Who says boozy cocktails should 

have all the fun? Invite sparkling 

pink lemonade to the party by 

serving it in a champagne flute 

garnished with a strawberry, or 

celebrate summer with a blackberry 

sage spritzer sipped from a 

mason jar with a decorative straw. 

Sparkling alcohol-free drinks are the 

perfect way for everyone to cool 

off and celebrate the flavors of the 

season. 

Flavor Fundamentals 

The key to a sophisticated sparkler 

is to layer the flavors just like 

a traditional cocktail. Start with 

muddled herbs, berries or citrus; 

add fruit juice puree or nectar and 

some sparkling water; and finish 

off with a thin slice of fruit or a few 

berries. 

Flavored balsamic vinegars make 

an easy base for a refreshing lowcalorie 

alternative to sugary sodas. 

Fill a tall glass with ice, add 2 to 

3 tablespoons of flavored balsamic 

vinegar (ginger blackberry is 

FOODIE FOR 

fantastic), and top it off with club 

soda. 

Keeping simple syrup on hand 

makes it easy to sweeten any chilled 

beverage. Just heat 1 cup of water 

and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan 

until dissolved. For an extra dose of 

flavor, add a mint or rosemary sprig, 

vanilla bean, ginger slice or piece of 

citrus rind to the mixture as it cools. 

Store the infused syrup in the fridge 

and add a dash to your next drink. 

Add Some Sparkle 

“Fizzy” spells fun when it comes 

to summertime. Add club soda, flavored 

sparkling water, ginger ale or 

lemon-lime soda to infused syrups or 

combinations of muddled herbs and 

fruits.

Summer Sparklers 

Festive Nonalcoholic Drinks Delight & Refresh 

by Kirsten Harrington 

Finish With a Twist 

Instead of a little pink umbrella, 

give your drink the finish it deserves 

with a few raspberries skewered 

onto a fresh rosemary sprig, a 

small purple orchid, a wedge of 

pineapple, or a citrus twist. Simply 

cut a 3- to 4-inch piece of lemon, 

lime or orange zest and wrap it 

around the end of a wooden spoon. 

Cover it with plastic wrap for an 

hour until the zest holds its shape. 

Float the spiral in the drink or 

hang it on the glass for an elegant 

garnish. 

For an added touch, decorate the 

rim of the glass with colored sanding 

sugars mixed with crushed cookies, 

freeze-dried berries or cocoa nibs. 

Place the ingredients on a plate, 

wet the glass with water or a lemon 

wedge, and dip the glass into the 

mixture, rotating the glass to cover 

the entire rim, letting it dry before 

serving. 

Ice cubes are another way to add 

a layer of flavor and visual appeal. 

Berries and water frozen in mini-ice 

cube trays look stunning in sparkling 

drinks, and frozen cubes of 

watermelon or peach puree keep 

things cool without diluting the 

flavor. 

Watermelon 

Lime Sparkler 

Ingredients: 

1 cup frozen watermelon chunks, 

seeds removed 

2 tablespoons frozen limeade 

concentrate 

1/4 cup lemon-lime soda (Sprite, 

7 Up, Sierra Mist) 

3 to 4 ice cubes

Pre-Nuptial Agreements 

by: Kristen M. Jackson / Attorney 

German philosopher, 

Friedrich Nietzsche said 

of marriage, “it is not the 

lack of love, but a lack 

of friendship that makes 

unhappy marriages.” Albert Einstein said of marriage, “Men marry women 

with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they 

will change. Invariably they are both disappointed.” 

Marriage is supposed to be that divine moment which begins with 

so many good, sincere and loving things to say about each other and the 

euphoric intent of spending the rest of your lives together in wedded bliss. 

The church believes that all marriages are made in heaven, but then, so are 

thunder and lightning. The unfortunate reality is that marriage can become 

the most advanced form of warfare whereby, according to most statistics, 

about 50% of all marriages end in divorce. It is something to give you pause 

if you are bringing a lot of assets and property to the marriage and even 

greater pause if it is your second or third marriage and you have children 

substantial assets from a prior marriage. 

