00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.400
Callaroga Shark Media. Hi, there, I'm Chunning Mack with five

2
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:12.199
good news stories. There's a five year old boy in

3
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:16.920
New Jersey who's really into Jimmy Carter. His mother, Laura

4
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:20.160
surprised him with a Jimmy Carter themed at birthday party,

5
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.399
complete with Carter for President memorabilia, a life sized cardboard cutout,

6
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:29.600
and birthday cake frosted with President Carter's likeness. Why. Laurence

7
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.839
said this all started on President's Day when the boy

8
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.000
was three. She showed him a chart of all the

9
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.560
presidents to have ever lived, and the boy liked Jimmy Carter.

10
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:40.320
Mom says he just loved how much he help people.

11
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:42.840
He loved that he built houses for habitat for humanity,

12
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:44.920
and he wants to build houses when he grows up.

13
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:47.159
One of the questions they often get is are you

14
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:51.840
from Georgia. No, We're from New Jersey, speaking about building houses.

15
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.920
The Veterans Community Project broke round on its sixth tiny

16
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.600
home village, this time in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to offer military

17
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:02.479
veterans a fresh start. Each two hundred and forty square

18
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.000
foot home is part of a larger community designed to

19
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.680
help residents regain stability and independence. So far, twenty nine

20
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:12.000
veterans have quote unquote graduated from a VCP tiny home

21
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.879
into their own permanent housing, and dozens of veterans have

22
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.480
been welcomed into the six tiny home communities and are

23
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:21.040
now working with on site case managers for assistants. These

24
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.760
six villages are in Glendale, Arizona, and Kansas City, Missouri, Longmont,

25
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:28.560
Colorado's to Fall South Dakota, Saint Louis, Missouri, and now Milwaukee,

26
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.439
Wisconsin now to bring the total to two hundred and

27
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:35.319
forty homes. The homes are built on foundations connected to city.

28
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.239
Utilities include a full kitchen, bath, and living area. The

29
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:40.799
VCP says the rooms are arranged in a barrack style

30
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.719
layout that feels familiar and safe. Chalice gave Bert's who

31
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.680
Baby Boy Ace at the Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oaklawn, Illinois,

32
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.159
where partner Denzel took the opportunity to ask a big

33
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.319
question and Ace helped share the message. In footage of

34
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.120
the proposals, nurses dressed Ace in his first outfit, brinted

35
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.959
on the onesie is the question, Mommy, we married daddy?

36
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.959
There's a video. Mom looks a little confused, then she

37
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.840
notices Dad kneeling beside her holding a ring. She says, oh,

38
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.719
my god. Yes. The couple first met when they were

39
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.560
students in high school near Chicago. They lost touch after

40
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:18.719
he and his family moved away, but they met up

41
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.319
again after their mutual friends reintroduced them. Dad says, since

42
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.000
she came back in my life, I knew I wanted

43
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:26.879
to marry her. Nice job by e Or the dog

44
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:29.759
tell you what Eor did. But back in twenty nineteen,

45
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:31.840
e Or had been hit by a car and taken

46
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.680
to the local rescue in Pensacola with a badly broken leg.

47
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.199
The organization decided to pay for an expensive surgery to

48
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.439
repair the bone. Well fast forward to modern times. An

49
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.280
elderly man called the sheriff's office. His wife was missing.

50
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.960
She'd been out walking e or Eor now belongs to

51
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.639
the woman's son. Thirty minutes went by, then an hour

52
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.280
and she hadn't returned. The man told the police, she

53
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:56.240
never takes more than ten to fifteen minutes. It's almost

54
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.560
an hour now. The police went back out and they

55
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.039
found e Or. The deputy he said to e Or, hey,

56
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.199
where's your mom? Or seemed to understand the command and

57
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:06.520
led the officers across the yard passed a house onto

58
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.400
a golf course. There the woman was lying on the sidewalk.

59
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:11.639
The eighty six year old woman was in the middle

60
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:15.199
of a medical emergency, though alert and conscious. Deputy Miller

61
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.560
said that e or guided her the whole way. There.

62
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:19.439
I was in front of that house, and then the

63
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.719
dog ran up to me. Deputy Miller told you, you're

64
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.319
such a good boy, and good news. We found your cow.

65
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.120
Did you lose a cow in a Pennsylvania highway? It

66
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.280
was successfully roped by a man on horseback, but no

67
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.919
one knows whose cow it is. This happened on I

68
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.599
seventy nine near Cranberry Township. Kyle heard there was a

69
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.879
loose cow. He offered his services to local authorities. He

70
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.159
jumped on his horse. Guess what his horse's name is? Wrong?

71
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:48.199
The horse's name is, of course Highway. Love the details

72
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.000
and all these stories, Kyle told local TV. The crew

73
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:52.840
is there. The traffic stopped, and we sat there for

74
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.599
a little bit and kind of assessed the situation and

75
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:56.360
let the cow relax a little bit and hang out.

76
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:58.599
Then I rode right up and roped her and took

77
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.120
her over to the trailer. The state police check with

78
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:03.759
local farmers, but no one's missing a cow. So if

79
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.120
you're missing a cow in Pennsylvania, call the cops. Knowse

80
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.000
your five good news stories for to day, have a

81
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:09.400
good one.
