Students have returned to school in the tri-county area. Your child’s safety is our number one priority. Please take a few moments to review back-to-school safety with your child.
Walking To School
If your child walks to school, make sure there are sidewalks along the way. If you are not able to walk with your child, remember there is safety in numbers so have your child walk with siblings or other neighborhood children. Being hit by a car is by far the greatest threat to any child walking to school. Make sure your kids stay on the sidewalk and only cross at crosswalks. Remember to remind your children to never, ever stop to talk to strangers on the way to and from school and, most importantly, never to get into any vehicle with a stranger. These could potentially be life threatening situations.
Bicycle Safety
Children peddling to school on bicycles must wear bike helmets – it’s the law. Helmets are the single most effective devices for cyclists, greatly reducing the risk of death or critical injury. Your children should ride their bicycles on the right side of the road and obey stop signs and traffic signals. Continue reading

From: Jim Rietz, Lady Lake Mayor
On behalf of the Lady Lake Town Commission, I am pleased to announce !hat on June 20, 2022, !he Commission voted unanimously to repeal !he annual requirement to acquire a Business Tax Receipt. Two ordinances were adopted that removed all
references to the business taxes from our Code of Ordinances and Land Development Regulations.
After the devastating effect on businesses from the pandemic over the last couple of
years and the uncertain days ahead, the Commission wants to show their support for
local businesses. Locally owned businesses play a major role in healthy communities and contribute to promoting economic opportunity.
Exciting changes are coming to the Farmer’s Market. We understand the confusion surrounding the sudden closure of the market and that many vendors rely on it as a source of income.
Many factors contributed to the temporary closure of the market including ongoing road construction; and the groundbreaking/ construction of a new Public Park for the residents of Lady Lake.
The Lady Lake Area Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Town of Lady Lake is planning to relaunch the market in February 2023. The market will return with some exciting changes and additions. The ultimate goal of the Chamber is to connect businesses to the local community in a safe and consistent environment.

The Lady Lake Chamber sponsor’s a “Network Luncheon” Before COVID it was held at Texas Roadhouse. The Networking Luncheons were shut down and are now back. It was a great success Chamber business people responded. Pictures of the attendee’s are in this paper. One of the managers spoke welcoming all of us back. The food was good, the service was good, prices were good. In all I think everyone was happy. I met marketing people and sales people and owners. I was raised in a small town in Broward County. I met a person that sells for a company that started in Broward County, small world. If you want more information about these networking Luncheons check with the Lady Lake Chamber.
It only takes a minute. You look away, you may not hear the splash and your child is nowhere in sight. Drowning – the harsh reality of losing a child in less than one minute. Drowning is swift and silent.
According to the National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA), there are approximately 4000 drowning deaths a year in the United States. The Lady Lake Police Department is committed to educating parents and caregivers about taking precautions to help end these preventable tragedies.
Florida loses more children under age five to drowning than any other state. Annually in Florida, enough children to fill three to four preschool classrooms drown and do not live to see their fifth birthday (Floridahealth.gov.)
Living in Central Florida, we are surrounded by water. Although children may know how to swim, if left unsupervised, they can drown in less than two inches of water. When participating in outdoor water activities, I encourage you to follow these safety-conscious behaviors: Continue reading
