Florida is banking on an underground reservoir for its water, but much is unknown about the Lower Floridan Aquifer

LIVI STANFORD | Staff [email protected]

W ater experts caution that south Lake Coun-ty has just five years or

ORANGE COUNTY

Clermont man seriously injured in car crash

A 45-year-old Clermont man suf-fered serious injuries early Sunday when his vehicle was hit by a driver who crossed over into his lane along the Western Beltway of the Wekiva Parkway in Orange County.

The other driver died, the Florida Highway Patrol reported.

The accident occurred just after midnight as Philip Joeckel III of Clermont was driving north in a 2013 KIA sports utility vehicle. The other driver, a 33-year-old Orlando man who has not been identified pending notification of relatives, was driving south in a 2004 Mazda sedan.

According to the FHP, the Orlando man lost control of his vehicle, crossed the center median and hit Joeckel’s vehicle with its left side. Joeckel, a wedding professional, was admitted in serious condition at Orlando Regional Medical Center.

The other driver was taken to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, where he died of his injuries, the FHP reported.

CLERMONT

Cyclist struck and killed by car on Friday

A Clermont bicyclist died Friday after being rear-ended by another Clermont motorist who blamed the crash on the setting sun, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Larry Brantley, 59, died at Orlando Regional Medical Center.

According to a FHP report, Brantley was riding his bike west on the edge of Oil Well Road near Alligator Road, just before 7:30 p.m. Friday. John Nussbaumer, 45, was driving a 2002 Ford F-150 somewhat behind him.

Nussbaumer told troopers he didn’t see Brantley “due to the glare from the setting sun,” when he struck the bike. Brantley was thrown off the bike as a result of the collision.

The report adds the crash is still under investigation and charges are pending.

LAKE PANASOFFKEE

Lawyer disbarred over trust violations

The Florida Supreme Court has dis-ciplined 29 attorneys, including a Lake Panasoffkee lawyer disbarred be-cause of allegations of trust account violations.

Randall Norman Thornton, 2031 N. County Road 470, requested a dis-ciplinary revocation that was grant-ed immediately because he is no lon-ger practicing law. The Florida Bar said a disciplinary revocation is the “equiva-lent to disbarment,” although Thornton can seek readmission in five years.

However, Thornton, who has been practicing law for more than 35 years with an emphasis on real estate clos-ings and litigation, probate and guardianship, and corporate law, has said he is retiring.

No information was available about the complaint made against him re-garding the alleged trust account violations.

Thornton was admitted to The Florida Bar in 1974, one year after graduating from the University of Florida’s Fredric G. Levin College of Law. He had no previous disciplinary actions.

BUSINESSConsider the businesses already in south Lake County.

What additional businesses would you like to see?

Food — a Longhorn, a Waffle House. What I would really like to see here in Clermont is a chil-dren’s hospital. I have to take my son all the way to Lake Nona. I’d like to see a Greek restaurant. I’d like a Victoria’s Secret.

SHERE ORDUNACLERMONT

I would like to see — not a chain — like a boutique with a handful of each item so everybody won’t be buying the same thing. I just don’t feel like I want to wear the same thing that everybody can get.

JULIE KILEYGROVELAND

Music and technology. We don’t have an Apple Store. We have a music store, but it doesn’t have a lot of variety. But I do feel we’ve got a lot in the area recently. We definite-ly have more than we had before.

CIARA HILLCLERMONT

We have a communi-ty theater, we have a mu-sic store, we have a dance store, we have a cupcake shop, we have a cute little deli downtown. Honestly I’m not sure what else we could want, except I think we should have more rec-reation centers for our youth.

is determining whether the two aquifers are truly separated by a confining layer of earth and are not simply part of the same aquifer system.

Scott Laidlaw, the bu-reau chief of Water Use Planning and Regulation for the St. Johns River Wa-ter Management District, said data about the lower aquifer is limited.

“If the nature of the confinement between the two units (the upper and lower aquifers) is leaky, drawing water from the lower Floridan may have the same impact to the minimum flows and lev-els bodies as pulling wa-ter from the Upper Flori-dan,” he said.

“The two units are hy-drologically connected. The nature of that con-nectivity varies across the region.”

Indeed, in Georgia, mu-nicipalities have been withdrawing from the lower Floridan since 1998, having little impact on the upper Floridan, experts said.

“The geology of this aquifer system is different in Georgia,” said James Reichard, professor of ge-ology at Georgia Southern University. “We have more confining layers that sep-arate the upper and lower Floridan.”

But because the low-er aquifer is largely un-tapped, much about it remains a mystery to sci-entists and geologists.

“We don’t know what the local geology looks like in the lower Flori-dan and whether you can withdraw a reasonable quantity of water,” said Alan Oyler, the technical consultant for the SLRWI, who previously worked for the city of Orlando for 28 years in the waste wa-ter department imple-menting reclaimed water systems. “Finding that out

is not cheap.”Oyler said there are ar-

eas can be pulled from that will have a smaller ef-fect than other areas.

“Any withdrawal from the lower aquifer is bound to have some effect on the upper,” he said. “The question is how much.”

Even so, the SJRWMD has approved permits,, such as one to Niagara Bottling Co., to more than double the amount of wa-ter it draws from the Flor-idan Aquifer using the lower aquifer.

Niagara contends that withdrawing water from the lower aquifer will have less impact on lake levels.

In some places in Flori-da, the confining unit (be-tween the two aquifers) is less than 50 feet thick and composed of permeable limestone and dolomite, whereas Niagara con-tends the area it’s looking at has a confining unit of clay up to 75 feet thick.

A permit condition also was included in the agree-ment that allows the per-mit to be revoked or the withdrawal reduced if aquifer tests demonstrate that using water from the lower aquifer does not provide the benefit antici-pated, according to Water Management officials.

Lake County Commis-sioner Sean Parks said be-fore the lower aquifer is utilized as a water source, “the best modeling and scientific data will have to demonstrate it has no ef-fect on the Upper Flori-dan.”

“I do believe any per-mits issued for the Lower Floridan should be issued on a short-term basis,” he said, so if it is determined it has an impact on the upper aquifer, the permit can be revoked.

But studying the aqui-fers to assure there is sep-aration between the up-per and lower will be expensive.

