Brothers from San Diego Hold Demonstration in Bakersfield to Promote Disinfectant Product

By Darlene L. Williams Contributing Writer BAKERSFIELD, Calif.—Ramont Smith and Ray Smith Jr. are not just brothers, but also Founder and CoFounder of a cleaning product that guarantees self-cleaning surface disinfectant protection for up to 1-year.

A demonstration to showcase the product and its uses was held Friday, March 27, 2020 at UPSTART VILLAGE 201 New Stine Rd. #300. Approximately 15

people and a local news station were in attendance for the demonstration.

The brothers were in Bakersfield to promote the strength of the product which, if applied professionally annihilates: bacteria, fungus, viruses, and mold explained, Pastor Gregory Tatum (TruClean Product Regional director for the Northern and Central Valley).

“After coaching youth football, Ray became concerned about the cleanliness of the artificial turf and if it was being cleaned and sanitized. He stumbled upon a product that had been proven to bond to surfaces and shut down microbes”, said Karen Smith (Mother and Business partner).

According to truclean365.com,”TruClean bonds to surfaces at the molecular level for extended periods of time and does not readily wash off the surface.”

Ramont Smith, founder and civil engineer said, “We want to be able to create a standard of clean in our environment.”

“We want to be able to advertise that this is the next level of surface protection,” he said. “And we want to help the industry shift from old toxic chemistries to new technology that’s non-toxic and works continually and long term.”

The young entrepreneurs’ product is largely utilized in schools, churches, industrial and domestic organizations, private and international organizations including: Wu Han, China, Brazil, South Africa, South Korea, and Singapore.

The product can also be purchased for home use, at work, or on the go, for 90-days of coating protection, said Ray Smith (Co-Founder) “Our product represents persistent technology,” he said. It represents protection in between the routine cleaning and disinfecting process. It’s going to give you that hedge of protection.”

The product is non-toxic and safe to for use around, food children and pets. The product is EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) approved.

TruClean365 is a surface coating disinfectant that

once applied the product works continuously by bonding to the surface even after it dries. TruClean365 was launched in March, 2013, and is successfully operating in San Diego, California, internationally, and worldwide.

US Agency Includes Gun Sellers as ‘Critical’ Infrastructure WASHINGTON (AP) – A gun rights group is cheering the Trump administration’s designation of the firearms industry, including retailers, as part of the nation’s critical infrastructure during the coronavirus emergency.

The designation by the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is advisory. The agency notes that the designation does not override determinations by individual jurisdictions of what they consider critical infrastructure sectors.

The firearms industry was not part of the federal agency’s original list of critical infrastructure issued just over a week ago. The designation in an update released Saturday follows a brewing legal battle between gun rights groups and California officials.

The group Gun Owners of America says in a statement Saturday that it is encouraged that the Trump administration is not ignoring what it calls “the ability to protect yourself ” during the emergency stemming from the pandemic.

Gun rights groups filed suit last Friday after the Los Angeles County sheriff closed gun stores in the wake of California Gov. Gavin Newsom saying that each of the state’s 58 counties could decide for themselves whether to list firearms dealers as nonessential businesses that should be subject to closure while the state seeks to limit the spread of the virus.

The lawsuit claims that the designation violates the Second Amendment, but officials cite a public health issue.

Volkswagen Suspends Production in Europe

Wednesday, April 1, 2020

BAKERSFIELD NEWS OBSERVER

World & Nation

The company noted that the suspension of production would begin on March 19, and it’s anticipating that it would last for 10 working days.

By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Senior Correspondent Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWCV) is taking action in response to the coronavirus pandemic and will be suspending vehicle production.

The company noted that the suspension of production would begin on March 19, and it’s anticipating that it would last for 10 working days.

Production at plants in Spain, Slovakia, Poland, Germany and Italy are all affected.

The company said the reason for the suspension is because of the uncertain sales environment for light commercial vehicles, the suppliers’ volatile supply chains and to protect the health of all employees: “The coronavirus pandemic is naturally having an impact on our entire business: on supply chains, on our production operation, on sales and on our distribution and service partners,” Thomas Sedran, Chairman of the VWCV brand’s Board of Management, stated in a news release.

“In close consultation with our works councils and within the Group network, we have therefore decided at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles to shut down production at all three sites. This is the only right decision to take, not least so as not to expose our workers to any unnecessary health risk.”

