Let's ride this is where you have even this is our American stories we tell stories about everything on the show me love your story similar to our American stories.com. Some of our favorites going to hear from Maria Eldon three is the zoological manager of Burt's St. Louis. You will be speaking on behalf of Emily 30-year-old penguin with arthritis just so happens to wear shoes Henrique as a penguin and he is and elderly parent has about 30 years old penguin time to live about 15 years old penguins that live in a very cushy life.

He is a gentle bird. He is really easy-going that unlike Prokop is a little that rappers are very vivacious, very in-your-face that Henrique has a softer side to him. He is quite a handsome little bird and he's got a girlfriend and apparently as we found out this morning. Another female light when she saw so this morning he had two girlfriends.

Henrique came to St. Louis to 2016 and he hired to do that had lived at Omaha sale talk to each other a lot and before any as he receives any animal. There is a lot of communication. What is animal like what does that not like behaviors that are good and maybe some that are not so good and the veterinarians also receive a lot of information about medical history.

He had signs of arthritis already at that point, so there is no surprise that we didn't just open a box of penguins say that one wasn't feeling well. We knew what we were getting and we were prepared and that's super important. With arthritis you notice that there slowing down a little bit, maybe not come out for food just as fast. Maybe wait for some of the more spry neighbors to run up to the food first and are keepers are really well versed and not only general bird behavior, but we hone in on the individuals to so when one is feeling off a little bit. We know right away. Henrique is an active swimmer and that's great. But we can have any topical creams that alleviate some of the arthritic pain they will conference away.

So thinking outside the box can help us. I think animal people are a special group of people where very few things surprise us because we have to think outside of the box so often that humans and arm is an arm and leg as a leg, but with animals there so much variation our veterinary team who are really great at coming up with all sorts of ideas found a company that makes little shoes for working dogs send dogs that just need additional help. After injuries so our vets were able to connect with that company.

We were able to trace Henrique's feet and get measurements and the amazing people who can sell very well made the shoes for him the first time I put them on.

He looked at his feet and looked at us and took off running.

What the shoes do is just to protect his feet and gave a little bit of extra padding for him. The original pair that was sent.

We found that he just needed a little bit more cushion and it needed to get a little bit more grip Prokop or penguins. Their feet are very important. They grip the rockets are climbing up, but because we just put shoes on him. He couldn't quite grip so we ended up receiving a second pair of shoes. Now this pair of shoes was hot pink on the bottom as opposed to the first fetishes, which was all black, but no one cared. If you just kinda looked some kind tried to come over and check it out, that he would just tell him know he is very vocal and so was her and figured out like he's back and let you mess with issues he was.

He is getting his golden it has become such a routine for him that he really doesn't mind and it makes little difference to his mates. So we do plan to monitor about 10 o'clock in the morning and take them off at about three is me Paris she just sees and go up and he comes back and she's like okay this is great. Sometimes you'll see him with his wing over her, which is very cute. It is nice that he does get some time to just be a penguin.

We really take his behavior into account.

We do know that it does provide some comfort just based on the way that he stands. We keep track on a weekly basis to make sure is he eating is he getting around and what we have seen is that he does swim with the boots on to and that's an important factor for Penguins Penguins should swim and he does still swim. He is still social with his mates in each other all the time and as long as he is doing those things and having a good appetite. We know that he is comfortable. Since we have tried this out. Our veterinarians have been in contact with a few others is who asked us how it went, and they considered it, were some of their Penguins.

So the shoes are spreading there a few other penguins are getting some relief to the opportunities to enrich the lives of our animals are endless and it really takes a lot of innovation and collaboration to continue to provide the best care for these animals is great that the story is getting out about Henrique and his shoes, but it is also such a minor thing for us to know we made them comfortable and that was our job.

There are so many other things that we do for animals that maybe are just not quite as visible, but also have a big impact and I just hope that this story helps the guests visit St. Louis to see the dedication we put into the care for all of our beautiful production work for Madison on the piece.

