Cardiac calcium scoring relies on a CT scan of the chest to determine how much plaque, or calcium, has built up in the heart. Depending on the test results, patients can better understand their risk of suffering a heart attack over the ensuing 5-10 years. Armed with this knowledge, they can take the appropriate steps to minimize that risk. “This test is not for people who have symptoms of chest pain or shortness of breath. This test is for people who have no symptoms whatsoever, but who have a risk factor such as diabetes, longstanding history of smoking, high cholesterol or high blood pressure, who want to know their true risk of a heart attack and who are willing to take action based on the results,” said Pleasant Valley Hospital cardiologist Tim Damron, MD, FACC. Dr. Damron added that strong family history of heart disease is another risk factor. He says the test is primarily for people ages 45 and older.

Why it’s important: Ohio University provides one-time grant funding University also announces expansion of other aid ATHENS — Ohio University has announced the new “OHIO Get Connected Grant,” a one-time, $750 award to help meet technology needs for all full-time, first-year, degree-seeking students at Ohio University’s Athens and regional campuses. “In every modality, Ohio University is committed to providing a high-quality academic experience for every student. We also realize that it is critical that first-year students have access to the tools and resources they need to succeed as they join our community,” Ohio University President M. Duane Nellis said. “That’s why we created the OHIO Get Connected Grant – to reduce potential barriers that might impede a student’s academic progress. We want our new students to feel connected to OHIO faculty mentors, classmates, and friends, which will strengthen their bonds as the newest members of our Bobcat family.” Full-time, first-year, degreeseeking students on the Athens and regional campuses are eligible for the OHIO Get Connected Grant. To receive the award, a student must be enrolled in a fulltime course load (at least 12 credit hours) by 5 p.m. Friday, August 21. Students will not be required to submit an application to receive funds. The $750 OHIO Get Connected Grant award will be automatically applied to students’ accounts at the start of fall semester. This grant is just one part of the many ways that Ohio University is directing new funding to support students and families during this public health crisis. The OHIO Get Connected Grant is part of a $5 million investment that Ohio University is making to expand financial aid and scholarships to address financial chal- lenges experienced by students and families. Ohio University has also added institutional funds to expand the OHIO CARES Relief Fund to include eligible students enrolled in fall 2020 until funds expire. These funds will assist even more undergraduate students who have demonstrated financial need during these unexpected transitions. “We recognize that many Ohio University students have been negatively impacted by the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting economic disruptions,” President Nellis said. “These new investments represent a just a few of the many ways that Ohio University is working to support our students and their families in this time of crisis.” For more information about Ohio University grants and scholarships, visit https://www.ohio.edu/ financial-aid.

IN BRIEF Satellite images reveal Antarctic penguin haunts BERLIN (AP) — British scientists say there are more emperor penguin colonies in Antarctica than previously thought based on evidence of bird droppings spotted from space. A study published Wednesday by scientists at the British Antarctic Survey counted 61 emperor penguin colonies dotted around the southernmost continent, 11 more than the number previously confirmed. Scientists used images from Europe’s Sentinel-2 satellite mission to look for smudges on the ice that indicated large amounts of guano, or penguin poop. The majestic emperor penguin breeds in remote areas where temperatures can drop as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius (minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit). Researchers have long relied on aerial photographs and satellites to spot colonies of the flightless marine birds. Peter Fretwell, a British Antarctic Survey geographer and the study’s lead author, called the latest count “good news” but noted that the newly spotted colonies were small. “(They) only take the overall population count up by 5-10% to just over half a million penguins or COVID-19 cases, according to ODH, are as follows: 0-19 — 9 cases 20-29 — 4 cases (EdiFrom page 1 tor’s note: The Gallia DHHR, the age ranges for County Health Department has previously the 51 COVID-19 cases reported a 5th case in this DHHR is reporting in Mason County are as fol- age range and one hospitalization.

