It's hard to move cookies when the CDC advises against getting close enough to sell them in person.Christopher "CT" Todd, who leads his daughter's Girl Scout troop and helps run the Sugar n' Spice diner, is feeling the pinch on both ends. The diner is operating with a skeleton crew; the cookies are piling up, uneaten, in scouts' garages and spare rooms."Several troops, really, across the nation are stuck with an excess inventory of cookies that they were going to sell in front of Walmart and Kroger," he said. It's not enough for the girls to eat them themselves. Troops depend on cookie sales to fund activities for the coming year.So Todd and business partner Adam Mayerson came up with a way to help local restaurants and scouts like Lucy at the same time — pair them up.Their initiative is called Business Bosses Supporting Cookie Bosses. It encourages businesses to invest in 0 of Girl Scout cookies and find a creative use for them, whether it's incorporating them into a restaurant recipe, using them as thank-you gifts for customers or donating to a community partner such as a hospital.At Sugar n' Spice, Mayerson and Todd are including a box of cookies in every carry-out order.They're both scared about the future, Mayerson admitted. But they're doing their best to find creative solutions to each day's problems and stay optimistic."That's what we try to stay focused on, being as hopeful as possible," he said. "Every day seems to be bringing new information, different challenges, and we just hope that things get better for anybody and everybody."Even if you live outside of Ohio, you can still help donate to Business Bosses Supporting Cookie Bosses. 1677

as part of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's ongoing investigation into clergy abuse within the Catholic Church.Father Joseph "Jack" Baker was arrested Monday morning in Wayne County. He was charged with one count of criminal sexual conduct first degree — sexual penetration with a person younger than 13.According to a release, Baker has been a pastor at St. Perpetua Parish in Waterford, Michigan, since 2008. Prior to that, Baker was a pastor at St. Mary Parish in Wayne, associate pastor at Sacred Heart Parish in Dearborn and associate pastor at St. Hugo of the HIlls Parish in Bloomfield Hills.The Archdiocese of Detroit reported a tip to the lead prosecutor on the investigation, resulting in the charge.“This is just the tip of the iceberg,” Nessel said. “Our clergy abuse investigative team is working day and night to review the hundreds of thousands of pages of documents and files seized from all seven of Michigan’s dioceses last fall. At the same time, we continue to receive calls daily from victims who know we will listen to them, believe in them and investigate their allegations. They deserve nothing less than our very best.”Baker’s arrest follows Nessel’s May 24 announcement that five former priests had been charged with 21 counts of criminal sexual conduct. The men, who were all priests when the reported crimes were committed, are:? Timothy Michael Crowley, charged in Washtenaw County with four felony counts of CSC 1 and four felony counts of CSC 2.

Casey is also out on bond.? Jacob Vellian, charged with two counts of Rape. The AG’s office is pursuing extradition of Vellian, who lives in India.This story was originally published on 2385

