DETROIT — Brandon Zarb has a passion for food and culinary arts. He's a top chef who went from leading two of metro Detroit's busiest restaurants, Public House and Imperial, to the classroom. Zarb started working as a culinary paraprofessional educator at Rising Stars Academy in Center Line in July. He helps mentor students with intellectual disabilities."It was a spontaneous decision. It was kind of an emotional reaction to visiting the school and getting to meet Mark (Prentiss), the founder. It's just so rewarding," says Zarb.Students at the school are 18 to 26 years old. The goal is to have them gainfully employed within a couple of years. They learn valuable skills in many ways, from classrooms to a student-run restaurant, to sustainably growing greens and herbs with an aquaponics system. They also work in a full-service bake shop. Some of their products are sold in local businesses. The students are also taught workplace and life skills so they can better transition into the community after high school. Mark and Deb Prentiss founded the school six years ago. It started with 26 students and now has 125."We label everyone today in society, but we're all people," Mark Prentiss says. "We just need sometimes for people to believe in us. That's the true meaning of it, right?"Christopher Elle, 22, is a student at Rising Stars Academy. He says chef Mark Prentiss changed his life in many ways."He taught me how to be independent ... how to work in the kitchen, cook right, make good recipes," says Elle.The experience isn't just changing the students' lives, it's also making a difference for their parents and families. Janice Slattery's 19-year-old son Matthew is a student at Rising Stars Academy. He has autism and she says communication continues to be a struggle. However, even though her son just started at the school in August, she says he has changed."It's been amazing. He's shown more independence at home. He's doing tasks we didn't know he could do. His confidence level is increasing," the mother says. Twenty-seven Rising Stars Academy students are now employed. Zarb says being a part of this school's staff is incredibly rewarding."Society kind of in a sense turns their backs on these students ... to people with these types of disabilities," Zarb says. "They can be as productive members of society as you or me. They just need some extra help and training."Even though the school receives state aid, it relies heavily on donations. If you'd like to help or if you're a business looking to hire the students, you can visit the academy's website 2596

Doctors are reporting that people infected with the pandemic virus may lose their sense of smell and perhaps taste. The World Health Organization is looking into it, but some experts are already saying that changes in taste and smell might be a useful tool to screen people for infection. They cite reports from South Korea, China and Italy. Virus infection is already a known cause of smell loss, and in some cases it can be permanent. But in cases of the pandemic virus, it looks more like a temporary effect. 524

Clean-up efforts continue in the California desert after two earthquakes hit in less than two days.In Ridgecrest, a city about three hours east of Los Angeles, the Spirit gas station is out big bucks. The owner says the earthquakes cost him about a 0,000 in lost products and damages.As some look to rebuild, others are looking to relocate.“As soon as we get a trailer, we are driving out the door,” says Ridecrest resident George Berz. After the recent earthquakes, Berz and his family say living in Ridgecrest isn’t worth the risk. Now, they’re packing up and moving to Seattle. Before they go, however, they shared surveillance video capturing the terrifying moments when the tremors hit.“The ground is going up and down, left and right,” Berz says. “I was losing my footing as I was running.”It’s been days since the 6.4 and 7.1-magnitude earthquakes hit, and the city is still feeling the impact. Several city street lights are still out and people need help just getting the essentials. Cheri Watkins came to the American Red Cross Shelter for water. The California native has lived through many earthquakes and now says enough is enough. “The first one on the fourth didn’t scare me,” she says. “But now, I’m tired of the shaking.” For some, those aftershocks have created a sense of insecurity. After the earthquakes, Kristen Honeywell moved her family outside of her house and into these tents on the front yard. “I think it’s just a security in a way,” she says. 1488
