Good News 1/13/17 – School Bus Driver

Here is the full story for today’s Good News!

Thanks to a school bus driver in Floyd, Virginia, some kids now have something extra to keep them warm while they’re outside in cold weather.

Sue Gladding bought 50 pairs of gloves and 40 hats – and handed them out to the kids on their way home from school.

The gift surprised the parents, but Sue says she had to do it.

She didn’t like seeing the children shivering in the morning and said it was worth it because she loves them all. (WDBJ-TV)

 

HOA’s – Do They Go Too Far????

Many neighborhoods across the country are managed by home owner association groups.

HOA’s are meant to keep neighborhoods looking nice and property values up. But do they ever go too far when they travel the streets looking for violators?

Some of the complaints people have with their HOA’s are failure to respond to inquiries in a timely manner, unreasonable delays in resolving homeowner problems, and inconsiderate or disrespectful tone when communicating with homeowners.

So what do you do if you have a problem with your HOA?  Experts say consider ways to achieve compromise in a dispute with the organization.  As a last resort, take legal action against the HOA.

The house that YouTube built

I once used YouTube to figure out how to fix a toilet. Turns out a family in Arkansas took this idea the nth degree and built an entire house using YouTube as their foundation. The story wasn’t all smiles, but the end product is totally inspiring. I may check out their book when it comes out.

What is the biggest “YouTube” project you have taken on?

Entertainment Update – 1/12/17 “Puppies”

Next week, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, making his big move into the White House. Remember when some of the biggest country stars took over the East Room at the White House back in 2011? Kris Kristofferson, Alison Krauss, Darius Rucker, Dierks Bentley and more took to the stage for President Obama and his guests, and they couldn’t have made the genre more proud.

During the final show of his RipCord tour in Australia, Keith Urban invited yet another fan to join him on stage. 19-year-old Ellen Tefanis had reached out to Keith during a Twitter chat, asking if she could play guitar for him at the show and he obliged. Keith must have a killer instinct about talented fans because, like all the others that have joined him in the past, this girl stole the show.

Good News: 1/12/17

Today’s Good News story starts with a prank that ended with a scholarship!

The University of Michigan men’s basketball team recently played a cruel joke on one of its players … but made up for it with a very happy ending.

A campus police officer walked into the team’s meeting on Monday holding a warrant for Andrew Dakich, a senior walk-on hoping to get some playing time. The officer told him he had been named in “a number of ongoing investigations.”

The stunned Dakich, who is known as a clean-cut, church-going type, was then told to gather his belongings and come with them to the compliance office … where he would then sign the papers to be awarded a full basketball scholarship for the winter semester.

His Wolverine teammates roared and congratulated him. The scholarship is worth about $30,000, which his parents have to be very excited about. (CBS Sports)
