Their first stop was San Antonio, Texas, where they were married in 1966, and then on to the Grand Canyon, Los Angeles, Monterey, Yosemite, San Francisco, Crater Lake, Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore and many other spots.

Reading Reindeer trots into West Orange County The Reading Reindeer is collecting children’s books for its 19th year in West Orange County. AMY QUESINBERRY RHODE COMMUNITY EDITOR WEST ORANGE Do you remember
your favorite book as a child? Do you remember a loved one reading it to you night after night? There are children in West Orange County who don’t have books to escape into or haven’t had the opportunity to experience the thrill of opening a brand-new book. The Observer Media Group’s Reading Reindeer is ready once again to do its part in collecting new books to be given to needy children at Christmastime. The Observer is partnering with Healthy West Orange to help reach its goal of 5,000 books. New books for children from infancy through middle school are being accepted for this annual literacy project. Last year, Reading Reindeer distributed more than 5,000 books. They are distributed to 16 organizations: Edgewood Children’s Ranch, Maxey Community Center, Winter Garden Children’s Health Center, Migrant Early Education Program of Orange County Public Schools, Matthew’s Hope, West Orange Neighborhood Center for Families, Play and Learn Day School, Resurrection Catholic Church, St. Jude
Catholic Church, Head Start and prekindergarten program at Maxey Elementary School, Center for Drug-Free Living, Docs for Tots at Health Central, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Winter Garden and the Ocoee and Winter Garden police departments’ toy giveaway programs, as well as the children served by the West Orange Christian Service Center. This year, the Observer also is partnering with Winter Garden Village to host the Reindeer Run 5K at 7 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 10, at the village. Race-day registration and packet pick-up begins at 6 a.m. Runners and walkers who register by Nov. 28 pay $25 and are guaranteed a race T-shirt. The cost is $30 after that date.

Giving kids a
VOICE
IF YOU GO
The second annual Orlando Walk for Apraxia is taking over Dr. P. Phillips Community Park Saturday to raise awareness for Childhood Apraxia of Speech. DANIELLE HENDRIX STAFF WRITER DR. PHILLIPS Speech and the abil-
ity to express ourselves through it is something we often take for granted, but about one in 1,000 children suffers from a disorder that hinders it. Childhood Apraxia of Speech is a neurological speech disorder that affects a child’s ability to clearly and correctly produce syllables and words. It’s not well-known and not as heavily researched as other disorders and illnesses. Cue the Childhood Apraxia of Speech Association of North America and the Orlando Walk for Apraxia. CASANA offers resources and promotes awareness through walks held all over the country. This year will mark the second annual Walk for Apraxia in Orlando, which will be held Saturday, Nov. 19, at Dr. P. Phillips Community Park. It is organized

by local walk coordinator Heather Chenel, whose daughter, Emily, has apraxia of speech. “I am coordinating the walk for my daughter, Emily, and the other children with apraxia of speech to give them an opportunity to be recognized for all the hard work they do to gain their voice,” Chenel said. For Winter Garden resident and speech pathologist Kara Cannon, the walk is a way to show her 4-year-old son, Dylan — who has apraxia of speech — that he has a community rallying around him. Cannon remembers Dylan’s birth and how the nurses talked about what a beautiful baby he was and how his Apgar scores were high. Throughout his first year of life, everything seemed
R E S O R T - S T Y L E
normal. Dylan said his first word, “dada,” at 14 months. Although it was slightly delayed, he showed no other problematic signs. “Around 18 months, he didn’t even have 15 words in his vocabulary,” Cannon said. “He was also signing (American Sign Language), and he understood everything we were saying. If he couldn’t say a word, he could sign it. I was suspicious but not really worried, but when he was 2, there still wasn’t that language explosion, and it never came.” After multiple evaluations, Dylan was officially diagnosed with CAS in October 2014. Difficulty with speech is only one symptom of CAS. Dylan receives speech therapy to help him make sounds and patterns,
S E N I O R
but also he has language therapy to add new vocabulary and grammar, as well as occupational therapy. The Cannons attended the Tampa Bay Walk for Apraxia the last two years. They moved to Winter Garden in July and are looking forward to attending the Orlando walk on Saturday. “One of the things we’re hoping for Dylan and other kids who struggle with apraxia is that they’re going to be stronger as a result of this and develop grit,” Cannon said. “ If they can break these barriers, they can work hard to overcome other things. That’s what we’re looking forward to for him — to have hope.” Contact Danielle Hendrix at dhendrix@orangeobserver.com.
ORLANDO WALK FOR APRAXIA WHEN: Saturday, Nov. 19. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m.; walk begins at 9:30 a.m. WHERE: Dr. P. Phillips Community Park, 8249 Buenavista Woods Blvd., Orlando For questions about registration, donating or getting involved, contact local walk coordinator Heather Chenel at flhlc07@yahoo. com.

