he's not sure if all the riders were able to wear their live preservers or not. >> remember, they were tourists. they were from somewhere else, but branson is a town where in some ways there are no strangers. we saw that over the last two days from local residents who tried to save the dut both passengers to families who came here in mourning, the mayor of branson may have said it best in the hours after the accident. we're a very resilient community. we bounce back. we take care of each other whether we know you or whether we don't know you. pat cox has owned this marina for almost po years. >> i thought, we've got to go down there. giev tot see my rosy. >> there's an outpouring of victims like mckay to locals. some tried to prevent the

tragy freing worst. he called his manager roger carpenter with ordered to evacuate the marina. >> so when you heard there were duck boats still on the water, what did you think? >> at that time i got a call from mitch our general manager. he said, hey, i just got a call. there's a duck boat capsized. get out there and help. he didn't even get the word out. i got out there and helped. >> how many were out there? >> three boats with ten guys, 12 boats. >> cellphone video captured the duck boats fighting the treacherous water. >> what did you expect? >> i expected people in lifejackets floating around and we were going to grab them out of the water as fast as we could. >> what did you see when you got out there? >> empty lifejackets and empty life rings. your heart just dropped. >> repr: cer did save two men who went out to rescue people only to become stranded

themselves. they also pick up the deceased. >> you had 24 saw and what happened. what's gone through your mind? >> it's a shame, a crying shame. >> there will be plenty of experts who study this, but i think an ounce of prevention on the front end would have prevented most of this from happening. >> we've heard that from a lot of people. pat cox has had the store at the marina for almost 30 years and he's never seen a tragedy like this on the lake. this isn't the only place where duck boats are a popular attraction. you can find them from seattle to boston. just how safe are they? we're going to take a closer look later. for now, we want to go back to anthony and new york. >> so many questions about those lifejackets, dana. and the gesture of leaving the flowers on the cars that you showed us is incredibly moving. >> what struck me the most is, again, they didn't know these people.

there were a few people out here who knew some of the victims, but these were total strangers. i talked with one woman. they're tourists here. they didn't know anything. they heard what happened. she said, we had to come here. it was just something we had to do, we were so moved. and they were talking with people they never knew that they'll stay in touch with because they feel bonded together having experienced it in some way. >> know where the lifejackets are and be ready to grab them at any moment. >> dana jacobson in branson, missouri. thank you so much, dana. another line of powerful storms is passing through the nation's midsection today as a blistering wave of high heat takes hold in the south. the same system that brought drenching downpours and strong winds to ohio and kentucky spawn at least one confirmed tornado in southern indiana friday. no serious injuries are reported. and rain is what's needed in washington state where a wildfire has now swallowed up

more than 70,000 acres 80 miles southeast of seattle. it's one of 15 lar fires burning in the pacific northwest. for more on what's in store for the nation's weather today, we turn to meteorologist ed curran of our chicago station wbbm-tv. good morning, ed. >> well, good morning. we'll start with the heat. there's a lot of it in the south central u.s. in fact, this is an excessive heat warning for this weekend. look at some of the temperatures we have out here. 109 for dallas, 98 in oklahoma city, 99 for houston. 106 in phoenix, 99 in albuquerque. now we have several areas where we could see severe weather. a slight area, slight risk of severe weather with damaging wind, large hail, and a tornado in the yellow regions here. and on the east coast not far from you here along the east coast, the chance of an isolated tornado associated with some

storms there. michelle? >> all right. meteorologist ed curran of our chicago station wbbm-tv. en byformerersonal lawyerpp unrc president's denial of payments to a former "playboy" mod. michael cohen taped a conversation with the president about a payment to a woman a few months before the 2016 election. the woman had claimed that she had an affair with mr. trump. errol barnett is traveling with the president in new jersey. errol, good morning. good morning. the white house itself has not responded to reports that the president's former personal attorney recorded private conversations and possibly has others with the commander in chi chief.

