  Four rapes rock California college in the first three weeks of semester Four rapes have been reported at Cal State San Marcos since the start of September, with each incident involving people who knew one another, according to the university. The reports were made on four separate dates and involved three locations: The Quad on Sept. 5 and Sept. 18, University Village Apartments on Sept. 6 and Black Oak Hall on Sept. 13. Jerry McCormick, a spokesperson for Cal State San Marcos, confirmed the reports to the California Post and said the four incidents are not believed to be connected. In each case, McCormick said, the individuals involved knew one another. “Sexual assault is never acceptable and is never the survivor’s fault. Consent must be affirmative, voluntary and ongoing,” McCormick said in a statement. “It cannot be assumed because people know one another or have an existing relationship, and a person who is incapacitated cannot consent.” The university notified students, fac...

 Navy Veteran and Lung Cancer Survivor, 85, Delivers Food for Uber Eats 5 Days a Week to Cover Medical Bills


An 85-year-old Navy veteran who survived lung cancer has opened up about why he returned to work in his later years, revealing that mounting medical bills forced him out of retirement.


Herbert “Bert” Coffen now spends several days a week delivering meals for Uber Eats, often with his wife Rae by his side, as the couple tries to stay afloat financially.


Bert, who lives in Lee County, Florida, said he has been working for the delivery service for more than a year. While he once worked five days a week, his health has since forced him to cut back to three or four days.


On a good week, he says the earnings are modest.


“I make close to $100, $150 on a week, if it’s a good week,” he shared.


The veteran explained that he and his wife had hoped to enjoy a peaceful retirement after relocating, but repeated health expenses slowly eroded the savings they had built over the years.


“We had our retirement, came down here,” Bert said. “We were going to leave the place free and clear, and one thing after another, one medical bill and another medical bill, and it just started chipping away at the money we had.”


In addition to battling lung cancer, Bert has also undergone hip replacement surgery. His wife, Rae, 81, is currently receiving treatment for a heart condition and is also living with early-stage dementia.


Faced with rising costs, Bert said working for Uber Eats became a necessity.


“Uber’s saving me to a degree,” he said. “It’s prolonging the inevitable, but it’s better than nothing. I just can’t sit here and do nothing.”


The work has not been without its own challenges. Bert recently suffered a fall while climbing stairs during a delivery, leaving him with two black eyes.


Meanwhile, Rae was reportedly admitted to hospital again recently as she continues treatment for her heart issues.
