But you already know that. Smoking kills more African Americans than AIDS, drug and alcohol abuse, car crashes, and murder combined. And 70% of us who smoke use menthol cigarettes. That’s no coincidence. You’ve spent decades pushing menthols into Black communities with cheap prices and slick advertising. And the worst part is, you think you can keep getting away with it. You come after our brothers, sisters, parents, and friends. Now, we’re coming after you. We want you out of Black neighborhoods, because our lives are worth more than your bottom line.

The National Newspaper Pub lishers Association (NNPA) and the National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters (NABOB) are working together to encour age the media and advertising industries to become more pro active and committed to diversity from the C-suites to the deci sion-making managers. But more needs to be done to increase and to enhance the ownership of media businesses by African Americans and other minorities.

The Biden Administra tion and concerned legis lators have done what they can to restrict gun own ership, given our nation’s gun culture and our com batively divided Senate. There is a new gun safety law, and some survivors of mass shootings joined him at the White House to cel ebrate the legislation. Yet, even after Congress passed the law, we learned that the new law would not have pre vented the Highland Park shootings, as the 18-yearold man who did the shoot ings purchased the assault weapon he used legally. The Safer Communities Act, passed on a bipartisan basis last month, is a step in the right direction, but it doesn’t go far enough. We need to use economic tools or inject economics into the conversation about gun safety. Those of us who are disgusted by mass shoot ings have some weapons at our disposal to punish those who participate in, and encourage, our gun culture. Those of us with stock port folios must insist that our money managers avoid stocks like Smith and Wes son (SWBI), which pro duced more than 1.5 million guns in 2020. If more peo ple who say they hate gun violence stopped invest ing in gun manufacturing companies, perhaps these companies would rethink their manufacturing, mar keting, and lobbying. Gun ownership has been cleverly marketed, with companies using buzzwords like safety, to encourage gun purchases.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

There have been at least 214 mass shootings in the United States so far this year, the most recent being the killings during a July 4 gather ing in Highland Park, Illinois. This year, we have also been both riv eted and horrified by the massacre of 21 people, 19 of them children, in Uvalde, Texas. A crazed racist killed 10 Black people and wounded at least three others when he shot up a Tops grocery store in Buffalo. In 2022, there have been more shootings than days; the shootings have become commonplace.

Thus far, 2022 has been a year of multiple socioeconomic and political challenges for all Amer icans across the nation. Yet for African Americans and other communities of color, this year represents both challenges and opportunities from a business ownership perspective. In par ticular, for Black-owned media businesses there is a growing sense of resilience even in the face of continued profound racial disparities and societal inequi Theties. communications and media industry in America especially should be one of the leading industries that adopts the “good business” sense to embrace the values and benefits of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). This is not about charity or benev olence. Diversity is objectively good for business.

EDITORIAL/COMMENTARY/OPINION OUR VOTE: OUR WEAPON AGAINST RACISM

Those who are survivors of gun violence and their fami lies should sue the gun man ufacturers who produce the deadly weapons that make massacres possible. Earlier this year, Remington (RGM) agreed to pay the families of the 2012 Sandy Hook shoot ing, where 20 children and six educators were killed. The families of victims in Uvalde, Buffalo, and High land Park should consider pursuing similar lawsuits to punish those companies that flood deadly weapons into the Thosepublic.who facilitate the gun possession of young shoot ers should also be sued. In the Highland Park case, the shooter’s father, Bobby Crimo, said that he’d done nothing wrong in signing his son’s gun permit application. From all indications, his son Bobby Crimo, Jr. was trou bled. He’d once threatened to kill his family, sparking a police investigation. And yet his dad signs for a gun per mit. Sue him. If those who mindlessly sign gun permits understand that there are financial con sequences to their actions, they might think again. We can also use our tax or surcharge system to restrict the distribution of ammu nition. The comedian Chris Rock had it right when he said in 2009, “You don’t need no gun control, you know what you need? We need some bullet control. I think all bullets should cost five thousand dollars… five thousand dollars per bul let… You know why? Cause if a bullet cost five thousand dollars, there would be no more innocent bystanders. Every time somebody got shot, we’d say. . .He must have done something … he’s got fifty thousand dol lars worth of bullets in his behind. .. Rock might have been jok ing, but I’m not. We use our tax system to encourage or discourage specific behavior or to cover the costs of such behavior. We use gas taxes to maintain roads. We impose cigarette and alcohol taxes to discourage consumption. Why not tax bullets (or mandate a surcharge) to dis courage their use. If we want to slow or stop gun violence, economic tools might well be the answer. Dr. Julianne Malveaux is an economist, author, and Dean of the College of Ethnic Studies at Cal State LA.

Soo Kim, a successful Asian American business leader, who serves as Standard General’s founding and managing part ner, emphasized “We’re open to exploring new partnership mod els to get diverse viewpoints and perspectives on the air and to make sure people have the resources to do it.” We agree with this sentiment as multiracial ownership of Amer ican media businesses will con tinue to be viewed as a strategic forecast for the future economic well being of the nation. The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights has pointed out, “Access to the media by the broadest sector of society is crucial to ensuring that diverse viewpoints are presented to the American people, but racial and gender disparities in media ownership dating back to the beginning of the civil rights era continue to persist.” Again, over coming these disparities should be a national media industry pri “Atority.a time when more people, particularly Black people, are dis trustful of the media, diversity in media ownership,” the Leadership Conference argues, “has become more important than ever for the functioning of our democracy. Diversity in ownership is part of that solution.” We agree with the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights’ position on this Lastly,issue.asour nation prepares for the upcoming Midterm Elections in November, there are many who are predicating low over all voter turnout. Millions will be spent on Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) campaigns. Those who desire to increase GOTV among African- Americans and other communities of color will have to engage Black owned media as the “Trusted Voice” of Black America in order to increase voter turn out.