landing in new jersey for the weekend, president trump ignored shouted questions about the newly disclosed recording with his former lawyer michael cohen. their conversation centers around payments to this woman, former playboy model karen mcdougal, who claims to have had an affair with trump back in 2006. the recording was uncovered by investigators in april during raids on cohen's home and offices as part of a federal probe into his business dealings. that investigation is examining cohen's role in paying women to stay silent about mr. trump before the election. if payments were made to help get trump elected, they may violate federal campaign finance laws. the white house repeatedly de denies any knowledge of a pimt or any affair, but mr. trump's lawyer, rudy giuliani, told "the new york times" friday that the president did participate in the secretly recorded phone call about mcdougal.

months before the election, mcdougal says the publisher of the "national enquirer." purchased her story but never published it, commonly referred to as "catch and kill." earlier this year she shared her story with cnn. >> you're pretty convinced now this was an effort to do a favor for donald trump in the last few months of the presidential race. >> unfortunately, yes. >> reporter: the only comment from the white house so far comes from first lady melania trump's spokeswoman who said, mrs. trump remains focused on her role as a mother and as first lady of the united states. and rudy giuliani told "the new york times" that candidate trump was not aware of the payments to ms. mcdougal before the conversation and, therefore, he did nothing wrong. michael cohen's lawyer lanny

davis responded by saying when the recording is heard, it will not hurt mr. cohen. anthony. >> it's been a week of damage control for the white house. for some perspective on that and other issues we turn to amber phillips of the "washington post." she writes about politics for "the fix." amber, good morning. >> that's for the fbi to decide. i think it brings up two difficult and legal questions for the president. if he did anything problematic before the election to help trump win, did trump know about it. were there other conversations that were to be had. the second political problem for the president is what else did michael cohen had tape and what might he be sharing with the fbi. >> well, cohen has certainly been seen as the keeper of donald trump's secrets. he was called loyal to a fault.

what are you heariomin out of this in hat's the bigquestion. it certainly feels like cohen is putting out a lot of feelers that he's willing to koomt with the fbi over a man he's worked for for a better part of a decade. he's given ominous social media updates saying my priority is to my family and my country, not the president. >> almost speaking directly to him. >> exactly, yeah. >> amber, let's talk about the helsinki summit for a second and the backlash the president faced after his meeting with president vladimir putin. at the end of the week we get the announcement that president putin will be coming here. it's an interesting gesture in the midst of the backlash that he received. what do you make of that? >> it's interesting.he word "ba" this is a president who from a public relations perspective

bases his decisions based on how the public covers it. there was a backlash in a lot of conservative circles and here he is going against the grain saying, no, let's invite the president back. we saw it this week. his own intelligence chiefs didn't realize putin was being invited back and made it clear they thought it was a bad idea. >> will any of this stick though? this is a president many have called the true teflon don. will what has happened this week with all the criticism have a lasting impact on this president? >> i have seen perfect evidence he's still teflon don. we have a cbs poll showing 70% of republican voters like the way trump handled the helsinki summit. >> that's important to point out. among independents, it's a very different judgment in that same

poll. i want to ask what kind of damage do you think lingers with the intelligence community? would the president after what happened in helsinki? >> i think the president has demonstrated he doesn't have a lot of credibility within the intelligence community. there was the way things lined up. the hello sankey summit and big gathering in colorado days later. you had key members of trump's own cabinet basically saying, i didn't think it was a good idea for him to do this. dan coats, the spy chief said, if it were up to me, i wouldn't have met with trump for two hours. there's pushback from the community in ways we haven't seen before. >> a lot to amber phillips, thank you so much. >> thank you. the "houston chronicle" reports a manhunt is under way for a gunman who fatally shot a

cardiologist who once treated president george h.w. bush. it happened on the grounds of the texas medical center in houston. police believe the gunman was also on a bicycle. they ee trying to determine if the shooting of the doctor was random or targeted. mr. bush called him a fantastic cardiologist and a good man. a family has been reunited. immigration officials separated baby johan from his father five months ago at the texas border. an immigration judge ordered his return after the 15-month-old returned to court. johan's father was returned back to honduras after his fourth attempt at trying to enter illegally. disney reports they fired

