Today
we visit with filmmakers Jay and Sofia Lyons about their new film
“THE LONG GOODBYE: The Kara Tippetts Story” The DVD features
Kara, her family and friends, as well as Joanna Gaines and others.
Kara
was thrust into the spotlight when her letter to Brittany Maynard
went viral. Brittany made headlines when, after a brain tumor
diagnosis, she chose to move to Oregon to die via assisted suicide.
Kara’s viral letter was a message of grace, begging Brittany to
reconsider and live out her life - as long as she is given.

An
alleged shoplifter in California took her time enjoying the fruits of
her crime. Police in Lathrop say Elysia Johnson placed several items
into a shopping cart and hand basket at a Target store Saturday
afternoon. She also grabbed a six-pack of Stella Artois beer and
headed for the dressing room. She reportedly stayed in the dressing
room for more than an hour, drinking the six beers, then leaving the
store without paying for anything. Police said she had over $200
worth of stolen items in her possession when she was stopped. Johnson
was held by Target's loss prevention officers and she was later taken
to the San Joaquin County Jail, where she was charged for shoplifting
and on three other warrants. The Sacramento Bee reported those
warrants were for petty theft, battery and resisting, and obstructing
or delaying a peace officer. (https://bit.ly/2CcID96)

Solo Synchronized Swimming Was Once an Olympic Sport
If
you thought tug of war was weird, the Los Angeles Games of 1984 saw
the introduction of solo synchronized swimming. Sounds like an
oxymoron, but it worked something like a ballet in the water—the
“synchronized” part refers to the swimmer staying in sync with
the music, not other swimmers. American took home top prize that
year, with Tracie Ruiz nabbing the gold. The sport was discontinued
by the IOC in 1992.

A Fort Lauderdale man called 9-1-1 after going to the bathroom and finding a bright green iguana swimming in his toilet. The man called the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission first but was told it doesn’t respond to that type of call. So that’s when he called 9-1-1. Fort Lauderdale Battalion Chief Stephan Gollan tells CBS4 News partner The Miami Herald the man “freaked out and didn’t know what to do.” He says firefighter Jeff Kurus put on a sterile glove, reached in, and grabbed the iguana. He took it outside and released it into the wild. Gollan says the department “is the end-all-be-all” when it comes to unique calls. The department tweeted pictures of the iguana, adding “can you imagine lifting the toilet lid and finding this?” (https://cbsloc.al/2T9nRgl)

According
to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office in Florida, a Spiderman mask
hastily purchased at a thrift store wasn't enough to keep one Florida
man from being identified during a burglary at a liquor store.
Deputies said they recently nabbed Edward “Fast Eddie” Wilburn
after he stole bottles and cigarettes from a liquor store in
unincorporated Casselberry. Surveillance video from the store shows
Wilburn with his face covered in a Spiderman mask, grabbing multiple
bottles and putting them into a box before running away. According to
Deputy Bruce Milne, the mask might have worked if Wilburn hadn't
originally approached the store without the disguise. Surveillance
video from before the break-in showed the first attempt. Milne said,
"To me, it was just a matter of absolute surprise that he would
walk up to the door first, try to break in, then it starts clicking
in his head that, 'Oh I might get recognized if I do this without a
mask on.’” (https://bit.ly/2UH4BZ8)