St. Louis Publisher Praises Establishment of NNPA Task Force and Resource Center

“The Task Force will get to the people who are best informed to get that vital information, and we will be able to share the best and most accurate information available,” stated Dr. Donald M. Suggs, the publisher and executive editor of the St. Louis American, Missouri’s largest African American-owned newspaper.

By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Senior Correspondent The establishment of the National Newspaper Publishers Association’s (NNPA) Coronavirus Task Force and Resource Center is both timely and necessary, and publishers, partners, sponsors, and others should quickly rally around the concept, according to one distinguished NNPA publisher.

“It’s extremely important because the Task Force will use the credible sources available to provide vital information to the Black community,” stated Dr. Donald M. Suggs, the publisher and executive editor of the St. Louis American, Missouri’s largest African Americanowned newspaper.

Suggs, who holds degrees from Indiana University and Washington University, said a recent article published in the St. Louis American drove home the point that African Americans must be better informed.

He noted that the NNPA Task Force and Resource Center is positioned to inform the Black community.

“We just had this explosion on our social media platforms and website when we published the story of the first Black woman to die from the virus – she was a nurse,” said Dr. Suggs.

“The story blew up because there’s been so much misinformation in our community and the myth that Black people can’t get the coronavirus. This was a nurse,” continued Dr. Suggs.

Judy Wilson-Griffin, an African American nurse who worked at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital, was the first person in the St. Louis region to succumb to COVID-19.

While St. Louis County Executive Sam Page identified her only as a county woman, the St. Louis American provided more information, including identifying her while noting that Wilson-Griffin had multiple health complications before contracting the virus.

Her diagnosis was confirmed 48 hours after being tested for the virus.

“There’s a lot of rumors and I knew that we had a special role to play,” argued Dr. Suggs. “That’s why the NNPA Task Force is so important. We have to have special, validated information. Our community has a disproportionate amount of exposure to disease and the NNPA collectively is in position to make certain that they are aware of the kind of information that’s out there and relevant to the Black community.”

He continued: “The problem with social media is that there’s too much misinformation. People need to have a trusted source of where they get their information. In the Black community, you have other diseases like breast cancer and prostate cancer, and our experience is different from others, so what you would recommend to African Americans isn’t what you’d recommend to everyone else.

“We know that African Americans routinely aren’t

House Passes $2 Trillion Stimulus Continued from Page A1

Colorado Rep. Ken Buck argued that he didn’t want “the cure to be worse than the problem itself.” Buck objected to the inclusion in the package of $75 million for public broadcasting, $50 million for museums and libraries, and $25 million for the Kennedy Center.

Earlier, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) blasted Senate members for including $13 million for Howard University, a historically black college.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) attempted to force a full yes or no vote that reportedly irritated House members who agreed to do a voice vote in which members were not required to attend in person and risk personal safety in light of the spreading coronavirus.

Earlier, several civil rights organizations noted watching with vigilance as Senate negotiations and, later, voting in both chambers took place.

“We know that when the economy goes into decline, people of color always bear the brunt,” said Teresa Candori, communications director for the National Urban League.

“We will be fighting to make sure the most vulnerable communities are not an afterthought.”

The coronavirus is “an equal-opportunity pandemic,” stated Melanie Campbell, president of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation.

“If you think about (Hurricane) Katrina, if you think about other catastrophes, a lot of times, bailouts ended up taking care of the top, and then it trickles down to the people,” Campbell said.

“Our federal government has to be bold about responses as this is an ever-evolving pandemic that can become a real catastrophe for people’s daily lives.”

Many said they’re reminded that the household wealth of communities of color declined during the 2008 recession.

They said those losses never recovered, and it’s led to fears that minorities will again suffer a severe and longterm hit as the nation battles COVID-19 and whatever the aftermath might present.

The agreed upon stimulus package includes one-time direct payments of $1,200 per adult who made $75,000 or less in 2019 and $2,400 for couples who made less than $150,000.

An additional $500 will be added for each child.

If individuals haven’t filed 2019 taxes, the payouts will be based on their 2018 returns.

The payments will phase out at a rate of $5 per every additional $100 in income over $75,000 in adjusted gross income for single adults, $112,500 for heads of household, and $150,000 for married couples filing jointly.

The checks would be directly deposited into bank accounts if you included direct deposit information on your tax form. If you did not, your check would be mailed.

Lawmakers and President Trump have said they want the checks mailed by April 6. Still, because the Internal Revenue Service has reduced staff at all of its locations because of the coronavirus, many believe the checks may not go out until May. Residents are not expected to have to fill out any forms or call the IRS because the government will automatically send payment based on information culled from a 2018 or 2019 tax return.

