1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.919
Kalaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Johnny Mack with five good news stories.
2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.679
So there's Alvin. He's a postal
carrier, he's a work in his root.
3
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:17.920
He's going about his business and he's
like, hey, what's this.
4
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:22.359
It's a Christmas card sent in nineteen
forty four and it's in a hamper.
5
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:26.879
He went through the rest of the
bin. There were several other loose letters
6
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.839
written between nineteen forty two and forty
four, all of which were signed by
7
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:36.159
Marion Lamb. They also found a
tattered envelope postmarked nineteen forty two and addressed
8
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:41.920
to mister and Missus Harvey Lamb Jacksonville, Arkansas, was stamped US Army Postal
9
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:45.200
Service, which I'm just going to
go out on a limb here. Not
10
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.399
too reliable. It's almost been eighty
years and these letters have been sitting in
11
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:53.000
a bin somewhere. Alvin said,
I had no idea where they came from.
12
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.719
He decided to find the family.
He searched online. He found Marion
13
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.200
Lamb's a bit from twenty ten.
He decided to look for relative. He
14
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.000
reached out to the local news station. They ran a story. Minutes after
15
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:08.560
the story aired, Joanne, who's
Marion Lamb's sister who lives in Jacksonville,
16
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.480
started getting phone calls. Joanne,
who's eighty four, is said, I
17
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.120
was shocked. She was surprised to
learn of the eight letters penned by her
18
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.680
brother and addressed to their parents.
She was deeply touched that Alvin took the
19
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.319
time to track her down right away. She reached out to thank him.
20
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.200
They had a long phone call.
She says, he's just a caring,
21
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.799
giving, wonderful person. Congratulations to
David. He has recaptured one of his
22
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.359
Guinness World records. He has inserted
two hundred and forty three thumb tacks into
23
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.879
a corkboard in one minute. He
has held this record twice. Previously,
24
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:42.439
he was setting out to break the
record of one hundred and ninety one a
25
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.760
tax in one minute. I'm no
expert here, but it sounds to me
26
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.040
like he shattered it, taking the
record from one ninety one to two forty
27
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.760
three. That's more than four tacks
per second. This makes David's one hundred
28
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:59.640
and sixty eighth concurrently held a Guinness
World record. He's trying to overtake Silvio.
29
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:04.120
Silvio holds one hundred and eighty titles. Hey, which one of you
30
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.359
is in the fridge right now?
Making a lot of us. Oh it's
31
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:10.080
a bear. Yes, a brown
bear was caught poking around Chris's garage.
32
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.680
This was caught on video. In
the video, the bear opens the refrigerator
33
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.599
and frees your doors, and much
like all of us, it's looking out.
34
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.120
Is there anything here to eat?
How come we don't have any food?
35
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.280
The back of the fridge is full, but there's nothing I want to
36
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.400
eat. The bear was then startled
by the garage door closing. The bear
37
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.639
dorts out of the garage, but
he is not discouraged. He came back
38
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:36.000
and got another fridge again. What
did he pick? A slice of watermelon?
39
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.439
And he walked across the driveway and
started eating it. All right,
40
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:43.800
it is time to bring back the
bison. Why. A new study shows
41
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:47.520
that a single herd of bison has
the potential to store fifty four thousand tons
42
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:54.879
of carbon in a year. Scientist
Oswald Schmidtz tells us bison influenced grassland and
43
00:02:54.919 --> 00:03:00.879
force ecosystems by greazing grasslands evenly recycling
nutrients to fertilize the soil. You know
44
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:06.680
what that means and all of its
life disperse succeeds to enrich the ecosystem and
45
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.639
compacting the soil to prevent stored carbon
from being released. These bison evolved from
46
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.719
millions of years with grassland and force
ecosystems, and their removal, especially where
47
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.240
grasslands have been plowed up, has
led to the release of vast amounts of
48
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:23.080
carbon. Restoring these ecosystems can bring
back balance and Wow. Listen to what
49
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:29.280
Lilian did. Lilian taught in the
local school for sixty seven years, retired
50
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:34.319
at age eighty nine. In her
will, she left the school one million
51
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.360
dollars. She was known by generations
of students as Miss Oh. She passed
52
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.599
away in March. The one million
dollar donation was paid to Spark, an
53
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.439
education foundation for the PW County schools. It'll be used to expand a scholarship
54
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:51.120
that she had set up with Spark
after retiring six years ago. These school
55
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:55.919
superintendent said, Lilian Orlich's devotion to
this community is unprecedented because she dedicated her
56
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.120
life's work over the course of the
last three quarters of a century investing and
57
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.039
our future leaders. She's described as
a true Prince William County legend. The
58
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:08.000
footprint she's left in her hearts and
minds can never be raised, and her
59
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.479
legacy lives on in the lives of
the students and the staff she impacted.
60
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.400
She passed away at age ninety five, and a memorial service was held for
61
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.800
her at Osborne Park High School in
the auditorium named after her. And those
62
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:23.000
are your five good news stories for
today. If you would like this program
