The American Red Cross is testing allblood, platelet and plasma donations forCOVID-19 antibodies, providing donors in-sight into whether they have been exposedto the coronavirus. At the same time, therecontinues to be an urgent need for blooddonations as hospitals resume surgeriesand treatments that require blood products.

Antibody testing will indicate if thedonor’s immune system has produced an-tibodies to this coronavirus, regardless ofwhether they developed symptoms.Donations will be tested using samplespulled at the time of donation and sent toa testing laboratory where they will alsoundergo routine infectious disease testing.A positive antibody test result does notconfirm infection or immunity.

COVID-19 antibody test results will beavailable within 7–10 days in the RedCross Blood Donor App or donor portal atRedCrossBlood.org. The test has been au-thorized for emergency use by the U.S.Food and Drug Administration.

The Red Cross is not testing donors to di-agnose illness, referred to as a diagnostic test.

Blood is needed every day to treat pa-tients with a variety of urgent and routinemedical care. The Red Cross supports pa-tients at nearly 3,000 hospitals nationwideand 40 hospitals in Central Ohio.

Donation appointments can be made by

downloading the free Blood Donor App,visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enablingthe Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echodevice.

The Lexington High School Admin -istrative Team has been planning forseveral weeks to have numerous plan op-tions in place for if the restriction of massgatherings was lifted.

The best scenario would be to holdgraduation in the football stadium. Theteam certainly looked at this plan, butwould need two days prior to prepare thestage and seating. This will be the numberone option if the governor lifts the massgathering restrictions by June 25.

The second best plan would be to holdgraduation in the student lot across fromthe high school on Clever Ln. This ideawas considered three months ago, but all

school facilities were deemed closed.Storyside Church approached the team toprovide an alternative to graduation butthe team prefers that graduates be able towalk across the stage at LHS.

At this time, graduation is planned forSaturday, June 27, at 2 pm, at the studentparking lot across from the school. Thesame guidelines will be maintained (onecar per graduate).

If the Governor lifts the mass gatheringrestriction, and the school gets the greenlight from the health department by June25, a notification will be sent via theRemind App that graduation will bemoved to the stadium.

HBO recently premiered a well done TVmovie based on the biggest embezzlementscandal in the history of schooling — BadEducation. Hugh Jackman stars in one ofhis best performances as Dr. FrankTassone, a superintendent for a LongIsland school district which, since his timethere, has put the district in the top five inthe entire country. He is well loved by stu-dents, parents and teachers.

It turns out Frank is not who he says ordoes business like anyone thinks. Whendoing research for a new walkway theschool is building, a young student writingfor the school’s newspaper uncovers shadydealings and strange monetary movementsin some of the public record.

Soon, Frank and another employee atthe school Pam Gluckin (Allison Janney)are trying to get out from under the factthat they have stolen millions.

Hugh Jackman is one of those actorsthat can do so many things but this movieis such a showcase for his talents. He de-serves to be nominated for awards as thisman who has everyone in the palm of hishand and then his whole life starts tocrumble. Jackman plays this part well also

balancing another subplot where Tassonehad convinced everyone his wife has diedbut in fact was a gay man hiding hislifestyle.

Jackman and Janney do terrific workand also Ray Romano is certainly worthmentioning as the head of the schoolboard who is blindsided by all of this. Thereal Tassone and Gluckin went to prisonfor their crimes but how this all unfoldedfrom a student writing an article is veryinteresting and director Cory Finley does afine job telling the story.

Seek out Bad Education if you are a fanof true crime stories like this as Jackman,Janney and Romano all deliver fine per-formances. The movie itself is good butnothing to overly praise about.

It goes along like most true stories usu-ally do, however it’s one certainly towatch.

Look for The Entertainment Examiner’svideo posts on YouTube.

Shrimp Scampi over a Polenta Filled TomatoBy Kim Sterry

In Kimmyscucina we always love the way that recipes come together! For this one, webegan talking about a stuffed tomato. We didn’t really know what we were going to usefor our stuffing and began talking about different salad options, well as you can see,we are far from that thought. We love to talk about food and the many options thatyou have when you are developing a recipe. We hope you love this as much as we do,it was definitely a hit and will be on the menu again. We made this the other nightwhen we had one of the first few nice evenings to beoutside, so of course, this made it taste so much bet-ter. Kimmyscucina LOVES to be dining Al Fresco!Ingredients

2-3 lbs shrimp We used extra large (peeled & deveined)2 cups Semolina1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese2 cups Polenta Prepared as per package instructions4-5 Roma Tomatoes Cut in half and scoop out center2 cups Olive Oil5 cloves garlic1 lemon Zest and JuiceSalt & Pepper

