Ret. Army Gen. Lloyd Austin - Secretary of Defense President-elect Joe Biden has nominated retired Army Gen. Lloyd Austin, the former U.S. Central Command commander, as secretary of defense. If confirmed by the Senate, Gen. Austin would be the first Black man to lead the Department of Defense. The selection also would make Gen. Austin one of the most prominent members of the incoming Biden-Kamala Harris Cabinet. The secretary of defense controls the country’s largest government agency, commanding

A difficult year for unemployed Californians is closing out with one more thing for them to worry about. The California Employment Development Department (EDD) has asked at least 920,000 Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) recipients to verify their income. Now, some of those Californians who lost their jobs because of the pandemic are concerned that an unclear question the EDD used to determine their income may be coming back to haunt them. Whether it was intentional or an honest mistake, if they received too much money in emergency unemployment payments from the department based on the amount of income they reported, they may now have to pay it back.

EDD began sending out notices on Nov. 21, and the agency has added a page to their website clarifying which documents can be used to verify income. The notice requires workers who received more than the PUA minimum benefit of $167 per week to verify their 2019 income using a copy of a 2019 federal or state tax return document. If they don’t have one, they can send business records, contracts, billing statements or similar records. If the EDD determines that a person’s net income was less than the amount they reported on the initial PUA application, the person’s benefit will be reduced to ref lect their net income, and EDD will seek repayment of the difference between their “current weekly benefit and the decreased benefit amount, for each week you were paid,” according to the notice.

RASHIDA JONES

TO TAKE MSNBC HELM FEB. 1 Jones is first African American to Lead a Cable News Network By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Senior National Correspondent

In a year plagued by a pandemic that has disproportionately affected African Americans, and one rife with racial strife, MSNBC has named Rashida Jones the first Black person and Black woman president of the network. Jones, who easily becomes the most prominent woman in cable news, is scheduled to step into the top role on Feb. 1, Black History Month, replacing Phil Griffin, who had been at the cable news channel for more than 25 years. “Rashida knows and understands MSNBC, in part because it’s where she started when she first joined NBCU seven years ago,” the company reportedly wrote in an email to NBC News employees. “She knows that it is the people who work here that make it great, and she understands its culture. She also ap-

A graduate of Hampton University, where she earned induction into the Scripps Howard Journalism Hall of Fame, Jones previously served as news director for an NBC affiliate in Columbia, South Carolina, where she rebuilt and rebranded the news team to focus on indepth investigative reporting. According to Jones’ biography, the station was number one in the market.

that Jones has helped guide MSNBC’s coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic, the unrest and social justice protests that broke out over Black Americans’ treatment, and the 2020 election. She also helped with two influential series at the network, “Justice for All” and “Climate in Crisis.” Her promotion is seen as part of a mandate by NBC News to ultimately roll out a staff comprised of 50 percent of women and 50 percent of color. According to a news release, Jones was part of the team that helped NBC News White House correspondent Kristen Welker prepare for her role as moderator in the final presidential debate of 2020. Jones did not release a statement, but many of her journalism peers saluted her on social media.

EDD: continued from page 1

There are now instructions regarding paying back overpayment on the EDD’s website, and repayment plans are available. According to the EDD, PUA claimants will not be required to pay back the $600 federal supplemental compensation or $300 lost wage assistance payments. However, even just paying back the state overpayment would mean a bill of thousands of dollars for some Californians. “If individuals reported gross wages instead of net income, which is an understandable mistake, it could lead to an overpayment. Under the CARES Act, a PUA overpayment currently cannot be waived,” According to a statement from the EDD.

Jones also served as director of live programming at The Weather Channel, leading coverage and programming for some of the network’s most historic weather events, including Hurricane Katrina.

Ret. Army Gen. Lloyd Austin - Secretary of Defense, cont. troops worldwide and the Pentagon’s internal workings. It also keeps with Biden’s promise to have a staff and cabinet that reflects America’s diversity.

She serves as co-chair of Hampton University’s Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications Advisory Board.

The decorated 67-year-old has accumulated many awards and decorations, including five Defense Distinguished Service Medals, the country’s highest noncombat-related military honor, and three Distinguished Service Medals; the Silver Star, the nation’s third-highest award for valor in combat; and two Legions of Merit.

