"Come to grow. Good afternoon, I'm Sean Anderson. I'm Hillary Howard, Mike chicas, is our producer. Our top story is breaking news out of the district where the deputy mayor for public safety Chris geldart has resigned. Mayor muriel Bowser made the announcement earlier this afternoon. A sentence to say that I have accepted the resignation of deputy mayor Chris guilt. But I am proud of the work that we have done together over the last 8 years and I am at men's league grateful to Chris for her service to the city. Gildart was charged with assault after an argument in an Arlington parking lot last week. He's also faced questions about where he lives while he has an apartment in the district, his family lives in Virginia. Bowser said the issues and questions surrounding gael dart were distracting from his job and from her job. Has reached out to Gail dart for comment, but has not heard back. Keep it here, we will have more on this story throughout the afternoon. Also breaking news this afternoon, a massive judgment against conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his lies about the 2012 sandy hook elementary school massacre, a jury and Waterbury Connecticut has decided the InfoWars host should pay 900 65 $1 million to people who suffered from his false claims that the shooting was a hoax. He claimed the grieving families were so called crisis actors hired as part of a plot to take away people's guns. The trial featured tearful testimony from parents and siblings of the victims, who told how they were threatened and harassed for years by people who believed the lies that Joan spread. During the trial, Jones acknowledged the shooting was real, but he called the case an affront to free speech rights. Now to developments on Ukraine, at NATO headquarters in Brussels, the chairman of the joint chiefs said Ukraine is calling on western partners to provide it with a complete air defense system to defend against Russian warplanes and missiles. General Mark milley told reporters Ukraine is looking for an integrated air missile defense system designed to control priority targets that the country needs to protect, and that he believes Western Allies can provide that. The general said the system would involve short medium and long-range systems capable of firing projectiles at all altitudes. Well, WTO national security correspondent JJ green spoke just a few minutes ago with a top Pentagon official about this meeting, JJ joins us live with more JJ. What do you have? Sean, that's right. Pentagon press secretary general pat Ryder, who is in Brussels, told me a few minutes ago, this meeting reflected the sense of urgency that's coursing through the Ukraine defense contact group. There was a renewed commitment and sense of resolve in terms of supporting Ukraine in their fight, particularly in light of the recent missile attacks that Russia and that good. The big news to come out of this was that Ukraine is going to get more weapons systems. We're seeing a variety of systems offered up by various countries to support Ukraine. One example that secretary Austin highlighted during a press conference today was Germany's iris tea air defense system. The focus of the contact group was to identify Ukraine's security assistance needs, but in the background was the question of what to do if Russia launches a nuclear weapon or nuclear attack of some sort. And basically even though general riders said they have no education rush is planning to do something like that. There is a strong sense that there would be a significant response if they did. Reporting live, JJ green, WTO news. JJ clearly, Ukraine is happy. It's got the promises for new weapons, but one wonders how long the support like this can last for Ukraine, particularly as winter sets in and people might not have the energy needs met. How do you see that? That's right, Hillary, you, Sean, I and our whole team have talked about the concern about what happens if this support wanes. And Monday was a wake-up call for everyone. That includes the world's top intelligence agencies and the leadership across Europe. It was a reminder that Russia's leadership is dialed in on killing civilians if it has to to get what it wants, even though this war is failing miserably. These attacks in the last few days, they were the first time the Russian state media owned these attacks on civilians instead of saying, no, that's not civilian. Those aren't civilian casualties. These are military casualties. They owned it. And the people in Europe have started to realize, wow. This could be a whole lot worse than it is right now. And we could be involved in this. So they are doubling and tripling down on their support for Ukraine at this point. JJ, thanks. And welcome to WTO national security correspondent JJ green up ahead after traffic and weather.

It's just a sad moment is raining and they say when it rains, people are at peace when it rains. So this is a bit of sweet moment today for me.

