-- are helping neighborhoods recover from this month's tornado outbreak in Middle Tennessee.The hardest hit parts of north Nashville are blocked off by police except by those who really need to be there. But what's happening behind the barrier is amazing. Volunteers come in all shapes and sizes and they are making a real difference. Whether it is serving up burgers or hauling away the bag after hefty bag of debris. A group of students from Oak Hill School are all in on the clean up effort."We came out her to help the community," Hine McGuigan said. It's a sentiment echoed by his sister Mary. "When we are serving or giving clothes to people who don't have much it just makes us feel better because giving is better than receiving," said Mary. Reverend Curtis Bryant of Greater Heights Missionary Baptist Church is only too glad for the help. His neighborhood there at 14th Avenue North and Cockrill Street was hard hit by the tornadoes, and friends are hurting.Reverend Bryant turned his church into a supply depot and rest stop for volunteers and storm victims alike. "We're getting what we need: gasoline, hot dogs, hamburgers and more love," said Bryant. He said volunteers topped out at over one-thousand last week, but things have improved dramatically. Now the volunteer army is down to three-hundred, many of them youngsters."It's sad how much people in our community have lost. Like their homes and everything they own," fifth grader Patrick Pritchartt said.For the students, it's like a field trip into the real world, a chance to help and learn."They are getting a first hand knowledge of what it means to serve others," Reverend Bryant said. "They have started to reach beyond themselves and out to others and the power and the energy is just amazing."This story was originally published by Nick Beres at WTVF. 1830
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

after the accidental shooting death of her 4-year-old son.Kandice Cole dropped off her two kids at a family friend's house to babysit while she and her husband went to work.Shortly after, she said her 4-year-old son, Eric, found the babysitter's gun and accidentally shot himself. His 7-year-old sister found him."I am all for people protecting themselves, their homes and families. I get it. However, you have an obligation to be responsible and be intelligent and to make sure that you have them secured so the kids don't hurt themselves," Cole said.Cole only wishes now that she had inquired about guns in the home and whether they were properly secured and out of reach from her children."I would rather be uncomfortable during a five-minute conversation than have to wake up every day knowing that I'm supposed to have two kids and I have one," Cole said. "I'm supposed to have a brother and sister who are growing together. Instead I have a sister who lays on her bed and cries holding a picture of her and her brother.""Be Smart" with Mom's Demand Action for Gun Sense in America seeks to educate people about the importance of storing your guns unloaded and away from children."We know for example that 90% of unintentional shootings take place within a home setting," Jane Hedeen of "Be Smart" said. "And this is particularly important in the holiday times when we're going to either host or visiting friends and relatives, we may make the assumption that if we are a responsible gun owner ourselves, people we're going to visit are practicing those and we just can't assume."This story was originally published by Stephanie Wade on 1644
in the form of scholarship vouchers.Cathedral High School announced Sunday it fired a teacher who is in a same-sex marriage after the Archdiocese of Indianapolis threatened to revoke the school's official Catholic status and its financial support.According to the Indiana Department of Education, Cathedral received ,136,258.73 last school year in public money through the Indiana Choice Scholarship Program. How the Program WorksThe Indiana Choice Scholarship Program provides state money to offset tuition costs at schools across Indiana. To qualify, students must live in Indiana and be ages 5-22. There are then eight different options, or "tracks" a student can qualified for, depending on various measurements. For example, there is a sibling track, meaning a student's brother or sister received a scholarship the previous year.A family's income level is also a factor when determining who gets the scholarship money. But the specific school is responsible for determining eligibility. The amount the student receives to attend the school is based on a state-created funding formula, but it could be as much as the school's tuition and fees.The money technically goes to each student's family, but it's tied to a specific school. If the student stops going to that school, they can't use the scholarship money at a different school. The schools participating in the program may not discriminate against a student based on race, color or national origin.Cathedral, Brebeuf Jesuit and RoncalliA few days before Cathedral's