“Her promotion is bigger than our industry,” wrote NABJ President Dorothy Tucker. “It’s the kind of story Black and Brown children everywhere need to see, so they can know what’s possible.”

According to his biography, Gen. Austin began his career in the U.S. Army in 1975 as second lieutenant in the infantry and rose through the ranks to command troops in combat at the 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-star levels.

Even if the California EDD, wanted to forgive the overpayments, they would not be able to. Only the federal government can make that decision because the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which established PUA, does not allow states to waive repayment. There is currently a bipartisan bill moving through the U.S. House of Representatives that is proposing repayment waivers if the worker was not at fault for overpayment and if repayment would mean severe economic hardship for that individual. Across California last month, the state unemployment rate stood at 8.2 % compared to 3.0 % at this same time last year. During the first two months of the pandemic, an estimated 2.6 million Californians lost their jobs.

Gen. Austin served in numerous command and staff positions in the U.S. and around the world. These include Operation Safe Haven in Panama with the 82nd Airborne Division; Operation Iraqi Freedom, spearheading the 2003 invasion of Iraq as the assistant division commander for the 3rd Infantry Division; and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan as the commander of the 10th Mountain Division (Light).

In 2008 Gen. Austin returned to Iraq as the commanding general of the Multi-National Corps-Iraq. In 2009 Gen. Austin was named director of the Joint Staff at the Pentagon. In 2012 General Austin served as the 33rd vice chief of staff of the Army, culminating his military career as the 12th commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) from 2013 to 2016. Gen. Austin also worked with the President-Elect as vice chief of staff of the Army when Biden served as Vice President under Barack Obama. His nomination would require a congressional waiver for confirmation to the civilian post because he retired from active-duty service only four years ago. Federal law requires seven years of retirement from active duty before taking on the role. Retired Marine Gen. James Mattis received a waiver from Congress in 2017 to serve as President Donald Trump’s defense secretary. “Very good news for national security,” Retired Four-Star Gen. Barry McCaffrey stated. “Ret Gen. Lloyd Austin is a towering figure in Armed Forces. Enormous global experience. Joint Staff and Army staff Pentagon. Very easy to deal with. Loved by the military. Silver Star Valor. West Point. M.A. Auburn. MBA.”

Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge - HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge, the Democratic Representative from Ohio and former Congressional Black Caucus Chair, will serve as the Department of Housing and Urban Development secretary under the incoming Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration. If confirmed, Fudge, 68, would count as only the second Black woman to lead HUD. Patricia Harris served in that role under President Jimmy Carter. “We are relieved knowing that the same determination Rep. Fudge brought to defending hungry families from cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will be brought to tackle one of the biggest looming threats facing Americans during this economic crisis: evictions and housing insecurity,” The CBC offered in a statement. Fudge, who currently serves on the House Committee on Agriculture, has a long history of championing civil and human rights. Her selection again shows that President-Elect Biden is keeping his campaign promise of a diverse cabinet and staff. “It will be the most diverse in American history,” Biden said earlier this year. Biden also picked Xavier Becerra, who is Hispanic, as Secretary of Health and Human Services,

and Alejandro Mayorkas, whose parents immigrated from Cuba to the U.S., for Secretary of Homeland Security. Linda Thomas-Greenfield, a Black woman, was tapped as Ambassador to the United Nations. “If I were to be named, certainly it’s an honor and a privilege to be asked to be in a President’s cabinet. It is something that probably in my wildest dreams I never would have thought about,” Fudge told CNN. “So, if I can help this President in any way possible, I’m more than happy.”

Fmr. Ambassador Susan Rice for Top White House Post Biden is appointing former U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice, a Black woman, to serve as Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council. “With years of experience working at senior levels in the executive branch, Ambassador Rice knows government inside and out and will carry through the President-elect’s vision of a newly empowered Domestic Policy Council and turbocharge the effort to build back better,’ the Biden transition team wrote in a news release. The team noted that Rice is among the nation’s most senior and experienced government leaders with the skills to harness the power of the federal government to serve the American people. As a former member of the Cabinet, they said she also understands the challenges and opportunities of running an agency and has extensive experience working with other key members of the Biden-Harris White House team, including the heads of NSC and NEC. The diverse and accomplished team will work around the clock to deliver immediate relief to the American people — including working families, veterans, farmers and producers, and everyone fighting for their place in the middle class, the transition team promised in the release.

