Blue Wash Cleaning Launches New Website to Streamline Booking for Home Cleaning Services in Nassau County

INWOOD, NY - August 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Blue Wash Cleaning has launched a new website, bluewashcleaning.com, giving residents and businesses across Long Island a simpler way to schedule residential and commercial cleaning appointments. The digital platform reflects a healthcare-inspired approach to property maintenance and centralizes booking, service details, and local cleaning community updates in one accessible location.
The company was founded in 2025 by David, a full-time nurse who recognized the connection between clean, orderly environments and reduced stress, improved health, and overall well-being. That clinical perspective now shapes the online experience, where visitors can quickly move from a chaotic to-do list to a scheduled service without the friction that often accompanies booking a household task. By reducing the steps required to arrange a cleaning, the platform extends the founder's philosophy of easing the mental load that busy families and professionals carry.

The website allows clients to explore core offerings in detail, from kitchen degreasing and deep cleaning to move-in and move-out resets and commercial office sanitization. Each service is described so property owners can identify the right option and hand off the physical burden of upkeep. Recurring maintenance plans are presented alongside their loyalty incentives, including 20 percent off weekly service, 15 percent off bi-weekly service, and 10 percent off monthly plans.
The straightforward, transparent design mirrors the company's operational standards, which emphasize precision, reliability, and consistent communication with every customer. Visitors can review the company's credentials directly on the site, including its bilingual English and Spanish team and full insurance coverage through Hiscox. Direct links to customer support and social media channels are also provided.
"The website was built to remove obstacles between a person and a clean home," said a spokesperson for Blue Wash Cleaning. "A nurse's training teaches that order and cleanliness support health and lower stress, and the goal was to make that standard easy to access with a few clicks rather than a series of phone calls."
The platform outlines the company's dedicated service radius, operating from its Nassau County cleaning headquarters at 18 Madison Ave and prioritizing communities that include Valley Stream, Long Beach, Rockville Centre, Lynbrook, and Oceanside. The company remains equipped to travel up to 15 miles beyond the county line to accommodate additional requests.
"Consistency and respect for each property set reliable service apart from the rest of the market," the spokesperson added. "The new site reflects that mandate by presenting clear information, transparent pricing, and a booking process that treats every customer's time as valuable."

Shadow Lake Collision Publishes Parking Lot Collision Guide

Papillion, NE - August 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Shadow Lake Collision has updated its parking lot collision information for consumers, adding guidance about exterior cameras and sensors to its existing information on visible body damage, panel operation, and bumper impacts.
The August 12 update reflects the growing presence of advanced driver-assistance system components in exterior areas that can be involved in low-speed parking incidents. The revised material gives Papillion and Sarpy County vehicle owners a way to document observable changes while recognizing that technical repair requirements depend on the individual vehicle.