Pete Hamill, famed NY columnist and novelist, dies NEW YORK (AP) — Pete Hamill, the self-taught, street-wise newspaper columnist whose love affair with New York inspired a colorful and uniquely influential journalistic career and produced several books of fiction and nonfiction, died Wednesday morning. He was 85. Hamill died at a Brooklyn hospital from heart and kidney failure, his brother Denis confirmed in an email. “Pete was truly one of the good guys,” Denis Hamill said. Pete Hamill was one of the city’s last great crusading columnists and links to journalism’s days of chattering typewriters and smoked-filled banter, an IrishAmerican both tough and sentimental who related to the underdog and mingled with the elite. Well-read, well-rounded and very well connected, Hamill was at ease quoting poetry and Ernest Hemingway, dating Jacqueline Onassis or enjoying a drink and a cigarette at the old Lion’s Head tavern in Greenwich Village. near The Plains in Athens County.

There are 147 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history On August 6, 1945, during World War II, the U.S. B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb codenamed “Little Boy” on Hiroshima, Japan, resulting in an estimated 140,000 deaths. (Three days later, the United States exploded a nuclear device over Nagasaki; five days after that, Imperial Japan surrendered.) On this date In 1809, one of the leading literary figures of the Victorian era, poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, was born in Somersby, Lincolnshire, England. In 1911, actorcomedian Lucille Ball was born in Jamestown, New York.

John Hughes, 59, Hollywood’s youth movie director of the 1980s and ‘90s, died in New York City. In 2013, U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan went on trial at Fort Hood, Texas, charged with killing 13 people and wounding 32 others in a 2009 attack. (Hasan, who admitted carrying out the attack, was convicted and sentenced to death.)

Five years ago: The first Republican presidential debate aired on Fox News Channel; when the 10 candidates were asked whether any of them would not pledge to support the eventual GOP nominee, only Donald Trump raised his hand, saying, “I will not make the pledge at this time,” angering Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who accused Trump of “hedging his bets.” Jon Stewart bade an emotional goodbye after 16 years as host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.” “Hamilton,” the hip-hop flavored biography about Alexander Hamilton, the nation’s first treasury secretary, opened on Broadway.

They got there at the start of the window, but after 50 minutes it looked as if the wait would be another hour. Others who had gone through the line told them that they wouldn’t get their results until five days later, a Monday, at the earliest. They were planning to travel the next day, so they gave up. “Monday would have been pointless, so we left the line,” Schumacher said. The number of confirmed infections in the U.S. has topped 4.7 million, with new cases running at nearly 60,000 a day on average, down from more than 70,000 in the second half of July. U.S. testing is built primarily on highly sensitive molecular tests that detect the genetic code of the coronavirus. Although the test is considered the gold standard for accuracy, experts increasingly say the country’s overburdened lab system is incapable of keeping pace with the outbreak and producing results within two or three days, the time frame crucial to isolating patients and containing the virus. “They’re doing as good a job as they possibly can do, but the current system will not allow them to keep up with the demand,” said Mara Aspinall of Arizona State University’s College of Health Solutions. Testing delays have led researchers at Harvard and elsewhere to propose a new approach using so-called antigen tests — rapid technology already used to screen for flu, strep throat and other common infections. Instead of detecting the virus itself, such tests look for viral pro- teins, or antigens, which are generally considered a less accurate measure of infection. A number of companies are studying COVID-19 antigen tests in which you spit on a specially coated strip of paper, and if you are infected, it changes color. Experts say the speed and widespread availability of such tests would more than make up for their lower precision. While no such tests for the coronavirus are on the U.S. market, experts say the technology is simple and the hurdles are more regulatory than technical. The Harvard researchers say production could quickly be scaled into the millions. A proposal from the Harvard researchers calls for the federal government to distribute $1 saliva-based antigen tests “The top will be a strip ad of the state farm. should be 6x2” supply the ad number please. Call for a quote RobinPlease Fowler 342 2nd Ave 740-446-4191 Gallipois, OH www.agentrobinfowler.com 45631 to all Americans so that they can test themselves regularly, perhaps even daily. Even with accuracy as low as 50%, researchers estimate the paper strip tests would uncover five times more COVID-19 cases than the current laboratory-based approach, which federal officials estimate catches just 1 in 10 infections. But the approach faces resistance in Washington, where federal regulators have required at least 80% accuracy for new COVID-19 tests. To date, the Food and Drug Administration has allowed only two COVID19 antigen tests to enter the market. Those tests require a nasal swab supervised by a health professional and can only be run on specialized machines found at hospitals, doctor’s offices and clinics.