As the nation emerges from the COVID-19 crisis and its aftermath, Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris expressed that the team will “bring the highest level of expertise and the bold vision necessary to help all Americans seize new opportunities and build back better.” “This is the right team for this moment in history, and I know that each of these leaders will hit the ground running on day one to take on the interconnected crises families are facing today.” Added Harris: “Over the past few weeks, President-elect Biden and I have announced members of our administration who will help contain this pandemic, responsibly open our economy, and keep our nation safe and secure.

Things to Remember and Think About Going Forward By Dr. John E. Warren Publisher There is much discussion about the year 2020 and the things we have experienced, from the Coronavirus to the death of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and the more than 95 other Black men and women who have died at the hands of police since George Floyd’s murder.

against evictions, layoffs and unemployment. This has also been a year in which we have had elections at the local, state and national level. Looking forward, we have a new Mayor and members of the City Council. And soon, our very own 79th Assembly Member will become the first African American woman to serve as Secretary of State of the State of California.

For many, the issues have been even more personal in terms of food each day, schooling for children, the fight

Looking forward, we have Dr. Akilah Weber, M.D. having announced that she will seek her mother’s 79th

Better Angels and How They Travel Ray Curry Secretary-Treasurer, UAW What is the distance a good deed can travel? What does a warm bowl of soup mean? What does a warm bed mean? A new bike or a kind gesture from a stranger? All these things are small in and of themselves, but the smallest gesture to someone in need can move all the markers.

Taking Solidarity on the Road This holiday season I want to reflect on a UAW that steps up when our brothers and sisters are suffering and in need. We saw it in the early ‘30s when people were going hungry as this nation suffered through the agony of the Great Depression. We saw it in the late ‘30s and ‘40s, when Solidarity was the only thing we had to rely on as we stood up to the mega powerful auto bosses and demanded — through blood, sweat and tears — that they respect our workers and sit at the table to negotiate the first contracts. We saw it in the ‘50s and ‘60s as our communities were torn apart by racial inequality and my UAW sisters and brothers stood strong, stood courageous with only the idea of what was right on their side. And we marched before the world. We saw it through the dynamic ‘70’s and well into the ‘80’s when the UAW led the way in following in our fallen leader, Walter Reuther’s footsteps, and soldiering on to build and solidify America’s middle class, while building prosperity and mobility and a better way of life for so many. When our courageous brothers and sisters stood together in 1990 alongside Nelson Mandela, who spent 27 years of his life in prison fighting to end apartheid in South Africa. Upon his release, he came almost immediately to Detroit to thank our union members in person for taking a real role in his human rights struggle for justice and telling those assembled at Local 600, “Sisters and brothers, friends and comrades, the man who is speaking is not a stranger here. The man who is speaking is a member of the UAW. I am your flesh and blood.” And our values held fast as we stood

by one another in a changing world with automation and globalization and anti-union politics challenging our gains, making them harder to come by, but not putting a dent in our determination, in our Solidarity or in our support for one another and for all of America’s workers. Brothers and Sisters, look at us in the early 2000s, moving forward together to save the auto industry by making enormous sacrifices for the greater good. And here we are again just last year, mounting the biggest auto strike of the last 50 years, with UAW men and women marching side by side across this nation — 49,000+ — in heat, rain, sleet, and snow to once again tell an auto boss, “NO! We will take no more concessions as you make billions on the backs of the products we build.” And, in all these instances, we were on the good road. In all these instances we made the world a little bit better place.

Going the distance So, here we are in 2020 and going through the teeth of a virus that has not begun to let go, that has taken so many from us, that affects the way we work, live and learn. It has been a year of terrible loss, of tremendous social upheaval and unimaginable grief. But here we are once again closing ranks, pushing on through it, helping one another. Our UAW family was, as always, among the first to step up when our nation was in need. Our sisters and brothers volunteered to go back into the plants to make the critical life-saving Personal Protective Equipment needed to fight this pandemic; we started food banks; community support projects; served on the front lines of this crisis in health care facilities and public safety; and got to work in our living rooms and kitchens making masks. And once again, we stood together and with the strength of our Solidarity, told the companies that the safety of our members comes first as we looked to get our nation back to work last spring. This holiday I want to recognize every hard-working woman and man in this country, especially our UAW family and fellow Labor Union families, and remind us all of how far we have come and what we have achieved. I am proud to say that we are all on this road together and I cannot imagine better traveling companions.

