Speaker 1: Kalaroka Shock Media. Hello, I'm Jenny Mack with five good
news stories. Congrats to Betty. Betty is eighty years old
and has become the oldest woman ever to complete the
Appalachian Trail. She first dreamed of hiking the trail as
a child after reading about it in Weekly Reader. But
you know, life a gets in the way and suddenly
or eighty. The trail crosses fourteen states from Maine to
Georgia and is so demanding most people only hike it
in sections. She tried in twenty twenty two, but her
hiking partner, Joe, was injured and she herself was forced
off the trail due to dehydration, lime disease, and a concussion. Yikes.
She tried again in twenty twenty three, but was cut
short by another fall. Then she had knee replacement surgery,
and sadly Joe passed away. She resolved to finish the
trail in his honor. She set out again in twenty
twenty four, but there was damage caused by Hurricane Helene
that forced hikers to leave parts of the trail, so
she gave it another shot in March of twenty twenty
five and tackled the remaining northern and southern sections. In September,
she completed the trail, breaking the previous age record by
six years. Her takeaways keep moving, set big goals, and
don't let others define your limits. Great job. A Georgia
filmmaker proposed by editing himself into the wedding scene from Shrek.
You didn't think I was gonna say Shrek. Carter spent
five hours digitally inserting himself into Shrek, timing his cameo
to run down the aisle, declaring he'd experienced true love too,
just before Lord Farquad's perfect Brideline. While playing the edited
clip at home, Carter slipped out of the room, changed
into the same suit as the scene, and returned moments
later proposed to dressa He was inspired when Addresses suggested
Shrek for movie night. Chad worked on the editing secret
while she slept, nervously, hoping she'd agree to watch the
film on the chosen date without growing suspicious. He filmed
the whole thing at what Viral on Reddit and got
tens of thousands of likes and enthusiastic comments. Congratulations to
the happy couple. The UK is creating Europe's largest oyster reef,
with four million native oysters being restored to the seabed
off the coast of Norfolk. By the end of the year,
around forty thousand specifically designed clay structures known as mother reefs,
will be installed on the seabed in the North Sea.
Each structure will be seated with about one hundred juvenile oysters.
Once mature, the reefs are expected to filter millions of
leaders of seawater each day, improving water quality and creating
a habitat for a whole range of marine species that's neat.
The oyster reefs were almost entirely wiped out over the
last century due to overfishing, disease, and pollutions. Scientists say
their loss meant the disappearance of entire ecosystems, and restoring
them is the key to healthier seas. Good news out
of southern New Jersey. We caught your wallaby. Here's why
the wallaby loves Walmart parking lots. It's always about the
details in these stories, right, Rex the wallaby escaped from
the lis of love form Ron owns the place and said, yeah,
Rex had been moved into a barn to shelter him
from strong winds but got loose. Police responded to multiple
calls responding what witness has described as a kangaroo hopping
near traffic. Now, I've been to Australia, so when i
went to Australia, you know, I'm from New York City,
I was like, Oh, those are kangaroos, And no, they're
not kangaroos. They're wallabies. Wallabies look like what you think
kangaroos look like. Kangaroos look like eight feet tall versions
of what you think kangaroos look like. The wallabies a
little cute things and they hop Anyway, The police were
unable to capture Rex the Wallaby. He was later spotted
on video in a Walmart parking lot and then disappeared
into the woods. The next night, he was spotted once
again in the Walmart parking lot. That time, bystanders, including
several children and a parent, and some farm staff were
able to capture Rex the Wallaby. Rex was returned unharmed
to the Lots of Love Farm. If you enjoy this

ambassador of peace. The dog has been tailing along with
Buddhist monks on a long distance mission promoting unity and compassion.
The monks are on a one hundred and twelve day
piece walk. During the walk, a loca was found abandon
along the route. A loca of the dog chose to
follow the monks as they walked, quickly becoming part of
the group. It wasn't easy. At one point, a local
was struck by a car and later became pretty ill.
The monks appeared to spare him further hardship by placing
him in a truck, but he jumped out of the
truck and wanted to walk with him all in all,
who to take about one hundred and ten days. Good
luck to everybody involved there, including the dog and those
