May isNationalTeen Self-

EsteemMonth, and topromotepositive self-esteem instudents,BenjaminLogan Schoolssocial workerEmily Poolhas developeddaily “self-esteem tips”to post onsocial mediathroughoutMay.

Pool is tasked withimproving the social andpsychological functioning ofstudents in the district. Shespends time weekly in eachbuilding, though the great-est need for services tendsto be at the middle schooland high school, she said.

A child of local educa-tors, Charles and CindaBlair, it was her dream tobring social work servicesto schools in her commu-

nity. A Logan Countynative, she spent 19 yearsat Logan County Children’sServices in various capaci-ties, including creating andimplementing a schoolservices position toimprove relationships andcommunication withLogan County schools.

Pool took a position in2014 as an outpatient ther-apist at Consolidated CareInc. (now TCN BehavioralHealth) in Bellefontaine. Inthis position, she gainedexperience and a passionfor mental health services.One of her duties in thisposition was providingcounseling to students atBenjamin Logan Schools.

In the spring of 2018,Benjamin Logan created aschool social worker posi-tion in response to stu-dents’ need for mentalhealth services and Poolwas offered the positionand said she was excited tocontinue working in thedistrict.

“Benjamin LoganSchool District is special. Itfeels like a family. The staffare truly dedicated to theeducation and well-beingof students.

“Our students atBenjamin Logan and theirfamilies are outstanding,too. I am thankful everydayto work in a job where I amable to build relationshipswith so many great people.”

Building relationshipswith her students and theirfamilies and creating a safeand trusted space wherethey can talk about what-

ever challenge they may befacing is a big part of herwork.

“Relationships are soimportant. Research indi-cates that young people dobest when they experiencestrong, positive relation-ships. Some of the benefitsinclude increased academ-ic motivation; increasedsocial-emotional growthand learning; increasedsense of personal responsi-bility; and reduced engage-ment in a variety of high-risk behaviors,” she said.

Pool has learned a lotabout technology sinceschools have implementedremote learning. It is moredifficult to maintain contactwith students when schoolis not in session, but likeeveryone else during thistime, she is improvising.

“I have tried to be cre-ative in developing ways tocontinue to support stu-dents and families duringthis time. I want folks to feelcomfortable, so they decidewhat method of communi-cation we will use and wemake it work!

“I have shared so manyresources with students,staff and families that theymight be getting annoyedby now. I hope they know Ijust want to support them. IfI see something that I thinkcan help, I pass it along.”

On a typical day, Poolmeets with students whohave been referred to herby building guidance coun-selors, administrators andcaregivers. Occasionally,students have referred

themselves or their friendsfor services. She also worksclosely with the school’scounselors, psychologist,and nurse to address theconcerns of high-needsstudents and those receiv-ing services.

The social worker alsolends assistance to teach-ers and classrooms in needof support or to studentswho have been pulled outof class and may be strug-gling, and also facilitates aweekly social/emotionalskills class at the highschool.

Pool, who obtained abachelor’s degree in psy-chology from Wright StateUniversity and master’sdegree from The Ohio StateUniversity in social work,also engages in regular col-laboration opportunitieswith other social workers inthe community, including

the Mental Health andDrug and Alcohol ServicesBoard of Logan andChampaign counties, vari-ous local health care andbehavioral health careproviders and social serviceagencies.

“Our community part-ners are vital. They havesupported us throughtragedies that have impact-

ed our staff and students.They help us gather infor-mation about our students’needs through surveys andscreenings.

“They guide us in imple-menting quality preventionefforts to support our stu-dents and provide or assistus with the resources to doso,” she said.

Benjamin Logan stu-dents Winnie Bodin, sixth-grade and Averi Lane, 10th-grade, presented their scien-tific research projects at thelocal and district level, andrecently learned that theirprojects have been selectedto compete at the 2020Virtual State Science Day.

Despite the unusual cir-cumstances this year, theOhio Academy of Science ismaking every effort toensure that students havethe opportunity to present atState Science Day. Eachyear, thousands of Ohio stu-dents complete independ-ent research projects at theState Science Day event, ahighlight of student-basedscientific-research.

Virtual judging of StateScience Day projects willoccur from approximatelyTuesday, May 26, throughTuesday, June 2. Projectscores will be posted the fol-lowing week on or beforeJune 12. A State Science Dayprogram will be printed afterthe event and mailed to stu-dent participants.

Winnie shared informa-tion about her project titled,“Biological and ChemicalAssessment of VariousLocations on the Mad Riverover Two Years.”

“My project began withan assessment of the MadRiver that I monitored overtwo years. Each site was test-ed for macroinvertebratesand chemical characteristicsonce every three monthsover the course of a year.

I collected macroinverte-brates using kick seine tech-nique, and they were identi-fied and a pollution toler-ance index was recordedbased on the taxa collected.”