And what is marriage? Although 13 states have common law statutes, all 

50 states have marriage contracts. And exactly what is a marriage contract? 

Simply said, it is an agreement between 2 parties that agree to love and trust 

each another until death do they part. Unfortunately, when the trust is 

broken and divorce is inevitable, it gives courts the mechanism to enforce 

emotional and equitable fairness. So if most couples, prior to marriage, are 

happy and satisfied to sign a marriage contract, what is their fear of signing 

a pre-nuptial agreement (Prenup)? The purpose of a Prenup is typically 

to prevent assets or individually owned property from ever becoming 

marital property. 

Unlike a marriage contract that characterizes all of the blissful, loving, 

and joyful decisions to marry, a Prenup often feels more like a painful 

thorn in the sides of one or both partners. Basically, a Prenup states that 

“although I love you unconditionally, our love is conditional and if we 

divorce, what is mine shall remain only mine and only what we acquire 

during marriage is ours.” It may sound harsh but consider the following 

example. 

Four years following the clamorous and horrific divorce from her 

first husband, Alice fell head over heels in love with Joseph and they 

decided to marry. She brought to their marriage 2 minor children 

from her first marriage, a successful career and $650,000 in assets that 

included a furnished home, a substantial 401k and IRA, luxury car 

and bank accounts. Joseph brought to the marriage only a decent job 

and his undying love for Alice and her children. It was no surprise to 

Joseph when Alice asked him to sign a prenuptial agreement should their 

marriage fall apart as did her first. 

Whether you are contemplating your first, second or third marriage, 

if you are bringing a substantial amount of property and assets to a 

marriage, you should discuss your estate with 

both your fiancée and an estate planning 

attorney before you say “I do”.

Most people come to Florida for its 

man-made attractions — SeaWorld 

Orlando, Universal Orlando Resort 

and Walt Disney World Resort — 

however, in picturesque Winter Park, 

it is all about natural attractions and 

sights; one attraction being that of 

the treasured Scenic Boat Tour 

that has been generating oohs and 

aahs from visitors and residents for 

decades. 

Started in 1938 by the Meloon 

family, the boat tour takes people of 

all ages through the scenic canals 

nestled within the city to view historic 

homes, iconic structures and the 

beautiful, private campus of Rollins 

College. 

The tour shows people a different 

side of Central Florida that takes 

them back to a time when the state 

was mostly known for its chains of 

lakes and natural surroundings. 

“Winter Park architecture is interesting 

and not what people think when 

they think of Florida: beaches, theme 

parks, etc.,” said Ron Hightower, 

owner/manager of Scenic Boat Tour 

for almost 25 years. “We do hear 

NOTEWORTHY 

a lot [from visitors] that it is a nice 

break from the theme parks.” 

The tour originally began when 

two brothers — one being Walter 

C. Meloon, who established

Winter Park. 

the boat-manufacturing company 

Correct Craft — decided to invest 

in a boat tour that would feature the 

charming flora and fauna of Winter 

Park. 

Today, 80 years after its 1938 

launch, the Scenic Boat Tour still recognizes 

the originality of the historic 

homes and locations that are in and 

around Lake Osceola, as well as 

Florida’s native occupants of alligators, 

fish and birds, through its hourlong, 

18-person pontoon tours. 

“We have always tried to keep the 

tour as close to the original format 

as possible,” said Ron, whose grandfather 

was one of the knowledgeable 

tour guides before purchasing 

the touring business in 1995. “My 

grandfather started working with the 

boat tour in 1970, so I grew up here 

and came down to the tour as a kid. 

It has stayed with me over the years.” 

Even if the tour has remained the 

same for years, you never know what 

you might see — animal, human or 

sight — while taking the excursion. 

It is not uncommon to see the Rollins 

crew team practicing boat drills on 

the lake, and, in 2013, the Capen 

House was floated across the water 

to its new location.

