01 - A Little Girl's Sock Puppet Became a Hero When He Landed A PlaneHumphrey 'Huggie' Bubblebumper became sentient some nine years ago when he was first given to his owner, Lydia Bubblebumper, by her aunt.
On that fateful day, Miss Bubblebumper, 9, as usual, had Huggie with her. She and her parents were on their way home to Happyville, AZ after visiting Miss Bubblebumper's Aunt Jillian. When Miss Bubblebumper stepped out of the restroom which just happened to be right next to the cockpit, the plane suddenly dipped sideways and the door to the cockpit flipped opened by one of the pilots who quickly fell unconscious.
Huggie jumped out of Miss Bubblebumper's arm and raced toward the cockpit. In a matter of seconds, he accessed the situation and jumped on the other pilot's lap and took hold of the yoke. As most of the instruments showed they were ready to land, Huggie landed the plane to safety with a little help from Miss Bubblebumper as he needed someone to add strength to control the yoke.
As to why the pilots were unconscious, it is revealed they had drank coffee with sleeping medicines that were meant for two passengers. Exactly 103 people were saved including 10 stewards and the two pilots. The mayor of Happyville award Huggie with a certificate of bravery and a lifetime supply of his favorite snack - Hershey's chocolate bar, which sadly, he cannot eat but Miss Bubblebumper can. When asked how he knew to fly a plane, Huggie replied that Miss Bubblebumper was reading

02 - Roberta Hood Struck AgainCitizens of Sherwood, TX, once again, was graced with the presence of Roberta Hood, also known as the modern Robin Hood.
On Tuesday night, while the Little family was at the hospital, thieves broke into their house and stole all their valuables and the cash in the safe. Mr. Little had fears of banks and kept his money in cash in a safe which had the upmost security locks. Mr. Little called the police but they had little chance of getting the money back. The family of ten did not fear losing their valuables but they needed the money for Anna, their youngest, for her heart surgery.
A week after the robbery, Roberta Hood struck. She returned all the stolen goods and all the cash. As we go to press, Anna Little had her surgery and is doing well. And the thieves are found outside the police station, tied and unconscious with a note stating their crimes plus the evidence to convict them.
It is unknown how Roberta Hood got into the house as the Little's locks were changed and security was tightened. But Hood got in and got out without any trouble. Mr. Little, his three sons and four daughters were home when it happened but they neither heard nor saw anything of Hood. They didn't know anything had happened until they woke up the next morning.
This counts as the 14th time Hood had struck but no one has yet know who she is. But we do know a few things: (1) Hood is a woman of considerable height, about six feet or more; (2) She likes chocolate as there are signs of chocolate stains wherever she had entered a facility; (3) She only returns goods or money to families who are in need; and (4) She never robs anyone. It is speculated Hood is a rich heiress but no one knows for certain. But, we at
Good News, knows, wherever Roberta Hood strikes, good things happen.
03 - 90-Year-Old Woman Became The Second Woman To Finish A 10-Mile Race10 miles is easy for most people but if you're over 90 years old and had two hip replacements, arthritis in both hands and is blind in one eye, then you know what Millicent Goodman has to go through. Goodman who preferred to go by Millie, never thought she would finish the race as it was always too exhausting for her but this year, she finished the race in 21 hours, 3 minutes and 51 seconds.
To celebrate her win, Millie held a party at her house along with her caretaker, two doctors, a nurse and her twenty or so children, grand and great-grand children. She invited everyone who can show up. Hundreds of people came with most being stuck outside as there was no room but drinks were handed out and everyone went home happy.
The Still Kicking & Quietly Screaming (SKQS) 10-Mile Race is held every year since 1950 and is sponsored by the SKQS Club in partnership with United for Unfussy Living (UUL). The SKQS race is for elderly folks over 65 or more years. Most folks who entered the race dropped out before the 5 miles. But last year, Jaclyn Nice, age 89, became the first to finish the race in 20 hours, 19 minutes and 3 seconds. Since then, Nice had succumbed to a heart attack.
Nice and Millie have been lifelong friends ever since they fought over a pencil in kindergarten. They had raced each other for every SKQS Race ever since they both became eligible some 25 years ago. When receiving her medal, Millie, said, "I wish Jacky is here with me. This would have been hers." Millie also received a check for 25,000 dollars tax-free which she said, half will go to charity and half to "spent however I like."
