in Lake Mary thatopened in November2009, said the CentralFlorida region as a wholehas seen a significantincrease this quarter,which is promising foran area that capitalizeson tourism.
“We monitor activitythat takes place all overCentral Florida, and vol-ume has definitelypicked up year over year;and not just over hotelsin Seminole county, butthe entire region of Cen-tral Florida,” he said.
However, the num-bers do not indicate thatthe industry is fully pros-perous yet, he said. Peo-ple are still strugglingand with the cost of gasand travel, the tourismindustry continues toface challenges thatlinger like ghosts fromthe plummeting marketof 2009.
“The good news isthat the first quarter of2011 seemed to bringgreater confidence.Would I say the econo-my is back to where weall want it to be?Absolutely not,” New-mark said.
Still, the numbers areon the rise and that maybe due to the fact thatbusinesses and familieshave grown tired of put-ting off conventions,family vacations andtraveling, he said.
“There’s a couple offactors that contribute tothe increases. What hap-pens is there’s a certainpoint where you canhold off on living yourlife or conducting yourbusiness affairs,” New-mark said. “It reaches apoint where companiessay it’s been two or threeyears and we need tostart doing some stuff.That is, in my opinion,part of why we saw apositive increase yearover year. People are stillstruggling, but how longcan you go on withoutsaying enough isenough? We’ve got tomove forward with ourbusiness and with ourlives.”
Sharon Sears, execu-tive director for the Semi-nole County Conventionand Visitor’s Bureau, saidSeminole County haslaunched strategic effortsto bring more tourists tothe area.
She said the bureauworked diligently to hostmore sporting events in
Seminole County thispast year, including a soc-cer tournament for theElite Club NationalLeague. Hosted inDecember, the ECNLtournament full of girls’soccer teams from allover the county bookedmore than 4,000 rooms.
Sears said the countyalso focuses attention onother sports leaguessuch as tennis tourna-ments and Babe RuthLittle League.
“Seminole county iscertainly a great area forthe tournaments, espe-cially for northern teamsbecause it puts them, ofcourse, where itswarmer, and also ourlocation is centrallylocated,” Sears said. “It’sa perfect location forthese sports teams andwe feel a great deal ofthese increases thatwe’ve luckily been see-ing can be attributed tothese efforts to bringsports groups here.”
Additionally, she saidthe location of SeminoleCounty alone holdsgreat appeal to visitorswho are looking to domore in Central Floridathan hit the DisneyParks. She said visitorswho want to go to thebeaches, but stay nearthe theme parks findSeminole County is theperfect fit.
She said the countyalso advertises itselfwith it’s natural wildlife,trails and waterways.
“You come to Floridayou, of course, alwaysthink, ‘I want to go to the
beach and I want to go theattractions,’ ” Sears said.“What a place to be in
Seminole County whenyou can be near both ineither direction. When you
want to be close to every-thing, but away from it all,come to Seminole County.”

well-suited for a time cap-sule.”
Despite the difficultyof deciding what to placein the capsule, White saidOHS has some very inter-esting items already.
Richard Adicks, authorof Oviedo: Biography of aTown will be at the eventfor a book signing and oneof the signed books willbe placed in the time cap-sule. Other items includeuncirculated 2011 coins, aTownhouse Restaurantmenu, photos of Oviedo,various patches and more.
White said OHSexpects more than 200attendees for the event.This is the second year ina row that Music Fest onthe Green will be hostedat the Lawton House. Lastyear’s Music Fest wasOHS’ debut in the LawtonHouse.
“We have tastefully
decorated this building toreflect the history ofOviedo,” White said.“This year marks the one-year anniversary, so this iskind of special. [It’s been]lots of work over the yearsto capture Oviedo historyand [to] place it on dis-play.”
The Oviedo HistoricalSociety is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization thatwas founded in 1973 topromote the preservationof Oviedo’s history.
The Lawton House,which was built in 1890, islocated next to LawtonElementary School at 190W. Broadway St.
It was built in 1890 onthe site of the Oviedopolice station. In 1910, theLawton family moved it toits current location andlast year, OHS made theLawton House its operat-ing quarters.
The 2011 Music Fest onthe Green is a free eventand will be held from 10a.m. to 2 p.m. The musicalgenre groups will includerhythm and blues, coun-try and soft rock fromlocal talent.