Working in conjunction with the Central Florida Water Initiative, the SL-

RWI must come up with $300,000 to fund a study that will convince the Wa-ter Management District that using the lower aqui-fer is a viable option.

The Florida Senate has recommended full fund-ing for the study, while the House of Represen-tatives must still approve the funding. Even so, all parties, with the excep-tion of the Lake County Commission, have agreed to share in the cost of the study. The County Com-mission is expected to vote for approval at an upcoming meeting.

And even if studies prove the aquifers are separated, the costs of drilling deeper and pu-rifying the water that comes from the lower aquifer will affect water users.

Oyler said water rates across Central Florida will undoubtedly rise.

Parks said finding an al-ternative water source — whether it is tapping the lower aquifer or some-thing else — can be just one part of a larger solu-tion to the approaching water shortage. He also advocates conservation, water reuse, and captur-ing storm water for use by consumers.

LEADING THE CHARGEPolk County, Lake’s

neighbor to the south, is already seeking a permit to withdraw 30 million gallons a day from the lower aquifer.

“We have already done tests that will demonstrat-ed no impact to the upper aquifer or surficial,” said Gary Fries, Polk’s utilities director.

The whole project is expected to cost $320 million because a ma-jor pipeline must be in-stalled, Fries said.

Fries believes that the lower Floridan is the most cost-effective option for Polk County, even though they will have to treat the water because the quality is poor.

“It will probably impact our water rates by 15 per-cent,” he said.

The further south you go in Florida, the poor-er the quality of water, Oyler explained. He said there are eight wells in the south Lake region cur-rently withdrawing wa-ter needs from the lower aquifer.

The water quality test-ed in Minneola, Clermont and Groveland lower aquifer wells is excellent, but as you reach the Four Corners area, the quality gets worse, he said.

“That is a challenge to treat,” he said.

Drilling in the low-er aquifer is like potluck, Oyler said, explaining that one area could pro-duce good water quality and another area 15 miles away could have poorer quality.

While Oyler said the Lower Floridan is a via-ble option, the question is whether it will meet all of south Lake’s needs.

That is why it cannot be the only solution to solv-ing the problem, he not-ed.

“If you look at the gen-eral use pattern of water, 50 percent of potable wa-ter is used for irrigation,” he said. “If we can stop large-scale irrigation, we don’t have a water prob-lem right now.”

While some areas are connected to reclaimed water, with many cities in the south region, includ-ing Groveland, expand-ing its reclaimed water networks, conservation is also key, Oyler said.

Groveland Mayor Tim Loucks said in the next few months the Eagle Ridge Reclaimed Distri-bution System would be online, reducing ground-water for irrigation by 400,000 gallons a day.

Regardless, people should cut back on their use of water, said.

“We are not in Cos-ta Rica,” Oyler said. “You can’t grow a jungle.”

A4 SOUTH LAKE PRESS Wednesday, April 9, 2014

T he news last week that Lake County offi-cials may build a massive volleyball com-plex on the waterfront in Tavares should

sting any resident of Leesburg who cares about the city’s growth and prosperity.

The complex could become one of the larg-est sites for beach volleyball tournaments in the Southeast if county commissioners approve the plan on April 8. The 20-court complex would be built in partnership with USA Volleyball, and it could draw thousands of spectators a year while infusing the local economy with hun-dreds of thousands of dollars.

Sadly for Leesburg, this opportunity was theirs for the taking, but the city fumbled the negotiations last year to site the complex at Ve-netian Gardens on Lake Harris, so the plan’s supporters took their proposal down the road.

Ironically, this all comes at a time when Leesburg officials are preparing a master plan for the future of Venetian Gardens, a sprawling 110-acre com-plex on the shore of Lake Harris that features rec-reational facilities and outstanding walking paths. They are asking residents to chime in their ideas in a series of meetings over the coming weeks.

Many longtime Leesburg residents fondly re-call a time when Venetian Gardens was a vi-brant recreation destination and long for a return to those days. They envision boats off-shore, parks teeming with picnickers and week-end warriors playing basketball, football and Frisbee. And yet it hasn’t happened.

Some blame past and present city commission-ers for caving in to the wishes of residents in up-scale Palmora Park who want Venetian Gardens — adjacent to their community — to remain low-key and placid.

There could be something to that criticism. Many ideas have been floated to the City Com-mission in recent years, and none have taken root.

And while many wish for Venetian Gardens to be a lively destination that draws people to the area, some of the commission’s decisions seem designed to have the opposite effect, like the creation of a no-wake zone in the boat ba-sin that has been blamed for driving away rec-reational boaters.

Leesburg really cannot afford to become comfortable and complacent. This is a city be-ing challenged by The Villages for the consum-er and entertainment dollars of its residents. It must do what it can to draw visitors, and Vene-tian Gardens certain has the kind of star power to do that, if only city leaders would allow it.

Perhaps there is momentum toward that. Mayor John Christian said the commission will take a thoughtful, deliberate look at Venetian Gardens with an eye toward energizing the area while also protecting the quality of life of those in Palmora Park.

Let’s hope so. Venetian Gardens is a valuable community asset that should not be permitted to languish.

If the Florida Senate is allocating $300,000 for a study to find an alternate water supply for south Lake County and the St. John’s Water Management District and is permitting the Niagara bottler to increase the water amounts to be removed for their profit, does this sound strange to any-one else?

Taxpayers are spending $300,000 to find an alternative source for the south Lake water supply while Niagara makes a profit from our very water.

Whatever entity that has some say with this decision-making should step up and check into what is going on here.

Who is it and why aren’t they concerned? The taxpayers of Lake County deserve to know, and now, before it is to late.

Squandering our tax dollars

I can’t help wonder why U.S. taxpayers are paying possibly $2 million dollars for Michelle Obama to fly herself and her whole entourage over to China to discuss education in China.

Also, the president just spent another $1 million or more to fly to Orlando to discuss the econ-omy. I’m sure there must be a couple of million good reasons to squander tax dollars.

I just happened to think,

maybe Michelle is in China to get another loan to squander.

Oh well, spend. The deficit in America is still the fault of George Bush.

