Good morning. Im jane pauley and this is sunday morning. To begin, a question. How did the Mountain Lion get to the other side of the road . Increasingly, the answer to that question and a plus for all kinds of animals is there is a bridge or tunnel for them to cross safely and uneventfully. This morning well tell you about a nationwide effort to build critter crossings. But we have more serious fair to share as well. The internet has forever changed the way we look for love. Still, Online Dating doesnt always lead to happily ever after. Along with the dreamers who do anything for love, there are scammers willing to steal their money or do far worse. Cbs news has been investigating this online treachery for months, and this morning from jim axlerod the first in a weeklong series of reports.

All across america, critters are crossing the road, and more and more of them, Conor Knighton tells us, are doing it in style. Reporter interstate 90 is the longest interstate highway in the united states, spanning more than 3,000 miles, it connects seattle in the west to boston in the east. But it also serves as a Massive Concrete divide. For the animals who live to the north and south of the interstate, this road has absolutely wrecked their commute. Is there a rush hour for the animals . Yes. They tend to be nocturnal, or crepuscular, sort of at dawn or dusk. Reporter pat garveydarda is a wildlife biologist with the u. S. Forest service. Brian white works for the Washington State department of transportation. Together their two organizations teamed up to develop a network of critter crossings in washington. Overpasses and underpasses designed to provide safe passage for wildlife. The fact that you have one here and one here, is that because you identified both of those areas as areas that animals are likely to cross . Yes. Reporter the crossing project spans 15 miles of i90 near the Snoqualmie Pass in washington. Flanked by chunks of whats primarily National Forest land. Habitat for all sorts much creatures great and small. If they are protected on both sides, why does it matter if they are connected . Because you lose genetic variability and gradually you start getting localized extinction and populations get further and further apart and smaller. Reporter around the country, most animals see a busy highway and turn around. Few may try to cross, but they are at risk of getting run over. A wildlife crossing is supposed to make that process far less treacherous. But there is no guarantee if you build it, they will come. There is a wildlife sign back there. Is that helping . The animals look at that and they are like, okay, this is the way to go . Miles of fencing funnel animals to crossing points. High concrete walls block headlights and dull traffic noise. We want to mimic the habitat on either side, native plants and everything, so that animals sort of dont even see the transition. Reporter it worked. In 2023, cameras captured animals using the crossings more than 5,000 times. Including mule deer, elk, and coyotes. When this project started, was there some other example that you were looking at as a Success Story to model this after . Well, banff, canada, comes to the top of the list. Reporter the section the transcanada highway that cuts through Banff National park used as a model for crossings worldwide. Banffs 38 undercrossings and six overcrossings reduced wildlife collisions by 80 . Back in the u. S. , there are now around 1,500 wildlife crossing structures in 43 states. And wyoming, pronghorn run across highway 191. In florida, panthers and alligators creep under i75. They can be subtle. Motorists may have no idea they are driver over moose in montana or tunnels full of tortoises in utah. But it will be hard to miss this crossing. Not far from los angeles, they are building the largest Wildlife Corridor in the country. I really wish it had been the smallest. I could have gotten years of my life back, trying to help raise the money and the public support. Reporter beth pratt serves adds regional executive director for the National ChristmasTree Lighting in california. Once completed in 2025, the wall crossing will stretch for more than 200 feet across ten lanes of the 101 freeway, which can see up to 400,000 vehicles a day. I think thats a real miracle that over one of the busiest freeways in the world you are going to be driving under it, a Mountain Lion, fox might be walking over, or a fence lizard or a ground squirrel may have a family on top. Thats a hopeful project. And we owe it to p22. Reporter this p22. The celebrated Mountain Lion who roamed around l. A. s griffith park. When he was younger he made it across two freeways only to end up a lonely hollywood bachelor until his death in 2022. Reporter but even for the Mountain Lions who can find mates, the dates are a little too close to home. Biologists worry the small population here could soon go extinct. Its almost certain that the cats over here that are breeding are related to each other in some way. Reporter and somewhere over there . Yeah. If you were on tinder and the matches you are getting are family members, icky, yeah. Reporter the crossing which is estimated to cost 90 million will expand the dating pool. Thats