Meanwhile, with unemployment rates expected to approach 20 percent – and as much as 30 percent among minorities, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) emphasized the need for more available benefits and a more extended period.

Under the stimulus deal, the federal government adds $600 per week to the state benefits jobless workers

currently receive. The deal adds four months to the 26week limit that benefits are paid.

“It’s unemployment insurance on steroids,” Schumer proclaimed. “But, and most importantly, the federal government will pay your salary, your full salary, for now, four months.”

Michele Evermore, the senior policy analyst at the National Employment Law Project, called the inclusion of the new unemployment provision, “unprecedented.”

“Because this situation is so different, we have to break all the rules,” Evermore stated.

The new stimulus also adds a “pandemic unemployment assistance program,” which provides jobless benefits to independent contractors, gig economy workers, and the self-employed, who typically don’t qualify for such assistance.

For small businesses, the stimulus means they will get $367 billion to keep making payroll even while workers are required to stay at home.

Companies with 500 employees or less that keep paychecks steady could get up to $10 million each in forgivable small business loans.

Federally guaranteed loans will provide eight weeks of assistance for qualifying employers who maintain payroll.

Those who meet requirements would have costs such as utilities, mortgage interest, and rent forgiven. Individuals can also defer payment of their 2020 payroll taxes for up to two years, and employers are allowed to cut workers’ hours but not lay them off.

Those workers are then eligible for some unemployment benefits.

Businesses can apply for COVID-19 relief through the stimulus by visiting, www.sba.gov/coronavirus. The website is expected to become operational soon.

included in clinical studies, so we need to have information available to us, and the NNPA needs to share that information with influential members of the community and the community in general.

“The Task Force will get to the people who are best informed to get that vital information, and we will be able to share the best and most accurate information available.”

As of this writing, health officials have confirmed more than 120,204 cases of the coronavirus in the United States, with at least 1,997 deaths. Globally, there are nearly 650,926 confirmed cases and more than 30,642 deaths.

“We have not seen this before, and there’s still so much uncertainty,” said Dr. Suggs. “We know that so many with preexisting conditions and seniors are susceptible to the virus, but I know I’ve not seen anything like this. Not even AIDS represented this kind of threat to people’s well-being and a threat to the economy.”

Continued Dr. Suggs: “Look at what’s happened over the past few days with the number of cases and deaths rapidly increasing. What’s going on in Florida? There are a lot of older people there, and then you have those kids on the beach during Spring Break, and they will go home and spread the virus. This is a challenge.

“This changes from day-to-day, and we all have to take this very seriously. It’s a moving target that we’re trying to address. We have to talk to those who are informed, particularly from a Black perspective, and that’s what this NNPA Task Force will do.”

NEW ORLEANS — Drive-through COVID-19 testing is now open in New Orleans.

Mardi Gras Coronavirus Tests New Orleans Why New Orleans has become a hot spot is uncertain, although medical experts and government officials openly speculate that the annual Mardi Gras celebration in late February was a factor.

It draws more than a million tourists and locals to city streets each year.

By KEVIN McGILL and REBECCA SANTANA Associated Press NEW ORLEANS (AP) _ There were the great fires of 1788 and 1794 and the multiple yellow fever outbreaks of the 1800s. Hurricane Betsy hit in 1965, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and the memories linger in New Orleans like remnants of a bad dream.

Now the city is one of the nation's hot spots for coronavirus. As of Friday, New Orleans and neighboring Jefferson Parish had recorded more than 80 of the state's 119 COVID-19 deaths and more than 1,700 of the state's 2,700-plus known cases. The numbers have been climbing fast, in part because increased testing is revealing more people to have the disease.

Why New Orleans has become a hot spot is uncertain, although medical experts and government officials openly speculate that the annual Mardi Gras celebration in late February was a factor. It draws more than a million tourists and locals to city streets each year.

Gov. John Bel Edwards has repeatedly warned that the state's health care system could be overwhelmed by early April. Louisiana is preparing for 2,000 to 4,000 patients above normal for this time of year, said Joseph Kanter, an assistant state health officer.

Morial Convention Center, which sheltered Katrina refugees in sweltering squalor, is about to become an emergency hospital for a potential overflow of virus patients, which will once again test emergency preparedness in a city where rescue efforts were widely viewed as inadequate in 2005. The rush is on to corral protective masks and gowns for medical personnel and to gather lifesaving ventilators.

