Strength and conditioning training for girls and young women is becoming more and more common as training techniques evolve to meet the needs of young athlete. That's why it is so important for each athlete to take care in how they approach strength and conditioning training. It's more than just deciding to pick up weights and start lifting. Making sure you know what your goal is and taking care to lift correctly for your body type and other factors are urgently important in getting the most out of a strength and conditioning routine. Brea Cinnamon, Physical Therapist at OSF Saint Luke Medical Center, talked to WKEI about the benefits and keys to strength training specifically for young women. It's not all that different from the advice given to young boys but there are a few things to keep in mind.

On Wednesday, the Henry and Stark County Health Department released the latest Recovery Rate Data for the combined counties. Today, on the WKEI morning, we talked to RaeAnn Tucker from the Health Department about the latest numbers and delved into a question that has been raised repeatedly on social media on the reporting of deaths related to COVID-19. RaeAnn Tucker told WKEI that the reporting of deaths between the local level and state level can be staggered due to the intent to determine that indeed COVID-19 was a contributing factor in the death. More important however, is remembering that the 7 people who have died from COVID-19 related issues in Henry and Stark County, are members of families, mothers, daughters, fathers, sons, husbands and wives and so on. Each of these people were members of a family and a community. They may be parts of our statistics but they are not just statistics in this ongoing pandemic. They are the human cost of COVID-19.
