Transcripts For WNYW Good Day New York 20150903

At the race theyre going, this survey says its going to take at least 50 years to fix them. Well tell you where the shabbiest lines are. This morning were going to talk about yesterdays lirr mess, we also have damon wayans. We have the impractical jokers, and annas going to be doing something with crazy ice cream that nobody understands, but well figure it out very popular. Apparently, they have long lines. I think its down in your neck of the woods actually. Oh, is it . Yes. Mott street. Is that by you . Close enough. Its ice cream. Youve got to take a walk, so that way you deserve it. Burn off the calories. Exactly. You know what you said about, hey, listen, the cold weathers going to be back soon . Somebody said i had a post that said im sorry for the things i said about winter. Everybody gets tired after a while, most folks get tired of it. Looks like its starting to wear thin im enjoying it. Except for mr. Happy. Yeah, mr. Personality, mr. Happy, hes excited. I love it. Seriously, though, we know how quick the season changes. I know. It is that time of year where the days are getting shorter, temps start coming down. Every day that weve had so far in the month of september has been at 90 plus. Oh, yeah, thats been two. Anyhow, were going to keep it that way for one more day, and then well start to see a backdown in temperatures. The other thing that goes along with these high temps and takes a hit. If youve got a problem like emphysema or asthma, these days can be difficult, and we have this air quality alert in effect for most of the tristate region starting at 11 00 this morning evening. You want to take it easy on a day like today. Make sure you take it easy, especially if you have one of those issues. Look at that fog, it popped back up in islip, down to oneitth of a mile. Elsewhere doesnt look so bad, monticello down to one and threequarters of a mile. The temps are the same general range as yesterday, 60 in sussex, 66 in allentown and 61 in monticello with a mainly clear sky. If you dont have the fog, youve got plenty of sun coming at you here today, and thats what were going to keep for a while. Back door cold front will change things up later on, but that means a better chance of showers trying to pop through here, but not until late tonight, and i think most of us have to get away without having to deal with rainfall. After the patchy morning fog we do have especially in the long island area, well head up to 86 by lunchtime and a high temp of 92 later on, back to 89 for the ride home. Shower chances not really a problem during the day. But late tonight into tomorrow morning, thats when you could see a few showers. Again, i dont think theres going to be a lot of it. Down. High of 82 tomorrow, same thing on saturday. All right. Now theres get you over to ines quieter side. Right now we do have an incident on the bqe approaching the lie, that eastbound. Theres a stall blocking a lane. If youre taking the long island expresswayway, normal drays towards queens delays towards queens boulevard. No problems on the parkway or the turnpike. Lets go to our cameras, the Staten Island expressway, we have problems here. The construction has been such an an issue the last couple of weeks. Doing fine on the eastbound side, but westbound traffic moving slow because of road work, so off the verrazano bridge expect delays. As for the trains, doing great this morning. No problems with metro north, Long Island Railroad, new Jersey Transit or the path trains. Thank you, ines. Theres a new case of legionnaires disease in the south bronx. Health Officials Say the Melrose Houses tested positive for legionella bacteria. Fox 5s robert moses has the details, he is in the bronx with the story. Good morning. Good morning to you. Residents tell me the hot water remains off this morning, so a whole lot of people are taking cold showers. And that is because the hot water Distribution System here in this building tested positive for the legionella bacteria. Once again anxieties are running high in the south bronx. Beginning today the new York City Housing Authority is expected to install water filters that eliminate the legionella bacteria in every apartment at 681 cortland avenue in the Melrose Houses. The hot water Distribution System in that building tested positive for the bacteria. The health d. Says the hot water will be turned back on once the filters are installed. Two other buildings tested negative. Results at five other buildings in the complex are pending. According to the citys Health Commissioner, there has been four cases of legionnaires disease in the Melrose Houses this the last since months. Only one person is still hospitalized. Those who live in the building that tested positive wonder why are they just finding out about these cases now . They already had an inkling something was going on. Why didnt they let us know . Why wait til the last minute to tell us that its here . So everybodys panicking. We just find out today, and its a shame. Got me scared, because im up in age. Im 77 years old. Not long ago the city delareed the legionnaires outbreak vanquished, but then came this news in the Melrose Houses and word that an all girls school on the Upper East Side tested positive for the legionella bacteria a, and once again the city is up easy. More than 120 people got sick in this summers outbreak, 12 people died. And it does not appear that the small cluster of cases here in the Melrose Houses is at all related to that earlier outbreak that swept across the city this summer. The Health Department says that the cold water many this building is safe, and those ive spoken to this morning tell me those filters will begin to be installed today and, hopefully, once that happens the hot water comes back. That is the latest live from the melrose section of the bronx this morning, ben and teresa, back to you. Lets hope. Robert moses, thank you very much. 7 07, firefighters are are battling a blaze that has spread to several homes in the kensington section of brooklyn. Mike weinstein, whats going on .

