DETROIT, Mich. — Thousands of packages are stacked up inside a metro Detroit mail distribution center as a perfect storm of the pandemic, holiday mail volume, and what some call poor planning, which could spoil the holidays.Those mail delays are also costing local business owners dearly.A beautiful ad celebrating the hardworking men and women of the US Postal Service is airing on TV these days, as a singer croons, “I’ll be home for Christmas, you can count on me.” But for small business owners like Alicia Christensen, the post office has hit a low note.“I’m not counting on them, because I had to shut my shop down. I can’t rely on the flowers to get there before Christmas,” said Christensen.Christensen makes hand-painted aluminum wreaths and wall art shaped like flowers. In January, this artist from Wixom opened her “Bendable Blooms” shop on the website ‘Etsy.’ But the wreaths she mailed to customers on Nov. 29 got stuck “in transit” at the USPS Detroit Network Distribution Center (NDC) in Allen Park.“My Etsy shoppers are starting to contact me, wanting either their money back or wanting to know where these are at,” said Christensen.Christensen was forced to choose between losing about 0 by refunding customers, or getting bad reviews which can have a long-term impact on her business. So she temporarily halted her online sales, sent refunds, all the while anxiously watches for shipping updates of the packages stuck at Allen Park.And she’s not the only one wondering why her packages haven’t moved out of Michigan.Today the 7 Investigators counted at least 50 tractor-trailers waiting to get on to the Allen Park USPS property, not to mention the dozens of trailers stacked with packages already inside.“It has mail from wall to wall,” said American Postal Workers Union Detroit Local 295 President Keith Combs. “This is something that I have never seen in my 30 years of being a postal employee.”Combs represents Detroit-area postal drivers, clerks, and maintenance workers. Combs says the USPS restructuring ordered by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy added to the backlog caused by the pandemic and normal holiday mail volume increases. Combs says some of that restructuring means employees based in metro Detroit now report to managers out of state.“They should have started hiring these seasonal people much earlier than they did, I would say back in May, June or July-- getting prepared to bring those new people on. The tractor-trailer guys that I represent would have needed to have more trailers, even if they needed to be purchased or rented. So you can have a place to have this mail staged to be able to move smoothly from point A to point B,” Combs told 7 Investigator Heather Catallo. “I don’t think that happened. And there needed to be some thought process on how the mail flow was going to operate inside the building so that the safety of the employees was addressed and you didn’t have so much mail that there was not even walking room in some of these plants.”Combs says letters are also piled up at the USPS facility on W. Fort Street in Detroit. He says he and other union leaders reached out to management last May to prepare for the holiday “peak” as postal workers call it. Combs said their requests fell on deaf ears.“Postal employees are so diligent in what they do and feel like they need to do a great job all the time, as they do. I’m getting calls from my members and employees saying this is a problem, we need to be better. And again, they’re doing such a great job with trying to get this mail delivered. But it’s the people who are appointed over them that are not doing a great job in making sure that’s happening,” said Combs.Combs says letters are also piled up at the USPS facility on West Fort Street in Detroit.USPS spokeswoman Elizabeth Najduch sent us a statement about the delays in Allen Park:“The 640,000 employees of the U.S Postal Service across the nation are proud to provide an essential service to our customers during the pandemic and to meet unprecedented challenges of this extraordinary year.The Detroit NDC has faced challenges recently due to COVID-19 at the same time mail volumes have dramatically increased. We have taken steps to address issues caused by the pandemic as we approach our busiest weeks, including hiring seasonal employees and allocating employees to facilities that need additional resources.There has already been progressing at the Detroit NDC, and we are confident that our processing and delivery will return to normal levels quickly.As we do each year, the Postal Service reminds customers to send mail and packages early to avoid glitches. For additional holiday information and resources, including mailing deadlines and packaging tips, check out the USPS holiday newsroom.We thank our customers for their continued support, and we are committed to making sure gifts and cards are delivered on time to celebrate the holidays.”On Friday, Sen. Gary Peters released an oversight update of the USPS, that “confirmed previous findings that Postal Service leaders failed to consider the impacts of their changes and that on-time first-class mail delivery plummeted in the weeks after Mr. DeJoy assumed leadership. USPS leaders did not complete any study or analysis of the impact the changes would make on mail service prior to implementation, nor did they seek stakeholder input or public hearings,” according to a press release.Meanwhile, Alicia Christensen just hopes her “Bendable Blooms” customers will return to her after the mail delays are resolved.