(AP) — UConn canceled its 2020-2021 football season Wednesday, becoming the first FBS program to do so because of the coronavirus pandemic, as other schools had taken the Huskies off their schedules and the governor was reluctant to allow UConn to travel to states with high infection rates. “After receiving guidance from state and public health officials and consulting with football student-athletes, we’ve decided that we will not compete on the gridiron this season,” athletic director David Benedict said. ”The safety challenges created by COVID-19 place our football student-athletes at an unacceptable level of risk.” UConn had been scheduled to play its first season as an independent after leaving the American Athletic Conference. The Huskies had already been taken off the schedules of Illinois, Indiana, Maine and Mississippi by those schools, and games against North Carolina and Virginia remained uncertain, UConn officials said. Many of the Power Five conferences are playing league-only games this season. The Huskies began spring practice on Feb. 4 and were one of the only teams in the country to complete a full spring schedule. The team returned to campus in early July and no one has tested positive for the coronavirus, UConn officials said. See FBS | 9 Maple Leafs even series with Columbus, 3-0 TORONTO (AP) — Auston Matthews and John Tavares scored and the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-0 on Tuesday to even their best-of-five qualifying series at one game. Toronto defenseman Jake Muzzin was taken off the ice on a stretcher with 1:52 left in the game after his head made violent contact with Columbus’ Oliver Bjorkstrand behind the Blue Jackets net. Muzzin was attended to by a trainer before more medical personnel arrived on the ice. He was taken to a hospital, but there was no immediate word on his condition. “He was responsive,” Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe said. “We’re just awaiting the assessment.” After he went down Scotiabank Arena fell silent, which seemed even more eerie with no fans in the stands. “It’s difficult, seeing a guy like Jake who is very well-loved in the locker room, being as tough as (he is) being told to lay down and not move,” Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen said. “So we’re really thinking about him and making sure all the right steps are taken and hopefully he’ll recover soon.” Andersen made 20 saves for his third career playoff shutout, and Morgan Rielly added an empty-net goal with 43 seconds left. The Blue Jackets, after shutting out Toronto 2-0 in Game 1, could muster little offense in this one while the Leafs finally solved goalie Joonas Korpisalo, who finished with 36 saves. Toronto came out more aggressively than in Game 1, with much of the game being played in the Columbus defensive zone as Korpisalo was forced to make stop after stop. Five Leafs power plays helped keep the Blue Jackets on their heels.

IU Health said it “appreciates” the speedway’s safety plan, but risks remained too high to host a large cluster of fans. “We have concerns about the risks of infection beyond the scope of the IMS plan, including social gatherings, travel, restaurants, bars, accommodations and other event-related activities,” IU Health said. “This could lead to a spike in COVID-19 infections as we continue to see cases and hospitalizations increase every day.” Penske said the IU Health letter was “disappointing” but did not force his hand. Instead, it simply came down to metrics of how the coronavirus is spreading through Indiana. “The number of cases in Marion County has tripled while the positivity rate has doubled. We said from the beginning of the pandemic we would put the health and safety of our community first, and while hosting spectators at a limited capacity with our robust plan in place was appropriate in late June, it is not the right path forward based on the current environment,” the speedway said in a statement. The first inkling that Penske’s group was waffling came Monday when the speedway confirmed to the AP that the opening day of practice scheduled for next Tuesday had been scrapped. The first day of practice will now be Aug. 12. The only other change to the schedule right now is the elimination of the Pit Crew Competition traditionally held on Carb Day, two days before the race. The pandemic has obliterated the IndyCar schedule, with the series shutting down just two days before its March 15 scheduled seasonopener. The schedule has undergone numerous alterations since, with a West Coast swing to Portland and Laguna Seca canceled last week and doubleheaders added to Mid-Ohio, Gateway in St. Louis and the road course at Indianapolis. Then, days after announcing the latest schedule updates, the Mid-Ohio events scheduled for this coming weekend were postponed. IndyCar has run just six events since the season resumed June 6. Limited spectators have been allowed at doubleheaders at Road America in Wisconsin and at Iowa Speedway, where Penske had to be the race promoter for See PENSKE | 9 �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 8 Thursday, August 6, 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing Defending champ Rafael Nadal to miss US Open amid pandemic Defending champion Rafael Nadal will skip the U.S. Open because of the coronavirus pandemic, putting on hold his bid to equal Roger Federer’s men’s record for Grand Slam titles. Nadal explained his decision in a series of tweets sent in Spanish and English on Tuesday. “The situation is very complicated worldwide, the COVID-19 cases are increasing, it looks like we still don’t have control of it,” Nadal wrote. The 34-year-old from Spain called sitting out the tournament scheduled to begin Aug. 31 in New York “a decision I never wanted to take,” but added that he would “rather not travel.” “Rafa is one of the greatest champions in our sport and we support his decision,” U.S. Open tournament director Stacey Allaster said. The current No. 1-ranked woman, Ash Barty, already had announced she would be missing the U.S. Open.

