For Orlando Health cancer patient and saxophonist John Harmon, avoiding trauma of traveling for treatment made all the difference

John Harman loved his life — surfing, biking, fishing and relishing the natural world. He was a professional saxophonist whose work brought joy to others. He and his wife had a 12-year-old daughter they adored.

He’d always had allergies, so when a nasal drip lasted for months at the end of 2020, he didn’t think much about it. Harman, 56, hadn’t needed to see a doctor in years.

Osceola deputy faces charges a year after a taser-related fire incident at Wawa gas pump

Osceola County Deputy David Crawford has been formally charged after being accused of starting a fire with his Taser at an Orange County Wawa in 2022 that left a man badly burned across 75% of his body.

Crawford faces a charge of culpable negligence with personal injury, a first-degree misdemeanor, according to the Orange-Osceola state attorney’s office. If convicted, Crawford could face a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

When the incident took place more than a year ago, Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez said he was recommending charges against Crawford.

Osceola History’s “Walk Away May” continues through May as members of the community “walk on the Shingle Creek trail” to experience the beauty and history of Osceola County, while staying healthy, and possibly win some great prizes! The event’s feature sponsor is Kissimmee Utility Authority!

Osceola History’s “Walk Away May” encourages the community to live a healthy lifestyle while building awareness of Osceola History’s two museums, Pioneer Village, located at 2491 Babb Road, and the Welcome Center & History Museum, located at 4155 West Vine Street, in Kissimmee.

Osceola High School’s longtime Baseball coach Scott Birchler stepping down

After two stints and 21 seasons with Scott Birchler at the helm, Osceola High School will be looking for a new head baseball coach. Birchler, the all-times win leader in the school’s history, announced his retirement at the team’s annual baseball banquet on Wednesday night.

Birchler steps down after another successful campaign, where the Kowboys – despite playing one of the toughest schedules in the state – went 16-10, won a district championship, won a regional quarterfinal and then took eventual regional champion Park Vista to the limit in losing a 3-1 decision.

“No one thing led up to this decision,” Birchler said. “It’s always tough to figure out when it’s the right time to leave. I started to think about this last year when my son Blake was a senior and after this season, it just felt like the right time. Being the head baseball coach at a school like Osceola is a time-consuming job and honestly there is more to my life than just baseball. Trying to be a good husband, a good father and a good grandfather is extremely important to me and by stepping down it will give me more time to focus on those things.”

That game marked the end of a remarkable coaching career, where Birchler came to the school in 1993 as a teaching intern and assistant baseball coach but was thrust into the role of interim head coach with the sudden departure of Rob Beach.

He would remain head coach until 2000, when he resigned after winning the first of his eight district championships to become an assistant coach at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando. “My wife was pregnant and I felt I was needed a lot more around the house than on a baseball field,” Birchler said. “Dr. Phillips didn’t have lights at the time, they played afternoon games and being an assistant is a lot less time consuming that being a head coach. I just felt it was the right thing to do.”

Orlando Health: 15 ways to stay safe on your bike

Bicycle safety is basically rider safety. You should go out, enjoy our beautiful city and exercise using your bicycle, but you should do so as safely as possible.

While youth (aged 5-19 years) have the highest rate of nonfatal bicycle accidents, adults aged 5059 have the highest rate of fatalities, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In more than a third of bicycle fatalities, alcohol is involved. Male riders are six times more likely to die and four times more likely to be injured than their female counterparts.

Most bicyclist deaths occur in urban areas and at non-intersection locations, so it’s important to plan ahead before you ride. If you’re new to cycling or rusty, practice in a park, quiet neighborhood or parking lot before entering street traffic. The most common injuries related to bicycling are fractures of the wrist, elbow or clavicle, but by following sound protocols, you can maintain wellness and reduce your chances of injury.

INJURY LAW

Draper Law: Even minor car accidents can cause back injuries, don’t wait to seek medical attention

Car accidents can happen in an instant. Even though these crashes happen quickly, recovery is not always quick and easy. A car accident can cause a variety of injuries, including back injuries. Even a minor crash can cause back injuries because the back tends to absorb most of the impact in an accident.

If you have suffered a back injury, seek prompt medical treatment. These injuries can be hard to treat, and sometimes can lead to secondary medical issues, such as hypotension, osteoporosis, pressure ulcers, sleep apnea, bowel problems, urinary tract infections, sexual dysfunction, and more. Draper Law Office understands how serious a back injury can be. These injuries can be long-lasting and costly to treat. Schedule a consultation by filling out the online form or by calling their office at (407) 846.0075.

FAMILY LAW

Draper Law: Showing positive parenting

When parents of minor children divorce, it can be several years before their involvement with the court will end. Ideally, both parties will abide by their thoughtfully created parenting agreement and make changes which support their children’s wellbeing. However, as time passes and circumstances change, it is not uncommon for parents to disagree about what is in the best interest of their kids. A parent may also claim the other does not have good parenting abilities and seek to make legal changes to the parenting plan. In this situation, the other parent may have to provide evidence of their positive parenting skills.

The Draper Law Office has attorneys who are experienced with helping clients with child custody and parenting time issues and can help. Call 407.846.0075 today or go to DraperLawOffice.com to set up your free, no-obligation consultation in one of their three locations: St. Cloud, Kissimmee, and Orlando.

HEALTH

Orlando Health: 7 ways to keep an exercise schedule going strong through summer

Exercising during the summer months ought to be easy. As our days get warmer, it’s generally easier to fit a run or walk in. But summer is also a time to slip out of regular routines — especially if your kids are out of school and schedules have shifted.

The American Heart Association recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week. If you’re just starting an exercise program or want to keep one going, here are seven ways to keep summer schedules from derailing your fitness efforts.

The American Heart Association recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week.

1. Start small. Many exercisers start off with a big plan — to run three miles without stopping or to exercise every day for a week. But the body needs time to adjust to those new physical demands, and if you start too much too soon, the mental and physical effort can be too much. Instead, start with a small goal, perhaps a 10 minute walk, a walk/run combination for a mile or a twice-weekly exercise schedule. It’s more reinforcing to start small and accomplish the goal than set a tough goal that you give up on.

2. Switch up your summer routine to make exercising more convenient. Instead of driving across town during rush hour to go to the gym, consider fitting exercise into your current activities. Run around the track during your daughter’s soccer practice. With daylight lasting longer, introduce a new activity of after-dinner walks with the family, or a game of 21 at the basketball court at the park.

3. Make exercise social and fun. Join a team to play a sport, train for a race or be a gym buddy. Knowing someone will miss you if you don’t show up can be a powerful motivator. And, by finding activities that you enjoy, you may get your steps in without even noticing.
