Face Coverings Required inTarrant County Businesses Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley announced Thursday, June 25that face coverings will be required in all Tarrant County businesses,going along with measures taken across the state during a spike inCOVID-19 infections. The order went into effect at 6 p.m. on Friday,June 26 and will stay through 6 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 3. The order alsoapplies to outdoor gatherings of more than 100 people. The order does not apply to children under the age of 10, peoplewho are eating or drinking and people who have a medical conditionand are unable to wear a mask safely. When asked about the possible penalties for non-compliance,Whitley said the goal was not give citations or arrest people.

sented, and as of July 2, there have been a total of 13,423 total cases inTarrant County, with 233 deaths. Benbrook has had 106 total cases and 7 deaths. Hinderaker did review Executive Order GA-29, which mandatesthe wearing of face coverings over the nose and mouth when inside acommercial entity or other building or space open to the public. “You do not have to wear a face covering if you are exercising out-doors, provided that you are social distancing from other people not inyour immediate family,” Hinderaker said. He also discussed and amendment to Executive Order GA-28, lim-iting restaurants occupancy to 50 percent capacity and gatherings to nomore than 10 people, without mayoral approval. “As your mayor, I will probably stand very fast on that order fromthe governor, and we will limit it down to 10 people,” Dittrich said. “Iprobably would be very reluctant to make any exceptions. So please

Senior Athlete Tribute: Benbrook MHS Bobcat Wrestlers

Pictured are: Benbrook Middle-High School Wrestling team mem-bers: Caleb McIntire, Sam Andrade, junior team captain Angie Adamsand Isaiah Carpenter.

The 2019-20 season was memorable for the Benbrook wrestlingteam, and coach Wade Cribbs said he is grateful for what his seniorscontributed. The Benbrook senior wrestlers this season were Isaiah Carpenter,Sam Andrade, Caleb McIntire, and Natalya Salas. “The crop of seniors leaving us have been wrestling for their entirehigh school career,” Cribbs said. “They brought a ton of leadership andexperience to us this past year that made us into a competitive team.They led constantly through great attitude, effort, and by example. “Our three senior boys advanced further than all of our other boysat regionals. The effort they put into this season, and really their entirehigh school careers, have left Benbrook wrestling in place to be suc-cessful for years to come. They are irreplaceable leaders.”

Carpenter qualified for the state tournament this season in the 182-pound weight class, as did sophomore Jessy Coons in the girls 110-pound weight class. The Bobcats wrestling team was fortunate to get its entire season inbefore the COVID-19 outbreak suspended the spring sports seasons,but said it still have affected his athletes and coaches. “COVID was just starting when we headed off to the state meet, sowe did not have to alter our plans any,” Cribbs said. “The worst partabout it is to not be in physical contact with my athletes. It is difficultmissing out on the last few months before you send your seniors offinto the great big world. Zoom meetings and Remind posts help, butnothing compares to actually getting to spend time as a team and fam-ily.” Cribbs said he would like for his athletes to have taken away a fewthings from their time with the Bobcat wrestling program. “I hope they realize that through hard work they can accomplish alot,” Cribbs said. “Sam Andrade went from a quick win for opponentsearly in his career to a district champion and regional finalist. CalebMcIntire suffered a broken collar bone then fought his way into beinga regional finalist. Isaiah Carpenter become our first male wrestlingathlete to make it to the state tournament. I hope they continue takingtheir hard work they put into wrestling and apply it to all of their futuregoals.” Carpenter plans to play football in college.