The newly added technology section is the principal change to the resource. It addresses impacts involving areas where cameras, radar units, parking sensors, or other driver-assistance components may be located and explains why the location of those systems can be relevant during subsequent repair evaluation.
Depending on vehicle design and equipment, these components may be associated with bumpers, mirrors, windshields, and other exterior areas. Their locations and applicable procedures are not the same across all makes and models.
I-CAR's OEM Calibration Requirements Search provides independent technical context for the update. The industry resource compiles information researched from vehicle manufacturer procedures, including certain camera and sensor locations and events identified by manufacturers as requiring calibration.
The I-CAR OEM Calibration Requirements Search provides access to that vehicle-specific information.
The I-CAR material also illustrates an important limitation for consumers documenting an accident. Contact near a camera or sensor does not establish that the component was damaged or that calibration is necessary. Those determinations depend on the vehicle, affected system, work performed, and applicable manufacturer procedure.
Shadow Lake Collision cites I-CAR solely as an independent technical information source. I-CAR is not presented as affiliated with, sponsoring, or endorsing the company's consumer information.
The updated resource retains guidance concerning visible exterior damage. Following a parking lot incident, drivers may document conditions such as dents, scratches, paint transfer, cracked bumper covers, damaged lamps, or displaced trim. Photographs can provide a contemporaneous record of the location and visible characteristics of the damage.
Changes in the fit or operation of exterior components are also included. A door that operates differently after an incident, a displaced bumper, or a noticeable change in spacing between adjacent panels can provide information about the area affected by the contact.
Bumper involvement remains a separate consideration in the updated material. The exterior bumper cover is part of an assembly whose construction and associated equipment vary by vehicle. As a result, the appearance of the cover alone does not determine the condition of components in the surrounding area.
Parking lot incidents can involve several forms of low-speed contact, including door-to-panel impacts, bumper contact, and vehicles backing into one another. The updated Shadow Lake Collision material focuses on recording where contact occurred and what changed afterward rather than assigning a repair procedure based solely on the type of incident.
The August revision is intended to account for a change in the information relevant to contemporary collision repair: exterior areas traditionally associated with body damage can also contain or interact with electronic driver-assistance equipment.
This means similar-looking parking lot damage on two vehicles can involve different technical considerations. One vehicle may have exterior components without associated driver-assistance equipment, while another may incorporate sensors or cameras in or near the affected area. Vehicle-specific repair information is therefore relevant when determining what procedures apply.
Shadow Lake Collision's consumer material does not treat every parking lot impact as requiring extensive repairs, diagnostic procedures, or calibration. Instead, it distinguishes conditions a driver can reasonably document from decisions made later using the vehicle's actual condition and applicable technical information.
The revised resource brings visible damage, component operation, bumper involvement, and modern vehicle technology into one reference for drivers following low-speed parking incidents. The addition of camera and sensor information is the primary change included in the August 12 update.
Additional information about auto body repair is available through Shadow Lake Collision. Company updates are available through Shadow Lake Collision on X.

Shadow Lake Collision Publishes Guide to Post-Collision Vehicle Changes

Papillion, NE - August 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Shadow Lake Collision has updated its post-collision consumer information to address how drivers can document vehicle changes following an accident while distinguishing those observations from vehicle-specific technical requirements involving cameras and sensors.
The August 5 update adds advanced driver-assistance system considerations to information covering three more familiar post-collision observations: visible exterior damage, changes in panel fit or operation, and changes first noticed while driving.

Shadow Lake Collision developed the update to address the difference between conditions a vehicle owner can readily observe and technical procedures that cannot be determined from appearance alone. This distinction has become relevant as cameras and sensors are incorporated into exterior areas that may also be involved in collision repairs.
Drivers can document visible changes such as dented panels, cracked bumper covers, displaced trim, damaged lamps, or paint damage. Changes involving doors, hoods, liftgates, bumpers, and adjacent panels can also provide useful information if those components fit or operate differently after an accident.
The update also identifies changes first noticed while driving, including an off-center steering wheel, pulling, unfamiliar vibration, or new noises. Such observations can have multiple causes and are included as information to document rather than evidence of a particular collision-related condition.
The newly added technology portion addresses impacts involving areas where advanced driver-assistance system components may be located.
I-CAR's Repairability Technical Support information shows that camera and sensor locations, as well as manufacturer-specified calibration events, vary among vehicles. Its OEM Calibration Requirements Search compiles information researched from vehicle manufacturer procedures for specific makes, models, and systems.
The source information is available directly through the I-CAR OEM Calibration Requirements Search.
Shadow Lake Collision's references to camera and sensor locations and calibration requirements are based on this I-CAR information and the manufacturer procedures it references. The company's consumer framework is separate from I-CAR's technical guidance.
That distinction is particularly relevant following an impact near a bumper, windshield, mirror, or another area associated with driver-assistance equipment. The location of an impact can be documented by a driver, but it does not by itself establish that a camera or sensor was affected or that calibration is required. Those determinations depend on the individual vehicle, work performed, and applicable manufacturer information.
Shadow Lake Collision's updated consumer framework centers on four questions: What visible exterior changes appeared after the collision? Do any panels or exterior components fit or operate differently? Did any changes in steering, vibration, noise, or vehicle operation begin after the incident? Did the impact involve an area where cameras or sensors may be located?
The August 5 publication differs from the company's previous consumer information by adding the fourth question concerning vehicle-mounted technology. The addition is intended to account for a category of information that drivers can document while leaving technical diagnosis and vehicle-specific procedural decisions to the subsequent evaluation.
The framework is educational rather than diagnostic. It gives Papillion and Sarpy County drivers a concise way to record potentially relevant post-collision information without assuming that an observable condition establishes the scope of repairs.
Additional information about collision repair is available through Shadow Lake Collision. Company updates are available through Shadow Lake Collision on Facebook.

