Harmony’s Softball season as District 10 Champion ends in Regional Quarterfinals loss to Jupiter

Six walks along with some clutch two-out hitting by the opponent spelled defeat for Harmony’s softball team on Thursday night as the Longhorns saw their season come to an end with a 12-4 defeat to Jupiter in a Class 7A, Region 3 quarterfinal game.

Harmony, which entered regionals as the District 10 champion, finished the year with a 10-8 record. Jupiter, who came into the game as the second seed in the regional, went to 18-5 and advances to next week’s regional semifinal.

“I just told this group how much I loved them,” an emotional Harmony coach Kristi Mindrup said after the game. “This was a special team and a really special group of seniors. They lost most of their freshman year to Covid, struggled in their second year and then had a really good junior year where they won 70% of their games. Although our record wasn’t quite as good this year, we played a difficult schedule and we were in practically every game where hit here or there could have turned some of those games around. This team went out as district champions and they played hard every game and I am so very proud of what they accomplished.”

The game started off as a pitcher’s duel, as Harmony’s pitcher Lindsey Green retired the first six hitters she faced – striking out four. The Longhorns had a chance to break on top in their half of the second when they loaded the bases with just one out. But Jupiter pitcher Amanda Lieberman retired Shyanne Dumford on a pop out to short and then got Angelica Castro out on a comebacker to the mound to end the threat.

Man Shot, Killed after pointing gun at Osceola County Deputies, Sheriff says

Osceola County deputies shot and killed a man in Kissimmee Thursday after he pointed a gun at them, according to the sheriff.

Osceola County Sheriff Marco Lopez said there were several reports of a white man with a firearm just after 3:30pm at the Remington subdivision off Partin Settlement Road.

Several deputies responded to Remington Blvd & Club Villas Lane in Kissimmee. Upon arrival they saw an older, white male with a firearm. The male was given numerous verbal commands to put down the gun. Instead of complying with the verbal commands of the deputies, the white male raised the firearm and pointed it at one of the deputies.

“Three deputies responded to the scene, and they encountered this man with the firearm,” Sheriff Lopez said.

New Florida Panter license plate features famous female and her kitten

The Protect the Panther License Plate will soon have a new design featuring a stunning photograph taken by photographer Carlton Ward in 2018 of a now famous female and her kitten.

The adult female panther pictured on the plate is well known because she is the first female documented north of the Caloosahatchee River since 1973. She is also the first female documented to have had kittens north of the river in more than 40 years. For many years, the Caloosahatchee River appeared to be a major obstacle to northward movement of female panthers and the natural expansion of the population.

The Allen Apartments groundbreaking ceremony begins Beaumont redevelopment project

The City of Kissimmee hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday, May 4th, to mark the beginning of the construction of The Allen Apartments, the first phase of the Beaumont Redevelopment Project. The 20-acre project, located in the Downtown Kissimmee Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), aims to address the city’s need for additional housing options.

The development will feature 312 multi-family units available at market rate, as well as 16 units reserved for affordable housing. This will help the city extend the street grid and enhance connectivity to the Medical Arts District. The project has been in the planning stages for a long time and is part of the city’s long-term mission to augment the availability of housing in the Downtown Kissimmee area.

“The Allen Apartments Project really meets all the goals that the Kissimmee Commission has for making Downtown Kissimmee a place to live, work, recreate, and enjoy themselves,”: Kissimmee Manager Mike Steigerwald said after the groundbreaking.

Negron sends Kowboys to Regional Semifinals in Boys baseball after come from behind win

Senior Carlos Negron pitched six and one-third innings of one hit baseball and Jansel Nieves broke up a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the sixth with a two-run single as Osceola advanced in the FHSAA 7A baseball playoffs with a 6-3 win over Wellington on Wednesday night.

It was spectacular outing by Negron, a left-handed senior, as he entered the game in a difficult situation. Wellington chased Kowboy starter John Rodriguez from the game in the very first inning, giving up three hits and two walks as the Warriors took a 2-0 lead and had the bases loaded.

Negron would enter the game and strike out Riley Gonzalez to end the threat. He would then retire 15 of the next 16 batters he faced – striking out seven during that stretch; while allowing just two walks.

“Tremendous composure by Carlos,” coach Scott Birchler said. “ While he was fantastic the whole game, the one out he got for us in the first inning was huge for us. If they get another hit or two, it certainly would have changed the whole complexion of the game. Being down 2-0 in the first inning is a lot different than being down four or five runs.”

While Negron was keeping Wellington in check, Osceola was chipping away.

Nick Palmi would cut the deficit to one on the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the first by slamming a home run over the right-centerfield wall. “Another big moment for us,” Birchler said. “We cut the gap to one on the first pitch and when that happens, I think it calmed everything down for us.”

Osceola would tie the game in the third. Terry Cruz opened the inning with a walk, went to second on a Palmi single and both runners moved up on Jason Ramos’ sacrifice bunt. Luis Rodriguez would strike out, but Cruz would race home on a wild pitch by Blake Anderson.

Chief Holland began her term on Saturday, April 29, and will be sworn as the 29th Police Chief of the City of Kissimmee during the next city commission meeting on Tuesday, May 2.

I believe her prior experience leading the Polk County Sheriff’s training academy will be of great benefit in preparing future leaders within our agency.”

Mental Health apps: Do they work and how to pick one

Depressed? Anxious? Stressed out? There’s an app for that. In fact, there are some 25,000 mental health and wellness apps aimed at everything from eating disorders to PTSD to addiction.

With so many choices, it may be tough to figure out which one is right for you.

Used in conjunction with care from a mental health professional, so-called mHealth apps offer tips, advice, webinars and reminders that make self-care a part of your daily routine.

But if you’re using a mental health app without the partnership of a psychotherapist, it is more likely to provide you with limited benefits.

25,000 APPS, REALLY?

The growth of mHealth took off during the pandemic. We were forced to confront financial and physical health challenges, along with an unprecedented level of isolation and disruption to our normal lives and routines.

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.

Orlando Health: Hiking, biking, running, hight intensity excercises for heart health

Regular physical activity strengthens your muscles and joints, and it’s also key for heart health. Exercise helps your heart more efficiently pump blood and circulate oxygen, lowering your risk of cardiovascular conditions like heart failure and heart disease.

If you’re in good shape, highintensity activities such as hiking, biking and running can give your heart health a big boost. So get ready to lace up your sneakers, fill your tires or hit the trails.

Here are tips to safely make the most of your workout.

Hiking: Hitting the Trails Helps Your Heart

Hiking forces your heart to pump harder, particularly when you choose a route with an uneven trail or incline. The increased blood flow is essential to circulate nutrients and oxygen-rich blood to your muscles, especially your legs. There are mental health benefits, too. Hiking lowers your stress levels and improves your mental health, which is connected to heart health. Research shows that stress raises your blood pressure, increasing the risk of hypertension.

How to get the most from your hike: Join a hiking club or hike with a few friends to stay motivated. If you’re hiking a trail with a higher elevation, the more difficult it will be. As the altitude increases, your heart will pump blood harder to balance the decreased air pressure. If you’re just starting out, tackle shorter, gradual incline trails first.

Biking: Cycling Tops for Cardio Health

Biking is a lower-impact exercise that also can help you condition your heart. Many athletes who bike have lower resting heart rates. This means your heart is working optimally, since a lower resting rate means more blood is pumped with every contraction, maintaining an efficient heartbeat.