james gunn. he made light of rape and pedophilia. the controversial statements were posted between 2008 and 2011. gunn offered an apology. no word on his replacement. and "usa today" reports some members of the baltimore orioles just cannot catch a break. shortly after losing to the troenltd blue jays in tenth inning last night, two of the players got stuck in an elevator. they were eventually rescued by members of the toronto fire service. >> thank you to the toronto fire service. that is the worst. that is the worst. all right. it's about 22 after the hour. now here's a look at the weather for your weekend.

they move with equal ease on water and land, but a duck boat was no match for a sudden and violent storm. still ahead, a look at the larger issue of safety aboard these amphibious vehicles. plus, the dark side of the drone. they're proving fun and useful in everyday life, but now there are growing concerns that drone technology poses a major threat to america's national security. that's ahead on "cbs this morning: saturday." this is customizable streaming tv for your family,

tell us more about what this research shows because it makes me relieved. my mother is a working mother and she's relieved too. a lot of working mothers are. >> the kids turn out just fine, but the headline in a certain way is what actually happens to the sons of working mothers because it turns out this has a transformative effect on their lives. not so much on their employment but their personal lives on who they choose as a partner and the time they spend in their own household with their own kids. >> they see and mirror what their mother does and they respect a mother who can be a mom at home, but they also respect what she does during day. >> they tend to conduct much more equitable home lives when they become adults.

>> the relationships are if their mother worked outside the home, they tend to too. >> this is tracking a generational challenge in which women have flooded into the workplace, and the matter of working outside the home is a matter of choice but also a necessity. when a mother leaves her children to work, she's providing for those children. she's taking care of them, just in a dirjts way than she would by staying at home. >> but, jodi, it's a guilt thing. you certainly feel judged and sometimes in a negative way. what did the study say about that? >> well, first of all, it offered some relief. what i would also say is that parent guilt is a real thing and so much of -- so much of gender progress is about equitably sharing both the joys and the burdens of life.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." we begin this half hour by following our top story this morning, the deadly duck boat accident that killed at least 17 people on a lake in branson, missouri. >> 29 passengers and two crew members were on board. president trump tweeted his condolences on friday, writing, my deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those involved, such a tragedy, such a great loss. let's go back to dana in

branson, missouri. good morning. >> good morning, anthony and michelle. while the president is offering condolences, missouri senator claire mccaskill says she's looking at legislative solutions to make these duck boats safer. >> reporter: the disaster in branson may be the deadliest duck boat accident in u.s. history, but it was not the first to raise safety concerns. critics point to the fact that driver is here, 10 to 12 feet from the end of the vehicle which creates blind spots when it's driving on the roads and then when it gets into the water, you sit low in the water and the canopy can make it hard to get out in a hurry. nearly 20 years ago the ntsb sounded the alarm after 13 people died when this world war ii era duck boat sank in just seven minutes in hot springs, arkansas. they urged changes to the canopy

because it can trap passengers in a sinking vehicle, a situation made potentially worse if they're wearing life vests. in 2010 when this duck boat was hit by a barge in philadelphia, investigators concluded the canopy likely factored into the deaths of two tourists. >> they're death traps that should be banned. >> the canopy is pulling you down while the life preserver is pulling you up into the top of the canopy and then somehow in dark murky waters where you don't know the difference between up and down, you have to navigate your way out of the side of the canopy. >> reporter: the ntsb is likely to take a close look at the role of the canopy played in the branson accident as well. >> i'm particularly interested in why the first vessel was able to get successfully to shore and why this one didn't. were there mechanical issues? was the weather different in

that particular part of the water, although they were following each other? >> reporter: mark row cenker is the former chairman of the national transportation safety board. he points out these are often nearly 80 year old vehicles yornlly built to ferry troops and supplies in world war ii, not to operate as tour bots. it's happened on the roads too. in 2015 this duck boat collided with a bus. five people died. but in washington friday, duck boat tours were virtually sold out. >> did it make you rethink this at all today? >> it did actually not rethink it but question it, but we weren't going to not do it. >> reporter: doretha carter learn of the deadly accident after her ride today. >> we probably would not have gone today, especially since there was casualties involved.