Assembly District seat upon Dr. Shirley Weber vacating the seat to become Secretary of State. This vacancy must not set off a frenzy of candidates in the Black community running against each other and allowing the seat to be lost to the African American community. While such seats in public office were never intended to be handed down like parts of a family dynasty, we have seen other people and groups do this for generations. Between now and the special election, there will be ample

opportunity to raise questions of the sitting La Mesa City Council Member seeking to replace her mother in the Assembly. What is important is that we take this transition of power as a business decision for the District and not a popularity contest move. As a community, we must make sure that those who step up to run just because there is a vacancy do not dilute the efforts of the rest of the community seeking to keep the quality of representation above pop-

ularity of persons. Finally, we have decisions to make on taking a vaccine which represents an alternative to a body bag, which comes with death from this virus. Those who don’t want to take the vaccine will not be forced to do so. But they must not, in the alternative, become spreaders of the virus that is killing others. Yes, there is much to look forward to in 2020. Let’s focus on what we can do to make things better for everyone.

Black Voters Should See Themselves

in Congressional Staff By Dr. LaShonda Brenson As the new Congress prepares to take office and members of the U.S. House and Senate make key staff hires, it’s time for careful scrutiny of the diversity reflected within the ranks of congressional staff. This is particularly true following an election in which Black voters were critical to its outcome. More than 70 civil rights groups, including African American Mayors Association, Black Futures Lab, Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF), and NA A C P Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF), have formally called on new members of Congress to increase the numbers of staff of color within the mid-level and senior ranks of congressional offices. Our advocacy is particularly important right now, in the period between Election Day and the formal start of the new Congress when most key staff are hired. While we saw marginal improvement in senior staff diversity after the election in 2018, the lack of diversity among senior congressional staff of both parties is longstanding. The data is sobering, if not surprising. People of color account for nearly 40 percent of the U.S. population. Yet, Joint Center research found that people of color account for just 11 percent of Washington, D.C.-based senior staff in Senate personal offices. These include positions like chief of staff, legislative director, and communications director – the most influential staff positions in Congress. Unfortunately, our 2018 report also found that the House was only narrowly more representative

with staffers of color comprising just 13.7 percent of senior roles. And this inequity remains true for Republicans who represent large numbers of Black voters and for Democratic members who often depend on Black voters as a critical component of their electorate. There’s not a single Black senior staff member in the personal offices of the Republican Senators who represent Mississippi and Louisiana, despite the fact that African Americans account for a third or more of the population in these states.

Similarly, though Black voters made up 37 percent of Democratic voters in Virginia in 2016, and 47 percent of Democratic voters in Maryland, there’s not a single Black person holding a senior staff position within the offices of the Democratic Senators who represent these states. Meanwhile, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) is leading by example among congressional Democrats, with Black staff representing just over 53 percent of CBC top staff – compared to just 2.1 percent of the senior staff of White Democratic members of the U.S. House. Only 35 percent of African Americans in the United States live in districts represented by CBC Members, but 78.5 percent of the Black top staff in the U.S. House are employed by CBC Members. This data is particularly troubling at a time when we desper-

ately need more, not fewer, Black staff who can advise Members of Congress in better understanding and responding robustly to structural inequality, racism, and anti-Blackness. Yet, there is an opportunity for change. There will soon be at least 60 new members of the U.S. House and there could be as many as nine new Senators. With each appointing a chief of staff, legislative director, and communications director, that amounts to 207 senior positions. Far more of them should be filled by talented African Americans. Continued progress will require that congressional leade rsh ip br i ng real resources to bear. More C ong ressiona l offices should formalize diversity and inclusion plans and measure progress. And all offices should focus on diversi f y i ng mid level positions like press secretary and legislative assistant to further bolster the pool of talent that can eventually step into top positions. Without question, some members can rightfully point to Black staff serving as state or district directors, or to improvements in the diversity of non-senior staff. But at a time when the pandemic and economic turmoil has fallen disproportionally on Black people, robust representation of Black Americans in senior roles matters now more than ever. Real progress is possible, but it will require that Members of Congress choose action over the status quo. And it demands that we hold them accountable for doing so. Dr. LaShonda Brenson is the Senior Fellow for Diversity and Inclusion at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies.