Anfesa's Jewelers Hosts Annual Wedding Band Extravaganza

GARNER, NC - August 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Anfesa's Jewelers will host its Annual Wedding Band Extravaganza on August 14 and 15, 2026, presenting an expanded selection of wedding bands for couples and individuals in the Triangle region. The two-day event takes place from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the store and focuses on providing access to a wide range of styles for both men's and ladies' bands. Master jewelers will be available on site to assist with fitting, matching to existing engagement rings, and discussing options that align with personal preferences.
The event brings together hundreds of wedding bands, including designs from established manufacturers and designers. Attendees can examine classic gold and platinum options alongside more contemporary styles that incorporate textures, inlays, engravings, and alternative metals. The selection covers both traditional and modern approaches, allowing participants to compare pieces side by side during the limited weekend window.
Appointments are recommended to ensure personalized attention, though walk-ins are also accommodated. The format supports detailed conversations about band width, metal choices, comfort fit, and how a wedding band complements an engagement ring. On-site staff can address sizing needs and provide guidance on the practical aspects of daily wear.
Anfesa's Jewelers has long specialized in bridal jewelry, guiding clients through the process of selecting pieces for engagements and weddings. The Annual Wedding Band Extravaganza builds on this focus by concentrating resources on wedding bands for a concentrated period. The store's recognition as a bridal destination in the Triangle area stems from its consistent work with couples seeking coordinated sets or individual bands that reflect their styles.
"This annual event allows couples and individuals to explore a concentrated selection of wedding bands with direct support from our jewelers," said Anfesa Matthews, Owner of Anfesa's Jewelers. "It creates space for thoughtful decisions about pieces that will be worn every day."
The store's inventory regularly includes brands and designs that appear in greater volume during the event. Men's bands often feature options in various finishes and materials, while ladies' bands include styles suited for pairing with different engagement ring settings. Custom design services remain available for those seeking modifications or completely original pieces, with the process involving collaboration, 3D modeling, and fabrication by the in-house team.
"Wedding bands represent a lasting part of the commitment, and the event is structured to help people find options that feel appropriate for their lives," said Anfesa Matthews, Owner of Anfesa's Jewelers. "Having the full range available over two days supports that process."
In addition to the bands themselves, the store provides related services such as appraisals, repairs, and adjustments. The on-site repair facility, staffed by master jewelers, handles tasks that support both new purchases and existing jewelry. These capabilities allow clients to address sizing or maintenance needs in conjunction with their selections.
Anfesa's Jewelers operates as a family-owned business founded in 1993 in Garner, North Carolina. Over more than three decades, the company has developed expertise in fine jewelry, custom designs, and watches while serving the Triangle region. The store maintains a state-of-the-art repair facility and emphasizes personalized service for special occasions and everyday needs. Its offerings extend to engagement rings, other bridal pieces, and a variety of fine jewelry categories.
The Annual Wedding Band Extravaganza forms part of the store's pattern of hosting focused events that highlight specific segments of its inventory. By concentrating on wedding bands for the August weekend, the event provides a clear opportunity for those in the planning stages of a wedding or looking to update or complete their sets. Details about available styles and the assistance process will be addressed during visits over the two days.


