Share the beach with Sea Turtles this holiday weekend, and given them some space!

This World Turtle Day, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reminds the public that as we enjoy our beaches this Memorial Day weekend, everyone can help sea turtles have a successful nesting season by giving them space, removing beach furniture at night, keeping beaches clean and dark, and never disturbing their nests.

Florida’s sandy beaches provide important spring and summer nesting habitat for several species of federally threatened and endangered sea turtles, including loggerhead, leatherback and green sea turtles, with occasional nesting by federally endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtles.

AAA urges motorists to get your vehicle inspected before heading out this holiday weekend!

More than 2.1 million Floridians are forecast to take a road trip for Memorial Day. Unfortunately, thousands of them will experience car trouble. Nationwide, AAA expects to rescue more than 483,000 stranded motorists, during the holiday weekend. The three most common reasons are flat tires, dead batteries, and lockouts.

A recent AAA survey found that 52% of Floridians plan to get a professional vehicle inspection before their summer road trips. A fifth of drivers (19%) will conduct their own inspection. However, 21% of Floridians say they have no plans to get a vehicle inspection before hitting the road this summer.

Just last year, we saw an overall increase of 36%, and Osceola County alone saw a 27% increase. These numbers are devastating and indicate a growing problem that cannot be ignored.

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.

Great seaosn ends for Celebration Storm volleyball, Harmony’s Drea Thompson earns all-state in track

An outstanding season came to an end for the Celebration boys’ volleyball team in the state championship tournament, as they dropped a heartbreaking five-set decision to #2 ranked Winter Park High School. In other sports, four athletes from the county earned All-State honors in individual events and one county relay team reached the podium at the FHSAA State Track and Field Championship.

A look around Osceola County:

FHSAA BOYS’ VOLLEYBALL STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

Although its season ended on Friday in the FHSAA State Quarterfinals, there absolute little doubt that the Storm had one of the best teams in Florida this year. Holding their own while playing numerous top 15 teams during the regular season, Celebration (2110) suffered a heartbreaking five-set loss to #2 ranked Winter Park (27-3) at the state tournament being held at Polk State College in Winter Haven this past weekend.

The Storm dropped the first set 25-22, but came back to win back-to-back sets by 2522 and 25-17 margins – leaving Celebration just one game short of pulling the upset and advancing to the semifinals. But Winter Park came back with a vengeance, pulling out a three-point win in Set 4 (25-22) before edging the Storm out in the deciding “Race to 15” fifth set, 15-12.

As has been the case all season, senior Darion Graham and junior Diego Rivera led the Storm offense with 23 and 21 kills respectively. Libero Keith Harrison had 29 digs. Cole Colado had 18 kills to lead Winter Park; Jacob Little added three blocks at the net.

“I thought we came out a little nervous and tight in the first set and then we dominated the next two games,” Celebration coach Pedro Davila said. “Unfortunately we could just not close it out. We did not start out on a good foot this year (Celebration lost four of their first five matches) but this team came together and by the end of the season, we were playing with, and beating some of the best teams in the state.”

Orlando Health: Why Women Get Insomnia and How To Get Better Sleep

Insomnia is a common condition, but women have more trouble sleeping than men. It’s estimated that one in every four women get insomnia, compared with one in every five men. A combination of physical and mental factors account for the difference, from menopause to pregnancy to depression. That’s why it’s especially important for women to practice good “sleep hygiene” to help ensure they get a good night of rest to prepare for the day ahead.

What Interferes with Women’s Sleep?

Multiple health factors in both men and women can lead to insomnia, including pulmonary and cardiac disorders, hypertension and chronic pain. Medications for those conditions may contribute to sleep disorders.

Sleep problems also are more common for both men and women as we age. But for older women, menopause makes insomnia even more likely. Hot flashes and night sweats can wake women up and then make it difficult to go back to sleep. These symptoms can last months or years.

KUA tips for safeguarding your home and family during the 2023 Hurricane Season

The 2023 Atlantic Hurricane season is nearly here! The hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30 each year and can be a scary time for some. Remember these simple tips from Kissimmee Utility Authority to keep safe before, during and after the storm.

Before the Hurricane

KUA recommends having most of your family’s emergency preparations completed in advance. By the time a storm watch or warning is issued for your area, there shouldn’t be much left to prepare.

Always check food, water, first aid, batteries, pet and other stored supplies to ensure they’re fresh and ready to use. Fill your car with gas and check the oil and tires. If there’s a chance you’ll have to evacuate, put anything you may need in your car.

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: make that endless cold a thing of the past: steps to take for a healthy body

We know that germs can make you sick, but if you seem to constantly be under the weather with cold symptoms, could it be something other than germs that are getting you down?

If the symptoms are severe (high fever, significant pain, etc.,) you should seek medical treatment. But, if the symptoms are tolerable—but frustrating in their longevity, you might do a little detective work to find out what may be causing trouble. What exactly are the symptoms? When did they begin and how long have they been going on? Does any activity, environment or food seem to trigger them?

The Never-Ending Cold—or Is It?

If you frequently have cold symptoms, such as sneezing and a stuffy or runny nose, you might have allergies. More than 50 million people in the U.S. have allergy symptoms each year, with hay fever being the most common allergic disease.

Allergies are your immune system’s overreaction to substances, resulting in sneezing, coughing and, in some cases, itching. If you invariably get a long lasting “cold” every spring or fall, it could be a reaction to spring or fall foliage. An illness that comes on suddenly, perhaps including itchy eyes, coughing and a runny nose, but no fever could be an allergy. If you think you may have an allergy, talk with your doctor about options, such as over the counter and prescription medicines.

On the other hand, if you get a cold and recover from it, only to get another one a few weeks later, you might consider tweaks to your lifestyle that might boost your immune system.

• Stop smoking. We know smoking is bad for health, but when combined with a cold, it can lead to increased lung inflammation and damage.