The professional tennis tours have been on hiatus since March because of the COVID-19 outbreak, with play resuming for women on Monday in Palermo, Italy. The first men’s event on the main tour is scheduled to be held later this month. Nadal’s plan to skip the U.S. Open came shortly after the Madrid Open, scheduled for September, was canceled because of the pandemic. “We know that the reduced tennis calendar is barbaric this year after 4 months stopped with no play,” Nadal wrote on Twitter. “I understand and thank for the efforts they are putting in to make it happen.” In last year’s thriller of a men’s final at Flushing Meadows, Nadal edged Daniil Medvedev 7-5, 6-3, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4 in 4 hours, 50 minutes. That gave Nadal four titles at the U.S. Open and a total of 19 across all the Grand Slam tournaments, just one away from Federer’s career mark.

The last Grand Slam tournament contested without either Federer or Nadal was the 1999 U.S. Open — four years before Nadal made his debut at one of the sport’s four most prestigious events. The USTA has given repeated indications it intends to go forward with the U.S. Open, despite the spikes in cases around the United States, saying in a news release last week: “New York State continues to be one of the safest places in the country as it relates to the COVID19 virus.” That is currently true — although the area was a major U.S. hot spot early in the pandemic, so much so that a building at the U.S. Open site was used as a temporary hospital. New York hospitals saw more than 18,000 patients with COVID-19 at a time in mid-April when infections surged and more than 750 patients with the illness died each day in hospitals and nursing homes.

(AP) — Devin Booker does not like the notion that the Phoenix Suns, whose playoff chances were beyond slim when the season was suspended, should simply be happy to be in the NBA’s bubble. He sees it quite differently. “People can say we have a nothing-to-lose mentality,” Booker said. “We don’t look at it like that.” Hard to argue. The Suns, like a lot of other teams out West, have much to play for right now. The best race in the bubble is the race for the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference — and the right to face LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the playoffs starting in a couple weeks. The Lakers have already clinched the No. 1 seed, and now get to sit back and watch the mayhem that’s about to happen. Here’s the scenario: There are nine days left in the race, with six teams, all with five games remaining, fighting for one spot. It’s looking more and more likely that a play-in series, which will occur if the teams finishing eighth and ninth are within four games of one another when the regular season ends, will happen. And Booker, who fended off SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California prosecutors on Tuesday asked the NFL to remove a video produced as part of the league’s Inspire Change campaign, saying it misrepresents the circumstances leading to the fatal shooting of a Black man in 2018. The video shows Sequette Clark speaking about the death of her son, Stephon Clark, who was killed in the backyard of his grandparents’ home. The shooting led to weeks of protests in Sacramento and across the nation, sometimes disrupting games by the NBA’s Sacramento Kings. “Though well-intentioned, the video performs a disservice instead of a public service by omitting the crucial facts which preceded Mr. Clark’s tragic death,” California District Attorneys Association president Vern Pierson said in a statement. Among other things, the video doesn’t mention that he was suspected of vandalism and was running from police, he noted. Clark turned toward them holding what the two officers said they thought was a gun, but it was a cellphone. NFL officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Attorney Brian Panish, who represented Sequette Clark and other family members in a lawsuit against the city, also did not immediately respond to requests for comment. “My family will never be the same without Stephon,” she says in the video. But she applauded a new California law that attempts to deter shootings by police by setting a higher standard for when officers can use lethal force. “That’s the ultimate goal, to make change,” she says. The association said in a letter Tuesday to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell that it applauds the league’s Inspire Change initiative, which provides grants to nonprofit organizations and showcases players’ community involvement. The grants focus in part on promoting police and community relations and criminal justice reform, according to the league. The video entitled Stephon Clark’s Legacy ’ #EveryonesChild poignantly shows his mother’s loss and pride in her son, Pierson wrote on behalf of the association. But he said it omits some of the background and crucial context, including that both the Sacramento County district attorney and state attorney general ultimately determined that the two officers broke no laws during the confrontation.