important for all sorts of critters, even ones who arent as obviously charismatic. Back underneath i90, professor jason irwin and his team of Central WashingtonUniversity Students are focused on everything from toads to salamanders. Its fantastic. Its really been fantastic to work on a project where they appreciate the little guy. Reporter there are also human lives at stake. There are parts of the country where Traffic Safety means installing a new crosswalk at a busy intersection. There are other parts of the country where Traffic Safety means things like wildlife crossings. Reporter last year, transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg announced a federal Grant Program awarding a total of 350 million to states looking to build crossings and improve safety. There are approximately 1 million collisions involving large wildlife on americas roads each year resulting in some 200 human deaths. If you think about it that way and you think about how many accidents didnt happen, these crossing structures pay for themselves pretty fast. Reporter brian white has already seen a reduction in collisions where the crossings have been built. Fewer road closures means faster commutes for everyone. This is showing the wildlife collisions incidents that we had along the corridor. This is before we started work, before we had the fence up. This is what it looks like now. Reporter even though the crossing construction in los angeles hasmento occasional slowdowns and lane closures, pratt says the public has been able to stay focused on the benefits down the road. Wildlife crossings are something, it doesnt matter if youre a republican or a democrat or what political affiliation, people really support them. I think there is very few people who dont get upset when they see a dead animal on the side of the road. So i think that this is something that in a time where we agree on very little, we pretty much agree on wildlife crossings. What if there was a cruise that felt like no other .

He also has a passion to write, and many have labeled his latest book a masterpiece. Tracy smith reads the fine print. Reporter dr. Abraham verghese vicechair of education at the Stanford University school of medicine. He is actually an expert in bedside manner, teaching medical students about the importance of the human touch. Dr. Verghese is all about the power of connection here and in his other calling. The got story goes beyond what a forgiving god cares to do. It reconciles families and unburdens them of secrets whose bond is stronger than blood. But in their revealing, as in their keeping, secrets can tear a family apart. Reporter these words are from the bestselling book the covenant of water, and they are as lush and vibrant as the world they describe. The book is set between 1900 and 1970 in kerala, a coastal territory in india full of lakes, waterways, lagoons, back waters, and in every generation in this particular family i focus on, one or more members drowns. Reporter the drownings are just one of the mysteries in this familys story of a beloved mate rack, decades of enduring love and tragic deaths sometimes excruciating for him to write about. Did it have you in tears . I cried reading it. Did you cry writing it . No matter how many times, it was tough. It was new. Losing somebody. Reporter the covenant of water is a difficult book to describe in a few words. Its even tougher to sum up the life of the author. Abraham verghese was born in ethiopia to indian parents. His mother was a teacher who caught taught her boys early on the value of education. Brother george on the right is now a professor at m. I. T. After medical school, dr. Verghese took a residency in in johnson city, tennessee, in the 80s, where he found a growing number of people with hiv, which at that point in time was fatal. The experience made him want to tell the world about what he saw and the people he met. A lot of their messages were, you know, dont postpone your dreams. Lifes too short to postpone the things you want to do. One day, this might transpire. And so all of those things kind of came together at that moment, and i was going to write this book. Reporter you had to write the book . I had to write the book. Reporter in the winter of 1990, he put his medical practice on hold, cashed in his retirement and moved his young family to the university of iowa and their acclaimed writing program. I tell you, if you do that, it makes you take yourself seriously as a writer. I could no longer say i am dabbling in this stuff. I was all in. Reporter yeah, you committed. I was. Reporter the resulting book, my own country, was a sensation. A subsequent novel, 2009s cutting for stone spent two years and the bestseller list. His second novel, the covenant of water, was closest to his heart. Inspired by and dedicated to his mother, who died in 2016. Yeah, the inspiration was very much my mom and the strong women around my mother, such as her motherinlaw and her mother. You know, these were sort of heroic women who lived quiet lives. The world would never know about their heroism, never know how much tragedy they went through tha. Reporter their story spans three generations. He used these whiteboards to keep it all straight. How