30 Year Old Fish Sauce Cleanup

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: St. Mary’s, Canada begins removing about 330,000 gallons of fermented fish sauce left in an abandoned Atlantic Seafood Sauce Company factory, with crews draining tanks, mixing the liquid with peat moss, and burying it in a prepared pit. In upstate New York, the Salamanca City Central School District postpones introducing “Sally,” a $60,000 robot teacher’s assistant, after questions from parents, teachers, and officials about data collection and concerns about robots replacing educators; union leader Melinda of NYSUT says students need relationships with caring adults, and Sally’s maker Realbotics is linked to RealDoll. In Australia, a library book missing since the 1870s is found bricked in a fireplace and returned after 150 years, with a calculated late fee of about 28,000 AUD but no penalty charged. Dutch students build a solar-powered ambulance, Stella Juve, designed for remote care and equipped with medical gear and a fold-out clinic tent. Finally, Pacifica, California hosts the World Dog Surfing Championships, where dogs compete by size and skill, including tandem and human-dog rides.