The recent electoral primaries are giving us important insight into the future poli tics of our country. All one has to do is look at the number of Trump supporters win ning primary elections for a place on the November General Election ballots. Eight out of ten of the Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump have either lost their primaries or decided not to run again. Just this week, we saw Congresswoman Elizabeth Cheney lose her primary race as a Wyoming Republican to a Trump supporter of the “Big Lie” that Pres ident Biden did not win the election. Let there be no doubt that racism in the form of fear of the Black and Brown voting elector ate is at the heart of the Trump movement of voter suppression and planned efforts to decertify future elections. Our vote is our most important weapon against this movement of racism cloaked in the “Make America Great Again” movement (MAGA). When we allow low voter turnout in the primary elections, we set the stage for the big November General Election Repub lican sweep that would not only give back control of the U.S. House of Representa tives and the Senate, but also encourage the acceleration of Hate Crimes we are presently experiencing against people of color. If we want victories during and after the General Election of November 8th, 2022, we must get involved NOW. How? Check your Voter Registration. If you have moved since the last election, fill out a new voter registration form. We have them available at the Voice & Viewpoint office, or, go online. It was our votes that gave the state of Geor gia two democratic Senators, shifting the balance of power in the U.S. Senate back to the Democrats. If Black Votes Matter (BVM), then we must vote because there are enough of us to make a difference in the general elections this November. If we plan to vote then we need to be sure we are registered and at the present address. If we don’t vote, then we can’t complain about rent increases, gas prices, lack of daycare, and job opportunities. We will stay on this issue until we see some activities. We are less than 90 days from the election. What are you doing? Our vote is our weapon because there are only three things that corporate America fears: (1) lost profits, (2) bad publicity, and (3) a vote cast against corporate interest. Our vote has been our weapon since the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which the U.S. Supreme Court has sought to dismantle. Now that Trump has stacked the Court with his conservative right judges, our vote for those who sit in the Congress and the Sen ate represents the only way to neutralize bad Court decisions like Roe vs. Wade. Again, are you preparing to vote or will you just leave it to others to fight for your rights?

On June 11, 2022, two San Diego Military Veterans witnessed a ceremonial unveiling of their memorial plaques. The plaques were installed in their honor at Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial. They have become the latest among a few Black vet erans of the 5,000 plaques at the Memorial. R. J. Coleman and his cousin Carl W. Coleman were invited to visit the Memorial site, unaware that some 75 friends and fam ily had gathered to surprise them with the unveiling of their plaques. Both Veterans heard individuals express love for them and heart-filled pride for their service to the Military. Mt. Soledad has the unique distinction of being known as the only vet eran memorial honoring veterans living or R.J.deceased.Coleman originally joined the National Guard, but one year later he was drafted into the U. S. Army. As a Korean War Era Veteran, he served 3 years of active duty as a Transportation Specialist, a Squad Leader and Platoon Leader. R. J. later retired from the City of San Diego after 40 years of ser vice. Carl W. Coleman joined the United States Navy in June of 1961 and received basic training at San Diego’s Naval Training Center. Carl is a Vietnam War Veteran, having served two years in the Far East. Carl served much of his tours of duty aboard the USS Providence and still com memorate his tours with former crew mates. Following 4 years of active duty, he retired from Solar Turbines after 37 years of employment.

Mother Harmon was excited to share that the Police Chief and Fire Department came to honor her and she was delighted to see them participate in the Electric Slide. A represen tative from St. Stevens Cathedral Church presented Kathleen a copy of the Juneteenth play bill that featured Kathleen as a “Women who was a champion for change.” Details about Kathleen’s tremendous and rich his tory was bulleted within the bill and the rep resentative read it word for word. Dancers, musicians, and community mem bers paid homage to Kathleen to celebrate her 91st year on this earth, and some of us sat in awe of the greatness we all came to know, love and respect. Mother Harmon fought and advocated for many years to see that the rights of her community were being respected and fought for in many different ways. Those that knew her best and wanted to show their appreciation for the work she put in were there to celebrate a milestone that few people get to reach. There was a steady stream of community families and friends throughout the celebra tion that included a cake shared with all. Happy Birthday, Queen Mother Harmon! May all your blessings continue to be laid in front of you and your work continue to leave a mark within the community you so richly love and a community that most certainly loves you back!

• Risk reduction for diabetes, celiac disease, even certain types of childhood cancer

• Risk reduction for metabolic and cardio vascular disease and cancer in the parent August 25th through the 31st is the 10th annual year of Black Breastfeeding Week (BBW). Created in 2013 by 3 national breastfeeding advocates, BBW is a direct response to racial disparity in breastfeeding rates, and to provide support and guidance to Black Accordingmothers.tothe Centers for Disease Control, fewer than 60% of Black mothers have ever breastfed, compared to 75% of white mothers. This is due to many reasons that even reach back through history. “From our role as wet nurses in slavery being forced to breastfeed and nurture our slave owners children often to the detriment of our children, to the lack of mainstream role models and multi-generational sup port , to our own stereotyping within our community—we have a different dialogue around breastfeeding and it needs special attention,” says the BBW website. Moreover, the CDC also says that Black babies die at twice the rate as white babies, which makes it even more important to breastfeed as it has been shown to decrease infant mortality up to 50%.

