honoring our nation's heros this memorial day weekend. we salute the men and women who have sacrificed. >> protecting your cat. with the weather getting nicer why you may want to keep your windows closed. >> and good morning, everyone. welcome to fox 29 weekend. i'm bill anderson. it's a beautiful sunday, may 24 and we've got jennie joyce here with us. >> good morning. >> thanks for letting me stop in. i hope everybody is enjoying the long hall day weekend. >> it looks like there's some

great weather for dave to tell us about. >> i want to see how the weather is going to be for memorial day weekend. >> thanks for that. he's in media, and it looks like weather is continuing to warm up there. we're in transition for that nice, comfortable dry weather yesterday to the hot and humid weather. 68 to 78 and staying in the upper 70s, could touch 80 degrees. a little cooler up in the north and western suburbs but quickly warming up, a brief chill out there. things are all clear on ultimate doppler radar. we're staying dry today. the question here is the temperatures. we are getting warmer except there is one area that will be a little cooler this afternoon. once that sea breeze kicks in. 73 at noon, we're already warming than we were at yesterday and close to 80 pretty

much everywhere. trying to see one or two 80s in there, could see one in philadelphia, but mid to upper 70s in many of the suburbs. look at the coast there, the sea breeze comes in. it will warm up a little before then, by the afternoon, 5:00, 6:00, temperatures will be dropping. heat and humidity in the 7-day a bit later. >> getting you caught up in your headlines this morning. tensions flared overnight in cleveland, ohio where protesters hit the streets. angry after a judge acquitted a white police officer in the killing of an unarmed black man and black woman. >> and the couple was killed after a police chase that ended with officers firing into a car. >> joanne, here we go again. the protests are starting. >> reporter: here we go again. there has been angry but it's been mostly orderly protests. the verdict that cleared the

officer in the 2012 shooting death. it is a case that sparked a justice department investigation of the city's police department. more than a dozen protesters were arrested in cleveland after a judge read the verdict in the trial. brilo had been charged with two counts of voluntariman slaughter. he and other officers fired 137 shots at the couple's car. the car had backfired initially as it passed the police station leading the authorities to believe they had a gun. it was the final 15 fired into the windshield of the victim's car that led to his enindictment that ended yet with an akwat al. we get reaction. >> we regret and we acknowledge

that two people died. but at the end of the day, that tragedy was brought about by conscious decision making. >> i do not believe that kentucky and melissa ever used their car as a weapon. i do not believe they ever had a gun. it's outside of my brother's character to be a violent person. >> there's so many comments on social media. it's not okay. the judge made his ruling with constitutional laws in mind. 137 shots, if that's not excessive, force, i don't know what is. and finally, ungrateful that rioters can't even wait until after memorial day. this case led to a justice department determination that the cleveland police had a

history of using excessive force and violating civil rights. recent protests have erupted into violence. the demonstrations in cleveland have not so far. bill? >> thanks, joanne. and also new a fire investigation is under spsz way in north philadelphia. firefighters were called just after 3:00 this morning for a row home fire. a couple of people are out of a home this morning. fortunately no one was hurt. >> and police in camden county are hoping you can find a man they say robbed a bank. this is the man the police are looking for. he came into the pnc bank on the black horse pike around 11:00 saturday morning. he handed a note to a teller and got away with an unknown amount of cash. and a gas station attendant is under arrest after police say he sexually assaulted a

customer. delaware state police say this man was working at the shell station in christiana road in newark on saturday. the attendant got the key to open the door and sexually assaulted her. the holiday weekend always draws visitors to atlantic city. numbers just released by the division of gaming enforcement show profits of the resort's 8 casinos up morning 25% this year. they took up $81 million up from 64 million during the same time last year. four casinos closed in 2015 leaving the surviving properties in much better shape. that is great news. >> i'm bruce gordon. hey, want to take a quiz?

