1 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media. Hey, I'm Jennie Mack and I'm gonna 2 00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:13,240 lay there because I didn't have my scriptop. But I 3 00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:15,480 could redo it, but I just find it's more fun 4 00:00:15,519 --> 00:00:18,160 to leave these things natural and honest. A good job 5 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,079 out of private chef Maddy Goldberg. She has spent years 6 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,719 working in fine dining, but these days she's just as 7 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,960 likely to be found cooking at a Toronto food bank 8 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,079 and sharing the results online. Once a week, she sets 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,359 up the kitchen at the York Fort Food Bank, where 10 00:00:33,399 --> 00:00:36,560 she has about two hours to turn whatever leftover ingredients 11 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,200 she has into roughly one hundred meals. She told CBC, 12 00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:42,200 I don't care who I'm cooking for. It's the same. 13 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,640 I'm going to be producing the same food obviously, I'm 14 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,679 just using different ingredients and the inspiration is maybe a 15 00:00:47,679 --> 00:00:50,000 little different at a food bank, but technique wise, it's 16 00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:53,679 exactly the same. She initially was working with basic pantry 17 00:00:53,719 --> 00:00:56,640 staples like potatoes and eggs, but word quickly spread throughout 18 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,439 Toronto's community. Other chefs began reaching out with excess ingredients 19 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,520 left over from pop up events. She told the CBC, 20 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,640 good quality ingredients they can't fathom throwing out every single 21 00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:10,280 cucumber I'm chopping right now is imperfect, but I'm going 22 00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:13,000 to turn it into something delicious and visually appealing. I 23 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,640 think that's hopefully going to be the new realm of 24 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,040 fine dining. Food's not perfect, but see how amazing I 25 00:01:17,079 --> 00:01:20,560 can make a taste. Nice job by Cassie. Fifteen years ago, 26 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,640 she founded Broken Biscuits, a charity that supports disabled dogs. 27 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,959 With the help of generous donors, friends, and volunteers, they 28 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,239 have built what is believed to be the first dog 29 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,040 park specifically for disabled dogs. The seven acre park includes 30 00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:37,439 a racetrack and skate rink for dogs and wheelchairs, where 31 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,760 dogs can pass their learner driver's test after being outfitted 32 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,239 with their wheelchairs. There's also a cafe in fixtures like 33 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,760 stables and the small houses for shy dogs. They're also 34 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,319 live cameras twenty four to seven so owners and volunteers 35 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,680 can monitor the puppies to make sure they're playing safely. 36 00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:56,879 The organizations shared in a social media post tripause, blind death, paraplegics, 37 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,760 iveded Warriors, congenital birth deformities, amputies and where different is great, 38 00:02:01,959 --> 00:02:05,480 Let's celebrate it loud and proud. Now good news if 39 00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:08,199 you host a podcast called five Good News Stories and 40 00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:10,599 you're recording your show and you're like, oh wait, you 41 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,479 already did this story here. Remember the guy sticking matches 42 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,439 up his nose. You did that already, So that can't 43 00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:17,960 be number three. So good news that you have a 44 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,400 friend in Richard. Richard listens to the show, and he 45 00:02:20,439 --> 00:02:23,360 had earlier today, as I'm recording this, sent me a 46 00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:27,479 story Richard saving the day. Thank you friend, And Richard 47 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,639 has brought us good news about a critter called a fisher. 48 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,840 The fisher was spotted in an Ohio County for the 49 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,240 first time since the eighteen hundreds. Cleveland metro Parks went 50 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,080 on Instagram. They shared trail cattage footage of a fisher. Now, 51 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,360 I don't know what a fisher is. I'm from Queens, 52 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,039 New York City. We had pigeons. Is it a bird? 53 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,960 Is it an animal? I don't even know what to google. 54 00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:52,280 I googled fisher animal. I'm learning on the fly. Here 55 00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:57,000 Wikipedia tells me the fisher is a carnivorous mammal native 56 00:02:57,039 --> 00:03:00,159 to North America, A forest creature whose range covers most 57 00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:03,280 of the boreal forest in Canada into the northern United States. 