‘A Lot of Catching Up to Do:’ Relaxed Restrictions Allow Businesses To Return At Full Capacity

Many businesses are breathing a little easier knowing they can operate without restriction,

With the state removing virtually all business restrictions Wednesday, establishments are looking forward to getting back to business as usual or as close to it as possible while maintaining a safe environment.

Among the businesses affected the most have been bars and nightclubs. This morning, for the first time in over a year, the owner of Hartford’s Russian Lady was preparing to open for business.

“We’ve got a lot of catching up to do. We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us,” said Jerry Fornarelli.

Fornarelli, who also owns the Rocking Horse Saloon, estimates it could take three years to make up his losses. He is excited about Wednesday’s reopening but will do it cautiously. Safety barriers are in place and employees will be wearing masks.

“We want to keep our staff safe and our customers as well,” Fornarelli said.

Coinciding with the relaxation of restrictions the Department of Public Health (DPH) issued guidance. DPH recommends all people wear masks in schools, health care facilities, and transportation hubs.

Although private businesses can ask people to wear masks, they are no longer a state requirement for vaccinated people in many business settings.

Berlin’s Powerhouse Gym says it will maintain strict sanitation efforts but masks will be optional.

“People are finally able to breathe,” said Co-owner, Jack Banks.  “People are on the treadmill and they’re smiling again.”

Although Mohegan Sun is located on tribal lands its protocols are aligned closely with the state. Starting Wednesday, masks are no longer required for vaccinated people and restaurants are at full capacity. Still the casino is being cautious.

“It’s still going to stay at, every other slot machine. We’re going to keep our table maximums to three or four spots…

100 Days of the Biden Administration, Part II: Key Labor and Employment Policy Developments

In its first 100 days in office, the Biden administration has advanced its policy priorities, many of which have involved repealing the policy accomplishments of the previous presidential administration. The Biden administration can be expected to advance its own proposals soon.

The first part of this two-part blog series focused on the Biden administration’s first 100 days and reviewed the administration’s legislative plans. The second part of the series addresses policy developments occurring at the executive branch agencies and independent agencies.

U.S. Department of Labor

Personnel Is Policy

On March 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate confirmed former Boston mayor and union official Martin Walsh as secretary of labor. While it is still early, many in the business community remain optimistic about Walsh’s willingness to listen to their concerns. As for other leadership positions at the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), the deputy secretary of labor nominee, Julie Su, and solicitor of labor nominee, Seema Nanda, have had their confirmation hearings but have not been voted on by the full Senate. Su runs California’s Labor and Workforce Development Agency, while Nanda is an Obama-era DOL vet and former chief executive officer of the Democratic National Committee. If Su and Nanda are confirmed by the Senate, they will work with Walsh as the top three officials dictating policy at the DOL.

OSHA and Workplace Safety

  • Assistant secretary nominee. In early April 2021, President Joe Biden announced his intention to nominate Douglas L. Parker to be the assistant secretary of labor for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Parker currently serves as chief of California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA).
  • OSHA emergency temporary standard. For months, workers’ advocates and Democrats have been calling on OSHA to issue an emergency temporary standard (ETS) to protect workers from COVID-19….

‘It’s fun’: Man holds two world records for sky-high mohawk, credits salon for his success » 4State News MO AR KS OK

https://kubrick.htvapps.com/htv-prod-media.s3.amazonaws.com/images/screen-shot-2021-05-28-at-1-47-14-pm-1622224150.png

The Guinness World Record holder for the tallest mohawk credits his salon for his sky-high hairstyle. Joe Grisamore of Minnesota has trusted Family Hair Affair and Day Spa and hairstylist Kay Jettmann with his 50-inch-long locks for years. “Kay and I had worked together for a long time,” Grisamore told KARE. “We just do it without ratting it, laying on the floor. It was a big trial and error.” Grisamore’s wife, Laura, has also become a pro at perfecting the style.Grisamore explained that his world record title is specifically for the tallest spike mohawk. His mohawk measures at 50.9 inches, to be exact. In 2019, he also won the title for tallest mohican, or fan mohawk, in the world. “Of the two titles that exist, I now hold them both,” Grisamore said. “Laura wanted me to be humble and not do the second one, I figured if it’s out there and it exists, let’s make it happen.” Grisamore’s reason for all the effort that goes into the titles? It’s fun. “Yeah, that’s what it’s all about,” he said. “I don’t have a good answer as to really why. Good goal, good news and it’s fun.”Watch the video above to see all the work required to get Grisamore’s mohawk looking its best.