sure you do. see if you can tell me the name of the candidate chosen just this week to be the republican nominee for the city of philadelphia. is it a, eddy murray, b, madeline murray o'hare? let's see. i guess that leaves d, melissa murray bailey. a 36-year-old businesswoman and soon to be sacrificial lamb. the confusion is understandable in philadelphia, the republican party could be an actual party, in that it could fit in your living room. gop leaders for years have squabbled among themselves. they're outnumbered by democrats by 7-1 margin.

philadelphia like any state or country could benefit from a real two-party system. it's how issues and ideas get fully debated. but the local republican part is so bereft of leadership, there are plenty that feel philly is headed in the wrong direction. but if the republican party can't get its act together to produce a real alternative, they have no one to blame but themselves. it was kind of ironic to see her appear at the broad street ministry on the day of the primary. she hasn't got a prayer. only in philly. >> coming up, protecting your cat. we explain a syndrome you may not have known about that could be deadly to your pet.

plus, we're talking light bulbs. the best way to brighten your house without spending a whole lot of cash.

>> good morning. it's 8:11. welcome back to fox 29 weekend. take a look at your news now.

flooding turns deadly as a firefighter is killed attempting a highwater rescue. this happened in oklahoma as residents called to report flooded homes. so far officials have carried out nearly 50 rescues. oklahoma has experienced its wettest month in history. >> a man in missouri accused of killing a woman and her teenaged son in a shoot out with police. a woman escaped him home claiming she had been kept captive. the woman who had escaped were shot and killed in clinton, missouri. now james horn is dead as well. >> still around here i want to thank all the law enforcement for all the efforts they put into it. i thank them to the bottom of my heart. i'm glad it's over with. >> now, officials say horn was armed at the time of the

encounter, but no officers were injured. horn had a long criminal history of violence which included kidnapping and sexual battery. and we've got a warning for pet owners this morning. as you can see on the video, we're talking about cats. and a danger as the weather gets warmer. it's a problem you may not have heard of. a veterinarian joins us this morning to talk about high rise syndrome. good morning to you. we want to start with a tweet, who asks do we really need to call falling from a high height high-rice syndrome. >> this is a thing now. >> so there are studies that actually document the number of animal that's fall from high-rises, whether it be two stories and above, the kitten we

had fell from 12 stories. i walked in and said that erin softened my mood. isn't this a syndrome of owner keep your window close zbld they think their cat might be safe laying in the window if they have a screen in. but they can pop the screen right out. >> any sorts of numbers as to how often this happens? >> i can't give you exact numbers, but i mean, there are studies that documents hundreds of cases. >> so what do we do? i'm railing a little bit on the owners, i'm looking out for erin, but what do you tell them? >> the best way to protect irs is have a well-fitted screen that can't be easily pushed out. open the tops of the windows, don't let your cat out on balconies, move furniture away from railings.

and if you're going to start something that is loud, make sure the cat is not in the window or close the window. >> we were talking before about the hypocrisy surrounding some of this. this is where i get the pet lovers angry at me. we talk about pets are like our family. but a lot of the things that we allow happen to our pets we wouldn't allow to happen to our kids. how much of this is common sense. treat the pet like it's your child. >> there is some common sense aspects but people don't think a cat is going to jump out a window, but they may be chasing something they see. >> and the syndrome is they go out there, they don't know that you can't go too much further or they get out there and they freeze. we had a situation with a coworker where the cat went out and got petrified and froze and he had to be rescued. >> yeah. the syndrome is associated more with typical injuries we see

with cats when they fall from that height. because we see very classic injuries associated with falling from that level. >> i want to win back the hearts of all the people out there so they know that i'm a pet lover. >> this is erin. >> and erin is available for adeposition. >> he's about an 8-week old kitten. >> they come come to the pennsylvania aspa and come in and ask for the kit ens available for adeposition. >> aaron is going with me. >> if you have any comments, you can share them with us. it's a syndrome but we've got to look out for our pets. tweet us. just use the hash tag #fox29weekend. come get aaron. >> now a look at your interactive weather. karen is enjoying a couple of days down the shore. dave warren is in to tell us

