00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.400
Calaroga Shark Media. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories. Nice job
2
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:17.039
by a dog. In Arlington,
Washington was three am and a fire was
3
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:22.160
quietly burning the workshop of a nearby
home. Douglas was sleeping soundly in a
4
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.000
house across the road, and he
was awakened by the sound of his dog,
5
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.440
Lucy. Douglas said, Nord,
let us yell her to go to
6
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.839
sleep. You know, this was
a different type of bark, a loud,
7
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:34.439
screaming type bark. Was totally different
than her just barking at usual bark.
8
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:37.560
Woke us both up. Something's wrong, Wow, she was trying to
9
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.880
tell us something. Douglas's wife went
to the window to see what the Australian
10
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:46.039
shipper Laprador was bargain about, and
they called nine to one one and firefighters
11
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:49.600
arrived to contain and eventually put out
the blaze before it spread from the detached
12
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:53.479
workshop to the home, where the
owner was still asleep. Firefighters said in
13
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.119
another ten minutes it could reach the
house. A man is counting his lucky
14
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.119
stars that he didn't throw away a
next quick can he found when he was
15
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.760
renovating his home. Tonio is a
builder. He spotted six canisters. They
16
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.879
were filled to the brim with around
fifty thousand dollars worth of bank notes give
17
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.400
or take your exchange rate. Couldn't
believe his luck. He went to cash
18
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.640
in, but he found out that
the Bank of Spain will no longer accept
19
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.079
the notes that make up the nine
million pactas as the bank discontinued the old
20
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.000
notes back in two thousand and two. Tonio was sad. He said,
21
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.239
I called them, They told me
it was no longer possible. But he
22
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.000
did manage to bag himself around thirty
grand after training in some more up to
23
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.879
date notes and said, paid for
a new roof. I guess they kept
24
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.959
the containers to avoid humidity. The
last ones were somewhat damaged, but the
25
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:38.599
others weren't. They were ironed.
It was incredible. The home had been
26
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.760
abandoned for four decades. Tonio snapped
up the house when he saw listed on
27
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.359
Facebook. He says he's going to
keep some of the out of date notes
28
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.400
as a souvenir. Good news if
you're a New Jersey bobcat, you guys
29
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.959
have rebounded. A recent study says
there were between two hundred and four hundred
30
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:59.159
bobcats in New Jersey. Bobcats are
naturally shy creatures to steer away from humans
31
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.719
and other populations of animals, but
due to the loss of their natural habitats,
32
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.519
we're seeing more and more bobcats around
the neighborhoods. Gretchen Fowls is with
33
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.439
the New Jersey Division of Fish and
Wildlife. She says bobcats are restricted mainly
34
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:13.800
to northern New Jersey, but we're
seeing more bobcats in recent years. There
35
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.639
were a few confirmed records in the
past several years south of Interstate seventy eight.
36
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.479
If folks encounter bobcats, the best
thing to do is give them some
37
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.280
space, and almost every situation they're
gonna run away. Right where I live,
38
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:28.800
there's occasionally a wolf and then people
will think it's the fox, and
39
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:30.240
I'm like, no, I've seen
the fox. When you see the wolf,
40
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:32.639
the wolf is not the fox.
You will know the wolf when you
41
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:38.199
see it. Scary. The Grand
Gold has stage four colon cancer. La
42
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:42.639
Grand's dream meeting Dolly Parton. You
got to do that on a video call
43
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.919
with Dolly. She called the Utah
Man, chatted with him and even sang
44
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:50.159
to him. While Gold's wife captured
the heartwarming moment. His wife Alice told
45
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.120
Dolly that her husband goes by his
initials LG. Dolly's on the video says,
46
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.719
Hey LG, it's Dolly P.
How are you. I've heard you're
47
00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:00.319
a fan of mine and in our
final story today, if you're over fifty
48
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.199
and live alone, you might want
to get a pet. Scientists say people
49
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:07.000
over fifty living alone may be able
to counter decline in their verbal cognition by
50
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.560
adding a pet to their home.
According to a new study, Doctor Lou
51
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:15.639
is a professor of epidemiology and medical
science and says pet ownership may completely offset
52
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.080
the effect of living alone on cognitive
decline. Doctor Richard Isaacson as a neurologist
53
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.400
and says it's more accurate to say
may slow down cognitive decline. Scientists get
54
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.919
in a fight over these bets.
One caution not to say is if a
55
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:30.800
person who lives alone already as cognitive
impairment or physical limitation such as bounds or
56
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:35.000
vision problems, it generally would not
be advisable for that person to adopt a
57
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.240
pet to slow down their brain aging. But Lou says, compared with non
58
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.520
pet owners, pet owners take more
modern, vigorous physical activity, pointing out
59
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.919
that some animals might require an aquarium
or chicken coop. Those require specific lighting,
60
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.319
water features, plants, rocks,
or soils, and that may,
61
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.240
according to Lou, promote owners to
establish connections with nature, thereby increasing the
62
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.360
immunity of owners. I'm not a
scientist. And that's your five good news
63
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.039
stories for today. If you enjoy
the prayer, tell a friend about it.
64
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.879
They might like it to you.
Have a great day.
