bill: take a look at this video is? it offense sniff. >> some say it is. >> the image of that is showing its not good to be black. >> dove actually took it down. we break that down for you on the show. and hurricane nate downgraded after it made land fall. how will it impact our area. i am bill spadea, this is chasing news. it is columbus day. it is a day celebrated every year and revered by italian americans across the the great country. a lot of kids off school but not without contro visor. there is a six-foot statute of christopher columbus in slocumb park. one organization wants to site taken done. he he ises no being quiet about it. i want to introduce to you

walter allah mar. walter, welcome to chasing news. how are you? >> thank you. i am good. thank you having me. bill: the statute has been up since 1961. do you think it is offensive? why, why do you want to site taken down? >> let me start by saying it is not italian movement and we are fond of the italian american culture in this country. but just like any other culture in any other nation, we have positive and negatives and in this instance, the statute of columbus is a name. i think also one of the main problems is that many americans are unaware of the atrocities that actually submitted against the indigenous people in the caribbean. bill: so walter, let me ask you. we could go back and forth. i am sure you read up on the different tribes that columbus discovered and the different battles in the cannibalism and

all of that. astride that, why take the statute down knowing what it represents todays the discovery of the new world and the opportunity for people to live free and prosperous. that is what it means? why take it down into well, when you look at theostat out. you are of black or hispanic decent. that is a recommendation of the genocide that occurred to our people and they are celebrating it in a town that is rich in history. bill: the challenge with that that is genocide never happened. it is not historically accurate. you know you are now on the same side as the ku klux klan. clue klux can fought in the 19 30's saying you cannot have a national holiday. >> that is absurd. if it is up to the ku klux klan, if you know the homework anothe last rish you cannot put the two together. i think you need do the homework there.

great to talk to you. what is next? >> mayor from what i understand. >> it is in the works. we will discuss what will happen. just simply move though proper police the italian american museum and not in front of a nation that is a neighborhood that is black and hispanic. ok. walter alomar thank you for joining us. appreciate. >> all right. thanks. >> i am joined by dr. henry and pediatrician. dr. liz good to. >> i there is a history of atrocities across the globe and to me it seems we're take it out of context. >> i would say it is not politically motivated but you have to keep in mind, they are take on what they want. they are signing petitions. this is what they want.

they should do what the community wants. they live in the town. they are in the community. >> what do you you? i well, i think the removal of the statute. it takes us down a slippery slope. columbus did atrocious things and he did not discover america in 1492 so history. so the problem is the history is right. the histories history. he did not do it. this is the problem people have. they don't understand the hest riff the different tribes and the alliance they had with the indians so i wish we had timing. the statute itself i see is a part of history and takes us down a slippery slope remove that statute and when the community fanned the come continuity changes, supposette changes to a white come tin. >> so you change the monuments. >> no, people come in. that is what i am saying. so i would be for leaving it for where it is, but also,

acknowledging that the trint history, what columbus has done. >> wouldn't it be better to acknowledge the truth. that they report on it. they are take little pieces. did you knee columbus has his own men? >> i think we're not getting to the real history here. don't you think is something to be upset about? no, i don't. i think people are needing to know the truth and are taught the truth in school. dari: wish. that is whole other subject. thanks, guys. >> thank you. bill: new jersey is a state that has more school districts than it has towns and municipalities in many district there are superintendents who are making between 160 and 215,000 a year. now despite a cap being put in place for teacher's salaries and other administrative salaries they figured out a way around the cap. it is a year end bonus and some of them are as hi as between 20

and 40,000. i want to bring tin news reporter sergio from new jersey 101.5 who brock the story and did the research. sergio, welcome to chasing news. >> thanks for having me, bill. bill: first of all, what tipped off? i have been ranting for a couple of years now. you had no idea if they could figure the work around. what tipped you off? what kind of research did you do to come boo pile. i started looking into it in the state, they raised the cap so the old cap and the large district to make was $175,000 and make 192,000 fawned look at the state, they get all much more than. not only do they get bonuses up to 15% of the cap, but they also get extra health benefit, they don't get. they get allowance every year that are not capped at all and 40,000 in addition to the bonus

and the salary tap. >> what are the more egregious ones tweep cycle ry bonus in a ally upses a. well, the superintendent has school district with less than 600 students and the salary should have been capped under the law of $135,000 and 60,000 and bonus allowances. >> why dow knee. >> oh, i know. governor christie. anyway, ser geo, thank you for joining me on chasing news. appreciate. >> not a problem. bill: great job on the report, too. all right. let's bring back the panel. you were on the school board. youer that, 68,000, 40,000. let's forget about the salary force a minute. it is expensive to live in new jersey. i don't want to downplay the job they do. i find it offense. >> i right. yes. i do agree that it is offensive and horrible to see.

