High School Time Changes
High school sports may suffer next year due to budget cuts. Orange County schools changed the times that school started. The times for high schools and middle schools were switched so that high school students wouldn’t start until 9:30 and middle school students would start at 7:20.
Athletics on campus can hold practices from 6:30 to 8:45 a.m. Off campus sports can begin as early as 6 a.m. After school, practices and games usually begin at 4:30 p.m. and can last until 7:30 at night. For games, the schools have been utilizing Wednesdays (which have an hour less of school) and Saturdays.
Because of the accommodations that needed to be made for athletics, all clubs have been asked to meet during lunch hours.
Another sport has also been added to Orange County schools: girls’ flag football.
Budget Cuts for Florida Schools
Schools throughout all of Florida are receiving severe budget cuts as a result of the poor economy. Between this school year and the 2009-2010 school year, Brevard County alone will suffer a cut of over $14 million. Volusia with the second highest reduction will be losing $9.5 million. Orange County, although only the third on the list, will suffer the most. Orange County has nearly three times as many students as the other two counties mentioned.
These budget cuts are evident in all of the schools, however. Seminole County will lose $2 million. Lack of funds have affected more than just the school’s teachers and administration. This year, Seminole County’s Hagerty High School ran out of athletic funds before the spring season began. This caused all athletes to rely on fundraisers for all of their expenses.
Also at Hagerty High School, breakfast used to be free for all students. Now not only are the schools charging for breakfast, but the prices are going to rise next year. The lunch prices have already received an increase in pricing from the 2007-2008 school year to this year. It will now face another rise.
Hagerty High School has decided to take action. All teachers have asked their students to write letter to the state legislatures and the governor. Some have even offered extra credit.

- Cancer SUCKS
This past weekend I participated in an event called Relay for Life. Relay for Life is a 24-hour walk-a-thon for cancer awareness. The event I attended was at a local middle school, Lawton Chiles. Lost loved ones are honored as well as the currently diagnosed and survivors of cancer.
Every year local clubs, teams, and oraganiztions place booths around the track or walking area. These booths sell items, food, raffles, and more to raise money for cancer research. There are also games or activities that occur all night long to keep people awake and raise even more money. This year’s theme was “Cancer is No Fairy Tale”. Surrounding the track was approximately 30 booths. Each booth featured a fairy tale and had decorations and costumes related to their theme.
I was with the Photography Club from Hagerty High School and we raised about $300. Unfortunately, we started late and it was also our first year, so we didn’t do nearly as well as the other teams.
There is going to be another Relay for Life in the Oviedo area on May 15th at Shane Kelly Park on Lockwood Blvd. The event starts at 6:00 on Friday, May 15th and runs into Saturday May 16th.
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

TESTIMONIALS
Thank you very much once again for your guidance in selecting a Townhouse for my daughter. Your straightforward and professional approach was not only impressive but greatly appreciated ! Rene
A Long Enjoyable Relationship: “Over the year that it took to sell our house in Knoxville and buy a house in Winter Springs I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Richard Shuman. From the beginning he understood what we wanted to buy. He took us to a good selection of homes in Winter Springs and we managed to refine what and where we were hoping to buy. When our house in Knoxville finally sold Richard moved into high gear with us to find an excellent house and help us negotiate a good deal. He handled all the transactions, including our mortgage, with a high degree of professional competence and efficiency. Our closing went smoothly and effortlessly and we moved in just 7 days after closing on the sale of our Knoxville house. Perfect timing! My wife and I recommend Richard, especially to “experienced” buyers, because of his ability to quickly learn what the buyers are looking to purchase and then his laser sharp focus on helping them find it.” Dave W.
Great Experience!! “Richard was everything that I wanted in a realtor!! He listened to what I wanted and delivered. I flew in from Ohio for a weekend in order to buy a house. We went out and in one day had the offer accepted on a wonderful house. He continued to help me throughout the closing process and even set me up with a great insurance agent. I would definitely recommend Richard to anyone that is looking to buy or sell a home with out dealing with all the BULL!! Thank you so much Richard!!” Dr Marian M.
“Richard was very helpful in the search for our home. He went out of his way to take us around to different locations meeting our criteria, even one that was not on our list-which is the one we bought! He was very prompt in returning calls and aiding us with financing. He played the advocate for us with our mortgage lender. The whole process was pleasant and almost stress free.” Amanda H.
The same consideration should be given to hiring a REALTOR & Mortgage Broker as hiring any other professional. When I look for a doctor, accountant or attorney, I want someone that is well educated, has experience, ethics and a track record of satisfied client. What is most important is I want direct answers to direct questions!!! That’s why I picked www.SKIPtheBULL.com I don’t play games with my clients! If you want someone to sugar coat bad news, tell you your home is worth more than it is, tell you can get a great rate on a loan with bad credit, then hire someone else! If you want a relatively STRESS FREE transaction, Call, email, Txt or visit my website 7 days a week! No Games ~ No Gimmicks ~ No Bull www.SKIPtheBULL.com
