Owner Frank Garcia cooked up the tradition of feeding those in need a hot Thanksgiving meal. Veronica Garcia, Frank's daughter said, her dad started the tradition 39 years ago because he's a giving person. The We Give Thanks meal first fed about 3,000 people but it's evolved into a massive event at the Honda Center feeding up to 15,000. "It is an honor to say that that's my dad and he's a blessing to us." Ahead of the feast's milestone 40th anniversary the Garcia Family announced on social media they would stop hosting the community meal due to health reasons. Veronica said, "It's very important for us to take care of my parents right now." She said Frank is in need of a surgery and her mom, Sylvia, recently suffered a medical emergency. "We almost lost her and it's so hard to see what she's going through," Veronica said. "She was in the hospital for seven weeks. We brought her home on Monday." Loyal customers like Cheryl Melugin said the holiday meal has helped thousands and it will be missed. "I hope somebody else steps in and does this because I just feel for all the people that rely on his food, his everything," Melugin said. "Now it's time for them to be together and them to be a family and have that love and support in the family." The Garcia Family believes after nearly four decades it's time to pass the torch to someone else. "I think it's time for my dad and my mom to just relax and enjoy," Veronica said. Even though they're focused on family this year the Garcia's still plan to help the community in a different way. They're helping sponsor a turkey giveaway this weekend and another event on Thanksgiving Day.

It didn’t take much to stir Jack Eichel’s national pride in looking ahead to representing the United States at the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament . Appearing on a Team USA Zoom call on Thursday, the Vegas Golden Knights forward jumped right in when reminded how U.S. teams featuring NHL players competing in best-on-best international tournaments haven’t won a gold medal since the 1996 World Cup of Hockey series. “I’ll take it,” Eichel interjected after Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy apologized for not hearing the question. “I think there’s a lot to prove for us as USA Hockey,” Eichel said. “I think for a while it was Canada on a pedestal by themselves. And I think for us, we feel like we’ve closed that gap. And I think this is a great opportunity to prove that.” From the Boston area, Eichel supported his case by referring to the growing pool of American talent that’s entered the NHL though the U.S. national development program over the past decade. And that’s reflected in how a majority of the U.S. team’s 23-player roster is made up of USNDP alumni, Eichel included. “Obviously, we feel very confident in our group and the names on our roster,” Eichel said. “But that’s only half the battle. You’ve got to go out there and do it. And we’re excited for that opportunity.” The 4 Nations Face-Off was unveiled last All-Star Weekend. It splits NHL players from Canada, Finland, Sweden and the U.S. into four teams, replacing the All-Star Game format this season. Eichel’s comments came a day after the nations unveiled their entire rosters to compete in the NHL/NHL Players' Association-backed tournament being split between Montreal and Boston and running from Feb. 12-20. Though talented, the Americans have lacked success at the senior international level. The U.S. last medaled at the world championships by winning bronze in 2021, and hasn’t placed better than third since 1960 at Squaw Valley, which also doubled as the Winter Games. The Americans' last Olympic gold came with amateurs competing at the 1980 Lake Placid Games, since dubbed the “Miracle On Ice,” while winning silver medals with NHL players in 2002 and 2010 — both times losing to Canada. And then there was 1996, when goalie Mike Richter earned World Cup MVP honors in helping the Americans beat Canada in a decisive Game 3 of the final series. “I think we check every box there is,” McAvoy said. “I think the confidence amongst us in our group should be sky high.” The U.S. team’s brain trust, headed by Wild GM Bill Guerin and Penguins coach Mike Sullivan, prioritized experience over potential in filling out the 17 remaining roster spots. Forwards Chris Kreider, of the Rangers, and Brock Nelson, of the Islanders, are the oldest players on the team at age 33, and have extensive world championships experience. The youngest player is also the only one with Olympic experience: 22-year-old Minnesota defenseman Brock Faber, who played at the Beijing Games in 2022 when the NHL pulled out because of pandemic-related scheduling issues. They’ll go up against a talent-laden Team Canada that features forwards Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon and defenseman Cale Makar. The U.S. team is particularly strong down the middle with Eichel, Auston Matthews and Dylan Larkin. Another strength is in net with a trio led by two-time Vezina Trophy-winner Connor Hellebuyck and rounded out by Jake Oettinger and Jeremy Swayman. USA Hockey has enjoyed its most success in winning two of the past four world junior championships and six since 2004. Four Nations teammates McAvoy, Oettinger and defenseman Adam Fox were members of the U.S. team that won the 2017 world junior title. Team Canada officials also went with a veteran-laden group, featuring 14 players who have won at least one Stanley Cup title. “You can’t put a price tag on experience,” Canada and Lightning coach Jon Cooper said Thursday. “I truly believe this is a tournament where you’re basically playing three Game 7s (in the preliminary round). ... There’s no real margin for error," he added. “This is as competitive a group as you will find. Every one of these players will lay in traffic for their country." ___ The Canadian Press contributed to this story. ___ AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl John Wawrow, The Associated Press