let's put taxes in terms of education and we do need to foe cons the education. but instead of cutting the cap on the salary, we cut for their bonuses that they are getting and also think about the political connector that's the people have like we mentioned governor christie does live in the town. so perhaps, there is a lot of political influences that are aiding to the salary. >> don't you think it would make more sense. let me ask this you. i would like to see the bonuses divide up among teachers who are doing the work the kids directly. teachers made less money since the cap took place in 2011 now you got the bureau cats making $200 grand a year. that is offensive. >> i agree. first of a all, be what are they based on? are they based on performance officersly in a lot of the schools may not even be former. why are they getting the bows ins? so i would like to knee. yes, i think, the teachers are

underpaid so to have the super in dense get around the cap and get bonuses and allowances with no cap at all. the teachers who aren there the day to day grind are getting paid, you know, salary. >> you don't agree 100%. i could get rid of all them. uz compromise in the small towns? >> well, some of the small towns if they are able to do so, perhaps. but overall, we do need a superintendent to see the systems and keep them running smoothly and effect efly. bill: ok, thanks, guys. hurricane nate made landfall and is impacting our weather. let's check win meteorologist dan zarrow, what do you got. dan? meteorologist: a couple hundred miles to the west and north today. of course of course we saw some wind and rain upwards of that inch rainfall in some spots across the area but the ground so dry and sos this at this time sucked up the water and when you did not have any widespread flooding issues to deal with from nate.

was this less impact than you thought we would have. they were talking about a much greater impact in new orleans and mississippi. less or what you weeks sneak well, i think, it has a lot to do with the forward speed of the storm actually the fastest moving tropical cyclone ever reported the gulf exco and it was book it at 2,000 through the watt sore didn't have time to pk up strength and intensity. i affect the trajectory moving it to this left away from the tristate area and the storm could not sit over one location and it rained in the moved on again. it has a lot to do with the overall impact of the storm. bill: ok, thanks. we check in with you later with the local weather. coming up, did this video add phones. some say we're being too sensitive. all this of that coming up plus dan zarrow with the weather. meteorologist: coming up, beautiful weather returns for ail bit across the tristate area.

we have a case of fall coming later this week. i talk about when it arrives and how low the temperatures will go

>> welcome back. dan zarrow will have the weather hot, co, what is iting to do this week? but first, let me start with the story about dove. take a look at this ad. this is a dove soap ad. some people are crying foul saying its fine even racist.

ashley johnson has the full story. reporter: there is outcrying on social media for people to boycott dove after the company posted this video which many say is racist. in the 30 second video you see black woman remove the shirt revealing the white woman who takes off the skin colored top and medium complexion woman pops up. the image is confusing when because when you put it into the context of the video it makes sense on the im madge alone, it is sensitive and triggering as well for black women to see that and you know, and a black woman turning into a white woman somehow and that black skins dirty and that white skin is pure and fresh and a martive especially the soap industry since the 19th century. >> arsenio hall tweeted i bet mike pence and donald trump were shored in dove soap this morning. i am taking a knee tz the barbed

ivory. another tweet says let's be clear. dove knew what they were doing. with theracys ad, soap companies used to do this racist scene all the time. dove owned by unilever moved the ad from facebook and issued apology on both facebook and twitter. dove tweeted an image we posted on facebook missed the mark invent women of color thoughtfully. we deeply regret the offense it caused. i am ashley johnson reporting for chasing news. >> tank you. all right. let's bring the panel to weigh in on this. i have dr. liz henry here. good sue. >> dr. liz. >> and risk here. are former vp school board and have been here before. i appreciate coming back. thanks. dr. liz, let's start with you. are people getting to sensitive? what do you? i no, i don't think they are being sensitive. the ad itself, i mean, to have and being black woman to have a black woman in a dove, dove ad,

take off her shirt and turn knit a white woman. main, that is just, the image of that to young women, to young black women, to black win general is, is showing that, that if it is not good to be black. >> let me ask you? there was also another woman. a third woman who was a little darker come lex, dark hair, what do you think? offensive or not? >> i yes, i think it is offensive. i think dove has a lot more work they need to do. they need to foes can on administration perhaps and from the top town and adding more diversity to the team. >> are you not going to buy dove soap now? i do. i do use dove products but again this is a learning lesson for them. they node to reevaluate the way they sell the products to us. are they showing their rod ducks to diverse companies? diverse groups? >> if they reversed the order would people be as phoned? >> no. i don't think they would ever think of reversing the order and

