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.

Craig Brewer was at a Waffle House in Gainesville, Florida, at nearly 3 in the morning Sunday, not far from the University of Florida campus.He was in a generous mood, walking from table to table and picking up the tab for customers' late-night meals. He handed others a bill. It wasn't the first time he's paid for strangers' meals at Waffle House, his cousin, Deborah Jenkins, told CNN.Jenkins said that the father of two was raising people's spirits early that morning and someone even posted a Snapchat video of Brewer tipping the waiters.Meanwhile, the Waffle House was getting crowded with people coming by after the nearby bars closed. Things started getting unruly, Alachua County Sheriff's Office spokesman Brett Rhodenizer told CNN, and someone called 911 to have officers settle down the crowd.Then Brewer, 41, spoke to one woman about paying for her meal, and the conversation turned sour.Another of Brewer's cousins, Rasheeda Davis, was with Brewer at the Waffle House. Davis told CNN the woman arguing with Brewer "said she would spit in his face." Davis added, "It was all petty," noting that the situation didn't appear to be extreme.But a man, Ezekiel Hicks, was with the woman arguing with Brewer, according the police report. Hicks left the restaurant and came back with a 9mm Glock pistol concealed in his pants pocket, a witness told sheriff's deputies.The police report says a surveillance camera in the restaurant shows Hicks take the handgun from his pants, point it at Brewer's' head and fire multiple rounds.Hicks, 25, is being held at the Alachua County Jail on charges of first-degree murder and carrying an unlicensed firearm. His attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNN.'I wasn't expecting to hear of my cousin killing my cousin'Jenkins finds herself in an unusual predicament now.She said Brewer had given her money in the past when she was in a bind, and he often kept her and others "laughing" and "smiling.""He was always generous," she said.But she isn't just the victim's cousin, she's his alleged killer's cousin as well. Jenkins said she got a call around 3:45 that morning and rushed to the restaurant, where she saw "everybody was crying."There she learned more details of the night that has torn apart two different families of which she's a member."I wasn't expecting to hear of my cousin killing my cousin," she said.After shooting Brewer, Hicks walked out of the restaurant, according to the police report. Officers arrived to find Hicks in the Waffle House parking lot, Rhodenizer said. They reported that Hicks approached them and admitted he'd shot Brewer.Though Jenkins is linked to both men, she said she didn't think Hicks and Brewer knew each other."Ezekiel is my cousin as well. He's not a bad guy. He just made a terrible decision," she said. 2842

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Landing a job while living with a disability can be a struggle, but one business is embracing those job seekers. Avery Becker loves getting ready for his job, because it’s given him a new lease on life.“A lot of people just judge you and your outside appearance,” Becker said. “They don't really get to you or the person behind it."Becker has a severe auto immune disorder, which gets in the way of landing or even holding a job."I have lots of medical things,” he explained. “I have a disease called Churg Strauss. That is an auto immune disease that basically attacks all my major organs.”"If he has a fever, he has to go straight to the hospital,” explained Becker’s mom, Pam.While his mom worried companies won’t hire her son, one company, Brewability, welcomed him."We have people with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, blind and deaf,” said Brewability owner Tiffany Fixter.Besides being able to serve up a cold one, inclusion is most important, Fixter says.Last year, only 19.3 percent of people with a disability were employed, according to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics.“A lot of places that I have applied for said I can't work for them because I’d end up in the hospital or end up sick,” Becker said.Fixter takes on that responsibility to allow her staff to shine."We are all a part of the community--not one group should be put away and hidden," Fixter said.Despite her employee’s health being a determining factor on their ability to work certain days, Fixter has learned to make it all work."I try to pair someone who might have more medical needs with someone with less medical needs that way we can make sure we have someone here," she explained.Brewability offers their employees the chance to be a part of society in a way they never thought possible."It gives me a sense of purpose, and the fact that I get to work with disabled people like me, has made me feel less ashamed of it," Becker said.You can check out the Brewability Lab in Englewood, Colorado. 2017