The County of San Diego was awarded $6 million in Proposition 47 grant fund ing that will be used to help people returning to their communities after serving time in County jails. The financial support is ear marked for those leaving custody who have a history of behavioral health needs and are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The County will also leverage an addi tional $4 million for a total program of $10 million. “The goal of this grant and the work of the Community Care Coordination team is to help people leaving jail to gain independence, reduce criminal behavior and future returns to jail, and there fore improve public safety,” said Andrea Pella, director of Prevention, Diversion and Re-Entry for San Diego County. “This program will provide connections to care and housing resources for those who may have other wise been homeless upon their release from jail.” The proposed program is modeled after San Diego County’s Community Care Coordination program that connects people to the ser vices they need in the com munity. Prior to their release from jail, an adult in custody is referred to a team of cli nicians and peer support specialists with lived experi ence.

milk to our UC Health Milk Bank will help make sure that it gets to the children who need it most,” said Lisa Stellwagen, MD, executive director of the UC Health Milk Bank and pediatrician at UC San Diego Health. “Families with extra milk are incredibly generous in wanting to take the time to donate and feed the chil dren of others.”

The American Academy of Pediatrics recently updated its recommendation to include six months of exclusive breastfeed ing, with continuing breastfeeding through the first two years of life. Studies have shown that human milk provides optimal nutrition to the most vulnerable babies. “Neonatal intensive care units nationwide are providing breast milk to premature and low birth weight infants. We have observed that a higher utilization of breast milk, either from the parent or a donor, is trans forming the care of our tiniest and most critically ill patients,” said Karen Mestan, MD, chief of the division of Neonatology at UC San Diego Health. Launched in 2020, the University of California Health Milk Bank, operated by UC San Diego Health, is the first milk bank in the San Diego region, and only the sec ond of its kind in California. The milk bank provides pasteurized donor human milk to hospitals for feeding sick or premature infants and to families at home who wish to provide human milk for their child. Milk is prioritized for babies with medical needs or who are newborns.

The number of coronavirus deaths fell by 9% in the last week while new cases remained relatively stable, according to the latest weekly pandemic report released by the World Health Organization Wednesday, August 10. The U.N. health agency said there were more than 14,000 COVID-19 deaths in the last week and nearly 7 million new infections. The Western Pacific reported a 30% jump in cases while Africa reported a 46% drop. Cases also fell by more than 20% in the Americas and the Middle East. The number of new deaths rose by 19% in the Middle East, while dropping by more than 70% in Africa, 15% in Europe and 10% in the Americas. The WHO said that the omicron subvariant BA.5 remains dom inant globally, accounting for nearly 70% of all virus sequences shared with the world’s biggest publicly available virus data base. The agency said other omicron subvariants, including BA.4 and BA.2, appear to be decreasing in prevalence as BA.5 takes over. The WHO cautioned that its assessment of COVID-19 trends remains compromised by countries dropping many of their testing, surveillance and sequencing efforts as most countries have relaxed pandemic controls.

More than 30 research teams across the country will be supported by over $448 million in funding from the NIH. The teams will study and share data in real time, providing the scale necessary to develop infor mation and answers as quickly as Thepossible.primary pediatric cohort study at UC San Diego/Rady is called PEDS-PASS (Pediatric Epidemiology and Disparities Study of PostAcute SARS-CoV-2).

Up to 30 percent of patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 may experience persistent symptoms; four-year study seeks to learn why and how to prevent lingering effects

More than 90 million cases of COVID-19 have been reported in the United States since the pandemic began in early 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The incidence of longCOVID is not precisely known, but current data suggests 10 to 30 percent of those who have an acute infection will experience persis tent symptoms lasting at least one month. Preliminary data suggests PASC may disproportionately affect certain socioeconomic and demo graphic groups, including groups that will be represented within the UC San Diego/Rady study. “We are excited to be a part of this national effort to learn more about long-COVID and the factors that put someone at risk for developing this condition,” said Kelan Tantisira, MD, professor and chief of the Division of Respiratory Medicine at Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego.

Whereas, the global outbreak of mon keypox is rapidly changing day-today; and Whereas, as of July 29, 2022, glob ally, there have been over 21,148 cases associated with monkeypox and nationwide, there have been 4,907 confirmed or probable cases in the U.S., including 799 confirmed or probable cases in California across 27 local public health jurisdictions; and

Whereas, as of July 29, 2022, there are 27 confirmed and 19 probable cases of monkeypox in San Diego County; and Whereas, on August 1, 2022, Governor Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency in California to respond to monkeypox; and Whereas, there is a limited supply of the JYNNEOS® vaccine, which is approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for the prevention of smallpox and monkeypox disease; and Whereas, due to the limited supply of vaccine, the large population and geographic location of San Diego County, combined with the world wide spread of monkeypox and con firmed or probable local cases, there is an imminent threat from the intro duction of monkeypox in San Diego County community at-large.

Now, therefore, pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 101080, the San Diego County Health Officer declares: 1) The introduction of monkeypox in San Diego County is a threat to the public’s health, within the mean ing of Health and Safety Code sec tion 101080.