Joshua took the door to his entire story of our website. Our American stories.com. It's a great one, but overcoming hardship and taking responsibility for your life. Today we bring you a piece of the story begins after Josh decided to own up on alcohol dependency moved to Nashville that married and take his own life into his own hands Sunday and I had a job that Wednesday was working that following Monday and then out ever since that day and that was almost 3 years ago sought interview for FedEx. No Postal Service factory and UPS that we went after the Postal Service was that there always Harley tried to get a job I got there from going to post office and I hated hated hated hated hated to the point was about the money I would never ever have to do this ever again be a package handler at a post office distribution center sucks is the worst job ever known just as big a $16 an hour.

What do you work for a single penny every single penny from working as a package handler and I was on one of the harder lives because they just see me about a small guy so I was one of the toughest lines at the at the jobsite so I was in charge of 3 1/2 truck will respond to trucks. I have 3 1/2 trucks and when Abdul got crazy because there's like a boat. There was a top and a bottom, local packages like my goal weight room will nonlocal packages. Whatever. So what are local packages would fill up, I would have to start loading the truck go down on the bottom boat and help let me know that part just built a little more trucks again because the value is so crazy. We have instead of going to three in the morning we reported at 2 o'clock in the morning so from 2 o'clock in the morning to like it o'clock I would pick up boxes, no bathroom break, picking up boxes and just like I would never ever ever ever ever ever do this again. It wasn't so much that you could go to the bathroom. I just knew I went to the bathroom.

The Québec play catch-up persons not not go go do what I can't do this anymore, and then try to get a manager job doughnuts terrible.

I was there for two days as good. So the foot is 20,000 a post office condones the same time. For those two days left on the second day the very next day I went to the FedEx there's a security company there a lot universal, just like his house. That job is good. You know it's not bad looking at them and paid not really doing much of anything so slim that I should just go out on that and that day I applied for our universal process is great for me was great hysterical of the day the derma interview so in the paperwork in the application be clean-shaven and presentable so I went out got a haircut I had a full beard cut the whole beard almost cliché in my mind it's the interview, so I have I got a button up shirt and tie khakis and streusel. I go to the building boom like the walking past the room that I'm supposed to go to but in the room is like a bunch of people somewhat the wall place so late you sit out of this. You will perform at a computer, apply for L here from LA to review and she's like oh you're the right place man but I am the only person dressed up. I'm the only person dressed up in the entire room on laugh in muscle like you, they cannot be serious right now like who shows up like this for a job. I'm the only person dressed up that one girl in their slippers slippers for slippers on.

This post was "for a job interview, his growth crazy and I get high like that day.

I guess forms will present muscle to how I did my interview. I got a really good job site and I buy jobsite with the country music Hall of Fame. It was say it was a was a learning curve. It was it was when I first got there. So this is all new to me, this is I think this is like the second third month that I'm in the natural, even though anybody and all equipment.

I was in a quit working security and it wasn't so much that I didn't like the Hall of Fame. The leadership at the country Hall of Fame for security.

I was a man.

This this is not good like you do seem like people just doing whatever they wanted out of life. I will make you here, but I live I'm determine and pretty much like they hired me as part time there, but I ate up so many hours from people not showing up was to have events. I was I was getting like 40 hours just off of this and cover the shift and they end up after three weeks of me really working hard. I got offered a position not like to and I became the first supervisor and deftly made some changes that were working because I like I like to do. It works like this forever only give but you know what work 10 years ago the work today sometimes will have the letter she is not at work today you like you have to adapt was going on so I made some changes myself and the actual excitement of supervisor makes rational changes and you know we were building a better culture and a better relationship security standpoint with the client. The client will whole thing and I'm 100% believe that we did that not end up becoming the actual site of the entire thing and no running a staff will work over 30 people handling timesheets of payroll handling on scheduling from my leadership there from Omaha worked there. I've deftly built better relationships with the people at last universal security as well. As the country Hall of Fame and like I said, medications, everything.

