Moose Rescued!

A moose caught in an avalanche in Alaska has three passing men on snow machines to thank for surviving into the new year.
The men spotted what looked like a nose sticking up out of the snow field, and dug out the moose apparently unharmed.  It was trapped in the area of Hatcher Pass on Dec. 28, and one of the men, Marty Mobley, said that without the group’s help, it would not have survived.

Homeless Veterans Got Home

A historic building in New Orleans damaged by Hurricane Katrina is being renovated and is now housing eleven formerly homeless veterans.
On the Friday before Christmas, Darren Dalpiaz, a 48-year-old Army veteran, was one of the chronically homeless vets who moved into what’s being called their “forever home,” in the 1908 Sacred Heart convent and school.
When completed, the building will house 109 low-income families in apartments, with 54 of them set aside for formerly homeless individuals.

Winter Angels

With bitter cold weather and snow hammering the usual northern cities but also places that don’t know how to handle icy roads, the “Polar Vortex” of 2014 brought out the best in businesses and citizens who wanted to help strangers who were stranded. A Pennsylvania pizza shop owner contacted the media to advertise his willingness to make deliveries of prescriptions or food to the elderly and disabled. After 39 inches of snow (100 cm) stranded cars near Tokyo, the driver of a bakery truck decided, since the delivery could not likely be completed by the sell-by date, he would give away all the pastries and breads to those stuck on the roadway. Snow blowing gangs of men in Detroit and a Missouri 12-year-old cleared the way for the elderly and a hero in Illinois was driving around jump-starting cars for free. Sweetest of all, Atlanta residents hearing reports of stranded motorists, brought hot cocoa and sandwiches to stunned drivers.
