Friday, April 9 was opening day at the Penobscot Valley Country Club in Orono.. I arrived at the country club at 12:30 p.m. and was looking to tee off despite not having a tee time. I was told that I could take the 12:40 tee time because the group scheduled for that time slot had cancelled. I rushed to the first tee box, put my tee in the ground, placed my ball on the tee and stepped back. I stretched for a minute, and started to walk up to my ball to take my first shot of 2021.
As I approached my ball I heard someone yell in the distance, “Does anyone know CPR?” I stopped approaching my ball, looked up and saw golfers on the course from various holes all run and gather on the third hole. Moments later police and paramedics arrived at the scene. An ambulance drove down the golf course to the crowd of people. I stood on the tee box for around 30 minutes observing the crowd I had no idea what was going on or who the paramedics were attending to.

Four concerned parents over their school district’s high school graduation ceremonies met with the superintendent to voice their concerns, the parents say.
Olentangy Local Schools planned this year’s commencement with a similar look to 2020. Some parents that spoke to 10TV were hoping the district would rethink their decision, and pitched a new proposal Wednesday.
“I do believe the district has fully evaluated all of the options,” said Denise Steele, the mother of an Olentangy High School senior. “ I feel they have put in a lot of time and energy and they have really put a lot of thought into it and I think our conversation with them today was helpful in explaining what we are hearing from parents.”
