Two Bears Stole a Set of Golf Clubs

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Recently it was International Skinny Dip Day. Now it might sound like, you know, just a goofy thing to do, what organizers say it's about raising money for a serious cause while promoting body positivity. Officially recognized by the American Association for Nude Recreation, the annual event has been raising money for the OFFICIALA Foundation since twenty nineteen. That foundation helps women in Africa and Asia who suffer from obstetric fistulas and severe childbirth injuries. Following this year's events on Skinny Dip Day, they have raised more than sixty thousand dollars overall, enough to fund surgery for approximately ninety six women. The slogan is dipping on a mission.

0:48 One of the largest gatherings took place at Blind Creek Nude Beach in Fort Pierce, Florida, where five hundred and seventy one people participated. Evan Nix was there and he said, this is a strange little tradition, a bunch of naked people raising money to cure disease most of the world has never heard of. It's one of the things I'm proudest of in Rhode Island. Employees at Centerville Bank received a gift from the employer, one hundred dollars gas gift cards who help offset rising fuel prices. But here's the twist. Instead of using the cards themselves, many of the employees decided to donate them to Meals on Wheels. Josh is the bank's chief human resources officer, and Josh said, we like to do unique things to tell people when it matters most and when they're feeling pressure from the rising costs around us. Our employees are the ones who take care of our customers, and we have to do what we can to take care of them to make sure we're retaining the best employees around. We'd done something a few years ago and gas was over five dollars a gallon, but we said, let's do something for our employees now.

1:41 We'll do it for the month of June, help them get ready for summer, and give everyone one hundred dollars a gas gift card. Realizing that not all the employees might need the help, the bank gave them the option of donating their cards. Amy works for Meals on Wheels and she said, we have a fleet of twenty six cars, so there's a significant cost of the transportation of these meals throughout the state. Stressful. We were going through our gas budget a lot faster we had anticipated. I was touched by their generosity, not surprised, because there's such an incredible partner to our work. It's a small actor generosity, but when each individual person decides to make that choice, it can make a real big impact, like it did with this initiative. Let's Hit the Sea is after seven years of development, a groundbreaking sailing yacht designed to operate entirely on renewable energy. As hit the Water, The two hundred and thirty foot yacht named Zero, was launched in the Netherlands. It is believed to be the first sailing out of its size built to run purely on renewable energy.

2:35 The yacht generates most of its electricity while under sail through a two hundred and fifty kilowatt hydrogeneration system. Nearly one thousand square feet of solar panels provide additional power from the sun. Wind energy can also contribute another two hundred kilowatts of electricity. The energy stored in massive onboard batteries and managed by sophisticated software designed to maximize efficiency. The yacht is capable of operating for up to two two weeks without needing additional energy. That's cool. In Scotland, a family was hiking and they needed a rescue, not for themselves, but for their dog. Tokyo was hiking with her human friend, Christina and Christina's family. Tokyo suddenly became ill.

3:16 Christina told CNN we were maybe an hour from the top when we noticed Tokyo got really weak in her hind quarters. Initially I thought it had been a spinal thing or disc it slip because of the climb, but then she started drifting in and out of consciousness. I was standing on the mountain thinking that was it. I was going to lose her. They tried carrying the fifty three pound black labrador down the mountain, but heavy rain made it too dangerous. They called the Mountain Rescue Team. Those guys had volunteers already nearby responding to another emergency. They placed Tokyo on a stretcher and carried her safely off the mountain. What did the vets find? Tokyo had all the symptoms of consuming cannabis, and her blood tested too. What really gave it away was she had her temperature taken when she let out some gas and it smelled like cannabis. Vets believe Tokyo probably ate a little cannabis edible that had been dropped off the hiking trail. Be careful if you're out there golfing. In British Columbia, a player was out playing golf and he had his clubs stolen by a bear. This happened at the Golden Eagle Golf Club. It was captured on video. The footage shows a bear grabbing a golf bag off the back of a golf court and drag in across the course toward a wooded area where a second bear appeared to be waiting for the golf clubs. They tried pleading with the bear.

4:27 One guy said those are my clubs, man. The bear didn't answer. Another person said put them back, and the bear did not answer. There is no word if they ever got the golf clubs back. And though so, you're five good news stories for today. Have a great day.