DUANE HATCH | Leesburg

Half a decade of deception

It appears to me that William Campbell in a recent letter, “Support the president,” from March 16, lives in a different country than I do.

After five years of listening to lies, it seems that he hasn’t been listening to the president or watching many of the things he has done.

First, how about the pres-ident saying that the troops in the military should pay for their own treatment? This shows how far he is from know-ing anything about the mili-tary. Campbell must not have read any of the “Voices” letters in the Daily Commercial that tell it like it is, with the Democrats in the Senate that hate the mil-itary, and Barbara Boxer’s com-

ment that a general should ad-dress her as Senator rather than ma’am, which is a respectable term that we learned to call la-dies. Even for generals.

I am also a veteran of World War II and a prisoner of war. I joined the Ohio Air National Guard in 1974 as a caretaker of the 166th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, and was called to active duty for the Korean War, 1952-1953. I stayed in the Air Force and served in the Strategic Air Command and was also squadron command-er of the 351st Strategic Missile Transportation Squadron. I was sent from Germany to Vietnam in 1968, serving a year there, not four months like John Kerry.

So, if you need to tell me more about this illegal alien in the White House, have at it.

Let the superintendent pay for the mistake

During my 30 years as a public school teacher, I cannot remem-ber having a superintendent that did not visit my classroom, ask about my program, class size and supplies needed for a successful program.

If Dr. Susan Moxley were this kind of a superintendent, re-porting wrong numbers for class sizes could not have happened.

Therefore, I suggest the $20,000 cost for the review re-quested by Dr. Moxley be paid by her.

REV. NORMAN L. CONAWAY | Eustis

Parents must be their children’s best teachers

I frequently see and hear about this or that the school system should be doing or teaching.

As an adult and a survi-vor of a local school system (Volusia County), I have to say enough. When the schools are required to teach that bullying and drugs are bad, someone has seriously misplaced their priorities.

Once upon a time and not that long ago, parents accept-ed the responsibility that their child or children were educat-ed. Parents taught kids what was right and what was wrong. Parents made sure kids did their homework. Parents com-municated with their kids’ schools and teachers.

When you make the decision to bring a child into this world, you make a lifetime commit-ment. In very large letters is the word “responsibility.” You are responsible for this child until he or she reaches adult-hood. You can and should ac-cept help from family, friends,

neighbors and yes even the school system. You should not, however, expect them to do your job.

The school system is here to offer opportunities for your child to learn. Your child is with their teachers a few hours a day for approximately nine months out of the year. This same child is with you a whole lot more than that. So who do

you think is going to have a greater influence on what your child learns? That was a rhe-torical question.

The next time you see where the local school system ranks, ask yourself, “What could I do?”

It’s time that we as parents step up and do what needs to be done. Take responsibility.

ago to inquire about putting down the animal. But one look at the piglet, who weighed less than 1 pound, stirred something in Lucero.

“I told her if she surrendered (the pig) to me, I would try to give it the best life possible,” Lu-cero said.

The doctor took the pig to his Summerville home and built a tiny rear-end wheelchair out of K’Nex blocks, a children’s build-ing toy similar to Legos. A video posted on YouTube — showing Chris P. Bacon scooting around in his wheeled contraption — went viral, and the pig got na-tional television exposure (the “Today” show, Anderson Cooper, TMX, Discovery network, etc.), his own Facebook page with 107,174 likes and even world-wide T-shirt sales.

“He’s healthy and happy and that’s all you can ask for,” Luce-ro said. “I guess I did my job. Be-yond that, he inspires me, and as I keep seeing over and over again, he inspires many others as well.”

Once called a “cute little pig,” Chris P. Bacon is not that lit-tle anymore, having added 72 pounds to his frame since Luce-

ro first got him.The PBS episode is about an-

imals given a second chance at life through human intervention and prosthetics, or in Chris P. Ba-con’s case, the mobile device Lu-cero built for him.

“A lot of people probably don’t realize what goes into a 15- to 20-minute segment,” Lucero said of the TV shoot at his home. “I know I didn’t. It was take af-ter take after take, and I’m pretty sure Chris did better than I did.”

These days, Chris P. Bacon re-mains a busy pig, making appear-ances at schools and hospitals.

“I hope and really think Chris

is inspiring a lot of people but, if nothing else, every person who meets him ends up with a huge smile on their face.”

Last weekend, Lucero and Chris P. Bacon made an appear-ance at the MDA Muscle Walk in Orlando and, last month, partic-ipated in the Boating and Beach Bash for people with disabilities in Boca Raton.

Lucero has written a children’s book about acceptance, the first of a three-part series featuring Chris P. Bacon, himself and his family. The doctor also hopes to drum up interest in a movie deal about the pig on wheels.

Lake Emergency Medical Services is facing cuts to ser-vice beginning in October, if the organization has to chop an additional $750,000 from its budget for fiscal year 2015.

“If I have to cut three quarters of a million dollars because of revenue projections, I have no other place to relate it to but to service,” said Jerry Smith, ex-ecutive director of Lake EMS. “We have already cut into the bone. Any deeper cuts will re-sult in an amputation.”

This budget year, Lake EMS had close to a $1 million shortfall in its budget, result-ing in Smith paring expenses to avoid cutting service.

Smith did not fill six posi-tions and was forced to elim-

inate the deputy chief of op-erations position. He also has put off purchasing two am-bulances and IT equipment.

A reduction in call volume and transport volume has re-sulted in a $425,000 loss in anticipated revenue.

Now, Smith said he was in-formed the ambulance’s al-location, which it receives through the Municipal Ser-vice Taxing Unit, has been re-duced by $400,000 for fiscal year 2014-15.

“One third of that funds the EMS budget,” he said, ex-plaining the ambulance ser-vice collects the remainder of its revenue from user fees, which have collectively been reduced because of the re-duction in number of trans-ports.

Steve Koontz, Lake’s budget

director, said the county previ-ously had additional revenues left over from the Lake-Sumter EMS split after Sumter County dissolved its contract with the organization.

“Those reserves have been depleted,” he said, adding a reduction in property values has also affected the alloca-tion.

Smith said the majority of the ambulance service costs are fixed, including medi-cal supplies, fuel costs and maintenance. There is little room to make more cuts oth-er than what he has already done, he said.