Earlier this year, the federal government flagged it plans to require businesses to accept cash as payment for essentials. But as cash use continues to decline, its role in the flow of money is becoming more niche. Here's what to know about where cash use currently stands in Australia. Weren't businesses already required to accept cash? There's a common misconception that all businesses operating in Australia must accept cash because it's legal tender. That's not the case. According to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission , current laws allow businesses to choose which payment types they accept. But it notes vendors should be upfront with customers if they choose to go cashless. So what does legal tender actually mean? The Macquarie Dictionary defines it as "currency which may be lawfully tendered or offered in payment of money debts and which may not be refused by creditors". In practice, that means businesses are allowed to set the commercial terms of payment before a contract is entered into. The Reserve Bank of Australia says if a business "specifies other means of payment prior to the contract, then there is usually no obligation for legal tender to be accepted as payment". But if other means of settlement weren't specified in advance, cash can't be refused as payment of an existing debt. Is cash going to be around much longer? The use of cash has been steadily declining in recent decades. In 2022, cash made up just 13 per cent of in-person transactions , compared with almost 70 per cent in 2007. A look at the age of cash users can give us more of a glimpse at where its usage will head in the future, too. The 2022 Consumer Payment Survey found cash use is highest among older Australians. Of the respondents aged over 65, 18 per cent were considered high cash users — that is, those who use cash for at least 80 per cent of their in-person transactions. That rate drops substantially among younger demographics, where only three per cent of those aged under 50 were found to be high cash users . The data also suggested improved digital payment infrastructure has contributed to the trend. Concerns about some merchants only accepting cash, payments to friends and poor internet access were less present among respondents in 2022 compared with just three years prior. The survey's findings indicate there's still room for the trend to continue downward as young Australians shirk shrapnel and digital payments become increasingly accessible. In June 2023, Peter Martin, a visiting fellow at the Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University, wrote that pure data extrapolation suggests cash has "less than a decade to go" but will "probably hang around for longer" as a back-up that maintains privacy. Is there still a need for cash? Yes. One of the biggest arguments for maintaining cash payment options is its role during outages. Physical notes and coins can act as a back-up during weather events or technology failures, like the global CrowdStrike outage, that take payment networks offline. A spokesperson for the Reserve Bank of Australia added that in addition to acting as a fallback payment option, "cash remains an important means of payment for some people and is widely held for precautionary or store-of-wealth purposes". "For these reasons, the RBA places a high priority on the community continuing to have reasonable access to cash withdrawal and deposit services." Are businesses allowed to charge debit card surcharges? While it's legal for businesses to add a surcharge to debit card transactions, the rules could be about to change. In October, the federal government announced $2.1 billion in funding for the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to tackle excessive surcharges. The government also flagged it would be willing to ban the fees altogether from January 1, 2026, subject to further work from the Reserve Bank of Australia. Debit card surcharges are where a business adds a small fee to an item or service's cost if a customer pays with an electronic payment — that is, through EFTPOS. That extra charge is designed to cover the cost of processing the payment. While debit card surcharges are currently legal in Australia, there are numerous countries where that's not the case. Australian Banking Association chief executive Anna Bligh is supportive of reviewing the laws around surcharges as cash becomes increasingly obsolete. "I very much welcome this review because the rules are 20 years old," she told 6PR in October . "If you think about it, 20 years ago, most of us, the only card we used was a credit card. "The world has changed. It's unrecognisable since the rules were made, and it's well overdue that we had a really good look at this."
