Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny back with five

2
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:13.359
good news stories. Recently, a groom burst into tears at

3
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:15.800
his wedding. Well is that good news, john Well. The

4
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:18.719
groom was waiting for his bride to come down and

5
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:21.320
he was stunned by a message he got from his daughter.

6
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:24.920
The voicemail was from Evie, which said, Hello, Daddy, it's

7
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.120
me Evie. I'm walking down the aisle and we'll see

8
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:29.199
you now because you're gonna marry my mummy and she

9
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:31.559
looks beautiful like me. We love you so so much

10
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.520
to the moon and back, and we love you lots

11
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.280
and lots like jelly toots. See you in a minute,

12
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:38.560
see you, but don't want to be a see you

13
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:43.840
later alligator. Meanwhile, in Fernadina Beach, the fire department rushed

14
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.679
to the scene of a bicycle collision where a young

15
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.960
man was trapped under his bike wheel. Firefighters tried to

16
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.520
free the boy kJ, but they had to destroy the

17
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.039
bike to get his foot out. kJ was brought to

18
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.079
the hospital. He was treated for injuries. He had a

19
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.359
nasty ankle's brain. The next day, on the front Nadina

20
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.799
Fire Department facebook page, we see the firefighter, surprising kJ

21
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.400
with a new bike. Meanwhile, when David lost his mother

22
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.400
in a cycling accident, he was devastated. He inherited roughly

23
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.480
one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars from her, but

24
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:14.840
he told the Guardian she had a huge social conscious

25
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:16.519
and was interested in the world and how it worked.

26
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.879
A lot of my moral framework comes from her. He

27
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.079
wrote to six hundred of his neighbors and asked their

28
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:23.159
opinion what should he do with one hundred and twenty

29
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.640
five grand Only thirty eight people wrote back. Out of that,

30
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.760
he formed a committee that nominated four different charities that

31
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:32.599
would receive a quarter of the inheritance each. Tm Oasis

32
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.159
is based in Liverpool's poorest areas, provides free meals to

33
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:41.319
families and organizes workshops for dance, football, photography and other activities.

34
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.560
Liverpool Kids Plant to Plate organizes lessons on growing and

35
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.319
preparing one's own food for kids in the urban areas

36
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.359
of the city. One of the organizers there said to

37
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:52.439
the guy who donated the money, the impact it's had

38
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:55.239
is out of this world. Who are you rooting for

39
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:59.359
the crabs or the sea otters? You see green crabs

40
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:04.000
introduced from Europe have been destroying native crab hatcheries in California.

41
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:08.199
They've been hunting juvenile salmon, leveling eel grass beds, but

42
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:12.159
now they've met their match, the southern sea otter. The

43
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:14.639
green crab was first introduced to North America in the

44
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.560
eighteen hundreds, likely hitching a ride on one of those

45
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.479
merchant ships. Researchers from the University of California Davis spent

46
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.520
years trying to get rid of them. Meanwhile, the sea

47
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.719
otters were nearly hunted to extinction in the nineteenth century.

48
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.080
They got protection in nineteen thirteen before the eventual nineteen

49
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.800
seventy seven entry on the endangered Species list. Sea otters

50
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.199
don't have the blubber layer like other marine mammals do,

51
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.639
so they eat a tremendous amount of calories, and they

52
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.599
like the green crabs. Ricky is an ecologist who said

53
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.520
the otters eating the crabs benefited the eel grass, which

54
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.879
contributed to better water quality. When the otter population was

55
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.039
the lowest back in two thousand and three two thousand

56
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:54.599
and four, we thought the green crabs were going to

57
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.360
take over the area and then they didn't, and for

58
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.360
that we thank the otters. All right, we might have

59
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:05.840
another Lockness monster. Sighting images captured on a Lockness webcams

60
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.560
show an anomaly. It could be the Locknest monster, first

61
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.400
described by Saint Columba in the summer of five sixty

62
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.240
five AD. I had no idea, So the latest is

63
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.840
a twenty foot long object has been spotted in the

64
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.280
lake's waters. The object was captured on twenty four to seven. Webcam.

65
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.400
Images from the webcam show a long, dark object half

66
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.479
submerged in the lock. We're told the object was moving

67
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.960
close to shore towards Cherry Island before turning and heading

68
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.120
further out into the lock before disappearing out of sight.

69
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.560
Experts say the blurry images could be the monster. One

70
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.159
skeptic said it could be a tree. It's not a tree,

71
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:43.759
it's the monster. Come on, and those are your funny

72
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.319