does this help you form the story . You know, i think it was really not helpful in the way people imagine where it was like an architectural plan. I think this was me sort of beginning to see the characters, to visualize them for myself. Reporter after ten years, he finally got the covenant of water published and then a form of literary lightning struck. Welcome to all the Book Club Members who are watching us on oprah daily. Im thrilled for this conversation. Reporter oprah called you to give you a heads up that she was choosing your book . I hear this beautiful resonate voice, melodious wife saying, hi, this is oprah. I stood up. I have tremendous respect for her. Reporter you stood up . I stood up. I dont know of anybody else in our culture that has brought more readers to books. The covenant of water on her list. I made it easier for her and gave her a copy. Reporter not only did she choose his book, is she physically handed out copies of it and she plans to make it into a movie. Oprah is not the only big fan. It was on former president obamas list of favorite books from 2023. I mean, i am incredibly lucky. I dont know that i can point to it being all my skills. Certainly not. You need a lot of luck when you produce a book. Reporter what do you think your mother would make of all of this . I think my mother would be delighted. Our parents are not particularly demon demonstrative in terms of the things they say, but i think she would have been very pleased. Reporter if this is his opening his heart to the world, the world has answered in kind. Lovely to meet you. Reporter the book stayed on the New York Times bestsellers list for 37 weeks. The story inspired by his mother has taken on a life of its own. Something even the esteemed doctor finds hard to explain. Its amazing. Its a bestseller in italy, south africa, you know, when i hear these things, i dont know what to say. I get these pieces of good news coming to me. For example, cbs sunday morning is something to be talking to you. It feels beyond me. Reporter what do you mean . Well, just i, you know, i did something, but i didnt do the whole thing.

One of the preeminent environmental photographers of our time. Thats it. You got it. Reporter if you ever decide to try your hand at climbig a 70foottall wall of ice, its helpful to have a guide who knows quite a bit about frozen water. Thanks for taking me ice climbing. You are welcome. Thats harder than it looks. No joke, right . Reporter what fascinates you about ice . Its so weird looking. Compared to every other material, you see on the surface of the earth, i feel like i am entering this other realm, other kingdom. Reporter we met up with james balog at the ouray ice park in colorados box canyon. But he has visited some of the most remote and remarkable kingdoms of ice all over the planet, capturing stunning images of these severe and surreal landscapes. As an environmental photographer. The big problem with being a photographer is that you have to be there and you have to see something and you have to turn it into something inside that little rectangle. I think of it as an adventure with a purpose. Reporter for decades that purpose has been to document the dramatic climatic changes happening our our warming planet, vanishing ice, rising seas, the floods, the fires, and the toll its taking on all living things. Balog has become one of the foremost chroniclers of humancaused Climate Change. So many of the things that you have actually documented no longer exist. Mmhmm. Reporter do you think about that . On the ice project, i think about that all the time. Im stunned by it. Reporter you are a bit of a convert. You were a Climate Change skeptic at one point . Well, yeah. I just had this reflexive human assumption that our little species wasnt Strong Enough to change this huge organism called nature with a capital n. Then i realized that assumption was wrong and that i needed to somehow express the reality of what was going to on through the pictures. Thats what became the ice project. Reporter balog founded the extreme ice survey in 2007. A network of 27 cameras watching over glaciers from antarctica to alaska. Iceland to greenland. Each providing thousands of images per year that, when combined, reveal how quickly we are reshaping our planet. Look at that. Reporter the 2012 documentary chasing ice shows the moment balogs team captured one of the largest ice calving events ever recorded. As a massive piece of ice the size of Lower Manhattan broke off of the Greenland Ice sheet. When i started the extreme ice survey, Climate Change was still seen as a pretty abstract thing. It was something that was going to happen 20 or 30 or 50 years from now. And my god, when you start to realize, no, its happening right now, right in front of us, it put real marker in time to say, this is now. This is real. Reporter and balog is also using his camera to prepare us for whats to come. He shot this series on Sea Level Rise in the chesapeake bay. The woman vanessa with her son trey on her back standing in the water, it expresses the idea of sea level that the ocean levels will be different when that little boy is grown up. Than they are today, when vanessa is standing in the water and im