LIGHTING THE

WAY TO CHANGE

In the wake of Johnny Riley’s fatal car accident on Roberson Road in February, his family is petitioning for streetlights to be installed to ensure safety.

Father, daughter injured in Windermere plane crash Orange County Sheriff's Office and Orange County Fire Rescue responded to reports of a small plane that crashed into Lake Down July 8.

he myriad comments on a petition to bring better lighting to Roberson Road have two threads in common: Sympathy and a desire to bring about change. “I’m signing because (Johnny) was a dear friend of mine and hopefully the lights will represent his bright smile looking down after those and myself who travel on this road daily,” one person commented. It’s been five months since a car accident on the stretch of road claimed the life of 18-yearold Jonathan “Johnny” Riley, a 2015 West Orange High graduate and Tallahassee Community College student. Johnny was driving eastbound along Roberson Road around 3 a.m. Feb. 8 when he lost control of his car, striking a power pole and then a tree before flipping over. Three months after Johnny’s accident, there was another eastbound crash — directly across the road from the site of Johnny’s accident. It wasn’t fatal, but it made the Riley family determined to bring about change to prevent future tragedies. “The community stepped up big time for us and after this second accident we said, ‘enough,’” said Steve Riley, Johnny’s father. “For two accidents to occur with young people under 20, within three months of each other, is pretty dangerous. There are no lights and no sense of speed, so if you take your eyes off the road for a second you’re into a drainage ditch. It’s a small, narrow road with a lot of obstacles that can help you deviate.” The Rileys began by calling the city of Ocoee to determine where to start the process of getting better lighting along the road installed. Nancy Riley, Johnny’s mother, started a paper petition and went around the neighborhood with her youngest son for a day gathering signatures. “After a day in the heat going around the neighborhood with a paper petition, we came up with change.org version,” Nancy said. “Once I set it up I sent it to my friends and they signed and sent it to their friends, and it just continued.” With the help of her friend, Fran Cummings, she set up social-media sites and continued to spread the word. Within 48 hours, the petition had garnered more than 500 signatures. In the 10 days since it was created, it had more than 1,000 at press time. The largest obstacle has been determining which jurisdiction the road falls under. Roberson Road falls under three jurisdictions: Windermere, Ocoee and Orange County. The county said it is respon-

WINDERMERE Two people were injured Friday, July 8, when their small plane crashed into Lake Down in Windermere, according to Orange County Sheriff's Office. Orange County Fire Rescue responded to the call around 6:15 p.m. and were able to remove the individuals — a 9-year-old girl and her father — from the plane. OCFR tweeted initially that both individuals were trauma alerts. The child was transported to Arnold Palmer Hospital and the man to Orlando Regional Medical Center. The airplane was a singleengine aircraft. The Federal Aviation Association said the plane took off from Orlando Executive Airport, before the pilot radioed that he was having engine problems. Two men — Austin Keaton and Joao Pacheco — were fishing in the lake, saw the plane crash into it and brought the father and daughter to shore in their boat, according to a release from OCSO. The 9-year-old had a nonlife-threatening injury and the father did not sustain any visible injuries, according to the release. Neither has been identified. The pair remains hospitalized, but no further updates on their conditions were released at press time. Officials removed the plane from Lake Down Monday, July 11.

sible for Roberson Road as it spans from Windermere Road to Wesmere Parkway, while Ocoee is responsible for it from Wesmere Parkway to Maguire Road. Windermere’s jurisdiction then borders the north side of Roberson. Moving forward, lighting installation will depend on straightening out who is responsible for the project and planning it from there.

“The officials have been cooperative, it’s just difficult to get the right information for what we need to do to get to the next step — it’s just getting there,” Cummings said. “People from all over Orange County, even people from Lake County who travel this road, say that it needs to be done. If something good could come out of such a tragedy, it would be nice.” They are in the process of gathering the paperwork and the petition and hope to put themselves on the docket to speak at the July 19 Ocoee commission meeting. “The comments (community members) posted were incredible from day one,” Nancy said. “The community has been so supportive and amazing to us and to Johnny.” Contact Danielle Hendrix at dhendrix@orangeobserver.com.

