Katelynn Hudson started working at a fast-casual restaurant when she was 18 years old. It was her income as she tried to get herself through school, but minimum wage was not enough for her daily needs.“I was not able to afford food for myself," she says. "I could not pay my rent, I couldn’t pay bus fare. It was very difficult, and if I couldn’t provide for myself. I wouldn’t be able to provide for a family."Hudson now has a 2-and-a-half-year-old son, and she says she wouldn’t be able to support him if it wasn’t for a recent change in her pay. Illegal Pete’s in Denver, Colorado has raised its minimum wage from to within the past three and a half years, transforming that minimum wage into a living wage.“It covers lodging, food, paid time off, education, savings, basically the ability to pay one job and plan for the future,” Illegal Pete’s owner Pete Turner said.However, it doesn’t come without a cost. “The biggest challenge is an immediate hit to your expense line, to your payroll line,” Turner said.Turner says the last time he raised employee pay it cost him about million. However, he sees it as an investment. The idea is to create a productive work environment, where people are more committed to the customer and the company. Pete says he’s saving money by not having excessive employee turnover.“The rule of thumb for losing a front-line worker and then having to rehire and retrain is like ,500 to ,500 an employee,” he says.Growing in store count and store volume with workers who stay, Turner says his decision to raise minimum wage has been worth it so far. But he does admit it hasn’t been easy. And for some small business owners, the idea while appealing, seems unrealistic.“Everyone, I think, can agree that the minimum wage [needs] to be higher," says business owner Erika Righter. "However, in order for that to work, people need to then prioritize shopping locally."Righter is the founder of Hope Tank in Denver. Everything the store sells is connected to a local grassroots organization, giving Righter a lot of experience with small businesses.She says she would love to pay her workers more, but she thinks there’s a disconnect between the priorities of community and the way people spend their dollars.“I think you can’t shop Amazon all the time, and want the minimum wage raised,” she says.According to Righter, many local businesses pay their employees before themselves. She says there simply isn’t enough profit to pay them more, making an increase in minimum wage a bit of a concern.“As the owner, I struggle to stay above water financially myself,” Righter says.Robel Worku works for Colorado People’s Alliance, an organization that fights for justice in economic issues.“I think the argument is that if those costs go up, it’s harder to keep their doors open,” Worku said.Worku says COPA was recently able to help get a Colorado bill passed that gives authority to local governments to increase minimum wages.“The federal minimum wage has stayed stagnant at around .25 for the past 10 or so years, and even beyond that hasn’t raised much within the past few decades,” Worku said.Numbers from the U.S. Department of Labor show there was a steady increase in minimum wage from 2007 to 2009, raising it by a .40, but there hasn’t been a raise since. And before that, the last raise was 10 years prior in 1997. Worku says his organization believes everyone should be afforded the right to earn a livable wage, which is around per hour in Denver, Colorado. However, he understands that number changes from city to city, making it difficult to assess a specific amount for the federal minimum wage.“I don’t know if there’s like a gold-standard number in mind, but one of the reasons we’re excited about the local wage option legislation is that it allows local governments to make those decisions for themselves,” Worku said.So far, Worku says places that have raised minimum wage like Seattle and Chicago have seen an economic boost in the local economy. “So for instance, if you run a restaurant or a bar, you rely on folks having a disposable income to be able to come spend,” he explained. For Hudson, having a disposable income is a new comfort in her life. She says she’s very happy she can provide for her son and that money isn’t a giant cause of stress anymore.“This is the first time in my life I have seen stability, and that’s really amazing for me to think of,” Hudson said. 4457

If you're traveling this holiday season, but just haven't had time to book your flights, travel experts say it's not too late.Travel expert Kelly Rizzo with Hotwire and Eat Travel Rock says the best time to book a holiday flight is about 21 days before the holiday. That means the first week of November is the sweet spot for Thanksgiving travel. "Always look for those middle of the week deals and coming back during the middle of the week too,” said Rizzo. “And also some of those late night flights are going to be more affordable than right in the afternoon."Shopping five days before is the most expensive. Usually during the holiday season, many travel with family. Kelly suggests taking Jet Blue. It has a lot of leg room for adults and has great snacks and free Wi-Fi for kids.Southwest is another family friendly airline. Right now, they are having a flash sale on flights for . They only apply to certain days of the week. So, if you are flexible, then take advantage because it ends midnight on October 17.If you haven't booked your flight for Christmas, you might want to wait.