standing in the water with them. I get a little choked up because these historical weights sometimes trigger something in my head. It symbolically evokes this fact that the kids will live in a different world than the parents do. Reporter balog has spent the fast four years sorting through and editing nearly 2 million of his photos. He recently delivered many of them to the library of congress where they will join the Permanent Collection alongside iconic environmental photographs such as Dorothea Langes images from the dust bowl during the great depression. Very iconic image. Reporter micah messenger is a photography curator at the library. Just photographs are drawing on these points and addressing a lot of the same subject matter that was being addressed by these photographers in the 1930s. Im like, my brain is reeling. When i see Dorothea Lange pictures up next to one of mine, im thinking this is a high honor. I am thrilled to be here. This picture, i have known this since i picked up a camera, and so that my images should be in the same context as iconic pictures like this, its pretty great. Wow. Look at this. Look at this. Reporter his Legacy Living on here at the library of congress the memory of what i preserved on that piece of paper will advance into the future. Reporter has added meaning because, as balog has been documenting the fragility of life on our planet, the 71yearold is also struggling with his own. I was diagnosed in midsummer of 2019 with the cancer of the blood, multiple myeloma. It certainly made me feel much more mortal and vulnerable than i ever did before. Im getting too old for this [ bleep ]. Reporter its made climbing walls of ice more of a struggle. I found myself panting way more than i should have. Reporter but it also motivates him to keep going while both he and the ice are still here. He hopes his photos are his testament, a record of our past and present and a message for the future. I want to be able to say to those people of the distant future, look, not everybody in this time in, you know, 2024, was terribly conscious or cared about Climate Change, but i want to be able to say that this mind, these eyes and this heart was paying attention. Money makes the world go round the sound of money, money, money thats joel grey and Liza Minnelli in the classic film version of the musical cabaret. Mo rocca reports the shows back on broadway. Its message still resonating more than half a century on. Reporter in 1966, when the musical cabaret first appeared on broadway, audiences were dazzled and disconcerted, but the shows depiction of life in early 1930s berlin. Reporter joel grey played the emcee of the kit kat club. He would reprise the role in the oscarwinning 1972 film version. Welcoming patrons to leave your troubles outside. Reporter an invitation laced with menace, since waiting in the wings is the horror of the nazi third reich. The cabaret is a place of hope. I think its why all these really extraordinary beings descend on it. I know that hope is dashed and broken, destroyed. Reporter is cabaret a warning . For me, it is. It shows the hope, the joy, the aspiration, and shows how progress can be taken from you, and we can regress. Reporter in the brandnew production, renamed cabaret at the kit kat club, opening this weekend on broadway, gayle rankin plays funny flighty livefortoday singer sally bowles. Life is a reporter immortalized cabaret reporter Liza Minnelli in the movie. Come to the cabaret i started thinking about liza the other night. Stop it i was, like, i honor you, i honor you, i honor you. I have to go on stage now. Reporter and the serpentine Eddie Redmayne seduces the crowd as the emcee. Every night beneath where you are standing i emerge from down here and that iconic drum roll, i stand in the bottom waiting to be rocketed up to the stage, and feels like going to the guillotine, and then just as it starts to rise, something euphoric happens. Reporter both rankin and redmayne have been to the cabaret before. She in a supporting role in the 2014 revival starring alan cumming, redmayne an oscar and tony winner in the 2021 london staging of this new production. But his connection goes back even farther. You had a longterm relationship with this show. How old were you . About 14 or 15 years old. I was at school and i was cast a as the emcee. I neverlissed to cabaret. That was my introduction to it. Something in that experience struck me. I dont come from a very theatrical family. My parents were beautifully supportive, but from an early age, oh, this is what i want to do. My parents, like, okay, but we hear all the statistics about actors out of work and this. And ill never forget, after they came to see my School Production of cabaret, they were like, go for it. Reporter you may have noticed the three of us are surrounded on all sides by seats. You feel different. Shake us up and take us to a different world. Sort of let us forget where we are and who we are. Reporter in a radical reimagining of the August Wilson theater, designer a tom scott ripped out the old stage and added seating to create a nightclub in the round. This is wild. This correspondent can attest, its a very big deal. This can only happen if you are witnessing