“We’ve got to stay positive and there’s always hope. There’s always 2021,” said Christensen.Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence responded to the investigation with the below statements:Is the Congresswoman looking into this?Yes. Earlier this month, I sent a letter to the United States Postal Service Inspector General requesting an investigation into the origins of the mail delays. In the weeks leading up to the election, data provided by the Postal Service indicated a drop in on-time mail delivery, a trend that has continued in recent weeks.Are you aware things have gotten so bad again?Yes, I am aware that the delays have gotten worse. Historically, the holiday season is the busiest time for mail delivery for the Postal Service. The combination of enormous mail volume and thousands of USPS employees quarantining due to COVID-19 has further strained a Postal Service that is already struggling to keep up with demand.What can be done?Last Friday, I spoke to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to express my concerns with the ongoing mail delivery delays across the country. Although you specifically mentioned a backlog in Allen Park, USPS facilities across the country are experiencing similar delays as workers seek to work through the backlog as quickly as possible. Please know that I will follow up with the Postmaster General to ensure the concerns are properly addressed.In addition, pleas

DEL MAR, Calif. (KGTV) -- "When difficult things happen, artists really feel the need to give a voice to what's going on," described mother of two, Deana Lederman. Lederman always turned to paintbrushes and a canvas when things got tough. "I have been drawing and writing since I was really little."She turned her passion into profit when she became a published cartoonist, but she always had an eye for writing and books."I've always written stories and I've always wanted to get it out there, and this is kind of an interesting time to get this out there because there are a lot of families who are having a really hard time," Lederman described.She pivoted from human to something more serious and recently published a series of children's books about COVID-19."I have a friend who has two little boys in Brooklyn, New York and she shared photos of the rainbows in the windows. That seemed like a logical storyline for the silver lining and sense of connection we have during the fact we're all isolated." It inspired her first book titled 'Noah Henry: A Rainbow Story'. After that, came 'Masks'."It's about a mom who sews masks for essential workers and I think everyone's been thinking about that and seeing all the work everyone's been doing," Lederman said.Her book was recently published by TBR, a non-profit organization that supported multilingual children's books. Lederman's books were published in spanish, japanese and hebrew to name a few."It's really wonderful to be able to have these stories in my first picture books published in many languages so we can connect people during this time from all over." 1629

DENVER – The man accused of killing 26 people and wounding 20 others at a Texas church on Sunday bought two weapons in Colorado and at one point was charged with animal cruelty in Colorado Springs for beating and dragging his dog.Devin Patrick Kelley, 26, was living at a trailer park in Colorado Springs in 2014, according to state voter registration records.In August 2014, he was charged with animal cruelty – neglect or mistreatment. According to a police report from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office, a woman called deputies just after 10 p.m. to report a Husky puppy running through the Fountain Creek RV Park, where Kelley was staying at the time.The woman reported that she had seen a man, later identified as Kelly, jump on the dog and punch it in its head and neck several times. Another man reported Kelley was yelling at the dog while hitting it, and that the dog was “yelping and whining.” Two others corroborated the story.