BUSINESS 

It’s summer. You get home from 

work and are too hot and exhausted 

to even think about cleaning 

your house. Besides, you want to 

be outside enjoying longer daylight 

hours. On weekends, you want to 

take day trips with the kids to the 

beach, or you just want to hang 

out at the pool with a cool drink in 

your hand. The last thing you want 

to think about is dusting, scrubbing 

and vacuuming. You need 

Molly Maid! 

Founded in 1979, Molly Maid 

quickly became one of the most-trusted 

names in home-cleaning services. 

Molly Maid is an international business 

with more than 400 individual 

franchisees throughout the world. 

Each franchise is locally owned and 

operated. 

In the Orlando area, there are 

five local franchises, each with a 

specific “protected” territory. If a 

client contacts a franchise not in 

their designated area, they are referred 

to the correct one. The five 

territories work in support of each 

other and share local and regional 

marketing. 

For the west side of Orange 

County and the southern half of Lake 

County, the office for Molly Maid 

is located at 1101 S. Park Ave. in 

PROFILE 

A Respected Name in Home Service 

You Can Clean, or You Can Call Molly Maid! 

Molly Maid cleaning professionals arrive at their clients’ homes in a signature decal 

vehicle. 

Winter Garden. The owner/operator 

is Steve Hoffman. 

Mr. Hoffman has owned his franchise 

for 13 years. He considers himself 

a hands-on owner. He doesn’t 

just spend “some time” in the office. 

He is there first thing in the morning 

when each of the two-person teams 

is dispatched. And, he is there when 

they return with reports about their 

day. He employs 30 professionally 

trained cleaners. 

The cleaning professionals arrive 

in a Molly Maid-signature vehicle, 

dressed in matching uniforms. They 

bring their own cleaning supplies 

and are insured and bonded. The 

team understands what needs to 

be done, and they get right to it. If 

there is something the team misses 

or something not cleaned to a customer’s 

satisfaction, Molly Maid will 

return free-of-charge. 

According to Mr. Hoffman, “Each 

client can make [his/her] own schedule 

based on [his/her] cleaning 

needs.” Molly Maid does not issue 

contracts to clients, but “works with 

the needs of the customer.” 

There are many types of cleaning 

arrangements that can be 

made besides becoming a regular 

once-a-week or once-a-month 

customer.

Molly Maid offers occasional 

cleaning for special life events. For 

example, if you are about to bring 

home a newborn baby, a cleaning 

team can make your home germ-free. 

Another popular service is movein 

and move-out cleaning. Moving 

from one home to another can be a 

time of upheaval and stress. Molly 

Maid can make your move go much 

easier by leaving your old home 

spotless and your new home clean 

and welcoming. 

You can also tell Molly Maid which 

specific rooms you want cleaned. It 

doesn’t have to be the whole house. 

For example, your college student’s 

room may only need to be cleaned 

occasionally, before they return 

home for school breaks. 

The first visit to a home is always 

a “deep clean,” which establishes 

the level of cleanliness to be maintained. 

The cost of that visit will be 

a bit higher than subsequent visits. 

But the cost of Molly Maid service is 

quite competitive. 

Our goal is to “offer high-end, 

premium service to the middle-class

customer,” Mr. Hoffman said. “I want 

our customers to think of us as valuable 

and affordable.” 

Molly Maid also offers gift certificates, 

a perfect gift for any occasion. 

When asked about Molly Maid’s 

contribution to the Greater Orlando 

community, Mr. Hoffman was 

2018 

proud to relay information about 

the Ms. Molly Foundation. A portion 

of each clean goes to supporting 

domestic violence prevention 

programs for hundreds of local 

safe houses and shelters. For the 

past 20 years, all franchises have 

held a national drive in October. 

Last year, Hoffman’s franchise donated 

$2,000 to SafeHouse of 

Seminole. 

Mr. Hoffman wants Molly Maid 

to be “the most recognized, admired 

and respected name in home 

service.” 

Let him prove it to you! 

Molly Maid’s cleaning hours are Monday through 

Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and by special request 

on Saturday. For a free estimate, call 407-877-0184

As summer winds down, children’s thoughts across Southwest Orlando will 

inevitably turn to the first day of school. The school year, which begins Aug. 

