| Girls' clothing chain Justice closing all stores, including 3 left on LI - Newsday Posted: 13 Nov 2020 12:00 AM PST Tween girls on Long Island who are fans of clothing chain Justice will have fewer options for picking up the latest fashions because the retailer is shutting down all its stores. A chain that sells clothing and accessories for girls 6 to 12 years old, Justice will close its remaining 108 stores by early next year, parent company Ascena Retail Group Inc. announced Wednesday. But the three remaining Long Island stores that will close this weekend were part of a list of 23 closings announced in September. Those three stores — in Tanger Outlets Riverhead, Tanger Outlets Deer Park and Lake Success Shopping Center in New Hyde Park — will close Sunday, employees at the stores said Wednesday. Since Ascena filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July, it has closed hundreds of clothing stores, including 13 on Long Island — eight Justices, a Catherine's in Patchogue, two Lane Bryants and two Lane Bryant Outlets. Ascena did not respond to questions about the closings, including an inquiry about how many jobs will be affected by the shutdowns. The 5,000-square-foot Justice in Deer Park and 4,500-square-foot store in New Hyde Park both opened in 2008, representatives for the shopping centers said. Tanger Outlets Riverhead did not respond to a request for comment. Ascena announced Wednesday that Justice Brand Holdings LLC, an entity formed by Manhattan-based brand management company Bluestar Alliance LLC, submitted a winning auction bid of $90 million to buy the intellectual property and certain related assets of Justice. . "A wind down of all Justice locations is expected to conclude by early 2021," Mahwah, New Jersey-based Ascena said in a statement. But the closing of hundreds of Ascena's stores, including the three remaining Justices on Long Island, was already in the works before the Bluestar deal. After Ascena filed for bankruptcy protection, it announced closings totaling 1,138 brick-and-mortar stores, including "a significant number of Justice stores," all locations of plus-size women's clothing chain Catherine's, and some women's clothing stores under the Ann Taylor, Loft, Lane Bryant and Lou & Grey names. Ascena had 2,764 stores as of Feb. 1, including 820 Justices. The company had been struggling for years with high debt and some weak brands, especially as Lane Bryant and Catherine's lost a growing share of the plus-size women's clothing market to mainstream and online retailers. But the company blamed losses from the COVID-19 pandemic for its move into bankruptcy protection. "The meaningful progress we have made driving sustainable growth, improving our operating margins and strengthening our financial foundation has been severely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we took a strategic step forward today to protect the future of the business for all of our stakeholders," Carrie Teffner, interim executive chair of Ascena, said in a statement in July.

| Lakers’ forward Kyle Kuzma helping provide 250 Flint children with winter clothing - MLive.com Posted: 08 Dec 2020 08:38 AM PST  FLINT – Kyle Kuzma and UnitedHealthcare are seeing to it that 250 Flint children will be a little warmer this winter. The Los Angeles Lakers forward from Flint is teaming with UnitedHealthcare to provide 250 local children with new winter coats, which will be distributed Thursday, Dec. 10 at the Boys & Girl Clubs of Greater Flint. UnitedHealthcare donated $10,000 to the Kyle Kuzma Foundation to offset the purchase of the coats and Kuzma will be providing new athletic shoes to the children. The Boys & Girls Clubs will also be providing additional winter clothing items such as gloves and hats. Kuzma will not be in attendance for the giveaway since he'll be participating in the Lakers' training camp. Kuzma helped the Lakers win this year's NBA championship during his third season. In 21 playoff games, he averaged 10.0 points and 3.1 rebounds. In 61 regular-season games, Kuzma averaged 12.8 points 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists. He was selected in the first round (27th overall) in the 2017 NBA draft out of Utah. Kuzma has a history of giving back to the Flint community. He has held free basketball camps in Flint, provided free meals to local seniors and donated basketball shoes to the players at Powers Catholic.

