TULSA, Okla. — Several Tulsans are outraged after Spanish-speaking families were turned away during a holiday toy registration at Loaves and Fishes ministry."My children are Hispanic. We speak predominantly Spanish at home, so for someone to be turned away for their language it really offended me," said Megan Aviles, who witnessed the incident. It was Tuesday when Aviles stood in line with her two daughters waiting to register for the ministry's annual toy giveaway. She noticed several Hispanic women in front were being denied access to the registration because they didn't speak English."I went forward to try and assist and was like 'look, I can translate for these women. I'm bilingual,' " said Aviles.However, the pastor and executive director of the organization admitted he didn't allow her or anyone else to translate for the families."The reason I didn't use one of our guests or a family member or even a child is my experience with interpreters is they don't necessarily interpret what I say," said pastor Al Poncel.He said he would feel more comfortable having interpreters he knows, so nothing is lost in translation. Poncel said this is the first time that he has ran into a language issue at the ministry after years of being with the organization, but still he felt he made a mistake by turning away the families just because he didn't have the staff to help with the high demand."I didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings. I didn't want to offend anybody. I want to help as many people as I can," said Poncel.He said he is looking at ways to improve and be more inclusive of the needs of the community, so he is already looking at partnering with other local ministries and organizations to help interpret in the future."The 18 and 19 is going to be big days of our Christmas outreach. I'm going to make sure I have an interpreter here to be able to properly interpret, have the proper forms because I'm required by the food bank of USDA to fill out specific form," said Poncel.Loaves and Fishes' mission is to "alleviate suffering of impoverished families by offering charitable assistance."They have served about 20,000 families since January, according to Poncel. 2230

Tuesday’s virtual Democratic National Convention included the official nomination of Joe Biden for president, and a pitch from Biden's wife Dr. Jill Biden and two former Democratic presidents.Tuesday’s theme was "The Leaders We Are," and in addition to the former presidents speaking in favor of a Biden presidency, Democrats tried to once again portray Biden as a bipartisan leader.Colin Powell endorses BidenColin Powell, who served in several Republican administrations, most recently as George W. Bush’s secretary of state, delivered a full-throated endorsement of Biden on Tuesday. Despite his GOP ties, Powell has previously endorsed Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.On Tuesday, he made the case that Biden is prepared to lead the US military.“Our country needs a commander in chief who takes care of our troops in the same way he would his own family,” Powell said. “For Joe Biden, he doesn't need teaching. It comes from the experience he shares with millions of military families, sending his beloved son off to war and praying to God he would come home safe. Joe Biden will be a president that we will all be proud to salute with Joe Biden in the White House.”While not mentioning President Donald Trump by name, Powell said that the president has divided the US.“What a difference it will make to have a president who unites us, who restores our strength and our soul,” Powell said.Meanwhile, the president’s campaign slammed Powell and Biden on Twitter for green lighting the war in Iraq.It was no mistake following Powell’s statement was a video highlighting the relationship between Biden and Republican Sen. John McCain, who died in 2018 from brain cancer. McCain’s wife Cindy participated in a video montage of the Biden-McCain friendship.Former President Bill Clinton slams Trump’s COVID-19 responseFormer President Bill Clinton, who has been a speaker at every Democratic National Convention for the last four decades, decried Trump’s response to the coronavirus. During his remarks, Clinton said that Trump has denied responsibility for the effects COVID-19 have caused in America.“At first he said the virus was under control and would soon disappear,” Clinton said. “When it didn't, he was on TV every day bragging on what a great job he was doing, while scientists waited to give us vital information. When he didn't like the expert advice he was given, he ignored it.“Only when COVID exploded in even more states did he encourage people to wear masks. By then many more were dying. When asked about the surge in deaths, he shrugged and said, It is what it is.' But did it have to be this way? No.”On Tuesday, the United States’ death toll from coronavirus-related illnesses surpassed 171,000.Jill Biden speaks from former classroomJill Biden spoke live from Brandywine High School in Wilmington, Delaware, where she was an English teacher from 1991 to 1993.The former second lady and wife of the Democratic nominee made a personal pitch, vouching for Biden’s character.She spoke on the tragedies her husband has faced in life, losing his previous wife and infant daughter in 1972, followed by the death of his son from brain cancer in 2015.“How do you make a broken family whole? The same way you make a nation whole: with love and understanding, and with small acts of kindness,” Dr. Biden said. “With bravery and unwavering faith.""We're seeing that our differences are precious and our similarities infinite. We have shown that the heart of this nation still beats with kindness and courage. That's the soul of America Joe Biden is fighting for now,” she added. 3605

TULSA, Okla. — An Oklahoma woman has faced terrifying health scares over the last year from a tick bite. Nancy Phelps' tongue and face have swollen up many times. She has also spent countless hours in the hospital because she could not breathe. She learned it is all because she was bit by a Lonestar Tick while she was playing with her grandkids in her yard in the spring of 2017."They fall off trees," Phelps said. "They're out in the grass." She started seeing symptoms lke rashes and having stomach problems early on. Phelps thought it was random.Then in the fall, she started going into anaphylactic shock, meaning she could not breathe because of an allergic reaction. "Within about a week time, I was in the emergency room with anaphylaxis eight different times," Phelps said. Several doctors later, Phelps learned that tick bite gave her the Alpha Gal Allergy. It causes an allergic reaction to all mammal-based products."They could feed on an infected animal, get a parasite that then when they feed on a human that human could be infected," said Luisa Krug, the epidemiology supervisor for the Tulsa County Health Department. The CDC said this week that diseases caused by infected ticks, fleas and mosquitoes have tripled in the last 13 years. More than 640,000 cases have been reported. When Phelps consumes mammal bi-products or is around them, she has a severe allergic reaction. Her face and tongue start swelling up. She said she has to inject herself with an Epi-Pen once every one to two weeks. "Anything boxed, in cans, anything you would typically buy off the shelf," Phelps listed what she cannot eat. "Pizza...I didn't realize I liked pizza so much, but those kinds of things are non-existent anymore."Her allergy is so bad that she even has to worry about cross-contamination. Phelp said she bought all new pots for her home. Eating out is nearly impossible now. She has to show restaurants a document she keeps on her phone that lists what she can and cannot consume. Phelps can no longer take gel cap pills, because they are made with animal bi-products. Make up, toiletries, laundry and dishwashing soaps and certain clothing are also a problem.Phelps wants others to take note of her story and take serious precautions. "It's avoidance and being aware of our surroundings," Phelps said.The health department suggests wearing long sleeves and pants outside to avoid being bitten by bugs. They also suggest using a bug spray with deet in it.  2570