“It was a big deal thatour county was highlight-ed on national news,”Kendall said. “I had noidea that this was goingon in our county. We needto come together to try tobenefit the situation.”
Kendall and his peer,junior Kiersten Coffman,planned the event alongwith Gaskill.
“I believe this eventshows people in the com-munity that not all highschool students are self-focused, but rather veryaware of the strugglingeconomy and how it isaffecting their neighbors,”Gaskill said.
To determine theamount of food the eventwould like to collect,Kendall asked HOPEHelps how much food it
takes to fill up the pantryfor one week.
The food pantry divi-sion of HOPE determinedit needed at least 2,400cans of food and 900 drygoods.

cess there will continue to bejobs.”
Brian Wright, a local owner offive McDonald’s restaurants inSeminole County, said he hired 22new employees on hiring day(April 27) alone.
He said because the structure ofthe restaurant is changing, there isa need for more people to workmore shifts, but fewer hours pershift.
Basically, the company is mov-ing toward a “department managerstructure,” Wright said.
That structure is designed tohave a manager for each segmentof the restaurant, like kitchen man-ager and a guest service manager.
That also means that currentemployees will be promoted andvarious positions will need to befilled, he said.
“We’re moving to a departmentmanager structure, and we needsome more help taking care of ourrestaurants, is what it boils downto,” Wright said. “Restaurantdepartment management createsmore shifts, but with less hours, sowe definitely have the need formore employees.”
While there may be perceptionsderived from “flipping burgers,”Garrett said a McDonald’s joblines its employees up for success.
Whether you’re a teenagerlooking for a part-time job, or a
stay-at-home mom looking forpart-time employment, there isroom for both education andgrowth within the McDonald’sfamily, she said.
“McDonald’s has an amazingtraining program, and you cancontinue working and growingwithin the company,” Garrett said.“Not only that, but you can takeyour experiences anywhere. They(McDonald’s) set their people upto succeed. They try to meet peo-ple where they are in their lives. Ifthey’re trying to find a place tofind a career, and move up andgrow, there’s room for that.Perhaps they’re a student trying towork their way through school or astay-at-home mom who wants apart time job, there’s the opportu-nity to do as much as you want todo. You’re only limited to your-self.”
Wright agreed and explainedthat he and his father, Timothy,had been with the company foralmost their entire lives.
“My father started as a crewmember when he was 16 workingon the grill, and my mother startedon the front counter,” Wright said.“He then moved up and became amanager at 19, and became anowner/operator at 27.
“His one real job his entire lifehas been at McDonald’s, and nowI’m able to also participate in thebusiness.”
Wright and his father own andoperate McDonald’s in Seminole
County in Longwood on 17-92,Casselberry on 436, Fern Park inAltamonte, on Aloma in WinterPark, and on Tuskawilla and RedBug in Winter Springs.
As for hiring in the future,Wright said during the hiringprocess he looks for someone withopen availability who is willing toput in a good work ethic.
While the hires have been madealready for the nationwide initia-tive, Wright said that applicationswill always be accepting and hiringwill continue to occur in thefuture.

ST. PETERSBURG(AP) — For sale: a five-bedroom, Mediterranean-style mansion with a red,barrel-tiled roof andarched doorways and win-dows. It even comes withsome notoriety as it wasonce owned by one ofOsama bin Laden's broth-ers.
Khalil bin Laden, one ofthe terrorist mastermind's54 siblings, bought thehome in 1980 for $1.6 mil-lion, but the wealthy busi-nessman and his familyfled their vacation spotunder police escort shortlyafter 9/11, fearing theymight be targeted becauseof the terrorist attacks. The1920s-era mansion has satempty ever since.
The home is in Oakland,Fla., a quiet small townabout 20 miles west ofOrlando. There's a pool,horse stables and a four-cardetached garage. It has fall-
en into a bit of disrepairdue to vandals and humidFlorida weather, but thereal estate agent in chargeof selling the property saidit can easily be restored toits previous grandeur.
Asking price: $1,999,000.Khalil bin Laden's chil-
dren used to run up anddown the stairs, playingnear the quiet lake in theback when the bin Ladenname meant wealth andprestige. Then came Sept.11, 2001.
Eventually, boards cov-ered windows that over-looked the 1,200 feet of pri-vate lake shoreline.
In February 2006, at theheight of Florida's housingboom, Khalil bin Ladensold the property for $4million, property recordsshow, to a businessmanwho later went bankruptand was sentenced toseven years in prison forfraud.