Each year for Thanksgiving, Bread of Life Fellowship gives the community a chance to get involved and do its part in helping end hunger. BLF partners with Publix Super Markets and local families and community groups to run its annual Food for Families event. This year, Food for Families will provide more than 1,200 families with food for Thanksgiving. BLF has two opportunities for those who want to assist them in packing more than 2,000 boxes of food. On Wednesday, Nov. 23, volunteers will meet at Ocoee High School cafeteria, unload the food from Publix and school food drives, sort it all and pack it into boxes. The first shift begins at 7 p.m., and the second shift — when bread arrives — begins at 10 p.m. Volunteers are also encouraged to bring in canned goods to help fill the boxes.
On Thanksgiving day, Thursday, Nov. 24, volunteer drivers will line up in the Ocoee High bus loop to get maps, directions and boxes of food to be delivered to each family’s home. This begins at 8 a.m. and ends when every box is delivered. Volunteers do not have to register to help out and are encouraged to show up as they are. For more information on Food for Families, call (407) 654-7777, email office@ breadoflifefellowship.com or visit breadoflifefellowship.com. WINTER GARDEN FOOD BASKET DRIVE
Each year, the city of Winter Garden sponsors a Thanksgiving food basket drive for the Christian Service Center in Ocoee. Members of the community interested in participating are asked to put together baskets filled with all of the ingredients necessary for a traditional Thanksgiving feast. Required food items for each basket are: two types of canned vegetables; white or sweet potatoes; stuffing mix; bread, rolls or roll mix; cranberry sauce; a dessert; and either a turkey or $10 gift card to Publix or Winn-Dixie for the family to buy a turkey. Optional items include apples, brown sugar, canned pumpkin, coffee, sugar, evaporated milk, flour, pie crust and onions. Cntact the Christian Service Center if you are interested in doing a basket for a specific family demographic. All baskets must be dropped off to the CSC — located at 300 W.

Orlando Ballet to stage classic tale
WINDERMERE OBSERVER
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9
After performing the show at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Broad said the Garden Theatre also gives the Orlando Ballet performers a different kind of experience. “We’re very excited,” said Broad, who will be filling the role of Gaston at the show. “We love Winter Garden. It’s a small, intimate space and brings a whole different reaction and energy to the performers.” When Broad took the challenge of writing and choreographing his own ballet several years ago, he decided to try his hand with “Beauty and the Beast.” “Of course I watched the film growing up, and Disney wrote it perfectly,” Broad said. “There’s a cherished, beloved feeling people have toward it, so it was important to include those morals and charitable moments with the characters.” Before writing his ballet, Broad studied the Disney film, the old Brothers Grimm tale, a French version of the story and even a Japanese rendition. “I decided it was OK to go dark and mix it with the happy and light,” Broad said about his version of the tale. “That’s what makes it this great show.” When composing the ballet’s music, Broad took a different tactic. He would watch the Disney film on mute and create melodies and harmonies to accompany the character’s movements.
The key to writing the ballet, Broad said, was getting everything to blend. Broad’s version of “Beauty and the Beast” includes all the familiar characters — Belle, Gaston, Lumière, Cogsworth and the Beast — plus a few new faces, including Belle’s sister and two jester-like characters at the castle. The role of Belle was given to Kate Robichaux, who said that getting to dance as Belle was a dream come true. “It’s every little girl’s dream to be a Disney princess,” she said. “And I love Belle’s story. She doesn’t really fit in, but she has a good head on her shoulders and such a good heart.” Robichaux said going from the large stage at the Dr. Phillips Center to the smaller one at the Garden Theatre can be challenging for the dancers. “You have to keep dancing as big as it looked on that big stage,” she said. “You have to maintain the energy.” This weekend’s show is not the full, two-act show that Broad originally wrote. Instead, he adapted it to create a shorter, hourlong show which will work better in the Garden Theatre, he said. One of his favorite moments in the show is the moment that the Beast catches Belle looking at his rose. “It’s the part where everything culminates,” Broad said. “There’s all this emotion he’s been feeling and her confusion. It’s his tension, and you feel bad for both of them.”
IF YOU GO “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST” WHEN: 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, and Sunday, Nov. 20 WHERE: Garden Theatre, 160 W. Plant St., Winter Garden. Prior to both shows, several of the cast members will be available for a meet-and-greet session. TICKETS: $28 for adults and $24 for students and seniors.