| The Cords family — a year later - Fillmore County Journal Posted: 07 Dec 2020 01:15 PM PST  Photo submitted A year ago the Jared and Erin Cords family experienced a devastating fire in which they lost their home as well as all other material things. All of the family members were able to escape the fire thanks to Erin waking Jared and Jared's quick action to rescue his girls. The girls suffered the most serious injuries. This past year brought many changes and challenges to their lives. The girls wear compression garments daily; Ravyn wears them over her hands, and Teagan and Peyton wear a full shirt with sleeves, gloves, and shorts. SPF clothes and hats complete the girls' ensembles when they play outside as well as a "boatload" of sunblock. According to Erin, the girls are really good about all the necessary clothes. They also need to have lotions applied twice daily to their scars. All of the girls are now having laser treatments every six weeks on their scars to encourage the growth of new skin, softening and smoothing the scar tissue and improving itchiness of the scarred area. Peyton and Teagan have their laser surgeries the same day, with Ravyn's laser treatment on her hands only several weeks later. The week after the laser treatments, the girls don't need to wear their compression garments, which they appreciate, but they do have to have Aquaphor applications four times daily during that time. "It's a slathering mess," Erin chuckled. The laser treatments had originally started in March, but COVID shutdowns then delayed them until June. The treatments are expected to continue for the next two years. Teagan, age 6, has OT (occupational therapy) in Winona once a month as well. The therapy is to stretch out the scarring on her knuckles. Rushford Schools was going to help with the therapy, but distance learning caused by COVID has slowed that down. Peyton, age 4, who suffered the most severe burns, had surgery on her hands in August. Scars on her hands were contracting so she needed new skin grafts on her hand. Surgeons had a hard time getting the sutures to hold; Peyton had to wear a cast on her hand as she started preschool. When school was in-person, Peyton would attend preschool in the morning, ride the bus home at noon, have a quick lunch, and head to Winona with her dad for appointments. Peyton has physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech sessions every week. Because her scars itch a lot, she is up at night often. The Cords family has been renting a home in Brooklyn in Rushford. The family is enjoying living there despite the girls' leariness of the smell whenever the neighbors burn in their wood burning stove.  Photo submitted While COVID caused some delays in treatments, and the family lost track of how many COVID tests they had to take, it did provide some benefits as well. The Cords girls were not the only kids who couldn't go to the pool; they stayed home and played with the neighboring girls. The girls enjoyed their summer, playing in their community of seven girls. Erin noted, I don't think the girls' recovery would be as far along if they hadn't had that group of girls! Ravyn, age 8, learned to ride her bike without training wheels in their quiet cul de sac and was able to take part in a horse camp this summer — the highlight of the summer for Ravyn (she now wants a horse of her own!). Little brother Triston, who was born in January, is the girls' "little joy." Having him join the family helped the girls a lot. Teagan in particular is a "little mother hen" with Triston according to Jared. All the girls are doing distance learning right now. Erin commented that it is better than it was in the spring. She feels the girls are being taught more, but wishes they could be learning even more. Peyton will be needing to have neck surgery and further laser treatment to release scar tissue coming up in December. The surgery will be a one day surgery the week of Christmas. Peyton will need many more surgeries in her childhood as she grows. "Things aren't set in stone, we can't plan things out," Erin shared. Jared and Erin are in the process of building a new home on the same land, but a different site. Plans were held up when they needed to get a variance from the county to build on their location. (It had been considered to be too close to a neighboring feed lot.) Now that they've gotten the variance, they're "pushing dirt" to prepare the building site. Hopefully, construction will begin in spring. Plans for the home are done, but they haven't had enough time to go and look at it. "All of our calendar is full with the girls' schedules," Erin commented. Erin was a dental assistant in Winona before the fire and Jared was an electrician in Rochester. Jared was laid off from his job because of COVID; he hopes to get back to work in the spring. At this point, both have been kept very busy with their family's needs. When asked if there was anything else they wanted to include, Jared responded that he wanted to once again thank all the communities and small towns which have supported them so much with not only material things, but good wishes and prayers. He ended saying, "Merry Christmas to you all from our family!"  |
