, 100% effort really can take a toll on you if you are not ready for it. Visit my YouTube page for a quick Tabata for busy parents at youtube.com/ realirondad. Cory is a husband, father of three, vegan triathlete and Ironman. His blog, Real IronDAD, is a lifestyle blog about food, family and fun that helps passionate people, mostly parents, who have over-scheduled, busy lives maintain a balance of plant-based nutrition, fitness, and overall wellness.

he understands how to read the defense. He’s very, very used to what we try to do. They both bring totally different things to the table.” And so during Legacy’s fall camp, it went from Gehrig versus Hilton to Gehrig and Hilton. With Lamprecht’s ability to throw the ball and Chambless’ bruising style of running it, Wiggers saw no reason to limit himself by choosing one over the other. With a 5-2 record to their credit, the decision seems to have paid off for the Eagles. Lamprecht has thrown for more than 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns, while Chambless has run for 700 yards and seven touchdowns. Accordingly, the success of the dual approach Legacy has used all season is no secret around the Sunshine State Athletic Conference. “(We were playing) an away game, and the announcer said, ‘All right, so now the Legacy running quarterback is coming into the game,’ and they were talking about Gehrig,” Wiggers recalled. “Everybody knows what we’re trying to do.”

FAST FRIENDS

Just as things could have been different for Wiggers, things could have gone much differently for the two boys. Although the two attend the same church, Mosaic in Oakland, and are even in the same youth group, they did not know each other well before Chambless joined the team. The competition for reps could have led to a rivalry, but instead, Wiggers recalls observing the two boys walking into practice together during the Eagles’ preseason camp and chatting it up. “I asked them what they were up to, and Gehrig had already gone to the Lamprecht house, and they were out on the lake all day,” Wiggers said. “Those two boys are so similar in so many ways. They’re both ultra-competitors, and they’re both nice kids who are academics-first, 4.0-type students. They’d both been raised in a way that they’re very respectful.” Since then, the two have emerged as leaders, thanks to their play on the field, and more importantly, they continue to enjoy one another’s company. “We’ve really enjoyed getting

to know each other at church and in football,” Chambless said. At 5-2, Legacy finished tied with CFCA and Orangewood Christian for second place in the SSAC’s Coastal Orange division. The tiebreaker format favored Orangewood, meaning the Eagles will have to wait a year for another shot at the SSAC Playoffs. Still, for the two quarterbacks who have one more year to compete with and for one another, the season has undoubtedly been a success. “It’s really just a good friendship,” Lamprecht said. “I’m blessed to have a friendship with him and not an enemy.” Contact Steven Ryzewski at sryzewski@wotimes.com.