community and be a good neighbor,” said Aaron Brothers, store manager. “We are excited to open and be a part of the Winter Garden community just in time for the holidays.” Brothers has been with the company for 18 years, having started as a part-time associate and worked his way up the chain. He most recently managed two stores in Texas before moving to the Winter Garden area four months ago to open and manage the Winter Garden store. “I like all the benefits Walmart has to offer, and there’s never a dull moment,” he said. “Working with people and the things that Walmart has to offer when taking care of our customers and associates is something that makes me feel like this is the place for me, and this is where I want to be.” The new store has some unique community charm, having incorporated bits of the surrounding area in the design process. There are windows above the front doors filled with designs and lights that go hand-in-hand with the theme of the Hamlin community, and skylights freckle the ceiling to let natural light in. “The theme of the building is catered to the Hamlin community, so we’ve really made it more a community type of store so customers in this area see the same type of look as what their homes look like,” Brothers said. “We’re also proud of adding a new fill (gas) station, I think the closest fill station to us is about two-and-a-half miles. It helps us out with keeping customers in this community, they don’t have to go so far.” More self-checkout lanes have been added and equipped with Walmart Pay, which works with a downloadable smartphone app.

The new Horizon West Walmart Supercenter is the third Store Manager Aaron Brothers has managed.
It has all the works of the typical Walmart Supercenter — a pharmacy, auto center, vision center and garden center — but the pick-up area has been relocated to the front of the store, next to the customer-service desk. And rather than a Subway or McDonald’s within, Dunkin’ Donuts is the retailer. In the produce area, there is a range of locally grown products, and the supercenter also has a range of gluten-free and organic foods. Brothers’ team currently consists of about 250 associates, but he is looking to hire up to 50 more. With the store opening right around the height of the holiday season, Brothers said his priority is ensuring that his team is stocked and ready to serve holiday shoppers. However, being the go-to, one-stop shop is something he’s looking forward to offering the community year-round. “Right now, we really want to make sure we’re catering to the Thanksgiving season, so we want

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

John David Haywood and Laurie Chmielewski were all smiles at the Special Olympics Florida 2016 State Fall Classic this past weekend at Disney’s Wide World of Sports.
ohn David Haywood lives a pretty active life. The Dr. Phillips resident is known to enjoy a 10-mile bike ride on occasion and tries to hit the pool at least once a week for a swim: he’s even done the famous “Lucky’s Lake Swim” in Orlando three times. And although he enjoys his individual sports plenty, John David really enjoys participating in team sports such as basketball and flag football through Special Olympics. At age 33, John David has been participating in Special Olympics for more than 25 years — including all 20 years since his family relocated to the Dr. Phillips area from western New York. So, despite his disability, John David is as much a “weekend warrior” as anyone else. “He’s hugely active,” said his mother, Sarah Haywood, speaking on his behalf because John David is hearing-impaired and non-verbal. “(Special Olympics) has just been awesome for him. It keeps him active and it keeps him involved.” Laurie Chmielewski, training director for Special Olympics in Orange County, has had the pleasure of getting to know John David over the years and says he has blossomed through the program’s various offerings. “His body language tells you a lot — he loves people and he loves to play sports,” Chmielewski said. “He’s really athletic.” Through the years, John David has been an involved young man. In high school, he became the team manager for the Panthers varsity boys basketball team, first under then-coach Theo McWhite and also under current coach Anthony Long.

