A month ago, a man in Arizona jumped into the chilly Arizona Canal to save another man and his dog, Smokey Bear.  The dog was watching the ducks from the edge, and had fallen in . . . pulling his owner in too.  The men reunited last week, and the hero said, “I don’t think I’m a hero.  I just think I’m human.”……….Two 12-year-olds in Massachusetts were hiking last Wednesday and found a grenade in a pile of trash.  So they took a picture, remembered where they were, and went to get an adult.  The town’s chief of police called them “wicked smaht” for how they handled it.  It turned out it was a real grenade, but wasn’t live…………..And finally…………. 

YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson . . . a.k.a. Greenville’s MrBeast . . . is making waves for all the right reasons.  He helped 1,000 people see again by getting them cataract surgery.  He started with 40 people at homeless shelters and free clinics in Florida.  Then a group helped him find more than 950 legally blind people all over the world who couldn’t afford the surgery, which only takes 10 minutes.  His video is great, especially the reactions when people see again for the first time.  And some got more than just a surgery.  He also surprised a few with $10,000 . . . one kid got 50 grand for college . . . and a guy who’s never been able to drive got the surgery, and then a brand new Tesla.  (Here’s the video.)