Next year’s budget does not include any funding for capi-tal, Smith said, leaving many needs unmet.

“We need at least three quarters of a million dollars

to get us on track ...,” he said.Smith has to replace four

truck chassis, 16 LifePaks (known as cardiac moni-tors) and 14 stretchers by 2016. The cardiac monitors are $30,000 a piece and each stretcher is $14,000, accord-ing to Smith.

He already has eliminated funding for travel for his em-ployees in his budget.

“That has put us at a disad-vantage,” Smith said. “We are not involved in discussions at conferences about what the leading edge in medicine is.”

To add to the gravity of the situation, there are also na-tional shortages on intrave-nous fluids and critical med-ication paramedics must give during a cardiac arrest. This is going to cause the price of medications inevitably to go

up, Smith said.In June, county commis-

sioners will be asked for at least an additional $1 mil-lion for the organization, said Smith.

“We are proud that we have progressive protocols,” he said. “We would like to main-tain a high level of patient care.”

Commissioner Jimmy Con-ner, who serves as vice chair-man of the Lake EMS board, said he would oppose cutting services to Lake EMS.

“We are going to address public safety in our budget,” he said. “That is all there is to it. It is my top priority, wheth-er it is the sheriff’s budget or Lake EMS. Funding the res-cue coordinator position for Lake Animal Services is not my No. 1 priority.”

Lake Emergency Medical Services could face cuts

L ake County en-tered the world of professional golf

last week.The Lake Coun-

ty Classic, a Nation-al Golf Association tour stop, was played at Harbor Hills County Club in Lady Lake, and featured a record-set-ting performance by tournament winner Dominic Bozzelli, who won his third straight tournament.

In the annals of the NGA — once known as the Hooters Tour — only one player had previously notched three straight wins. Zach Johnson, the 2007 Masters winner and 11-time winner on the PGA Tour, ac-complished a trifecta in 2001.

Only a handful of golfers have won more tournaments in suc-cession. Byron Nel-son won 11 straight in 1945. Tiger Woods had three separate streaks of at least five straight wins — a seven-win streak beginning in the 2006 season and ex-tending into the 2007 campaign, a stretch of six wins that began in 1999 and ended in 2000 and five straight wins in the 2007 and 2008 seasons.

In addition, Ben Ho-gan won six straight tournaments in 1948 and four straight in 1953, and Jack Burke Jr. captured four straight victories in 1952.

So Bozzelli’s accom-plishment vaulted him into pretty rarified air.

Bozzelli earned his win at Harbor Hills as a champion should — by draining bird-ie putts on each of his final three holes. He didn’t hang on to win and he didn’t outlast his closest competitor.

He won by making more birdies than sec-ond-place finisher Jack Newman, who man-aged only one birdie over the closing three holes.

That’s quality golf.And Harbor Hills

was a worthy host for the tournament. Play-ers and NGA officials raved about the con-ditions on the nearly 7,000-yard course that features numerous el-evation changes and countless breathtaking views.

“I really enjoyed Har-bor Hills this week,” Bozzelli tweeted after his win. “Nice venue.”

Lake County got pro golf, but did anyone really care?

The Lake-Sumter State College softball team earned a doubleheader split with Eastern Florida State College on April 1 at the National Training Cen-ter softball complex.

Eastern Florida State won the opener 5-3 with solo runs in the sixth and seventh innings, but the Lakehawks rebounded in the nightcap to pick up a 5-3 win.

In the second game, Sa-

vannah Lalande got the win for LSSC. She relieved Emily Johnson in the fourth inning and allowed no runs on three hits.

Taylor Douglass paced the Lakehawks in both games. She went a com-bined 6-for-6 with a tri-ple, double and single in the second game.

Douglass had a triple and two singles in the first game.

Makenzie Heggie had two hits in the first game and finished the night with three hits. LSSC

catcher Jackie Reich had two hits in the nightcap.

In the first game, in ad-dition to Douglass and Heggie, Katie Hohman had multiple hits.

Breezy Vanderzyl took the loss in the first game.

LSSC bumped its record to 22-25 overall and 7-9 in the Mid-Florida Confer-ence.

The Lakehawks are off until Saturday when they host Florida State Col-lege-Jacksonville at 1 p.m. at the LSSC softball com-plex.

The Montverde Academy boys basketball team celebrates with the national championship trophy on Saturday after beating Mount of Wilson (Va.) Oak Hill Academy in the championship game at the High School National Tournament in Madison Square Garden in New York.

FRANK JOLLEY | Staff [email protected]

There have been a number of dynasties in sports.

UCLA and Kentucky in college basketball qualify as a dynasty, with 19 national titles between them.

The New York Yan-kees, with 27 World Se-

ries titles, certainly qualifies as a dynasty, as do the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970s and the Green Bay Packers in the 1960s. In addition, the Bill Rus-sell-led Boston Celtics, with 11 championships in 13 seasons is the defi-nition of dominance.

Montverde Academy might qualify for inclu-

sion in that exclusive club.

The Eagles boys bas-ketball team used suf-focating defense to bust open a close game in the second quarter en route to a 71-62 win against Mouth of Wil-son (Va.) Oak Hill Acad-emy to win the nation-al championship at the High School Nation-

al Tournament at Mad-ison Square Garden in New York.

It was Montverde Academy’s second con-secutive national cham-pionship. The Eagles beat Newark (N.J.) St. Benedict’s Prep 67-65 in overtime in last year’s ti-tle game.

n SOUTHERN TACKLEWORKS | TAVARESDespite the misconception that

the crappie quit biting after the spawn is concluded, the angler that guides out of Southern Tackleworks caught and released 53 specks in Lake Dora on jigs tipped with min-nows. Most of the bass have moved off the beds and are schooling on shad. Moving baits like worms and chatter baits are working well. Southern Tackleworks will be host-ing a seminar on Sunday for more information contact the shop. The Wednesday night open bass tour-nament has resumed with the time change. For anyone interested, they start at 5:30 on Wednesday eve-ning. Sandy’s bass tournament, open to all, is held on the third Sat-urday monthly at the Buzzard Beach ramp. Sandy’s next regular bass tournament will be an open tourna-ment held April 19 with the weigh in at Buzzard Beach at 2:30 p.m.; any questions about either tournament call the shop at 352-742-0036.