Aalyiah Bates At long last, Dr. Phillips senior Aalyiah Bates is on the field for the Panthers — something she has celebrated by scoring nine goals in a stretch of three games. After starting her career at Olympia as a freshman and sophomore, Bates missed her first season at Dr. Phillips because of an injury. Back on the field as a senior, the talented forward scored three goals against Oak Ridge Nov. 4, two goals against The Master’s Academy Nov. 7 and added a career-high four goals against Evans Nov. 10.
Scoring nine goals in three games is no small feat. How do you feel about the way you began the season? I’m excited. I feel like this is my last year, so I want to go out strong.

What’s it been like coming back from an injury? I feel like an injury either makes you or breaks you. I’ve had to put in work and had to improve myself. I feel like you work twice as hard, and you want to be known. What’s it like when you’re teammates with girls for club season and opponents for varsity? I feel like it’s a friendly rivalry. When we’re on the field, we’re not too much of friends, but after, we get to talk about the game and mess around.
year on the swim team. John David has worked as a dishwasher at Disney for more than 11 years, a job he performs three to four days per week. But what he looks forward to most is his time on teams through Special Olympics. In 2010, he went to a national competition in Nebraska — a highlight of his athletic career. Most recently, as a member of the Central Florida Predators Unified Flag Football team, John David helped the team earn a bronze medal at the Special Olympics Florida 2016 State Fall Classic this past weekend at Disney’s Wide World of Sports. The Unified concept pairs traditional Special Olympics competitors, or “athletes,” with volunteer peer teammates, or “partners.” Within the five-on-five flag football games, each team will have three athletes and two partners on the field at all times. There are rules to keep the partners from dominating the game — they are not allowed to pass to one another, for instance — but otherwise, the only way to tell them apart is by the numbers on their jerseys. Athletes wear even numbers, while partners wear odd numbers. The end product is that traditional Special Olympics athletes, many of whom would normally not have the opportunity to play team sports with peers without disabilities, get to do so. In turn, the peer volun-
teers get to interact and befriend athletes they normally might not do so with. That result can be a learning experience for all involved. “They are coached like the athletes,” Chmielewski said. “We play as a team, and they compliment each other.” John David’s favorite sport is football, and so the emergence of the Unified initiative has been a valuable tool for him to not only keep active, but to make some new friends. “They are very inclusive and very helpful,” Sarah Haywood said. “(The partners) make our athletes rise up.” The program is successful across several age groups — from adults, where John David plays, to school-age, where there are two teams locally at Lakeview Middle School. “The unified theme is that we live unified, so we play unified,” said Lakeview Middle teacher Tyrone Adams. “They’re helping one another and they’re talking to one another — it’s a win-win, man.” For the Haywood family, in particular, Special Olympics has been a big plus for John David and a big help to his family — something they do not take lightly. “This whole organization has been huge,” Sarah Haywood said. “So we take the time and effort to support them. We always try to give back to them because they have given him so much — lots of relationships, lots of opportunities.”

early in the second quarter with 39 unanswered points to coast to a victory — and the second round of the playoffs. “We had a really, really great week of practice,” head coach Rodney Wells said. “The first half didn’t show that — we left a couple drives on the field in the first half. In the second half, we got the ball back and ran right at them like we planned on doing, and it worked.” The Panthers had just nine points at halftime, courtesy of a touchdown pass from Marvin Washington to Davarius Bargnare and a field goal by Sterling Stockwell. In the second half, though, Dr. Phillips’ running game came alive, starting with a touchdown
run from Kenny Palmer, and the rout was on. Of course, even with the Panthers putting up big numbers, it was the defense that kept a high-flying Manatee offense led by standout quarterback A.J. Colagiovanni at bay. “(Manatee is) one of the most explosive teams that we’ll see all year,” Wells said. “Our defense was focused, and we were in position. … The defense played on fire like they practiced.” Dr. Phillips now will prepare to travel to Sarasota this Friday, Nov. 18, for the regional semifinals. There, the Panthers will take on Riverview (9-2), which rolled past visiting Olympia last week.