As the final days of the school year approach and thepressure on students to complete projects and study forexams builds, the Oviedo High School Band and Colorguardare diligently preparing to entertain.
On Friday night, more than 160 high school band mem-bers will present their 2011 Spring Showcase Concert at theGerald Cassanova Performing Arts Center. The upbeat andfast-paced show consists of numerous acts appearing in allcorners of the auditorium, similar to the format successfulwith the audience at the December OHS Lion Showcase.
Band director Dennis Line said in addition to performanc-es by the wind ensemble, symphonic band and jazz ensem-ble, some members will be demonstrate individual talents.
“I am very excited about the Spring Showcase because itallows the students to show off some of some of their othertalents other than playing their (band) instrument,” Linesaid. “There will be some band kids singing and dancing andplaying different instruments. We also will have somecomedic acts and there might even be a special guest appear-ance from a local rock band that has played only one othertime — me and three others.”
Following the performance, the show will move to the oldgymnasium where the OHS Colorguard and the OHSMarching Lions will reveal the first half of next year’s march-ing band show.
“We are fortunate enough to have the music early andwe’ve had a little time to workon it,” Line said. “It’s exciting tobe able to present it to an audi-ence.”
Line said he hopes theSpring Showcase will attractpeople of all ages to the event.
“It’s our free concert of theyear and we like to give back tothe community,” he said. “It’salso a chance to inspire futureband students.”
Line said he has enjoyed watching the Spring Showcasecome together this year.
“It makes me appreciate all the different things [the stu-dents] can do and it makes me appreciate the kids that muchmore,” he said.
Though Line admits the end of the year can be extreme-ly hectic for his students as they prepare for a show, partici-pation has given his students a much-needed outlet.
“I also think it creates closure to the year because it allowssome of them to showcase their talents, and it allows the sen-iors to entertain one more time,” he said.
The final show of the year is always bittersweet, Line said.“You have to say good bye to the kids you have had for
four years; but then you also look forward to the new kids,”he said.
Percussionist Dan Robertson said the show will be a bitemotional, especially for seniors like him.
“Over the years I have seen all the other senior classesmake their exit and it has always been a bittersweet thing, sowhile it’s sad to see it all ending, I am hoping to make this thelast hurrah,” Robertson said.
“My favorite part at the moment is seeing the new gener-ation of musicians, the freshman, sophomore and juniors,and knowing I am hopefully leaving behind a legacy,” he said.

world,” Katerina said.“But if you leave, youcannot come back … Iwould have no future.”
Over the next fewmonths, Irina joinedVadim in America,along with daughtersKaterina, then 13, andDarya, 23.
Soon Irina joinedher husband at theSouthern BalletTheater as ballet mis-tress and a coach of thecompany.
While the familytransitioned well totheir new country,Katerina said shemissed Ukrainian cul-ture.
“I was coming fromsomewhere where cul-ture is a part of your lifewith ballets, operas,symphonies, orches-tras,” she said. “I wasborn in the theater; itwas my playground. Iprobably spent moretime sleeping in peo-ple’s dressing roomsthan in my own house.”
Eager to share theiraffection for the arts,the husband and wifeteam founded theirown ballet school adja-cent to the PlazaTheater on BumbyAvenue called TheRussian Academy ofBallet of Orlando.Success, however, didnot come easy.
“We did not speakEnglish and had onlybeen here for threeyears and we thoughtwe would open aschool and everyonewould miraculouslycome to our studio,”Katerina said. “We tooka bit of a hit the first sixmonths. We ended updoing our firstNutcracker productionand parents were sell-ing tickets for us … wemaybe sold 200 tick-ets.”
Much to their shock,opening night they per-formed to a full house— 850 tickets had beensold.
“I still get goosebumps talking about it,”Katerina said.
In 2003, when friendBeatrix Aldana of theRoyal Dance Centerand Orlando City Balletwas diagnosed withcancer, she asked thecouple to take over herWinter Springs studio,as they, too, taught theRussian method of bal-let and she wanted toensure her studentswould continue.
“We still have mostof her younger students… and some of them aregraduating from highschool now,” Katerinasaid.
Today, more than250 students areenrolled between theirtwo locations.
The Russian Balletof Orlando, a non-profitProfessional StudentCompany, allows thestudents of the RussianAcademy to performprofessional produc-tions. The dance acade-my, Katerina said, pro-vides so much morethan a typical balletschool.
“We don’t just offerthem ballet, we providethem with an educationand training,” Katerinasaid. “Our teachershave all been trained byus for four to sixmonths before theyteach with us.”
If a dancer hasdreams of joining a pro-fessional company,Katerina said it is theiraim to open their eyesto the ballet beyondOrlando.
“Our job is not tokeep kids here. A lot ofschools make the mis-take of wanting to keeptheir talent here,” shesaid.
Instead, Katerinasaid, she wants to seeher dancers in newspa-pers and magazines.
“There is so much
more to explore,” she said.The Russian Academy
of Ballet is like a family,Katerina said.
“The kids look at thislike a second home; they
are my life. They are thereason why I want to wakeup in the morning,”Katerina said. “You lovethem more than your lifeyourself.”