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego have joined a nationwide study to better under stand the long-term impact of COVID-19 on patients in the United States across all demographic Thegroups.$1.15 billion, four-year study, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is called the RECOVER Initiative (Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery). The purpose is to better understand “post-acute sequelae of the SARSCoV-2” infections or PASC, more commonly known as ‘long-COVID’.”

2) A local health emergency is declared in San Diego County.

Whereas, in May 2022, clusters of monkeypox cases were identified in multiple countries with the first case of monkeypox in the United States (U.S.) confirmed in Massachusetts on May 20, 2022; and Whereas, on May 27, 2022, the first case of monkeypox was confirmed in California; and Whereas, on June 15, 2022, the first case of monkeypox was reported in San Diego County; and

Long-COVID refers to symptoms that persist for weeks or months after acute COVID-19 infection. Symptoms include pain, headaches, fatigue, “brain fog,” shortness of breath, anxiety, depression, fever, chronic cough, and sleep problems. In some affected children and adults, PASC includes multisystem inflam matory syndrome (MIS-C and MISA), a condition where different body parts can become inflamed, includ ing the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes or gastrointestinal organs. Any of these symptoms can have a profound impact on quality of life.

Whereas, monkeypox is an unusual disease caused by infection with the monkeypox virus. It is spread though prolonged skin-to-skin contact and symptoms of monkeypox include rash, fever, muscle aches, and respira tory symptoms. Although most cases of monkeypox resolve within a few weeks, monkeypox can cause serious symptoms, including severe pain, hospitalization and, in rare cases, death; and

A host of family and friends of the deserving induct ees showed up to the Lafayette Hotel in upper North Park to represent and cheer for their favor ite Cardinal legends. “Jay Dee is a special person,” said his High School Coach Ollie Coulson. “He is the type of person that has the unique ability to make people around him better. Of course, he is a talented athlete but he is also intelligent and willing to mentor people. I feel lucky to have been a part of his life ” Congratulations to all of the 2022 Cardinal inductees!

Ty Waller (baseball-75), a bonafide Hoover legend, made it to the big leagues as both a player and coach. Eddie Williams’ (baseball-83) prep baseball experience was so revered that he was the 4th player selected in the first round of the 1983 draft. Anai Novoa (wrestling-07) defeated mostly boys on her way to league championships and Hoovers Hall of fame. Andre Hardy (football-79) played four years in the NFL. “I really appreciate this induction. It was really cool see ing some of my old friends. It brings back a lot of good memories. This was definitely a positive experience for me,” he shared. Jay Dee Luster (Basketball-07) one of the greatest Hooryders to ever lace up a pair high-tops for the Red Birds is currently an assistant Coach for SDSU. “Tonight wasn’t just about me. This was a great oppor tunity for me to acknowledge the people in public who supported me and helped me through my journey and still do: my mother, grandpa, sister, coaches, and my wife.”

Chance is a beacon of hope and opportunity for individuals across the region who are rebuilding their lives after the impact of incarceration,” said San Diego City Council President pro Tem and District 4 Representative Monica Montgomery Steppe who attended the event. A representative from Assemblymember Dr. Akilah Weber’s office also attended to show support for Second Chance’s Art Day. “For almost 30 years, Second Chance has helped formerly incarcerated San Diegans with its job training, drug counseling, and mental health programs. These efforts illustrate the organization’s significant focus on anti-recid ivism,” Assembly-member Dr. Akilah Weber said in a statement. Second Chance teamed up with local start-up The Impact Collective, which specializes in helping nonprofits raise money through NFT art. Alumni were able to participate in other art projects such as acrylic paint pours, photogra phy, and digital art. According to Wikipeida, an NFT is described as “a non-fungible token is a financial security consisting of digital data stored in a blockchain, a form of distributed ledger. The ownership of an NFT is recorded in the blockchain, and can be transferred by the owner, allowing NFTs to be sold and traded.”

Neil Senturia, CEO of The Impact Collective said, “The alumni of Second Chance today cre ated art that reflects their vulnerability, bravery, and creativity and will be great additions to the vibrant NFT community.” Tony Concep, an artist who frequently turns his work into NFTs, will be teaching and assist ing alumni of Second Chance programs in a mixed media technique, which will include drawing, collage, and stencil. “As an artist who understands the power and potential of NFTs, I believe that the partner ship between Second Chance and The Impact Collective serves as a template for how NFTs can be an innovative tool to support the vital work of nonprofits,” Tony Concep said. “By expanding access to NFTs, we are uplifting individuals to unlock their creative potential and participate in a highly profitable and new frontier of art.”

San Diego County serves half a million students across 42 districts. Almost 70% of students across the county identify as a person of color, while only 25% of teachers are of color. Nearly half of the 506,000 students in San Diego County identify as Latinx, but fewer than 20% of the educators do. The high number of students who identify as a person of color in com parison with the low number of teachers of color can affect the educational outcomes of children and representation bureaucracy within schools. Due to this reality, San Diego Foundation is investing in com munity-based organizations to work with teachers of color and local edu cation agencies to develop practices to increase teacher diversity.

Teach For America San Diego will recruit teachers who are from San Diego or are looking to move to the region, where they can help affect the change that is needed in our school systems. Funding will support: • Hiring a Director of Alumni Recruitment who will lead the national recruitment of BIPOC teachers to San Diego, oversee hiring and placement events, help facil itate credentialing processes, act as a main point of contact for transitioning teachers and cre ate a cohort experience to retain BIPOC educators once they begin working in the county.

• Partnerships with three to five priority school districts to analyze districtwide educational achieve ment data and metric setting to measure the success of BIPOC educators.