Respect is everything. I think I've earned my respect with people and I think my meditation is very long-standing with the people that I've had to work with my experience. The work ethic test has to shine through me, so I was a site supervisor and I was doing €67 a week like steady and I'm doing that.

Also make sure that the initial demo although she wasn't taking care of. I'm sure like the new people get in their hours like I did just take hours because I disabled the hours I will let everybody that I will pick up the crumbs.

Everybody was given a piece to everyone's happy about is making money.

Everybody is comfortable, we change the training at the Hall of Fame where it was more hands-on resident. How was before was going let you know just figure it out and it was the music is a really really great experience for me to be there like anybody who came in who didn't have a car I make sure I made sure we got a lot of young people fresh out of high school and college would have caused all those people who came with the young people to have cars on visual they all got cars now like a big thing for me was at least hoping young people will get their accomplishments in at least pushing them along residence and work here.

Monty Montgomery and Jim Harwood of Waterloo was loose talk 1540 K60 8 AM is the author of ball hawks sports history about the Waterloo Hawks professional basketball team used to during the era just after World War II.

Waterloo had around 70,000 people, give or take. Waterloo is an industrial city. It's in the middle of the farm belt but it was the first place where John Deere tractors were ever built, big manufacturing base that might've been more reminiscent of a rustbelt city in Ohio or Indiana or Michigan. But the story isn't about John Deere tractors. It's about basketball Waterloo Hawks basketball. The clocks of the late 1940s and into the first years of the 1950s were unique because they were of course the only major league level team that Iowa has ever had. Going beyond Waterloo, unique circumstance for the entire state and Waterloo is in the right place at the right time to understand why Waterloo ever had a professional basketball team.

We have to go back back to the Great Depression during the depression era. The best professional basketball players in the United States played for barnstorming teams travel around the country, they wouldn't have a set schedule pickup games as they could find them and the real stars of the era, they could make a very good living. In fact, a better living doing that than they could try and play for one team likely to were three games a week why the latter years of the depression into the mid to late 1930s there was a major league that formed it was called the national basketball league eventually and name is something of a misnomer if you think of sports that are in the national basketball Association of the National Football League with big major leaks that we have today because the game took root in places like Fort Wayne, Indiana and Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and there were a variety of reasons for that they had to industrial faces many of the teams of that era were: flight companies and so the players who took those opportunities not only in many cases, play basketball, but also worked for the company that might've owned the teamwork for another large business in the community, the national basketball league. Once the preeminently though World War II coming out of warriors, the owners of major marinas in the East, primarily Madison Square Garden, Boston Garden Chicago Stadium more toward the Midwest and others got together and looked basketball at the pro level as something that could fill their buildings stay in many cases had success with college basketball games, particularly at Madison Square Garden during the 1930s and 40s, and thought that they could fill 25 to 30 or maybe more dates in their buildings that otherwise might be idle with professional basketball. They form their only the basketball Association of America, and for a few years, post-World War II national basketball league basketball Association of America competed against each other and level of competition rose became challenging to try to get prestige became challenging to try to attract top players bidding wars for players. In some cases that got expensive because it wasn't merely the money in the national basketball in the 1940s that there is today. It was a matter of determining who would control the future of professional basketball. They came up with a variety of ways to try to approach that situation but in the off-season between the 1947, 48 schedule and the 4849 season, the basketball Association of America hijacked four of the MBL's teams in their entirety. They talk to the owners of the Minneapolis Lakers in the Fort Wayne Pistons and teams in Rochester, New York and Indianapolis, Indiana, jumping from one link to the other. So the national basketball league in the summer of 1948 teams to fill out their roster of cities that would be able to make them a viable leak and they were able to add a few different clubs including the team and Waterloo. The clocks came into being because they have all the right elements in place. They had a hippodrome building on the national cattle Congress fairgrounds that could seat 7 to 8000 people. They had a basketball floor that was in place that was brand-new and they had a reputation already for supporting sports teams. They also were in very fortunate circumstance because only local wood moved on and become a wrestling promoter primarily in the morning had come in the possession of the team's roster that played in Toledo. The franchise rights had gone to former boxer and an boxing promoter wrestling promoter named Pinky George Pinky had been a fighter in the 1920s and alternately had managed to make a career as a promoter through the Great Depression actually managed a couple of boxers who would fight Joe Lewis during their careers as they made their way up to the top of the boxing world and have a chance at the legendary champion of the era.