Instructions1. Prepare polenta according to package instructions.(See Note Below) When cool enough to handle filltomatoes. (you can prepare the polenta well ahead and have this all done, you wouldjust need to allow the extra cooking time if polenta was cooled). Put stuffed tomatoeson an oiled baking sheet and cook at 350 for 15 minutes (or until heated through andtomatoes begin to soften).2. If you haven't toasted your sourdough bread, now is a good time to do that. Justbrush with olive oil and sprinkle with some salt and pepper and put in 325 oven for10–15 minutes, watch and turn half-way through.3. In a saucepan add the olive oil and garlic, heat until garlic is soft and can be masheddown. Keep the temperature on low and add lemon juice and zest. Keep warm and setaside4. Mix semolina and parmesan in a bag or large dish. (I like to use a bag for easycleanup). Put shrimp into semolina mixture and coat well. Put on an oiled bakingsheet. Set Aside.5. In a 350 degree oven bake the shrimp for 6-12 minutes, turning half-way through.6. To assemble, you can do this on individual plates or on a large platter. Lay the sour-dough bread down, add the polenta stuffed tomato and then top with a shrimp. Scatteradditional shrimp around the plate. Drizzle with the garlic oil and you are ready toserve. Shave some fresh parmesan cheese over the top.Notes: You have some options when you prepare your Polenta. Your instructions will tellyou to use water. If you would like some more flavor, you can use chicken or vegetablebroth. For this particular recipe, I used something I had left over from another recipe,which included a mixture of chicken broth, white wine and some butter. Your possibilitiesare endless.

Cleveland Clinic Children’s has beennamed a national leader in clinical care,according to U.S. News & Report’s 2020 -2021 “Best Children’s Hospitals” rankings.

Cleveland Clinic Children’s – an integralpart of Cleveland Clinic, which wasranked as the nation’s No. 4 hospital in2019 by U.S. News – earned nationalrecognition in 10 specialties: cancer (17),cardiology and heart surgery (15), diabetesand endocrinology (44), gastroenterologyand GI surgery (12), neonatology (14),nephrology (35), neurology and neuro-surgery (25), orthopedics (26), pulmonolo-gy (32) and urology (23).

For 12 consecutive years, ClevelandClinic Children’s has ranked among thenation’s top 50 pediatric hospitals. Thisyear, four of those specialties ranked inthe top 20 in the nation (cancer, gastroen-terology and GI surgery, neonatology, andcardiology and heart surgery) and sevenof those specialties ranked as best inNortheast Ohio (cancer, cardiology andheart surgery, gastroenterology and GISurgery, neonatology, nephrology, neurol-ogy and neurosurgery, and urology). Nochildren’s hospital in Northeast Ohioranked in more specialties than ClevelandClinic Children’s.

“We are incredibly honored to be rec-ognized by U.S. News & World Report,”

said Karen Murray, M.D., chair of ClevelandClinic Children’s. “This is a reflection ofthe dedication, compassion and hardwork of our caregivers to provide the best,high-quality care to our patients and theirfamilies. While COVID-19 has transformedour world and the healthcare industry, ithas not and will not impact our missionto continue to provide world class care.”

Over the past year, Cleveland ClinicChildren’s has been at the forefront ofclinical innovation and research in pedi-atrics. Hospital highlights include:

•A multidisciplinary team of specialistsrepaired spina bifida birth defect prior tobirth, in a nearly 23-week-old fetus.

•An innovative split-liver and hearttransplant surgery gave a young patient asecond chance at life, with the best out-comes in the region.

•Magnetic spinal rods help improveoutcomes and quality of life for young pa-tients with scoliosis.

•A groundbreaking study showed thatholding off a newborn’s first bath – 12hours or more after birth – can improvebreastfeeding rates.

•A large data-mining study showed thatdigital conversations provide a neededemotional outlet for teens and adultscoping with epilepsy.

Cleveland Clinic has cared for infants,

children, and adolescents since its doorsfirst opened in 1921. Now, it’s more than300 pediatric specialists and subspecial-ists– and more than 50 outpatient sites –provide the full spectrum of primary, spe-

cialty, and subspecialty pediatric care tothe largest patient population of any chil-dren’s hospital in Northeast Ohio, anddoes so with the highest level of family-oriented care, as close to home as possible.

Ride, who had earlier pursued a professional tennis career,answered a newspaper ad in 1977 from NASA calling for young tech-savvy scientists who could work as mission spe-cialists. The United States had screened a group of female pilots in 1959 and 1960 for possible astronaut training butlater decided to restrict astronaut qualification to men.