ARRANGEMENTS BY ANDERSON-RAGSDALE MORTUARY

ARRANGEMENTS BY PREFERRED CREMATION & BURIAL

Graveside Service was held on Wednesday, December 23, 2020 at Mt. Hope Cemetery. Final arrangements were entrusted to Anderson-Ragsdale Mortuary.

TINA LOUISE JONES was born on July 22, 1988. Some of her special interests and hobbies included spending time with family, cooking, cleaning, fishing, and helping out anybody that had a need. Some of her most favorite times were going to family gatherings at the park and beach to bar-bque, traveling the country, and fishing.

HERMAN EUGENE FOSTER JR. was born on June 24, 1966 to Betty J. and Herman Eugene Foster. In 1972 Herman moved to San Diego, CA with his family where he received Christ at an early age.

NASSIR ALPHONSO CONLEY-MARTIN was born November 10, 2019 to NyOaka Conley and Treyvon Martin. This bundle of joy was born at 23 weeks, 5 days, weighing just 1.6 pounds came out fighting and was given the name “Bubba” by the NICU staff at Kaiser Hospital. Nassir spent the first 4 months in NICU fighting for his life and surpassing many hurdles. His primary care nurse, Kim referred to Nassir as her “Lil Nugget”. Through his trials and tribulations with IVs, oxygen machines and treatments, feeding tubes, eye exams, hearing exams and heart exams etc., Bubba made it through each trial and tribulation. On Friday, February 28, 2020 Bubba was able to come home. Bubba had beautiful big eyes. He was so cute and adorable. His love filled the house with joy and happiness. He loved being kissed on his neck and the rubbing of his face by his mommy. MyNami was very protective of her little brother. Nassir was very nosey and curious of his surroundings. He loved tummy time with his big sister MyNami, she made it fun for him. He loved to try and keep up with his sister, scooting around the floor showing off those fine motor skills. He loved to look over his head on his back. He loved to be in control of himself. He had the mindset of a 1-year-old for sure. He would get mad because he wanted to do a certain thing but just could not because of his size. Nassir loved his walker. Such a beautiful soul. Bubba the feisty Scorpio! We thank GOD for giving us a year with Nassir “Bubba, allowing us to have these wonderful memories to cherish for the rest of our lives. He was preceded in death by his great uncle Anthony Weaver. Nassir leaves to cherish his memory: parents, NyOaka Monique Conley and Treyvon Alphonso Martin; sister, MyNami M. Conley-Martin, brother, Josiah J. Taylor; maternal great-grandmother, Annie L. Weaver; Paternal great grandparents: Izetta I. Stroud and Richard D. Stroud; maternal grandparents: Monique Weaver-Conley and George L. Conley Jr.; paternal grandparents: Tracy R.

Jones; Great Aunty Neisha N. Weaver; who Bubba often thought was his Nana. A host of first and second cousins, family members love ones and friends.

“

Memory is a way of

holding on to the things you love,

”

Tina would like to let you know that her work here is done. She received a call, a sort of an offer you can’t refuse, for an appointment from which she will not be returning. This assignment comes with a huge sign-on bonus, a reunion with family and friends she has not seen in a long time. Her new mission takes her to a wonderful place where she will be socializing, dancing, gardening and reading to her heart’s content. Music, laughter and love are guaranteed. Food is delicious and you never gain an ounce. She left detailed instructions for her family and friends to celebrate her mission here, which has now been completed. Low adherence to this instruction will not be tolerated. We want to let Tina know that she did a great job and wish her a safe journey to the wonderful heavens above! We will remember her smile, her warmth, her energy, her love for life, family and friends, but also her boyfriend, many of whom over time also became friends. She worked very hard all her life, up until the very end. She made a difference in the lives of many. We invite you to join us and celebrate together. Tina Louise Jones was called home to rest at the age of thirty-two on Monday, November 21, 2020, at UCSD hospital in Hillcrest. Left to treasure her loving memory are: father Thomas Jones; brothers Thomas Jones, Jr., Kevin Smith, Tommy Jones, and Kal Smith; sisters Donna Smith, Shirley Jones, Adline Jones, Samantha Jones, Truley Jones, and Sadie Jones; boyfriend Quefon Kitt; along with a host of aunts, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

On Sunday, December 6, 2020, God saw fit to call Herman home to his eternal rest. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Curley, Sr. and Pauline McDonald, Beatrice Sims; step-mother Wilma Foster, bonus parent Eugene Taylor, and step- sister Andrea Smith.