He had originally intended to bring professional basketball to the morning, but the details just didn't come together wasn't the kind of support that he was hoping to have challenging to find a venue to put the team in and so because he was familiar with Waterloo after having grown up right next door in Cedar Falls decided that the hawks in the hippodrome and there was a lot of dues yes. And for that immediately from the Waterloo fans who always I think felt like this city have a lot to offer.

They felt like they had big shoulders for a small city think would be a fair way to describe it. And so when they had this opportunity. They jumped what the situation was still untenable between two weeks.

The basketball Association of America hadn't extinguished the MBL, the national basketball league was still hanging on, and with bidding wars for players with the efforts that both entities were having to put forth to try to claim that they were the preeminently it finally became inevitable and you can tell from the acronyms that the two leagues used the MBL and the BAA would come together, they merge and become the NBA, they lost several teams in the process. Waterloo was determined the community and its leaders were determined that they really keep the team in the city and have a chance to play against opponents from New York and Boston and Philadelphia and all of the places that you really do think of as major-league destinations then and now Waterloo had its place as they sought as the people of the time slot in major league basketball they had players who were all Americans.

They had visiting teams coming in that had stars. The people knew from years in college and would going on in the professional basketball they had players from the World War II era who had served during the war. Prior to returning to college and then ultimately becoming professional basketball players and you been listening to Tim Harward of Waterloo was news talk 1540 KX ELA M this story of a league we all now know, and the maturation of professional sports and hearing about these two leagues finally in the end, the MBL and the BAA merging to form what we all now know as the NBA come back more of the story of the Waterloo Hawks little piece of American sports history.

But before we get into the rest of the story we have to know who the players on the hawks were there again is Tim Harward arguably the biggest star for the Hawks initially was a player named Harry boy, at one point he actually held the scoring record for Madison Square Garden as a college player of big guy, a lanky center and not particularly fleet of foot but had tremendous personality at the same time actually had to play for a season in Toledo before he came to Waterloo. He chose the MBL because the team in Toledo offered to get him a job that would keep him busy was an accounting major at St. John's and so one to put his business skills to use. Took a an offer to go play in Toledo because they could promise of a job during the off-season that would supplement his basketball income. Another all-American player was from the University of Tennessee's name Dick Meehan and he was the biggest scoring star for the Waterloo Hawks during their season in 1948, 49, when they were in the national basketball league. He was among the top scores in league that season me and actually was leaving the Air Force that point within the Army air Corps during World War II. It was quite a bit different in that era.

Today we think of athletes regardless of their sport training year-round and it's a full-time job to be an athlete in that era 1940s and into the 1950s players would arrive at the start of the season and delete have a couple of weeks and that would be when they would be getting in shape and during the off-season, there wasn't a tremendous amount of training. There were a lot of rules regarding what players could do with their time.

For some players actually in the air and you don't see this at the NBA level today that I can think of in any sense where there were players that in some cases would play professional sports in baseball players in the summertime basketball in the winter, so when they would arrive in the fall they would train for a few weeks to play a few preseason games strung together and dive right into the schedule after that. It's interesting that a lot of players have off-season jobs. Typical average players contracts is a special basketball athlete in the 40s and 50s might've been in the range of $4500 a year 5000 summer last summer. More although that was a reasonably good my mind me making for six months. For many players, college educated who had aspirations to the executives or to have careers that would be fitting for their college degrees. They were working some other job in the off-season on the assumption that they were only to be professional basketball players for a few years that have a whole lifetime ahead of them, where they would need to earn an income. Waterloo's first NBA game was actually against the New York Knicks in October 1949 and was a tremendous way to start Waterloo's time in this new league after being what they considered a major league basketball city for one year now to begin the second season of major league professional basketball Hawks were hosting New York Knicks. It was Waterloo in Northeast Iowa literally over a thousand miles away, hosting a team that is coming on their own private rail car from New York and was the epitome it was the team from New York and that's all that mattered.

