#20 Visual Journalism

  My Track & Field Journey at SAU Track and Field doesn’t get as much recognition or hype as football or basketball would.  However, track is an extremely competitive sport and it's one of the only sports in which you compete against yourself. I have been running track ever since I was 10 years old. Being able to still run in college and being offered the opportunity to run track at Southern Arkansas University was a huge honor and blessing that I will forever cherish. From freshman year up until now my track career here at SAU has been an amazing journey. For my visual journalism presentation I decided to showcase what my track and field experience has been like so far here at SAU. Freshman Year 2018-2019        Coming in as a freshman, I was nervous about how I would perform. Here is a picture of my teammates and I at our first indoor track meet of the season in 2019.

  Ohio Public Records    As I stated in my last blog, public records are pieces of information that are not considered confidential and generally pertain to the conduct of government. It is also information that is recorded and stored by the government in which the public can have access to it. Public records can mean more than criminal records or driving records. Do you ever wonder what happens behind the scenes of public records? What does a public office have to do when it receives public record request?     A public office must organize and maintain its records to meet its duty to respond to public records requests and must keep a copy of its records retention schedule at a location readily available to the public. When it receives a public records request for specific existing records, the public office must provide inspection of the requested records during regular business hours or provide copies within a reasonable period of time. A requester is entitled to delivery of copi