announcement, Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School was faced with the same option — fire its teacher in a same-sex marriage or lose its Catholic classification. Brebeuf Jesuit chose the latter."We really just tried to look at it in terms of our community," Brebeuf Jesuit principal Greg VanSlambrook said. "Our decision trying to do the right thing by our teacher and by our community."After the school's decision, it can no longer use the name "Catholic," and will no longer be identified or recognized as a Catholic institution.Both Cathedral and Brebeuf Jesuit are in the Indiana Choice Scholarship Program, meaning they get money from the state to accept the lower-income students.Over the last three school years, Cathedral has received ,457,077.31 in scholarship vouchers from the state, according to data provided by the Indiana Department of Education. Over that same timeframe, Brebeuf Jesuit has received ,137,056.03 in scholarship vouchers.Last year, Roncalli High School placed its guidance counselor on administrative leave after it was discovered she was in a same-sex marriage.Backlash from State LawmakersThere is no mechanism in place to stop Cathedral from receiving public money. Two Democratic Indianapolis state lawmakers, one in each chamber, tried during the last session. Rep. Dan Forestal and Sen. J.D. Ford have pushed to include language in state law that would prevent voucher money from going to schools that discriminate against a staff member based on their sexuality, gender identity, race and many other factors.In Ford's bill, schools in the program would have to annually submit copies of teachers' contracts or other documentation, to prove they're not discriminating. His bill died without getting a hearing. Ford said he was told it was a busy session and the bill didn't meet the priorities of the Committee on Education and Career Development."People are talking about it," Ford said. "My constituents are talking about it, which means I have to talk about it."Both lawmakers have a personal stake in what's happened with these Indianapolis schools. Forestal is a Roncalli alumnus and Ford is the first openly LGBTQ state lawmaker."I think I have a duty to speak up on behalf of the folks this is happening to," Ford said.He also introduced an amendment into the state budget, to essentially do the same as the bill would've. But the amendment was defeated. Ford also said schools that don't receive public money can do what they want, but things change when state funding gets involved."If you are going to do that, that's fine, I'm still going to have an issue with it," Ford said. "It just wouldn't be in my purview as a state legislator. If you want to go ahead and raise the funds and that's what you want to do. … But because of the fact that they are receiving public, taxpayer dollars that come directly from the state budget, that's where I have an issue with that."Ford said he will continue to push the issue in the 2020 legislative session, potentially introducing a similar bill.This story was originally published by Matt McKInney on 4621
now crossing the border into the United States.It looks like motor oil, but the black watery tar sitting in five-gallon buckets is nearly pure THC concentrate."I started to see the people that would usually backpack marijuana through the desert were now backpacking up crude oil," said Detective Matthew Shay with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.Cartels make the concentrate by using a complex process to strip THC off marijuana plants. What's left is distilled and filtered further, taking a product that began at about 6% THC into one that carries a THC content of more than 80%.Shay says it takes about 250 pounds of low-grade commercial marijuana to produce a five-gallon bucket of crude cannabis oil. Once in a concentrated form, profits skyrocket. Each bucket could produce more than 0,000 in vaping cartridges."These are all black-market cartridges — none of these are from a licensed dispensary," Shar said.Once the crude oil from the cartels hits the streets, dealers in the United States begin cutting the product with additives. Shay confirmed that dealers will add ingredients like vitamin E acetate — a compound linked to EVALI, a lung illness related to vaping that has sickened thousands across the country. However, a link between black market cannabis concentrate and EVALI has not yet been confirmed.Shay confirmed that American smoking habits are driving the new trend. Using vape cartridges to deliver THC is now the most popular way of consuming marijuana."That's the whole business right?" Shay said, "If there isn't a market, there's no reason to be shipping the stuff up."It's that demand that fuels the cartel's new strategy — creating a risk no one should take."The black market cannabis cartridges are going to be hazardous, period," Shay said.Labs are testing the crude oil to find out exactly what kind of chemicals are in the product.This story was originally published by Cameron Polom on 1930