Love Lives On

Those we love are never really lost to us — we feel them in so many special ways — through friends they always cared about and dreams they left behind, in beauty that they added to our days… in words of wisdom we still carry with us and memories that never will be gone… Those we love are never really lost to us — For everywhere their special love lives on. A. Bradley

the things you are, the things you never want to lose.

“STILL FAMILY OWNED STILL THE SAME QUALITY SERVICE STILL WORTHY OF YOUR TRUST”

Herman was educated in the San Diego Unified School District and graduated from Madison High School. He had a heart of gold and was full of life to all that knew him. God blessed Herman with four wonderful children: Brandon Foster, Demitrius Kaupe, Ashley Kaupe-James, and Ayanda Foster. He was a wonderful father, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, grandfather, and friend. He also was an avid Charger fan.

MEETING THE NEED Rev. Shane Harris’ Christmas Day Gifts

Photos by Voice & Viewpoint Newswire

Rev. Shane Harris, pictured on the left

By Voice & Viewpoint Staff While many people huddled at home on Christmas morning, Rev. Shane Harris and a team of volunteers gathered at the Jacob’s Center for Neighborhood Innovation to continue a four year tradition. Rev. Harris is President and Founder of the People’s Alliance For Justice. This year, instead of a breakfast event for those in need, Rev. Harris’ team of volunteers met an army of drive-thru families, many with kids in the car. They were greeted with beautifully wrapped gifts. Some recipients got out of their cars and picked from large tables of beautifully wrapped presents. Rev. Harris said that over 100 volunteers prepared the gifts and the elaborate set up, which featured music and dancing, young people at the various stations, and many of them wearing Santa Helper hats. There were over 800 boxes of food available for distribution. These were the standard boxes provided by Feeding San Diego that were distributed throughout the community last week. The pictures tell the story. 20SDG16532_Winter Rates-Energy Tips__Voice & Viewpoint__RUN: 12_10_20__ 4C__TRIM: 6.4375” x 10.5”

COMMUNITY NEWS BLACK GIRLS UNITED

Unveil Mural of Breonna Taylor By Voice & Viewpoint Staff

Black Girls United (BGU) is an organization formed with the purpose of uplifting, empowering and inspiring the young women of Lincoln High School. In support of Black Lives Matter and to show respect and gratitude, the group decided to paint a mural to honor Breonna Taylor, the young African American woman murdered in her home by police in Kentucky earlier this year while serving a wrongful

search warrant. The organization says Black Girls United believe Black women have been overlooked for far too long. Breonna’s death serves as a reminder of the fact that racial equality has yet to be achieved. The mural serves as a conversation starter and solemn reminder that the lives of Black people matter. The mural is located at 4512 Market street, San Diego, CA 92102.

HEALTHY LIVING

‘Tis The Season to Destress Nine ways to leave the 2020 blues behind Here are some tips to help you through this holiday season.

trol the way we think and the way we feel. Turn lemons into lemonade; see the cup half-full rather than halfempty. Try to maintain an attitude of gratitude.

Dr. Lenore Tate Special to California Black Media

Be courageous and set realistic expectations. Exercise restraint and discipline this holiday season rather than going through extraordinary efforts to recreate childhood memories (what we used to do). Don’t stretch your budgets thin buying things you don’t need or can’t afford. Don’t pay to access experiences that are beyond your budget and don’t empty the coffers creating situations that are beyond your means. Focus this year instead on creating less stress by only accomplishing what is possible. Don’t go overboard trying to achieve the impossible.

Control of your thoughts and emotions. There are so many things in life that we cannot change—from being exposed to COVID to the drama of family and friends. But we can change and con-

Develop a self-care plan. Okay, this might sound challenging, but it’s really not. Make a schedule with set time frames to wake up and sleep. Eat healthy at least once a day, spend 20 minutes outdoors, meditate, figure out a time to laugh and do something for just you. Keep your plan simple so you can succeed.

Be honest about your feelings. During these times, it is really important to be able to know HOW you feel about this time of the year and the people and events that are attached to the season. You may feel sadness or grief due to losses such as deaths, distance from family, or loss of loved ones due to sickness, separation or divorce. With these memories and feelings, it is healthier to stay in the present and try to imagine and create new

experiences during the holidays, even with COVID.