She said the the chemicalassessment was obtainedusing A.P.I. (AquariumsPharmaceuticals Inc.)Freshwater Master TestingKit, and the water was test-ed for pH, ammonia, nitriteand nitrate levels. Winniealso measured dissolvedoxygen and water tempera-ture each time using vernierprobes.

“My hypothesis was thatthe Mad River water qualitywould be poor due to previ-ous years of research show-ing poor quality and alsobecause it is lacking a wood-ed riparian zone thereforethe river lacks shad,” thesixth-grader said.”Myhypothesis was partly sup-ported because the PTI waspoor; however, the chemicalparameter and oxygen lev-els were considered at agood level.”

Averi’s project was titled,“The Effects of GrowthRegulators on TomatoPlants.”

“Through my experi-ments, I have treatedDelicious variety tomatoplants with three types ofgrowth regulators to see theresult of increasing ordecreasing specific planthormones,” she said. “Thegrowth regulators I amusing are Gibberellins 4+7,Paclobutraol, andEthephon.”

She related thatGibberellins causes theplants to grow taller,

Paclobutrazol makes themshorter, and Ethephonmakes them exhibit a stressresponse.

“I currently have approx-imately 100 plants growingas part of my experiment. AsI continue to treat themwith growth regulators, I willsoon be able to see what the

effects of hormones are onthe fruits themselves, inaddition to the growth ofthe plants.”

Benjamin Logan teacherSpencer Reames has pro-vided guidance and supportto Winnie and Averi duringtheir research projects.

DARLINGTON, S.C. —Chase Briscoe capped aheartbreaking week bywinning the Xfinity Series’return to action atDarlington Raceway onThursday.

Briscoe was in theDarlington infield Tuesdayawaiting the race’s originalstart when he digitallyjoined wife, Marissa, for a12-week exam for theirexpected baby. The couple

heard the tragic news:There was no fetal heart-beat. “The worst news Icould’ve heard,” Briscoeposted on Instagram onWednesday.

Still, Briscoe was in thelineup for the series’ firstaction since March 7 dueto the coronavirus pan-demic, and used two strongrestarts and a quick pitstop to finish on top. Hegot the lead out of the pitsduring the final caution,then pulled away from KyleBusch and Justin Allgaier

on the subsequent restartwith seven laps to go forhis fourth career win andsecond this season.

“This is the biggest dayof my life after the toughestday of my life,” Briscoesaid.

Busch seemed to havethe race in hand as hetook the second stage in adominant showing. But hewas called for speeding inthe pits and ordered to theback of the 39-car field.

But Busch was there to

challenge Briscoe at theend, the cars touching offthe final turn beforeBriscoe crossed the finishline in front by 0.08 sec-onds.

Allgaier was third,Austin Cindric fourth andNoah Gragson, the pole sit-ter who won the first stage,was fifth.

For Busch, it was anoth-er error that cost him a winat Darlington. In theNASCAR Cup Series raceWednesday night, he

clipped Chase Elliott late tocause a spin — Elliott wait-ed and extended his mid-dle finger at Busch — andfinished second to JoeGibbs teammate DennyHamlin.

Busch was satisfied withhis run.“ I had a goodshowing, put on a little bitof an exciting show there atthe end,“ he said.

Busch and Timmy Hillwere in all three Darlingtonraces. The two plan to runall four races at Charlotte,too.

After the delay Tuesdaybecause of rain, morestorms delayed theplanned noon start foranother 4 1/2 hours.

NASCAR’s Cup Serieshad a successful return atDarlington with two races.

Kevin Harvick earnedhis 50th Cup win when hetook Sunday’s race, thefirst for the series in 10weeks while Hamlin won arain-shortened raceWednesday night, the firsttime the series ran on thatday since 1984.

Chase Briscoe’s heartbreaking week ends with Xfinity victory

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —Kyle Busch is NASCAR’sreigning Cup championand the resident villain ofthe series. Chase Elliott hasbeen voted most populardriver the last two yearsand is quickly building aloyal and rabid fan base.

Their on-track tussle atDarlington Raceway thisweek very well might bethe start of a new rivalryNASCAR needs.

Busch admittedly mis-judged a gap and uninten-tionally wrecked Elliott inwhat turned out to be thefinal green-flag lap ofWednesday night’s race.Elliott crashed, climbed outof his car, waved off medicalpersonnel and waited onthe apron for Busch to circlethe track under caution.

As Busch passed, Elliottgave him a long, middle-finger salute.

The tension didn’t endthere, either. Rain openedup over the South Carolinatrack moments after theincident and drivers weretold to bring their cars to pit

road. When Busch parked, agroup of Elliott’s teammembers stared him down.

Among them was Elliottcrew chief Alan Gustafson,who was Busch’s crewchief when Busch drove forHendrick Motorsportsearly in his career. Buschwas informed over hisradio he had a welcomingcommittee waiting for him,and one of his own JoeGibbs Racing crew mem-bers sat on the wall directlynext to Gustafson as a defacto bodyguard.

