we've had... spell trouble for allergy sufferers. plants... especially trees... are releasing a lot of pollen. some people are allergic to the tree pollen's we're seeing right now... but other people may not experience symptoms... until grass pollen appears. the allergist we spoke with today says... it's all about which pollens your body identifies as harmful... and in turn... tries to kill. "well we can't really kill a pollen, it is not an organism, but the result is a very unproductive, in a way harmful, to us, immune response against a neutral agent." allergists say... you can avoid symptoms by taking drugs like claritin...zyrtec... and allegra. but if your symptoms prevent you from breathing... you should see a doctor. ### don't forget to brush your teeth before bed. that's something most of us heard growing up. key tips to keep your child's teeth healthy. here's a kolo 8 sports break... steven lerud has signed

he's at the spring training right now with a shot at making the roster... he was with the nationals last season, and the phillies before that... lerud has only played in

chronic diseases among american kids. but-- ?how can parents teeth healthy? how in tonight's medical nat pop isn't always a pleasant if you're a kid. and while regular check-ups are vital, proper daily care is just as important. oral health experts at the university of alabama say parents should create a foundation for their kids.. and it starts with a balanced diet. cut back on sugary drinks. consuming too many beverages with added sugar can lead to tooth decay -- and high-calorie

to one or two times a day. more balanced meals. kids should have three square meals that include fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins and dairy. make sweets a treat. parents should limit their children to one or two desserts or candies. parents should also brush their kids' teeth -- or until they're old enough to brush on their own -- for two minutes, twice a day. experts say focus on where the teeth and gums meet. and don't forget to floss! for today's health minute, i'm mary moloney. every year-- about 1- point-7 million people in america suffer from a brain injury. a local program is helping to speed-up recovery. the brain recovery assistance institute of nevada holds weekly programs to help rehabilitate those with substantial brain injuries. bruno--- from the reno bighorns hopped in a class today-- to spread the awareness. from physical therapy... to the diet... to building confidence... the program is aimed to make the brain--- understand what it can do, instead of what it cannot do. as part of brain injury awareness month... the program hopes to clear up any misconceptions. it's such a misunderstood injury. a concussion is a brain

it's just a concussion' no. it can't be ignored. tomorrow night... the reno bighorns will sponsor 'brain' to help the game starts at 7 o'clock. ### josh little is here now, sports. it was senior night for the wolf pack women... who took on a familiar face plus...an historic day out at peccole park announcer:

announcer: you wouldn't let money just blow out of your house. so when your ac or heater is on, make sure the doors, windows, and fireplace flue are shut tight. if you're headed out, turn down the ac, or lower the heat, by 10 degrees. and always keep your water heater set at 120. a little bit of common sense goes a long way.

riana everidge had a game-high 20 points and 7 rebounds.. teige zeller had a big night... a double-double, 17 points and 13 rebounds... this game went into overtime... but the broncos were too much... shay shaw again... she had 14 points and a game-high 15 rebounds.. boise win 64-61 the wolf pack men are in boise tonight for their game tomorrow.... the pack lost to the broncos here in reno back in january boise's been pretty good the last two weeks, with three wins in four games... that including one of their most impressive wins of the season so far... on the road at san diego state... the broncos are loaded, with four players averaging in double- figures... musselman: "they can really veteran problems, because at the four spot he can shoot; pick-and- pop. drmic is a concern because he can shoot it. he's kind of an under-rated dribble drive guy. mikey thompson

guard. and then they come off the bench with guys like chandler hutchinson, who plays with great energy and enthusiasm and gets loose balls and runs the floor. and then obviously james webb is a guy who will be first or second team all-league, so they've got a lot of weapons." it's a battle for thii place... tipoff tomorrow night at 6pm... boise is an eight point favorite at the sports books. to the nba... warriors taking on the hawks without stephen curry... held out with a sore ankle.. it went to overtime... for good!... klay thompson...a game- high 26... warriors win it in overtime 109-105 it's an historic day for the wolf pack... the 500th win in peccole park history... taking on santa clara in the home opener... zach williams got the start.... a pretty good one too... two earned runs in seven innings... he also had six strikeouts... the pack was down 2-0 at one point...

the transfer from ucla... that's his first home run as a member of the pack... nevada closes the game by scoring 14 unanswered runs... they win big 14-2 yankees closer aroldis chapman has been suspended 30 games by major league baseball... it's for violating the domestic violence policy... it stems from an incident with his girlfriend back in october... chapman is a four-time all-star... the nightcap comes from the ice... sam reinhart with the great pass to cal o'relly for the goal... take another look... he does a spin move, and passes it with his back

teammate... a great assist!.... but buffalo falls in overtime. thanks, josh.
