Coffee, chocolates shop supports women battling substance abuse

Soho Friends members do not have access to the Houses unless they stay in a bedroom. Simmers said the junk removal business grew out of staffers going out to collect donations of household goods and sometimes finding them unusable. They would offer to haul the items to the landfill in exchange for a donation. Griffin traveled here and shared his expertise, Simmers said, and when Brooke’s House opened, the residents began making chocolates that sold by word of mouth and through local businesses.

The SIX is a 52-unit LEED Platinum affordable housing project that provides a home, support services and rehabilitation for disabled veterans. McArthur Park has one of the highest densities in the USA with over 38,000 people per square mile and a total population of 120,000 people in 2.72 square miles. New residents initially work at all three places while they are being evaluated to find the best fit, he said. Like Harkins, Dyson said Simmers’ trust in her was a major part of her recovery. When she was in another treatment facility in Dorchester County, she accidentally bumped into another resident and spilled her coffee.

The other side is set up like a dining room with tables and chairs enough to accommodate 50 people, and can be closed off as a separate space that is available to rent for alcohol-free gatherings, according to Simmers. Board of Directors Treasurer Nick Varner told the crowd at the ribbon cutting that the coffee and chocolates shop, which will provide revenue for Brooke's House programs and job training for residents, is a worthwhile part of the overall program. The affidavit said officers located Templeton's vehicle the following day in the neighborhood where they were told the road rage incident began. Templeton admitted to being involved in the road rage portion of the incident.

How did the idea for the shop come about?

The other woman said she couldn’t be mad about it because she had just been accepted to Brooke’s House. Working at the shop has made a difference in the life of 29-year-old manager Amber Harkins, who ironically ended up at Brooke’s House because of a cup of coffee. The sales display cases are filled with an assortment of confections including fudge, covered pretzels, truffles, nonpareils, peppermint bark, drizzled popcorn and dipped Oreos. "We believe it's very valuable and important and a big part of the sustainability of Brooke's House, and (a way) to procure the best opportunity possible for the women that come through this program," Varner said.

The RJC is gearing up to spend upward of $15 million in what will be the largest targeted effort toward the Jewish community in critical battleground states across the country to help elect President Trump and help elect the Republican Senate and expand our majorities in the House. The Bar and Library are extensions of the Club, featuring light-filled atriums is an outdoor space for eating and drinking, with the Bar at the heart of the space serving house tonics and other menu favorites. Offering shelter and comfort for disabled veterans, the SIX breaks the prescriptive mold of the traditional shelter by creating public and private "zones" in which private space is deemphasized, in favor of personal and group social spaces.

Eric George Goold came to St. George News from southwestern Colorado, where he was a radio news reporter. He graduated with a master's degree in English from Kansas State University and writes nonfiction as well. Goold has been published in Sunstone Magazine and has done multiple public readings about local history. The Soho House art collection is one of the largest private collections of its kind, with over 6,000 artworks on permanent display in Soho Houses around the world.

The woman told the officers that a suspect, later identified as Templeton, tailgated her, threw a bottle at her vehicle, and pointed a firearm at the vehicle while her children were inside. This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. Brooks Hampton Templeton was arrested on April 16 and charged with assault and battery in the first degree and his bond was set for $30,000, which was posted on the same day. The affidavit, signed April 9, alleges Templeton, on the night of Jan. 12, following a verbal altercation at a gathering on Haddrell Street, knocked the victim to the ground and struck him in the head numerous times. We have in the past gone after people like [former Republican presidential candidate] Pat Buchanan, [former Louisiana state representative] David Duke.

The ridicule could escalate Saturday, when Biden is scheduled to give a speech at the White House correspondents' dinner. In his speech, the president is likely to slam Trump with variations of some of his recent zingers. As Trump has been stuck in a courtroom in recent days, Biden has been polishing a new comedy routine in which his predecessor is repeatedly the butt of the joke.

Neutral-toned velvet and patterned fabrics line the space, and large doorways connect the inside with the Bar. This marks the second time Templeton has been arrested for aggressive behavior. The groups were then separated and the victim began walking down the street to their vehicle. We’re waiting to see how New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan rules on Trump’s gag order and how Thursday’s appeals court ruling overturning Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 sex-crimes conviction affects this case. Trump’s legal team will continue cross-examining former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker when the former president’s criminal trial resumes today. Pecker testified Thursday that Trump cared more about how negative stories could hurt his electoral chances than about how his family would be affected.

An integral part of Soho House’s identity, the collection plays a key role in engaging with the creative community and feature work by museum – level artists alongside younger and more emerging talent. Built in 1871, the Brooks House is an iconic building that has played a pivotal role in Brattleboro’s history. Located at the corner of Main Street (Rt. 5) and High Street (Rt. 9) in downtown, it was one of the premier hotels in New England and possibly the largest Second Empire building outside of New York City.

Hidden away from the bustling nearby streets, the House has a club level that features a vaulted ceiling restaurant, with lounge seating spilling out to the courtyard bar, built to ensure the outdoor spaces are an extension of the indoors. It’s also home to an impressive art collection that brings together a collection of artists, all of whom are age 40 or under and local to Los Angeles, as well as courtyard bar and rooftop. Over the past few decades, in a surge of bipartisan national self-confidence, the federal government has borrowed a lot of money, sometimes in response to national emergencies and sometimes to do the things people thought were worth doing. We gave ourselves permission to incur all this debt because interest rates were low and many people assumed that things would stay that way, so the costs of carrying that much debt wouldn’t be too onerous. Sometimes donated items that Brooke’s House doesn't need are too good to throw away, so that led to offering them for sale through the thrift store that now occupies a large space at 1001 Maryland Ave. in the other end of the shopping center from the coffee and chocolates shop. According to the affidavit, a woman contacted the police department on Sept. 4, 2023, about a road rage incident at the traffic light at the intersection of South Shelmore and Johnnie Dodds Boulevard.

According to The Wall Street Journal, America is expected to spend $870 billion, or 3.1 percent of gross domestic product, this year on interest payments on the federal debt. According to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, the government will spend more on interest payments than on the entire defense budget. Within three years, if interest rates remain high, payments on the debt could become the federal government’s second-largest expenditure, behind Social Security. I think that this is something that's going to have significant resonance in the Jewish community come November.