n PINE ISLAND CAMP | FRUITLAND PARKShell cracker are hitting on grass

shrimp and worms. Many anglers are catching limits. Pine Island has a full supply of live baits includ-ing grass shrimp as well as a vari-ety of artificial baits. RV sites, camp sites boats and slips are available for rental. Check out the restaurant before going out or coming off the lake.

n PALM GARDENS | TAVARESSpecks are still being caught on

mostly minnows and some jigs. They are still at the edge of the grass

and shorelines and are back in the deeper water. Palm Gardens has pontoon boats available to rent.

n NELSON’S FISH CAMP | WEIRSDALE

Bluegill are starting to bite on grass shrimp.

n BLACK BASS RESORT-FISH CAMP Minnow and worms are still the top

sellers. Water levels are up making the boat ramp accessible to more boats. If the fish aren’t biting why not rent a boat or canoe and just make the most of a great day enjoying nature.

n SORRENTO BAIT AND TACKLEThe best reports are coming in from

the Saint Johns River. Lots of hybrid (Sunshine) bass are being caught in

the deep holes and bends in the riv-er, the mouth of the Wekiva River and the feeder creeks on shiners and buck tail jigs. Schooling bass are be-ing caught over the shell beds on Rat-L-Traps and noisy top water baits. A few specks are still being caught in the Harris chain in the residential ca-nals and the Apopka-Beauclaire Ca-nal. Post spawn bass are biting early in the morning in the mouths of resi-dential canals on lipless baits like Rat-L-Traps chrome blue is a good color choice. Stop in and get the latest dai-ly report.

The Lake-Sumter State College baseball team scored two runs in the eighth inning April 2 to beat Seminole State 4-3 at the LSSC baseball complex in Leesburg.

LSSC improved to 16-17 overall and 3-13 in the Mid-Florida Conference.

Dakota Higdon sin-gled to start the eighth and later scored on a triple by Tanner Elsber-nd. A single by Jack Cur-

tis plated Elsbernd for the winning run.

Walker Sheller got the win in relief with two scoreless innings. Da-vid Wood started for the Lakehawks and went 6 2/3 innings.

Anthony Mazzurco also pitched for LSSC.

Elsbernd, Curtis and Chris Blanton had two hits for LSSC.

High SchoolWesley Moulden

tossed a one-hitter, while striking out nine

on April 1 to lift Eustis to a 1-0 win against South Sumter at Stuart Cot-trell Field.

Moulden outlast-ed Garrett Cave, South Sumter’s highly tout-ed hurler. Cave struck out 10 and, reportedly, hit 94 mph on the radar gun.

Kerry Carpenter, Mi-chael Koenig, Jere-my Migliori, Matthew Lusignan and Jacob Monroe had hits for the Panthers (11-6). Mi-gliori scored the game’s lone run on Lusignan’s base hit.

Leesburg 3, Tavares 1Tucker Smith im-

proved to 6-0 on April 1 following a 3-1 win against Tavares at Pat Thomas Stadium-Bud-dy Lowe Field.

Smith allowed four hits and struck out six.

Jason Baita, Craig Hampton and Jaden Langley scored for Lees-burg (7-11).

Alexis Martinez scored Tavares’ (4-13) only run.

Leesburg managed only three hits off the Bulldogs hurlers. Austin Baskette started and ab-sorbed the loss.

Hills, and his crew did a magnificent job get-ting the course ready for the profession-als in the weeks lead-ing up to the tourna-ment. He extended the length of a few holes to make the course lon-ger and force the NGA pros to use more than just their drivers and wedges.

For local players looking for a real chal-lenge, Leimberger hinted that he would keep the longer tees in play.

On Saturday, after the course was deemed unplayable because of late morning and ear-ly afternoon storms, Leimberger and his staff worked overtime to get the place ready for a golfing marathon on Sunday.

Not once did any player complain about substandard playing conditions, and the scores reflected qual-ity conditions. Scores were low and players

moved up and down the leaderboard.

Sunday was, argu-ably, as exciting as the Masters will be next week, sans the glitz, glitter, pomp and stodginess.

The only blemish on the entire tournament was that just a handful of local golf fans were on hand to witness his-tory.

Bet the ranch, though, that if Bozzel-li winds up winning 11 PGA Tour events, like Zach Johnson, thou-sands will tell their friends they saw Boz-zelli when he set a re-cord at Harbor Hills.

But I’m not using newshole to bury the Lake County golf fan.

If I were to do that, then I’d have to ad-dress the makeup of the area sports fan.

I’d have to write about how many like to coach from the bleachers and com-plain about their kids not getting enough playing time.

I’d have to remark about those who whine and write letters about the coaching — or lack

thereof —at the vari-ous levels of organized sports in the county, but do nothing to help.

Nope.I just find it peculiar

that a local golf course was lucky enough to secure a professional tournament with a to-tal purse of more than $100,000 and atten-dance was far lower than it should’ve been.

Admission was free.Parking was free.It could’ve been a

showcase event for Lake County and its golfing enthusiasts.

Instead, it was a showcase for the golf course and the Harbor Hills staff.

They prepared an in-credible playing field for the pros to strut their stuff. Too bad, so relatively few of us made the effort to go out and support the show.

Good thing the NGA liked what they saw and would like to come back to Lake Coun-ty for future events. If they used the turn-stile count to make their decision, then it might be 2114 before

we’d have another pro-fessional tournament come around.

So many people like to boast about how well sports collectives are supported in Lake County.

The Leesburg Light-ning, for example, has led the Florida Colle-giate Summer League in attendance for the last seven years. Pro-fessional fishing tour-naments draw solid crowds when they’re in the area.

But not so much for the first professional golf tournament in re-cent memory.

Perhaps it just takes time, and next year’s event will create park-ing problems and the need for ropes on the fairways and the greens to hold back the gallery.

I hope so.It would be a shame

if Lake County bowed out of the professional golf business after only one or two years.

led by as many as 25 points after taking a three-point lead into the second quarter. The Eagles’ defense, led by tournament MVP Ben Simmons, along with D’Angelo Russell, Chris Egi, Jordan Caroline and Brendan Boyle, left Oak Hill Academy frustrat-ed and in a 17-point hole at halftime.

