NEWS briefly EDUCATION SCRIPPS NATIONAL SPELLING BEE CANCELS NATIONAL FINALS The Scripps National Spelling Bee is canceling its 2020 national finals due to the ongoing concerns about the spread of the novel coronavirus and uncertainty around when public gatherings will be possible or advisable.  This decision follows the Bee’s announcement on March 20 that it was suspending the national finals and hoped to reschedule. The Bee has determined there is no clear path to safely set a new date in 2020.

While plans for the 2020 championship have ended, the Bee is engaging with students and parents by offering educational resources and social media-based learning opportunities. School enrollment season for 2021 opens May 1, 2020.

Barber offers tips to keep safe and healthy during COVID-19 Continued from page 1 BY TIA CAROL JONES

Larry Robert, Jr., is the owner of Larry’s Barber College. He has been cutting hair for 33 years and owns six locations of barber colleges in Illinois and in Dallas, Texas. While Robert’s students can’t service clients or come into the building, they are doing distance learning. As barber shops, beauty salons and nail shops have been closed during the stay-at-home order because of COVID-19, once they re-open, people are wondering, what safety precautions should be taken to ensure the health and safety of workers and patrons. Roberts said that as a barber who has been through training, he understands safety protocols. “We don’t need anybody to tell us to wash our hands, because it’s what we’re supposed to do anyway,” he said. “Nobody has to tell us to sanitize and disinfect.” Roberts said that infection control

is taught in barber colleges and beauty schools, with books and is required in order to get a license. “So, basically, the precautions that need to be made, it’s just that we go back to basics and we do what we should have been doing in the first place,” he said. Some of those infection controls include accidental release measures, which are recommendations on the appropriate responses to spills, leaks or releases, including containment and cleanup practices to prevent or minimize exposure to people, properties or the environment. “People don’t know that people can die sitting in your chair, whether it be a chemical reaction gone wrong, hair color not properly tested, it can be so many different things,” he said. “So, we teach bacteriology, microbiology. There are so many things that we have to teach about all the risks.” Roberts said disinfectants can destroy most bacteria, fungi and viruses on surfaces, but it can’t destroy spores

in the air and he added hair care workers also use wet sanitizers, like Barbicide. “But before you put your combs and brushes and different things in the Barbicide, or [in] wet sanitizer[s], you have to wash them with soap and water first, then you completely submerge them inside the wet sanitizer jar.” Roberts also said that it is good for barbers and hair stylists to use the disinfectant sprays, like Lysol, to sanitize the chair, after each client gets out of the chair. He even suggested using gloves. “There needs to be better measures as to how to handle it,” he said. “If you have 20 clients, that means you have to change your gloves with every client. The nucleus of it is that we need to properly sanitize and we need to properly disinfect.” Roberts said that people need to be completely educated on health and safety measures to deal with COVID-19 upon returning to the shops and salons.

Babyface Tests Positive for COVID-19, but is “So Blessed” Babyface, the award-winning music producer behind some of the biggest artists, songs and record label, LaFace records, revealed that he too had been stricken with COVID-19. “I feel so blessed to be able to celebrate another birthday,” confessed the Grammy-award winning producer in an Instagram post. “I tested positive for the COVID-19 virus, as did my family,” he wrote. “It’s an incredibly scary thing to go through, my friends,” the 62-year-old

singer and songwriter shared. “I’m happy to report we have now tested negative and are on our way back to full health,” Babyface said in a news release. Once a person is exposed the coronavirus, the body starts producing proteins called antibodies to fight the infection. As these antibodies start to successfully contain the virus and keep it from replicating in the body, symptoms usually begin to lessen and you start to feel better. Eventually, if

THE AMERICAN BAR FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES 2020-21 ACCESS TO JUSTICE FACULTY SCHOLARS The American Bar Foundation (ABF) recently announced the 2020-21 cohort of ABF/JPB Foundation Access to Justice Faculty Scholars.