“The community stepped up big time for us and after this second accident we said, ‘enough,’” – Steve Riley, Johnny Riley’s father

Austin Keaton and Joao Pacheco, the fishermen who used their boat to bring the father and daughter to safety, were honored Tuesday, July 12, at the Windermere Town Council meeting for their heroic actions. Family members of all parties were in attendance and got to meet and share their thoughts for the first time since the incident. “This has been a very difficult month for America and Central Florida … from the Pulse tragedy to the loss of the Dallas police officers,” said Windermere Mayor Gary Bruhn. “And after learning of a plane crash in one of our lakes, this could have easily been another tragedy in the long list this month. Thanks to these young men, a family still has a daughter and a father. Windermere is proud of them!”

PHILLIPS FROM PAGE 1

southwest sector into three portions — north, central and south Dr. Phillips — Vargas highlighted 17 projects, 11 of which are located in south Dr. Phillips. North Dr. Phillips has two residential projects planned, as well as 31,500 square feet of retail, restaurant and office space at The Grove at Isleworth. Central Dr. Phillips has three residential projects in the works. The majority of the development is planned for south Dr. Phillips. Among the projects in discussion are multiple subdivisions, a 10,000-square-foot preschool, a new relief high school for Dr. Phillips and Freedom high schools and hotel-room expansions. Vargas told the community that much of the development and growth in south Dr. Phillips is due to the current availability of undeveloped property.

ROADWAY PROJECTS

Renzo Nastasi of the Orange County Transportation Planning Division presented updates on current and future roadway projects that will affect Dr. Phillips. One of the highlights was a planned extension of Daryl Carter Parkway and an improved Interstate 4 interchange within the next five to seven years. Additionally, a study on Sand Lake Road began in May and is expected to be completed by May 2017. Under consideration is an Apopka-Vineland Road to Turkey Lake Road extension, but since this is an operational study, it might not consist of traditional road widening. Orange County District 1 Commissioner S. Scott Boyd added that a median tree-planting program will begin in late August to early September of this year. It will start at Sand Lake Road, along Apopka-Vineland Road to the south. SCHOOLS

Orange County Public Schools District 4 School Board Member Pam Gould presented an update on schools to come near the southwest portion of Orange County in the coming years. Over a span of the next six years, there are three planned new schools that Gould touched on: a relief school for Bridgewater Middle, expected by 2019; a relief elementary school near the new Bay Lake Elementary, expected by 2019; and a relief school to aid both Dr. Phillips and Freedom high schools, expected by 2022. Additionally, comprehensive improvement for Southwest Middle is expected to come about by 2020. Gould announced a community meeting for the Dr. Phillips/ Freedom relief high school, set for Wednesday, July 27, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Dr. Phillips High. PARKS AND RECREATION

Matt Suedmeyer of the Orange County Parks and Recreation Division announced that the Dr. Phillips Foundation is donating property adjacent to the Dr. Phillips Community Park. This property will be used to add up to three baseball fields. Dr. Phillips Little League will relocate to the park and use these fields for its games and practices.

lex Aken’s love for his sister led him to Washington, D.C., for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Annual Teen Advocacy Day. Alex Aken, a rising senior at Olympia High School, grew up close to his sister Ashley Aken, a rising sophomore at the University of Central Florida. Ashley Aken was born with cystic fibrosis, a disease that affects the lungs and the digestive system, limiting one’s ability to breathe. “My sister, she’s absolutely amazing because she doesn’t use her disease as a crutch, as an excuse for her to not do certain things, but rather, she’s someone who tries to overcome that and put that aside,” Alex Aken said. “But as a brother, I can sometimes see past that and see the struggle that she’s going through.” On June 23, Alex Aken headed the to the U.S. Capitol building with other teenagers who wished to advocate on behalf of cystic fibrosis patients. He was paired with a teenager from Naples, and together they met with five legislative assistants of members of Congress. They shared their personal stories of seeing loved ones with cystic fibrosis. They sought to bring awareness of cystic fibrosis to the national level. Next, they asked Congress members to join the Cystic Fibrosis Caucus, which works to raise awareness about the disease as well as support research and policies that will help people with cystic fibrosis. Finally, they asked for funding for the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration, because those organizations work closely with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and perform crucial roles in getting medications passed for people with cystic fibrosis. “I think the biggest thing for me was being a teenager — or honestly just a citizen who’s not involved with the government — you would expect going in there that they got a thousand other things on their minds, but when you sat down with each Congress member, they actually listened to us,” Alex Aken said. “And when we told our personal testimonies of how we are involved with cystic fibrosis and how it affects our lives and the people that we love, they actually listened and wanted to know how they could help. That’s just really great to know that the people who are leading our country really do care about the people that they’re leading.” Ultimately, Alex Aken wants