Police are searching for a man they say raped a 19yearold woman on sunday. Take a good look at this surveillance video. The man walking with his shirt partially off, the sketch shows the shirt around his face, is the man they want to question. They say the woman was approached by a guy who said he had a gun. He pulled her into the back of a building and raped her. The suspect is described as wearing blue and White Hawaiian shorts and that white tank top which was covering his face as well as a tshirt. If you have information, call crimestoppers, 1800577tips. Football games and practices suspended at Susan Wagner High School on staten Staten Island. At least one parent says upper classmen targeted freshmen by shooting them with bb or air pellet guns, hitting them with broom sticks, drawing lewd pictures on them with magic marker and remembering their rear ends, rather, in the faces of the players while they were sleeping. However, many players and parents say theyre being unfairly targeted. Its really disheartening in a way because of all the work weve put in. I just dont think a whole team should be punished for something that these few individuals did do. A special investor is now investigating. The nypd is claiming this has been the citys safest summer in decades. From june through august the number of murders and shootings were at the lowest level since the early 90s. Shootings are down nearly 1. 5 through the first eight months of the year compared to last year, assaults and burglaries also down. While the summer was safer overall for the year, murders are up 6 , and sexual assaults have jumped more than 5 . All right. Did you hear . The pope is coming to town. Its a busy time for the popes visit later this month. The top priorly, deeping the pope priority, keeping the pope protected. A new poll shows the americans really do like pope francis. Liz dahlem joins us from midtown, and she she has more on this. Good morning. Good morning, ben and teresa. Thousands and thousands of new yorkers are going to come face to face with pope francis as he makes his way through this historic procession through central park, youre doing to need a ticket to get there, and those tickets are going through this lottery process which is going to start today.

You can apply now until september 7th, and the winners will be announced on september 10th. We all know protecting pope francis is going to be a huge undertaking. The nypd is going to have a massive security plan in place from officers on the ground to the secret service who will be in charge. A former secret Service Agent who was assigned to president obamas protection detail says the pope will get the same take a listen. Theres simply no way to secure someone with the threat footprint the pope carries with him with a discreet profile that he likes to carry around. After central park pope francis will celebrate mass at Madison Square garden, and this is the chair his holiness will sit in. Cardinal dolan unveiling it yesterday. Its very simple, and am immigrant worker actually built it. The pontiff wanted it that way. He wanted to keep it very simple, simplicity and humility philosophy for the time that he has been in this role, and it seems to be working. Americans actually saying they love the direction the church is going in. 18 of those questioned, a recent quinnipiac poll, said they are very favorable to the pope and 48 saying they are favorable as well. So it seems hes getting very good reviews ahead of his historic view to new york city. Were live in front of st. Patricks cathedral this morning. When you talk to people, especially young catholics, they are very encouraged by pope france sis. Very dynamic individual. Liz dahlem in midtown, thank you. All seven buildings that use the jfk High School Campus in marvel hill will be open for the first day of school. The building was damaged by a gas explosion last month that injured three workers updating the science lab at the time of the blast. The building is structural sound and air quality poses no risk to students and staff. The Citizens Budget Commission says it wont be until 2067 before the entire subway system is fixed. It found that 25 of all infrastructure like stairs and platforms and columns are in major disrepair and that doesnt even include the actual tracks and the signals. Most of the worst stations happen to be in queens along the n and the q lines. The story line and the flushing line which runs the 7 train. The commission is recommending that the mta focus on repairs, but the hta says mta says it needs to expand. 