Speeding Granny: Donna's Ferrari Adventure

0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey they're I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. A school in Missouri was trying to figure out, Hey, we got to rename this school. What should we rename it? Who should we rename it? After they could have picked all sorts of people, perhaps a national figure that would inspire the kids to strive for achievement and recognition, they went with Claudine Wilson. Claudine is sixty four and has been at the Swedenborg at District three elementary school for decades, working not only as a custodian janitor, but plumber, landscape or school bus driver, cafeteria, and even as a greeter for the kids when they show up. The school board has voted unanimously to name the school the Claudine Wilson Learning Center. The school's assistant administrator told CNN, if you go out in the community and you say from Swedenborg, if they don't what anything about Swedenborg, the first thing they're going to say is is Claudine still there? Many of the schools employees say they've the building without her in it, even after she officially retired by the start of the next school year.

1:05 She was back driving the bus. Only one person didn't think this was deserved. Want to guess who it was? It was Claudine, She told CBS it touches her heart, but her relationships with the kids are the only rewards she requires. Do you have too much free time? A Las Vegas man spent nearly twenty three hours going up and down the stairs in his home to break the Guinness World Record for fastest time to ascend and descend the height of Mount Everest on stairs. Sean had to climb and descend twenty nine thousand, thirty one feet and five point five inches. You don't want to miss this thing by under six inches, you know. He did this on the stairs in his house. He livestream his event. He finished in twenty two hours, fifty seven minutes and two seconds. Sean told Guinness. I decided to break this record because nobody has done this before, not from sea level anyway. Sean even had some of his own rules, including never touching the banister because there's no banisters on Everest.

2:02 Good news for a dog that was found floating down in Arizona Canal on a shopping cart. No one knows how long it was stranded. An emergency animal and medical technician from a local nonprofit was dispatched. With the help of the fire department, they were able to save the chihuahua. The senior dog is named Dorothea. Dorothea is ten years old and is now living with a new family in Youngtown, Arizona. Donna is ninety four. She was recently racing around the Michigan International Speedway in a ferrari and hitting one hundred and fifty miles per hour. She joked, my mother used to say I came into this world running, and added, if you're alive, then live. This was part of the local retirement home, walton Wood twelve Oaks Adventure program, which encourages residents to pursue their dreams. Meanwhile, be happy you weren't in Massachusetts when a truck fared to clear the overpass, All right, that's bad enough. The overpass knocked two porta potties off the truck and on of the road. It gets worse. The truck left the scene. Oh no, dude, there's two porta potties on the road and you know stuff.

3:04 But luckily good news. The truck returned twenty minutes later to collect its cargo. The locals call this starrowing, named for Boston Starro Drive, which features multiple low clearance bridges that are often struck by overheight vehicles. Those are your five good news stories for today. If you like the program, tell a friend about it. Hopefully they'll like it too, you know, all right, have a great day.