Ned Lamont had expressed reluctance to allow the football team to travel to any state with a high virus infection rate. He said the team would be subject to the state’s 14-day quarantine rule upon its return to Storrs from away games. Connecticut, New York and New Jersey have travel advisories that require visitors from more than 30 states and Puerto Rico to quarantine for 14 days, with certain exceptions. UConn officials said they will be reaching out to season ticket holders in the coming days to explain refunds and other options.

The home team will have choice of of jumped in, and I was our last forward and I kind of saw the play get broken up,” Tavares said. “I just anticipated that the puck might be coming the other way, and I was able to get a good beat on it.” Columbus coach John Tortorella was blunt in his analysis. both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George on what became the winning jumper as time expired in Phoenix’s victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday, has the Suns — who haven’t been to the playoffs since 2010 — right in the thick of things. “This whole experience, just being here in the bubble, we wanted to come down here and make some noise,” Booker said. “And that’s what we’re doing.” Memphis still has the upper hand on the No. 8 spot, though the Grizzlies’ grip is less than secure there and Portland got within 1 1/2 games of them by beating Houston on Tuesday night. Memphis is 0-3 inside the bubble, still has a brutal schedule and lost Jaren Jackson Jr. for the remainder of the season on Monday to a meniscus tear in his left knee. As play starts Wednesday, the Grizzlies are still eighth — though Portland, San Antonio, Sacramento, New Orleans and Phoenix are all within that fourgame cutoff to force a play-in series. “We’re fighting,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. The Spurs are trying to become the first team in NBA history with 23 consecutive playoff Handshakes, huddles and hand/back slaps are prohibited before, during and after contests.

Each team’s scorekeeper and one timer are to be the only people at the official table. Libero trackers are permitted to sit at the end of its respective team’s bench. “Toronto played a really good game. We sucked,” he said. Blue Jackets captain Nick Foligno was just as disappointed. “I don’t think we were as sharp tonight as we have been. That’s the difference,” he said. “You can dissect it anyway you want, but ultimately appearances. Like the Suns, they were in a precarious spot when the season was halted because of the coronavirus pandemic on March 11. But a couple wins in the bubble, combined with the play-in opportunity, has breathed new life into the Spurs’ chances as well. “We’re here for a reason,” Spurs guard DeMar DeRozan said. “We’re here to compete no matter who we have, young guys, older guys, whoever. Guys have been doing a great job stepping up, taking on the challenge. We’ve been going out there trying to compete for 48 minutes.” The Suns’ playoff drought is the second-longest one in the league, topped only by Sacramento. The last time the Kings played a postseason game was 2006. As with the other clubs in the West’s race for No. 8, the Kings are also feeling like they’ve got a shot. “We got five games left and if we figure it out — we run these five off — who knows where we are,” Kings forward Kent Bazemore said. “We’re still right in the thick of things. There isn’t a team who’s too out in front. … We’re right there. The optimism is still there.” it came down to we didn’t play a very good game and it’s unacceptable.” NOTES: Columbus was 0 for 4 on the power play. … Blue Jackets D Dean Kukan left the bench for observation in the first period after a big hit by Toronto’s Kyle Clifford but returned THURSDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 (N) WTAP News (N) ABC 6 News at 6pm (N) Arthur NBC Nightly News (N) NBC Nightly News (N) ABC World News (N) TravelDarley "Culpeper, Virginia" Eyewitness ABC World News (N) News (N) 10TV News CBS Evening (N) News (N) America Eyewitness Says News (N) BBC Outside BBC World Source News: America 13 News at CBS Evening 6:00 p.m. (N) News (N) 6 PM 6:30 tions are not permitted.