It turns out losing a tooth is not as valuable as it once was. According to a survey released by Delta Dental on Thursday, the average payout from the Tooth Fairy decreased by 43 cents this year compared to last year. The average payout in the United States for a tooth left under the pillow for the Tooth Fairy is .70, according to the survey which was conducted in late December and early January. Two years ago, the average national payout was more than .50. The average payout by the Tooth Fairy also depends on the family region, and which tooth was lost. A child who loses their first tooth earned on average .96. Kids in the West earned the most money for losing a tooth, with the average payout being .19. It is a tough time for Midwestern children, as their average Tooth Fairy payout was just .97."While our Original Tooth Fairy Poll is rooted in fun, it is also interesting to see how parents are using visits from the Tooth Fairy as a learning tool in their home," said Jennifer Elliott, chief marketing officer for Delta Dental Plans Association. "Parents share that the Tooth Fairy is delivering so much more than a tangible gift for a lost tooth, such as teaching our next generation about proper oral health habits and personal financial responsibility in a memorable way."According to the Delta Dental survey, 56 percent of children claim they're excited by the Tooth Fairy; 30 percent go to bed early when they expect a visit from the Tooth Fairy; and 34 percent of parents believe the Tooth Fairy instills good oral habits.

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana — A new tool is emerging to battle the scour of overdose deaths that lead directly to the powerful synthetic drug, fentanyl.Drug users can now test to see whether the drug they are about to inject is in fact fentanyl.Lena Severance, 35, was battling a heroin addiction. She told her mother she could tell, if the illicit drugs she was taking, was fentanyl — by it's color. She was wrong.Dead wrong. That was April 28, 2018. Her death certificate provided the evidence that five different types of fentanyl was laced into the heroin she used.Lena's mother, Sherry McKay welcomes the availability of fentanyl test strips for users."If they can test it and see if that is in there or not, yeah, its gonna help. It's gonna give them the choice," McKay said. "Do I want to do this, and take the chance of dying? Or do I want to live and not do it?""It could save a lot of lives," she said.You can obtain Fentanyl strips through the Overdose Lifeline.A program that Justin Phillips founded in 2014, after her 20-year-old son Aaron, died from an opioid overdose."Individuals who do test their drugs are less likely to use the drugs. Or at the minimum, use less at that time would be considered harm reduction, at the least," said Phillips. "And don't use the same amount if you are gonna go ahead and use."A report from the Journal of the American Medical Association found that fentanyl was involved in nearly half of the opioid related deaths.The enormity of the problem drew this reaction from IUPUI professor Dr. Brad Ray who does research on substance abuse."The number one thing we need to focus on is medication assisted treatment" said Dr. Ray. "The number two thing is the distribution of nalaxone, and the number three thing is these drug testing devices."If you are interested in obtaining fentanyl testing strips, you can call Overdose Lifeline: 844-554-3354.The strips are free of charge. 1928

ocally because she says we don't know enough about health effects. Some studies claim 5G transmissions can contribute to a variety of health problems, and a number of cities are attempting to stop the towers and slow the rollout."As a registered nurse, I am very much about informed consent," Krinsky said, "which is the right to choose, the right to decline." But she says community residents were never given an option when it came to the towers.How do you know if 5G is coming?Here's telltale sign your community is about get 5G towers: You'll see white PVC tubes, typically with an orange cap, popping out of the ground. These pipes contain fiber lines that then connect all the 5G towers as they have to be connected with fiber line to reach their promised high speeds.The 5G towers that follow are much smaller than typical cell towers.Verizon corporate spokesman David Weissmann confirms that the small black tubular towers are new, small cellular Verizon towers, installed to "ease network congestion" and help with video streaming in areas with weaker service. He says they currently broadcast 4G LTE but can be converted to 5G in the future, whenever 5G service arrives. The Federal Communications Commission and Federal Aviation Administration say there are no proven links between 5G cell service and health effects and local residents have no reason to fear these new towers.As always, don't waste your money.__________________________Don't Waste Your Money" is a registered trademark of Scripps Media, Inc.