With polling suggesting that President Donald Trump is losing the support of suburban voters, he made a strong play on Wednesday to try to capture the suburban vote.In a tweet sent on Wednesday, he backed a previously announced order to rescind an Obama-era rule that was meant to reduce bias in public housing access. Trump argues that public housing in suburbs drives up crime and lowers property values.The Obama administration rule was one intended to reinforce a Johnson-administration mandate of preventing bias in public housing access. The Obama administration intended to require public housing administrators to report barriers to obtain public housing.HUD will still have the ability to investigate organizations over fair housing practices, and can rescind funding.“I am happy to inform all of the people living their Suburban Lifestyle Dream that you will no longer be bothered or financially hurt by having low income housing built in your neighborhood,” Trump tweeted. “Your housing prices will go up based on the market, and crime will go down. I have rescinded the Obama-Biden AFFH Rule. Enjoy!”Advocates for public housing say that the Trump-administration order could hurt minority and disabled people.“People should not be shut out of the American Dream based on the color of their skin. However, decades of redlining have cemented this injustice, perpetuated a massive racial wealth gap between Black and white families, and sustained the continued distribution of resources and opportunity based on race,” said Nikitra Bailey, executive vice president at the Center for Responsible Lending. “The government helped create entrenched, pernicious residential segregation and has an obligation to undo it. By rejecting the Fair Housing Act’s mission to dismantle segregation and the inequity it created, this Administration is eschewing its responsibility and will be on the wrong side of history.”The National Low Income Housing Coalition said that despite Trump’s claims, introducing low-income residents into communities can “generate positive returns for taxpayers.” The group cited a Harvard study in making the claim. “The results of this study demonstrate that offering low-income families housing vouchers and assistance in moving to lower-poverty neighborhoods has substantial benefits for the families themselves and for taxpayers,” the study's authors wrote. “It appears important to target such housing vouchers to families with young children—perhaps even at birth—to maximize the benefits. Our results provide less support for policies that seek to improve the economic outcomes of adults through residential relocation. More broadly, our findings suggest that efforts to integrate disadvantaged families into mixed-income communities are likely to reduce the persistence of poverty across generations.”Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson, who said he lived in public housing growing up, said that the rule of forcing public housing providers to have documentation that of following fair housing rules was a burden.“After reviewing thousands of comments on the proposed changes to the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) regulation, we found it to be unworkable and ultimately a waste of time for localities to comply with, too often resulting in funds being steered away from communities that need them most,” said Secretary Carson. “Instead, the Trump Administration has established programs like Opportunity Zones that are driving billions of dollars of capital into underserved communities where affordable housing exists, but opportunity does not. Programs like this shift the burden away from communities so they are not forced to comply with complicated regulations that require hundreds of pages of reporting and instead allow communities to focus more of their time working with Opportunity Zone partners to revitalize their communities so upward mobility, improved housing, and home ownership is within reach for more people.“Washington has no business dictating what is best to meet your local community’s unique needs.”But advocates say the federal government can play a key role in ensuring access to public housing.“Decades of experience show us that strong HUD requirements, guidance and oversight are absolutely essential to rooting out the structural racism in housing,” said Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. “Without critical civil rights protections like the 2015 Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule, a devastating race to the bottom that will harm Black communities is the inevitable result. Once again, the Trump administration is undertaking action intended to drag America back into the Jim Crow era of racial segregation.” 4790

in order to pad his pockets.Dr. Yasser Awaad allegedly forced children to endure grueling medical tests — including sleep deprivation — multiple times, though the children never needed them.Mariah Martinez was just nine years old when she said she was referred to Awaad for headaches. At the time, Awaad worked for Oakwood Healthcare, which is now owned by Beaumont Health.Martinez says Awaad wanted her to undergo an electroencephalogram or EEG, and then told her she had epilepsy. Martinez says she was confused because she'd never had a seizure."I didn't know what epilepsy was at that point," she said.Martinez said the diagnosis scared her."Being told you're abnormal, or the tests are abnormal, means I'm not like everyone else, and at that age, you just want to fit in," Martinez said.She said the anti-seizure medication not only made her drowsy – it made her headaches worse."I kind of withdrew into myself, didn't want to be around people," she said.It wasn't until Awaad suddenly left his practice four years later and Martinez saw a new doctor that she found out she never had epilepsy."I lost, I feel like a piece of my childhood. All the time, I could have been learning to do things, playing with the other kids, I could have friends, I could have joined a sport – you never know," Martinez said.Martinez was not alone."I think it's despicable and deplorable that he would do this to any innocent child, let alone several hundred," medical malpractice lawyer Brian McKeen said. McKeen and a team of attorneys are suing Awaad and the hospital."When you look at all the evidence in this case. The conclusion is inescapable. That this was done intentionally," he said.McKeen alleges Awaad ran an EEG mill: the more tests he ran on the kids, the more money he made. At a 2018 deposition, McKeen claimed Awaad made "hundreds of thousands" of dollars for running the tests; money Awaad later said he was "entitled to."McKeen says one of Awaad's pediatric neurology colleagues even blew the whistle on him to Oakwood administrators back in 2003."She told them he's doing unnecessary EEGs, he's diagnosing kids with epilepsy that don't have it, and he's giving kids unnecessary drugs, and they did not do anything about it. They swept it under the rug," McKeen said.McKeen says Awaad also falsely diagnosed Martinez's sister with epilepsy, and in a different family, he's accused of misdiagnosing four out of five siblings.Hundreds of medical licensing records show that since 2010, the state has been accusing Awaad of violating the public health code for wrongly diagnosing kids with epilepsy. The state complaints use words like "negligence" and "incompetence" to describe Awaad, yet he still held on to his medical license.In 2012, he was put on probation and forced to pay a ,000 fine."That wasn't enough. They should suspend his license. He should never be allowed the opportunity to practice medicine and violate the trust of any other patient," McKeen said.In June, a jury awarded Mariah Martinez million for her case against Awaad. The second lawsuit of the 267 pending against Awaad is currently underway in Wayne County Circuit Court."I don't know if I'll ever be 100 percent," Martinez said.Beaumont Health and its lawyers chose not to comment, citing pending litigation and patient privacy laws. A spokesman also said that they have not had a relationship with Awaad since 2017.Beaumont spokesman Mark Geary declined to provide someone to talk on camera, but released the following statement:"The litigation involving Dr. Yasser Awaad and Oakwood Healthcare dates back more than a decade to 2007. We cannot comment about the specifics of this case or others because of pending legal proceedings and patient privacy laws. After his employment with Oakwood Healthcare, Dr. Awaad was briefly employed by Beaumont to provide medical education and clinical curriculum for residents and medical students in pediatric neurology. He completed this work in 2017 and has not had any relationship with Beaumont since that time."Meanwhile, the Michigan Attorney General's Office has filed another administrative complaint against Awaad's license. The hearing was supposed to be held next week, but Awaad's lawyers asked for it to be delayed. It's now scheduled in March.This story was originally published by Heather Catallo on 4344