about the weather. i got back from the shore last night. it was gorgeous down there yesterday, a little chilly but the sun was so enjoyable. >> it does call off a little in the afternoon. you see that this time of year. one thing we do not have is the rain. michael around new hope says yellow grass, no rain. need the rain it's still early in the season to see the grass starting to dry up a little bit. there's no rain, and this is indication of it. this is the drought monitor that gets issued every thursday and this yellow area abnormally dry, now we're in a moderate drought. we desperately need the rain. the pollen levels will start to increase. a little bit of rain not really enough to improve the situation. but it will peak on tuesday and it's mullberry in the grasses

and oak. if you suffer allergies tuesday you might notice it on tuesday. high pressure controls our weather that keeps us dry but there is a change. as the high moves off, we'll start to see the heat and humidity creep its way in a little bit each day. this will be a slow, gradual change and it gets hotter and a bit more humid and eventually some of that rain will move in. with a high situated here off the coast, i think a lot of that moisture will stay to our west. we'll see clouds tomorrow but fairly dry and this is the air mass that will give us this hot and humid weather. that change happens tomorrow. it's pretty much hot everywhere, maybe a little warmer at the shore. but there's that sea breeze developing again. so the temperatures warm up in the morning. mid to low 70s, then could be dropping throughout the afternoon as the wind picks up off the ocean. 68 today, that's the sea breeze, 78 down to 69 from monday morning to monday evening. the wind will pick up just a bit and start to increase out of the south. if you step outside this

morning, it's into the 50s, a little cooler but starting to warm up. the heat and the humidity in the forecast also has those thunderstorms. >> i have a hard time complaining about any weather that includes 80s, 90s in there. i'll roll with it. it's been nearly a month since a powerful earthquake rocked nepal. coming up, we'll show you how family came together to send aid overseas. >> fox 29 weekend takes you in focus to meet a true american hero who served our country with honor and bravery during world war ii. >> your comments continue to come in, we appreciate all of them. a perfect weekend, enjoy it, everyone. we appreciate that. and i don't know about the rest of you, but i need some eagles football in my life. we've also gotten a couple of comments, as much as we're

celebrating, as much as we're enjoying being out, let's not foerkt this weekend is about people who are willing to sacrifice for all of our lives and all of our freedom. we're on board with you and appreciate that comment. fox 29 weekend will be right back.

>> scientists put a lot of work into studying a lot of silly things. it's my job to tell you about them. you eat well all day. then nightfalls. suddenly it seems as though your fridge is calling your name. you can't stop eating cookies or ice cream or chips. they showed people pictures of high calorie food at different times of day and measured their reactions different time of day. they didn't get as high when they looked at them later in the day. scientists seem to think you may be overeating oreos close to your bedtime to get the same

brain rush you would get from eating a reasonable amount of food earlier in the day. >> there was more activity earlier in the day when they saw things like pie and cake and cookies than at night. why is this important? because if you are snacking at night, you may eat more to get that same amount of brain activity that you would with less earlier in the day. bottom line? be very careful about that nighttime snacking. it will creep up and get you. >> dr. mike's advice is always just right. no way to overdo it on that. so the study may sound silly, but it could have some smart advice if you're trying to slim down. >> got to love the silly science. led, cfl, it's not always easy to go to a store and pick out a light bulb these days.

how do you pick up the way to brightin up your home or office. >> buy a car, get a gun. the dealer's controversial promotion and why he seems to think it's a great idea coming up.

>>who... is this?! >>hi, i am heinz new mustard. hi na na na na >>she's just jealous because you have better taste. whatever. >>hey. keep your chin up.

for years, heinz ketchup has been with the wrong mustard. well, not anymore. introducing heinz new better tasting yellow mustard. mmm!