58 00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:07,000 The fisher is similar to, but larger than, the American martin, 59 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,840 again from Queens, New York City. That's not helping me yet. 60 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,439 Fishers have few predators besides humans. They've been trapped since 61 00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:15,800 the eighteenth century for their fur. Their pelts were in 62 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,479 such demand that it became locally extinct in several parts 63 00:03:18,479 --> 00:03:20,639 of the US in the early part of the twentieth century. 64 00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:24,360 Despite the name fisher, the animal is not known to 65 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,400 eat fish. The name is related to the word fisch, 66 00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:30,680 meaning a European polecat. Okay, now I know how to 67 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,199 describe it. It's kind of like a pole cat. The 68 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,400 metro Parks said, this is tremendously exciting as this is 69 00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:39,319 yet another native Ohio and mammal species to be documented 70 00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:41,680 for the first time in Cleveland Metroparks. The return of 71 00:03:41,719 --> 00:03:45,159 fishers and other species like otters, bobcats, and trumpeter swans 72 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,599 or a result of conservation efforts and emphasized the importance 73 00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:51,800 of our healthy forests, wetlands, waterways and natural areas in 74 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,639 Cleveland water Parks. The fisher has had a similar comeback 75 00:03:55,719 --> 00:03:58,960 in neighboring Pennsylvania. Richard, thanks for sending that one. Over 76 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,319 that was clutched today, Buddy. Nice job by the Olympias 77 00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:06,560 Music Foundation. They take musical instruments to get thrown away, 78 00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:08,879 they rescue them, fix them up, and place them into 79 00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:11,280 the hands of kids who otherwise would have access. The 80 00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:14,360 Olympius Music Foundation recently gave a one hundred and fourteen 81 00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:17,439 year old repaired cello to a student named Jason. You know, 82 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,199 I should look these guys up. When my mother passed away, 83 00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:23,240 we were cleaning out her apartment and I got possession. 84 00:04:23,319 --> 00:04:25,439 Is it's still here? Did my wife snipe this thing? 85 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:26,959 I'm gonna be so mad if she did. No, it's 86 00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:30,519 still here. I have this accordion. It is not new, 87 00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:33,759 and I looked on eBay. It's not like it's super 88 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,879 valuable or anything. But I'm like, I'm not gonna just 89 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,480 throw this thing away. I don't know what to do 90 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,439 with it, but it's been sitting here. It's right behind 91 00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:41,439 me in the office where I record because my wife 92 00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:43,399 doesn't come in here and this is where I hide things. 93 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,720 She'll be so mad if she finds out I didn't 94 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,000 throw away the acordian. But I don't want to just 95 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,319 throw away the accordion. I should reach out to the 96 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,079 Olympius Music Foundation. The Recycled Orchestra Project collects unwanted violins, cellos, 97 00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:56,879 and flutes, trains teachers to do basic repairs, and gives 98 00:04:56,879 --> 00:04:59,399 the restored instruments along with free lessons to kids from 99 00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:03,319 low income amilies. All right, another Aguinness World record by 100 00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:06,279 that guy David record breaker Rush, who has way too 101 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,199 much free time. He has broken the record for most 102 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,600 T shirts worn during a half marathon. The previous record 103 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,360 one hundred and eleven the new record one one hundred 104 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,959 and thirty seven T shirts, which is forty eight pounds 105 00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:21,959 of shirts. He had attempted to break the record at 106 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,800 the famous Idaho Potato half marathon, but had to call 107 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,800 it off when he reached one hundred and fourteen T 108 00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:30,279 shirts and started to lose circulation in his neck. Yeah, 109 00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:33,839 the record's not worth that, buddy. But he came back 110 00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:37,600 and tried the record again once again at the famous 111 00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:40,920 Idaho Potato half marathon. This time he managed to finish 112 00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:43,319 the race while wearing one hundred and thirty seven shirts. 113 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,040 I didn't see a time there, probably about an hour 114 00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:48,480 faster than I would finish it wearing one T shirt. 115 00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:52,240 Rush said it was a mix of determination, creativity, endurance, 116 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,199 and a lot of T shirts. And those are your 117 00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:56,600 five good news stories for today, Richard. Thank you, see 118 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,079 you tomorrow.