people to become more aware of the disease so that better medications can be found. More than 30,000 people in the U.S. live with cystic fibrosis. That number is high, but cystic fibrosis often doesn’t get the attention and care for research that more common diseases receive. But Alex Aken has seen firsthand how the disease can affect someone. Both Alex and Ashley Aken are passionate about the game of lacrosse. Since elementary school, the two would go outside and play lacrosse together. If Ashley ever ran hard for several seconds, she would have a coughing attack and need to go inside to catch her breath. There were days when she couldn’t go to school because of difficulties breathing. Alex Aken also remembers seeing her, as captain of the varsity girls lacrosse team at Olympia High, curled up in a blanket on the sideline, trying to catch her breath, rather than being out on the field playing the game she loved. Every day, she has to take multiple medications and use a breathing machine. But ultimately, Alex Aken has a positive outlook on the future of care for cystic fibrosis patients. “In 1955 when the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was started, they started with nothing,” Alex Aken said. “There were no treatments; there wasn’t any medicine. All (of a) sudden we come to today, where there isn’t necessarily a cure … but there are new treatments.” After 60 years, cystic fibrosis patients and their families now have hope.

An Orlando Health hospital will open in Horizon West in early 2018.

Health Central Hospital expansion set to open Orlando Health is poised to open an expansion of Health Central Hospital and recently announced plans for a Horizon West hospital, skilled-nursing facility and expanded cancer center. JENNIFER NESSLAR STAFF WRITER

rlando Health is set to open an expansion of the Health Central Hospital, which will create more space and better conditions for patients at the hospital. Currently, the ER holds 42 emergency beds in semi-private spaces, separated by curtains. Patients and nursing staff are located in separate hallways, leaving patients out of the line of sight of their caregivers. “It’s just not a well-designed place for the patient needs of 2016, or probably anytime, for that matter,” Eric Wiepert, doctor of emergency medicine at Health Central Hospital, told reporters about the current hospital space. This is all about to change with the expansion of the hospital, which will add an expanded emergency department and patient bed tower. The expansion is scheduled to open Wednesday, July 13, after press time. The expansion will increase the size of the emergency department, jumping from 15,000 to 52,000 square feet. The emergency department layout is more open, with the nursing stations being central for the rooms they serve. The emergency department is now estimated to accommodate 90,000 visits per year, enabling the hospital to grow with the area, according to officials. Currently, the department receives less than 60,000 visits per year. In total, Health Central Hospital will have 211 rooms. SKILLED-NURSING FACILITY

In summer 2017, construction will begin on a 100-bed skillednursing facility to help update facilities for Health Central Park, which is currently located in Winter Garden. The nursing facility will be on the campus of Health Central Hospital. The new skilled-nursing facility will have a 40-bed dementia unit, which is currently considered Health Central Park’s “gated community.”

UF HEALTH CANCER CENTER

Additionally, the UF Health Cancer Center will move its office across West Colonial Drive to the Health Central Hospital campus, nearly doubling its size to 30,000 square feet and offering expanded services, with the goal of enabling West Orange residents to receive cancer care in the community. At the new center, Daniel Buchholz, radiation oncology department chairman, plans to have a new technology — a ViewRay unit. Currently, there is only one ViewRay unit in the state of Florida. As patients are treated with radiation, the unit uses magnetic resonance imaging to watch the tumor. “If the patient takes a big, deep breath and the tumor moves a little bit, we’d see it,” Buchholz said. “If the patient wiggles side to side, we’d see it. That’s amazing.” HORIZON WEST HOSPITAL

The Health Central Hospital Expansion is not the only plan Orlando Health has for the West Orange area. A 16-bed hospital is in the pipeline for Horizon West, with construction scheduled to start this November, with completion in February 2018. Phase one of the project includes a two-story, 70,000-square-foot building, the first floor being a 16-bed emergency department and the second floor an outpatient diagnostics department and physician offices. “We have designs for not just being a hospital campus out in Horizon West, we are looking to be a health campus,” said Greg Ohe, senior vice president of ambulatory. “We are looking to partner with folks long term to improve the health and wellness of this community.” Ultimately, the hospital could help bring healthcare jobs to the Horizon West community, officials said. “This is really exciting for me, and I know everyone in the community, because it’s really our first