When Jessica and Brandon green started looking for house in Philadelphia, built in crypto miner, was not super high on their list of things they wanted. We weren't even going to look at this house. And I was reading the listing. And I saw like cryptocurrency down at the bottom. And I just sort of furrowed my Brown, like, I don't even know what this is. I almost thought that maybe a spammer had gotten in and somehow corrupted the real estate listing. But she thought, you know, this is a pretty good location for us. So they decided to go check out the house. I was going over with a fine tooth comb because I liked it when we first walked in. And yeah, I opened the closet and I see this thing and some like, what in the world is that? He's wondering, is this some kind of security device? It takes a photo of it. Then later that day, when he and Jasper talking about the house, he's like, oh yeah, I should Google the name of that thing in the closet. So I looked it up. I was like, Jess, do you realize that what that thing in the closet is a crypto miner? And she's like, what? I'm like, yeah, so it mines helium. And I literally had to look that up because I was like, the gas? They read more about it, and they were like sharing the Internet. Sure. This thing's already installed. It won't cost us anything. It'll actually make us a little passive income. Plus, it's actually doing something useful in the world. But it wasn't much of a factor for actually buying the house. Mostly what they're thinking is we love the porch and the quartz countertop. Yes, we're going to buy this house. Since they moved in, Jessica says she's only really had one moment of resenting the crypto miner in the closet. When I was sort of unpacking some things and I wanted to put stuff on the shelf in the minor was sitting there, I was like, oh, you're taking up like four shoe boxes worth of space. I felt that. And at that moment were you like, okay, maybe I would rip you out. I can't say it didn't cross my mind. But they didn't rip it out. And once they settled in, mark the real estate agent came over to transfer the ownership of the minor. And then all the money started rolling to them. In the form of helium tokens. Also known as HNT. Do you have the app there? Would you mind opening it and just telling me how much HNT you've earned? Yeah. So it says so it's my wallet. So how would you mind reading me the number? How many do you have? So we have 4.220433 5 two HNT. So we would think that's about 40 bucks. Okay. If we were to turn that into U.S. money dollars right now, it would pay three quarters of the cable Bill. So this isn't like FU money where you guys can quit your jobs and live off the grid? No, not quite yet. Could it turn into that? Who knows? Or could it be worthless tomorrow? I mean, I think both of those things are equally in play at this point in time. With all of these spectacular booms and busts in crypto over the last few years, it can be easy to forget that cryptocurrency began as a kind of utopian vision for escaping the financial system as we know it. Right now, it's easy to get distracted by all of the hype and the scams and the jargon and forget to ask this kind of fundamental question about whether there's actually any value beneath all the froth. And the crypto house, it's kind of a reminder that hype

The buzz lifts Haagen dazs sales, 8%. But back at Ben and Jerry's, troubles brewing. March 2009, London. In an upscale restaurant, Ben and Jerry's cofounders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield are dining with Unilever's new CEO, Paul Holman. Ben Diggs a letter out of his jacket. It's a copy of an ultimatum that Ben and Jerry's independent board sent to Unilever's top people a few months earlier. Its message is blunt. Unilever either meets its obligations to Ben and Jerry's. Where the board sues. Ben starts reading out the board's list of demands. Pay employees outside Vermont a living wage. Restore the independence of the brand's CEO. Keep making ice cream at the Waterbury plant in Vermont. Pullman interjects. The Waterbury plan was dropped the moment the board objected. It was only an ID. I still don't know why the mere suggestion of turning the plant into a Ben and Jerry's visitor attraction upset the board so much. Jerry responds. It's about Unilever's pattern of behavior. It shouldn't be a surprise that the board saw it as just another cost cutting move. Ben resumes reading out demands. Reinstate auditing of the brand's social impact, reverse the cuts to product quality. Ben, I want these things addressed, okay? This ideology where businesses just about maximizing shareholder value has gone too far. It's insane. Our cofounder William lever made his company the leading example of responsible capitalism in his day. I want Unilever to be that example again. To do that, I need Ben and Jerry's. No other Unilever brand knows how to do it. Ben and Jerry's couldn't show all of our brands the way. Holman sounds genuine. But Ben and Jerry have heard similar promises from Unilever before. Ben points at Pullman. Bottom line is, if Unilever doesn't meet the terms of the sale, Jerry and I won't be staying quiet about what's happening. Let's try to resolve this together first. I'll write a public bust up would hurt the brand and the people that work for it. And I don't think any of us want that. I promise we will make it right. In the months that follow. The winds of change blow through Ben and Jerry's. Flavors are restored to their original more expensive specifications. And workers outside Vermont get a living wage. Unilever managers and the independent board agree to a 5 year plan to re radicalize Ben and Jerry's. The plan includes removing genetically modified foods from its products, and only using suppliers who meet its social and environmental standards. And in September 2009, the brand marks the introduction of same sex marriage in Vermont by temporarily renaming its chubby hubby flavor, hubby hubby. After ten years, coasting on past glories, Ben and Jerry's is once more setting the pace for companies that want to profit and change the world. And the rest of Unilever is starting to follow its example. But as Ben and Jerry's rediscovers its mojo, a Hollywood hopeful, is about to churn up the super premium scene.

