54
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 8>mom and I have somebody, because there's so many people

55
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 8>that are losing those that I know that they just

56
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.199

84
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.120
<v Speaker 9>this strike will go on around the clock until there's

85
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 9>a deal on the table. Kevin says that union.

86
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>Is a number in mind, not going to be enough,

87
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.639

90
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 9>live a normal life and keep his kids fed and happy.

91
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:50.439
<v Speaker 1>It shouldn't be a choice when we go to the

92
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>grocery store if we're gonna put meat on the table

93
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>or we're gonna eat vegetables.

<v Speaker 2>A Hilton spokesperson now tells us they don't believe this

97
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.399
<v Speaker 2>decision to strike is in their worker's best interests, but

98
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 2>they respect the right to strike and will continue to

99
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.360
<v Speaker 2>work work toward a deal. News from the Bruins today,

100
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Jeremy Swayman has been signed to an eight year, sixty

101
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.560
<v Speaker 2>six million dollar contract following months of tense negotiations. This

102
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.959
<v Speaker 2>gets their number one goalie back on the ice just

103
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 2>two days before the season opener. Swayman was a restricted

104
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.160
<v Speaker 2>free agent and missed all of training camp. The start

105
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.399
<v Speaker 2>their season on the road Tuesday, taking on the defending

106
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:38.839
<v Speaker 2>Stanley Cup winning Florida Panthers. Some good witches are brewing

107
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:40.519
<v Speaker 2>up charity on the Cape.

108
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.360
<v Speaker 10>Instead of brooms, these witches carry paddles, and instead of evil,

109
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.480
<v Speaker 10>they use their power for good.

110
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.079
<v Speaker 7>Very good, very good.

111
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 10>Five years ago, friends Joe Allen Erickson and Susan Price

112
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:56.360
<v Speaker 10>decided to don full witch costumes and go paddle boarding

113
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.480
<v Speaker 10>off of Cape cod just for fun.

114
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.639
<v Speaker 7>Well, we both love paddlebo and hoween is my most

115
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.120
<v Speaker 7>favorite holiday, and we just niched guessing gas, which just

116
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.160
<v Speaker 7>comes quite natural. I think I have more witch attire

117
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 7>than I do regular attire, which I don't really know

118
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:10.800
<v Speaker 7>what that means.

119
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 10>It was an unusual spectacle that caught a lot of attention.

120
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 7>Our phones blew up, people just asking what is this,

121
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 7>what are you doing it for? How do we become

122
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 7>a part of it. It became pretty clear that we

123
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.959
<v Speaker 7>had hit upon something that could really do some good

124
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 7>for the local community.

125
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.399
<v Speaker 10>So the friends conjured up a plan to turn their

126
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.120
<v Speaker 10>fun activity into a fundraiser. Since twenty twenty, they have

127
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.720
<v Speaker 10>donated more than eighty thousand dollars to local nonprofits.

128
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.800
<v Speaker 2>This year, the group raised money for Dream Day, and

129
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:45.600
<v Speaker 2>nonprofit providing kids with serious or life threatening illnesses a
