Newspaper Page TextOctober 11, 2017 The Skanner Page 11 Bids & Classifi ed Advertising deadlines 12:00 Noon Monday Hours: Monday - Friday 8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Jobs cont’d from pg 12 based near New Orleans, said the storms tempo- rarily closed 66 stores in the Houston area and disrupted the company’s end-of-summer hiring. One store was so dam- aged it still hasn’t re- opened. In August and Septem- ber, the company typical- ly hires new employees to replace college work- ers who return to school. But that process was de- layed in Florida and Tex- as. “We weren’t able to do our normal hiring spree that we usually do going into the fall,” Harmon said. Interview cont’d from pg 7 there were good and bad Nazis? KF: I have a tweet pinned to my refriger- ator regarding leader- ship which I think can apply to many leaders which reads something like, “When do we stop looking for our leaders to change, rather than change leadership?” KW: I know you were born in New York. Do you have any memories of the city before your family moved to Los An- geles? KF: Yes. I grew up in Harlem, right across from St. Nicholas Park. The early part of my up- coming autobiography is devoted to my childhood in Harlem. And its sub- title is “From Harlem to Hollywood.” I still have an affi nity for Harlem and live there now. I moved back a decade or so ago. Harlem informs a great deal of who I am as a global citizen, as an art- ist and performer, and as a wannabe historian. The storms also dis- rupted the company’s ex- pansion plans. It opened 65 stores nationwide in the July-September quar- ter. It would have opened four more, but they were damaged while under construction. Each Smoothie King employs about 15 hourly workers and two to three managers. Nationwide, an alter- native barometer of the labor force that includes not only the unemployed but also part-time work- ers who’d prefer full- time jobs, fell to 8.3 per- cent. That’s the lowest such level in over a de- cade. Average hourly wages rose a healthy 2.9 per- cent from 12 months ear- lier. That trend was prob- KW: When you look in the mirror, what do you see? KF: It depends on when I look. Right now, I’m camera-ready, so I look fabulous! [laughter] KW: The Viola Davis question: What’s the big- gest diff erence between who you are at home as opposed to the person we see on the red carpet? KF: Probably that I have some version of a Spanx on. [Laughs some more] KW: If you could have one wish instantly grant- ed, what would that be for? KF: Social listening and peace. KW: The Uduak Oduok question: Who is your fa- vorite clothes designer? KF: I’m a fan of Massi- mo. Let me be clear, the Massimo line in Target. [Laughs] And I’m always at The Gap. I love their jeans. KW: Harriet Paku- la-Teweles asks: With so many classic fi lms being redone, is there a remake you’d like to star in? KF: Oh my goodness! Suddenly, Last Summer. KW: Ling-Ju Yen asks: What is your earliest childhood memory? KF: The black-and- white checkered tiles on the steps going up to my grandmother’s apart- ment on St. Nicholas Av- enue just before 145th Street, heading uptown. She was a dancer at the Savoy. She was part of Billy Eckstine’s night- club act. She was also one of Pearl Bailey’s dancers. There’s a rich history there. KW: Thanks again for the time, Kim, and I hope we can speak again when your autobiography comes out. KF: Sounds like a plan, Kam. Thanks! KW: What is your fa- vorite dish to cook? KF: Lasagna.

Higher-paid work- ers likely disproportion- ately boosted the wage fi gure. Still, the government on Friday revised wage gains in August — before the hurricanes hit — to a 2.7 percent annual rate, up from 2.5 percent. That suggests that pay could be picking up, even ex- cluding the storms, and encouraging more peo- ple to look for work. EDUCATION SITE MANAGER WASTEWATER OPERATIONS SPECIALIST Mt.