other audience members going through the same thing as you, same feelings that you are. The more we do that, the better. Reporter we were there when the cast saw the reconfigured theater for the first time. I can literally touch people. This is fantastic. We can come in, say hi. We can talk, walk amongst everyone. Reporter even getting to your seat in this production is an experience. This is what we are calling a vault bar. Reporter rather than enter through the theaters front doors, denizens of this kit kat club walk in through the side for a show before the show. You get taken into those cavernous bars and you pass performers, musicians, with the idea being that once you enter the theater, the space were in now, the theater proper, you have genuinely left all your troubles outside. You are in weimer, germany. They are lulling you into a feeling that makes you understand just how evil the evil is. Reporter lulling, boom. Yeah. Reporter wow. Twotime tony winner Bebe Neuwirth plays fraulein schneider, the gentile owner of a boarding who falls in love with a jewish man. Reporter and then faces a terrible decision. There is darkness and there is light in everything, and in this show there is light and there is horror as well. Reporter why does cabaret keep coming back . The first answer is the music. Because its just glorious. Reporter that glorious score by john kander and fred ebb. Its also sadly timeless because it is also a story about encroaching evil and what do we do in the face of it. Do we recognize it . Do we acknowledge it . Do we fight it . Eve reporter even in the happiest moments its there. You can feel it just beyond the theaters doors. Just outside, there are r rumblings. Reporter the musical cabaret turns 58 this year. Reporter original emcee joel grey recently visited the theater to celebrate his 92nd birthday and confer his blessing on Eddie Redmayne, gayle rankin, and the rest of the company. They hope to welcome many more patrons to their club. Oh, my gosh, wait until my mom and dad come over. They are so excited. My dad saying, i spoke to, you know, i hate the fact that you are over in new york and i could be there every night. He said that. We are here to serve you in sometimes jonah wrestles with falling asleep. So he takes zzzquil. The worlds 1 sleep aid brand. And wakes up feeling like himself.

To maytag workers in West Virginia who fought back after lsing their jobs, and won. He won emmy awards for both those stories. Two of eight in all. In a note he sent upon his retirement, jim wrote, i have had more fun than i ever thought a job could offer. Not bad for a greek kid who couldnt speak a word of english when he started school. Not bad at all, jim. His wife, maureen, died in 2021. Jim will be remembered by his son evan, his two beloved grandchildren, as well as all who knew him. Jim houtrides was 88. For months now our cbs news Investigative Unit has been exploring the dark, dangerous side of Online Dating. The results of their exhaustive inquiry will air all this week starting now. Heres correspondent jim axlerod. She had all these buckets full in her life. My mom did. But there was this one bucket that was missing, and that was a male relationship. Reporter three years after kelly gowes father died from cancer, her mother, 57yearold laura kowal, a retired hospital executive, decided she was ready to start dating again. My mom was actually very specific about wanting to do Online Dating. It allowed her the opportunity to are more control of what she was looking for in somebody. It felt safer. Reporter after going online, laura found what she thought was true love on match. Com. She fell hard for a man named frank, a selfdescribed swedish businessman, his profile included this stolen photo. October 4th, 2018, she meets frank. Mmhmm. Reporter over email. Smart, shrewd, savvy woman, 12 days later telling someone she never met, you have my heart forever. Really my mom felt the emotions of feeling loved and having companionship just through email. I know there is a lot of people out there saying, how could that happen . Reporter thats right. This lonely hearted retiree who sought safety as she started dating fell for a man she never met face to face, which is why in the summer of 2021, kelly was relieved lauras online romance seems to have run its course. I am calling in regards to your mother, laura kowal. Reporter until she received an alarming call from a federal agent. Who may have been involved in a fraud scam as a victim. I called my mom and i immediately knew there was something legitimate to this. Reporter what are you thinking . I knew it had to do with frank. Reporter kelly rushed to her moms home in galena, illinois. Calling the police when she found the house empty just laying on the couch when i got here. Reporter except for her moms dog, effie, who never left her side. She started looking for clues, sifting through bank records, and discovering her mom had wired frank about 1. 5 million. Just about everything she had. I think as i went through and started uncovering this, i just became really sick at just the depths of all of it. Reporter and the last year, 2023, our best estimate is losses in the range of 1. 