Andrea Sachs is a travel reporter for the Washington Post. She's been all over the world, but it was a recent trip to South America that gave her a unique experience. “It combined my two great loves, which would be travel and animals,” Sachs says. “So, as travel writer and growing up travelling, that's what I love to do, and when I’m not traveling, I take care of other people's pets. Because I travel so much, I can't have my own.” Sachs flew all the way to Ecuador to watch a someone's dog, Fischer. She watched him for free, and in exchange, they let her stay at their home at no cost. “I thought, ‘You're really gonna let me travel anywhere in the world and take care of your animal?’”Sachs used a service called 732

PARADISE, Calif. – Parts of California are going dark and some people are taking it personally. “It’s like a slap in the face,” said Paradise, California, resident Jonathan Valdez. “It’s like we have to keep suffering over and over again.” Valdez stocked up on gas for his generators after Pacific Gas and Electric warned it could shut off power to almost 200,000 people across the state in an attempt to lower the risks of wildfires. “Gas went up so I’m kind of sweating it a little bit,” Valdez said. “It’s another extra dollar for each can and we have to do this every day.” Several businesses say the power shutdowns have hurt their sales. “People can’t work, people can’t pay their bills,” said a worker at the local gas station. “And people up here in California, we live paycheck to paycheck.” The employee says the gas station lost products without electricity. She added many feel in the Northern California community that they’re being targeted by the power company. “A lot of people think they’re doing it to get back at the people of Paradise,” she said. Getting back because several people are now suing PG&E after investigations found their equipment started the Camp Fire – the most expensive and deadly wildfire in California history. Paul Moreno of PG&E says these planned power outages aren’t happening out of revenge – they are happening to keep cities and citizens safe. “No. No. There’s nothing like that. This is being done for public safety,” Moreno said. “Last time we did a public safety power shutoff, we found 100 cases of damage caused by high winds to our powerlines any number of those could have started a fire. With the high winds it could have been catastrophic.” These potentially catastrophic conditions have first responders on high alert. “It’s really flammable and fire is really dynamic,” said Rick Carhart of Cal Fire Butte County. Carhart says Cal Fire has increased staffing after issuing a Red Flag Warning – adding people need to take safety into their own hands. "You need to have 10 feet of an area around the generator down to bare dirt," he said. Having a plan in place, just like the local schools. After closing classes for three days during another power shutoff, Paradise Junior and High Schools aren’t taking any chances this time. Staff will use lanterns to light classes and plan on running generators to access the internet. “That may sound strange, but we ran a school out of a hardware store last year,” said Larry Johnson, Principal at Paradise Junior & Senior High School. “So, a couple of lanterns, you know, we got this.” Town officials, however, aren’t as optimistic. “There’s not a lot we can do about it,” said Paradise Mayor Jody Jones. “We don’t even have generators that the town has.” Jones isn’t pleased with PG&E. And after seeing much of her city go up in flames, she’s now calling them out – saying PG&E should have spent more money on maintenance. “I think there’s a lot of evidence that they haven’t been doing the maintenance that they need to do doing,” she said. “I wish that they would have invested in their system.” When the power did go out in Paradise, some had their own systems in place. Nicki Jones of Nic’s Food, Beer and Wine bought a generator to keep her business up and running. Saying it’s an investment for both her and her customers. “We’re able to serve the community,” she said. “We open up at 7 a.m. We serve coffee and we have a gathering place for the community.” Those looking to travel out of this community, however, may have a hard time. “Everything else is closed,” a local man said. “So, I’m going to have to get gas in Chico.” Back at the local gas station, people found the doors chained up and pumps shutdown. “It’s a big inconvenience going down to Chico,” the man said. “Everything in Magalia is closed and everything in Paradise is closed.” But despite the hardships, people are staying positive during these planned power shutoffs and seeing light in this time of darkness.“We’re Paradise strong,” Jody Jones said. “We’re pioneers. We can do it.” 4113