OVIEDO VIOLATIONS
Spring clean
By Mike BalducciTHE CHRONICLE
After Oviedo High School was hit withfines and sanctions due to player-eligibilityviolations, Principal Robert Lundquist isready to move on from what he says hasbeen a nightmare, and he’s started by clean-ing house.
The Florida High School AthleticAssociation imposed a three-year ban onwrestling and volleyball postseason playafter discovering the violations and willrequire Oviedo to pay $57,000 in fees. Sixstudents — five wrestlers and one volley-ball player — were involved in a series ofviolations that included falsified addressesand recruiting from club teams.
It’s a harsh blow for an Oviedo wrestlingprogram that has established dominance inCentral Florida and has won five state titlessince 2004, including this season.
“I have never seen anything quite likethis in mycareer.I’ve
heard of recruitment violations, but neverlike this,” he said. “It’s certainly been anightmare for us and our goal is to clean ourhouse up and provide others with ways andmeans that they can avoid this happening tothem.”

Hopefully, she added,people will be inspired touse their bicycles to goshopping, too.

reduced.Walt Griffin, executive
director of SeminoleCounty secondary schools,said Oviedo will have to domore than rely on just ath-letic ticket sales for themoney.
“The gate prices aren’tgoing to do it, they’re goingto have to come up withsome specific fundraisingto help raise that money,”he said. “Schools do a vari-ety of things … teacher-vs.-student games, studentactivities … but they will bespecific to raising moneyfor this.”
Rob Thrift, incomingpresident of the OviedoAthletic Booster Club, willmake sure that no moneyraised through the clubwill go toward the fine.
“We have a tremendousbase of supporters andsponsors and parents whoare booster members whogive selflessly who give tothe booster club every yearwithout fail,” Thrift said.“None of their money willgo towards paying thefines.”
Thrift is one of manyparents upset with theactions of the few involved(and the “win at all costs”attitude of the coacheswho oversaw the viola-tions), but he also thinksthe restrictions are tooharsh and affect too manyinnocent students.
“With what happenedto the coaches, they’ll gosomewhere else and get ajob,” Thrift said. “But thechildren who worked agood portion of their life toget to the point they’re atwill be the ones that suffer.
The children will suffer forthe sins of the adults, andthat’s the ultimate shamein this.”
“The first thing I telleveryone is if the adultshad done with what theywere supposed to do, therewould be no student in thissituation,” Griffin said.“Students did not do thison their own. I’m upsetwith the adults. “
While Oviedo’s sanc-tions won’t kill the team,they do eliminate thechance for returningwrestlers and volleyballplayers to achieve “the ulti-mate goal,” Lundquist said,of winning a state title.
“The ones that are suf-fering in this are the onesthat have played by therules,” Thrift said. “Most ofthe young men on thewrestling team and most ofthe young ladies on the
volleyball team are per-fectly legal and zoned forOviedo High School andthey did the right thing.”
Lundquist doesn’t thinkthat the ban on postseasonplay will negatively affectany student vying for col-
lege scouts’ attention.“My message to the stu-
dent athletes is that youstill will have the opportu-nity to compete and besuccessful,” Lundquistsaid. “We will provideopportunities to be recog-
nized statewide at tourna-ments and we hope to con-tinue the Zak Jarzynka(wrestling) Tournament.”
The individuals andspecifics of the ineligibleathletes will be revealed inthe coming week.

