WOOD RIVER JCT. â The pandemic has impacted almost every Chariho activity, including the districtâs 10th annual Shakespeare Competition. But as everyone in the performing arts knows, the show must go on, so the competition took place virtually last Thursday.
Four students competed this year and a team of judges chose a winner based on each studentâs score.Â
Mya Card, a junior, sophomore Isaiah Planck, junior Christian Sullivan and freshman Regan Clark each presented a monologue from a Shakespeare play as well as a sonnet.
English teacher and Shakespeare Club adviser Sandra Laub hosted the event.
âWe have rehearsed and prepared for this day in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the English-speaking Union, a 100-year-old national organization,â she said. âWhat a strange and genius adaptation this year has been for everybody, and I want to thank those students, all four of you, for joining us in this unusual year in Shakespeare.â

February 16, 2021 (New York, NY) – Women of the Vine & Spirits (WOTVS), the leading membership organization, worldwide, dedicated to boldly pushing the wine, beer and spirits industry toward a more diverse, equitable and inclusive era has announced program details for its virtual event, WOTVS CONNECT! to be held March 8, on International Women’s Day.
Women of the Vine & Spirits chose to go virtual in 2021, an opportunity they are seizing to allow for more participation from their global membership. With more than 160 Corporate Member companies, whose employees receive complimentary access to the event, WOTVS CONNECT! will be the first time the organization can accommodate all of its Corporate Members – as historically, its sought-after annual events sell out.
WINNIPEG A Manitoba nurse said she developed concerning symptoms minutes after receiving her first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. “Right away I felt just off, dizzy, a headache came on and my throat started to feel itchy,” Regan Clark told CTV News Sunday. The 39-year-old correctional nurse received her shot in the arm Friday, January 8. She was placed under observation by paramedics and eventually sent home. But Clark said her symptoms continued for days, and no one from public health called to check up on her that weekend. Health Canada, which approved the vaccine, said it is safe and effective, but warned people with allergies to any of the ingredients should not receive it.