Simmons, who fin-ished with 24 points and 12 rebounds, helped Montverde Academy to its largest lead midway through the third quarter.

A scoring drought by the Eagles of more than four minutes at the start of the fourth quarter enabled Oak Hill Academy to briefly cut the lead to seven at 59-52 with 3 minutes, 52 seconds to play. Egi helped to snuff out any hopes Oak Hill Acade-

my had of cutting into the lead any further with a putback that snapped the scoreless streak.

Later, Egi scored on a layout and then stuffed a shot on Oak Hill Academy’s next pos-session with less than two minutes to play.

Justin Bibbs had 17 points for Montverde Academy and Rus-sell chipped in with 16 points and 11 rebounds.

Cody Martin paced Oak Hill Academy with 14 points and 10 re-bounds.

Montverde Acade-my finished the season 28-0 and riding a 34 game winning streak. The Eagles’ lone loss in January against Chica-go Curie was later tak-en down when it was discovered Curie had used players who were academically ineligi-ble.

Oak Hill Academy wrapped up its season with a 41-4 record.

FROM THE FILES | 25 YEARS AGO — 1989

Reliving history through pages of the South Lake PressSITE TALKS CONTINUE FOR FEDERAL PRISON

C ounty Commis-sioner Richard Swartz said Lake

County may still get a federal prison, but un-less public sentiment changes drastically, it won’t be located at the U.S. Highway 27/State Road 19/Florida Turn-pike intersection.

County commission-ers opted to seek an al-ternative site after con-ducting an impromptu poll during a public hearing attended by more than 200 people in Clermont March 29.

A new state law will soon go into effect re-quiring concurren-cy, meaning all utilities and roads must be in place before construc-tion of any new devel-opment can begin. Be-cause of this new law, and the decision to drop the US 27/SR 19 site from consideration for the prison, develop-ment at the site, slat-ed for an expo center, sports complex and/or industrial park, could be delayed for eight to 10 years.

In possibly the first unanimous vote of the

South Lake Develop-ment Council, mem-bers endorsed the pro-posed federal prison in Lake County on March 20. Three other possible sites were mentioned, although only one was offered. Private devel-oper Bob Mandell of Greater Construction of Orlando reportedly was willing to present a choice of three loca-tions on his 1,700-acre property on the east side of US 27 and south of County Road 561A. Rumored were sites along County Road 474 and near Okahumpka.

LIBRARY CELEBRATES DIAMOND JUBILEE

This week marks Coo-per Memorial Library’s 75th anniversary. While we salute the library’s Diamond Jubilee, we should also pay tribute to the driving force be-hind the library’s con-tinued growth and suc-cess for nearly 25 of those years — its cur-rent president, Alice Til-den, who is the South Lake Press Citizen of the Month for April.

The library will hold a Diamond Jubilee cel-ebration from 1-4 p.m. Sunday afternoon. Plan

to tour the former bank building at the cor-ner of Montrose Street and Lake Avenue. Its remodeling was made possible from $80,000 in donations raised by the Library Board in 1980 from the giving people of this commu-nity.

Head, hearts, hands and health are what 4-H stands for, and young-sters had to use their heads during the Goat Skill-a-Thon at the Lake County Fair.

“This year has been very good so far,” said Megan Brew, livestock agent for the Lake County Extension Of-fice. “The kids have done very well and we’ve had many perfect scores.”

The Skill-a-Thon en-courages kids to learn about the many differ-ent aspects of agricul-ture. This year’s theme was health care.

“The kids are learn-ing about biology and buyer security in a way that makes it interest-ing,” Brew said. “We keep track of the kids over the years and see their progress. This lets us know the best ways to help them learn the material.”

Brew has seen the test scores consistently im-prove with the use of study guides and work-shops.

“It’s been really grat-ifying to see how they improve each year,” she

said. “This test is just a reflection of the skills they’ve learned through their individual proj-ects.”

The kids are divid-ed into three groups based on their age, and given just two minutes at each of the four sta-tions.

Advancement Via Individu-al Determination, or AVID, was a program developed in Cal-ifornia in 1980 to help mid-dle-achieving students improve. Since then, it has branched out to schools in 45 states and 16 countries.

East Ridge Middle School in Clermont is one of those, and its success rate has earned it the designation of a National Demonstration School, fit for coaching, training and guiding other schools. East Ridge was awarded the designation earli-er last week by a national AVID validation team from California.

“Schools chosen as demon-stration sites have proven their ability to successfully imple-ment the AVID academic elec-tive course and take the strate-gies school-wide to impact all students,” AVID Chief Executive Officer Sandy Husk said.

East Ridge is only the eighth AVID school out of 461 in Flor-ida to receive the designation, and the 141st out of 4,900 AVID

schools worldwide.“That tells you the level of

quality you are doing here at this school,” said Cathy Sim-mons, the state director of AVID. “You’re one of the elite guys, the best of the best, and it takes leadership from students, teachers and principals.”

AVID helps students by teach-ing, and reinforcing study and organizational skills. Instruc-tors and tutors encourage them to take more challenging cours-es, not only for success in grade school, but with an eye toward college.

The validation team spent an entire day touring class-rooms and talking with stu-dents, teachers, mentors and tutors before making recom-

mendations. The protocol was part of the last step in the vali-dation process, which has taken about 18 months for the school to complete.

Lake County School Superin-tendent Susan Moxley called the designation a “stellar accom-plishment,” while School Board Member Debbie Stivender beamed.

“How grateful we are and how proud we are of how dedicated to this you all were,” Stivender said. “You just rock. That’s all there is to it.”

East Ridge, which joined AVID in 2009, had a grade passage rate last year of between 97-99 percent, said Kelly Cousineau, the school’s original AVID coor-dinator.

“I’ve been fortunate in my ca-reer to be able to start and sup-port a program I’m passion-ate about,” she said. “I’m glad I was given the freedom to think AVID was the biggest and most important thing in the world when I first started, because to me, it was. I think I was able to

John Malik Jr. said his dad, John Malik Sr., was all about Ameri-can-made products, es-pecially cars and motor-cycles.

“If you didn’t have a Harley-Davidson, (he) really didn’t want it in the parking lot,” Malik Jr. said.