13 for public schools, is less than a month away, and students and their families 

can get a head start by preparing now. The beginning of school is an 

exciting time, but some might worry about what the coming year may hold. 

Southwest Orlando Bulletin’s 21st annual Back to School section provides 

a comprehensive look at a variety of school-related topics. In the following 

articles, area experts offer insights into different concerns often brought 

about by the start of a new school year. For students, there are articles about 

makeup tips and homework resources. For parents, there is information about 

dental hygiene, stress management for the family, and more. 

• Nervous Parents & Kids 

by Syed O. Quadri, M.D. 

Adult, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist 

Psych Pointe of Florida 

407-270-7702 

www.psychpointe.com 

Parents, it’s time to buckle up as 

children will soon be heading back 

to school. Some kids struggle with 

poor grades and behavioral problems 

because of undiagnosed or 

poorly treated attention deficit hyperactivity 

disorder (ADHD/ADD or 

inattentive/hyperactive/mixed). This 

is a time for parents to take action. 

The following are strategies that 

can help children and parents 

succeed: 

• Learn about ADHD and its related 

mood and behavioral problems. 

• Get an evaluation from a child 

psychiatrist as soon as possible. 

• Get help from a therapist who 

can work with you and your child. 

• Be ready to make some changes 

at home. 

• Get necessary accommodations, 

recommended by the psychiatrist, at 

the child’s school. Examples include 

an Individualized Education Program 

(IEP) and a 504 Plan. There is a 

law that helps to serve the educational 

needs of eligible students with 

disabilities. 

• Rethink all the strategies and 

medications used in the past. 

• Tooth Decay in Children 

by Sonia Simmonds, D.D.S. 

Simmonds Dental Center 

321-558-7635 

simmondsdentalcenter.com 

Tooth decay in children often results 

in having a tooth extracted. An 

extraction can be a cause for alarm 

for the child, and this alarm could 

extend to their parents, as well. For 

this reason, it appears that not all 

parents are diligent in having their 

children’s teeth treated, and delaying 

treatment can lead to a toothache 

and add disruption to a child’s 

daily life. This is why back-to-school 

exams are so important! 

A tooth extraction for a child can 

be a scary procedure since he/she 

does not know what to expect and 

will often worry that the procedure 

will hurt. Dental caries, or tooth decay, 

could lead to other more serious 

conditions if they’re not attended to 

immediately. So, if your child needs 

to undergo a tooth extraction, but 

he/she is scared of a dental visit, try 

going to a caring dentist where your 

family is comfortable. Seeing a pediatric 

dentist is also an option. By educating 

your child, you may relieve 

some anxiety surrounding the dental 

experience. 

• Quality Family Time

As summer begins to come to 

a close and we approach a new 

school year, we are reminded of the 

hectic schedule that will soon ensue. 

Whether it is shuttling children to

and from school or to after-school extracurricular 

activities, your time with 

your family is precious. Quality family 

time is worth every second — take 

advantage of it. Look for those opportunities 

to talk with your children 

about their days at school, asking 

them about their “highs and lows.” 

Give them your undivided attention 

and ask the same of them. Never accept 

the one-word answers, but dig 

deeper. This will not only allow for 

you to know more about your child’s 

day, but it will give your child the opportunity 

to feel valued and heard. 

Remember that the time we have 

with our children is limited — make 

the best of those treasured moments 

by putting down the electronic devices 

and connecting with one another. 

• Homework Headaches? Let 

the Library Help! 

by Mira Tanna, Assistant Manager 

Technology and Education Center 

Orange County Library System

Your local library offers a wide array 

of resources to help kids — and 

parents — tackle homework problems. 

Any parent who has encountered 

their second-grader’s question about 

a “10 frame” knows that the way 

math is being taught these days is 

different from the way we learned it 

growing up. Even the easiest math 

problems can stump parents, because 

they aren’t familiar with the 

strategies being used to teach math 

under Common Core. Luckily, there 

is help available at the nearest public 

library or with the click of a mouse. 

Many libraries offer access to 

databases that can help kids with 

science projects, art and music projects, 

language learning and more. 