>> one month since the earthquake in nepal nepal killed 8,000 people. >> and philadelphia's nepali community is helping to raise money for the victims. they hosted a block party in south philadelphia that along with a recent fundraiser has brought in $8,000. some of those attending lost loved oned and others lost their homes. >> my sister died after a house collapsed on to her. >> a house crumbled down. and she was buried for four days and by the time they rescued her she already had passed. >> there are more than 500,000 homeless veterans in the u.s., but one major city is looking to decrease that number. san francisco is putting up a hundred units of housing.

half will go to veterans the other half to homeless families. it is important to give back to the men and woman who have given us so much. >> i don't have an opportunity to thank my dad for being a veteran. so i will speak through the veterans here to thank him. but this is important to the city, it's important to all of us. >> it's a personal mission for that mayor. the city exekts them to move in my 2018. >> we continue focusing on the people who sacrificed for us. the people who are paying the price for our freedom. it's time to take you in focus and on this memorial day weekend, we honor our nation's veterans. the men and women who would make the sacrifice in honor of our

country. >> he remembers like it was yesterday. >> oh, boy. let's put it this way. if i wrote a book, you wouldn't believe it. >> his tour started after the invasion of normandy, passing through a make shift cemetery. >> i was a newcomer and they said you're going to be a gunner. >> a tank gunner for the fourth division under general patton. >> the most motivating thing was we never stop. we keep moving all the time. if we only go a half mile, we're moving. >> reporter: patton's leadership

led him through europe, and to the town where hitler's army was waiting. >> all held broke loose. all kinds of incoming fire. you can't explain it. it was just like the fourth of july. everything blew up all of a sudden. >> reporter: battling the germans in the harsh december cold. >> the tanks were so-called that if your bare skin touched the metal you couldn't tear it off. you had to pour water on it. >> reporter: pushing through, defeating germany. >> five weeks of fighting to break the germans. they didn't want to give up. >> reporter: these days, he still helps the u.s. military,

providing real-life experience. >> we're looking at a new platoon leader, a new enlisted private you take some of the insights and view points of people like mr. french and you present them with that. you're connecting past and present but you're also making it a little more real for the new officer. >> reporter: it's been nearly 70 years since the u.s. helped win the war in europe, may 8, 1945. a day before neil's birthday. >> never forget it. >> reporter: not a bad way to start your 21st year. >> wow. and as the doctor said in the piece, when you see things like that, it not only makes it real for them, it makes it real for us. >> shifting gears now and look at your interactive weather.

we're going to take a live look outside. the teal ribbon 5k for ovarian cancer. it is a beautiful morning for that walk. dave warren, how is the weather looking the rest of the day? >> i was wondering if the weather will cooperate today with me being able to garden and cut the grass? thanks. >> of course it will cooperate. there is no rain out there. if your grass and garden is growing, it's been a bit dry, you should be able to take care of that easily today. the temperatures today will get a little warmer, almost up to 60 right now. the dew points climbing up to 51. once that gets above 60 it starts to feel a bit muggy and humid. that will be climbing easily into the 60s over the next few days. temperatures almost at 60 in philadelphia, a little cool this morning up across lehigh valley.

60s and even down the shore it's into the 60s. that's one place it will be cooler today. that wind off the ocean keeps the temperatures down. it will be dropping throughout the afternoon. ultimate doppler is all clear. high pressure in control but as it moves off, we start to see the clouds and rain coming in from the midwest. that's the humidity increasing and that's the temperature increasing as well. it all starts really overnight tonight and tomorrow. you'll see the warm air coming in with just a few clouds. you could wake up to clouds tomorrow morning, it won't rain. these are just high clouds increasing and there's that sunshine. but this is muggy weather here by tomorrow evening and it stays around for a while. in the 7-day forecast, we're up to the upper 80s and close to 90 on tuesday. still a bit breezy and warm, i think those showers and storms that's approaching through the state will hold off our area until wednesday when we see these thunderstorms develop. hot with a high of 90 and the temperatures stay right about 90

degrees. it could be a heat wave. it looks like it will be close to seeing that here by wednesday, thursday and friday. even saturday, temperatures are still into the 90s. these will be scattered and could be fairly strong with heavy downpours. we need the rain but not everybody will see the storms. each day, wednesday through saturday of next weekend. >> coming up, this is another reason why philadelphia is so much better than new york. $3,000, ready? you should be able to rent a fairly decent apartment for $3,000. >> you would think so. well, that's not necessarily the case in new york. wait until you hear about the tiny apartments being built in the big apple. >> we're so much cooler than you, new york. all that and more after the break.

