Woman, 85, fights moose with shovel
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — An 85-year-old Alaska woman used a grain shovel to fend off an agitated moose that was stomping her husband. George Murphy says his wife saved his life.
The pilot, 82, was hiking with his golden retrievers near the Willow airport Friday. He saw the moose and dove in the snow, but the moose started stomping him.
His wife, Dorothea, who is 5 feet tall and weighs 97 pounds, grabbed a big shovel and hit the moose in the body and head. She ran for help, and Murphy was rushed by helicopter to an Anchorage hospital. He suffered a big gash to his head.
Disney will let park staff have beards
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Workers at Disney’s theme parks will be allowed to grow beards and goatees for the first time ever.
A Disney spokeswoman said the new policy will apply to workers in Florida and California starting next month. Disney had banned all facial hair on its theme park workers since Disneyland opened in California in the mid-1950s. The company revised its policy in 2000 to allow mustaches, provided they were grown on vacation and not at work.
Starting Feb. 3, beards, mustaches and other facial growth will be allowed.
Disney periodically reassesses its grooming requirements. The Disney spokeswoman says officials decided now was a good time to revise the hair policy.
The policy change also allows workers in areas without visitor contact to have casual Fridays.