Students working on science fair 

projects can find a wealth of ideas in 

Science Online, a resource available 

courtesy of the library. Each section 

— biology, chemistry, earth science, 

etc. — contains experiments that a 

student can conduct at home. 

Some libraries offer online homework 

help that can connect kids with 

resources from home. Library card 

holders can log onto the library website, 

enter their library card number, 

and connect to a certified live tutor. 

Students are often more receptive to 

help from an online tutor than from 

a parent, and parents can feel confident 

that the tutor is familiar with the 

current approach used in schools to 

teach the subject. 

The library is still a great place to 

do research. Kids will find nonfiction 

books at their reading level that 

they can use as reputable sources 

and public computers to access the 

internet. Online databases on a variety 

of subjects (such as biography, 

opposing viewpoints, research in 

context) are searchable by reading 

level and make it much easier than a 

general online search to locate pertinent 

articles. Citations for each article 

are formatted to be copied into 

a bibliography. 

As children become more independent 

from their parents, they 

can benefit from not only learning 

the skills taught in school but from 

learning how to acquire knowledge 

and skills on their own. Introducing 

them to the library can provide that 

foundation for lifelong learning that 

will benefit them long after they have 

graduated from high school. 

• The Benefits of a Private, 

Christian School Education 

by Joseph Cioffi, Director of Marketing & 

Communications 

Foundation Academy 

407-656-3677 • 407-877-2744 

foundationacademy.net 

A private, Christian school education 

is built upon high academic 

standards, positive learning environments, 

a sense of community, discipline 

and Christ-centered values.

A private school education stresses 

the importance of an education that 

sets high academic standards that will 

challenge the students throughout their 

academic pursuits. In addition, a private 

school has a tendency to foster 

smaller class sizes, which in turn cultivates 

an educational environment that 

has more one-on-one interaction with 

the teacher and enables the student to 

receive help for academic challenges, 

promotes increased class participation, 

and allows the teacher to really understand 

the students and identify their 

weaknesses, as well as their strengths. 

A private, Christian school also offers 

a diverse, yet intimate, community 

of students and families who share a 

common set of beliefs, interests and 

standards that foster a sense of belonging. 

This enriches the environment 

that promotes learning and growth 

that can be done both on an individual 

basis as well as together. 

There also is an emphasis on discipline 

that is structured around Christian 

values and is reflected in various traits, 

including thoughtfulness, kindness 

and understanding. These elements 


transcend into the environment, where 

students feel safe both physically and 

mentally and that allows students to 

be dedicated to the process of learning 

rather than uncertainty and worry. 

Lastly, values are perhaps one 

of the most important elements of 

a Christian education. A Christcentered 

approach to teaching and 

learning allows a private, Christian 

school to truly partner with families 

and the church to build a foundation 

for life that will serve its students well 

for the exciting life that lies ahead.

will be picture-perfect, too. The following 

makeup tips are for tweens and 

teens as they head back to school: 

• In sixth grade, wear lip gloss, 

some mascara and a bit of pale eye 

shadows; don’t go too heavy, or it will 

look bad. Keep it natural. You can add 

a touch of glitter, but don’t overdo it! 

• In seventh grade, you may begin 

to care more about your appearance, 

so use a lightweight foundation 

or powder and a little eyeliner. Don’t 

use too much. You don’t want to have 

black eyes! Use a natural eye shadow 

and a light-colored shiny lip gloss. 

You also can use a powdered highlighter 

to give you a natural glow. 

• In eighth grade, you are getting 

better at makeup, and you know 

what you like. Try establishing your 

own style. Liquid or powder foundation 

is great, but be sure you blend 

it. Try a bit of darker color for your 

eyes, cheeks and lips. But remember, 

natural colors work best. 

• In ninth grade: Welcome to high 

school! You are around a variety of 

ages, and you are going to want to 

look like the rest of your peers. You 

should, by now, have your own makeup 

style. Update your look a bit, no 

one wants to carry the same look they 

had in middle school. You can wear 

your usual makeup during the day, 

and make it up, but not too much. 

If you go out at night, you can add 

darker shades to your eyes and lips. 