You could call them a saving grace. One type of business was deemed essential at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic that helped families living paycheck to paycheck – pawnshops."This is actually our history," Andrew Charbonneau said as he showed off an Edison cylinder phonograph at his shop, Palm Beach Pawn King in North Palm Beach, Florida. Typically searching for precious antiques, Charbonneau said this year, treasure hunting took a backseat in the pawnshop industry."I think we're all in a situation we're not used to, so everybody is doing what we call [to survive]," said Charbonneau, who also owns two other pawnshops, American Gun and Pawn in West Palm Beach and Andrew's Coin and Jewelry in Delray Beach.Across his three shops, Charbonneau saw firsthand what the lockdown in March did to local families."We had a lot of nervous individuals that have never pawned before in their life, and they were in a situation where they had nowhere to go, no other avenues to obtain cash," he said.Some bank branches were temporarily closed, hours reduced in others, but those in the pawning business were open."The essential aspect of what we do was very important for the community because the bank will not lend you on your cellphone, won't lend you on your computer," said Charbonneau.The COVID-19 pandemic put thousands of people in Palm Beach County out of work.According to statistics from the state Department of Economic Opportunity, the city hit hardest was Boynton Beach. In just 30 days, the unemployment rate increased from 4.7 in March to 17.5 in April."They would come in and say, 'I lost my job because of the pandemic,'" said Bobby Gloyd, an employee at G & C Pawn Shop in Boynton Beach.Unemployment rates from the state show Delray Beach had the second-highest increase in unemployment within Palm Beach County, going from 4.2 unemployment rate in March to 15.4 in April. Riviera Beach was the third, jumping from a 5.5 unemployment rate in March to 15.1 the next month.Gloyd said that people pawn the items that hold the most value to pay their mortgages and rent."Gold is always good. It's easier to sell and also has a lot of value," said Gloyd."Family heirlooms, anything jewelry related that has emotionally passed down value, meaning sentimental value. We did see a lot of that. It wasn't so much about selling. They were still nervous about losing it because they didn't know if they'd ever be able to pick it back up," said Charbonneau.When those stimulus and unemployment checks did start coming through, pawnshops say business shifted to sales. They were selling laptops, gaming systems, anything that could help people get through quarantine."Everybody was looking for laptops, I guess when the kids were being homeschooled," said Gloyd."PS4 was one of the big things. If I had 500 of them, [they] would have sold within a week, at the time period," added Charbonneau.Musical instruments, tools for home improvements were all among the hot commodities. And then there were items people couldn't find at retail stores."Bike sales were very, very high. I would say that was a 75%-plus increase. Work out equipment again; we're not used to selling that. It usually sits on the shelves, so there was a lot of increases in fields that I would never project in the future will be the same,” said Charbonneau.Most pawnshop owners said people not only came back for their pawned items when they got their stimulus checks, but they also bought more."iPad air: a lot of people were looking for that," said Charbonneau."The newest thing is like sneakers. ... They've been probably easier to sell than tools. It's nuts," added Gloyd.With 2020 coming to an end, pawnshop owners like Charbonneau, who have been in the business for 40 plus years, say they could have never predicted business trends this year. And, with a third wave of COVID-19 in motion, they don't expect to know what the holiday season will be like."There is no way anyone can predict how this Christmas season is going to unfold," said Charbonneau.This story was originally published by Michelle Quesada at WPTV. 4109