The Florida Department of Education released July 8 school grades for the 2015-16 school year. The grades reflect preliminary grades for the 2016 school year, which are preliminary because there is a 30-day appeal period. The grades were released in comparison with the 2014-15 school year’s grades. But Orange County Public Schools cautions against making a direct comparison. “Superintendents Barbara Jenkins of Orange County and Walt Griffin of Seminole County encourage parents, students and the community to view the 201516 school grade calculations as our baseline year,” the district said in a news release before the grades were announced. “These school

grades will reflect learning gains made by students which could not be captured from the 201415 FSA as there were no previous, similar tests to use for comparison. It was noted in the release of the first year of FSA-determined school grades that the grades were only partial, so any comparison to this year's grades would be inappropriate.” Comparison from last year to this year shows that many West Orange schools dropped a letter grade, which was not an unexpected result. “It is important for our community, especially our parents and students, to know that learning gains are now more difficult to attain,” Jenkins said in the release. “If we see a decrease in school grades, it will likely be because of the new and complicated learning gains structure.” OCPS said it will continue to advocate for accountability where “schools are not simply labeled with a single letter grade.” Contact Jennifer Nesslar at jnesslar@orangeobserver.com.

Renovations on the way for Dr. P. Phillips YMCA When renovations are complete, the Dr. P. Phillips YMCA will have the largest exercise studio in Central Florida, among other new amenities. JENNIFER NESSLAR STAFF WRITER

The Dr. P Phillips YMCA is set for some major renovations. Approximately 26,000 square feet will be added to the building, and 30,000 existing square feet will be renovated. During renovations, the YMCA remains open. Completion of the new portions of the YMCA is scheduled for the fall. Four exercise rooms will be added to or renovated at the YMCA. One of these rooms, a 4,315-square-foot exercise studio, will be the largest exercise studio in the Orlando area. The studio will be able to hold 125 people at a time and will be able to support programs like Enhanced Fitness, a program for seniors. Other parts of the renovation include a 3,100-square-foot child development center, a new playground, renovated adult locker rooms, two family changing rooms, meeting rooms, outdoor patio, racquetball courts and a 1,400-square-foot addition to the wellness floor. The renovations also contain a new Orlando Health rehab center on site. Orlando Health will move its concierge services to the welcome desk to better assist YMCA members, creating better access to services and physician referrals. The YMCA estimates that renovations will cost between $9 million and $10 million, the funding coming largely in part from contributions from the Dr. Phil-

lips Charities. “Through the continued generosity of the Dr. Phillips Charities and partners like Orlando Health, the expansion of the Y will allow us to service and impact over 30,000 lives — allowing us to get closer to our strategic plan to impact over 100,000 youth, 600,000 Central Floridians and 40,000 volunteers,” said Dan Ickes, COO of the YMCA of Central Florida. AXUM MARKET CAFE

The renovations will also include the addition of the Axum Market Cafe, a partnership with the Winter Garden-based Axum Coffee. The cafe will serve as a place for the YMCA to help educate people about healthy food choices — everything from eating healthy to buying and cooking healthy foods. There, the menu will change seasonally based on locally available ingredients and freshness, often using ingredients from the Winter Garden-based Do Good Farm. Some menu items include salads, wraps, bowls, cold-pressed juices and fresh fruit smoothies. In addition, the cafe and adjoining kitchen will be used periodically for cooking demonstrations and nutrition education seminars. An Axum coffee bar will be included as part of the cafe. The cafe will grind its own grain, in order to make products like muffins and pizza crust as fresh as possible. “Any store-bought flour removes the healthiest parts and

the natural good oils because it gives it a really short shelf life,” said Josh Taylor, general manager of Axum Market Cafe. “And grains are a food product, so when it is fresh, it tastes great.” Taylor is the founder of House Blend Cafe, which recently merged with Axum Coffee after realizing the companies’ missions were similar. Taylor will continue to run House Blend Cafe. Contact Jennifer Nesslar at jnesslar@orangeobserver.com.

f you recently have attended a musical production at West Orange High School, you’ve seen Emma Heistand. During the past school year, Heistand performed as the title character in “Mary Poppins” and then as Cinderella in “Into the Woods” on West Orange’s stage. But at the end of June, Heistand, a rising senior, could be seen performing on Broadway. She was representing the Orlando area at the Jimmy Awards, the national high school musical-theater awards. It was an experience she considered formative for her acting career. “You’re performing in front of judges who are casting agents, casting directors,” she said. “We got to meet Andrew Lloyd Webber, these incredible people in the theater industry that not any normal high schooler and 17-yearold could say that they have.”