Malik Sr., the former owner of Gator Har-ley-Davidson and the father of the current owner, died March 30 at the age of 82.

The family bought the dealership in 1993 and turned it into Gator Har-ley-Davidson, according to Malik Jr., after having worked with snow mo-biles, ATVs, body shops

and water crafts in the Chicagoland area. Malik Sr. and his wife, Arlene, owned the business as well as Stormy Hill Har-ley-Davidson in Cler-mont, until two years ago, when Malik Jr. and his sister, Janice Malik, took them over.

Malik Jr. now runs the Leesburg store and Janice operates the Cl-

ermont store, which opened in 2002.

“He’s been in business his whole life,” Malik Jr. said of his father. “This was always just a family business and he was the main man.”

Despite retiring two years ago, his son said Malik Sr. still came into the store every day and acted like a goodwill ambassador.

“Everybody loved him, everybody (came) in here (to) see him, and talk to him, and he’d go around telling jokes and doing his thing,” Malik Jr. said.

Malik Jr. said his dad had a stroke 16 years ago and had been in a wheelchair since. He said his father remained positive even after the stroke and came to work

as soon as he could af-ter rehab.

Malik Jr. said his fa-ther was hospitalized on March 18 after fall-ing out of his chair and hitting his head on con-crete. He sustained an-other stroke while in the hospital, Malik Jr. said.

A public service will be at 10:30 a.m. today at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Mount Dora.

THERESA CAMPBELL | Staff [email protected]

One of the most popular fe-male country singers from the 1980s, Janie Fricke, is ea-ger to return to Orange Blos-som Opry in Weirsdale to per-form two shows on Saturday at a place that feels like home.

“It’s a wonderful venue; it’s very homey, warm, and I love those types of theaters,” she said in a phone interview, and she relishes music halls filled with character and cha-risma over the more modern facilities.

“It puts me at ease, for sure,” Fricke said. “You feel at home; you just feel like you’re in your living room and you can reach out and visit with the fans and friends because you know that those folks are very tried and true to their traditional country music. … It’s like a family of friends and a family of music.”

Orange Blossom General Manager Suzanne Morgan, who also serves as the lead singer of the Orange Blos-som’s band, said she adores Fricke’s music and ability to project warmth and connect with her fans.

“Just about every song she does is a favorite,” Morgan said. “She’s very good with the audience; she reaches out to them.”

The last time Fricke per-formed in Weirsdale was with The Roys last October, where she joined in singing blue-grass.

“The audience is looking forward to her doing her tra-ditional songs, and not blue-

grass. They like that she is coming as herself and doing her songs in the traditional style,” Morgan said. “And that is what we’re looking forward to, too.”

Fricke grew up singing at the church near her family’s 400-acre farm in South Whit-ley, Ind., followed by coffee-house appearances and oth-er gigs throughout college at Indiana University, where she earned a degree in ele-mentary education.

Her passion for singing be-came her bread and butter, leading her to Los Angeles, Memphis and Dallas, where she first found success sing-ing jingles for United Air-lines, 7-Up, Red Lobster and Coca-Cola.

The music industry took notice of Fricke’s voice af-ter she was heard in duets with Merle Haggard and oth-er stars, which opened the doors for her first major re-cording contract. She soon began topping the country charts with her hits “Don’t Worry ‘Bout Me Baby,” “He’s a Heartache,” and “Your Heart’s Not in It.”

Fricke also won awards and

accolades, including Coun-try Music Association’s Fe-male Vocalist of the Year, Mu-sic City News Female Vocalist of the Year, “Billboard” Top Country Female Vocalist, and a coveted Grammy nomina-tion for “It Ain’t Easy Being Easy.”

She has 23 albums and 36 hit singles to her credit.

“Sometimes I will forget to do a song in a show or leave it out because I don’t have enough room to do all of my songs,” Fricke said. “Sure enough, they will come up in the autograph line and say ‘You were supposed to sing ‘Tell Me a Lie,’ so why didn’t you sing that?’”

Fricke makes good by sing-ing a line from requested songs for her fans.

“I’ll sing a line for them right in the autograph line,”

she said with a chuckle. “This is a people business and you end up getting to know a lot of special people, and we’ve been getting notes from cer-tain fans who have been coming to my concerts for over 30 years.”

Fricke’s passion for music has never waned.

“It gets in your blood,” she said. “This is what I do, and it’s what I have been do-ing for all of these years, so I guess I’m pretty used to it by now.”

Following her two shows at Orange Blossom, she’ll be traveling to venues in Arkan-sas, Montana, Texas, Nevada and Wisconsin.

When Fricke is not per-forming, she’s home at her ranch in the Dallas, Tex-as area where she has a re-cording studio and record-

ed “Roses & Lace” with her band.

Her Texas home is where Fricke also devotes time to her second love: designing and creating custom hand-sewn pillows, table runners and throws that she makes and provides exclusively to World Trade Center buyers in Dallas and on janiefricke.com.

The website also fea-tures Fricke’s albums over the years, along with her “17 Greatest Hits” and “Songs of the Silver Screen,” where she has recorded what she calls the “great classic mov-ies theme songs” that peo-ple have loved over the years, ranging from “Over the Rain-bow,” “Moon River” and “I’ll Be Seeing You.”

Fricke is spotlighted in one of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s exhib-its “Radio Romance: Main-stream Country in the 1980s” that runs through April 2015, which shows the stage cos-tume she wore when she per-formed at Camp David for President Ronald Reagan in 1981.

One of the singer’s favorite aspects of performing is min-gling with fans after the show and hearing comments that her songs take them back to special and meaningful mo-ments in their lives.

“Sometimes they might say, ‘I remember when I got married, we used your songs for our wedding,’” Fricke said. “You never know what people are going to say; there is that nice little surprise.”

learned a lot,” Breanna Creech said. “Some of it was a surprise but I did my best.”

First-timer Olivia Jones of Leesburg was awarded second place in her division.

“I went online and studied the different parts and diseases for my goat,” she said. “My 4H group also helped me so when I have my own herd I can better take care of them.”

Olivia’s sister, Hannah, also received second place in her division.