>> 8:38. good morning, everyone. welcome back to fox 29 weekend. and your comments continue to come in. pj sends this one. memorial day we will not forget and says one day off is the least that those men and women gave us, respect the day. we absolutely agree with us. it looks like karen is chilling, they're camping, making smores,

nicely done. a great way to enjoy the weekend. you can send all of your comments to us. tweet them at fox 29 philly, just make sure you use the hash tag #fox29weekend. now let's have some fun knocking the king. >> time now for knocking the king. >> my name is tyrone. i heard what you had to say about the sixers and i totally disagree. >> many had hoped the sixers would get three picks in the top 11. so they tank the entire season, they won only 18 games, traded away the rookie of the year and got only one pick? so why do many believe in the sixers' gm? why? he made all these trades and got one stinking pick. it wasn't number one or two. why are fans still drinking that

kool-aid? >> two more years, huh? first of all you have no right to talk about the sixers wearing a yankee cap. that's ridiculous. so tyrone, that's number one. so you are in trouble right there. you like the direction of the team. let me see. they won 19 games two years ago. they won 18 games last year. my math says that's one game worse than they were the year before. oh, but the new pilot of the 76ers, the general manager, you've got to land the plane. he's happy they got the picks back up because it's job

security. we still got more numb one picks. there is no direction of this team, it's the trade and trade and trade and if you get lucky and you get somebody, the direction? nah. you got the wrong guy running the team. and take off that yankee cap! think you have what it takes to knock me? that's right, the king. shoot your video. send it to us here at fox 29 and i'll talk to you next week. ♪ under the boardwalk ♪

. >> it's 8:44 on fox 29 weekend. we're taking a look at what's trending. you buy a car and you can get a gun. it's part of a wild and controversial promotion by a car dealership in minnesota. >> it's in minnesota, so it's not here. but for the entire month of may, al's car dealership is offering a free handgun or a lawn mower to customers who spend close to $5,000 or more on a new vehicle. al is a big supporter of second amendment rights. he says since his promotion began he has been flooded with calls. some are supportive, others are

suppressing outrage. >> i know we will run it until the end of the month. the negative that came from it was people calling to the dealership and and and not being nice to the operators or the employees. >> we were talking about this before the show, that would not fly here. >> it couldn't fly and it may not fly in a lot of places because even carrying a gun in the car is illegal. another reason we said why philadelphia is so much cooler than new york city. new york city is building a new kind of apartment. the project involves cranes stook stacking prefab apartments on top of each other like a joint puzzle. the mod lar apartments are assembled off site to brooklyn

and trucked to manhattan where they're stacked up by legos. 250 square feet sounds small but when you're in a unit like this with efficiently designed space and with the idea of modern furnishishing in mind, it's a very spacious apartment. >> an average studio apartment rents for about $$2,500 a month for a studio. the micro units are expected to go between 2,000 and $3,000. a number will be set aside for formerly homeless veterans at a reduced rates. >> i can speak from experience out of this, it was 325 square feet. >> people are responding, getting tweets coming in. talking about the tiny apartments.