“She stated she witnessed four to five punches and then the male suspect grabbed the dog by the neck and drug him away,” the report says.The witness said Kelley drug the dog back to a camper at lot 60, which is where Kelley was staying. When deputies went to the door of the camper, Kelley refused to come out and speak to officers, or to show them the dog.After some time, Kelley agreed to come out and talk to deputies, according to the report. One deputy said the dog appeared underweight, and a sergeant got Kelley to tell him he chased after the dog when it wouldn’t obey his commands not to run away.He further told deputies that he had jumped on top of his dog because “it was acting aggressive to another dog,” but denied beating the dog or dragging it back to the camper.Kelley was placed in a patrol vehicle and issued a summons in the case. The dog was taken by a deputy to the Veterinary Specialty Center in El Paso County and was to receive veterinary care, according to the report.The Fountain Creek RV Park told Denver-based KMGH on Sunday it did not recognize his name, nor did it keep electronic records of who had stayed there.Court records show that Kelley was also charged with failing to signal and speeding two months later, in October 2014. A day before Christmas of that year, he pleaded guilty to failing to signal, and was ordered to pay a 5 fine. The speeding charge was amended.Kelley received a deferred sentence in the case of 18 months of unsupervised probation. The case was dismissed once he successfully completed the probation, a Colorado court spokesperson confirmed to KMGHKelley served in the Logistics Readiness division of the U.S. Air Force from 2010, and was stationed at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico until 2014. The base is located about 90 miles northeast of El Paso, Texas.In 2012, he was court-martialed for two counts of assault on his then-wife and their child, the Air Force confirmed to KMGH. He was sentenced to 12 months of confinement and a rank reduction. He and his wife divorced that year.Air Force officials said Sunday Kelley had received a bad conduct discharge.An official with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said at Monday morning’s press conference that Kelley had bought four guns—one in each of the past four years.The ATF official, Fred Milanowski, said three guns were recovered at the scenes of the shooting and of Kelley’s death: a Ruger AR-556 rifle, which was used in the shooting at the church, and a Glock .9mm and Ruger .22-caliber handgun that were both found in Kelley’s vehicle when he was found dead.It’s unclear which weapons Kelley bought in Colorado, but at least one of those recovered at the scene was bought in the Centennial State.But according to CNN, Kelley used a Colorado Springs address to buy the AR-556 he bought at a San Antonio outdoors store in 2016.He also tried to get a license to carry a weapon in Texas, but was denied, according to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.A Department of Public Safety spokesman said that had Kelley received a dishonorable discharge from the military, he would have been prohibited from buying weapons. But the spokesman said officials “do not have all that documentation yet” and would need to further determine what his conviction was in the military.Kelley did have a license to be a non-commissioned private security guard, but was not allowed to carry a weapon. But officials said Kelley cleared background checks for the license.Authorities said Monday that Kelley’s former mother-in-law was a parishioner at the Sutherland Springs church, and that Kelley had threatened her before. The officials said they believed the shooting was domestic-violence related, and added they’d found no racial or religious motivations yet.They also noted that one man engaged Kelley with a semi-automatic rifle outside the church after much of the carnage had already been done. The man shot Kelley, and Kelley dropped his weapon and fled in his vehicle, a DPS spokesman said Monday.The Good Samaritan and another man jumped in a vehicle and chased Kelley, officials said. At some point, Kelley called his father to tell him he’d been shot and “didn’t think he was going to make it.”Officials said evidence shows that Kelley shot himself while he was fleeing, but said the pathologist would determine his exact cause and manner of death. 5343

DEL MAR, Calif. (KGTV) - Several homes have been burglarized during the past week in the hills of Olde Del Mar.Neighbors believe they're targeted because they're very freeway accessible; burglars can make a quick getaway.Michelle Angles was a victim."We're so close to the freeway that criminals are coming here because it's an easy pop onto the freeway right after they burglarize. We've had our car broken into; thousands of dollars of things taken."Monday afternoon, just minutes before two homes around the corner and a few blocks away were burglarized, her home surveillance video caught three shady characters ambling down the street."The video shows three young men walking along the sidewalk and they stop right here and you see them looking around and talking very softly.  They noticed the camera and immediately started walking away and one of the young men.. you can see him stop and walk up the grass and he looked into a window next door.  So they were casing houses in the neighborhood," Angles said.At the break-in five blocks away, thieves ransacked the house; stealing jewelry, electronics, cameras and photographic gear.  They also left behind an autographed Steven Tyler guitar with the authentication paperwork right next to it.  They also left many fingerprints on furniture they moved around.  The homeowner said they fed the dog, too; and though she appreciates that the dog wasn't hurt, she's hopeful the fingerprints will lead to arrests. 1517