A NASCAR official even-tually told all the mask-clad crewmen to get backover the wall, the race wascalled because of rain andBusch appeared to have acivil discussion withGustafson.

NASCAR once thrivedbehind strong rivalries butthey have lessened over theyears into brief feuds orspats. Busch had an ongo-ing issue with BradKeselowski for severalyears, while Matt Kensethand Denny Hamlin bothtangled with Joey Logano.Nothing developed intoanything like the battles

between Richard Petty andDavid Pearson or how DaleEarnhardt and Jeff Gordonraced for supremacy inNASCAR.

Busch initially did notrule out retaliation fromElliott down the road.

“Him and I have always

had a cordial relationshipover the years,” Busch said.“I’ve known him since hewas 12 or 13 years old, beenracing with him ever sincethen, late models, superlate models, trucks, Xfinitycars, all that sort of stuff.

“I just made a mistake,

misjudged the gap, senthim into the wall. That wasentirely unintentional. I’lldefinitely reach out to himand tell him I’m sorry, tellhim I hate it that it hap-pened.”

Busch said after finish-ing second in the Xfinity

Series race Thursday thathe had spoken to Elliottand “it went really well.Chase is a class act.”

There is limited mediaavailability to drivers underNASCAR’s current healthprotocols and Elliott wasnot able to commentWednesday night. He isscheduled to speak to themedia Friday.

The series was suspend-ed 10 weeks during thecoronavirus pandemic andjust restarted Sunday.Kevin Harvick won the firstrace at Darlington, Hamlinand Busch gave Joe GibbsRacing a 1-2 finish inWednesday’s race at thesame track and the CupSeries is next back in actionthis Sunday at CharlotteMotor Speedway.

Busch’s teammate,Hamlin, said Thursday thatBusch handled the fallout“the best he possibly could.He owned up to it and heknew he made a mistake.“

Hamlin also noted he’dbeen cut off twice by Elliottin the two Darlington racesand chalked up the aggres-siveness to drivers pushinghard after the long layoff.

LAS VEGAS — Add boxing tothe list of sports on the comebacktrail.

Promoter Bob Arum saidThursday he plans to stage a cardof five fights on June 9 at theMGM Grand, the first of a seriesof fights over the next twomonths at the Las Vegas hotel. Asecond fight card will be held twonights later, with ESPN televisingboth cards, kicking off twiceweekly shows at the hotel in Juneand July.

No fans will be allowed, andArum said fighters and everyoneelse will be tested at least twiceduring fight week for the newcoronavirus. The fights are pend-ing approval of the NevadaAthletic Commission, whichmeets next week to consider theevents, along with two cards thatthe UFC plans to stage at its facil-ity in Las Vegas.

They are also pending thereopening of the MGM and otherLas Vegas hotels, something thatis widely expected to happen thefirst week of June, though nodates for a second phase of eas-ing virus restrictions have beenannounced by Nevada Gov. SteveSisolak.

“Once we get those fights inand UFC gets its initial fights in,both of us will ask for additionaldates,“ Arum told The AssociatedPress. “The key was getting

enough testing, and we’ve gotplenty of testing in Nevada tohold our events.”

In addition to Arum’s fights,British promoter Eddie Hearnsaid this week he plans to holdfights beginning sometime inJuly from the backyard garden ofthe family mansion outside

London where he was raised.Hearn told The Athletic that thefirst fight card is tentatively setfor July 15.

Golden Boy promoter OscarDe La Hoya has also talked aboutreturning with a July 4 card,though he has offered no details.UFC returned to action earlier

this month with cards in Florida,including a pay-per-view event,that took place without fans.

Arum declined to say whowould be fighting on June 9, say-ing ESPN wanted to make theannouncement after the fightsare approved. But he said thecards would feature the same

quality of fighters who were onESPN before the shutdown ofsports around the world.

The cards would be expandedto three-hour shows, Arum said,and feature a main event, a co-main and three supporting fights.

“These will be the same guyswe were going to have before tothe extent possible,” he said.“Guys like (Olympic medalist)Shakur Stevenson and otherswho would have been fighting onour cards.”

Stevenson was set to headlinea Top Rank card in March atMadison Square Garden when itwas called off at the last minutebecause of the pandemic.Another Top Rank fighter,Ireland’s Michael Conlan, was tofight in New York on St. Patrick’sDay, but Arum said Conlan won’tbe on the upcoming cardsbecause he’s unable to travelfrom Ireland.

Arum said fighters and corner-men will be tested when theyarrive in Las Vegas the week ofthe fight and will be housed on a“bubble” floor at the MGMGrand. They will be allowed outonly to eat at an approved restau-rant in the hotel or to train at theTop Rank gym.

Fighters will also be tested thenight before they fight. The dou-ble tests should eliminate theissue the UFC had when a fightertested positive and was removedfrom the UFC 249 card, Arumsaid.
