Health official apologizes after kids' lemonade stand shut down

But on Tuesday, the girls said, a Health Department inspector told them they didn't have the proper business licenses and were selling unsafe ice cubes. The girls were using powdered lemonade mix with ice cubes bought from a store.
A resident, O.V. Carreathers, 48, had registered a complaint about the stand last Friday with the city's Citizens Service Bureau. The girls didn't work Monday, but the inspector found them Tuesday.
Carreathers said she wanted to keep the girls off her property: "I just didn't want them blocking my walkway."
