Bear in the Fridge

0:03 Kalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. So there's Alvin. He's a postal carrier, he's a work in his root. He's going about his business and he's like, hey, what's this. It's a Christmas card sent in nineteen forty four and it's in a hamper. He went through the rest of the bin. There were several other loose letters written between nineteen forty two and forty four, all of which were signed by Marion Lamb. They also found a tattered envelope postmarked nineteen forty two and addressed to mister and Missus Harvey Lamb Jacksonville, Arkansas, was stamped US Army Postal Service, which I'm just going to go out on a limb here. Not too reliable. It's almost been eighty years and these letters have been sitting in a bin somewhere. Alvin said, I had no idea where they came from.

0:53 He decided to find the family. He searched online. He found Marion Lamb's a bit from twenty ten. He decided to look for relative. He reached out to the local news station. They ran a story. Minutes after the story aired, Joanne, who's Marion Lamb's sister who lives in Jacksonville, started getting phone calls. Joanne, who's eighty four, is said, I was shocked. She was surprised to learn of the eight letters penned by her brother and addressed to their parents. She was deeply touched that Alvin took the time to track her down right away. She reached out to thank him. They had a long phone call. She says, he's just a caring, giving, wonderful person. Congratulations to David. He has recaptured one of his Guinness World records. He has inserted two hundred and forty three thumb tacks into a corkboard in one minute. He has held this record twice. Previously, he was setting out to break the record of one hundred and ninety one a tax in one minute. I'm no expert here, but it sounds to me like he shattered it, taking the record from one ninety one to two forty three. That's more than four tacks per second. This makes David's one hundred and sixty eighth concurrently held a Guinness World record. He's trying to overtake Silvio.

2:00 Silvio holds one hundred and eighty titles. Hey, which one of you is in the fridge right now? Making a lot of us. Oh it's a bear. Yes, a brown bear was caught poking around Chris's garage. This was caught on video. In the video, the bear opens the refrigerator and frees your doors, and much like all of us, it's looking out. Is there anything here to eat? How come we don't have any food? The back of the fridge is full, but there's nothing I want to eat. The bear was then startled by the garage door closing. The bear dorts out of the garage, but he is not discouraged. He came back and got another fridge again. What did he pick? A slice of watermelon? And he walked across the driveway and started eating it. All right, it is time to bring back the bison. Why. A new study shows that a single herd of bison has the potential to store fifty four thousand tons of carbon in a year. Scientist Oswald Schmidtz tells us bison influenced grassland and force ecosystems by greazing grasslands evenly recycling nutrients to fertilize the soil. You know what that means and all of its life disperse succeeds to enrich the ecosystem and compacting the soil to prevent stored carbon from being released. These bison evolved from millions of years with grassland and force ecosystems, and their removal, especially where grasslands have been plowed up, has led to the release of vast amounts of carbon. Restoring these ecosystems can bring back balance and Wow. Listen to what Lilian did. Lilian taught in the local school for sixty seven years, retired at age eighty nine. In her will, she left the school one million

3:34 dollars. She was known by generations of students as Miss Oh. She passed away in March. The one million dollar donation was paid to Spark, an education foundation for the PW County schools. It'll be used to expand a scholarship that she had set up with Spark after retiring six years ago. These school superintendent said, Lilian Orlich's devotion to this community is unprecedented because she dedicated her life's work over the course of the last three quarters of a century investing and our future leaders. She's described as a true Prince William County legend. The footprint she's left in her hearts and minds can never be raised, and her legacy lives on in the lives of the students and the staff she impacted. She passed away at age ninety five, and a memorial service was held for her at Osborne Park High School in the auditorium named after her. And those are your five good news stories for today.