Biden Wants Michelle Obama as Veep TEMPERING ANY ENTHUSIASM OF A BIDEN-OBAMA TICKET, BIDEN ADDED THAT, “I DON’T THINK SHE HAS ANY DESIRE TO LIVE NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE AGAIN.” HE CONCLUDED THAT IT’S STILL TOO EARLY TO SELECT A RUNNING MATE.

BY STACY M. BROWN NNPA Newswire Senior Correspondent @StacyBrownMedia

Is a return to the White House by the Obama family in the cards? It can happen if former First Lady Michelle Obama would accept a public invitation from former Vice President and presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden. On Tuesday, April 21, Biden said Obama tops his list of potential vice presidential candidates, and the country would be better served if she joined his ticket. Neither Obama nor her husband, former President Barack Obama, have commented on Biden’s statements, which he first made on KDKA television in Pittsburgh. Remarkably, the comments have not yet gained traction in the media, but a KDKA source pointed NNPA Newswire to the video clip that the station says has gained a lot of momentum in the Pittsburgh area. “I’d take her in a heartbeat,” Biden said of Michelle Obama in the video viewed by NNPA Newswire. “She’s brilliant. She knows the way around. She is a wonderful woman. The Obamas are great friends,” he said.

On Tuesday, April 21, Vice President and presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden (left) said Michelle Obama (right) tops his list of potential vice presidential candidates, and the country would be better served if she joined his ticket.

Tempering any enthusiasm of a BidenObama ticket, Biden added that, “I don’t think she has any desire to live near the White House again.” He concluded that it’s still too early to select a running mate.

During the most recent debate in Washington, D.C., in early March, Biden pledged to select a woman as his running mate. That promise sparked a national discussion about who would best serve as vice president. Among the names bandied about

in the media have been California Sen. Kamala Harris, former Georgia Rep. Stacey Abrams, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. “In terms of who to pick, we’re just beginning the process,” Biden told KDKA. “We’ll shortly name the committee to review this and begin to look through the backgrounds of the various potential nominees. And that’s just getting underway.” “I’ll commit to that be a woman because it is very important that my administration look like the public, look like the nation. And there will be, committed that there will be a woman of color on the Supreme Court, that doesn’t mean there won’t be a vice president, as well,” Biden said. “I think it’s really important now that we establish once and for all, we should have had a woman president already, in Hilary (Clinton), in my view,” Biden added. “There are a number of qualified women out there.”

COMMENTARY

The Political and Healthcare System is Broken and Corrupt in America BY ROGER CALDWELL NNPA Newswire Contributor

“History is bound to repeat itself. Look at what went wrong in 1918 (Spanish Flu). Then do the opposite,” says the History Channel. President Woodrow Wilson was the American President in 1918, when 675,000 Americans died as a result of the Spanish Flu and over 20 to 50 million people died around the world. This pandemic happened 100 years ago, and a lack of leadership from the federal government helped the flu spread like wildfire. President Woodrow Wilson took no decisive measures with a coordinated federal plan and gaps were filled at the state and local level. There was a general lack of preparedness and the public health infrastructure was inadequate with no leadership and organization. Public officials lied, made up facts and 25% of the military personnel who had the flu, infected the citizens around the country. The flu started in March 1918 and the second wave came in the fall, when the majority of Americans died. This mysterious strain of the flu happened during the end of World War I and moving lots of men and materials in crowded conditions contributed to the spread of the virus. America and nations around the globe refused to lockdown their

countries and the flu spread rapidly. “The chaotic culture of the Trump White House contributed to the crisis. A lack of planning and a failure to execute, combined with the president’s focus on the news cycle and his preference for following his gut rather than the data cost time and perhaps lives,” says Eric Lipton of the NY Times. The 1918 pandemic lasted 1 year and there were 3 different waves where the majority of people died. In order for the 2020 pandemic to end in America, the entire country must be shutdown in every state and the president must place large-scale orders for masks, protective equipment, critical hospital equipment, ventilators and community leaders educating their constituents. This is not a time for “happy talk.” The Coronavirus Task Force must enforce the quarantine with military forces and local police. China started its lockdown on January 23, 2020 and by the beginning of March, the country was starting to open back up. They were able to get infected cases to low levels, and the United States must follow the same course of action. The population practiced social distancing and the government was able to test on a wide scale. At this point, America’s testing process has failed, with testing of less than 1% of the population completed. There is no vaccine and more healthcare workers are getting infect-