Throughout its history, Anfesa's Jewelers has supported multiple generations of families with jewelry selections tied to life milestones. The upcoming event continues that involvement by directing attention to the practical and symbolic role of wedding bands.

Blue Water Jewelers Announces Relocation and August Inventory Reduction

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL - August 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Blue Water Jewelers has announced plans to relocate to a new showroom on Highway 312 in the fall of 2026. In preparation for the move, the store is conducting a store-wide inventory reduction during the month of August at its current location.
The new site will be positioned next to Black Molly Grill and Barwick Bank. Blue Water Jewelers, a jewelry store in St. Augustine, FL, will remain open at its existing Anastasia Boulevard address with regular operations while staff prepares for the transition. An official move date will be shared closer to October.
The August inventory reduction encompasses more than 8,000 pieces drawn from the store’s existing collections. Categories include engagement rings, natural and lab-grown diamonds, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, chains, fashion jewelry, and estate pieces. Additional items have been supplied by the store’s designers to support the reduction of stock ahead of the relocation.
Nicole Nettles, owner of Blue Water Jewelers, described the dual focus of the announcement. “The relocation represents a significant step for the business, and the August inventory reduction is a practical measure to manage the volume of jewelry currently on hand before the move,” Nettles said.
Nettles added context about continuity of service. “Customers can continue to visit the current location throughout August and the remaining months leading up to the transition,” Nettles said.
Blue Water Jewelers was founded in 2006 and moved in 2010 to the historic Bank of Anastasia building, where it has operated for more than 15 years. The store offers custom jewelry design, on-site repairs, appraisals performed by a Graduate Gemologist, and a selection of watches. Services for first responders and military personnel remain available.
The inventory reduction is intended to streamline the physical transfer of merchandise to the new showroom. Once the relocation is complete, the Highway 312 location will become the primary retail space. Until that time, the Anastasia Boulevard store continues to serve as the point of contact for purchases, repairs, and consultations.
This development follows a pattern of measured growth for the business. Previous expansions and community events have supported its presence in the St. Augustine area. The planned move to Highway 312 is designed to improve accessibility for customers in surrounding neighborhoods while maintaining the technical and design services that have defined the store’s operations.
As August progresses, the inventory reduction will continue on a daily basis. Stock levels will fluctuate as pieces are selected, and remaining items will be prepared for transfer to the new site. The store has indicated that all current services, including custom design work and appraisals, will proceed without interruption during this period.
The relocation planning also involves coordination of staffing, display systems, and security arrangements for the new facility. Blue Water Jewelers has operated from its present site for an extended period, establishing routines for both local clients and seasonal visitors. Maintaining those routines at the current address through the summer and early fall allows the business to complete the transition in stages rather than in a single abrupt change.
Estate jewelry and one-of-a-kind pieces form part of the inventory being reduced. These items, along with standard collections, are included so that the volume of merchandise requiring physical relocation is manageable. Designer-supplied stock added for the period further supports the goal of adjusting overall inventory levels before the October timeframe.
Blue Water Jewelers continues to provide the same range of professional services that have characterized its work since the 2010 move to the Bank of Anastasia building. Clients seeking repairs, custom designs, or formal appraisals can schedule those services at the current location throughout the remaining months of the year. The store’s Graduate Gemologist remains available for evaluations and guidance.
The announcement places the inventory reduction within the broader context of operational planning. By addressing stock levels in August, the business aims to simplify the logistical requirements of the fall relocation. The Highway 312 site is expected to offer expanded space and improved access while the current location continues to function as the active retail and service point until the move is finalized.


Blue Water Jewelers specializes in fine jewelry, diamonds, watches, and custom design services. The establishment also provides jewelry repair, appraisals, and gemstone evaluations performed on-site. Located on Anastasia Island, it serves local residents and visitors seeking pieces for a range of occasions.