Pioneer of Vaccines, Dr. Margaret Pittman by Dr. Ken Bridges

The 20th century opened a door for innovation in science and tech-nology. Great minds steadily unlocked the mysteries of the world andmade life better for countless people. One of those great minds wasArkansas research scientist Dr. Margaret Pittman, a woman whoseresearch has helped save millions of lives. Pittman was born in Northwest Arkansas in 1901. Her father, Dr.James Pittman, was a respected physician and introduced her to theworld of science and the study of health. As a child, she and her brotherand sister would often assist their father in his medical practice thoughthat would not be permitted in any medical practice today. In 1919, her father died after an attack of appendicitis. However, hehad arranged for all of his children to attend Hendrix College. The fam-ily, however, still struggled as they completed their studies.Nevertheless, Pittman excelled and earned degrees in math and biologywhen she graduated in 1923. After graduation, she wanted to pursue acareer in science, but her immediate options were limited. In the mean-time, she went into education. She taught briefly at a local girl's school,and quickly rose to the position of principal. When the opportunity tostudy science at the graduate level came along, she jumped at thechance. She earned a masters degree in bacteriology, the scientific study ofbacteria, from the University of Chicago in 1926. Showing great prom-ise as a scientist, she won a fellowship to the prestigious RockefellerInstitute of Medical Research, earning credit for her doctorate whileworking with some of the nation’s top researchers on questions sur-rounding bacteria and disease. One question that captivated her research was the bacteriaHemophilus influenzae. The world suffered a terrifying outbreak of theflu in 1918 and 1919 that left 500,000 dead in the United States aloneand tens of millions more worldwide. Working with Dr. Rufus Cole,she was able to help confirm the microorganism responsible for the flu,publishing an important paper on the subject in 1928. She also discov-ered that there were several strains of the bacteria, some of whichcaused meningitis, discoveries that paved the way for a life-saving vac-cine years later. Pittman also studied bacterial pneumonia and earnedher doctorate by 1929. In 1936, she began work for the National Institutes of Health, con-tinuing her studies of microorganisms and disease. In 1943, she beganwork on a whooping cough vaccine. The disease, also known as per-tussis, infected thousands of children at the time and the most severecases could cause pneumonia, seizures, brain damage, and even death.Hundreds of children died from the disease each year. With her NIHcolleagues, Pittman developed a new technique to test the safety, viabil-ity, and potency of the vaccine. By the 1950s, deaths from whoopingcough all but disappeared. While at the NIH, she worked with colleagues on vaccines forcholera and typhus, two diseases which had caused millions of deathsaround the world. By the 1960s, her work led to the perfection of thecholera vaccine. Her work added important pieces to the scientific puzzles that hadfrustrated medicine for generations. While doctors and scientists hadsuspected that there were cures to these diseases, Pittman put the finish-ing touches on the vaccines for many ailments, to the point that wheremany of these diseases once left thousands dead in their wake are hardly

given a second thought by the general public in the twenty-first centu-ry.

Part II Dr. Margaret Pittman was one of the great scientific minds of thepast century. While she helped create vaccines for three diseases thatonce left millions dead in their wakes, the Arkansan accomplishedmuch more. She had risen steadily from her roots in Arkansas to becoming aschool teacher, principal, and eventually acclaimed research biologist.She started working at the National Institutes of Health in Washington,DC, in 1936, in what she later called “a golden opportunity.” At thetime, she was one of only a handful of women working as research sci-entists for the federal government. In addition to her work on vaccines, one of her most importantbreakthroughs emerged during World War II. Wounded soldiers oftenshowed signs of infections after blood plasma infusions, infections tiedto the infusions. Pittman inspected the storage and processing proce-dures used and quickly devised a new strategy with other NIH scien-tists. Soon, they established new tests and new lab standards to ensurethe safety of the plasma given to the wounded. Post-operative recoveryrates improved dramatically as a result. Pittman noted in a later inter-view that this led directly to test samples being taken at the time ofblood donation and modern tests for HIV or hepatitis contaminationfrom donated blood. By 1957, the NIH appointed Pittman to head the Laboratory ofBacterial Products, a position she would hold for the next 14 years.With this promotion, she became the first woman to head a national labin the United States. Pittman was in high demand at scientific conferences, and she trav-eled the world speaking about her research. In the 1960s, she was par-ticipating in studies of cholera outbreaks in Bangladesh and participat-ing in World Health Organization projects to stem the tide of infectiousdiseases in the poorest parts of the world. She also researched a salmo-nella vaccine. Throughout her career, Pittman made public health her primaryinterest. This devotion to science and public safety led to her colleagueselecting her as president of the Washington Academy of Science and theSociety of American Bacteriologists. In 1970, she was given theFederal Women’s Award by the US Department of the Interior. She retired in 1971 at the age of 70, respected around the world.However, still possessing an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, shewent back to the lab as a guest researcher for the NIH, conducting stud-ies and experiments without pay. She also continued to publish impor-tant articles in prestigious medical journals on different vaccines andresearch into different bacteria and diseases into the 1990s. In 1986, Pittman was given an honorary fellowship from theAmerican Academy of Pediatrics for her work on vaccines. Though shewas never a medical doctor, her breakthroughs in the lab made the prac-tice of medicine so much easier for modern physicians. By 1993, at theage of 92, she stepped away from the lab from the last time. The nextyear, the NIH established the Margaret Pittman Lectureship in herhonor. She died in Cheverley, Maryland, not far from Washington, DC, in1995, on her 94th birthday.