>> reporter: they currently have jurisdiction on land and water and the cities and states can have their own regulations, and those can vary widely. for "cbs this morning: saturday," kris van cleave, washingt washington. >> the duck boats here in branson, missouri, are not running. they're sitting on dry land. this is as the investigation continues. coming up in our next half hour, i'll speak with the mayor of branson about how this tragedy is affecting what is a very close-knit community. anthony and michelle? >> dana, thank you so much. technological advances have made drones widely available. now there are warnings of the technology being turned against us. details on why manwant me regulation for these flying eyes in the sky. but first here's look at the weather for your weekend.

yoo call it the pressure to prescribe. up next on our "morning rounds" medical news, dr. tara narula on the dangerous overuse of antibiotic drugs and why a new study suggests patients themselves may be partly to blame. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday." >> announcer: this portion sponsored by tums. fights heartburn fast. when heartburn hits... fight back fast with tums smoothies. it neutralizes stomach acid at the source. tum tum tum tum tums... smoothies... ...and introducing new tums sugar-free.

i'm trying to manage my a1c, then i learn type 2 diabetes puts me at greater risk for heart attack or stroke. can one medicine help treat both blood sugar and cardiovascular risk? i asked my doctor. she told me about non-insulin victoza®. victoza® is not only proven to lower a1c and blood sugar, but for people with type 2 diabetes treating their cardiovascular disease, victoza® is also approved to lower the risk of major cv events such as heart attack, stroke, or death. while not for weight loss, victoza® may help you lose some weight. (announcer) victoza® is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. stop taking victoza® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or swallowing. serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis.

so stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area. tell your doctor your medical history. gallbladder problems have happened in some people. tell your doctor right away if you get symptoms. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, indigestion, and constipation. side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. change the course of your treatment. ask your doctor about victoza®. here's a trip tip: when you search hotels on tripadvisor... enter your destination and the dates of your stay. tripadvisor searches over 200 booking sites... to find the best deal on the right hotel for you. tripadvisor. man: it takes a lot of work to run this business, but i really love it. i'm on the move all day long, and sometimes i don't eat the way i should. so i drink boost to get the nutrition i'm missing. boost high protein now has 33% more protein,

along with 26 essential vitamins and minerals. and it has a guaranteed great taste. man: boost gives me everything i need to be up for doing what i love. boost high protein. be up for it.

time now for "morning rounds," our look at the medical news of the week. first up, antibiotics can be highly effective when used to fight bacterial infections, but overprescribing and mis-prescribing the drugs has created a public health problem. >> this week the american medical association published research analyzing and comparing the ant buy otdic prescribing rates of various medical outlets. here to go over this study and more is cbs news medical contributor dr. tara narula. in comparing it, what do we find? >> we tend to think about

antibiotic prescription coming from emergency rooms and medical office offices. but there are retail clinics. urgent care clinics, we know there are 10,000 high-volume centers in the united states. this is where we're seeing lots of prescriptions being given out and when researchers looked at how many times they were given for inappropriate respiratory diagnoses, it was most often in urgent care centers. three times more in urgent medical care centers, two times in emergency medical rooms. >> do we know why? >> i think a lot of paem go to the emergency room with the expectation they may get a prescription. their primary care docker to is not there who they have a relationship with who can tell them, this is something you can hold off, efft that has been written about where we live in an environment of social