LeoDaniels Jewelers Observes More Than 40 Years of Operation in August

MINNEAPOLIS, MN - August 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
LeoDaniels Jewelers is observing more than 40 years of continuous operation as a family-owned jewelry business during the month of August 2026. The period includes activities that recognize the company’s history and its ongoing role in serving customers seeking fine jewelry for personal and family occasions.
As a jewelry store in St. Louis Park, MN, LeoDaniels Jewelers was established in 1984. Across more than four decades, the business has maintained a focus on craftsmanship, material quality, and services that support long-term ownership of jewelry pieces. August has traditionally provided a natural interval for reflection on quieter personal milestones, including anniversaries and late-summer birthdays, and the company has aligned certain activities with that seasonal context.
Company educational materials highlight peridot as the birthstone associated with August. Historical references note its long use and its suitability for settings that emphasize understated durability rather than temporary fashion. Such information forms part of broader resources intended to help customers understand the characteristics of gemstones and metals selected for lasting wear.
Daniel Kutoff, Co-Owner of LeoDaniels Jewelers, spoke about the significance of the milestone. “Reaching more than 40 years of operation reflects the consistent support of the community and the value placed on pieces that accompany real-life events over time,” Kutoff said.
Chaim Kutoff, Co-Owner, addressed the educational dimension of the company’s work. “Customers regularly seek factual details about how jewelry is constructed and how it can be maintained across years. Providing that context remains central to the business,” Kutoff said.
Services available throughout the period include custom design, professional repairs and restorations, cleaning, polishing, resizing, stone adjustments, and formal appraisals. These capabilities allow customers to address both new selections and the upkeep of existing items. Staff members draw on accumulated experience to discuss metal properties, setting techniques, and routine care methods that help preserve structural integrity and appearance.
Blog content from the company expands on related subjects. Recent entries examine the practical differences between short-term fashion constructions and more durable pieces, the grading criteria applied to diamonds by the Gemological Institute of America, and care practices intended to limit tarnish and surface wear. Additional posts address the selection of items suited to quiet commemorations rather than high-visibility occasions. These materials supply background that customers can reference when considering options.
Over the decades, the business has adapted collections and processes while retaining attention to heirloom-quality construction. Items are selected and finished with the expectation of extended wear, whether for daily use or for marking relationships that continue across seasons and years.
August activities include a designated sale window that runs through August 14. The interval provides structured access to certain categories of inventory, including select sterling silver fashion pieces, gold jewelry in multiple finishes, and loose lab-grown diamonds available for custom settings. Participation occurs through in-store visits, with availability dependent on current stock.
The combination of the operational milestone, seasonal birthstone associations, and available services forms the basis of the current recognition period. Customers interested in reviewing options or addressing maintenance needs can do so while the designated timeframe remains open. The company’s approach continues to center on clear information about materials, construction, and long-term care rather than transient trends.
LeoDaniels Jewelers is a family-owned business specializing in fine jewelry, custom design, repairs, and appraisals. Founded in 1984, the company features collections centered on diamonds, gemstones, and quality pieces while providing educational resources on jewelry topics.