3 billion related to romance scams alone. And that represents an increase from about 500 million in 2019. Reporter he runs the Consumer Protection branch at the department of justice, which investigates online romance scams. Its been a rapid rate of increase, but we believe that its also substantially underaccounting the problem. Reporter undercounted people are rapt in shame and embarrassment, so they may not actually go to Law Enforcement and report it . Thats right. They may be embarrassed that they have been victimized in this way. They may be afraid to tell their friends or family. They come from all walks of life. Its all ages. Reporter all education levels . Yes. Doctors and lawyers to ditch diggers. Reporter even thretired u. S postal inspector natalie reda saw this many times, it never failed to stun her how the heart overruled the head. When you are signing up, there are banners and warning signs that say, dont ever send money to somebody you dont know. Ron wants your money. Dont send it. The person pretending to be ron is a scammer. People run through stop sign . Yeah. Reporter as laura drew closer to frank, her family grew suspicious, and for good reason. As federal agents would eventually discover, franks photos were of an unsuspecting chilean doctor and his emails would be traced not to sweden, but here to ghana. You need to be very good in building the trust. Reporter we spoke to a former scammer kwo called himself emmanuel. You need to establish trust and you need to exploit their hope. That is it. So when we are able to do that, then we start extracting money from them. Reporter ghana and nearby nigeria are home to thousands of scammers operating with impunity. They are called yahoo boys by religious leaders who seem to condone their crimes. Many yahoo boys, yahoo girls, yahoo man, yahoo woman, are going to make heaven. Reporter emmanuel described sophisticated teams with specialists who could impersonate accents and har nis technology to mask their location. How hard was it for you to set up a fake profile on the sites like match. Com . Its easy. Reporter in a 2019 lawsuit, the federal trade Commission Alleged that as many as 25 to 30 of match. Com members who register each day were using match. Com to perpetrate scams. 25 to 30 . Match group told us in a statement, we believe the ftc allegations have no merit. Mr. Kim, how are you . How are you . Reporter good, jim axlerod from cbs news. After six months of asking match. Coms Parent Company to discuss this, we finally approached bernard kim, the ceo of match group, the largest Online Dating companywhich operates apps including hinge, ok cupid and tinder. We have been talking to scammers and they say they are having absolutely no problem setting up fake profiles. We are working really hard every single day to make sure people are authentic. Reporter i was talking to the head of match. Com, the man who runs it, and he said to me, making sure people dont get scammed, thats our top priority. I think maybe he is not aware of what is really going on on match. Com. Maybe he thinks he has that security on match. Com burke we are around it. Reporter its easy to get around it . So easy to go around it. Reporter match group says it spends 125 million annually on trust and safety. Prosecutors pursue cases against the scammers when they can find them. In laura kowals case, they traced some of the money she sent to scammers to three people in chicago who have been charged with wire fraud. Including this woman, an American Military veteran and pstal worker, jennifer gosha. I thought we were in a relationship and i thought we were going to build together and have a life together. And it turned out that wasnt the case. Reporter she pleaded not guilty and said she is not a criminal, but a victim who was coerced into helping lawyers scammers, saying the nigerian coconspirator she was dating used her to help launder money scammed from others. Do you ever think to yourself, i played a part in someones life being ruined . I have thought that many, many times. And i didnt play a part in it knowingly. Reporter if convicted, she could face up to 30 years in prison. She claims she didnt make a single penny from any alleged scam. I am not someone who decides at 52 years old, after all i accomplished in my life, now i am going to become a criminal mastermind. Reporter kelly spent weeks reading hundreds of emails between her mother and frank as she untangled their relationship, and just like jennifer goshas claims about the man she was dating, frank had started teaching laura how to help him move money. Its a harrowing new twist to online romance scams. Laura kowal was now an accomplice,k becoming what Law Enforcement calls a money mule. They go and they open Bank Accounts at financial institutions. Most of the time the wire transfers into the Bank Accounts are the proceeds from other romance victims. Reporter james barnacle, the head. Financial Crimes Division of the fbi, says this is nextlevel victim exploitation. They are committing a crime at that point. So they have opened a bank account illegally under false pretenses. Thats bank fraud. Reporter laura went so far as to set up fake dating profiles that ensnared more victims. There were some emails she said im not