Samba the Parrot evades Hawks! A venomous snake makes it downtown! Antartica's Post office is hiring!
The first story highlights the Girls Auto Clinic, a Pennsylvania-based service offering car care memberships, education, and hands-on mechanic workshops specifically for women, alongside unique amenities like a nail salon.
Next, an 11-year-old named Harrison is celebrated for raising $81,000 through patriotic popsicle sales to support history projects about Pearl Harbor, aiming to include stories of underrepresented heroes.
The third story tells of Samba, a 15-year-old Catalina McCaw, who was safely returned to its owner after fending off hawks, thanks to the enticement of a bag of chips.
The fourth story provides relief as a venomous snake causing alarm in a Dutch town was safely captured and relocated by its owner.
Lastly, the world's southernmost post office at Port Lockroy, Antarctica, is looking to hire three employees to manage post and a penguin colony during the Southern Hemisphere summer, despite challenging living conditions.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.320
Calaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm
hunning back with five good news stories.
2
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:14.519
Hey, good news. If you
want to get a manny petty while waiting
3
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:19.800
for your car to get fixed.
The Girl's Auto Clinic offers car care memberships,
4
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:24.440
car care education classes, and hands
on workshops for women looking to learn
5
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:29.600
the skills of fixing cars. Patrese
was thirty years old and took a class.
6
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:32.479
She said, I was tired of
feeling helpless and having to go talk
7
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:34.880
to a guy. I was afraid
I was going to be taken advantage of
8
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.799
in a car kind of way.
So she learned how to fix cars and
9
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:43.240
she opened up the GAC in Pennsylvania. She said, me and my girlfriend
10
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.079
that I work with at DuPont would
go to this specific Jiffy loub on our
11
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:48.640
lunch break because there was a nail
salon next to it. We'd drop off
12
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.679
our cars and walk next door and
get our nails done while we waited.
13
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:56.200
Her clients get free WiFi, snacks, beverages, there's some books, any
14
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.359
clutch beauty clinic, nail salon.
I love this. This is all part
15
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.960
of she canis Hey, dude,
bros, can we do this? Like?
16
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.280
Can somebody set up a garage with
I don't know, a bar and
17
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.040
a foosball table. This is a
good idea. Nice job by Harrison.
18
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.120
He's eleven years old and raised eighty
one thousand dollars to help fund history projects
19
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.439
to tell the story of the attack
on Pearl Harbor. How do you do
20
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:23.840
this? Selling patriotic popsicles? Harrison's
Heroes is in progress of raising one hundred
21
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:29.280
thousand dollars for Pacific Historic Parks,
the nonprofit that stewards the Pearl Harbor Memorial.
22
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.719
Harrison hopes they can produce material that
expands the story of the attacks,
23
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:38.239
include heroic acts from men and women
of color and other underrepresented members. Harrison's
24
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.719
mom said, We're so proud and
we pray that it makes the impact that
25
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.359
he intends. Nice job, good
news. The parrot is back home and
26
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:49.640
has fended off the hawks. Julio
said his fifteen year old Catalina mccawn named
27
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.519
Samba, got spooked by a gust
of wind during a photoshoot and made its
28
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.879
way out to a forty foot tree. Firefighters attempted to use ladders to reach
29
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.799
Samba the parrot, but he fled
to higher branches. The owner said Sampa
30
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:06.799
was able to fend off multiple hawk
attacks yikes, which left the bird exhausted.
31
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.319
How they get the parrot back,
the owner barrowed a bag of chips
32
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:15.240
from a TV reporter who was on
scene covering the parrot's story. The sound
33
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:19.439
of the snack bag caused Sampa the
parrot to fly down to his owner's waiting
34
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.840
arms. The owner said, it's
like my soul has re entered my body.
35
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:24.400
When this happened, my soul left
my body. For three days,
36
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.759
I've been sleeping well, i haven't
been eating. It's been tough. I'm
37
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.479
exhausted physically and mentally. So remember
if your parrot escapes, grab a bag
38
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:36.719
of chips. Good news, we
found the venomous snake. This happened in
39
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.800
the Netherlands. The town was being
terrorized for an entire month by the venomous
40
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:46.479
snake. Eventually, the venomous snake
spotted relaxing in a door frame down the
41
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:51.000
street from its owner's home. City
officials wrote city surveillance and the police were
42
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.639
on site within minutes to keep the
area safe and quiet. I like the
43
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:58.319
quiet part. The owner was also
on site within a few minutes and immediately
44
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.240
caught the snake and stored it safe. Officials said the snake will be moved
45
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:06.560
to a new home at a specialist
snake center outside the city. Say that
46
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.919
five times, fast and good news
if you want a job down near the
47
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:15.199
South Pole. The world's southernmost post
office is seeking three employees to spend four
48
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:21.159
months sorting mail at the Penguin post
Office at Britain's Port Lockroy base. You'll
49
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.680
work there from November twenty twenty four
to March twenty twenty five. Your duties
50
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:29.479
you will sort through letters and postcards, sell stamps. Not sure how well
51
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.199
trafficked. That post office is running
a small gift shop, and you'll keep
52
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:38.599
count of Port Lockroy's colony of about
fifteen thousand Penguins. This post office processes
53
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.080
up to eighty thousand letters and postcards
each year, the majority of which are
54
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.280
mailed out by passengers on cruise ships
that stop at the island during the Southern
55
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:52.800
Hemisphere summer. The jobs are base
Leader, General Assistant and shop manager.
56
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:54.599
And you have to be a resident
of the UK and you have to be
57
00:03:54.639 --> 00:04:00.120
prepared to bunk with five other people, go long stretches without phone, own
58
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.680
our internet access and make do without
running water for the duration of your stay.
59
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.520
Yikes. They also warn you you'll
have to deal with the smell of
60
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:13.680
guano for five months. Sounds lovely. Those are five good news stories for
61
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:15.519
today. If you joined this program, shared on social media, and tell
62
00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:18.360
some friends about it. This thing's
really been growing. I appreciate you all,
63
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.240
and have an awesome day.
