TULSA, Oklahoma -
One of News On 6’s own coworkers is finally home after battling COVID-19 since November. Nearly 50 Griffin Communications employees cheered on Randy Smith as he was released from rehab Wednesday.
Randy is the director of our radio sales team and he was very emotional as he left the doors of the rehab center.
He said he s incredibly thankful for all the prayers and well wishes that got him through the past five months.
“First month I don’t remember at all, on a ventilator in the ICU but after that when you’re starting the rehab process you wonder, ‘how did I get hit with COVID this badly and other people don t even know they have it,’ said Randy.

The only live portion of the festival was piano, which began on Monday and will run through to Wednesday, March 10, all at the T.C. Douglas Centre, and the few entries for band-instrumental will be held on Wednesday evening. The piano adjudicator is Janis Smith. “Technically the piano is not a live festival. Due to COVID regulations, we cannot have an audience,” said Music Festival president Heather Sidloski, explaining how this portion of the festival will run. “Any parents who are coming to the festival will be given ‘volunteer duties’ to help produce our ‘virtual festival’. They will video their child’s performance and then if they choose will post it on their Facebook page and/or the Music Festival Facebook page. We do have a live adjudicator and everything else for piano will run as normal,” she explained.
Janis began teaching in 1982 and joined the faculty at the Conservatory of Performing Arts, University of Regina in 1990. For several years she was Head of the Piano Department. In addition, she sat on the Scholarship Committee and for a time was interim assistant co-ordinator, served on the Faculty Advisory Committee, and produced the “Tune into the Conservatory” TV series. Janis has served on the executive of the Regina Musical Club, Art School Sask and on the Board for OSAC. She is a member-at-large of the Sask. Registered Music Teachers’ Association. She has judged competitions for Regina Musical Club, sat on the OSAC selection committee, and has also been a member of the Music Selection Committee for the Provincial Syllabus of the Saskatchewan Music Festival Association.