Places like CVS, Walgreens and 

Walmart Inc. have great makeup lines 

that are not too expensive. Sephora 

and Mac Cosmetics have makeup, too. 

• Beat the Crowds for Less 

Stress 

by Deanna Gustafson, Director 

Children’s Lighthouse Learning Center of 

People of Faith 

407-395-0077 

www.childrenslighthousepof.com 

The longer days of summer fun 

and vacationing will turn into a backto-school 

gallop next month. Amid 

the challenges of keeping children 

occupied, planning vacations and 

celebrating the summer holidays, parents 

can help themselves by doing a 

little pre-planning. While they’re at 

The Grove, racing from store to store 

getting daily activities done, parents 

should keep a mental list or, better yet, 

put those smartphones to use and make 

actual lists of the things they know their 

children will need once school starts. 

Yes, each teacher will have their 

own list of “must haves,” but there are 

always the basics that are needed, 

including paper, pencils, pens and 

backpacks. These items can add 

up to a big bill when buying them 

all at once, not to mention all the 

elbow bumping of parents seeking 

the same items at the same time. It 

is a good idea to take advantage of 

summer sales and bargains at one’s 

favorite discount store. 

If a child is entering a grade where 

his/her backpack will be holding 

more books and binders, parents 

should consider purchasing one of 

the many great packs designed to 

carry extra items, so their children 

will not strain any muscle groups before 

they even get to gym class. Also, 

even though it will be August, parents 

can grab a $1 calendar in the clearance 

pile and post it front and center, 

so they can mark off dates that 

are sure to be on the first papers that 

are sent home from school. Set those 

smartphone calendar date reminders, 

too, for your and your child’s phone. 

Everyone carries phones today! 

If parents can wade into the school 

year with a little less stress, they can 

feel good knowing they have avoided 

some of the inevitable anxiety 

that comes when a child is starting 

a new grade. 

• A Love for Learning 

by Sarah Donovan, Director of Admissions 

The First Academy 

407-206-8602 

thefirstacademy.org 

Is your child a lifelong learner? How 

do you create a love for learning? The 

following are a few tried-and-true tips 

for both parents and educators: 

First, catch your child’s curiosity. 

When your child shows a natural

interest or passion in something, use 

it. Once your child shows a spark of 

excitement and curiosity, help them 

pursue more resources or information 

about it. There is an abundance 

of digital resources, but don’t forget 

about good, old-fashioned, handson 

experiences, too. 

Second, let your child run after the 

questions. Let them do the heavy lifting 

to find the answers. When they 

ask a question, facilitate them in finding 

the answer. Keep a notebook, 

whiteboard or digital list of all the 

questions they have asked and answers 

they have found. 

Next, give choices. Let your child 

steer the way for a family outing or 

experience. Giving them the freedom 

and ownership will pave the 

way for higher engagement. They 

chose it, so they own it! 

Finally, make the time. It seems 

cliché, but you can never overestimate 

setting aside time for 

exploration. Even a short walk 

around the neighborhood can 

open the door to a whole new 

world.

do business as a family. Dave

see their home’s new flooring, 

they will recognize The Flooring 

Center’s commitment to satisfaction 

in quality, workmanship and 

value.

experienced flooring professional 

who is trained to explore 

their requirements and then work 

diligently to meet them. There are 

hundreds of high-quality products 

to choose from, so clients 

can be secure in the knowledge

Center guarantees it. In addition, 

the flooring will be installed by 

skilled craftsmen, whose work 

is guaranteed for the life of the 

product. 

People who stop by the facility 

soon discover why The Flooring 

Center is the first choice of builders, 

designers and consumers. 

Its no-nonsense bottom-line approach 

in meeting customers’ 

needs is refreshing, and the value is 

extraordinary.

MATTER OF HEALTH 

What Is Vaginal Rejuvenation? 

by Lori K. Lambert, M.D. 

7051 Dr. Phillips Blvd., Suite 5, Orlando • 407-363-2000 • lorilambertmd.com 

Voted Top Doctor 

in Orlando 2015, 

2016 & 2017 

Laser vaginal rejuvenation is a 

therapy that helps restore tone and 

flexibility to the vaginal and vulvar tissues. 

