SUMMARY: New owners of the Mayflower Cafe in Brooklyn plan to reopen the historic restaurant with the same old flavor and charm that customers have loved for over 80 years. Hunter Evans and Cody McCain, owners of the well-known restaurant Elvies, are refurbishing the cafe with their own hands to preserve its iconic atmosphere. The menu will highlight seafood dishes such as oyster fling, shrimp fest, and catch of the day. They aim to continue the legacy of the Mayflower Cafe and hope to create a spark in Jackson's downtown area. The restaurant is set to open for dine-in by the end of the summer.

The Mayflower Cafe now has new owners, and they may look familiar.

SUMMARY: This content is sponsored by Edaa Community College and focuses on the need for EMTs and paramedics in emergencies. EMTs are the first responders in medical emergencies and have limitations in the types of medical procedures they can perform compared to paramedics. The shortage of paramedics is a concern, but programs like the one offered at ITW Community College aim to train the next generation of professionals. The hands-on training includes simulators that replicate real-world situations, teaching students important life-saving skills. Building relationships with patients is emphasized as a key aspect of the job. Overall, the focus is on caring for people in need.

WTVA's Michelle Martin shows us how and why paramedics do what they do for their community in this week's Skilled to Work.