The Phoenix Jewelry & Art Marks Its Two-Year Anniversary

CRUZ BAY, VI - August 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
The Phoenix Jewelry & Art is observing its two-year anniversary in August 2026. The store opened its doors in Cruz Bay two years prior and is marking the occasion throughout the month.
According to the store’s recent announcement, the anniversary coincides with a promotion offering 50 percent off select pieces for the entire month of August 2026. The discounted items include sterling silver studs and drop earrings, toe rings and anklets, micro and small gemstone beaded bracelets and necklaces, Larimar pendants, and two Ola Kala bag styles: the Evelyn in Chestnut and the Eryn in Turquoise.
The Phoenix Jewelry & Art was established by a group of friends who drew on experience from previously retired jewelry stores on the island. The team states that it holds over a century of combined experience in St. John jewelry. This background informs the store’s approach to curation.
Stephanie Remington, owner of The Phoenix Jewelry & Art, said, "The two-year mark reflects the relationships built since the store opened. This space was created to bring together designers from near and far with local island artists under a shared table model."
Collections currently featured include work from the St. John Bracelet Company, The Hook Company, Denny Wong, JKennedy Design, Patrick Murphy, the Ocean collection and Ola Kala. These selections range from nature-inspired designs to contemporary pieces.
Remington said the store’s founding values center on supporting makers and providing a place where visitors and residents can find pieces tied to their experiences on the island. She added that the anniversary provides an opportunity to acknowledge the community that has supported the business over the past two years.
The store operates with a focus on handcrafted items. Designers and local artists each contribute distinct styles, resulting in a range of options for those seeking wearable or decorative pieces. The promotion on select items runs parallel to the broader anniversary observance and is limited to the categories listed for the month of August.
Team members assist visitors in exploring the available collections. The store’s location near the ferry dock in Cruz Bay positions it as an accessible stop for those arriving on the island. The anniversary period highlights both the original vision of the founders and the ongoing presence of the makers whose work is displayed.
The shared table arrangement continues to define the space. Multiple contributors present their craft alongside one another, creating a setting that reflects a variety of approaches to island-inspired design. Pieces available during August include both everyday items and more distinctive selections.
Remington said the first two years have been shaped by the people who have visited and by the artists who have contributed. The anniversary recognition centers on that history rather than solely on the limited-time pricing of certain pieces.
The inventory maintains a consistent emphasis on craftsmanship. Items such as Larimar pendants and gemstone beaded jewelry appear among the selections offered at the reduced rate, while other collections remain available at regular pricing.
By noting the two-year milestone, the store records a clear point in its development. The August promotion forms one element of the observance, with specific categories of merchandise included for the full month. The overall focus remains the anniversary itself and the collaborative model established at the outset.
The Phoenix Jewelry & Art operates as a jewelry and art store that curates handcrafted pieces inspired by the sea, community, and island life. The space brings together designers and local artists to form a collaborative environment where multiple makers contribute to one shared narrative.

The rankings answer a question law firms increasingly face: when a potential client asks an AI assistant for legal help, which firms come up? Consumers now put those questions to tools such as ChatGPT alongside, and often instead of, a traditional search engine, and the firms named in those answers are reaching clients before a search results page is ever seen.
Each edition scores firms on share of voice: how often AI assistants name the firm across a standardized set of consumer-style legal questions. The flagship National 100 is built from a 300-question set covering the major practice areas. Results are presented as a ticker-style board. Each firm carries a four-letter code, with its share of voice quoted alongside monthly movement. Domain rating and organic traffic appear as context columns, so readers can see where AI recommendations diverge from traditional search authority.
The Answer Index is deliberately open. There is no email gate, no sponsorship, and no way to pay for a position. AEO Engine clients that qualify for an edition are included, marked as clients on the board, and measured identically to every other firm; no firm is force-ranked. Exact questions are kept private to prevent gaming, ten retired sample questions are published with each edition, and journalists can review the full methodology under NDA.
"When someone asks an AI assistant to recommend a lawyer, the answer usually contains a handful of firms, and most firms have no way of knowing whether they are in it," said Vijay C Jacob, founder of AEO Engine. "The Answer Index makes that visible. It is the same measurement we run for clients, published monthly as a public record."
Editions are measured over the first three days of each month and published on the fifth. The September 2026 editions, publishing September 5, will be the first to report month-over-month movers and fallers. Any firm can search an edition for its name and request a detailed AI visibility report directly from the edition pages.
"The interesting part is the gap between name recognition and AI visibility," Vijay C Jacob said. "The board lets anyone check whether the firms with the biggest advertising budgets are the ones AI assistants actually recommend."