Avoid toxic people and situations. During the holidays, old family conflicts, resentments and feelings crop up. Consider limiting your time with family you know trigger those feelings. Avoid topics that will agitate you or other family members. Set clear boundaries. Keep your distance and balance YOUR needs with that of your family (remember self-care first!).

Put your own mask on first! Prioritize your health and safety. Take care of yourself first in every way— physically and mentally. Do something special for you. You will feel better about yourself.

Remind yourself about the true meaning of the holidays. If you are lonely, try volunteering or attend a support group. Many of them are online.

Watch or monitor what you eat and drink. Avoid overeating for comfort or not eating enough because you’re worried about weight again. Also, avoid drinking unhealthy amounts of alcohol whether you’re alone or in the company of loved ones.

Look positively to the future. Above all, be reminded that this stressful time will pass. Take a deep breath and imagine the good things that lie ahead for you in the new year. Envision it and plan accordingly. Visit us online at www.sdvoice.info to read the full article!

This Order is issued as a result of the World Health Organization’s declaration of a worldwide pandemic of COVID-19 disease, also known as “novel coronavirus.” 17. This Order is issued based on scientific evidence regarding the most effective approaches to slow the transmission of communicable diseases generally and COVID-19 specifically, as well as best practices as currently known and available to protect vulnerable members of the public from avoidable risk of serious illness or death resulting from exposure to COVID-19. The age, condition, and health of a significant portion of the population of the county places it at risk for serious health complications, including death, from COVID-19. Although most individuals who contract COVID-19 do not become seriously ill, persons with mild symptoms and asymptomatic persons with COVID-19 may place other vulnerable

members of the public— such as older adults, and those with underlying health conditions—at significant risk. 18. The actions required by this Order are necessary to reduce the number of individuals who will be exposed to COVID-19, and will thereby slow the spread of COVID-19 in the county. By reducing the spread of COVID-19, this Order will help preserve critical and limited healthcare capacity in the county and will save lives. 19. This Order is issued in accordance with, and incorporates by reference: a) the Declaration of Local Health Emergency issued by the Health Officer on February 14, 2020; b) the Proclamation of Local Emergency issued by the County Director of Emergency Services on February 14, 2020; c) the action of the County Board of Supervisors to ratify and continue both the local health emergency and local emergency on February 19, 2020; d) the Proclamation of a State of Emergency issued by the Governor of the State of California on March 4, 2020; e) Executive Order N-25-20 issued by the Governor of the State of California on March 12, 2020 which orders that “All residents are to heed any orders and guidance of state and local health officials, including but not limited to the imposition of social distancing measures, to control COVID-19”; f) Proclamation 9984 regarding COVID-19 issued by the President of the United States on March 11, 2020; g) Executive Order N-33-20 issued by the Governor of the State of California on March 19, 2020; h) the “Interim Additional Guidance for Infection Prevention and Control for Patients with Suspected or Confirmed COVID-19 in Nursing Homes” issued by the CDC; i) COVID-19 guidance issued by the California Department of Public Health on including, but not limited to the Face Coverings Guidance issued on November 16, 2020; j) the State of California’s “Resilience Roadmap;” k) the State of California’s Plan for Reducing COVID-19 and Adjusting Permitted Sector Activities to Keep Californians Healthy and Safe; l) the California Statewide Public Health Officer Order dated August 28, 2020; and m) the Regional Stay At Home Order issued by the California Public Health Officer on December 3, 2020. 20. This Order is issued to prevent circumstances often present in gatherings that may exacerbate the spread of COVID-19, such as: 1) the increased likelihood that gatherings will attract people from a broad geographic area;

