PHILADELPHIA - The United States is expanding efforts to help Ukrainian refugees. It has agreed to accept up to 100,000 people escaping from the war and to increase support for Eastern European nations that have taken in most of the people fleeing Russian forces.While in Brussels to meet with European allies, President Joe Biden said the United States would admit up to 100,000 Ukrainian refugees and provide $1 billion in humanitarian assistance to countries affected by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.The financial support is important because most of the approximately 3.6 million refugees who have fled Ukraine are in neighboring countries such as Poland, Moldova, and Romania and are posing a substantial burden."This is not something that Poland or Romania or Germany should carry on their own," said Biden, who said he hopes to meet with refugees on his European trip. "This is an international responsibility."A Delaware County bartender is hosting "Cocktails with a Cause" to help raise money for Ukraine refugees who continue to flee their homeland in record numbers.

Sam Whitaker connected with a Ukrainian web designer and her young daughter days before Russia launched its full scale invasion.Among the first Ukrainians refugee coming to the U.S.

will be those who have family already in the United States, Biden said at a news conference. The administration did not provide a timeline, but it’s typically a lengthy process and the officials said all 100,000 may not necessarily arrive this year.

Spikes in catalytic converter thefts make for a long, costly repair

PHILADELPHIA - Catalytic converter thefts are up in Philadelphia since last year, according to police. The recent spike in thefts combined with supply chain issues and worker shortages, is making for a long wait time at the shop and an expensive bill for victims of catalytic converter theft. Authorities say there were more than 3,400 thefts in 2021 and now in 2022, there has been more than 1,300 so far. Depending on the car you own, local auto repair shops say that it could take a month or longer to get the necessary car parts in. Mike Schafer, owner of Schafer’s Auto in South Philadelphia, says that in his 21 years of running the auto shop, he’s never seen anything like what’s been happening recently—6 to 13 cut catalytic converters a week from mostly Mitsubishis, Hondas, and Toyota Priuses."Three days, one month, 3 months wait time for them [parts] to come in," Schafer said.

Trustees pass indoor masking requirement for Thames Valley District School Board Under the now-approved motion, staff, students and visitors must all wear a mask while inside TVDSB buildings “until such time as Public Health Ontario updates this guidance or the Local Public Health Units in TVDSB explicitly advise otherwise.”“Students will not be required to submit medical documentation for exemptions,” the motion added.In an email to Global News on Wednesday morning, a spokesperson for TVDSB said administration is meeting “to discuss how the Trustee motion can be operationalized in schools and TVDSB buildings.”“Once final decisions have been made after meeting with the Ministry of Education, clear communications around next steps will be shared with TVDSB staff and families,” the spokesperson added.Questions surrounding the enforceability of the requirement emerged during Tuesday night’s meeting, during which TVDSB general legal counsel Ali Chahbar responded that the board lost its enforcement mechanism once the province lifted mask mandates in schools on March 21.

What is 420 Day and where did it originate? Your questions answered

what is 420 Day and where did it originate?According to National Day Calendar, 420 Day is celebrated every year on April 20, where cannabis producers, consumers and advocates celebrate and smoke marijuana. "Once an unconventional day, the day has become the rallying cry of those who seek to legalize marijuana for medicinal and recreational uses," the company wrote.A cannabis plant grows in the Amsterdam Cannabis Colleges (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images) While federal law in the United States still classifies cannabis as illegal, many states have legalized the substance for medicinal or recreational use — or both.Since the 1970s, people have celebrated the unofficial holiday. But why is it celebrated on 4/20 and where did the celebration originate?Well, it’s not exactly clear. There are many myths that have circulated across social media and the globe about how the day 4/20 came to be, with most reports proving unverifiable.