>> new york city where you have to earn six figures to afford a studio apartment the size of a dorm room. i just eliminated half of my wardrobe, my new york city apartment seems to have doubled in size. >> missouri residents come together to celebrate the birthday of the oldest person in the world. she turned 116 yesterday. she was born in 1899. and she bowled until she was 104 years old. she says there's nothing she can do about it. might as well just keep on living. >> here we go. i say it almost every week. one of my favorite segments. the junior reporter segment because you get to see the best and brightest of young talented reporters from throughout the

area today. samantha crawford from rider is here today. >> good morning. >> we've got memorial day weekend. you got to spend the time with a real hero. >> i wanted to meet with someone who represented the true meaning of memorial day. this one man i thought really, truly represented memorial day because he not only served for our country overseas but is doing service here at home. >> reporter: enlisting in the military is a heroic thing to do. from the yellow foot prints at boot camp to the land of the unknown in iraq, nothing could prepare him for what he was going to live through. >> it was a big blur throughout it all. i do remember certain situations, they were hard. they're hard to even talk about and think about now. but i do, i can clearly remember

everything that happened while i was there. >> within only one month, there were about 40 casualties. >> i did what i had to do. the heros to me are the men that fell. the men that are no longer with us. those are our heros. >> carlos, however, holds on to many fond memories of him and his brotherhood. one is their time helping children. >> we drive around the city doing patrols, always kids running around. no shoes on, for us to speak with the kids and always have a smile between each other will always be memorable for me. >> he would wake up, he would say the ceiling is caving in, that there were spiders all over him. he was dragging me out of bed by my feet telling me someone is attacking me. each day is different but we get through it. >> i'm living happily with my family. i want to enjoy that, because i've seen others who can't enjoy

that now. >> carlos now spends his time searching in his community through nonprofit hometown heros. >> key deal with situations in the community. people will come to us and say there's a sick kid down the road. we try to pair the people in the community that can match the people in need. >> i needed fulfillment. >> when you see stories like that it humanizes people who were sacrificing for us. he told you another story that didn't get a chance to share that touched him and his whole family. >> he told me he has siblings, he's close to his mother. and when he was overseas, there's large delays on the phone with family, and one of his phone calls to his mother there was actually bombs that landed right in his camp. so then the phone cut out and for three weeks he hadn't heard

from his mother. so for three weeks she didn't know whether her son was dead or alive. >> that's a perfect story for memorial day weekend. thank you very much. the junior reporters are always bringing us great stories. you can send them to us, leave them on our fox 29 facebook page, tweet us at fox 29 philly. just make sure you use the hashtag #fox29weekend. >> thanks to that, bill and thanks to our junior reporter for that. we're taking a live look at cape may, new jersey. i was able to be down there yesterday. it was a very nice day. we're talking a little about allergies. i know they're a big issue. >> yes, they are. you're getting a break now, but they will be coming back. the pollen is continuing to increase over the next few days as the wind picks up and we still are dry. a lot going on here.

things are dry. nothing on the ultimate doppler radar. not much to worry about as far as rain goes. there is no rain, that's a worry but that could be -- we could take tear of that in the 7-day forecast. it will be a little warmer today, 40s and 50s, a brief chill this morning across the lehigh valley through the south. we're into the 60s, a little cooler along the coast. that sea breeze will kick in later today and drop the temperatures. looking for 80 degrees, by 3:00, 4:00 we're close to 80, allentown is close to 80, many of the suburbs upper 70s near 80 degrees. a little cooler right along the coast there, and that will be the big story today. the sea breeze kicks in and drops the temperature throughout the afternoon. >> hi, i'm beth allen from diy,

with this week's around the house. i want to be good to the environment but i really don't understand the difference between cfl light bulbs and led. could you please break it down for me? rosa, there is a big difference. one of the things that consumers often misunderstand about the cfl is that they do contain mercury. and if you do have a broken light bulb in your home, you have a hazmat condition. you need to open the windows, remove pets and children from the house, wear gloves and contain all of the broken light bulb parts and take them to a designated drop-off site. even if they are not broken, the light bulbs need to be taken to a recycling center. and now we're moving into the led. they are environmentally sound, they put off beautiful clean light and they will last forever.

we're talking 10, 20 years depending on the usage. they're coming down in price points. a few things people don't understand the difference, often cfls are not compatible with dimmers and you can have them overheating. so you need to read the packaging and make sure whichever style light bulb you buy is the appropriate wattage for the fixture that it's going into and that it's compatible with dimmers or light control units in your home. if you have questions, tweet us and use the hash #fox29weekend.