Meanwhile, an economy largely built on the opposite of social distancing _ tourism, crowded restaurants, music at bars and nightclubs _ is being sacrificed to stay-home orders, business shutdowns and bans of gatherings of more than 10 people. Live music, which reverberates through the city's history, is, for now, history itself.

Bartenders, waiters and hotel staffers are out of work.

And the city's heralded musicians, who could at least travel the world looking for gigs after Katrina, have nowhere to go in a pandemic.

“I've been playing music all my life, since I was a teenager,'' said 78-year-old John Moore, better known as session guitar virtuoso, singer and band leader Deacon John. “I've never been unemployed. But now, all of a sudden, WHOP! The day the music died.''

“It does feel like what we cherish about this city is being taken away from us,'' said George Ingmire, a longtime

DJ at the city's famed roots music station WWOZ. “The reason that some of us came here and never left ... and those that are from here and take deep pride in ... That's all unavailable right now. That's really heartbreaking.''

The city's vulnerabilities include its poverty and lowwage jobs.

“I worry very much that a lot of people in our city are operating ... on a paycheck-to-paycheck basis,'' said John Clarke, a professor at Tulane University's business school.

He said the New Orleans economy lacks big companies that are often better positioned than smaller enterprises to weather financial ups and downs. The industries that New Orleans has in abundance _ hospitality, gambling, tourism _ have basically “come to a full stop.”

A high poverty rate could also crimp the city's ability to combat the disease. Drive-up testing, which allows symptomatic people to get tested while lessening their possible exposure, isn't always an option for the poor.

According to the Data Center, a New Orleans-based think tank, nearly 1 in 5 households do not have access to a car.

Preexisting conditions, a risk for those who get COVID-19, are another problem in south Louisiana, Kanter said.

“We know that our population has more other diseases,

underlying, than perhaps other parts of the country do. We have a lot of diabetes, heart disease, renal disease and liver disease here. That puts us at risk for worst outcomes - very difficult to model for these,'' Kanter said.

For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such afever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death. The vast majority of people recover.

Meanwhile, medical workers are conserving protective masks and gowns by re-using them. A nurse at a suburban New Orleans hospital, who was not authorized to speak to reporters and spoke on condition of anonymity, said staffers have discussed using plastic rain ponchos, like the ones French Quarter tourists buy at souvenir shops on rainy days, as protective gowns.

“People are handling it well and soldiering on,'' the nurse said. “But there's a lot of people worried about catching it and giving it to your family and all that stuff ...

We want to help but we don't want to be sacrificial lambs.”

‘On My Block’ Cast Seeks Truth in Playing Inner-City Teens

By AMANDA LEE MYERS Associated Press WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) – Cast members of Netflix's “On My Block'' say they feel honored to be able to represent teenagers who've long seen themselves portrayed as stereotypes.

The show in its third season tells the story of a group of black and Latino teens navigating high school and the realities of growing up in inner-city Los Angeles.

Critics have praised the comedy-drama for its nuance and care in depicting the four bright, street-savvy friends.

In a recent interview, the stars of the show said they feel a level of responsibility in the truth of their portrayals.

That responsibility can be “terrifying,'' said actress Jessica Marie Garcia, who plays an annoying but lovable busybody who just wants to be part of the cool kids.

“We want to make sure that we do it right and that we don't let them down,'' Garcia said. “It's so rare that you get to see a cast like us in the same show that it's like, we just want to do it right and make them proud.”

Her co-star Bret Gray, who plays a super nerd, said he thinks they're doing a pretty good job because their fans wouldn't hold back if they weren't.

“They are not afraid to tell us,'' he said. “They would let us know, like, `You guys are not doing this,''' he said.

“Since we know that, you know, they care so much that it's an honest feedback and the feedback is positive and that we are doing them justice. So it feels good.”

The cast also hopes the show reaches more than just teens who can identify with the show's story lines.

“There's huge parts of the country that don't know how we grow up and what our lives are like,'' Garcia said.

“So I think it's really important to humanize what you may have seen stereotypes of in the past. I think that's huge.”

For actor Diego Tinoco, who plays a reticent gang initiate, he hopes the show teaches the importance of resilience.

“Push through the difficult times,'' he said. “(Don't) let your circumstances define who you are as a person. I think it's a universal message not only on our show, but just with everybody in their own life. Each and every single one of us are going through our own dilemma, our own problems and stuff, and it's just never get to give up.”

The third season of “On My Block'' came out on Netflix last week.