And so Waterloo on opening night in 1949, 50, hosted the nicks and hung with them, but New York took that game by the final of 68 to 60. Just a few days later, the Hawks beat the Boston Celtics four days after hosting New York Knicks and beat them pretty soundly. 80 to 66 and that was the first win for Waterloo against an opponent in the national basketball Association. In a lot of ways that's the highlight of the Fox story.

What seems like the nicks and Philadelphia warriors Boston Celtics were particularly excited about putting Waterloo Hawks on their marquee and so they found some creative ways to get around posting home games against Waterloo they would play doubleheaders where the team in Philadelphia might play the team from Baltimore and the undercard game. The early game was New York versus Waterloo that would be in Philadelphia and then Waterloo would be in New York for example, and might play Baltimore or Philadelphia while the Knicks played a more prestigious opponents, at least in more prestige in terms of the city that they came from. The Hawks did play in Madison Square Garden just before Christmas in 1949, but they didn't play the nicks they play the Philadelphia warriors instead in the nicks had a different opponent that night. Put the did end up seeing just about all of the major venues of the air that were hosting professional basketball and it just wasn't against the team that you might've expected on the opposite bench in the 1948, 49 season. The Hawks were competitive. They were very successful early on and you could say that they they ran out of gas. You could argue that they were either the sixth of the seventh best team in the nine team national basketball league during that season and into the start of 1949, 1950 NBA season. The Hawks were a slower, more methodical team. They weren't as athletic as some of the opponents that they faced and that was probably their downfall.

They also dealt with some injuries, particularly in the 1948, 49 season that slowed them down when things appeared otherwise be going along pretty well and the Hawks finish near the bottom of their division fifth out of six teams in 1949 for in the spring of 1950 there was a sentiment among the large cities.

Among the owners among media that a city like New York and a city like Waterloo or Sheboygan Wisconsin shouldn't be in the same week.

They were they were nonpar as far as some of the owners sought and as far as many of the columnists for the major papers sought so the national basketball Association worked through a couple of ideas that they thought might push some of the smaller city teams out of the NBA player. For example, had to put up a $50,000 performance bond where if the team couldn't operate ran out of money couldn't pay its players couldn't make its road trips and failed to be a functioning entity within the NBA that $50,000 bond before for him to be back by an insurance company or bank will Hawks in the Sheboygan Redskins rim to manage that, because they had tremendous community support. In both cases, and so they went to the league meetings in April 1950, and ultimately the rest of the league voted to exclude Waterloo Sheboygan and Denver from the scheduling process that was really the end for major league professional basketball in Waterloo and like to read something from the local paper Waterloo Courier.

This was an article from just a few years after Waterloo had had a team in the NBA, recapping the era and the article says the fortunes of pro basketball fluctuated into even when crowds were good. There was one difficulty or another, sometimes losing season sometimes mounting expenses and sometimes strife within a league itself Waterloo pro basketball fans always have insisted that the city would be in the NBA today if big-city members had not forced out smaller cities.

I think that captures the sentiment of Waterloo in the early 1950s and the disappointment that many people felt that it had something been taken away from them and in many ways.

That's why the story of Waterloo Hawks isn't really well-known today, even in Waterloo itself because at the time the people who'd made it happen. Who it may basketball viable in Waterloo at the highest level of pro basketball at the time. I think really felt the disappointment wasn't something they wanted to brag about.

We look at it today as being a major accomplishment for the city of 70 or 80,000 people to have a team playing against opponents New York and Philadelphia and Boston and you been listening to Tim Harward of Waterloo.
