00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.560
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
Shoinny Mack with five good news stories.
2
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:14.320
I don't know about where you are, but it's been a beautiful week where
3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:18.079
I am so I took the recording
equipment outside today, So if you hear
4
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:23.600
birds and planes, landscapers, that's
why. What a gorgeous day. I'm
5
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:26.399
here with my puppy. We're enjoying
it. And one thing you won't hear
6
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.359
are cicadas. They have not hit
my local area yet. I know a
7
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.800
lot of you are dealing with the
cicadas. And good news for the crew
8
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:36.119
at the Morton, a Britum,
they had a rare blue eyed cicada.
9
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.640
They showed off the blue eyed cicada
to a few people visiting the arboretum,
10
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.560
then they released it back into the
wilds. You joined its red eyed relatives
11
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.719
where told the blue eyed cicada headed
up to a tree. Floyd Shockley,
12
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:52.399
great name, is the collections manager
at the Department of Entomology at the Simithsonian.
13
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.439
He said, blue eyed cicadas are
rare, but they're not sure how
14
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.920
rare because it's impossible to estimate how
rare because you'd have to collect all the
15
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:03.240
cicadas to know what percentage of the
population had the blue eyed mutation. Can't
16
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.799
we sample I'm not a scientist.
Good news for some Red Sox fan you
17
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.120
see, over the last few years, the Stop and Shop food pantry has
18
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:14.159
provided one hundred thousand dollars in food
donations to make sure students don't come to
19
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:19.000
school hungary. Red Sox first baseman
Tristan Kasas showed up at a ceremony to
20
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.519
honor the five year anniversary of Stoppin
Shop's food pantry. Tristan surprised the kids
21
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.359
and itsire staff with five hundred tickets
to a Red Sox game at Fenwade Park.
22
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.719
He said, we want to invite
all you guys to go to a
23
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:32.920
game this year. He took photos
with everybody and you know who else was
24
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:38.040
there, Wally the Green Monster,
the team's mascot. Stoppin'hops Jennifer Barr says
25
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.000
they now have two hundred and thirty
five in school food pantries across five states
26
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.599
in the Northeast. Coasa's complimented the
kids. He found out forty two of
27
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.959
them have perfect attendance. Chester the
Dog has a new job. He's not
28
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.560
gonna be fighting fires, but he
is working for the Libertyville Fire Department.
29
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.840
He's an eight month old Springer Spaniel. He's trained to facilitate emotional therapeutic and
30
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.280
coup for it supportive department employees.
He made his way to the fire department
31
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:07.719
from Canines for comfort. Fire Chief
Mike Pocosta said, you can't help but
32
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.680
love him. Chester joins Elwood,
who's a one year old Retriever mix who
33
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.680
joined the police department in April twenty
twenty three to provide comfort and emotional support
34
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:20.599
to victims. During interviews, Antail
Bosters decompress after tough calls. Chief Pocosta
35
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.240
says Chester and ellwould know each other, so I see them working a lot
36
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.479
together in a team in areas of
public education supporting mental health treatment and wellness
37
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.080
for those in need, as well
as personal mental health support. Scientists have
38
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:35.000
found the first depiction of a horse
ever made by humans. The horse was
39
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.360
cut from ivory somewhere between thirty five
thousand and forty thousand years ago. It
40
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.879
is believed the carving represents a stallion, but they're not sure if it's rearing
41
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.479
its back legs to fight off a
predator, strutting to impress a mayor or
42
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.840
merely bending down for a mouthful of
grass. Why don't they know John because
43
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.000
they don't have the legs to the
carving. They have found a whole bunch
44
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:59.680
of things that volgel Herd cave,
including over seventeen hondred tools made from bone,
45
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:04.360
antet ivory, and three hundred and
twenty six pierced dependants or slashes pieces
46
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.759
of jewelry. They found all this
since two thousand and five. Pretty cool.
47
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.759
Hey, good news if you have
one of those old fashioned names.
48
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:15.039
They're making a comeback. A woman
jumped on Facebook to ask for some quote
49
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:21.360
grandma names for her friend. Thirteen
hundred people commented. Popular names included Norma
50
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.080
Jeane. One person said if I
had a girl, I was gonna call
51
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:28.360
her Norma Jean. Another said,
my son's name is Gene, but I
52
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.400
named him after my dad. Other
names that were suggested Emmelda, Ivy.
53
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:36.680
Someone else said we have an Ivy, Gene, Olive, Dorothy, Betty,
54
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.840
Esme, Dulce, Elsie, Mildred, and Mabel. Some of the
55
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:44.479
top ten vintage names that are popular
again are Cordelia, Julia, Betty,
56
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.560
Dorothy, Florence, Henry, Oliver, Vincent, Patricia and Earl. Some
57
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:52.840
people are attributing the popularity of old
lady names to Blake Lively and husband Ryan
58
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.439
Reynolds, their three children, James, Betty, and Inex. And those
59
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.240
are your five good news stories for
today. I hope you're having an awesome
60
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:01.639