Kidtropolis Sees Growing Demand for Play-Based Early Childhood Programs in Richmond

August 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
The interactive children's venue has expanded toddler programming in response to rising interest from Metro Vancouver families with children under five.
Kidtropolis, an interactive miniature city in Richmond, British Columbia, has reported sustained growth in demand for its play-based early childhood programming as more families with toddlers and preschoolers seek structured social learning activities in Metro Vancouver.
According to Statistics Canada (2023 report, participation rates in early learning and child care), more than 60 percent of Canadian children under age six participate in some form of early learning program, with demand for quality options continuing to grow in metropolitan areas across the country. British Columbia has expanded its early childhood education investments through initiatives such as the Canada-BC Early Learning and Child Care Agreement, reflecting rising awareness among parents and policymakers of the developmental benefits of structured play for young children.
"We have seen a steady increase in inquiries from parents of toddlers who want structured play opportunities that go beyond basic childcare," said Aleem Kassam, Owner of Kidtropolis. "The families coming through our doors are more informed than ever about the benefits of pretend play for early brain development. They are looking for environments where their children can develop social skills, language ability, and problem-solving confidence in a setting that feels like play, not school."
The American Academy of Pediatrics published a clinical report in 2018 emphasizing that play is essential for healthy brain development in early childhood, supporting cognitive growth, language acquisition, and emotional regulation. The National Association for the Education of Young Children similarly recommends play as a core component of early childhood programming.
Kidtropolis, which has operated in Richmond since 2016, offers dedicated toddler programming on Tuesday mornings when the venue is closed to the general public, allowing young children to explore scaled-down versions of exhibits including a mini grocery store, fire station, and veterinary clinic in a low-traffic setting. As the venue marks a decade of operations in 2026, it continues to adapt its programming in response to neighborhood demographic trends.


Richmond's population of children under 14 grew by more than 8 percent between 2016 and 2021, according to Statistics Canada census data, contributing to rising demand for early childhood programming across the city. Venue operators in Metro Vancouver have noted that interest in structured early learning activities for preschool-aged children has continued to grow alongside this demographic shift.

Ingersoll's Refrigeration Air Conditioning & Heating Highlights AC Repair Services Ahead of Summer Cooling Season

Fairhope, Alabama - August 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Ingersoll's Refrigeration Air Conditioning & Heating is reminding homeowners across Baldwin County to schedule cooling system inspections before the peak of the summer heat, when air conditioning units face their heaviest demand of the year. The family-owned HVAC contractor is drawing attention to its ac repair services for residents in Fairhope, Daphne, Spanish Fort, and Foley, Alabama.
Rising temperatures along the Gulf Coast place significant strain on residential and commercial cooling systems, often exposing minor mechanical issues before they develop into full breakdowns. Warmer months typically bring a sharp increase in service calls as aging units, worn components, and neglected maintenance schedules combine to leave families without reliable cooling. Ingersoll's is encouraging area residents to address performance concerns early rather than waiting for a complete system failure during the hottest stretches of the year.

The company services central air systems, residential and commercial units, wall units, heat pumps, geothermal systems, and more, working with all brands, makes, and models. In addition to repair work, Ingersoll's offers installation and routine maintenance, along with a seasonal tune-up that includes a 28-point home air conditioning inspection designed to identify small issues before they escalate.
"Summer along the Gulf Coast is unforgiving on cooling systems, and many of the breakdowns seen each year could have been prevented with an early inspection," said Becky Grizzle, a representative of Ingersoll's AC & Heating. "A system that struggles in June is often showing warning signs in the spring. Addressing those signs early keeps homes comfortable and helps avoid the stress of an emergency repair during a heat wave."
Grizzle noted that the company's technicians are trained to diagnose and repair a broad range of cooling problems, from refrigerant issues and airflow restrictions to electrical faults and aging compressors. Homeowners who notice weak airflow, unusual noises, inconsistent temperatures, or rising energy costs are encouraged to have their systems evaluated before the demands of summer intensify.
Ingersoll's has served Fairhope, Daphne, Spanish Fort, Foley, and the surrounding communities for more than 50 years, building a reputation for dependable service across residential and commercial properties. The company provides free estimates and maintains an answering service on weekends to assist customers outside of standard hours. Residents seeking to schedule an inspection or repair can contact our team of experts at (251) 928-9392.