media. the last thing they want is to have something written against them. >> 30% of all antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary, so what sort of public health problems does that create? >> it can create a big one. we're talking 80 million prescriptions a year. people can have allergic reactions to antibiotics that they didn't know they had a reaction to. it can k oacteria me dea an lead treased medical costs, increased hospital stays or lengths of stay and decreased mortality. patients that are most vulnerable, those who need chemotherapy, burn and trauma patients may lose a vital tool of ant biotics if there's a resistance that develops and

it's that resis stabs we worry a lot about. >> the "washington post" wrote about this. they say the urgent care doctors and owners worry about what this yelp effect and if doctors when they see patients. you mentioned this earlier. >> right. i think what we need do is really set expectations and that's why stuff like this is important in terms of educating people that not every time you go do you need an antibiotic. there needs to be an open lined of communication and the doctor can figure out what else you can use. our next topic, the rising rate of heart attack during pregnancy. research published by the mayo clinic looked at u.s. hospital2. their analysis found that for women hospitalized during and soon after pregnancy, heart attacks occurred in roughly one out of every 12,000 cases with the rates actually increasing over that period. why are they going up? >> we're seeing more and more

women are having babies at anned a advanced age and that can increase the risk of heart attack. and the risk profiles over the last 10, 15 years, we're seeing more hypertension and overweight and diabetes. we have sensitive blood tests now that can pick up on heart attacks and we're telling more frequently. and there's more provider awareness. we're aware this can happen. we may be looking at it a little more. >> with certain factors, did it make some women more at risk? >> if you had pre-existing cardiovascular disease or risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, ma lig nancy, or cancers, it's really a state of increased risk for anyone. you have hormonal changes, hemodynamic changes in your cardiac output and blood volume, and it's a time when you're more prone to clotting.

we call it a stress test on the body. finally, could playing video games actually help kids lose weight? a study led by researchers at louisiana state university assigned 46 overweight children to a program of exer-gaming or to a control group. exer-gaming is the term for video games that demainland physical movements of the body. after 24 weeks they found the kids in the group had improved bmi scores and improved cardio health. the authors say exer-gaming combined with other activities could be seen as a viable way to lose weight. >> the own exercise my son gets when gaming is yelling. >> more and more we're understanding that bringing technology to people, whether it's with fitness trackers, telehealth, or gaming can be important ways to kind of improve fitness. >> always what goes in the mouth is the key to weight loss.

>> yes, yes. >> dr. tara narula, thank you so much. is there a danger looming above? up next, the disturbing warning from a top government official about the growing security threat posed by drone technology and the weapons they can carry. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday." your brain changes as you get older. but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

drone technology has come a long way over the last decade. the unmanned aircraft are now being used for everything from making movies to delivering medical supplies in remote areas. but the technology has a dark side. in the wrong hands, drones can be used to spy on us and have. they often threaten our very infrastructure and even t lian secretary kirstjen nielsen warn of the dangers, writing in part, without congressional action, the u.s. government will remain

unable to identify, track, and mitigate weaponized or dangerous drones in our skies. here to discuss these concerns is "wired magazine's" editor in chief nicholas thompson. good morning, nick. >> good morning, anthony. >> we're talking about commercial grade droebs. how big of a threat are they? >> they're a prts substantial threats. we've seen them used to drop grenades on soldiers. we've seen them being used by drug dealers and in the wrong hands, but they're amazing. we need them to come forward, but we need to make sure they don't blow us up. that's a hard job for government. >> in what ways are they using these? >> the drones have not been used to harm civilians yet, but hypothetically as it was done in iraq, you could attach grenades and drop them, drop chemical weapons, drop chemical weapons on a population.

