On Friday, August 4th, 2017, the Mayor and City Commission held an Appreciation event to thank their valued Board and Committee Members for their service over the past year. All Board and Committee Members that attended, together with a guest, enjoyed a wonderful evening of fun,

good food, merriment, and wonderful company.

TThe Mayor and City Commission held this event as they greatly appreciate all of their fabulous Board and Committee Members who meet throughout the year and depending on the particular Board or Committee, review future development projects, consider landscaping contracts and assess investments for the employees’ Pension Plan, review plans for upcoming City events, look into improvements for City parks, hear cases related to Code Enforcement matters, and many other aspects of life in this great City! All of this is of great importance to the Mayor and City

Commission and this event was a small gesture to share their appreciation.

TThe following are photos from the presentation of Certificates held during this recent Appreciation event. To those Board and Committee Members who were not able to attend, you

were missed and the Mayor and City Commission send their thanks to you also!

I T ’ S B A C K TO S C H O O L T I M E !

School is back in session and that means more homework. Even if we won’t be returning to school, we as a community have a responsibility to maintain a high level of awareness and safety regarding the children traveling to and from school.

Kids 1. If you walk to school, use the sidewalks and cross with a crossing guard. Walk in a group with your friends and avoid walking alone. Be aware of vehicles and never ever get into a car with a stranger. Walk straight to school and go straight home. 2. If you ride the bus, use your designated bus stop. While walking to the bus stop, use sidewalks and cross with crossing guards. Walk with your friends and while waiting for the bus, stay out of the roadway. Be respectful to the property at the location of your bus stop. 3. If you ride your bike to school, always wear a helmet. Use the sidewalks but be courteous of pedestrians. Avoid using the roadway, but if you must, know the rules of the road. When crossing the road, walk your bike across, never ride. If you have to ride in the winter when it may be darker in the morning, make sure your clothing is reflective or bright and light your bike accordingly.Parents 1. Ensure your child walks the same route to school every day. Have them walk with other children so as to not be alone. 2. Help your child to get to the bus on time. When you must hurry, safety is sometimes forgotten. 3. If your child rides a bike to school make sure they wear their helmet, are visible to vehicles and know the rules of the road.Drivers 1. Remember that with back to school there will be increased traffic on the roadway. Make sure to cater your schedule to accommodate the increase and ease your frustrations. 2. With the increased traffic there will also be increased children on or near the roadway. Please drive with caution in the presence of children. 3. Maintain a sense of vigilance in the presence of children. Many crimes against children have been interrupted or prevented due to vigilant citizens. If you see something, say something.

It is in the best interest of our community to take responsibility for our safety and the safety of our children. We at the Winter Springs Police Department want to provide our community with the right tools and information to prevent our citizens from being victimized from accident or crime. As we all do our part, we can ensure that Winter Springs remains one of the finest cities in Florida.

Help Prevent Mosquito Diseases Drain and CoverDRAIN standing water from any container where sprinkler or rainwater has collected. See the picture below to find places where water may collect around the outside of your home.

COVER your bare skin and clothing with repellent if you must be outside when mosquitoes are most active during the hours of dusk and dawn. Several disease-carrying mosquitoes are daytime biters and usually do not fly far from the containers where they spend their immature life stages. Wear shoes, socks, long pants, and long sleeves.

Always use repellents according to the label. Repellents with DEET, Picaridin, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus, and IR3535 are effective. Use mosquito netting to protect children younger than 2 months. Using repellents that are combined with sunscreen is not recommended. Apply sunscreen first, then apply repellent to make sure that each product works as intended.

Mosquito Facts & BiologyDid you know that mosquitoes must have water to develop, that only female mosquitoes bite (take a blood meal), and can live for several weeks and lay hundreds of eggs? Check out the mosquito life cycle below to learn more about these insects.1. Eggs are laid on water, on the side of containers, or on moist soil that

may flood. 2. Larvae hatch from the eggs and live, feed, and grow in the water. 3. Larvae become

pupae, then after 2 or 3 days adult mosquitoes emerge from the pupae.

4. Adult female mosquitoes fly off in search of a blood meal, lay eggs a few days later, and then the cycle begins again.

OTHER TIPS TO PREVENT MOSQUITOES

• Repair screening on windows, doors, porches & patios.

• Keep gutters clear so they will drain properly. • Check & empty:

• Children’s toys• Trash cans & lids • Untreated swimming pools• Uncovered boats/watercrafts that

are not draining water• Change water in birdbaths & flush

bromeliads once or twice a week.• Do not allow water to accumulate in flower

pots or dishes for more than 2 days.• Check around faucets & air conditioner units,

repair leaks & eliminate puddles that remain for several days.

• Fill tree holes & rotten tree stumps with spray foam insulation.

• Irrigate lawns & gardens carefully to prevent water from standing for several days.