Often, inactivity is more to blame than age when older people lose the ability to do things on their own. Exercise and physical activity are not only great for your mental and physical health, but can help keep you independent as you age. Tai Chi and similar movement practices have been shown to improve balance and stability in older adults and prevent future falls.

However, these feelings are not a normal part of aging as growing older can have many emotional benefits, such as long-lasting relationships with friends and family and a lifetime of memories to share with loved ones. It’s important to remember that older adults with depression may have less obvious symptoms or be less likely to discuss their feelings. Depression is a common and potentially serious mood disorder, but there are treatments that are effective for most people.

Using pre-owned supplies and clothes is both eco-friendly and usually cheaper than buying new. The secondhand route is best for reusable items, such as clothes, backpacks and lunch boxes, says Kari Lorz, a Salem, Oregonbased certified financial educa tion instructor and founder of Money for the Mamas, a website devoted to helping mothers learn about money. As for where to find used stuff, Lorz recommends the Buy Nothing Project. According to its website, this movement includes thousands of local communities hosted on Facebook and the BuyNothing app. In these groups, members request and give away stuff for free. You may also find free or dis counted items in other local, online spaces, such as Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor and Craigslist.

Natural changes can occur with age that may affect a person’s ability to drive, like having slower response speed, diminished vision or hearing, and reduced mobility.

These questions may help you determine if you or a loved one needs to limit or stop driving. Talk with your doctor if you have any concerns about your driving.

San Diego Foundation has announced it awarded $150,000 to Teach For America San Diego (TFA), in support of Alumni Innovation, a pilot initiative to recruit and place 30 teachers of color throughout three to five school districts in San Diego County to boost the academic performance, sense of belonging and college aspirations for students of Acolor.representation gap in who teaches and leads children can per petuate systemic barriers to access and opportunity that disproportionately impact students of color. Teachers of color can positively guide students who identify with their teachers racially and culturally to pursue professional careers and diver sify the workforce. According to research by Johns Hopkins University, Black students who had just one Black teacher by third grade were 13% more likely to enroll in college – and those who’d had two were 32% more likely. “Children thrive when they see teachers that share the same race, expe riences and cultural values as them,” said Michelle Jaramillo, Director of Education Initiatives at San Diego Foundation. “We need long-term funding to recruit teachers of color who represent our youth and pro vide guidance throughout students’ educational journeys.”

And this year, families will have to shell out even more than usual because of Thankfully,inflation.youcan still save money on supplies and other gear by leaning on local parents, neighbors and community members. Here’s how.

BUY IN BULK, THEN SPLIT THE COSTS You know who else is buying the same supplies you need? The parents of your kid’s classmates. So join forces. Buy certain sup plies in bulk if the cost per unit is less than that of a smaller pack. Then split those supplies among other caregivers, so each person pays less than if they had gone Buyingsolo.in bulk is a smart strat egy for more general items typ ically found on classroom lists. These could include facial tis sues, disinfecting wipes, plastic storage bags, paper towels and sanitizers, says Charles Field, CEO of TeacherLists, a digital platform that enables teachers to upload supply lists, which parents can access. Say your kid is supposed to bring hand sanitizer. One 12-ounce bottle could cost $16. But buy a four-pack for $36, and four people could each spend $9 per Alsobottle.try this method for hard er-to-get and more expensive items, says Maggie Klokkenga, a Morton, Illinois-based cer ti fied financial planner and owner of Make a Money Mindshift, through which she coaches clients on their cash flow. Say that fine-tipped dry-erase markers are tough to find. Rather than multiple parents searching empty shelves and paying a premium — collaborate.

2. Older adults can’t learn new things. Older adults still have the ability to learn new things, create new mem ories, and improve their performance in a variety of skills. While aging does come with changes in thinking, many cognitive changes are positive, such as having more knowledge from a lifetime of expe riences. Trying and learning new skills may even improve cognitive abilities. For example, one study found that older adults who learned quilting or digital photography had improved memory. Seeking out new social connections with others and engaging in social activities, such as a book club, can keep your brain active and may boost your cognitive health.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin earlier this spring authorized the return of about 400 U.S. troops to the embattled country. On Tuesday, Austin noted that decision, saying that the persistent U.S. military presence to train and assist Somali forces is crucial as al-Shabab’s attacks on civilians grow more lethal and brazen. He added that the African conti nent is “on the front lines of many of this century’s most pressing threats—from mass migration to food insecurity, from COVID-19 to the climate crisis, from the drum beat of autocracy to the dangers of terrorism.” And he said China is expanding its military footprint there, looking to build bases in Africa and seeking to “undermine U.S. rela tions with African peoples, govern ments and militaries.”

The sub-region was also affected by three exceptionally wet seasons, bringing widespread floods, displacement, and a locust outbreak that was the worst in 25 years in Ethiopia and Somalia, and in 75 years in Kenya. This exceptional series of consecutive drought and flood shocks has had a devastating impact on agri culture, rangelands, and water resources, leading to a sharp decrease in food availability and food access due to food production shortages, increases in staple food and water prices, and erosion of livelihoods, which in turn are driving an upsurge in food insecurity and “Themalnutrition.wheatgrain will go to the World Food Program’s operations in Ethiopia,” U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told the Voice of It’sAmerica.thefirst food delivery to Africa under a plan brokered by the UN and Turkey in late July to unblock grain trapped by Russia’s war on Ukraine and bring relief to millions world Afterwide. being loaded with wheat, the ship MV Brave Commander will travel to Djibouti, where the grain will be unloaded and sent to Ethiopia, according to the United Nations.