in the worst case scenario you could fly a drone over a large group of people and release a toxin. that would be horrible. >> at the moment anybody could buy a drone. how does the government address this? >> the regulations need to be made very clear. there are regulations. you kblts fly a drone over 400 feet, there are elementaries on weight. there are a lot of things the government can't do. it can't jam a drone. it can't tap it and take it down because of wiretapping laws. they can't take it out of the sky because of regulations about shooting aircraft. it might fall on people. you need government to track the drones, monitor the drones, and take down the drones but do it in a way that doesn't destroy the industry. >> homeland security has asked for just that. is anyone in congress listening? >> congress is listening. the white house is paying attention. the problem is as with any new

technology, there's a real back and forth. you don't want to make the regulation taos severe. my personal favorite idea is to train eagles. they're doing that in france and italy. it's totally nuts and really bad for the talons. the best is radio frequency jamming. you'd be able to track the drones an regulate them so they're not allowed the fly within certain area and update the software. so when the super bowl happens, it's impossible to drive a drone near the stadium. >> how is law enforcement dealing with this, nick? >> law enforcement is perplexed. they want more tools. it oohs hard for a policeman describing a car to say, oh, wait, your drone is flying over 400 feet. >> that's one of the worst

things. with know how to jam them. we know how to fire nets and catch a drone within 100 feet of where the net goes. that doesn't knock the drone down on the crowd, but they're not allowed to use them. >> it's a problem. >> it's a solvable problem and the people new state government can solve it. >> i like that attituding nick. >> nick thompson, thanks. >> it looks like footage from a wildlife documentary. but the subject of this video is human. up next, the effort to assist the sole survivor of an unknown tribe who may have never had contact with the outside world. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday." belly fat: the chili pepper sweat-out. not cool. freezing away fat cells with coolsculpting? now that's cool! coolsculpting safely freezes and removes fat cells with little or no downtime.

there are a series of traps to send you back to jail because they make money off of you. >> it's interesting, the race. you are good friends with miles but there's also a lot of friction in your relationship. >> yeah. miles and colin grew up together. they have almost the same context. one happens to be whyte, one happens to be black. the changing surroundings means their context is changing and now they're in different kinds of danger because of how the outside world sees them, really nothing to do with anything they built themselves. that's a thing they have to reckon with in a changing society. >> what's amazing is if you put a foot wrong, you go back to jail. but when that stops, the person is off probation, it's still there. that's what being in oakland is like. >> yeah, yeah. yes. there are traps everywhere for a lot of different kinds of people, and, you know, one of the biggest traps in the film is poverty. this isn't just any 80th birthday.

welcome to "cbs this morning: saturday." i'm anthony mason along with michelle miller and dana jacobson. coming up this hour, the duck boat accident in branson, missouri, has devastated families and left the community in mourning. we'll speak with the mayor of branson about how her tight knit community zealing with the tragedy. later we'll take you to a church in philadelphia whose mission is not just spiritual. it's also sports. see how one pastor's athletic program has his flock producing results on and off the field. and he's a money on a

mission, to memo lawns in all 50 states. not to make a difference in the landscape but rather in the way we treat each other. his remarkable story is ahead. but first our top story. it will take the national transportation safety board a year to investigate the tragic duck boat accident that killed 17 people in branson, missouri. among the dead are nine members of one indiana family, four of them children. this morning four people remain hospitalized, two in critical condition. >> all 31 people who were onboard that amphibious tour boat during thursday's disaster have been accounted for. our "cbs this morning" co-anchor dana jacobson is in branson. good morning. >> good morning, michelle. it's usually a quiet morning here. the usual tourist stops no doubt will begin filling up soon, but this is a town trying to cope with tragedy. one remind e, the boats behind me pulled from the water. another, the local paper filled with stories about the victims.

