Here are the top stories today in Cleveland:

1. A Maple Heights resident on Tuesday became the first person convicted of federal charges stemming from the May 30, 2020 riots in downtown Cleveland. 20-year-old Timothy Goodner pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit arson for his attempts to help burn a parking attendant's booth on West 3rd Street. Goodner was one of thousands of people downtown for what began as a peaceful demonstration over the death of George Floyd; the protests later turned violent as police and protesters clashed outside the Justice Center.

2. For 30 long days, police departments across Northeast Ohio have been pretty hairy with more than a dozen participating in "No Shave No Trim WishVember" – a campaign to help benefit A Special Wish Foundation's Cleveland chapter. The organization helps raise money to help grant wishes for local kids who are battling life-threatening diseases and illnesses. During their efforts, more than $31,000 was raised throughout the last month among the 15 local police departments. (WKYC.com)
3. This Hanukkah season, local Jewish leaders are shining a light on antisemitism in Northeast Ohio. (News 5 Cleveland)
4. Just ahead of Giving Tuesday, the Cleveland Youth Compassion Tour rallied kids to give back to the community. (Spectrum News 1)
5. A Cleveland Heights man is demanding that the city restore the guardrail in front of his Fairmount Boulevard home after a high-speed police chase ended with the suspect crashing into his house. (News 5 Cleveland)