Data collection: The privacy line
The following editorial appeared inthe Los Angeles Times on May 8.
Apple introduced its Macintosh com-puter in 1984 with a now-famous SuperBowl commercial that showed a lonerebel striking out against Big Brother.
So it was ironic that researchersrecently accused the company of anOrwellian intrusion into consumer pri-vacy: Its iPhones and iPads appeared tobe tracking their users’ movements.Apple eventually offered a rebuttal, andit hustled out a software update toaddress the concerns. Nevertheless, theepisode helped strengthen the push inCongress for some basic consumer pri-vacy protections.
Such safeguards are amply justified,given the burgeoning business that hasemerged around the collection and dis-semination of personal information. Butas the Apple controversy illustrates,there is an important distinctionbetween collecting information aboutindividuals and invading their privacy.
The brouhaha began late last monthafter researchers for the O’Reilly Radartechnology blog drew attention to a fileon iPhones and iPads that recorded theGPS coordinates of nearby Wi-Fi accesspoints and cellphone towers. The recordstretched back for months, with thelocation information time-stamped andfrequently updated.
The outcry lasted about a week, untilApple finally issued a statement declar-ing that it was “not tracking the locationof your iPhone.” The file in question, thecompany said, was a widely sourceddatabase of Wi-Fi and cellular land-marks used to calculate the device’slocation faster while using less batterypower. It acknowledged that its deviceswere sending location information backto Apple, but it insisted that the datawere anonymized and collected merelyto improve its databases of location andtraffic information.
Apple has updated its software tominimize the amount of location datastored on the devices, and the episodeseems to be over. The fuss it generated,though, is instructive. It shows thatmany people consider informationabout their location to be sensitive;they’re willing to share it as part of amobile service, but they don’t want it tobe recorded. It also shows that the publicrecoils from anything that smacks ofcorporate surveillance, even if the pur-ported snoop is a company that makes awildly popular product.
The public is concerned about beingtracked online too, and for good reason.Numerous companies are collecting vastamounts of information about individu-als’ browsing habits, sometimes combin-ing it with personal information gleanedfrom public records or disclosures madeon social networks. The collection anduse of these data may not only be invisi-ble to users but also surprising.
A good example is what Facebook isdoing with the “Like” button it has per-suaded more than 2.5 million websites todisplay. The button ostensibly lets Face-
book users recommend things theyencounter online — a blog post, forexample — to their friends on the socialnetwork. But researcher ArnoldRoosendaal of the Netherlands foundthat once a Facebook user has clicked ona single “Like” button, Facebook will bealerted to all of his or her subsequentvisits to any Web page with a “Like” but-ton. The company even tracks individu-als who aren’t Facebook members,Roosendaal reported, although it cannotidentify them by name.
Facebook’s approach is similar towhat many online advertising networksdo in order to target pitches based onpeople’s browsing behavior. To sometechnology advocates, this sort of datagathering is harmless. In fact, they say,“behavioral targeting” benefits Internetusers in at least two ways: It reduces thenumber of irrelevant ads they see, and itgenerates significantly more revenue forsites than non-targeted ads. That rev-enue helps sites offer content for free.
Individuals should have a say in thematter, however, when sensitive and per-sonally identifiable information is col-lected and shared. Simply using the Webshouldn’t be tantamount to consentingto electronic surveillance. The challengefor policymakers is figuring out how togive consumers the right degree of con-trol without making it impractical forcompanies to make innovative uses ofpersonal information — in other words,to balance privacy concerns against thedemand for ever-more-functionaldevices and services.
Several proposals are circulating inCongress, including a bill by Rep. CliffStearns, R-Fla., that would require com-panies to develop easy-to-understandprivacy policies and alert users whenthey decide to disclose or sell personallyidentifiable information; a measure bySens. John Kerry, D-Mass., and JohnMcCain, R-Ariz., that would requirecompanies to obtain users’ permissionbefore collecting sensitive personalinformation; and a proposal by Rep.Jackie Speier, D-Calif., to require the Fed-eral Trade Commission to adopt a sys-tem enabling consumers to preventcompanies from tracking their move-ments online.
We’ll save the discussion of the vari-ous proposals’ pros and cons for anotherday. For now, we urge lawmakers to stayout of the FTC’s way as it seeks toenforce the principles it recently enu-merated in a consent degree regardingGoogle Buzz, a social network that manyGoogle email users were thrust intounwittingly. Those include a duty todesign products and services to protectpersonal information against unintendeddisclosures, and to seek users’ permis-sion before making new and unexpecteduses of the information previously col-lected. Both of these ideas draw on theclear and straightforward “Fair Informa-tion Practices” that a federal advisorypanel laid out almost four decades ago— well before Apple warned SuperBowl audiences about Big Brother’s pry-ing electronic eyes.

Oviedo aims at underage selling
We will not have to worry aboutunderage selling much longer if the rateof store closures in Oviedo does notslow down. Every week another storecloses. Oviedo must lead the area invacant commercial properties.

No disrespect but less disposalincome equals struggling merchants.
RE OLIVEROVIEDO
I saw a situation where I felt a storewas set up. They sent a woman in whoclearly looked like she was in her midto late 30’s. The clerk started to ring upthe purchase and then stopped andasked for an ID. When the woman saidshe didn’t have it on her, she wasdenied the purchase. Upon existing,their were cops there, one who came inand commended the clerk for not sell-ing to the woman. I spoke to the clerkafterwards and we both felt it was moreof entrapment because they sent some-one in the store that I probably would-n’t have carded because she reallylooked so much older (but apparentlywas a minor). That I think is wrong.Just my opinion. But kudos to the clerk!
