Judges, publishers, elected officials, realtors, executives, educators, business owners, superintendents and more were all in attendance at a luncheon on Thursday hosted by Kena Blain, publisher of Osceola Woman Newspaper.  Yes, here in Osceola County we have a powerful, energetic and professional group of talented women that are making a difference in our community. It was impressive to see a full house at Thursday’s event. Future events are planned for upcoming months; we encourage your attendance (both women and men).

The health of a community depends on different factors including the environment, education, jobs, income, access to quality healthcare and our own individual behaviors.

Soon after the explosions, there appeared on the website of The Boston Globe a video of the moment. Runners in the city’s iconic marathon are jogging across the finish line and everyone is cheering, when there is a clap of thunder and an orange bloom of fire from within a ring of flags honoring the nations represented in the race. It is followed, seconds later, by another blast from just down the street. The cheers become shrieks, falsetto shrills of panic and fear and the videographer carries you forward, to where the smoke is drifting and police, runners and bystanders rip barricades apart trying to reach the epicenter of chaos.