Americans aren’t alone in turning purple over the skyrocketing costs for housing, food, medical care and fuel for the car. Last month in Sierra Leone, women street vendors gathered peacefully to protest the soaring cost of living. This week, the number swelled to the hundreds as many more pro tests turned out, clashing with police and demanding the president’s resignation over the government’s perceived failure to address the ris ing prices. At least 27 people died in the antigovernment protests, police and other sources were reported to say, sharply raising the death toll from the previous day’s clashes.

at the ceremony, the out going commander, Army Gen.

So we have to think,” said Townsend, who is retiring after 40 years in the military. “America cannot afford to ignore Africa. The continent is full of potential but it’s also full of challenges and it’s standing at a historic crossroads.”

According to an article by National Today, “when you choose to sup port black-owned businesses, you’re supporting black pride, unity, and self-deter mination. While that may be intimidating to some, it would mean the world to many families and commu nities. Black entrepreneur ship is a tool for survival in a world that does not want to see you win.”

Did you know that August is Black Business Month? It is a celebratory event, with the intent that Black businesses will be highlighted and supported. The Month was first created in August of 2004 by engineer Frederick E. Jordan Sr. and historian John William Templeton in order to “drive the policy agenda affecting the 2.6 million African-American businesses,” according to their mission Thestatement.U.S.Census Bureau says that about 10 percent of Black business owners account for all U.S. businesses, and they make up about 30 percent of all minority-owned busines“Blackses. Business Month is exciting because it gives us an opportunity to focus on a community that is far too often underrepresented when it comes to access to capital and opportunities to build wealth,” said Denise Moore, CEO of the Black Business Alliance in Peoria, Illinois, in a National Today article. Black businesses encompass a large variety of services but according to the U.S. Census, nearly 40 percent of those businesses are in repair and maintenance, health care, social assistance, barbershops, beauty salons, and advertis ing Blackfirms.businesses in the United States can be traced back to the 1700s, when both free and enslaved people opened small shops dedicated to various things, such as barbershops, tobacco stores, and shoe stores. As emancipation spread through the south, these businesses grew and led to a ‘golden age’ of Black owned business between 1900 to 1930, producing districts such as Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

and testing for the mon keypox virus is a relatively simple add-on to the current wastewater surveillance program for SARSCoV-2, said Rob Knight, PhD, pro fessor and director of the Center for Microbiome Innovation at University of California San Diego. But with a twist. “It’s the same process as SARSCoV-2 qPCR monitoring, except that we have been testing for a dif ferent virus. Monkeypox is a DNA virus, so it is a bit of a surprise that our process optimized for SARSCoV-2, which is an RNA virus, works so well,” he said. Researchers began experimenting with the possibility their test might work with both virus types in May and began monitoring wastewa ter from the Point Loma treatment plant, which serves 2.2 million San Diegans, for the presence of monk eypox virus in early June. The first positive indicator occurred July 10, 2022 at levels near the limit of detection: 10,565.54 viral copies per liter of wastewater. Levels have dramatically increased since then, rising and falling slightly, but trend ing upward with a current high of 189,309.81 viral copies per liter of wastewater on August 2, 2022. Knight said it remains to be seen whether monitoring monkeypox virus load levels in wastewater can predict future infection or case rates. “We don’t yet know if the data will anticipate case surges like with COVID,” he said. “It depends on when the virus is shed from the body relative to how bad the symp toms are that cause people to seek care. This is, in principle, different for each virus, although in practice wastewater seems to be predictive for multiple viruses.” And the system is not yet set up to sequence monkeypox genomes, a necessity to detect emerging vari ants. But, in general, said Knight: “DNA viruses evolve a lot slower than RNA viruses, so we would not expect variants to emerge and spread as quickly.”

In response to the report, the EDD released a statement where they acknowledged changes needed to be “EDDmade.appreciates and will carefully review the LAO’s ideas for further simplifying processes and speed ing up the delivery of services to Californians. Many of these ideas, such as limiting improper claim denials and minimizing delays, have been incorporated into EDD actions over the past year. As part of California’s commitment to improving EDD’s customer service, the recently-enacted state budget includes $136 million for EDD next, a major effort to modernize EDD and further improve the cus tomer experience … We agree with the LAO that “EDD must balance the need to prevent fraud … with the priority to deliver payments in a timely and easy manner.” While Alamo concedes that some of the reported changes the EDD plans to make will help, he also believes that a large number of the recommendations made in the report go beyond the steps the department has proposed to take. “The pressure really is on now to begin those efforts so that some of these improvements are in place the next time millions of workers turn to EDD for UI benefits dur ing the next downturn. And if his torical precedent tells us anything that’s going to be within 10 years. The clock starts ticking and there really is not a lot of time that the state or the legislature can wait before undertaking some of these improvements,” Alamo said.

Christopher Longhurst, MD, chief medical officer at UC San Diego Health, said monkeypox monitoring was an important innovation in what he called “anticipatory surveillance.”

American Rescue Plan which included $4 billion to help Black and other “socially disadvantaged” farmers will be replaced with a plan that makes relief funds available to all United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) farmers suffering hard “I’mships.very, very disappointed in this legislative action,” John Wesley Boyd, Jr., NBFA’s founder and pres ident, said in an Aug. 9 statement. “I’m prepared to fight for debt relief for Black, Native American, and other farmers of color all the way to the Supreme Court. I’m not going to stop fighting this.” The NBFA is a non-profit orga nization representing African American farmers and their fam ilies. It serves tens of thousands of members nationwide. NBFA’s education and advocacy efforts are focused on civil rights, land retention, access to public and pri vate loans, education and agricul tural training, and rural economic development for Black and other small farmers.