We had the scoop on a tea time that he had for Sunday that it didn't end up happening, apparently allegedly today, but he was supposed to play with DT today. And we thankfully holstered that because it didn't end up happening, but that was something that was supposed to go down today. I don't know if that was injury related that he wasn't going to play. I don't know where, but he was, he's coming back to golf, apparently with some issues going in. It released a whole video on Instagram. It was super weird of like, I can't follow him. He was like, yeah, the trainer was like making sure to explain like he took a fall over in Saudi Arabia, which is also super weird. And he's also he couldn't help himself. Well, hitting thousands golf balls probably didn't help. Maybe he was on the yacht. Could have been. Snorkeling with a prince. So yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing Bryce. I hope he's healthy enough to play. It sounds like he's kind of pulling a brooksie here and really rushing back to playing, but as much as we make fun of Bryce and I still like watching him play golf, so I'm excited to see what happens this week. I'm bummed the commish. Rob Manfred can't make it tomorrow. Two seminal pro member. He's busy meeting. What's a meeting? That'd be a tough one. Schedules all jammed up. That would be it.

Young hit or Brandon Matthews is planned. He's playing some unbelievable golf right now. Put him out of the country. He's really good. He can be really good in the states too, but that guy can play out of the country somehow. He's got his card pretty much locked up for next year. Pretty close. Exciting. Is he the longest? Is Bryson longer than him? No. Driving range. Yeah. I throw this back, Waterloo opened last year. They have a long drive place. Where's the Waterloo? Waterloo island. It's greatest minute. The course is. Sounds like the Waterbury class. It is. It's Waterbury open. There is the course can't be 6500 yards. There's 5 par 5s drivable fours. Like it's the most fun little muni golf course. You can possibly play. They have a long drive contest on whatever the day before the tournament is. And it's on the first halt to par 5 dogleg left. And I sit there and watch, I'm talking to Brandon, and he's like, I was like, you got to do this. He's like, all right, I'll go sign up. So he goes signs up, and I'm sitting there watching the guys hit first guy, he's like three 30, next guy, three 50, whatever. Guy hits Feeling pretty good about himself. And Brandon gets up there and I'm like, this is gonna be incredible. Little dog like left and down hill where these guys are probably flying it. He hits his first one, and he gets it in play. It like three 70. Or sorry, sorry sorry, misses the fairway on his first one. He had three shots. Hits a fair amount of second, like three 70. Well, fairway finder. Literally. And then his last one is the longest golf ball until I saw Kyle Berkshire at ever hit in my life. And it went 404 yards. And honestly, where it lands, it's uphill. It had to fly three 98. He hit it, and I was like, oh, my gosh. Hi, draw had to go a 140 feet in the air and was in the air for like 8 seconds. And then you're like, eh, 440 yards. Everyone else is like, what just happened, but it's a gear. I actually saw both of them later on in the year. Berkshire and Matthews in a long drive contest. And Berkshire hit four 41. I think I may have already said this before, but it was, it's a different world between go to golf long, like Brandon Matthews, and then some guy that does it for a living. And it's impressive though. Math. Matthews can hold his own. He's a big dude. Yeah. I was up in Scranton with him and he and his dad and I went and played a man in, which is like the course he grew up on. This homemade course. He can drive basically drive every whole except for the par 5s. Right there. I mean, it's not long, but into the par 5. They're not short. And he's hitting sand wedge. If he wants it, there's one hole that he has to hit pitching wedge 9 iron. It's like a straight up. That's awesome. You want to get through the rest of your list here at TC, you got a couple of man. I was burning this morning. I was having some coffee. We got the Cabot citrus farms news dropped. Riley John's key threat, we're going to do one of the courses and Kyle Franz is going to do the other one. I think Franz is doing, is it Franz or France? France, France. All right. It's doing the pine barrens one that's like the pine valley one, and then the other one's rolling oaks and so I don't know, I'm so stoked to see what they turn that place into. Which is where for the listeners. It is in brooksville, Florida, homo sapiens springs area. That's where they're doing it. World Woods. They're redoing worldwide. Yeah. The place is awesome. One of the best pieces of property in front of it. It feels like you're in the Texas hill country. Or the pine barrens ones feels like close to North Carolina, like sandhill type deal. It's very pine valley. I always get to play it when it's over seated and you're like, yeah. Exactly. It has the bones, if you will, of something that could be really, really awesome. They've got a four sided driving range. Jesus. It's like the whole thing. It was this Japanese guy owned it. A couple thousand acres and they were going to build 9 courses or something, and then I think the Japanese economy hit the skids and everything. Mike strantz worked on the pine barrens course, you see his influences on the par 5s and the short forests, especially. It's cool. If we got a minute, I can go into the short four like 16 or 15, and I the dog like right. I had some dreams go to die there. It's like, it's like the closest thing you'll see to tobacco road.

