00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Caalaroga Shark Media. I am Johnny Mack with five good

2
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:13.400
<v Speaker 1>news stories. The Ontario Police have a reminder for you,

3
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>please do not bring in live grenades. The warning came

4
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:21.600
<v Speaker 1>after someone walked into the Ottawa PD carrying an unexploded

5
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 1>World War II grenade they had found. After safely dealing

6
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>with the situation, police issued a public reminder on social media.

7
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Had said the opp would like to remind the public

8
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:32.560
<v Speaker 1>that if you find such items, please do not transport

9
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.399
<v Speaker 1>them to your local police station. This could obviously prove

10
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>extremely dangerous to the person bringing in the item and

11
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:42.200
<v Speaker 1>others around. Officers say anyone who discovers old grenades or

12
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>other explosives should leave them where they are and call

13
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.359
<v Speaker 1>the police. The police tell us the police will arrange

14
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 1>for the explosives disposal unit to attend to safely discard

15
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>any items. An Australian city wanted to set one of

16
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 1>those Guinness World Records. For this one, they brought together

17
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:02.039
<v Speaker 1>more than six hundred trombone players. The trombone players were

18
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>gathered to play the classic tune seventy six trombones. Of course,

19
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>it was more than six hundred trombones in this case.

20
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>The record Attemp was organized by the Ipswich City Big Band.

21
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Mayor Harding said this record Attemp was about much more

22
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.159
<v Speaker 1>than numbers. Was about showcasing the power of music in

23
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.359
<v Speaker 1>a city that embraces culture, supports local talent, and delivers

24
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>unique experiences to bring people together. At the time of

25
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>this recording, the record was not yet certified. I'm sure

26
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll let you know at some point. Also in Australia,

27
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.680
<v Speaker 1>a barber is proving that a haircut can do far

28
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.040
<v Speaker 1>more than change someone's appearance, and can help build skills,

29
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 1>confidence and community. John James is known as the Outback Barber.

30
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>He's been traveling to some of Australia's most remote communities

31
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 1>to teach people how to cut hair themselves. He took

32
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 1>a plane to Mornington Island off the northern coast of Queensland.

33
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>He stepped off the plane he found a crowd of

34
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.879
<v Speaker 1>people waiting, hoping for a haircut. Instead of just cutting

35
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 1>there himself, he decided to teach people. The Outback Barber said,

36
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.359
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't believe how quickly they picked up barbering. They're like,

37
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 1>let's go further, and then they were doing skin fade

38
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 1>straight up and then they were doing them on their own.

39
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:03.879
<v Speaker 1>A local couple asked if he would style the bride

40
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and groom for their wedding with help from his new students,

41
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.319
<v Speaker 1>who took care of the guests. The outback barber focused

42
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:12.439
<v Speaker 1>on the wedding party before and being invited to stay

43
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>for the wedding. He said, to be part of that

44
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>emotionally and be asked to attend the wedding after was

45
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>incredibly humbling. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity. We'll

46
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.039
<v Speaker 1>stay in that part of the world. In New Zealand,

47
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>a great grandfather has earned the Guinness World Record after

48
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:27.039
<v Speaker 1>proving that age is no barrier to staying active. Brian

49
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 1>has been recognized as the world's oldest male water skier

50
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 1>age ninety four and three hundred and eighteen days. Brian

51
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>took up water skiing in nineteen fifty five and I

52
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.159
<v Speaker 1>spent decades competing in tournaments across New Zealand. He said,

53
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't consider it initially, but as I got older,

54
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>it became a challenge and I enjoyed it so much

55
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 1>I kept going. Also, the family all participate in the sport,

56
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.080
<v Speaker 1>which took us all over New Zealand. For tournaments. Most

57
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>people tell me I'm an inspiration of people of all ages.

58
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:54.319
<v Speaker 1>It encourages me to know I'm leading the way for

59
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>others to keep active. I like the saying you don't

60
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>stop because you're too old. You get too old because

61
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.759
<v Speaker 1>you stop being active. And it's been a hot summer

62
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 1>out there. So in Denmark they're celebrating Christmas. Dozens of

63
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Santa Clauss, Missus Clausus, and Christmas Ells from around the

64
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>world gathered for the annual World Santa Claus Congress, a

65
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.360
<v Speaker 1>colorful tradition that has delighted visitors for decades. The event

66
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>began in nineteen fifty seven at an amusement park near Copenhagen,

67
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.800
<v Speaker 1>before moving to Alborg two years ago. Originally created to

68
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>entertain children, the gathering has evolved into an annual reunion

69
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 1>for professional Santas who spend the holiday season working in stores,

70
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.039
<v Speaker 1>shopping malls and community events. The four day schedule includes

71
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.400
<v Speaker 1>gingerbread eating contest, gift wrapping competitions, balloon modeling, beard comparisons,

72
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:40.039
<v Speaker 1>and festive parades through the city streets. Peter organizes the thing.

73
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>He's also a Santa. He explains, the Grandma say oh,

74
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>it's too early to come here, and the kids say, hooray,

75
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 1>Santa is here already. Some came from Scandinavia, others traveled

76
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>from as far as Tokyo. Robert was a first time

77
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>at ten d. He says, Santa performers everywhere share something special.

78
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>He explains, either have it or you don't. We have

79
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the true Santa spirit. It's all about giving, sharing and

80
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 1>putting a little bit of joy in people's hearts. Danish

81
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.919
<v Speaker 1>Santa Simon says Christmas is not a season, It's a

82
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 1>feeling you have in your stomach. So if you want,

83
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 1>you can have Christmas the whole year. Don't tell me.

84
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Last year, I started doing five good news Christmas stories

85
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 1>in October, and based on the download numbers, you guys

86
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>were all in favor of it. If I had the

87
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>stories this early, I would probably do it, but those

88
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>don't start showing up until October. So those are your

89
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>five regular good news stories for today. Have a great day.
