OwensDriving Safe, for OthersToo often, we witness accidents that could've simply been avoided if everyone would just slow down and pay attention. This is a stark reminder and a tragic event that ended with the death of a young girl who was a passenger in a vehicle driving well over the speed limit at 10 am. If you're not going to drive safely for your own well-being, then do it for your passengers and others on the road.

OwensSchool Security: Communicating With Our ChildrenIt's that time of year when our kids are returning to school. There is a lot of organization to be done and things to get ready. What I believe to be one of the most important things for parents to pay attention to is your child's school's safety and security plan in case the need for a lock-down arises. Don't wait for a critical life emergency to find out what the school's plan is during critical life situations. Ask now!