I grateful for care stack so much so i became an ambassador. I have been singing the praises of care so november twenty eighteen. they have superior customer service. They're extremely attentive. They genuinely wants you to succeed. And i. I've had such wonderful experience with care. Stack that whenever i can help colleen in this startup. Or if they're transitioning purchasing practice in they may need to get things electron I certainly want to experience explore room with with care stack to see if it is the solution. The best solution to meet their practice needs. Yeah that's awesome i. They have like a lot of comprehensive things coming out with a lot of really really great stuff. But that's those systems are are fantastic one of the last questions. I wanted to ask you throughout this whole process. If you can recall a remember or just like you don't think back for the moment you sign the lease till today what's been your biggest struggles or fails pitfalls. I think what a lot of us are dealing with. Staffing was blessed at two of my assistance. Who had left their community health center where i was director so i was not violating might contract mentally have come to work with me in my private practice so we've got years of experience with each other so i have some of those. Those individuals have been with me since shortly after day. One one of them certainly from day one remember she and i were in between patients at the community health center together about how we how we could do things differently. In thrive if we were to open up a practice of our own there that aspect and of course the corona virus. I the pandemic And my heart goes out to the individuals who who's projects that put on hold so that that's because no one could move and in sprayed gets discouraged but staffing has been a challenge in what i've recently done is i've gone ahead and signed a contract with one of those programs in the area too. You know what souverain expert win extra. Who is actually interested in. They might be interested in pediatrics straight. But that's been pretty successful in having donald system. Seek us out is the are google reviews. They see our website. They understand our mission vision. I think they'd like to be a part of that recognize. Would show on staff here. Treat you like your family again. Much to some folks would say you. Don't do that but i i. It's definitely a family live over here. So but it's not for everybody. Some folks didn't come back after the pandemic in i get it. It's everyone had to take a moment in look at their lives and say and make a decision as to what they were going to do. Then i'd like all not be super discouraged. There are folks out there who were interested in their folks who were out there learning so if you have the patients in the environment in the team members that will allow you to sow seeds of welcome -ness of love encouragement in success in into a dental assistant student day hygiene student. Or something preparing to graduate in you can you can help set the tone and helped propel them into our profession with kindness with compassion and they woman turn give that same vibe to the patients. They're treating into justice positive reinforcement so it is a challenge by feel like every time i start to fret about waterbury going to do. I don't want the staff who's here to feel like they're overworked and to not want to come to work. And then the lord turns around and says i've got a contract in my email to partner with adele assisting schools. They've got a student who's ready to start her extra shift next week in idaho. Really thank you so matt of prayer. Lots of patients recognizing wants purpose.