MAKING THE CUT

The road to New York started during the school year, when Heistand played the roles of Cinderella and Mary Poppins at West Orange High School. Adjudicators from the Dr. Phillips Center

During her final year of high school, Heistand looks forward to taking what she learned to mentor other drama students at West Orange High School, just as others mentored her through her high-school career.

He initially nurtured musical aspirations in his younger years, but when that didn’t quite pan out, he turned his attention to the culinary arts. After attending Pennsylvania Culinary Institute in Pittsburgh, he returned to Orlando and worked as a chef at the Peabody Hotel. After that he worked under Chef Scott Hunnel at Victoria & Albert’s restaurant, and later worked in Austria for two years. Upon his return, he worked at Victoria & Albert’s again for another two years and at The Ritz-Carlton in Orlando for five years. Freelove is currently remodeling the interior and said he is excited to get the chance to serve his customers his signature American classic cuisine directly. He plans to include shaded outdoor seating and limit the interior to only 60 chairs for the sake of intimacy. Contact Gabby Baquero at gbaquero@orangeobserver.com.

WINTER GARDEN After four years of serving its modern twist on Mediterranean cuisine in the Roper Building behind Axum Coffee on Plant Street in downtown Winter Garden, alFresco restaurant has moved to a new home. alFresco has relocated to where the now-closed Catania restaurant once was. The sudden move was done without much fanfare, but the end result is a pleasant surprise for co-owners Edwin Martinez and Lynn Kasten. “Our lease was up, and so we were debating on what to do,” Kasten said. “We had come over to talk to (Catania owners) about using their kitchen for banquets and renting it out and doing breakfast and things like that, and the opportunity arose, and so we jumped at it.” Despite the abrupt change in location, they’re not worried about losing clientele, as both old and new customers can find them by just walking by. “We were looking in Windermere, and we were looking in Ocoee, so we were looking in different places, and then this just happened to come out of nowhere,” Kasten said. “We were mostly excited about staying in Winter Garden and being on the front side of Plant Street.” Catania restaurant’s sign is still up, but Martinez assured they will change it once they get all the paperwork finalized. Their opening hours will remain the same, however, they will be expanding the back for more seating and adding a breakfast menu in August.

JOSEPH CHARLES HEMBROOKE JR. DIED JULY 6, 2016

Joseph Charles Hembrooke Jr., of Ocoee, Florida, passed away Wednesday, July 6, 2016. He was 81. Joe was born in Brooklyn, New York, on Feb. 3, 1935, to Frances Adelaide (Kelsey) Hembrooke and Joseph Charles Hembrooke. He graduated from Erasmus Hall High School and earned his bachelor’s degree from what is now The College at Brockport, State University of New York, majoring in health and physical education. While teaching near his home on Long Island, New York, he began furthering his education, leading to a degree in educational administration. He served as Principal of Horseheads High School, Horseheads, New York, from 1971 till 1978, when he took a position as Delaware Valley Central School District Superintendent of Schools in Callicoon, New York. He retired from education in 1985. Growing up, Joe and his family spent the summers at the family’s summer home at Lake George and, while at home in Brooklyn, he developed a love for baseball, which evolved into a continuing passion for the New York Mets. Joe had umpired the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania and, since moving to Ocoee, Florida, in 1965, served as an umpire for the local Little Leagues program. In 2015, he was recognized by Ocoee Little League for his years of volunteerism and dedication to the players. Although baseball was in his blood, he was a fan, coach and official of other sports. While at Delaware Valley, he officiated girls’ soccer and was respected and admired as a fair and knowledgeable official who was