The increased volume of unem ployment claims (both valid and fraudulent) and challenges out of work people faced caused by the pandemic highlighted the need to rebalance the program. Lengthy review processes and holds on valid claims caused hardship for workers and their families, hin dered the state’s economic recov ery, and spurred frustration among unemployed Californians with their Duringgovernment.theCOVID-19 pandemic, EDD delayed payments to nearly 5 million workers and improperly denied payments to an estimated 1 million people. Chas Alamo, LAO’s Principal Fiscal & Policy Analyst, the report’s author links the UI program’s issues to its basic design which hasn’t changed much since the UI1930’s.benefits are funded by employ ers. Over time, this has created a relationship with the EDD that employees don’t have. While an employee may apply for benefits once or twice during their entire career, employers have become the EDD’s primary customer because they’re interacting with them on a consistent basis. “There’s no ongoing relationship between workers and EDD in the same way that there is with busi ness and EDD,” said Alamo. “We think this partnership or orien tation towards the business com munity has sort of encouraged the state and the department to pri oritize policies that would tend to favor minimizing business costs and eliminating fraud rather than prioritizing getting benefits to Theworkers.”LAO’s report features 12 tar geted changes for the EDD to make to improve their operations and relationships with employees seek ing benefits. The changes acknowl edged unemployment workers experience in 3 key areas: Improper Claim Denials Were Numerous More than half of the UI claims the EDD denies are overturned on appeal. Overturned denials cause lengthy delays for workers who appeal and raise concern that the state denies many eligible workers. Likely between $500 million and $1 billion in UI payments annually go unpaid each year due to improper denials. Claim Delays Need to be Reduced More than half of UI claims were delayed during the peak of the pan demic, for many workers by several months. Between 15% and 20% of workers who apply for UI during normal economic times experience delays. The UI Application Needs to be Simplified The state’s UI application and ongoing requirements are difficult to understand and unnecessarily lengthy. Answers to many of the questions asked of employees are already on file in the EDD. Many of IU’s problem areas were magnified during the pandemic. An estimated $20 billion has been lost to fraudulent California claims, according to EDD esti mates. All but $1.3 billion of that

The American Rescue Plan debt relief program was expected to pay off USDA loans held by 15,000 Black, Native American, Alaskan Native, Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Hispanic and Latino farmers, Kara Brewer-Boyd, NBFA’s Program and Event Coordinator, told California Black Media in a telephone interview on Aug. 12. “Socially disadvantaged Black, Native Americans, and people of color were automatically approved for 120% debt relief. They were to be paid in full,” said Kara BrewerBoyd. “Now they won’t get that money at all. It’s horrible. Those farmers were already identified and sent letters that their debt had been paid. These farmers are in a bad situation. Congress put them in a worse situation by telling them ‘You’re gonna get it.’ Now they are telling them ‘You’re not going to get Objectionsit.’”

total involved claims from fed erally-funded COVID relief pro grams, which ended last year. The response to this has made it even more difficult for valid claims to be “Duringprocessed.the pandemic the state was under incredible pressure to cut down on fraud so the department ramped up some of its already high levels of fraud detection efforts. They took several steps that mea surably and meaningfully reduced fraud in the federal program. And they should be commended for those steps. But they also took steps that really slowed down the process for otherwise eligible workers and led to these delays.”

According to Terri Bradford, who researched Black crypto ownership for the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, cryp tocurrency has gained popularity among African American consum ers due to historical context and forward-looking views of young “Surveyscustomers.show that Black con sumers are more likely than white consumers to own crypto currencies,” said Bradford, who penned the research article “The Cryptic Nature of Black Consumer Cryptocurrency Ownership.” Bradford noted a 2021 Pew Research Center survey which found that 18 percent of Black adults had invested in, traded, or used a cryptocurrency compared to 13 percent of white adults. “This difference between Black and white consumers’ cryptocurrency ownership contrasts sharply with other traditional assets,” Bradford Accordingasserted. to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s 2019 Survey of Consumer Finances, 61 percent of white households owned equity invest ments compared with 34 percent of Black households – nearly a twoto-one “Unlikemargin.white consumers, Black consumers are, in fact, more likely to own cryptocurrencies than assets such as stocks and mutual funds,” Bradford wrote. “Leveraging the same technology is blockchain,” Bradford explained. “Crypto is a digital currency offered on Blockchain while NFTs and others are different ways to leverage that currency.” She continued: “Younger ones are leveraging crypto as we see in research that 50 percent of Black consumers of crypto are millen nials and younger, and when you think about the fact that this con stituent is digital-native where they spend a lot of time, then we see why it’s having a great influence on the adoption of cryptocurrency.”

“Rising levels of monkeypox in wastewater clearly correlate with the increasing spread of this virus. Detection and monitoring will help alert us to situations before they become crises, providing time for health systems and public agencies to respond, prepare and act.”

