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

in Lake Erie on Tuesday.Authorities said the jet ski appeared to be anchored with two people fishing. No state registration number visible on the watercraft.When approached, the people on the jet ski told an Air and Marine Operations (AMOP) and a Border Patrols agent that they were from Mexico and did not have immigration documents.AMOP transported the two back to shore and handed them off to Border Patrol agents. Border Patrol then took the pair to the United States Border Patrol Sandusky Bay Station for further identification.“During the summer months Lake Erie is one of the busiest boating communities in the nation,” said Brian Manaher, Deputy Director Marine Operations, Great Lakes Air and Marine Branch. “This case is a testament to our highly skilled law enforcement ability to differentiate between legitimate boat traffic and nefarious traffic.”At the Border Patrol station, one of the people was identified as a valid DACA recipient and released to his jet ski.The other man was identified as an undocumented immigrant with a warrant of deportation issued on Oct. 2, 2012.The man and his property were turned over to ICE, where he will be held pending his removal.This story was originally published by Courtney Shaw on 1240

With the Food and Drug Administration expected to approve COVID-19 vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna in the coming days, it's possible that many Americans will begin to receive vaccinations within weeks.However, both the vaccines require two shots that need to be taken several weeks apart — and officials worry that some Americans may forget to get their second shot.That's why officials said Wednesday that they are including reminder cards in each ancillary COVID-19 vaccination kit.According to the Department of Defense, the person administering vaccines will hand out a paper card after injecting the first dose of the vaccine. The cards will include the day that the first dose had been administered and the day that the patient will need to return to receive their second dose.Operation Warp Speed officials also say vaccine administers will also encourage patients to take a photo of the card with their cell phone or set up a reminder alert so they can remember the date of their next appointment even if they lose the card.On Wednesday, Gen. Gus Perna — the chief operating officer of Operation Warp Speed — said that pharmacy chains like CVS and Walgreens might be able to set up notifications and appointments for a second shot for those who receive the vaccine.CNN also reports that some vaccination clinics may ask patients to provide a cell phone number to help remind them about the second shot. All clinics will need to report each vaccination to a state registry in order to track instances where a person receives a shot from two different clinics.Johnson & Johnson is in the process of developing a single-shot COVID-19 vaccine. While officials on Wednesday said the vaccine is on track to reach efficacy thresholds by the end of the month, it likely won't be available until later in 2021. 1825

With only five days left until early voting begins in California’s top-two primary for the state's 49th Congressional district, a new SurveyUSA poll shows who is leading the race for Darrell Issa’s seat.According to the data, 16 percent of those surveyed support Republican Rocky Chavez with 12 percent saying they support Democrat Doug Applegate.In a poll conducted by SurveyUSA two months ago, Applegate was in first place with 18 percent of people saying they supported the Democratic candidate and 17 percent saying they support Chavez.When asked “Which one of the following issues will be most important in determining how you vote in this election,” 25 percent of people surveyed said the job the President is doing.Meanwhile, when asked whether or not they approve of the job the President is doing, 49 percent say they disapprove while 46 percent say they approve.Those surveyed were also asked whether or not they approve or disapprove of the job Darrell Issa is doing. 46 percent said they disapprove while 42 percent say they approve.Data for the survey, which involved more than 500 adults, was conducted April 6 through April 10. 1170

her and fellow Rep. Ilhan Omar from visiting the country."Congresswoman Tlaib has sent tonight a letter to Minister Deri in which she committed to accept all the demands of Israel to respect the restrictions imposed on her in the visit, and she also promised not to advance boycotts against Israel during her visit," Interior Minister Aryeh Deri said Friday in a statement announcing his decision.The request from Tlaib of Michigan came a day after the country barred her and Omar, a freshman Democrat from Minnesota, from entering because of their support of a boycott against Israel. Israel's decision to bar their entry was encouraged by President Donald Trump in a remarkable step both by the US President and his ally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to punish political opponents.Tlaib had asked Deri for access so that she could visit her relatives, "and specifically my grandmother, who is in her 90s and lives in Beit Ur al-Fouqa. This could be my last opportunity to see her.""I will respect any restrictions and will not promote boycotts against Israel during my visit," Tlaib promised in the letter.The boycott movement, formally known as the Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, aims to end international support for Israel because of its policies toward Palestinians, as well as its continued construction of West Bank settlements, considered a violation of international law.Tlaib and Omar have been vocal critics of Israel and have supported the boycott movement, voting against a House resolution condemning the movement, which received broad bipartisan support.Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan, who leads Israel's fight against the boycott movement, tweeted Friday morning, "The request from Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib to visit her grandmother should be approved. Especially in light of her commitment to abide by Israeli law and not advance boycotts against us."Erdan is one of the members of the forum who met on Wednesday to discuss whether to allow Reps. Tlaib and Omar to enter the country.Ban came after Trump interventionThe announcement Thursday to prohibit the congresswomen from visiting Israel came shortly after Trump said Israel would be showing "great weakness" by letting them in.Trump has criticized the two lawmakers -- who are the first two Muslim women elected to Congress -- in harsh and sometimes racist terms. But his move to call for their ban in Israel reflects a new chapter in his grudge and a further erosion of presidential norms, which in the past sought to avoid instilling partisanship in foreign affairs.Trump's comments left Israel with little wiggle room, especially for Netanyahu, who has never publicly disagreed with Trump."The plan of the two Congresswomen is only to damage Israel and to foment against Israel," Netanyahu said in a statement following the decision.Omar responded to the decision Thursday slamming it as "an insult to democratic values.""It is an affront that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, under pressure from President Trump, would deny entry to representatives of the U.S. government," Omar said in a statement. "Trump's Muslim ban is what Israel is implementing, this time against two duly elected Members of Congress."Omar went on to say, "As a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, it is my job to conduct oversight of foreign aid from the United States of America and to legislate on human rights practices around the world. The irony of the 'only democracy' in the Middle East making such a decision is that it is both an insult to democratic values and a chilling response to a visit by government officials from an allied nation."Israel's decision to deny entry to the two freshmen congresswomen was a turnaround of a position taken last month when the country's Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer said the pair would be permitted to visit Israel and the Palestinian territories. 3915