received warmly by opposing teams when he was on the field. His love of education was not just about books and learning. It reached far deeper into his love of people — his faculty, staff, students and their families. He was fair in administering, was willing to join in on the fun, but maintained professionalism and respect even when he donned a cheerleading outfit because the girls didn’t have the required coach to maintain the squad, or donned a rabbit costume to promote the school’s production of “Harvey.” His students loved and appreciated him but still knew he was in a position of authority. Joe touched thousands of young lives over the years as principal and administrator, but he also served on the Board of Directors for Outstanding Young Americans, was a state director for America’s National Teenager and Pre-Teen programs; and, in 1981, was instrumental in creating America’s Favorite Pageants, a program where girls could compete based on academics, volunteer service and personality. In 2003, he and his wife founded S.T.A.R.S. of West Orange Inc. (Supplies To Assist ouR Students), a program providing backpacks and basic school supplies to students from economically challenged students in West Orange County, Florida. Joe’s smile and sense of humor were always apparent, whether on the field, in the classroom, public speaking, at church or in the community.

He provided encouragement, guidance and support to those in need and was ready to offer a helping hand. As a member of St. Pauls Presbyterian Church in Ocoee, he served as a deacon and an elder and on various committees, including the Mission Team, where his organizational skills and expertise took him to the Board of Directors of Bread of Life Fellowship Inc., where he served as vice president. In May 2005, he was named Member of the Month by the West Orange Chamber of Commerce and received the West Orange Chamber of Commerce Community Champion Award for community service as a resident of the City of Ocoee that same year. He was an active member of the Chamber’s Education Committee and Events Team and always willing to assist when needed. The Silver Bend Homeowners Association recognized him for his many years of dedicated leadership and service as president, as well as volunteer. In 2013 he was co-recipient of the coveted Disney Mouscar for his years of service providing backpacks and basic school supplies to local students and stimulating increased community awareness for other organizations to organize programs similar to S.T.A.R.S. to assist even more students. He married the late Joan Cummings Oct. 7, 1956, and they had three children, Timothy Scott, Helene Ann and Kathleen Ann. Joe is survived by his wife, Chesta (Filer) Hembrooke; daughters, Helene (Carri Jean) and Kathleen (Jackie Satterly); 10 grandchildren, Erica Hembrooke (Jessica Richards), Kristy Clark, Timothy (Ashlyn) Hembrooke II, Natalie (Tim) Jennings, Andrew (Abbey) Clark, Leslie Hembrooke, Tara

Squeeze eye second, third place out of the break The Winter Garden Squeeze have emerged from the Florida Collegiate Summer League’s annual All-Star Weekend with four more wins than it had in all of 2015 — and second and third place within striking distance. Winter Garden (12-14) returned to action July 11 after the break, which took place July 9, and dropped its first game to the River Rats, 7-1. Despite that, and despite the fact that the Squeeze have lost six of their past 10 games, first-year manager Jay Welsh’s team is just a half-game behind thirdplace Altamonte (12-13) and a game-and-a-half behind second-place DeLand — clubs that are five and six games behind Sanford in the standings, respectively. “I like where we are heading into the stretch run here,” Welsh said. “We’re finally figuring out who’s doing what well.”

The Dr. Phillips Little League 10U Softball team enjoys a victory ice bath after winning sectionals.

Apparently, winning Dr. Phillips Little League’s first softball district title since 2006 wasn’t the only accomplishment the Minors (10U) All-Star team had on its agenda. The girls from Dr. Phillips swept through the competition this past weekend at the Section 5 Tournament, hosted by St. Cloud Little League, earning a berth in this coming weekend’s state tournament in DeLand.

MEET THE TEAM The Dr. Phillips Little League 10U Softball All-Stars include: Julia Benamati, Martrece Boyd, Grace Grant, Angelina LaVerdi, Leona Masangkay, Miranda Murch, Tessa Olofson, Campbell Romero, Kaylee Romese, Annabelle Sharp, Molly Sheridan and Ryen Wood. The team is coached by Jes Willis and assistants Matt Grant and Chad Wood.

