SO, YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING?
IT IS A BLESSING.
IT SAVES LIVES.
TAMMY: PARISH LEADERS SAY THEY
ALSO HOPE IT STOPS DEADLY
ACCIDENTS LIKE THE ONE THAT
KILLED
RYAN MARCHAND.
A CAR HIT THE 14-YEAR-OLD WHILE
HE WAS RIDING HIS SKATEBOARD
NEAR WEST METAIRIE AVENUE.
SKATERS FOR PUBLIC SKATEPARKS
TRACK SKATEBOARD ACCIDENTS.
THEY SAY IN 2015, 26
SKATEBORDERS DIED IN ACCIDENTS
ACROSS THE U.S.
THEY CLAIM NONE OF THEM HAPPENED
INSIDE OF A SKATE PARK.
>> THAT'S PRECISELY ONE OF THE
DANGERS THIS PREVENTS, IS TO
FIND A CONCENTRATED AREA WHERE
THESE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN AND
YOUNG BOYS AND GIRLS CAN DO THE
ACTIVITY THEY WANT TO DO IN A
VERY CONTROLLED, VERY SAFE
ENVIRONMENT.
TAMMY CONNER LEWIS WROTE A
: LETTER TO OFFICIALS ASKING FOR
A PARK 3 YEARS AGO.
>> I WAS RIDING TO MR. DOMINIC,
AND I SAID I WENT TO BATON ROUGE
TO GO TO A SKATE PARK, AND I
WAS, LIKE, WHY DON'T WE HAVE ONE
IN KILLER?
AND THREE YEARS LATER, THERE IS
ONE HERE.
TAMMY: KENNER'S MAYOR SEES THESE
FANCY MOVES
AS A CHANCE TO INCREASE CITY
REVENUE.
>> IF WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO
EXPAND IT, WE WOULD LOOK AT, IS
THIS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN
ATTRACT PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE
AREA?
THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
TAMMY: LEADERS TELL US, THIS IS
JUST PHASE ONE OF THE PARK.
THEY ARE HOPING TO GET MORE
MONEY TO START ON PHASE TWO AND
POSSIBLY PHASE THREE.
WE CAN TELL YOU PHASE TWO WILL
HELP THEM EXTEND THE SKATE PARK
TO MAKE IT EVEN BIGGER.

SULA: THE NEW ORLEANS
FIREFIGHTERS UNION IS PLANNING
TO STAGE A RALLY TOMORROW
AGAINST THE DEPARTMENT'S TOP
MAN, SUPERINTENDENT TIM
MCCONNELL.
THIS STEMS FROM THE FIREFIGHTERS
INVOVLEMENT IN THE REMOVAL OF A
CONFEDERATE ERA MONUMENT EARLIER
THIS WEEK.
THE UNION HAS CALLED FOR A STOP
TO THIS AS THE CITY MOVES
FORWARD WITH REMOVING THREE MORE
CONFEDERATE ERA MONUMENTS.
HERE IS A PORTION OF A STATEMENT
RELEASED BY THE UNION IT SAYS IN
-- THIS STRONGLY WORDED MEMO WAS
RELEASED.
HERE'S A PORTION OF THESE
STATEMENT RELEASED BY THE UNION.
IT SAYS IN PART "FIREFIGHTERS
SAY THEY ARE PICKETING TOMORROW
AS A A RESULT OF THEIR
FRUSTRATION WITH THE CONTINUED
POOR DECISIONS OF SUPERINTENDENT
MCCONNELL.
HIS DECISION TO PLACE
FIREFIGHTERS IN THE MIDDLE OF
SUCH A DIVISIVE ISSUE DESPITE OF
THE EXISTENCE OF KNOWN POTENTIAL
THREATS HAS EXPOSED OUR MEMBERS
TO UNNECESSARY RISKS.
TO THIS END, THEY WILL MAKE AN
ANNOUNCEMENT TOMORROW ABOUT THE
NOFD LEADERSHIP."
SCOTT: TO BATON ROUGE, WHERE A
HOUSE BILL WOULD REQUIRE
OFFICERS TO UNDERGO EVEN MORE
TRAINING.
UNDER HOUSE BILL 277 OFFICERS
LEFT COMPLETE 400 HOURS OF BASIC
TRAINING AND 20 HOURS OF IN
SERVICE TRAINING TO KEEP THEIR
LAW ENFORCEMENT CERTIFICATION.
THE COUNCIL ON PEACE OFFICER
STANDARDS AND TRAINING WOULD
ALSO HAVE TO DEVELOP A PROGR
TRAINING POLICE ON
DE-ESCALATION, BIASED AND CRISIS
, INTERVENTION.
NEXT WEEK AN OPIOID PREVENTION
BILL WILL BE UP FOR DEBATE AT
THE STATE CAPITOL.
THE MEASURE UNANIMOUSLY CLEARED
THE STATE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES HEALTH AND
WELFARE COMMITTEE THURSDAY.
REP. HELENA MORENO'S BILL WOULD
ALLOW PHYSICIANS TO PRESCRIBE
ONLY 7 DAYS WORTH OF OPIOID
PAINKILLERS.
THE ST. TAMMANY PARISH CORONER
DOESN'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD
IDEA, SAYING, "IT ISA CONCERN
TO ME WHEN THE LEGISLATURE
BEGINS TO DICTATE HOW MEDICINE
SHOULD BE PRACTICED.
I THINK THIS IS BEST
ACCOMPLISHED BY THE JUDGMENT OF
EXPERIENCED PHYSICIANS.
THE 7-DAY LIMIT ON MEDICATIONS
IS ARBITRARY AND MAY NOT BE
APPROPRIATE FOR SOMEONE WITH A
FRACTURE, A BURN, OR A KIDNEY
STONE."
