The Teen Driver Challenge is a prime example of this dedication to fostering responsible driving behavior.

AAA Urges Drivers to Stay Alert as Students Return to School

Osceola County roads are about to get more crowded – and hazardous as nearly 70,000 students prepare to return to school in the Osceola County School District. This time of year is particularly dangerous due to the combination of young inexperienced drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists who will all share the road in the early morning and afternoon hours.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 64 percent of child pedestrians killed in traffic crashes occurred during the weekday (6 a.m. Monday to 6:00 p.m. Friday) in 2021 (NHTSA Traffic Safety Facts).

Orlando Health: Cottage Cheese: The Protein

Powerhouse That’s a Dreamy, Creamy TikTok Hit

More than 550 million views on TikTok can’t be wrong: Cottage cheese is hot. Blended into ice cream or bread dough or straight off the spoon, it’s fun to watch Gen Z discover the creamy goodness your grandmother loved.

But cottage cheese goes back further than that — curdled-milk cheese is mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey, and there’s evidence of its existence in the Middle East as early as 5,000 B.C. So why the hullabaloo now?

Some put it down to Americans’ insatiable taste for soft and creamy comfort foods. But cottage cheese has survived the eons for a good reason: It’s packed with protein. One cup can contain as much as 25 grams, the equivalent of a double cheeseburger. But as with that burger, there can be other things to be aware of, like the amount of salt and added sugar.

INJURY LAW

Draper Law: Which vehicles are more likely to be involved in serious or fatal accidents?

Sadly, serious and fatal accidents take place on a daily basis in Central Florida. These crashes can happen in a number of ways and can be caused by not following traffic laws, inexperience, intoxication, distracted driving, fatigue, and medical issues.

Statistics show that fatal car accidents can often occur based on the type of vehicle. You may think that sports cars are most likely to be in crashes due to their speed and performance. However, according to the NHTSA, it’s the everyday cars, trucks, and SUVs on the roadways that are involved more frequently in serious or even deadly accidents, with sedans and pickup trucks accounting for more than three-quarters of fatal accidents. If you drive out on the roadways, here’s what you need to know about which vehicles have been involved in many of the crashes.

HEALTH

We are all susceptible to falls. But, older adults have an increased risk of falling, and the harm sustained can be more complicated than just your average cut, scrape or bruise. Serious injuries may occur in the form of fractured or broken bones and internal bleeding.

Each year, more than three million people 65 and older are treated in emergency rooms for fall injuries. Unfortunately, fewer than half of them follow up with their primary physician about the accident, increasing the likelihood of another fall. Proper follow-up care can be instrumental in helping to identify and minimize risks for future falls.

WHY DO OLDER PEOPLE FALL?

Falls can occur for a variety of reasons. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists these common causes:

• Impaired vision—as you get older, your vision may not be as clear, making it more difficult to see tripping hazards.

• Health conditions–diabetes, heart disease and other health issues can affect your balance.

• Medications— sedatives and antidepressants can make you dizzy or sleepy. Other over-the-counter medicines may also lead to conditions that alter your balance.

• Weakness—can contribute to imbalance and falls.

• Vitamin D deficiency—a lack of bone strength can lead to weakness and falls.

• Foot pain or poor footwear—increase likelihood of tripping/falling.

• Hazards in the home—throw rugs that present tripping hazards or broken or uneven steps can increase the risk of falls.

Osceola County Commissioners Unanimously Approve Partin Settlement Road Project

The Osceola County Commission unanimously approved the contract for the Partin Settlement Road project on Monday. By going from two lanes to four, the county says the plan will transform Partin Settlement into a modern, efficient, and safe corridor over its 2.7-mile length that runs from Neptune Road to Lakeshore Boulevard.

Partin Settlement Road is one of five critical road improvement projects that have been made possible through an allocation of $220 million bond from the refinancing of the Osceola Parkway. The completion of the first project, the extension of Bill Beck Boulevard, earlier this year, demonstrated the county’s commitment to executing and delivering impactful infrastructure projects.