Though records for Florida District 14 (in which DPLL competes) go back only to 2004, this is believed to possibly be the first time a softball team from DPLL has advanced to states. For Dr. Phillips, the Section 5 Tournament started off ominously July 8 as the team trailed Apopka 6-2 through two innings of the first game. A weather delay suspended play until the next morning, when DP turned the tables and outscored Apopka SEE STATE PAGE 18

Windermere’s Winning Ways BY THE NUMBERS

Windermere Little League celebrated district championships in 14U and 12U baseball, as well as 12U softball, this past week. STEVEN RYZEWSKI

SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

f the beginning of All-Stars competition for Florida’s District 14 was dominated by Dr. Phillips Little League, which won titles in 10U baseball, 11U baseball and 10U softball — then this past week saw Windermere Little League return the favor. Windermere won district championships in 14U baseball, 12U softball and the highly-coveted 12U baseball tournaments, with its victorious teams going a combined 12-0 in district competition (in the 12U tournament, Windermere fielded two teams, with the other team going 1-3). Windermere’s National 12U team found itself locked in a 2-1 battle with Dr. Phillips through four innings July 7 before the team’s bats — which had scored 45 combined runs in the first four games of the tournament — awoke.

14-0 the rest of the way to win 16-6 in four innings. “The team that showed up Friday night was a completely different team Saturday morning,” manager Jes Willis said. “Saturday morning rolled around and it was the group of girls we knew we had.” After defeating Apopka, Dr. Phillips went on to defeat Union Park 18-1 later that afternoon. That victory set up a winnertakes-all meeting July 10 against host St. Cloud, which also went 2-0 in its first two games. A sixrun second inning proved to be the difference as DP again won in a mercy-rule-shortened contest, 11-0. Starting with the third inning of the game against Apopka, the girls from Dr. Phillips outscored their opponents 43-1 in just 10 innings of play. Now, they will get to play in the state tournament this weekend in DeLand. DP will begin play July 15 at 4 p.m.

The Dr. Phillips 11U All-Star team won the District 14 Tournament recently before advancing to this past weekend’s Section 5 Tournament, which it hosted and placed second in. Helping to lead the way for DP was Logan Wirt. In the district tournament, Wirt hit three of the team’s seven home runs and pitched well in two important games against Winter Garden.

What was that district championship game against Winter Garden like? It was a battle between each team but it feels like we were more prepared.

What is your favorite professional team and who is your favorite professional player? My favorite pro team is the (Los Angeles) Angels and my favorite pro player is Mike Trout.

Against Winter Garden June 27, they intentionally walked you multiple times and your teammate that follows you in the lineup, Zack Miller, made them pay by homering. What was that like? I was very happy because that was his first home run — it was very exciting for the whole team.

What do you want to be when you grow up? A golfer. I play golf a lot.

Who is the smartest person you know? Probably my coach, coach Mike (Roy). He’s been a very good coach to me for two seasons, plus the AllStars. He’s taught me a lot. If you could be any animal, what animal would you be? An eagle — it has sharp claws and can fly.

What is your favorite moment from this past season? I would have to say during the Top Team tournament when I hit two home runs in one game.

WINDERMERE FROM PAGE 17

“This team has got really, really good bats,” said Brian Paulsen, the head coach for Windermere National. “We saw the pitcher for, I think, the third time coming through the lineup at that point and they kind of made the adjustments they needed to make.” Windermere scored a combined 12 runs in the fifth and sixth innings, paving the way to a 14-1 victory. The 12U team includes Jake Salvati, Josh Briggs, Wyatt Archer, James “JJ” Paulsen, Jacob Delano, Ethan Schalte, James Rivera, Will Ross, Jake Crews, Dewon Brazelton, Tracy Mitchem and Tabor Engle. In the 14U tournament, Windermere coach Mark Lewis credited his team’s undefeated run — a run that ended with a 7-1 victory over Winter Garden July 9 — to chemistry. “We have great hitting, we have great pitching — but, as you know, if you don’t have team chemistry, you can’t win anything,” Lewis

What is your least favorite chore around the house? Cleaning the bathroom.

What is your favorite part of baseball: hitting, fielding or pitching? Mainly pitching. I approach pitching like any person would — just try to get the outs. … My favorite pitch to throw is my knuckle-curve.

What are your favorite television shows? Probably MLB Network and HGTV. I like the home renovation shows. — STEVEN RYZEWSKI

What do you love about the game? I’ve been playing baseball since I was four or five. I love just the competition and meeting new people every season.