comfortable doing this, saying she is uneasy about this. It just really saddens me it got to that point that ultimately she was participating in illegal behaviors. I love you, you honey. Reporter with her mom still missing, kelly found one more clue. A haunting note. Kelly, you have kept me going this long. I love you. You are right in your adjustment of me. I have been living a double life this past year. It has left me broke and broken. Yes, it involves frank. I tried to stop this many times, but i knew i would end up dead. Reporter two days after she disappeared, laura was found dead in the mississippi river, almost 250 miles from her home. Kelly has spent the last three years desperately trying to find out just what happened to her mother. Retracing the last hours of lauras life from illinois to iowa to missouri. My heart is just extremely heavy that she died this way and this is where she was found. Reporter lauras death was ruled a drowning, not a suicide. Kelly thinks about her moms last note and believes she was killed. She drives the miles between her moms home and where laura was found hoping to solve the mystery. I never thought that this could happen to her, but im sitting here today as proof that this could happen to anybody. Reporter the criminals who did this to your mom, were sitting here because of them. I have so much anger towards them. Because i look at my life now and my mom is missing out on all of that. They took so much away from me. They took everything away from her. My family will never get that time back. The love between mother and child knows no bounds, and if you need proof, here is our steve hartman. Reporter a lot of kids in america want to run a Lemonade Stand, but not many feel like they have to. 7yearold Emouree Johnson started her business a few weeks ago after a terrible nightmare morning. I woke up with the worst news of my life. Reporter emourees mother, karli, died unexpectedly at the age of 29. She was a single mom and emourees everything. Go see mommy. Reporter she couldnt understand first time she went to the cemetery with her grandmother jennifer j everyone else got giant granite headstones, but her mom just this tiny metal one. Did that bother you . Yeah. Reporter why . Because it felt like she was being left out. Reporter her grandma tried to explain how they couldnt afford a headstone right now. She had tears in her eyes. Reporter she did the only thing she could think of to raise money . Yes. A Lemonade Stand. Reporter a Lemonade Stand. To pay for her mothers headstone. At first she didnt make mention of her cause. Thank you. Reporter word got out. Before long, emouree says it seemed like everyone in scottsboro, alabama, was thirsty for lemonade. The price was a dollar, but she says people liked it so much, they often paid more. Thank you. The most that we got from one cup of lemonade was 300 bucks. Reporter for lemonade . Yeah, for one cup. Reporter whoa so far, emourees Lemonade Stand has raised more than 15,000, which will all go into savings because a Monument Company is now donating the headstone. But more importantly, emouree has taken that lemon life handed her and squeezed out hope. Her comment was when all these people came, she couldnt believe so many cared for her and loved her mommy. Reporter they always say it takes a village to raise a child, but sometimes it also takes a village to mourn a mom. Folks around here take that role seriously. Offering emouree comfort by the cupful, and all the love she can drink. Thank you. Youre welcome. Salonpas lidocaine flex.

All these years later, at age 88, she is neither lost track of where she came from nor where she is going. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down reporter mary poppins was Julie Andrewss first film. The second, the sound of music the hills are alive with the sound of music reporter if she had never made another movie, she might still be one of hollywoods most endearing and beloved stars. Blue satin sashes reporter and generation after generation, would still be singing along. That melt into spring these are a few of my favorite things reporter though that was just the beginning of a career literally in its eighth decade, its very good place to start. Because now Julie Andrews is a writer of childrens books with coauthor and daughter emma walter hamilton. Their latest is a story of the theater from the perspective of a duck. Mr. And mrs. Puddleduck were expecting their first clutch of eggs. Reporter waiting in the wings your latest book is a true story . Yes. Some years ago here at bay street theater in sag harbor we happened to notice that a pair of ducks were nesting in a planter in our courtyard out front. Soon an altogether different sound filled the air. A pleasant melodious one coming from inside the building. Ducks in the book, theatrical ducks, very much so. One of them is. Mr. Puddleduck in our version of the story sneaks into the theater. Reporter waiting in the wings is at the 35th book by this prolific partnership. A collaboration that has given Julie Andrews a new voice. 