1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:09,839 Speaker 1: Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five 2 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,759 good do stories good news from during the week. A 3 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,759 purple heart that belonged to a World War II veteran 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,239 from Illinois. It had spent decades in a safe deposit box. 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,359 It was a returned to his family in time for 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,640 Veterans Day. The purple heart was awarded to US Army 7 00:00:23,719 --> 00:00:27,559 rifleman James Bennett during World War Two and ended up 8 00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:31,359 in the possession of Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frericks as 9 00:00:31,399 --> 00:00:34,840 part of Operation Purple Heart, a program that Michael launched 10 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,359 to return military medals from abandoned safe deposit boxes to 11 00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:40,520 their rightful owners. He explained, we have to do a 12 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,679 bit of homework detective work out there. We worked with 13 00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:45,039 the media. Chicago Tribune helped us track down some of 14 00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:48,520 these families because it's not always easy. Mister Bennett passed 15 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,960 away in nineteen ninety, age seventy six. His wife passed 16 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,719 away seven years later. Their niece, Patty, said she didn't 17 00:00:55,719 --> 00:00:58,560 know about the safety deposit box until she was contacted 18 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,159 about the purple heart. She explained, when my aunt and 19 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,320 uncle passed, a lot of the items were also passed on. 20 00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:05,200 I didn't know about this. This is exciting. He was 21 00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:07,400 a really great guy. I'm going to display it at 22 00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:09,079 home and I want to take a picture and send 23 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,719 it to all the relatives that are left alive and 24 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,040 share it with them too. And I hope this encourages 25 00:01:13,079 --> 00:01:15,079 other people to look into getting their purple hearts from 26 00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:18,599 their family members. In Australia, three hundred and seventy four 27 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,719 bagpiper has played acdc's It's a Long Way to the 28 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,040 Top If you want a rock and roll that of 29 00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:28,400 course broke the world record. Congratulations to the Great Melbourne 30 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,079 Bagpipe Bash. They broke the record for largest bagpipe ensemble, 31 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,560 the previous record three hundred and thirty three. Good news 32 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,120 if you host a podcast and eat chocolate all the time. 33 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,719 Scientists in England have developed a new jail that can 34 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,599 repair and regenerate dental enamel that could significantly change the 35 00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:50,000 way tootsak is treated. The gel can be applied quickly, 36 00:01:50,239 --> 00:01:53,079 kind of like fluoride. This is awesome, but it's fluoride free. 37 00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:56,799 It mimics the natural proteins that guide enamel formation in infancy. 38 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,959 Once applied, the gael forms a thin, strong layer over 39 00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:02,480 the tooth surface, filling cracks and defects. It acts as 40 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,959 a scaffold, drawing calcium and phosphate ions from saliva and 41 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,360 promoting the growth of new mineral that integrates with underlying 42 00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:14,520 tissue that allows regenerated enamel to recover both the structure 43 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,120 and properties of natural healthy enamel. Awesome, good job, scientists. 44 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,479 Good news for a cow in Germany. The cow was 45 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,000 on its way to be slaughtered. That's not the good news, 46 00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:31,000 quite the opposite. The cow escapes while being transported. The 47 00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:34,039 cow spent about ten weeks wandering in the woods and 48 00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:36,319 came to be friends and lived with a flock of 49 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,879 two hundred sheep. A local shepherd told the newspaper she 50 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,840 sniffed the sheep, mingled with the sheep and seems to 51 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,159 feel right at home with the sheep. She now behaves 52 00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:47,400 almost like a sheep, and she's taken to the herd 53 00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:50,840 without any problems. The sheep eventually moved on from the 54 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,599 pasture as sheep do. The cow stayed behind. The cow 55 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,439 is tranquilized. Was going to be a return of the owner, 56 00:02:56,599 --> 00:02:59,039 but the owner said, you know what, the cow ere 57 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,120 in this one. The cow was turned over to the 58 00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:06,039 local Animal Welfare Association. In a social media post, they 59 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,639 said of the cow, may her future be filled with happiness, 60 00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:12,400 care and a care free life in Australia where every 61 00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:15,360 third thing will kill you. Scientists have identified a new 62 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,639 species of solitary bee, notable for its distinctive, devil like 63 00:03:19,759 --> 00:03:23,800 facial horns. They've named it meg a chili lucifer. It 64 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,719 was discovered in the Goldfields region. It's the first new 65 00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:31,080 species added to the genus in two decades. Doctor Kit 66 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,719 Prendergrass of Kirtin University made the discovery and said the 67 00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:38,719 bee's appearance stood out, explaining the female had these incredible 68 00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:42,000 little horns on her face. Doctor Kit explained she happened 69 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,639 to be watching the Netflix series Lucifer while writing up 70 00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:47,280 the species description and in her words, the name fit 71 00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:51,120 just perfectly. And those are five good news stories for today. 72 00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:51,800 Have a good one.