TOMORROW IS NATIONAL DRUG TAKE
BACK DAY, AN INITIATIVE TO
SAFELY DISPOSE OF PRESCRIPTION
DRUGS THAT ARE EXPIRED UNUSED OR
UNWANTED.

MARGARET: WE HAVE A WHOLE LOT
GOING ON THIS WEEKEND.
SCOT THE ISLAND OF GRAND ISLE
IS UNDER A STATE OF EMERGENCY
A LEVEE PROTECTING IT WASHES
AWAY.
SULA: A HALF-MILE SECTION IN THE
LEVEE NEEDS EMERGENCY REPAIRS.
IT PROTECTS THE GULF OF MEXICO
SIDE OF THE ISLAND FROM STORM
SURGE DURING HURRICANES.
A POPULAR BEACH WHICH IS A
MONEY-MAKER FOR THE TOWN IS ALSO
ERODING.
LOCAL AND STATE LEADERS ARE
LOOKING FOR A MORE PERMANENT FIX
FOR THE LEVEE, WHICH THEY SAY
NEEDS REPAIRS EVERY 6 MONTHS.
THEY WANT FEDERAL FUNDING, BUT
BARRIER ONLY QUALIFIES FOR THAT
IF THE ISLAND IS HIT BY A
CATEGORY 3 HURRICANE
>> IS TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO
STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND CHANGE
THE LAWS.
WE ARE IN AN EMERGENCY.
WHAT I'M SEEING RIGHT HERE,
WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE NEXT TWO
DAYS, IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET
WORSE.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED RIGHT
FROM DAY ONE.
THE CORE LEFT THIS IN A MESS.
SULA: THE MAYOR SAYS HE WANTS
ROCKS PLACED IN THE GULF TO
REDUCE THE FORCE OF THE WAVES
POUNDING ON THE LEVEE.
SCOTT: NEW AT 10:00, CONGRESSMAN
CEDRIC RICHMOND IS SPEAKING OUT
ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE
ALTON STERLING SHOOTING.
STERLING WAS GUNNED DOWN B
POLICE OUTSIDE THE CONVENIENCE
STORE IN BATON ROUGE LAST
SUMMER.
IN A LETTER TO THE U.S. ATTORNEY
GENERAL JEFF SESSIONS RICHMOND
RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THE LACK
OF TRANSPARENCY IN THE CIVIL
RIGHTS INVESTIGATION INTO THE
CASE.
RICHMOND ISSUED A STATEMENT
SAYING IN PART "RUMORS ARE
CIRCULATING THAT LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT HAS BEEN INFORMED OF
A SPECIFIC TIMELINE FOR AN
ANNOUNCEMENT.
SCHOOLS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS
ARE EXPENDING FUNDS TO PREPARE
FOR A TUESDAY ANNOUNCEMENT.
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE'S
FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE
COMMUNITY HAS CREATED ANGST AND
NERVOUSNESS."
IT'S THE HEIGHT OF ALLERGY
SEASON AND YOU MAY NOT BE THE
ONLY ONE SUFFERING FROM POLLEN.
YOUR DOG MAY ALSO BE
-- SUL NO, DO YOU HAVE
ALLERGIES?
SCOTT: YES.
SULA: WELL, IT TURNS OUT YOUR
DOG MAY ALSO BE EXPERIENCING
DISCOMFORT.
I TALKED TO A LOCAL VET WHO HAS
SOME TIPS ON THE SYMPTOMS YO
SHOULD LOOK OUT FOR.
MY STORY IS ALL NEW TONIGHT AT
10:00.
PAINFUL TO SEE, THIS WAS ALLIE'S
PAW TWO YEARS AGO.
>> SHE WAS CHEWING HERSELF
BECAUSE SHE WAS ITCHING SO MUCH
-- ITCHING SO MUCH.
SULA: CHEWING, ITCHING, AND
SCRATCHING
>> SHE WAS CHEWING HER BACK PAW.
HER HAIR WAS GONE.
IT WAS PRETTY MUCH TO THE
MUSCLE.
SULA: DR. NED HENRY AT THE
CRESCENT CITY VETERINARY
HOSPITAL SEES DOGS LIKE ALLIE
QUITE OFTEN THIS TIME OF THE
YEAR.
60% OF HIS CASES ARE PET
ALLERGIE
>> THEY WALK THROUGH POLLEN SO
HE GETS UP BETWEEN THE PADS, AND
THEY ARE CHEWING THE BOTTOM OF
THEIR FEET. AT SULA: FEET, EARS,
AND GROIN ARE COMMONLY AFFECTED
AREAS IN DOGS, SO DR. HENRY SAYS
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION IF THEY
START SCRATCHING EXCESSIVELY.
HE SAYS PET ALLERGIES ARE MORE
PREVALENT IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA
BECAUSE OF THE LONG POLLEN
SEASON
>> WE HAVE MORE ALLERGIES, MORE
MOSQUITOES, MORE HEART WORMS,
MORE GENERAL PARASITES.
SULA TODAY, ALLIE IS DOING
WELL, HER PAW IS HEALED AND SHE
IS ON IMMUNO-THERAPY WHICH COS
ROUGHLY $100 EVERY TWO MONTHS OR
SO.
BUT ALLIE WAS A DIFFICULT CASE.
SOMETIMES AN ANTIHISTIMINE WILL
DO THE TRICK.
>> VERY OFTEN THEY RESPOND WELL
TO ANTIHISTAMINES IN SHAMPOOS.
SULA: WHICH IS WHY IT'S
IMPORTANT TO TAKE THEM TO THE
VET IF THE ITCHING IS GETS
-- GET SEVERE.
YOU NEVER KNOW IF THEY'RE
SUFFERING IN SILENCE.
