Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media and there jutting back with five good
news stories. A woman had a father who was her
pen pal while growing up. She has decided to share
her father with the world. It is the Dad Letter Project.
Whatever happened during Rosie's life growing up, she got a
letter from her dad, buzz. It could be the week
before summer camp, first day at college, moving in her
first apartment, Dad would send a letter. She got the
letter virtually every ten days until she had thirty five
hundred letters. The project website says, sometimes you just need
a dad tromind you that you're doing great, to offer
unsolicited life advice, or to tell you joke so bad
you have no choice but to laugh. It's like a hug,
but on paper. She told ABC News, people wanted to
hear from a dad. They wanted to hear from a
father figure. So many people don't receive anything in the mailbox,
be sides, maybe coupons and bills. Dads are coming up
with words to say to you. They're putting the address
on the envelope, putting a stamp on it, and sending
it out. It's authentic and special. Each participant requests a
letter based around a topic or event in their lives
and then you get a letter from Dad. That's pretty cool.
In Portland, the Portland Street Response has worked as an
alternative first responder agency serving people who have mental health issues.
Unarmed staff members are dispatched to provide services to those
with suspected substance use issues. Some have basic needs like housing.
The group points out police or trained to respond to crimes,
mental health is not a crime. Even pandemics are sounding
the alarm on their own lack of training this way,
having dedicated teams who are specifically trained to provide care
for someone struggling with mental health as a better solution.
They're relying on police or other first responders. That's pretty smart.
The Portland Street Response Team has filled at nearly forty
thousand calls since twenty twenty one. A Canadian politician was
preparing to retire. She celebrated her time in office by
donning three hundred and sixty next ties at the same time,
which broke a Guinness World record that beat the record
of a three hundred and thirty set in twenty twenty three.
Marwa told Guinness I accepted the challenge of breaking the
record for most neckties worn at once to show that
women are equal to men and that women can also
wear many ties. It took forty eight minutes. In Pennsylvania,
the fire department is like, will you please return the
Smokey the Bear's sign. The firefighters were out on a call.
They come back. The smoking the Bear sign is gone.
The Bear Creek Township Volunteer Fire Rescue posted on social
media they came back from a call. The sign had
been removed from its base using a saw. The sign
features the image of smoking the bear pointing at the
words remember only you who can prevent forest fires. Come on, guys,
give the sign back. And in Dallas, a man was
left speechless. His wife used a couple's painting night to
announce her pregnancy. Alvin's out there with Cassie. It's couple's
painting night, their painting. Cassie turns around her canvas, is like, hey,
what do you think. He's just looking at the painting
and he missed the words that said I'm pregnant. Eventually
he noticed what it said. Congratulations guys, And those are
your five good news stories for today. I'm a good
one
