Josh Snider hoped the government shutdown would mean fewer crowds at Big Bend National Park during his Christmas Eve hike, even if it meant no visitor services or staff patrolling the Texas countryside.Then, he fell and broke his leg about 1.5 miles into the trek. Suddenly, he needed help -- and people.Fortunately, although rescue services were limited due to the shutdown, other people were close by, he said. A family of four, another hiker and a park ranger carried Snider out of Santa Elena Canyon to safety."It turned out to be one of the most beautiful moments ever," Snider said. "It was great to see everyone come together to help get me out of the canyon."Unlike some previous government shutdowns, in which national parks closed entirely, gates have remained opened under the Trump administration, though parks are severely understaffed. CNN has reached out to Big Bend for comment on this incident.Big Bend, which covers 1,252 square miles in southwest Texas, including the Chisos Mountains and a large swath of the Chihuahuan Desert, is 1063

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana schools won’t have to place an “In God We Trust” sign in every classroom in the state, after some changes were made to a Senate proposal Wednesday.Sen. Dennis Kruse, R-Auburn introduced Senate Bill 131, which originally mandated each school place a poster or framed photo in every classroom and library that shows the following:The phrase, “In God We Trust”United States flagIndiana flagSB 131 was amended Wednesday afternoon to change the language in the bill and make it optional for the school corporations to put up the posters. It was also changed to state that if a school does put up such a poster, they must raise the funds on their own – instead of using public funds.If the bill sounds familiar, it’s because Kruse introduced a similar bill last year. Last year’s bill also called for every school including a study of the Bible as an elective course in its curriculum. The 2019 bill was vastly different at the end of the process than the one Kruse initially introduced.Sen. Mark Stoops, D-Bloomington, spoke against the bill in the last committee hearing, and did so again Wednesday."The Declaration of Independence noted that the power of the government is not from God, but from the people,” he said. “I think it's important to understand what the Founding Fathers believed when they had the clause that there must be a separation of church and state. This also protects religion from interference by government in their beliefs. I appreciate the time, and my vote is no."The phrase “In God We Trust” has been the national motto since 1956, but it’s been on most U.S. coins since the 1860s. In 1907, President Teddy Roosevelt famously did not like the phrase being on coins.The amended bill passed, 9-2, with Stoops and Sen. Eddie Melton, D-Gary, voting against it. It now heads to the full Senate.This article was written by Matt McKinney for 1893

Leavenworth Police Chief Pat Kitchens says an active-duty solider at Fort Leavenworth helped stop an active shooter Wednesday on the Centennial Bridge over the Missouri River.In a news conference, Kitchens said the incident started on the Kansas side of the bridge.That's when a 34-year-old soldier from nearby Ft. Leavenworth stepped in and "saved the day" by striking the suspect with his vehicle, according to Kitchens."He saved countless people," Kitchens said.Kitchens said the suspect, described as a Platte County, Missouri man, was armed with at least a handgun and a semi-automatic rifle and was firing seemingly at random at cars on the bridge after getting out of his car.The suspect was injured in the crash with the soldier and was taken to an area hospital with non life-threatening injuries.Another active-duty solider from Fort Leavenworth, was struck by the suspect's fire.That soldier's injuries were also not life-threatening.The soldier that stopped the shooter was not injured.Initially, police responded to the bridge around 11 a.m. on a possible road rage incident.The shooting incident was contained to the bridge and all parties have been detained.The Missouri Department of Transportation said the Centennial Bridge, which connects Leavenworth with Platte City, Missouri, has been closed for the investigation. 1348

In the nation’s capital, when it comes to immigration, much of the focus is often on the southern border and undocumented migrants. This month, though, it’s immigrants that have come to the U.S. legally who are about to face new challenges, as they try to become permanent residents or U.S. citizens.Public assistance, like Section 8 housing vouchers or food stamps, could play a big role in the fight over immigration.It is called the “public charge” rule and it is not new; it’s been on the books since the late 1800s. What is new, however, is what defines a public charge.Back in 1882, when immigrants arrived in the U.S., they had to prove they had cash and enough money to get where they were going, once they landed.Fast forward to 1996: that’s when the government decided other factors should be included as part of a green card application – like a person’s finances, health, age, education – and whether a sponsor, such as a family member who is a citizen or already has a green card, could financially vouch for you.Now, the rule will change again. Immigration officials will be able to deny a green card if they think some will “likely” end up needing public assistance, like welfare, food stamps or Medicaid.If that person needed such help in the past, it could count against them. That is placing greater scrutiny on the 400,000 people each year, who apply for to become permanent residents in the U.S.The Trump Administration argues the change is needed so that public assistance is safe-guarded for U.S citizens and residents who need it.“The benefit to taxpayers is a long-term benefit of seeking to ensure that our immigration system is bringing people to join us as American citizens, as legal permanent residents first, who can stand on their own two feet, who will not be reliant on the welfare system,” said Ken Cuccinelli, acting director of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, in making the announcement in August. Yet, some who work with the immigration system disagree. Aaron Hall is an immigration attorney in Denver.“Every change that’s happened over the last two years has been aimed at making the immigration process more burdensome, more difficult,” Hall said. Hall added that not only is the definition of a “public charge” changing, so is the green card application itself.“For the first time ever, they’re asking applicants to provide a credit score,” he said. “People who have not had immigration status prior or who have spent time living in a foreign country are not going to have a credit score. So, they have negative factor against them, even before they get started with their application.”The revised “public charge” rule is set to take effect on Oct. 15, but it is already being challenged by multiple states in court. A could injunction could delay it as the lawsuits make their way through the courts, a process that could potentially take years. 2922

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
