Wolfgang Van Halen gets it done!

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. I'm Johnny Mack with five good news stories. Nice job by a magnet fisherman. He was cleaning up the local river. He'd been out in the rain for a couple hours and then they locked onto something and he asked his friend, what do you think it is? And his friend said, looks like a sword. He wrote on Facebook. Possibly medieval sword, whatever era it is, it's definitely over two hundred and fifty years old, so we'll get back to that. So what is magnet fishing. Well, a strong magnet gets attached to a rope, you lower it into a stream or river. You try to attract metallic objects. The Smithsonian Institute warns you this can be dangerous. Sometimes you might catch a live grenade, so don't do this anyway. The experts checked out the sword. It dated back to the eighth or ninth century and almost certainly belonged to a Danish warrior.

0:57 The fishermen sold the local paper it's the oldest thing found in in this county magnet fishing. There was a little dispute with the landowner in the river's trust, who don't permit magnet fishing. The latter set a legal documents, saying they wouldn't take action on the condition the sword was passed to a museum which I had done. Good news out of the bug house at the Houston Zoo, a female jumping stick that is an insect that looks like a stick was going through molt. That's the process by which the bugs shed their exoskeletons and grow new ones. However, when this female finished, the zookeepers noticed a crease had developed between her thorax and head in an area without a joint. This neck like spot was so weak that when the jumping stick attempted to climb up trees, her head flopped almost all the way back on itself. So what did the vets do? They made a neck brace. They used the rod of a sterilized Q tip and some tape and they braced their head in thorax, which allowed the crease to heal. Spokesperson at the zoo says, whether it's a mammal, reptile, bird, or even insect, all of our animals receive extraordinary care. Nice job by Wolfgang van Halen and you may know him, or you'd probably know his father, Eddie van Hallend. Wolfgang has donated one hundred thousand dollars to launch a special program to support public schools to acquire instruments for their music programs, working with the Mister Hollands Opus Foundation.

2:10 I know that was important to Eddie. Wolfgang has launched the Adopt a School campaign, which connects qualifying schools across the nation in need of musical instruments with donors interested in supporting music education within a community of their choice. Wolfgang said, music has been a huge part of my life. That's an understatement, and it's our family's great pleasure to help support music education programs and bring the gift of music to students across the country. Music education has proved to be a huge contributor towards a student's success in school and in life. Nice job, Wolfgang. Good news if you like the super bloom. Drenching rains and records snowfall throughout California's winter season has carried on. This year's super bloom promises to be similar to last year's. We won't know for certain until April when peak blooming intends to occur. But Evan Meyer, who's a botanist and the executive director of the Theatre or a Pain Foundation, said, it's definitely looking like it's gonna be a good season. All right, Dad messed up.

3:06 Jake threw away his daughter's favorite stuffed animal by mistake. It happens, actually doesn't happen. Come on, Jake, step this up. Cupcake is a floppy eared dog. His daughter, Charlotte received it when she was four. She's now a grown woman. But you know, cupcake, man, I get it. Dad was talking to the daughter and was like, Hey, what are you looking for? And she says Cupcake. Dad says, somewhere in the back of my head, I was like, is that the stuffed animal I just took to the dump? Oops. Mom put out a post on Facebook asking if anyone was available to open the dump for them. A local official saw it and took care of it. On a rainy Thursday morning, they began searching through trash compactors that had smushed the waistbag so thoroughly that they had to use a backo to loosen up the garbage enough so they could use their hands. Now, this show's called five Good News Stories.

3:53 I'm not gonna be like, yeah, and they didn't find it, and I'll see tomorrow. That's not how this ends. They found cup. Superintendent Dan says it made us feel pretty good. No one wants to be without their stuffy and the smile on her face said at all. Congratulations Charlotte Dan. Yeah, you better make this up somehow. And those are your five good news stories for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might like it too, Share it on social media to help grow the show.