heroic grandmothers. children too young to comprehend. they came from illinois and indiana, arkansas, and missouri. but here in branson, awe bull one was a stranger. 16 visitors to this community who it now mourns. >> it got really choppy and the waves swept over. the last thing i heard was my sister-in-law scream grab the baby. >> reporter: tia coleman is one of 14 people who survived thursday's accident. but she lost nine members of her family, including three of her children in the waters of table rock lake. she says no one on board was wearing lifejackets. >> i thought at some point he said grab the jackets now, but we were told to stay seated. >> reporter: when marina manager roger carpenter saw the duck boat capsize, he went out on the water to try to help. >> all we seen was empty lifejackets and empty life

rings, and i mean your heart just drops. >> reporter: about 300 people turned out friday night to pay tribute to the victims, almost all of whom came to branson as tourists. the only crew member lost in the accident was driver bob people here, we love the businesses and tourism, and we were very saddened to know that there was a loss here. >> and joining us now is branson's mayor, karen best. madam mayor, first our condolences to all in this community. you're from here. you've been here over 50 years or 50 year at this point. what have the last 36 hours been like for you? >> it's been a roller coaster. it's been a roller coaster of emotion. any time you hear there's a loss of life, it touches your community. you know, we're a community of resilience, an we are all about taking care of our citizens, but i think what makes us very

unique, is we're all about taking care of strangers too. it's what's made us who we are. we've been that way since, i think, the beginning of time, and when you come here, the experience that you get is that we love on you, no matter whether you're here as a citizen or you're here as someone that we've never met before. >> how are the citizens, though, coping? they may not have known all these people, but this is still a tragedy that's engulfed this community. >> our community is very heartbroken. if you look on social media, you see a very common thread. that is of heartbreak. we care very much about those that live around us, but we care about anyone who enters the city. >> i know that you knew the driver of the vehicle, bob. some people said he was the mayor in some ways of this town. what can you tell us about him? >> you know, when bob would walk into a room, he would light a room up. he lit the room up with his

smile. he lit the room up with his personality. he didn't even have to say anything. everyone was always drawn to bob. just a real pillar in the community, salt of the earth. he never met a stranger. he loved everyone. and he's going to be sorely missed in our community. >> i'm not certain if you've spoke within his family at all. how are they coping today? >> you know, it's tough. when you lose someone that is so near and dear to your heart, how do you make that a good thing. it's never easy. >> you were telling me before we started here, you were just out on the duck boats with your family. do you look at the duck boats differently now after what happened on thursday? >> you know, growing up, the duck boats have always been one of our favorite things to do. you know, as businesses, we take our employees there, and it was always so great. so, you know, after a tragedy like this, you start thinking of things different.

you know, after 9/11 when i flew, i would never get on plane and fly again the same way. i'm sure as people get on the boats, i'm sure their attitudes will change somewhat. i think people will be more safety-conscious when they get on. i know i will. >> do you think the boats still belong, though, here in branson, missouri? i know there are calls for some safety changes. >> i think it's really early in the investigation stage, and i'll be looking forward to what the ntsb and coast guard come up with. there may be some safety charges that need to be made. the senators were here yesterday. we were talking about what we could do to improve that. i think it's too early to make that decision, but i think as time goes on, i think that something that not just here but across america because these ar >> that's right. madam mayor, we appreciate the time. >> thank you. >> anthony and michelle, we sent it back to you now. >> as the mayor said, it's

heartbreaking. it's heartbreaking to watch tia coleman who lost three kids. i don't know how she can talk about it. >> i can't imagine either. i think about really the question of whether or not this singular boat or any boat its size in that weather could have prevented this from happening. we shall certainly see in the coming year. it's about seven after the hour. now here's a look at the weather for your weekend. it's produced nfl players and a heisman trophy candidate, but remarkably, those are not the achievements its organizers are pos pam a

about a dozen years ago a philadelphia church thought athletics could be a form of outreach to young people, but they had no idea how successionful their effort would be. cbs news special correspondent james brown paid them a visit, and he joins us now from our washington bureau. j.b., good morning. >> and good morning to you, michelle and anthony. the growth of this church has mirrored the sports program. they grew from 350 members in '94 to 15,000 today, and enon tabernacle baptist church offers programs in several sports often with multiple teams. i visited the church that's producing college and professional athletes while achieving its main goal of

