CONCORD, N.C. (WBTV) -
News release from the City of Concord: To honor the life of Concord Police Officer Jason Shuping the Concord City Council recently
approved a $100,000 budget amendment to fund a new Fallen Officer Memorial. The City also filed necessary state and federal paperwork to establish a new nonprofit Concord Police Foundation to assist officers who are injured or killed in the line of duty and their families.
As the nation approaches 500,000 lives lost to COVID-19, Dr. Ron Elfenbien, medical director and owner of First Call Medical Center, joined CBSN to discuss the grim milestone.
It’s instructive to begin on 7th Avenue and Washington Street in Eugene on any given winter evening.
From that starting point, walk the windy asphalt trail through Washington/Jefferson Park. You see them instantly tarps and tents by the layered dozens, each containing stories of homeless men and women who are holding threads of dignity.
The tarps and tents are properly spaced (a nod to COVID-19), but they are everywhere under the viaducts of the Washington/Jefferson area, or those areas that the city of Eugene has not walled off.
Walk slowly. Absorb it.
Then walk north, over a gentle embankment and past more emergency shelters, and you find young basketball players and younger skateboarders testing their skills. Beyond that, you’ll find a collective of social workers handing out hot chili and clothing donations.