ed with the virus with no time off. Before the country can be opened, there must be widespread testing and a national database of cases to prevent the spread of the virus. With over 500,000 thousand Americans infected with the virus, and the most citizens to die in any country — over 20,000 — the political and healthcare system is broken. Instead of the pandemic slowing down, it is speeding up and rapidly growing. In the African American community, the coronavirus is exposing systemic

www.citizennewspapergroup.com

racism with frightening numbers. In Chicago, the Black population is 29% but 70% of the people dying from the virus are Black. In Louisiana, the Black population is 32% but 70% of the people dying from the virus are Black. In other cities, like Washington, DC, Baltimore, Detroit and Dallas, there are alarming numbers that indicate health disparities are killing more Blacks. No one will save Blacks but us. However, Black leaders must sound the alarm. When America gets a cold, African American get pneu-

monia. There is a failure of leadership with President Donald Trump and his Vice President Mike Pence managing and running the Coronavirus Task Force. They have done a terrible job, lying to Americans, with a general lack of preparedness. There is glaring incompetency in Trump’s handling of the crisis, and the failure of testing has spread the virus. As our president continues to fabricate the truth at every daily briefing, don’t believe anything President Trump promises.

Family Features - You’ve made the decision to get in shape, and whether your goal is a full marathon or simply a few laps around the neighborhood, there are a few steps to consider taking before you strap on those shoes and head toward the finish line. Here are a few tips to help get you ready for the big race: Seek Quality Sneakers – Feet come in a variety of widths and sizes, so visit a specialty running store to find perfect-fitting sneakers. These may come with a hefty price tag, but there are no shortcuts for comfort and support while running long distances. Make a Schedule – Try to aim for at least 10 hours of training per week, including three days where you run and two or three days of other physical activity such as cycling or strength training. To avoid exhaustion, be sure to include at least 1-2 “rest” days per week. Stick with Water – Avoid sports drinks that are loaded with preservatives and sugars. You can’t go wrong with the hydrating

power of water. As a rule, try to consume at least 6-8 ounces of water for every 20 minutes you run. Proper hydration after the run is also vital. Go Online – Many websites have training guides for various skill levels or different types of races. If you have a smartphone, look for apps that can take you through day-by-day workouts to get you marathon-ready. Nutrition – Filling your body with the proper amount of fuel can help ensure finish-line success. Load up on quality carbohydrates, such as beans, peas, whole-wheat pastas, whole-grain cereals, apples, brown rice and root vegetables. Protein also plays an important role in a runner’s nutrition, so fill up on lean meats, fish, eggs, lowfat dairy, peanut butter and soy protein sources, as well. By following these general rules, you’ll be able to focus on achieving your goal and enjoy the thrill of finishing the race. Find more tips for a healthier lifestyle at eLivingToday.com.

Commit to a more financially sound future and stick to it StatePoint - When people consider adopting healthy habits, they often forget to take their financial health into consideration. But your financial health can be equally, if not more important to overall happiness than other goals, such as starting a new diet or joining a gym. So how can savers commit to a more financially sound future and stick to it? Here are some top tips for achieving greater financial happiness. • Embrace uncertainty. When it comes to markets, the only known is the unknown. And many experts believe that 2020 could be a particularly unpredictable year. In fact, research from Lincoln Financial Group shows that 76 percent of investors feel the upcoming presidential election will affect the market. Taking steps to protect your finances and retirement plan can help you feel less anxious and more empowered in uncertain times. • Protect your income. Lincoln Fi-