SouthWest Stars duo tops competition at meet Along the way to finishing atop their age group, SouthWest Stars Ella Klyce and Nicholas “Nico” Cecchi set team and meet records at the Florida International Invitational in Plantation. STEVEN RYZEWSKI SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

Ella Klyce and Nicholas “Nico” Cecchi swam the best meets of their young careers at the Florida International Invitational late last month in Plantation, continuing an upward trend for the SouthWest Stars Swim Club, the competitive swim team for SouthWest Aquatics in Winter Garden. Klyce and Cecchi, both 10, were each recognized as the top swimmer in their age group, each besting more than 20 respective competitors from around the state. Along the way, both youngsters rewrote the record books for the team and the meet — Klyce set a team and meet record in the 100-meter fly (1:14.34) and Cecchi set a team and meet record in the 200-meter IM (2:47.86). In the individual point standings, both Klyce (122 points) and Cecchi (121 points) each nearly doubled the total of the nearest runner-up (65 and 62 points, respectively). “It was really exciting,” said Klyce, who attends SunRidge Elementary. “I didn’t think I would do that well.”

She wasn’t alone in her surprise, either. Though both swimmers were expected to compete for the top spot, the scale at which they were successful was a pleasant surprise for veteran coach and instructor Justin Correia. “They definitely surprised us. They broke a few meet records — and that meet has been around for quite a while now,” Correia said. “We were hoping to go down there and do well and they did exceptionally well.” Both Klyce and Cecchi — who is a student at Montverde Academy and lives in Winter Garden — will now try and translate that success into a strong showing at this weekend’s Florida Age Group Championships in Orlando. Cecchi says he enjoys coming to practice each day and that the staff at SouthWest has been a big help to him. “My coaches have probably been my biggest inspiration to swim,” Cecchi said. The strong showing by the two standouts underscored a team performance that saw the SouthWest Stars Swim Club place second in the elite event. Though the team has had success regionally, Correia says the recent success on a more statewide level has been very encouraging for the program. Additionally, the program just had its first swimmer compete at the United States Olympic Trials, with star swimmer Katie Schorr recording a time of 26.49 in the 100-meter freestyle. Her success has served as an inspiration for the young swimmers — and for the coaches who have worked

with her for so long. “Katie started out with us as a baby,” Correia said. “We’re trying to really move in that direction where we see full development from younger ages all the way up to teenagers to, hopefully, college.” Contact Steven Ryzewski at sryzewski@orangeobserver.com.

Enhancing Health and Wellness in the West Orange Healthcare District

• • • Initiative Grant Round Open • • • June 27 - August 26, 2016 The West Orange Healthcare District (WOHD) would like to announce the upcoming Initiative Grant Round. The application window has been open since June 27, 2016 and will close on August 26, 2016 5:00 pm. Grant award announcements will be made in October 2016. Applications will be accepted from qualifying local non-profits. Only programs that primarily improve, preserve or provide health services to residents of the District can be funded. This notice is being issued to allow qualified potential applicants sufficient time for submission of applications. The WOHD is an independent special healthcare district created by an Act of the 1949 Florida

Legislature and is governed by a 16 member Board appointed by the Governor of Florida. From its beginning, the purpose of the District has been to improve access to quality healthcare services for residents of West Orange County. This has been achieved through investing in new and expanded facilities in partnership with Orlando Health, the largest provider of healthcare services in West Orange County, and awarding over $2 million in initiative grants since 2012 to non-profits in the community supporting programs that align with the District’s mission of enhancing the overall health and wellbeing of the community. Recent recipients benefiting from the support of the District include: UCP, Shepherd’s Hope, Quest, Inc., The Howard Phillips Center, The Roper YMCA, Dave’s House and The Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Thank You West Orange County for a Grand Weekend!

Thank you to over 1,400 residents and dignataries of the West Orange County community who came out this past weekend to Health Central Hospital’s Newly Expanded Emergency Department and New Patient Tower Grand Opening celebration. During a tour of the expanded Emergency Room, visitors experienced a scaled-down “hospital” where children and adults alike got to meet our health care pros and use authentic tools and experience procedures in a fun setting. Attendees were able to use real surgical instruments, interact with Robo Doc, and learn CPR! Other fun activities included a visit with Orlando Health’s Air Care team, Arnold Palmer Hospital and Winnie Palmer Hospital transport teams, climb aboard the City of Ocoee Fire Department’s fire truck and a Rural Metro ambulance. We are happy and proud to expand the healthcare services to meet the healthcare needs of the West Orange County community. For more information about our services, providers, calendar of events and more, please visit OrlandoHealth.com.
