Lee Phillip Bell, who channeled her journalism into soap operas, dies at 91 - The Washington Post

Lee Phillip Bell, a Chicago television personality who interviewed politicians and celebrities, reported on divorce and sexual assault, and partnered with her husband to create two of TV’s longest-running soap operas, bringing a focus on social issues to a genre more commonly known for sentimental romance, died Feb. 25 at her home in Los Angeles. She was 91. Her death was announced in a statement by her family, which did not cite a cause.Few soaps have entertained, enchanted and even educated viewers like those developed by Mrs. Bell and her husband, William J. Bell, who together created “The Young and the Restless” and its sister show, “The Bold and the Beautiful.” Reaching millions of viewers in countries around the world, both programs examined issues like teenage pregnancy, alcoholism, homelessness and incest — topics that Mrs. Bell had previously explored as the host of television specials and an afternoon talk show.As a broadcaster and journalist, Mrs. Bell was something like the first lady of the... https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/lee-phillip-bell-who-channeled-her-journalism-into-soap-operas-dies-at-91/2020/02/27/a5d03dd8-5974-11ea-9000-f3cffee23036_story.html

Nebraska funeral homes deal with virus-caused restrictions - The Advocate

Another change in HLMK’s routine came Thursday when a florist told them the business no longer will deliver funeral arrangements. Kuhl said they will pick up the flowers or ask someone else to do so. Funeral homes and their staffs already follow industry health-related standards for transporting bodies. Kuhl said some state and national reminders, plus Centers for Disease Control and Prevention information specific to the coronavirus, have been added to the universal standards. “So I don’t want to say it’s business as usual,” he added McBride said funeral homes, like medical facilities, are concerned about shortages of masks and other protective equipment purchased in large quantities by the public. “Even the shortage of cleaning supplies ... We’re facing the same challenges as everyone,” Kuhl said. When asked about health safety measures followed when he’s called to a hospital, nursing home or other site where someone has died, Redinger said, “Most or all of the facilities are screening us before we go in to make a removal. They’ll ask questions about if we’ve traveled and take our temperatures.” If the location has confirmed or suspects that someone has COVID-19, he would take extra precautions. “We always wear PPE (personal protective equipment), gloves, for sure. In that case, we may wear a gown or face shield,” Redinger said. “They train us to treat every body like it has a communicable disease because with HIPPA, we never really know.” Social distance is on McBride’s mind more now. “I’ve always been a handshaker,” he said. “I still want to do that, but I find myself putting my hands in my pockets more now.” “It’s hard to turn that off,” Kuhl added. “It’s hard to convey the personal part of the job we do when there is that distance,” McBride said, especially after learning so much about each family in such a short time. “... It’s a fine line you’re gonna have to walk.” Redinger said he and his staff also are trying to decrease contact, such as shaking hands. “But if someone reaches out a hand, I’ll still take it,” he added. !-- e hearst/article/types/story_b... https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Nebraska-funeral-homes-deal-with-virus-caused-15151627.php

Duluth couple's flower farm a blossoming family biz - Duluth News Tribune

He and his wife, Brook, run Duluth Flower Farm. What started as a cut-flower business has evolved into a year-round florist and wreath operation. The idea came when Derek's parents had been growing gladiolus. Derek started dahlias in the greenhouse, and there, they found a niche in the locally grown flower market. “Duluth’s a big wedding town,” he said. PHOTO GALLERY: The scene at Derek and Brook Hoffbauer's Duluth Flower Farm Today, he and Brook grow a few veggies on their 20 acres, and they have more than 100 types of flowers, including lisianthus, dianthus, cosmos, ageratum. Dahlias are their No. 1 specialty, he said. Derek Hoffbauer holds a ball dahlia and a regular dahlia to compare their unique shapes at Duluth Flower Farm on July 25, 2019.
