EDMOND On a windy afternoon of filming at Wantland Stadium, Emily O Banion efficiently distributes over-the-counter remedies for headaches, heartburn and seasonal allergies to crew members chronicling the action on the University of Central Oklahoma football field.
But as with so much else about the movie business, what goes on away from the set happens to be just as vital to the final results.
Since last May, O Banion and her company, Oklahoma Set Medics, have administered about 50,000 COVID-19 tests and been credited with ensuring that the state s film and television industry has been able not just to survive but to thrive during the coronavirus pandemic.

National Library Week
To kick off National Library Week this week, the City of Savannah Municipal Archives shares this information of Savannah’s historic libraries.
The Carnegie Library on East Henry Street was both the first public library constructed for Savannah’s African-American community, as well as the first freestanding public library built in Savannah. The Carnegie Library was established by the Colored Library Association of Savannah who had started a “Library for Colored Citizens” in 1906, relying on donations for a book-lending facility they operated out of a doctor’s office.