Perseverance and perspective guide Busey, DRG to success

Phil Busey (Courtesy photo)

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Journal Record Legacy Award recognizes lifetime achievement in leadership, honoring a prominent business figure leaving a legacy through his or her work in Oklahoma. The 2021 winner is Phil Busey Sr., and his accomplishment will be celebrated virtually on June 28. The Legacy Award presentation is part of the 12th annual Oklahoma’s Most Admired CEOs & Financial Stewardship Awards event, where 28 CEOs and two chief financial officers will be acknowledged this year.

Busey is founder, chairman and CEO of Delaware Resource Group in Oklahoma City. After practicing law for more than 25 years, he founded DRG in 2002. Experiencing 8,000% growth since inception, DRG is one of the largest defense contractors in the region, working with companies such as Lockheed, Boeing and the Air Force. DRG employs 850 people in the field and expects to be at 1,000 employees by August 2021.

“We never considered not growing,” Busey said. “We’re still growing, and we don’t have any intent not to do that.”

For Busey, successful business is all about relationships. “We have built our business on relationships. People say, ‘you’re a government contractor, so you just win contracts.’ No, it’s about relationships.”

He credits his diverse career experience, good mentors and a strong team as driving and shaping his business and his leadership philosophy.

“We wouldn’t be where we are if it wasn’t for the people we have, and the people that have helped us,” Busey said. “I love doing what I’m doing, and it took a long time to get to this point.”

DRG’s success story includes the entire Busey family. Sons Philip and Brian are both DRG employees, and wife Cathy has been…

Biden, Moon to talk China, chip crunch at White House summit

South Korean President Moon Jae-in is visiting the White House on Friday, the second foreign leader who United States President Joe Biden has welcomed to Washington since taking office. On the agenda is likely to be the global semiconductor chip shortage that’s paralysing the US auto industry as well as China’s dominance in the region.

Moon’s visit follows an April summit between Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga — and if the new administration’s choice of opening acts seems stage-managed, that’s no accident, say experts.

“It’s clear that the Biden administration is focused on strategic competition with China as a primary foreign policy objective, or as a primary frame for thinking about the challenges it faces in the world,” Scott Snyder, director of the US-Korea policy programme at the Council on Foreign Relations, told Al Jazeera. “It was very intentional that it opened its foreign policy approach in that way.”

The two visits from Asian heads of state come on the heels of an early March virtual meeting of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue between the US, India, Australia and Japan — a meeting which was also designed to present a united front to China’s growing global influence.

Later in March, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan visited South Korea and Japan before holding a tense meeting with Chinese officials in Alaska.

US officials brought up alleged human rights abuses against members of the Uighur Muslim minority with Chinese officials during a tense meeting in Alaska earlier this year [File: Yasin Akgul/AFP]That meeting included frank discussions on thorny issues including human rights abuses committed against the Muslim Uighur population in Xinjiang, a crackdown against democratic protesters in Hong Kong, repression in Tibet, sabre-rattling against Taiwan and cyberattacks on the US.

South Jersey Girls Lacrosse Top 10: Final regular season

All that’s left of the regular season are a few odds and ends plus games to fill out the slight lull before the playoffs begin on Tuesday.  

Each of the teams in the Top 10 has a shot at taking home a sectional title and earning a berth into state championship weekend. All you have to do is keep winning. 

Here is a final look at the top teams heading into the playoffs:  

1. Haddonfield (record through Tuesday 13-1, last week 3) 

The Bulldogs pulled off the upset of the season with an overtime win at Moorestown last week. Does anyone remember the last South Jersey team other than Shawnee to pull off that feat? Answer below. 

Playoff opener: South Group 1 first-round vs. No. 16 Collingswood 

2. Cherokee (15-0, 2) 

South Jersey’s last remaining unbeaten has the last great test ahead of it on Friday against Lenape.  

Playoff opener: South 4 vs. (16) Williamstown 

3. Moorestown (11-2, 1) 

The Quakers haven’t been ranked below No. 1 in South Jersey since 2010, which should make the South 3 playoff field very nervous. 

Playoff opener: South 3 quarterfinal on June 5 

4. Lenape (10-2, 4) 

Lenape has a tasty playoff tuneup ahead on Friday when they host Cherokee for what could be a South 4 championship preview. 

Playoff opener: South 4 vs. (14) Howell 

5. Cherry Hill West (11-2, 5) 

The breakout team on 2021, the Lions should see their first real test on the South 3 semifinals. 

Playoff opener: South 3 vs. (14) Brick Memorial 

6. Clearview (11-5, 6) 

The Gloucester County Cup is on tap for Wednesday against West Deptford, then the No. 2 seed in south 3 thanks to a head-to-head win against Shawnee.  

Playoff opener: South 3 vs. (15) Toms River East 

7. Ocean City (10-3, 10) 

Nothing shakes up the Top 10 quite like a head-to-head battle. Ocean City nipped Mainland on Senior Night to jump up to the No. 7 spot.  

Playoff opener: South 3 vs. (13) Jackson