The Skill-a-Thon awards will be hand-ed out at each divi-sion’s show, where they will receive a cash prize sponsored by the Lake County Cattleman As-sociation and the Lake Country Farm Bureau.

First prize in the Ju-nior Division went to Ashlee Ellis, first prize in the Intermediate Divi-sion went to Jordyn Ter-ry and first prize in the Senior Division went to D’Ayn Sayre.

The fair continues through Saturday at the fairgrounds at the inter-section of County Roads 44 and 452.

Cousineau, who now shares the duties of co-ordinator with Melody Clark, who heads the

sixth-grade program, said it has taken a lot of commitment for the entire team to meet every month and get vested in the program.

“Our successful, two-year journey re-quired shared lead-ership, strong consis-tency and continuous

innovation,” she said of the validation pro-cess. “We were excited to celebrate with our district leaders, vari-ous school principals, staff, AVID Center friends, students, par-ents, and tutors. Now we have to keep it go-ing. That’s our goal.”

privately funded Cen-tral Florida tollway will become more of a reality. The proposed route would run due south from the south-east corner of I-295 in Jacksonville on the Atlantic cost to an

intersection with I-75, either north or south of Fort Myers on the west coast. Two alter-natives were present-ed at the South Lake Development Council meeting.

For Lake Coun-ty, this could mean an eastern edge pas-sage (near Mount Dora, Ferndale and

east of Clermont) or a more centrally lo-cated stretch passing through the county’s planned recreation and industrial park at US 27/SR19/Flori-da Turnpike entrance along the Dead Riv-er, west of Howey-in-the-Hills and be-tween Clermont and Groveland.

Enchanted Living Home Decor

Enchanted Living Home Decor offers an enchantedworld of unique items and furnishings in one shopBy Terri Wells

Nestled on Eighth Street in Historic Downtown Clermont,Enchanted Living Home Decor invites visitors in with treasurescarefully displayed in every corner. Whether you're looking fora gorgeous antique couch or a much smaller item to help pullyour room together, chances are you'll find it here.

While owners Anissa Mills and Tony Wallace just openedthe shop in February of this year, their passion for antiquesgoes back much further. Wallace's mother ran an antiquebusiness in Saint Augustine, so he learned about it at herknee.

Wallace has always been a collector. He's passing thepassion on to the next generation, as daughter Ashley worksin all aspects of this family-owned business. She does a littleof everything, from picking out furniture to running the cashregister to helping out at events. "She does it all," Millsdeclared.

The family has been living in Clermont for three years,as the result of "an accident," as Mills described it. Wallacecame down for a job, and Mills followed him three monthslater, but both of them fell in love with the area. "The scenery,

the mountains, it's all so different from anywhere else inFlorida," Mills reflected. It reminded her of her home state ofOhio.

When not hunting out antique treasures for hiscustomers, Wallace can be found fishing out on the lake orindulging his enthusiasm for motorcycles. He's also anenthusiastic and experienced chef, citing Jamaican cuisineas a favorite — a passion he learned from his father, who isJamaican.

Asked about her favorite aspect of the business, Millspointed to the people. She loves talking with them andlearning their stories. The business attracts a diversity ofcustomers, from residents who have lived here for years to

visitors from out of the country. Wallace's favorite aspect ofthe business is finding and buying unusual items for thosecustomers.

In the future, Wallace and Mills hope to grow theirbusiness. "We've outgrown our space," Mills admitted. Thecouple hopes to open a second store in the future.

No More Dentures!

THERESA CAMPBELL | Staff [email protected]

Under bright floodlights with luminaries lighting the way, hundreds of cancer survivors, family members and friends walked around the track of Leesburg High School in the wee hours Sun-day for the Relay for Life of Leesburg and Lady Lake, a 16-hour event to raise aware-ness and funds for the Amer-ican Cancer Society.

The supporters wanted to show cancer doesn’t sleep. They also wanted cancer vic-tims to know they’re not alone.

“It was empowering to know that I am not the only one,” said uterine cancer survivor Wanda Linger, 41, of Bushnell, who cherished meeting other survivors at her first Relay for Life, an up-beat event filled with music, food, games and an Iron Man contest and prizes.

Even though Linger was tired, she stayed for the en-tire relay, which began at 2 p.m. Saturday and ended with the 6 a.m. closing cere-mony and final lap.

I am nine months cancer free,” Linger said. The Re-lay for Life was her chance to celebrate.

Mary Shaner of Lady Lake was joined by her infant granddaughter, Tinslee Price, 4 ½ months old, one of the youngest relay participants.

“She stayed all night and slept for a little while. This is her first relay, first of many,” said Shaner, who has been involved in Relay for Life for 15 years.

“We relay for many friends affected by cancer,” Shan-er said, recalling she became more involved in Relay for

Life in 2009 after her son’s teenage girlfriend was diag-nosed with bone cancer.

“Since then, we have been

full blast into it,” Shaner said of serving on committees and forming a family-and-friends relay team.

The Family and Friends of Cops Against Cancer team, headed by Leesburg Police Captain Rob Hicks, was out in force, too.

“It’s so wonderful to sup-port American Cancer Soci-ety, Cops Against Cancer and Relay for Life. This is just a wonderful cause in trying to help raise awareness, and I feel honored to be a part of it,” said Jeanine Rubino.

Rubino walked with Erin Mann and Molly Rowe as they made their final lap around the track.

“I think everybody has been affected by cancer one way or the other,” Mann said. “This is something that the community can do to get in-volved … to come out here and support people who are fighting cancer.”

Chuck Kirk, event chair for Relay for Life of Leesburg and Lady Lake, hailed the relay a success, bringing in an esti-mated $50,000 and up to 700 attendees at the peak of the event.

“This was awesome and a great day,” Kirk said after the closing ceremony. “We started out with a huge opening cer-emony, better than we have had in a couple of years, and it went through the entire day. Even with the heat, people stayed out. … This group of re-ally passionate people really made a difference, and when you think of all the challenges, the economy, what they have done is just phenomenal.”

Leesburg Regional Medi-cal Center employees were among the relay’s biggest supporters.

Janice Collins of LRMC said she enjoys being able to cheer for the survivors at the event.

“It’s showing them that we are here to help them and support them,” she said, “and that’s what the relay is all about.”
