00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.000
Calaroga Shark Media. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories. Delaney planned

2
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.800
for months in secret to donate her
kidney to her dad. Dad had a

3
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.519
type of kidney disease that could lead
to kidney failure. He objected to her

4
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:25.960
undergoing the surgery. A day after
his successful transplant surgery, Dad learned the

5
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.839
anonymous donor was indeed his daughter.
She walked in the room wearing a hospital

6
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:33.640
gown. She told ABC News she
hopes her family story helps raise awareness for

7
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.960
the need for organ donation. She
says to Hurtz, but all the pain

8
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.600
was worth it in the end.
I think Environmental group Ocean Cleanups that it

9
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:45.840
removed around twenty five thousand pounds of
trash from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch was

10
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:49.759
the biggest extraction ever. Then the
next month they broke their own record by

11
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:55.320
removing more than forty thousand pounds of
plastic. The world's five ocean garbage patches,

12
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.600
the largest of which is the Great
Pacific Garbage Patch, posed dangers to

13
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:03.200
local ecosystem by tangling marine life and
fishing nets. Animals eating plastic and other

14
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:07.040
debris. The Ocean Cleanup aims to
remove ninety percent of floating plastic from the

15
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.760
oceans by twenty forty. They believe
that is an achievable goal. An electrician

16
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.599
with a passion for preservation restored an
ancient piece of home electronics, allowing a

17
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:21.280
woman to hear her departed mother's voice. Linda had an old book of Frosty

18
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.680
the Snowman with an electronic recording of
her mother reading it to her. Corrosion

19
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:29.439
had long since rendered the circuitry unusable, but Linda kept the book around for

20
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.319
sentiment. Years went by, and, as all mothers do, her mom

21
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.359
passed away. In twenty twenty.
Enter Lars, an electrician who came by

22
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.799
to fix something in Linda's house.
In the course of his work, he

23
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.959
came across the Frosty book. Linda
said, I was really shocked because I

24
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:42.760
didn't think it was going to work. For a second there, it looked

25
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.719
like it wasn't going to but it
did. I couldn't be happier, Laura

26
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.200
said. Helping people's at the heart
of what we do, so being able

27
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.439
to help somebody in that kind of
specific way, those opportunities don't come around

28
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.040
too often. When they do,
you kind of jump on them. An

29
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.439
elderly woman cried tears of joy when
her daughter fulfilled her lifelong dream of petting

30
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.159
a real Pa penguin. Christine is
a fan of all things penguin. Daughter

31
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:06.719
Lindsay made her dream come true.
A video shows these seventy six year old

32
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.639
overcome with emotion after penning a penguin
at Sea World in San Diego. Lindsay

33
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.759
says, when I actually told her
about the President, she didn't say any

34
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.280
words. It was more like an
excited noise. She associated herself with penguins

35
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.080
because they're clumsy on land, but
graceful in the water. My mom was

36
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:22.560
the same. She's an absolute klutz, but as soon as she gets in

37
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:24.840
the water, she's so graceful.
She's a big fan of penguins and has

38
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.560
been collecting penguins her whole life,
toys, figurines, pencils close with penguins

39
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.719
on them, batings, Christmas decorations, anything. When I got back,

40
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.840
I lost counf how many times she
said thank you. Here is an update

41
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.360
on the Lockness monster. Experts are
convinced there's something out there. There were

42
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:45.479
eight sightings in a year. Lockness
Monster hunters claim to see black humps,

43
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.639
a periscope and even a sixty five
feet dark sheep. Paul Nixon at the

44
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.199
Lockness Center says there's been some exciting
images simply unexplained. They aren't made up.

45
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.759
This year we had more than one
hundred volunteers during Quest weekend. There

46
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.240
were TV crews from around the world, Australia can. We've sparked new interest

47
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:06.240
and there's been the new technology available, like the heat seeking drones. We've

48
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:10.240
had unexplained noises and due to the
media interest, there's been sightings that have

49
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:15.560
resurfaced, such as one from twenty
nineteen of an object with unexplained humps.

50
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:17.919
Makes you wonder how many more sightings
there have been. I'm not saying there's

51
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.479
a big green monster or a dinosaur
out there, but there is something we

52
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.159
knew. There's something big in the
water. We know there are eels,

53
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:28.439
but how big are they. Let's
say there is a monster. Leave it

54
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.960
alone. What are you gonna do
bother it? Just leave it alone.

55
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.479
That's your five good news stories today. I enjoy the program. Tell a

56
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.080
friend about it. They might enjoy
it too. You have a great day.