nancial’s research also shows that 82 percent of pre-retirees are rightfully concerned about what will happen to their investments if the market drops. For this reason, many advisors suggest diversifying your portfolio to include an annuity with optional income benefits. “An annuity can provide a source of lifetime income that’s protected from market losses, and a better ability to create a retirement budget -- all of which can make for a less stressful and happier overall retirement,” says John Kennedy, who leads sales for retirement solutions at Lincoln Financial. • Build a new relationship… with a financial professional that is. A trusted financial professional will look at your financial situation holistically to help you determine whether you are on track or need to rebalance your accounts, help you employ tax-saving strategies, answer your toughest questions and help you strengthen

your own financial know-how. Most importantly, building a relationship with a financial professional means bringing predictability to your future in an unpredictable market. Setting goals? Take the retirement questionnaire at LFG.com to find out what you need to do to reach your goals. Be sure to factor financial health and happiness into the new-you equation. With a few smart strategies, you can feel more confident about a financially sound future and retirement, come what may.

Standard Motor Products Manufactures Heat Exchangers For Medical Oxygen Devices Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) recently announced that its Temperature Control Division has delivered heat exchangers suitable for oxygen concentrators and oxygen generators, key components used in the production of medical ventilators. With the recent high demand for oxygen and ventilating equipment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, SMP received an emergency request to deliver 1000 units this month. Because the factory maintains and manufactures to the strict standards and controls required for medical applications, SMP employees were able to swiftly turn around the needed units and expedite them to California. The SMP® heat exchangers play a key role in controlling the oxygen temperature and concentration in complete ventilator system operation.

Commenting on this initiative, Mike Carney, vice president temperature control division, SMP noted, “I couldn’t be prouder of our employees who were able to quickly convert our heat exchanger production line in these extreme times. By efficiently producing these critical components, we’re able to support potential life-saving efforts”. SMP has committed to using its engineering and manufacturing expertise to provide support to the healthcare community during this exceptional time. In addition to supplying this critical ventilator component, SMP has designed and produced protective face covers for healthcare workers. Using 3D printing along with traditional assembly, SMP’s Poland facility will continue to manufacture and distribute these PPE’s to local hospitals.

NFL & Players Coalition Commit $3 Million+ to Communities of Color in Support of COVID-19 Relief The NFL, through its Inspire Change platform and the Players Coalition, recently announced a donation of $3,050,000 to seven markets that have been significantly impacted by COVID-19. Recipients of the funds include health systems, individual hospitals, and non-profit organizations in Atlanta, Ga., Baltimore, Md., Chicago, Ill., Detroit, Mich., Florida, Louisiana, and Washington, D.C. While the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting our communities nationwide, reports show that communities of color, specifically African American communities, have seen disproportionately high rates of devastating impacts. As part of the multi-year, ongoing collaboration of NFL players, clubs and owners to address racial inequality and social injustice, the Players Coalition recommended the organizations which were then approved by the broader Player-Owner Social Justice Working Group. These emergency donations come from the NFL’s dedicated social justice investment. Beneficiaries were selected based on rates of impact and community needs. “We know that during this difficult time, our minority and low-income communities are struggling disproportionately with the

impact of COVID-19,” said Players Coalition co-founder and Working Group member Anquan Boldin. “Communities in Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore and more are getting hit hard right now, and we want to do our part in ensuring these areas have even the basic needs. We are glad we can partner with the NFL to support the organizations who are on the ground providing for these families.” “This is a difficult time for our nation, and it is important for us to continue to find ways to support those that need it most,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “We have an opportunity to direct financial resources to the hardest hit populations. This pandemic is having

a tragic effect on communities of color and through Inspire Change and our relationship with the Players Coalition, we are pleased to be able to help where we can.” “It’s especially critical to provide extra support for our minority communities who don’t always have access to the basic necessities,” said Players Coalition Task Force member and Working Group member Kelvin Beachum. “We are thankful we can give to the hospitals and organizations in COVID-19 hot spots that are supporting our minority communities and fighting to save lives during this pandemic.” More than $50 million has been donated to date in support of COVID-19 relief by the greater NFL www.citizennewspapergroup.com