It's not unusual for them to start their lee leaves turning a little bit early Remember this is. September and fall is just a week or so away. It's not really that far away I always see the august fifteenth firstly. Turn on the county road on the my way into mobilier. Then that's of course a reminder that the days are getting shorter so wouldn't worry too much about that what you wanna do with young trees as as you know. Make sure you're again. You're watering and feeding them. So that they have the nutrients they need making sure that there's no bugs around them. Protect them from the deer and oftentimes just a little bit of tangled foot around. The tree will help anything climbing up. And that will bore into the the Into them and oddly enough a good spray with fish emotion is a is a good way to fertilize a fruit tree. Which surprised the heck economy. But i was reading an expert in on fruit trees and and he recommended that Pretty highly so you can. You can spray them now. You can spray them a first thing in the spring and just cover all the wood and all the buds everything as they start to come out. And i wouldn't worry too much about turning the leaves turning now it's like say it's it's the time they should you know they're. They're reading the signs better than the we are. How goodnight sweetheart. you know. we're we're going to bed. Yeah we know lino. It's coming when there's a forty one degrees night. We know what's coming up so last year Two years ago. I paid one of my treats from a chipmunk. Chewed apple tree is not three inches around. We girdled at what i did was. I made i read on the internet. I took and made like straws with the with the branches. You made a bridge between the two six yup between the two and then i put fencing staples in between you know so. You slid up under the barton on both ends and then i put That tar that you use trees all around it and That trees got like probably one hundred apples on the show. Why should i thought it was going to. That is so clever. While get you get straight a.'s. For that one. But it's not a super. I would never thought of that. I found it on the internet. And i gotta try otherwise. It's gonna fall down by. Its sure i've got about a four year old apple. The same thing happened to him. I have to check that out. give track. it's it's a. it's a nice little red apple. Good it's a you know a dorf tree so right but it's still it probably would save. Can y'all because it's things are slowing down Yeah and i wanna take all my all my to apple trees. And i'm gonna just paint them with that tire about three feet up then the squirrels chipmunks. Nothing's gonna wanna eat it because they're going to get that tiro well. What you want is a band. Just read the instructions. You you don't wanna tyre tyre the entire thing because it can soften the burke see about a one inch band and it'll tell you how far up maybe a foot upper six inches up or maybe even a little higher than that. And that's it'll it'll stop for the for the critters for the chipmunks and the mice you know you wanna actually a hard barrier like the plastic. The fencing barrier yeah. I've been light now. It is there no way after that. I almost three hundred so fight that that's a great idea. It's probably easy to come across them. Used so stovepipe young and easier to put up and down right. What a great idea like that. When you're full of good ideas francis that's good well good. Okay well let us know how that goes if that continues to continue to grow. Well i'm gonna be curious.

