A BINGO hall in Greenock has had a full house of vaccine patients over the last few weeks. Bingo 3,000 has stepped in to do its bit in the fight against coronavirus as it helps Ardgowan Medical Practice roll out the second Covid-19 jag. Practice manager Angela Owens said she had been looking for a suitable venue for their 75+ and shielding patients and she thought the bingo hall would be ideal. A total of 7,000 patients have been vaccinated over the last four weeks. Angela said: Our first vaccination roll-out was in Greenock Town Hall and at Greenock Health Centre, but when the Town Hall became a mass vaccination centre, we had to find another venue because of social distancing.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Angela Owens has been named director of New Mexico State University’s Glass Family Research Institute for Early Childhood Studies, an innovative institute that seeks to influence policy and practices related to New Mexico’s young children, families and early childhood educators.
The institute focuses on contemporary interdisciplinary research, educational degree offerings, university and community lab schools and collaborative partnerships at the international, national, state and local levels. It was made possible by a generous gift from Smoky Glass Torgerson and her husband, Alan, and is housed in NMSU’s College of Education.
On Monday night, just a few weeks after a freak deep freeze brought Texas to the brink of an electric-grid collapse, the surviving members of the Texas metal band Power Trip gathered at guitarist Nick Stewart’s house in Dallas.
The four Stewart, 32; guitarist Blake Ibanez, 29; drummer Chris Ulsh, 33; and bassist Chris Whetzel, 33 had spread out across the state and country during the fall and winter surge of the pandemic. They’d hadn’t all been in the same room since the early fall of 2020.
“I just got here like five minutes ago; it’s so strange to me to be seeing these guys for the first time in six or seven months,” said Ulsh, who now lives in Philadelphia.