Gheen, Jayden Johnson, From page 1 “It isn’t how I imagined my first days as camp manager would be.” Lawrence said. The area around Canter’s Cave in southern Ohio has been a site of human activity for thousands of years. Indigenous peoples and later Europeans found a naturally occurring shelter formed by the confluence of Canter’s and Echo Caves. A stream running through the shelter with salt licks on both sides of it’s banks also attracted wildlife. Prehistoric Hopewell inhabitants, Shawnee and other modern Native Americans, and early European pioneers were frequent inhabitants of this safe sanctuary abundant in wild game Since it’s purchase by 4-H in 1949, Canter’s Cave and now more than 350 surrounding acres have served as the site of summer camps for 4-H programs in 10 southeastern Ohio counties. Along with traditional 4-H camps, programs including STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) are now part of the offerings. A statewide 4-H Shooting Sports program provides safety training for youth and adults in various shooting and study disciplines. Additional training is provided through Living History sessions where instructors choose a particular era in time as a teaching tool. The 4-H motto is “4-H for everyone”, and to that end camps are Royalty From page 1 fire department. She is a member of the Eastern Eagles Archery Club.

As an added bonus for wedding couples, there is an ordained minister on site. At a recent wedding the minister didn’t arrive and the couple thought the wedding would be canceled. When Lawrence was advised of the problem, she was able to come to their rescue. “I told them I could marry them,” Lawrence said. They were pleasantly surprised and readily agreed, and Lawrence performed her first ceremony at Canter’s Cave. 2020 will be remembered as the year with no 4-H camps at Canter’s Cave for the local counties of Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Pike, Scioto and Vinton, and for those who come from across the state for their programs. “There isn’t anything we can do to change that, guess as the saying goes ‘we are making lemonade out of lemons’, and we will be ready to reopen as soon as we have the OK to do so.” Canter’s Cave 4-H is located at 1362 Caves Road in Jackson, Ohio.

After working a few jobs after graduation, she was excited the position at Canter’s was open, and immediately applied. “I was so happy to be accepted for this position, this has always been like my second home, and now I live here,” she said “Part of the job is living on the premises and for me, that’s another dream come true.” “This place is amazing,” Lawrence said. “It is just beautiful here, and I am doing something I love.” She shared another reason she was excited to have the position, saying now she is on the other side and the one to work with the kids and bring the same experiences and fun that she had to their programs. “Kids from a group of rural counties get to come to camp, meet other people, and experience something new they might not have otherwise. Campers learn the value of nature, of the outdoors, of working and learning together in this beautiful setting.” Lawrence emphasized that while the camp was formed and promoted for 4-H, it offers something for everyone. Part of the complex is the Elizabeth L. Evans Outdoor Education Center whose purpose is to provide not only a place for youth, the Center also hosts adult activities including resident camping, retreats, and seminars and other programs. The Center can also provided for youth with special needs. Canter’s holds statewide camps for campers and their caregivers, offering them a “true experience of Camp while meeting their needs and letting them set their own pace for fun and success” according to Canter’s philosophy. After such a long and active history, it seems strange for the area to be so unusually quiet. Lawrence said she and the rest of the staff are using the time wisely, although in a different way than planned. “We are working on projects that we might not have had time for if the camp was open,” she said. “We are still welcoming small adult groups for retreats, seminars, and weddings, but it is definitely not the busy place it usually is in summer without the kids.” Lawrence, a graduate of Southern Local High School in Racine, Ohio, said she was very active in 4-H and spent her summers at Canter’s. “I grew up in 4-H, I was nine when I joined, and coming here to camps was part of that.” She said her 4-H endeavors included many miscellaneous projects, raising rabbits, and sewing, and that sewing was her favorite. Lawrence took top prize over the years in several categories, including sewing. “And I was Fair Queen,” she said with a smile. “I did a little of everything, that’s the 4H experience, getting to try lots of things and be with other kids who share your interests.” Lawrence attended 88° 64° 64° Daily Sentinel 106° in Phoenix, AZ 32° in Daniel, WY Global High Low Houston 96/77 Monterrey 91/72 Miami 92/80 118° in Beni Abbes, Algeria 5° in Summit Station, Greenland Weather(W): s-sunny, pc-partly cloudy, c-cloudy, sh-showers, t-thunderstorms, r-rain, sf-snow flurries, sn-snow, i-ice. �Daily Sentinel Thursday, August 6, 2020 11 Y L T C E F R E P & R E D N TUEARANTEED DELICIOUS G THE BEST STEAKS OF YOUR LIFE OR YOUR MONEY BACK GET THE OMAHA STEAKS CLASSIC INTRODUCTORY PRICE: 12999 $ 4 (5 oz.)
