Orlando Sentinel

Fifteen years ago on February 18, Dale Earnhardt -- a widely loved and respected professional driver for NASCAR -- was killed in an accident at the Daytona International Speedway. This event incited a legal battle in the state of Florida between Earnhardt’s family, local lawmakers, and journalists from the Orlando Sentinel that lasted for years over the rights that journalists have in accessing sensitive information in order to do their work.

For example, the studio is located near a slight mountain range. The mountains look phenomenal up close and they give me a sense of how small humans are compared to the…

As a child, my parents shaped me into their ideal image of a little girl. The formation of their ideals actually started long before I first opened my eyes in the hospital. My story began back in 1988, when my parents met while working at Walt Disney World as cultural exchange workers from Canada. Their romance is a fairy tale. They had their first date at the Magic Kingdom, they spent all their days off on a Florida beach, and they experienced the technical magic that Disney is so well-known…