DENVER, Colo. -- Nobody prepares to be sexually assaulted. Irene Wilke never thought about it. Not for herself and not for her daughter. “It’s very difficult, knowing that harm has come to your child,” said Wilke. Over the summer, Wilke experienced a worst-case scenario for a parent. Her adult daughter was sexually assaulted, twice. “To have to hold your child’s hand as she recounts the events to the police and to the hospital,” said Wilke. Anyone who’s familiar with a rape examination knows it’s not pleasant. “The exam itself, it’s invasive, I mean, I’m looking all over at their entire body, but I don’t feel like it’s a bad experience. We want to empower our patients,” said Michelle Metz who runs the sexual assault examination unit for Denver Health. And most of the time in those cases, police have to take those victims’ clothes as evidence. “So, if a patient’s wearing the same clothing from the incident, we, law enforcement, likes to collect that clothing because it’s potentially a good space to get evidence from. But when we collect that clothing, so they don’t get that to go home with,” said Metz. “The hospital and the police are left trying to figure out how to come up with replacement clothing for them,” said Wilke. That’s what happened to Wilke’s daughter. The police took her clothes, so Wilke had to send her boyfriend out to get her daughter new clothes. “You’ve just listened to her recount this story, this horrific story, and they, they actually take her into another room, and do the SANE exam, commonly known as a rape kit, and it’s during that process that they took her clothes. And to have the nurse tell you, she’s going to need something when she comes out,” said Wilke. Now Wilke is doing something about the clothing problem. A few weeks ago, she started her organization, AFTER. She collects women's clothes to donate to hospitals, so they have something to wear home after these exams. “Just imagine yourself, if it were you, what would you want to start your first steps after,” said Wilke. Recently, she dropped off a donation box at one of her favorite breakfast spots. But, there was already clothes waiting for her. “I never thought of that gap between the system where they just need that immediate help, that, right now I need clothes immediately, I just think it’s fantastic what she’s doing,” said Jill Hope, manager at Sunrise Sunset. “And we picked up a carload of donations, from the employees here... my heart is touched, hearts touched,” said Willke. Wilke isn’t the only one trying to solve this problem. “The main output that we do is produce Fear2Freedom Aftercare and Icare kits which are then given to survivors of sexual assault,” said Tricia Russell, the executive director of Fear2Freedom. The organization was founded by a rape survivor in Virginia, who went on to accompany college students who’d been raped, who would show up at hospitals in the area. “And she realized that the students were having to leave in hospital gowns and scrubs. Just things that she thought were no appropriate for them to have to be leaving in. You’ve already been traumatized and humiliated and now you’re just adding to that,” said Russell. "You don't want to stand out, after you leave, and if you walk out of here in paper scrubs or a gown, you definitely would stand out," said Metz. So she started collecting clothes to give to the hospitals. “It’s t-shirts, underwear, sweatpants, it has toiletries so they can take a shower, so they can brush their teeth, brush their hair, and then it has some therapy items in the kits as well,” said Russel. According to Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), an American is sexually assaulted every 73 seconds. That’s more than 1,100 people every day. Michelle’s unit at Denver Health saw more than 400 victims last year. “We’ve already seen 40 patients this month.” For Wilke, the assaults robbed her of something most moms love to do with their daughters. “How do you go shopping? Shopping for your daughter’s clothes is something that’s supposed to be fun, you know? You go to lunch, you go shopping. Not I got to go find some clothes because your child's clothes are taken into evidence.” But she’s not going to let that be the end of her story. Wilke will take her carload of clothes and try and make sure that the next person to go to the hospital after being assaulted will have something clean and comfortable to go home in. “Something fresh, something new, something that they can start their life after in fresh clean clothes.” 4574

Pedro Rios says the idea that immigrants are coming to this country solely to be a burden to the United States is absolutely false. Rios is the Executive Director of American Friends Service Committee – a national organization that has worked on immigration and border issues for 42 years. He says he is against a new rule that disqualifies immigrants from a green card if they use certain government benefits, because he says it's causing people to drop out of benefit services they do qualify for. “In this case, prenatal care is not a targeted benefit. However, someone might decide to stop receiving that care simply because they fear that it would place them at the crosshairs of some sort of immigration enforcement operation,” Rios said. Dulce Garcia, an immigration attorney and DACA recipient, agrees with Rios. She says the rule has a two-fold impact: it denies more people the ability to qualify as a legal permanent resident, and now people are afraid of accessing other public benefits. She knows from personal experience when her family had to live inside a car and with very little food. “We’re going to see more people like my parents who were afraid of accessing public benefits and decided to risk our health essentially by remaining unsheltered and by struggling with food,” Garcia said. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a food program that's among those included in the rule. If immigrants collect those benefits more than 12 months in three years, they can't get a green card - and become a permanent resident. “We all fall on hard times. My family fell on hard times, and I wish that we would have had people telling us ‘it’s OK, it’s OK to receive help’ so that we would be safe.” As the executive director of Border Angels, a nonprofit that advocates for the immigrant community, Garcia says she tries to empower immigrants with accurate information so they know what benefits they’re still eligible for. However, there are people in favor of the rule, like Agnes Gibboney, who was born in Hungary. Her family entered the U.S. in 1970. “When we immigrated to the U.S., my parents had to sign a document stating they would not apply for any public assistance. That my father could support my mother, my brother and myself,” Gibboney said. Gibboney says she doesn't like the idea of immigrants using taxpayer dollars for services. “The importance of being fully vetted is for the government to know who is coming into this country. To make sure you are of good moral standing, to make sure you’re going to be a good citizen, and make sure that you’re gonna be a plus to this country,” Gibboney said. When it announced the new rule, the Department of Homeland Security called self-sufficiency a core American value. On the other hand, Rios says public benefits might be necessary in order for some immigrants to eventually become self-sufficient.“What we’ve seen in the past is when their needs aren’t being met, then it’s harder for them to support themselves in other ways,” Rios said.  3052