2) the prolonged time period in which large numbers of people are in close proximity; 3) the difficulty in tracing exposure when large numbers of people attend a single event or are at a single location; and 4) the inability to ensure that such persons follow adequate hygienic practices. 21. This Order is issued to provide additional opportunities for recreational activities while also requiring additional protections from the spread of COVID-19 to the public who are taking advantage of these opportunities for recreational activities. And providing additional protections for employees of essential businesses or businesses or entities in State authorized sectors and their customers/clients. 22. This Order is issued to protect the public health as businesses are allowed to reopen by requiring businesses to implement procedures necessary to ensure their employees and customers comply with social distancing, sanitation and screening practices. 23. This Order comes after the release of substantial guidance from the Health Officer, the California Department of Public Health, the CDC, and other public health officials throughout the United States and around the world. 24. The statement of facts and circumstances set forth as justification for each Guidance issued by the California Department of Health Services that is referenced in this Order are hereby accepted and incorporated by reference into this Order. 25. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 120175.5 (b) all governmental entities in the county shall take necessary measures within the governmental entity’s control to ensure compliance with this Order and to disseminate this Order to venues or locations within the entity’s jurisdiction where gatherings may occur. 26. Violation of this Order is subject to fine, imprisonment, or both. (California Health and Safety Code section 120295.) 27. To the extent necessary, this Order may be enforced by the Sheriff or chiefs of police pursuant to Government Code sections 26602 and 41601 and Health and Safety Code section 101029. 28. Once this Order takes effect it shall supersede the Order of the Health Officer and Emergency Regulations dated December 5, 2020.

SDCA Helps San Diego

1952

Bring In A Merry Christmas!

FIRST YEAR WITHOUT LYNCHINGS SINCE THE CIVIL WAR Photos by Darrel Wheeler

By Darrel Wheeler On the Monday and Tuesday before Christmas, the nonprofit groups from the San Diego Community Assist (SDCA) and Heroes Helping Heroes turned the American Legion parking lot into Santa’s workshop. The Albert J. Hickman American Legion Post 460 in Kearny Mesa was the location where Santa’s helpers could be seen putting smiles on the faces of kids and their parents.

Serving the military families of San Diego was a priority for the community-caring groups during this very different holiday season. “Everyone was welcome, but we wanted to target the military this time and make sure they were included,” said SDCA member, Dana Bell. The SDCA provided 500 toys and 500 turkeys, including prepared meals for all the drive-by participants. The SDCA is composed of an incredible team that is dedicated and committed to helping those in need, led by founder Mr. Xavier Mitchell. The same can be said for Heroes Helping Heroes and it’s founder,

Mark George (“We are all in this together”). Community leaders Billy Carter and Galaxy Glen were also at Santa’s Workshop helping to spread some Christmas Joy. “I’m new to San Diego and we’re still trying to figure out what the community needs are, and we are not going to relegate our work only to the holidays,” said founder Xavier Mitchell. “We are going to connect with other groups and involve my other initiates to make events like this bigger and better. Next, we want to see what we can do for the homeless and bring something unique and life changing to that sad situation.”

American Legion’s State Commander, Ed Grimsley, and some of his staff were also on hand to help and assist in the two day project. “We are always willing to participate with groups that want to help military families. I really appreciate the SDCA and Heroes Helping Heroes for their willingness and courage to help make a difference in the lives of others,” said Grimsley. “I like the way they lead by example. They are real organizations of action. Any time I can help them, I’m all in.” COVID-19 couldn’t stop Christmas at the American Legion post 460.

1952 was the first year on record without lynchings since the Civil War. While no reliable records were kept prior to 1881, following Reconstruction, the Chicago Tribune, the NAACP, and the Tuskegee Institute began keeping independent records of lynchings. The Tuskegee Institute warned that “other patterns of violence”, such as the racist use of the death penalty, arson, and beatings, were becoming common in place of lynchings. Lynchings generally continued to decline and tracking was halted in 1968.

1972 ROBERT CLEMENTE DIES Roberto Enrique Clemente Walker (Robert Clemente) was born in 1934 in Puerto Rico. At 18, he was signed to Major League Baseball (MLB). Clemente was involved in charity work in several Latin-American and Caribbean countries. He died in a plane crash en route to deliver aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua. Clemente was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1973. His untimely death established the precedent that a player who has been deceased for at least six months is eligible for entry into the Hall of Fame.

Her message reached over a million people on social media as of December 24. Dr. Moore died on December 20. “This is how Black people get killed, when you send them home and they don’t know how to fight for themselves,” Dr. Moore said on the video. Moore asserted that her doctor attempted to discharge her at ten at night. Moore’s Facebook live post received wide attention and a lengthy segment on Roland Martin Unfiltered on December 23. Dr. Moore knew what to ask for as she was being treated for coronavirus and strongly felt she was not receiving the best treatment.
