| | |  |  Brawlers Arrested at Youth Baseball Game
One person was injured, and three were arrested after a brawl at a youth baseball tournament in Winter Haven on Saturday. Police said that during the game, the umpire gave a verbal warning to the coach of one of the teams. Following the warning, the umpire's father was pushed and then punched by the father of one of the players. Seeing his father attacked, the umpire left the field in an attempt to separate the two men. The umpire was punched from behind and knocked to the ground as the dugout of the team that had been warned emptied out to join the fight. One person was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated for his injuries. His father did not require medical attention. Two adults and one 17-year-old player were charged with battery, and the adults were taken to the Polk County jail. | New Cancer Therapy Arrives in Jacksonville The Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville will host the first carbon ion therapy program in the U.S. and the Western Hemisphere. Gov. Ron DeSantis, with his wife Casey, made the announcement last week. The state contributed $30 million to the new facility.

Carbon ion therapy is one of the most advanced radiation treatment technologies in the world, designed for hard-to-treat and treatment-resistant cancers. The treatment had previously been available only at a limited number of facilities in Asia and Europe. Casey DeSantis was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021 and, after undergoing treatment, was declared cancer-free in 2022. | Report: Florida 11th Worst State to Raise Families According to a new WalletHub study, Florida ranks in the bottom quarter of states considered the best for raising families in 2026.

Millions of women experience bladder leaks, urgency, or discomfort. Recent scientific research is uncovering a new piece of the puzzle: the urinary microbiome. Recent medical studies have found that the balance of bacteria in the urinary system is closely linked to bladder symptoms and overall comfort. When helpful bacteria are out of balance, it may contribute to irritation, sensitivity, and leaks. That's why many women are now exploring microbiome-focused support. FemiCore is a daily supplement formulated with targeted probiotics and plant-based ingredients designed to support urinary balance and bladder comfort. It's not a medication, but it offers a science-based way to support bladder health as part of a wellness routine. To learn how this emerging research works, watch the free educational video below.