Black Church's 'Street Team' Encourages Connecticut Residents to Get Vaccinated
"Connecticut, a historically black churches, sending teenagers door to door over the summer to encourage residents to get the covid vaccine. Connecticut has one of the highest vaccination rates in the country. But it is a very different story in the town of Waterbury. Here's Ali Oshinsky from Connecticut Public radio. Police. Taylor is hitting 10,000 steps a day. A lot of them on hills and up to front doors to ask crime, ma'am, Are you interested in taking the Covid 19 vaccine? This person already got hurt. Oh, great. So I think we left the information Flyer. Yeah, right at your door. So if you do know anyone who's not vaccinated you can share with them. Thank you. Taylor is 15 and she's part of the Grace Baptist Church Street team. Every weekday morning, she and seven other teens pair up and walk around Waterbury, knocking on doors to have conversations like that one. I'll try to do you know my little bit what we do have people back at the church that will, you know, walk them through. There were ease. The process starts with the street team. Residents get a knock and a flyer. The teens were trained to ask a few questions and take down a phone number. If there's interest someone from a phone bank can call later to arrange an in home shot or transportation to a vaccine clinic. Grace Baptist pays the teens $15 an hour with funds from a state vaccine equity program. The pastor Christopher Reese, says this church is trying to make it as easy as possible for Waterbury residents to get their shot. Especially in black communities. My church, I think, is maybe 90% vaccinated. Why? Because their leader, their pastor has been pushing it now races trying to be that leader beyond his congregation. Connecticut ranks near the top for the percentage of residents that are fully vaccinated. But Waterbury lags behind the numbers are especially low among the city's black residents. Just around a third are fully immunized.

Well my my biggest regret with regard to what mother nature does to attack my garden is that i just. Oh i miss pole beans. I have the. I love them. I always thought well of the edible varieties of course. I always thought the poll varieties of the beans. We're we're we're sweeter and and and better overall than the bush varieties whenever there was a chance but unfortunately the deer would eat at plant level. You know at that. There had level the the bush beans the the roma style bush means those are the flat pods on and those are the real tender ones They do have bush varieties of those non and they. They're they're really jewish. I love the bush variety of the purple beads. Ask kids like because once you steam them they turn green and miss villain that. When i make my dilly beans i i had the purple and yellow and all the rest of that but even so the purple ones turn green. They see you don't know but the yellow one station yellow. So when i was doing i was putting the yellow and green all the way around outside so they look kinda pretty what beans great waterbury farmers market.

Is you have a thousand dollar bill for the there. And when he sees him he's gonna come no question about it and it'll probably come back to see if there's any more so what you have.

You know mischievous nothing bad but i definitely got into my share of trouble and always put it this way. I don't have a record. You know what. I mean I you know you get into a fight and it it got sorted out you know what i mean like now definitely you know. You've got some officers who might say you know what you're both getting arrested. You guys were fighting but a lot of times. They sorted out what was going on. This is go home. Do this and you know i personally. That's good police work again. I'm not a cop. So i can't comment on. What really is good. Police work but i do know that as a result of how was the word you use before the culture of the department bat when it's required to be hands on. I think it happens and when it's not it doesn't happen you don't even it's not required Maybe other police departments. I think sometimes you might have a couple of guys who just might be Do to maybe lack of training just like they might be a little nervous or and sometimes on an individual is nervous. They jumped the shark a little bit. And maybe a little over zealous when it comes to handling a scenario but at least in this town. I've never had a problem. Let me ask you about the nervous and skittishness. I said i had. I had a conversation with Another officer he was a defensive tactics instructor as well. And i'm sure that mike an an an editor here they can. Probably you know comments on this as well He was saying that Many officers are going to the gun. Many officers are going to taser Because they are or many other tools because they have a they're not competent in their hand to hand skills and or verbal skills right so they're just immediately or You know go into these other forms. Taken a person's into custody what. What are your thoughts about that.

