Bid for Junior Miss Title to go virtual By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Organizers of this year’s Distinguished Young Women’s Program are not letting the threats of the COVID-19 pandemic ruin years of tradition. Toni Winters, the chairperson for the scholarship program better known in this area as Junior Miss, says rather than cancelling, program organizers will be hosting a virtual scholarship contest this weekend. “We started up with the girls in March and we had a couple of practices and got everybody in gear and then COVID hit and schools shut down. So, we stopped and we were still going to continue but then, we got word from nationals that we couldn’t continue that we had to shut the program down. Nobody was able to do anything. So, we shut down for a while and held our breath to see what was going to happen and I started off with nine girls in March and I ended up with six girls in June and they were still interested. They wanted to do the program. So nationals went digital on Zoom and did their actual national program in Mobile, Alabama in June via Zoom so we decided we could do the same thing. Locally, we could have practice here, spread apart and that’s what we’ve been doing,” said Winters. Winters say the contest has been outlined with all regards to safety for both the committee and the young ladies. She says although the

contest will be done individually, the announcement of winners and the program itself will be pieced together at the end. “We are going to record them Friday night, each one individually on the stage in all the categories and then Saturday morning, they have the interviews with the judges and that’s going to be done via Zoom (individually) and then the judges will get the parts that we recorded

and view those, and will score the girls and then send their scores in and then on Saturday evening at 4 o’clock, we are going to have the girls come back to the Texas Theater and we are going to announce the winners and then we release the video of everything to the public on a certain app that we will give the girls the information to go to. It won’t be for the whole wide world but if you know somebody, you can get the information and watch the girls,” said Winters. Winters says the local Junior Miss program for years has afforded cash and scholarships for dozens and dozens of young ladies throughout Guadalupe County. She says the contest has hailed both state and even a national winner. She says it did not seem right to cancel something that makes a big difference in a student’s life and could impact their future. “My heart just wouldn’t let it go. I wanted them to have their opportunity to have their program as a junior in high school,” said Winters. The six participants in this year’s contest include Jeannie Woodlee, Liv Hernandez, Kenzie Kluth, Emma Luu, Eleanor Puchot and Kamdyn Holt. Again, the winner of the contest will be announced on Saturday. Those winners will also be announced and showcased in the Seguin Daily News.

Harvard: Southern COVID Surges Did Not Come From Visitors From North
(Cambridge, MA) -- Harvard researchers are concluding coronavirus case surges in southern states are due to premature reopenings. The university’s Global Health Institute debunked CDC Director Robert Redfield’s claim blaming the spikes on travelers coming down from northern states. Harvard said the common thread among states seeing large outbreaks is the relaxation of restrictions near the end of May led to an increase in early June. Redfield made the comments Tuesday during a virtual event.
Kohl’s Is Latest To Make Masks Mandatory
(Menomonee Falls, WI) -- Mask up in Kohl’s. Shoppers will be required to cover up at all stores starting Monday due to soaring coronavirus cases. It was the fourth retailer to reveal the new rule on Wednesday. Walmart and Sam’s Club also start Monday while grocery chain Kroger begins Wednesday. But these aren’t the only places. The list already includes Costco, Apple, Dollar Tree, Best Buy and Starbucks.
Study: Arizona Is Most Resistant To Wearing Masks
(Phoenix, AZ) -- It looks like people in Arizona are the most resistant to wearing masks as a way to protect against coronavirus. That’s what a new study shows. The website ‘Survival at Home’ looked at 150-thousand Twitter posts to find hashtags like “no mask” or “burn your mask.” Then they made a mapped out the states most against covering up. Arizona came out on top followed by Nevada, Florida, Idaho and Maine.
McConnell: Next COVID Bill To Emphasize Getting Kids Back In School
(Undated) -- Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is prioritizing support for schools when it comes time for a new coronavirus relief bill. He acknowledged the heavy emphasis on education will be “costly.” McConnell said if kids are not back in school this fall, then there will be “job issues.” In the next package, he said he is open to more direct checks but added leaders made a mistake in the last bill, making it more attractive for people to stay home than to work. McConnell also expressed total faith in Dr. Anthony Fauci [[ FOW-chee ]], who has been criticized by members of the White House.
