National Day of Prayer is May 6, and a group of local women is organizing an event in Centreville.
Vicki Allen, Marlene Hagerman, Barbara Kwiatkowski and Mary Ellen Smith said they and two others meet eachTuesday for a prayer session as a source of personal strength and worldwide hope.
This week, however, the day and location are changing, and they hope strong community support will help them observe the occasion.They are meeting noon to 1 p.m. Thursday at the gazebo on the grounds of the county courthouse, for prayer and music.
“We decided we wanted to get together and promote this National Day of Prayer, with the blessing of our church, Firm Foundation Ministries,” Kwiatkowski said.
Why do people not have on off button when drinking in public? Why do people lose control when drinking in public? Why do people often become belligerent and aggressive when drinking in public? Allied to trying to answer those questions, consider the reluctance of the Lord Advocate some years ago to proceed with cases where the sole charge was the common law crime of breach of the peace. Along with this, consider the diminution over time of the power of the police to arrest without warrant a person who has been accused of having committed a crime shortly before, and detain them in custody until appearance at court.

How did you end up writing for a newspaper? The world’s attention has turned to public health over the past 12 months, so The Herald thought now was the right time to ask a public health specialist to try their hand at a different type of writing. I’m used to drafting academic articles so this will be a new challenge for me.
What’s been the highlight of your career? For six years I’ve combined my University roles with serving as Cancer Research UK’s cancer prevention adviser. It’s a huge privilege to work with a charity supporting life-saving research. I was also fortunate to be appointed as the Usher Chair at the University of Edinburgh in 2018. This is the oldest chair in public health in the UK so I’m following in the footsteps of giants in the field.