that is the problem. >> do you think the ad marketing people to put this together were racists? >> i think it is subconscious boy as and that is the problem with corporate america and is you have to look at who is in the suite. it tells me. will go g out on a limb. in that suite, there was not a lot of diverse in there. they need more diversity. that is the final line. well, we done knee. we don't know who the executives in charge of dove are. i certainly don't know. if there were people of color. >> are you saying they are racists and don't know it? >> i am saying they have a certain form of bias due to where they come from and their experience and being not from a person of color and black back gunned, they are not telling automatically look through that lens. >> all right. >> all right. they need again, they need that second lens to have that open understanding where we are coming from.

>> why do people get so phoned though so quickly with a three second ad on facebook? isn't it enough to say, i don't like that. would i would immediately make assumption they are racists? >> well, because nowadays, especially when i was growing up. there were not imagings, good im mains of black women, black people in general until it shows the cosby show and there were more, people line shanda rhymes now in film crow eight new stories for black america and so now when you see those, we want those stories to be told. >> thank you for being here. >> thank. >> appreciate. you. bill: today as it big day not only celebrating co lums about day but the start of the annual bear hunt. not everybody happy about it. but under governor crists christies ty this has been a regular thing with hunters killing hundreds of bears every year. they have to thin the population. the full story and bring in

allison, what do you got for us? >> monday it is sunrise and the start of a bear hunt in eight new jersey counties and huntedders in newton, new jersey were greeted by protester two of whom were charge the first three day the hunt is for bow hunting and they are for muzzleloading rivals. state wildlife officials say he it is important because it not only reduce the bear population but minimizes humans. the last time a human was killed by a bear was back in 2014 when 22-year-old cents however say the hun is unnecessary and inhumane. the bear hunt could go away if democrat kick candidate murphies elected he said he is planning to put it on old. republican candidate has said he supports the bear hun and would keep kit in place. last year over 600 bears were killed and the second bear hunt is schedule ford the fourth through the 9th. i am allison reporting for chasing news.

>> thank you, allison. >> all right. here is dan zarrow a look at the local weather. i am meteorologist dan zarrow let's look at the weather forecast for the rest of the week. the remnants of nate pulling away from the tristate area so we'll see drier and clearer conditions through the overnight and maybe a couple of showers overall we fared well. really good for the almost drought situation and the ground just soaked up the moisture and it would be good see some more rain sometimes soon and that is coming later this week. your forecast for tonight a reschedule shower and maybe some fog and throm tors bottom out in the 6's by tuesday morning and looking like a real winner of a weather day as we return to sunshine and it with be less hu humid but nice and warm. most reaching to the lower 80's during the day. wednesday again, it is transition day as we go from sun to clouds and chance of showers popping in by the evening time. highs in the lower to mid 70's then along comes the taste of

fall on thursday. we see highs probably only in the 60's across the area and may be back to jacket and sweater time. speak of fall by the way, foil ame season approaching the peak and starting to see colors and see the peak of colors generally mid to late oc across the area. i am meteorologist dan zarrow. >> here is a look at though headlines we are chasing today. >> at least a dozen wildfires in california wine country monday destroying more than 1500 business and forcing 20,000. >> we have areas that we could not get to. this us rapid fire event. meryl streep break out about harvey weinstein over sexual harassment claims detailed in the new york times report. in a statement, streep called weinstein god in the 2012 golden globe acceptance speech called

the alleged harassment by wine stren disgraceful, inexcuse, abuse of power and called the western that came forward. the tickets coast $998 over over $1,000. that is price for a front row seat for per fop as when bette midler leads production. hamilltons the only other show that reaches that level. >> coming up in sports, controversial sin my ap.m. one is out because of the video you will see it. that and the giants, i think they are going to win this season.

misses the two-point conversion, 22-17. the last time you see odell catch the ball this year because in the fourth, beckham, across the middle, falls in the hip, twist the left ankle, it is broken. the replay is painful to look at. i don't know if he is crying because he lost the contract or a lot of pain. probably a combination of both there and two months before he can put the weight on it. eli later in the quarter fumbles and trying to get out of their open. chargers recover on the 11-yard line. touchdown pass. giants lose. also losing, they are in trouble. 3-2. jets. let's go to cleveland. former brown in the third quarter. austin jenkins for the touchdown. it is 10-jets. fourth quarter now. 8:30 play. a 24-yard touchdown. they go on to win. they are 3-2 and get it. we'll find out how real that is
