By HILARY POWELL

On a quiet day this month, barber Trey Cato had someone new in his chair — someone who’d come for the conversation, not the haircut. “When kids’ friends get shot and they die, [the kids] go get the [memorial] T-shirt, but before he goes to the church and the funeral, he stops at the barbershop to get a haircut,” Cato recalled telling Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, who traveled hours from the state capital to visit his shop in Fort Wayne. “The barbers have so much influence.” Cato is part of a national coalition of haircutters doing double duty to improve the health of Black men. Operat- ing under a vision that they are “more than a pair of clippers,” national nonprofit The Confess Project is helping Black barbers talk about mental health, one client at a time.

By SHELLY SHAFER CATES

It’s no secret that the holidays are looking different this year due to COVID-19. Families and friends are looking for new ways to celebrate while keeping everyone safe. This change can serve as an opportunity to create new traditions. Part of Ronald McDonald House Charities’ mission is to keep families close, and this year it is especially important to share how all families can still remain close for the holidays. Shelly Shafer Cates, director of operations at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Indiana, has put together a list of nontraditional ways we can celebrate this year while keeping our families close.

COVID-19 vaccine: What to know

By TYLER FENWICK [email protected]

Indiana received its first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine this week, mark- ing a major milestone on the path out of the pandemic that has afflicted the United States since March. State health officials offered some answers about the vaccine during a COVID-19 update Dec. 9, including how long it will take for most people to have access to the vaccine and what scientists have learned during clinical trials. How does the vaccine work? The vaccine, produced by Pfizer, is an mRNA vaccine, and it became the first to be granted emergency use authorization (EUA) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Dec. 11. Other COVID-19 vaccines in development use the same method. Unlike vaccines for other viruses, which put a weakened or inactive germ into the body, an mRNA vaccine teaches cells how to make a protein — or part of a protein — to trigger an immune response. The immune system then produces antibodies, which FedEx is one of the carriers handing some of the first shipments of the COVID-19 vaccine.

More US churches commit to racism-linked reparations

By DAVID CRARY AP National Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — The Episcopal Diocese of Texas acknowledges that its first bishop in 1859 was a slaveholder. An Episcopal church erects a plaque noting the building's creation in New York City in 1810 was made possible by wealth resulting from slavery. And the Minnesota Council of Churches cites a host of injustices, from mid-19th century atroci- ties against Native Americans to police killings of Black people, in launching a first-of-its-kind “truth and reparations” initiative engaging its 25 member denominations. These efforts reflect a widespread surge of interest among many U.S. religious groups in the area of reparations, particularly among long-established Protestant churches that were active in the era of slavery. Many are weighing how to make amends through financial investments and long-term programs benefiting African Americans. Some major denominations, including the Roman Catholic Church and the Southern Baptist Conven- tion, have not embraced reparations as official policy. Rev. Brian C.