Ingersoll's Refrigeration Air Conditioning & Heating is a family-owned and operated HVAC contractor based in Fairhope, Alabama, serving Baldwin County and the surrounding areas for over 50 years. The company offers air conditioning and heating services, commercial refrigeration repair, commercial vent hood service, and home backup generator services for both residential and commercial clients.

St. Paul Clinic's Play Therapy Program Adds A Nationally Credentialed Clinician After 350-Plus Hours Of Supervised Practice

ST. PAUL, MN - August 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Bridgett Brye, MSW, LICSW, RPT, a child and teen therapist at Sentier Psychotherapy in St. Paul, has been awarded the Registered Play Therapist (RPT) credential by the Association for Play Therapy, a national professional society that sets training standards for play therapy practice. The credential follows a multiyear process requiring 150 hours of play therapy instruction, 350 to 500 hours of direct play therapy with clients, and 35 to 50 hours of supervision from a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor.
The Association for Play Therapy, founded in 1982 and based in Clovis, California, confers three credentials: Registered Play Therapist, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, and School Based-Registered Play Therapist. Applicants for the RPT credential must hold a master's degree or higher in a clinical mental health field, maintain an active state license to practice independently, and complete the association's training and supervision requirements across three sequential phases. The credential is renewed annually and requires 24 hours of play therapy continuing education every three years.

Brye holds a master's degree in Social Work from the University of St. Thomas and is licensed in Minnesota as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). She works with clients from early childhood through young adulthood on concerns including anxiety, depression, parental separation and divorce, identity development and more. At Sentier she has facilitated Kid Calm in the past, a four-week emotional regulation group for children ages 7 to 10, and currently facilitates Changing Families, a support group for children whose parents have separated or divorced.
"Play is a child's language and way of showing how kids experience their world. Play is not always just for fun… it actually serves a purpose! Choosing to pursue my RPT has allowed me to truly join a child in their world, understand what I am seeing and better understand the value in utilizing play to process a child client's thoughts, feelings, curiosities. Becoming a play therapist means learning to become a translator of play," said Bridgett Brye, MSW, LICSW, child and family therapist at Sentier Psychotherapy.
Play therapy is a structured therapeutic approach in which children use toys, art materials, games and other objects to express experiences and work through feelings they may not be able to articulate directly. Sessions typically run 50 minutes on a weekly schedule and include periodic parent meetings, both with and without the child present.
Sentier Psychotherapy operates a child therapy program serving clients from birth through age 11 and older, alongside services for adolescents, adults and families. The clinic's other practice areas include teen counseling, LGBTQIA+ and gender-affirming care, family therapy, trauma treatment, autism assessments, group programming and more. Brye is one of several clinicians on the Sentier child therapy team who have completed or are completing the RPT credential.
"Families arrive at a child therapy practice with no way to evaluate whether a clinician has actual training in working with young children or if that therapist simply enjoys working with them," said Megan Sigmon-Olsen, MSW, LICSW, owner of Sentier Psychotherapy. "A credential that requires several hundred documented supervised hours gives parents something specific to look at. That is the reason our practice invests in it for all of our Child Therapists.”
The Association for Play Therapy maintains a public directory of credentialed practitioners searchable by geographic area, which families and referring providers can use to locate Registered Play Therapists in Minnesota and elsewhere.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmCp8y0u9dM
Brye is currently accepting new child and teen clients at Sentier Psychotherapy. Scheduling inquiries may be directed to the clinic's administrative assistant. Sentier is an out-of-network clinic and offers sliding fee services; billing and insurance information is available on the practice website.