saving souls through sports. >> reporter: it's a hot saturday morning in july, and these kids in northwest philadelphia are enjoying and working hard at the sports they love. >> in your name we pray. amen. >> amen. good job. let's get back to the game, fellows. >> reporter: they're part of what enon tabernacle baptist church calls its act lettic ministry. reverend alyn waller started enon's program in 2005 as his church was growing to its current size of 15,000 members. >> i recognize sports as a wonderful way to teach christianity and life through the medium of sports, and that's literally what our program is. and whether they go on to be great athletes is not the real issue. we want them to be great people, and that's what sports can do. >> reporter: but many have become great athletes, including three nfl players who attended

church at enon and many college athletes like heisman candidate universi university of georgia tailback d'andre swift who started playing at enon when he was just 7. how surprised are you about how successful it's been? >> i'm not surprised, but i am excited about how extensive it has become. >> reporter: the program grew so big that in 2012 enon bought this 34-acre campus, which included the former football field for temple university. the church spent millions to build from the ground up, transforming a dirt pit into a state of the eight-church fa sill with adjoininglaying fields. >> we probably touch about 1,00

kids. >> reporter: with eight football teams, four cheerleading squads, four baseball teams, track, basketball, soccering and martial arts to manage, the church took the rare step of hiring a full-time athletic director, greg burris, a former church deacon and retired business owner. >> i think what i'm most proud of here is just how we're able to open it up to not just our membership but to the community as well, giving kids an opportunity. >> reporter: enon sports camps are subsidized by the church and cost a fraction of other area programs. that's a big plus for parents like keisha bronson and monique yelder, whose children attend church and play sports aton. >> the program here is enriching from a spiritual perspective, which was important to me for my

sons to be around men who love the lord as well as loved football. >> i think one of the biggest things is it's skreenlt but all-inclusive. they're in a safe and appropriate space. >> reporter: camp participants do not have to be church members. but pastor waller says saving souls is still the focus at e n enon. >> you don't have to belong. you don't have to believe what we believe. but we have thngs that we expect you to do if you choose to play for our team. >> such as? >> well, very have mandatory bible study. we expect you to participate in those bible studies. we do have prayer. but you know this at the front end. it's not bait and switch. you don't have to join the church. this is what we do, and if you want to play with us, this is how we play. >> reporter: and the formula has worked. enon's teams have won numerous local and regional championships over the years with talented kids like collin washington, who grew up playing at enon and is

now a scholarship football player at temple university. >> we used to get joked on a little bit. >> how so. >> they used to call us the church boys when we were younger. we would end up winning, and they'd still call us that. >> what has this program taught you? >> taught me sportsmanship and how to treat people. the coaches didn't curse here. the coach cursed at other programs. >> and they were still able to get the best out of you without profanity? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: after playing all day many parents and kids went right across the street for saturday evening service for praise and worship. >> if i do this, what is it going to do to my neighbor. if i do this, what is it going do to the world. >> reporter: at clear that the church's mission is bigger than sports.

enon gives away a total of $400,000 in college scholarships every year. >> every child that goes to pschool from this church every year, every semester gets about $250 from us to just help with some books or encourage them midway through the semester. we're committed athletics, we're committed to academics, and we're committed to raising and changing a generation. >> reporter: waller is a third generation preacher and he considers his work at enon as part of a rich prophetic legacy. >> the photo in your office, i can't help but they that you represent what dr. king, mar ting luther king jr., was hoping would happen in termsha next phase. >> that picture of me sitting on martin king's lap has been with me since the day it was taken.

he was preaching for my father. he inspires me. even with all that's going on, and i still believe. like him, i would like to fight to ensure that this country remains the great thing that it is. >> my producer and i were very impressed. he's a chaplain to law enforcement agencies locally and at the federal level. he's not just a visionary resting on his laurels. he finished a degree program to help with the next phase of growth and success not only in northwest philly but beyond. anthony and michelle? >> beyond? that begs the question. where else might we see these programs? >> any time we hear dr. waller talk, it's not "i." it's always "we."