30 years ago, a surgical procedure went horribly wrong, destroyed her famous soprano and took her identity. One day i was benoeng my fate and missing very much the fact that i couldnt sing because the surgery went awry and took away my ability do what i loved to do, and so i was bemoaning my fate to emma. S she said, mom, just found another way of sharing your voice. And i tell you, it hit me so hard what she said, and i have never really bemoaned it since. Reporter sounding a lot like a younger Julie Andrews when the lord closes a door, somebody opens a window. Reporter and there are some other intriguing parallels. Both maria and mary poppins must win over skeptical children. They are all about fun, but not all about fun. They are sly teachers. They are optimists. Yes, they are. Reporter but they recognize that children have real problems. You are absolutely right. And i think we talk we dont talk down to kids. We try to bring them up so that you dont conned send in any way. Reporter she loved books since she was a child. Though born in 1935, her childhood memories include air raid silence and running for cover during the blitz, the german bombing of london during world war ii. Her parents had already split up. It was her stepfather who discovered her voice. A 9yearold soprano with an astonishing fouroctave range. And little julie became part of her parents musical act on the vaudeville circuit. Before long she was supporting the family. You were paying the mortgage . Yes, i was, eventually. Reporter as a teenager . Yes. Reporter the family mortgage . We needed cash dreadfully. Eventually, when i was about 15, i went out on my own all around england, around and around and around. Reporter with the responsibility that your family needed a roof over their head . Yes. Reporter you had a job to do it . I was part of the family trying to do it. But eventually it was just me because my stepfather was an alcoholic, sadly. Reporter all that work, and all that training, very serious training, you werent reaching for the stars . No. In fact, doubting that i ever would. I mean, i was doing it because it helped and i to. In my teens, i would think, what is all this for . Where is it going to lead . Suddenly, the world broke open. Reporter at 19, she was cast as the lead in a broadway show. A tenyear veteran of the stage and a trained vocalist, but she was not quite ready. I didnt have acting lessons or anything like that. I picked it up and learned. People are very kind. You know, they dont hurt puppies, actually, if you know what im saying. And i was a puppy, and i didnt know what the heck i was doing. But i learned. And i was grateful for all of the teaching that i got. Reporter still, a newcomer at 20, she created the role of eliza doolittle, opposite veteran rex harrison in lerner and lowes 1956 smash hit my fair lady. The following year she starred in a cbs production of rodgers and Hammersteins Cinderella on television. 100 million americans saw Julie Andrews for the first time.

Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, Chim Chim Cheree reporter it was an Academy Awardwinning performance. Julie andrews reporter in her very first motion picture. Its lovely. I know you americans are famously, your hospitality, this is really ridiculous. Reporter she still radiates grace and gratitude, but in the very british tradition of getting on with things. I just feel most of my life i have been so very, very fortunate to have the identity of a singing voice, to have the opportunities to learn about how to be on stage or film or whatever. Reporter you were very fortunate and you were also very unfortunate in some ways. Growing up in the war with alcoholic parents and being put to work at very young age and being robbed of a childhood. Feeling needed and vital and valuable, too, yeah. Her mantra has always been, are we lucky or what . I think whether or not its true, it is the thing that got you through. Perhaps i had a wicked child reporter when maria in the sound of music has fallen in love and he is in love and its she sings the song that includes the line so somewhere in my youth reporter in my youth and childhood. I must have done something good reporter i must have done something good. Somebody must have, because i got so damn fortunate. Are we lucky . Or what . Yeah.

By the end of seder i am willing to die for the since of all mankind. There are unpleasant starters at a seder. Seders have a plate, a seder plate, to remind you of the food you could be eating but arent. Lettuce for a salad thats not there, a bone to represent the meat you would kill for, parsley, a dip in saltwater which represents the tears of your ancestors who thousands of years ago also said when can we eat . And there is bread. Well, there is an oppression cracker, matza, because halfway through the seder someone hides it. No food. An egg to remind you of the circle of life. Some families use an elton john song. Because we cant eat, we eat wine on empty stomachs, which means your uncle will be bringing up politics. What are we doing while not eating . Tell the story. Passover is celebrated by jewss and madonna. It has resonance beyond the religion. It represents Different Things for different people a different times. Faith for liberation or anyone who is hungry anywhere. Whether you are jewish or not, happy passover. All who are hungry, come and eat. Eventually.
