Show Notes
Transcript

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: A Myrtle Beach restaurant buyer found $12,000 in $100 bills hidden in a cabinet left by the previous owner, contacted a local TV station to help locate the owner, and returned the money. Paris is expanding an underground cooling network that pumps cool water from the Seine through about 120 kilometers of pipes to chill thousands of buildings, with plans to triple the system by 2042. In Washington, the Erickson family sold their 94-acre Vine Maple Farms property for $1.1 million to enable a wildlife bridge over Interstate 5 linking habitat between the Cascade Mountains and Olympic Peninsula. North Carolina announced four litters of endangered red wolf pups. In Texas, a home pole-dancing practice dislodged a pole, hit a fire sprinkler, and flooded two apartments.

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:09.800
Callaroga Shock Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five

2
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:12.880
good news stories. In South Carolina, a restaurant owner is

3
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:17.079
being praised. He discovered twelve thousand dollars in cash hidden

4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:19.719
inside an old cabinet and made sure the money was

5
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.320
returned to the rightful owner. Sack had purchased a restaurant

6
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.640
in Myrtle Beach. He was turning it into the Lemongrass

7
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:29.280
Faux and Tie Cuisine place. While clearing out an old

8
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.079
tool chest left behind by the previous owner, he decided

9
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.439
to take one last look inside. Inside one cabinet, he

10
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.719
found a sunglass's case. Sack said, I saw the sunglass case,

11
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:41.320
and then you know, of course, when you see something

12
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:43.679
like that, you open it and you look inside. He

13
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.479
found it stuffed with one hundred dollars bills. I was shocked,

14
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:48.240
he said, I knew right then it belonged to the

15
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.520
previous owner. He tried calling the previous owner, the phone

16
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.840
number had been disconnected, so Sack went to the local

17
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.719
TV station to tell them the story. Then they found

18
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.439
a different phone number and found the owner and gave

19
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.520
the man the twelve thousand dollars. Sack says, do the

20
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.040
right thing. Don't give up modesty. It's been super hot

21
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:09.319
in Europe. In Paris, they are expanding a cooling system

22
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:11.920
that uses the Sinn River to keep thousands of buildings

23
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:16.040
comfortable without relying on traditional air conditioning. The Underground Network,

24
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.680
first plan in the nineteen nineties, now includes about one

25
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:21.719
hundred and twenty kilometers of pipes that distribute chilled water

26
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.280
to museums, hospital schools, office buildings, hotels, and even landmarks.

27
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.159
Instead of each building running its own air conditioning, cooling

28
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.120
is produced at centralized facilities and shared through the network.

29
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:35.359
The system works by pumping cool water from the Sin

30
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:39.879
through underground pipes. Running alongside those pipes is another line

31
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:43.000
carrying warmer water returning from the buildings. The two streams

32
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:46.319
never mix. River water is returned to the Sin only

33
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.439
slightly warmer than when it first entered the system. Paris

34
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:51.560
plans to triple the size of the network by twenty

35
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.760
forty two. In Washington, a family has sold the farm

36
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.920
their ancestors worked on for more than a century, making

37
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.319
way for a wildlife crossing that conscert essay could help

38
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.280
reconnect habitats and save countless animals. For one hundred and

39
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.639
thirty six years, the Ericson family lived and worked Vine

40
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:13.319
Maple Farms at the foothills of Washington's Cascade Mountains. The

41
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.759
family has sold the ninety four acre property for one

42
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:18.240
point one million dollars so construction can move forward on

43
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.400
a wildlife bridge over Interstate five. The crossing will reconnect

44
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.319
habitat between the Cascade Mountains and the Olympic Peninsula, creating

45
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.479
a safe route for animals that currently face deadly highway traffic.

46
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.400
About fifty years ago, Allen and Janis Erickson created the

47
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.639
Vine Maple Farms Trust, directing that once all of the

48
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:39.000
family's descendants were gone, the property should ultimately be preserved

49
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.039
for conservation. Janis Erickson told the Seattle Times, so here

50
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.520
we are. The new crossing is expected to benefit mountain lions,

51
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:52.120
black bears, deer, elk, beavers, fishers, newts, and many other species. Meanwhile,

52
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.879
in North Carolina, wildlife officials have announced the birth of

53
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.639
four litters of endangered red wolf pops. One letter was

54
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.039
born on private property owned by a participant in the

55
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.719
Prey for the Pack program, which provides financial incentives to

56
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.759
landowners who allow red wolves to live on their land.

57
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.919
The other three litters were born in the wild and

58
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:15.120
in Texas. A woman is retiring from practicing pole dancing

59
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:19.240
at home. Why she flooded two apartments? Oh no, did

60
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.159
you see this on the interwebs. Asha was recording a

61
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.639
practice session in her apartment when the pole came loose

62
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.400
from the ceiling. Unfortunately, it didn't just fall, It struck

63
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.639
a fire sprinkler, sending water spraying throughout her apartment. The

64
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.400
flooding didn't stop there. Water also poured onto the apartment below.

65
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:39.879
She told the local TV. I'm in shock because I'm like,

66
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.120
oh my gosh, this cannot be happening to me. She

67
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.879
had installed the pole just three days earlier and never

68
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.800
imagined it could hit the building sprinkler system. Hope, but

69
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.639
it did, she said. We were more worried about it

70
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:54.280
hitting a wall. Luckily, the people downstairs are much cooler

71
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.840
than I am. Asha said, I explained everything, and she

72
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.479
was very very cool in understanding, and I appreciated that.

73