Evidence and experience - Persons infected by SARS-CoV-2 shed the virus in their waste, even before they exhibit symptoms of COVID19. That fact spurred development of the first wastewater screen ing program in late-2020, when researchers at UC San Diego and UC San Diego Health began an ambitious collaboration to collect wastewater samples across campus using auto-sampling robots for subsequent analysis. The program was designed to help safely return students to campus. Wastewater monitoring and sequencing was eventually expanded to the region. Central to these efforts has been SEARCH (San Diego Epidemiology and Research for COVID Health), a consortium of scien tists from UC San Diego, Scripps Research and Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego, working with San Diego County public health officials and others.

The 6th annual Back-toSchool and Haircut Drive took place last Saturday, August 13, in collaboration with and at the California Barber and Beauty College on El Cajon Boulevard.

Retired Photojournalist, board member and best friend of Larry’s, Bruce revealed more of Larry’s love for the San Diego Community. “Larry would cover stories that had a per sonal interest to the everyday people of San Diego,” Bruce reminisced, “Giving away backpacks and haircuts today continues to keep Larry’s leg acy Owneralive.”of the Barber and Beauty college, Silvia was proud to say that they had over 100 participants come through this year and every year that number grows. Silvia mentioned that her college serves the commu nity in other ways, but this annual event adds to the con nection she has maintained with the youth in the sur rounding neighborhood. By her smile and energy and the smile on the faces of the par ticipants, one could tell that good deeds were being done. The average cost of back-toschool supplies, clothes, and haircuts could be as steep as $300 to $600 per student. Backpack drives, such as this one, will definitely lighten the load for many families in the surrounding neighbor hood.

Thanks to The Old Globe, we can no longer say nothing good came out of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. In 2020, while most were moldering in the lockdown, The Old Globe took major steps to shift into true inclusivity with their “What Is Theatre Now?” initiative. New (as of 2021) Globe Resident art ists Delicia Turner Sonnenberg, James Vasquez, and Patricia McGregor were all part of the initiative, and have not disappointed. Part of a continuing cre scendo of award-worthy, diversely-cast shows, W. Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at The Old Globe reimag ines The Dream with a contemporary Featuringbeat. a DJ and contemporary, American-English asides, the brightlycolored spectacle makes Shakespeare accessible for anyone. Purposely designed with both traditional fea tures and an Afrofuturism aesthetic, the comic book-esque opening fight sequence both provides background and sets the tone for one of Shakespeare’s most mad-cap adventures. This is Director Patricia McGregor’s second time directing The Dream in San Diego (she directed the 2018 Globe for All tour). She cited San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel movies, Alexander McQueen, Burning Man, and Afro-punk as inspi rations that went into the set, cos tuming, and staging of this expanded Acknowledgedproduction. as one of Shakespeare’s dream-logic ambience, but enhances it with David Israel Reynoso and Stephen Strawbridge’s background fea tures, lighting, and costumes. In the best Shakespearean tradition, the main stage remains largely bare throughout the Thisshow.iscertainly not the first time The Old Globe has presented The Dream. In 1937, two years after opening, The Old Globe presented a version of The Dream, and has produced it periodically since. This is at least the 11th incarnation of the show, but it manages to feel new even for fans of the play. Focusing on the interpersonal relationships between characters rather than the fantastical nature of the circumstances, the audi ence is able to enter into the world of the play without being turned away by the old-fashioned language style. While the main cast is magnificent, a special homage must be paid to the actors of the play within this play.

A study that examines diversity of the medical student population shows Black medical students com prise only 7.3% of the total in this country. That figure has risen less than 1% over the past 40 years and is far lower than the 13.4% Black popu lation in the United States. The NFL has nearly 70% Black players. The clinical rotations will begin as the 2022 season gets going in September.

We can get more informa tion in the same turnaround time.”

1920 19TH AMENDMENT RATIFIED A landmark decision for the nation, the 19th Amendment highlighted racial inequality in the U.S. in a new way. While the Federal government and some states agreed that the 19th Amendment should override Jim Crow laws, most Black women in the South remained unable to vote until the 1950s and While‘60s.Black women played a huge part in the movement for universal sufferage in the United States, as the reality drew closer, racism came to the forefront. The National Park Service notes, “before the Civil War Black and white aboli tionists and suffragists joined together in common cause”. By the late 1800s, however, the National American Woman Suffrage Association had banned Black women gather ings, sufferage parades became segregated, and Stanton and Anthony attempted to write Black women out of the sufferage movement.

1969 WOODSTOCK ENDS Intended to be a showcase of integration and racial peace, the music festival was, per journalist Mike Kelly, “mayon naise — on white bread”. The purposefully integrated musical acts included Richie Havens, Sweetwater, Sly & The Family Stone, Sha Na Na, & headliner Jimi Hendrix. Unfortunately, the advertising attracted a crowd more interested in drugs and sex than music. The non-family-friendly tone of the festival was exacer bated by the fact that Woodstock started the day after the long-standing Harlem Cultural Festival. Few were willing to travel an additional two hours to an isolated location when Nina Simone, B.B. King, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Stevie Wonder, and Mahalia Jackson had just played in Harlem. Sly and the Family Stone also played in Harlem before heading to Overall,Woodstock.Woodstock became another highlight of racial seg regation in the country, despite the unifying force of music.

About monkeypox - Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection with the monkeypox virus, part of the same family of viruses that cause smallpox. Monkeypox symp toms, which include painful or itchy rashes, fever, low energy and swollen lymph nodes, are similar to small pox symptoms, but milder and mon keypox is rarely fatal.

It can also spread by respira tory secretions during prolonged, close, face-to-face contact. It is not spread through brief conversations or walking by someone with mon keypox.