Give some hope encouragement and is spy by ration- well thank you so much to you. Miss wheatley into swan for having me on your program. I really really appreciate. I'm really humbled in honored to be here. Let me just start off by just kind of introduced myself I am Lawrence hunter a retired police captain from the city of waterbury. What police department in the waterbury connecticut. I was born in the city of boston. Raised here in the city of waterbury. Where i still reside Don't ask me why. I'm still here but i'm still here And so we called Waterbury affectionately call it the dirty water. I won't get into why we call it that but that's what we call it here So i was a as. I said i was raised here. I went to public schools here. I then joined a police department fairly young age. I was twenty two years old when i joined and then. I excelled to the rank of captain. Anyone who's not familiar with the rank structure of police departments and the military goes from entry level pro bowl officer officer and then the next rank is usually a sergeant. Some police departments have corporals. and in. so we go from sergeant to lieutenant and captain captain in my particular department. I was a division commander. I was the midnight shift commander for quite some time. And i also was over the internal affairs department. We call it. A professional standard was internal affairs as well as the training. That's what it was. I simon finished as returning back to the midnight. Shift as the commander there During my time. I wasn't implicit been biased instructor I talked to defensive tactics Taught human behavior which is essentially psychology to police recruits as well as to members. Who are already department In fact he police department has just Re asked me to come back and teach some more classes due to what we're talking about a little bit due to some of the programs or or situations that are going on around the country. The state of connecticut has instituted for new classes. That are mandatory. I believe i do your twenty two but of course you know when he said he's getting ahead of it now in one of the There's four classes one is anti-racism class and these for police recruits. Who are going to be on to police academy anti-racism Policing in historical context in the civil rights movement. That's just one class history of policing in civil rights movement anti racism and procedural justice in. There's another class i forget. I'm going to be teaching procedural justice and touch these in a little bit each will justice in a history class so upon my retirement i started a business called elevates consulting services where i do consulting bump with police officers were going to take a promotional exams. Anyone who wants to become a police. Officer i will work with you are or were them who want to become police officers I'm also teaching leadership supervision principles diversity inclusion Until those are just a little bit of my expertise. I'm leaving some things out. But that's just a little bit of what. I what i've done in what i'm doing today. I currently hosts a podcast called captain hunters podcast where i focus on bridging the divide between the police and the community that they serve and so a really really has become a passionate about and how i started this particular consulting agency in the podcast and i currently host is because i looked around and saw that many african americans when i told him that i was a police officer. You either get. Oh hey that's great or you get You know that's an odd you know. Do you get that kind of negative. Look or they some people just did not want to be around you at all as an officer. So that really kinda troubled me so i did my own journey and Into history of policing in my own research is what i meant. I in my journey into the history policing you know why. The african-american community in particular has such a problem with with. What's going on in so once. I started to look into things I don't know of anyone will remember back in the nineteen nineties in one thousand nine hundred ninety seven nine in particular were two incidents in new york. It was the ad moore abner louima situation and the advocate. The other young man's name but they were both brutalized by the police. Indoor killed So when when that happened I i was a young officer myself. I came out nineteen ninety five but became police officer night in two years and we had nine ninety seven. I was dealing with the situation and then two years later ninety nine and dealt with another situation and in connecticut in new york connecticut in new york city are fairly. You're fairly close in proximity. So a lotta people. Were calling me up and ask me. You know what's up with this. How come the police are doing this type of thing do you know. Why do you guys doing this. And you know there's always this this need to say that you guys it's all of you guys are guys are all hiding behind this blue wall blueshield and so that was very troubling to me. Because i know that. I wasn't one of those people who are doing that. A shame As you mentioned. Mr miss wheatley that when There's there's bad so-called apples in every profession. there's a teachers who right now are unfortunately sleep. Sleep their students but no one is blaming all teachers type of there's politicians who are on the take blame upon. Well maybe some of us are blaming..
Climate Connections
Connecticut man uses magic to teach kids about environmental issues
"Cj may is the recycling coordinator for the city waterbury connecticut but that's not the only role he plays to help the environment. I wear several different hats. And one of them is indeed a wizard hat in his alter ego as cyril. The sorcerer may use his magic to teach kids about environmental issues such as climate change for example. He performs a routine that helps children understand how various sources of energy affect the climate. I pulls a short rope out of a toy wind. Turbine then he pulls a long rope out of a toy oil drum and even longer rope out of pretend lump of coal he explains that the length of the ropes represents how much carbon pollution each energy source generates then using sleight of hand. He makes all three ropes the same size and tells the kids that electricity from each source works equally. Well may says that magic can grab people's attention in a way that facts and figures often do not and while he has kids attention he makes sure they understand that climate change is serious but there are solutions and everyone can make a difference. Magic shows us that even in the darkest of times when we're confronting a global crisis. We can do amazing things when we put our minds to it.