Childbirth, menopause, certain 

skin conditions like vulvar dystrophy 

and lichen sclerosis, cancer treatment 

and aging can cause thinning of the 

vagina, called vaginal atrophy, or vulvovaginal 

atrophy (involving the vulva 

and vagina). Vaginal atrophy can lead 

to vaginal dryness, painful sex called 

dyspareunia, vaginal irritation, vaginal 

burning and skin discoloration of the 

vulva with age spots or brown spots. 

Laser treatment of the pelvic tissue 

increases collagen production, which 

strengthens the vagina and vulvar tissue, 

and improves elasticity and flexibility, 

as well as improving vaginal 

lubrication. Laser vaginal rejuvenation 

is one type of labiaplasty treatment 

that can lead to skin rejuvenation of 

the vagina, as well as the vulva. For 

women with vaginal laxity (looseness 

of the vagina, usually after childbirth), 

laser rejuvenation can improve vaginal 

tone and result in vaginal tightening. 

The laser resurfacing treatment of the 

vulva can minimize and/or resolve 

pigment changes, age spots or brown 

spots. 

Although the Juliet medical laser is 

not FDA-approved for the treatment 

of urinary issues, many women have 

reported an improvement in urinary urgency 

and urinary incontinence after 

treatment.

n Nemours facility opens 

in Winter Garden 

Families in west Orange County now 

have greater access to Nemours 

Children’s Health System specialty 

care and primary care services 

in one location and closer to 

home. Nemours recently opened a 

Winter Garden location at Sonata 

West, located at 2020 Daniels Road 

in Winter Garden. Patients are now 

being accepted at the facility. 

Winter Garden resident Jeanette 

Brown attended the ribbon-cutting 

ceremony with her three children. 

Her 7-year-old daughter, Bella, 

marked the official opening of the 

facility by using giant red scissors 

compiled by Lauren Salinero 

to cut the ceremonial Nemours 

Band-Aid ribbon. 

Bella was born with a complex 

heart condition and has been a 

Nemours patient most of her life. 

Jeanette’s two sons are also patients, 

and she often travels to Nemours 

Children’s Hospital in Lake Nona 

when they need care. Now, some of 

Bella Brown (center) of Winter Garden cuts the ribbon for Nemours Children’s 

Health System’s new facility.

n Protect yourself from 

mosquitoes 

Officials of the Florida Department 

of Health in Orange County advise 

residents that there is an increase in 

mosquito-borne disease activity in 

areas of Orange County. Several 

sentinel chicken flocks have tested 

positive for Eastern equine encephalitis 

virus infection, therefore the 

risk of transmission to humans has 

increased. Orange County Mosquito 

Control and DOH-Orange 

continue surveillance and prevention 

efforts. DOH-Orange officials remind 

residents and visitors to avoid 

being bitten by mosquitoes and to 

take basic precautions to help limit 

exposure. 

To protect yourself from mosquitoes, 

remember to “drain and cover.” 

Drain standing water to stop mosquitoes 

from multiplying. Drain water 

from garbage cans, house gutters, 

buckets, pool covers, coolers, toys, 

flower pots or any other containers 

where sprinkler water or rainwater 

have collected. Discard old 

tires, drums, bottles, cans, pots and 

pans, broken appliances and other 

items that aren’t being used. Empty 

and clean birdbaths and pet water 

bowls at least once or twice a week. 

Protect boats and vehicles from rain 

with tarps that don’t accumulate 

water. Maintain swimming pools in 

good condition and appropriately 

chlorinated. Empty plastic swimming 

pools when not in use. 

Cover skin with clothing or repellent. 

Wearing shoes, socks, long 

pants and long sleeves provides 

protection for people who work in 

areas where mosquitoes are present. 

Apply mosquito repellent to bare 

skin and clothing. Use mosquito 

netting to protect children younger 

than 2 months old. Cover doors and 


windows with screens to help keep 

mosquitoes out of your house.
