Convenience Big Store: From homeless to the NFL: Antioch's Najee Harris' incredible story

Antioch running back Najee Harris went from homeless to Alabama to the NFL – Many high school football players one day dream of hearing their names called in the NFL draft. And for Antioch's Najee Harris, that dream became a reality when he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers as the 24th overall pick on Thursday. But his path wasn't easy. To say that Harris had humble beginnings might be an understatement. When he arrived at Antioch High School as a freshman in 2013, he was homeless and temporarily living at a Motel 6 close to campus. When the school staff and coaches found out about his situation, they provided support and resources to help him. "He had every reason and every excuse to fail, and he did not let that happen," John Lucido, Harris' former coach and current Antioch head football coach, said. "He could have went down a different road." (Kevin John, ABC10)

What is the shelf life for the Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines? – With more Americans getting vaccinated each day, attention has turned to the shelf life of COVID vaccines as appointments in some places go unused. According to the CDC, the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines both can last up to six months if they’re stored properly. The Pfizer vaccines, however, require ultra-cold storage – about -158 degrees Fahrenheit – to last that long. The single-dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine, on the other hand, doesn’t require ultra-freezing temperatures to store. (Matthew Nuttle, ABC10)

New brick-and-mortar bookstore and coffee shop opening in Elk Grove – A new bookstore in Elk Grove hopes to be a place in town where adults can be adults and kids can just be kids. “We noticed a couple years ago that there’s no bookstore and coffee shop, but we think that our community could really use one and enjoy one,” said Emily Autenrieth, owner of A Seat at the Table. One of the key elements for the new store is a sense of community for everyone and anyone. The bookshop would have a wide range of literature for all ages, a coffee shop with Temple coffee, and a play area for kids. (Eric Escalante, ABC10)