Kind of like when, uh, it's going mad like when your grandmother makes you something, and it always takes a little bit better, because there's that extra love that's put into it. Yeah, part of the quality of our hips. And it evolved from it started out with our restaurants in Barnes and our family farms on our farm. We were growing veggies and some hemp, too. And we thought it would be fun to add some hemp infused tive. Food and cocktails on our menu at the restaurant. Um what once CBD had became federally legal can leave referred. We were the first to do that in our state, which is Vermont. And we got such a great response from our customers that we decided we wanted to create a cannabis lifestyle brand and number on farms was born in 2020 mist of a pandemic. So, um I think that this is such an important story because It's about I love what you say. Ah, your motto is to, um feel good and do good. And I think that for many people having CBD in their lives and having Choices is really critical. And one of the great pieces about your story. Is that No. Uh, apparently what? He traveled all over. He was involved in sustainability and went all over the world. Yeah, I know His background is and international sustainability, and he lived in a tanz, India and Molly and did some micro finance work with this group.

And went to school for his master's at Marble College, which has a great sustainable community development program and business and he's just been applying that Hear cries his passion. So where you guys right now? At with Cove, it did covert having a nim packed on the business. That it definitely It definitely did. It's been tough, but it push us to be innovative and creative as well. And there's been the bright spots like getting to know our customers in here. Why they're passionate about Can't envision what brings him to our location. But lots of people have been coming in with elevated stress levels and seeking out CBD products as a way to cope and get through the difficult time. And it is one of the great parts of this feels really good to be able to know that you're helping them so better and find what works for them. And, um Rico that we had this vision to do. Ah cannabis, do some cannabis events and have a grand opening. Would covet. That hasn't been in the cards just yet, are so as I say, not on the table because we have it in our deck of cards. But we used to host that 4 20 parties at our sister business in barns. Right down the road and Waterbury. And we were hoping we could host another one soon at a body shop Once once it's safe, and maybe hopefully drink, you'll be able to join us. You're not too far. Not too far. No, no, no, not at all. And and Vermont is so gorgeous. It's such a beautiful part of the world. And pristine and still one of those you can't you know, you just kind of look around and you say this is really New England.

"Other three million people. As I'm sure you've heard made first time claims for unemployment in the past week that brings it to thirty six million plus in the past couple of months there's a whole slew of second order effects out of that of course and one of them is that the Labor Department has told cities and states they have an obligation to detect waste and fraud in the unemployment system and there are reports of states that have been pushing companies to disclose when employers refused to return to work then as marketplace's Justin Ho reports. That is putting a whole lot of business is in a pretty tight spot about two weeks ago. The Vermont Labor Department launched a Web page for businesses to report employees. Who declined offers to return to work by doing so? Employers could effectively kick those workers off of unemployment insurance though there are some exemptions mark. Fryer Cohen's restaurant called the reservoir in Waterbury Vermont. He says he isn't happy with the tough choices that may force him to make. It makes it very difficult to think that we would have to turn to the state and tell them that they should pull their aid. Prior laid off all of his employees and mid-march he also took out a paycheck protection program. Loan which can be forgiven if he brings his head count backup during the loans. Eight week window restaurants are allowed to take out but Vermont hasn't allowed them to fully reopened. Friars restaurant is closed. We're not rushing to bring people off on employment will can't reopen our doors because of state order one of friars former employees is sage. Guggenheim had chef at the reservoir. She says she'd love to get back. But given the safety issues of returning to work she understands that others want to stay at home. We don't want to force people into a difficult position where they have to choose between what they want to do and what they have to do. Businesses want to keep good relationships with their employees says Labor Economists Teresa Ghilarducci at the new school. They also have the loyalty and relationship of trust that builds up over time. Several other states have set up similar websites for reporting employees including Montana Oklahoma Tennessee in South Carolina. Frank NAP is the president of the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce. He says many businesses are realizing a hard truth about their P loans. Despicable low may not be forgivable. He says some may decide to give back their PCs loans rather than force their employees to return to work. I'm just in how for marketplace