7 13 now. The Empire State Building has refused to go gold for Childhood Cancer. Many parents and organizations have pleaded with officials to light up for one night in honor of september being Childhood Cancer awareness month, but the famous landmark is standing its ground despite being slammed for not going gold last year. The building says it cannot light up for all organizations and says in the past the skyscraper has lit up for world cancer day, Breast Cancer research. This is something that has a lot of people upset, we light it up for the super bowl when the yankees win, every sports team, but for childhood chance children. And those parents very passionate about the issue. All right, lets turn our attention back to the weather, a much lighter topic here. A pretty nice week steamy. I am starting to notice more and more of the complaints on the heat and humidity. Oh, really . Yeah. Any from Ben Simmoneau at all . Not one. Not at all. How many, you you are gloating. I have two work days. He made a bet that he will not complain they say i complain too much about the cold weather. I want to talk to your wife and see if youre complaining at home and not doing it here. Shes probably mad at us because he takes it autoon her. No. Thats not true. Im just an affable, likable individual. [laughter] happy, happy. Anyway, just do the weather. All right. 35 degrees, thats your temp, central park. Same thing, newark, 66 in allentown, 6 of in poughkeepsie and dewpoints are again pretty high. 64 in central park, 70 in islip and montauk, even worse as you head out to the east, surrounded by the water it does tend to hold that moisture up a little bit more. Lets check out the wellness forecast. Allergies, its mainly the molds and the rag weds, so keep that in mind. Uv index is up to 7, and unhealthy levels of ozone across the majority of the tristate. We do have an air quality alert, so a lot of times people want to talk about allergies and breathing issues in the beginning of the warmer season, now were heading toward the end, and we still have issues. And ragwield is one of the more ragweed is one of the more problematic culprits out there. Anyhow, lots of sunshine coming to you, but a back door cold front will come in and change things up, bringing in more cloud cover by tonight. Look how much rain comes out on the computer models, not too much at all, just a few spritzes of rain here and there is all we should get out of it. The main thing that were going to see is High Pressure building in with much cooler high temperatures. Hey, if you happen to be heading out to the open today, high temp up to 92 for the afternoon session, the day session. The night session still going to be on the warm and sticky side, maybe an isolated shower out there, but i dont think theres going to be too big of a problem in the city or near the stadium. Anyhow, a high of 29 tomorrow 92 today, 82 tomorrow. Fantastic for labor day weekend, and the humidity takes a short break. Lets bring in ines rosales and see if were catching a break on the roads a and rails. Not as big problems as we had yesterday and the day before with the Long Island Railroad, the day before it was the bruckner. Trach a look this morning take ooh look there, lets go to our cameras, take a look at the cross bronx, normal delays westbound heading towards jerome avenue. On the eastbound side youre final as for the George Washington bridge, upper level its about a 10 minute delay, not bad, mostly from 80 95 express. Mike did say its hot out there, about 30 minutes inbounds, the holland tunnel, a 15 minute delay. Does look quite hazy. All right, ines, thank you very much. Yeah. Its going to be warm, but i say embrace every minute, because we know in about five weeks im going to be out there bundled up complaining about the cold. Look at that, sky fox hd looking at the Empire State Building. Tough to see new jersey. Yeah, but listen, as long as you get a little bit of a breeze going, youll be just fine, especially if youre going to the open today. Especially. Right. Plenty of beverages as well. And just try to move from one side of the stadium to the next. Try to stay away from the sun. Lets take a break. Good day is back in two minutes. We thought we d be ready. But demand for our cocktail bitters was huge. I could feel our deadlines racing towards us. We didn t need a loan. We needed shortterm funding. Fast. Our amex helped us fill the orders.

I think so. Have you read the book about that light . No, i havent. The Little Red Lighthouse and the great gray bridge. Is that a Childrens Book . It is. Thats on my reading level, so i should definitely check this out. I think it came out either in the 30s or 40s, my daughter loves it. We took a bike ride up there. Tell me about it, ben, tell me what i need to know about the Little Red Lighthouse and the been great gray bright house. The Little Red Lighthouse this sounds like an amazing story. However, the moral of the story is its still needed, because one day its light news not shine, theres a storm, and without the lighthouse, some ships crash upon the rocks that you see there so youre telling me even though this its not the biggest thing in the world, it is still necessary. What you are saying is size does not matter. [laughter] way to take a nice childrens moral and turn it into Something Like that, teresa. Why not . [laughter] wow. Because, you know, that you were thinking it too, im sure. I blame this on rosanna, because shes clearly she would say that. Exactly. Is it the seat . And, actually, greg kellys the one who would come up with that obscure little fact. [laughter] so i see its contagious. He is seated this morning thats true. Hed be hovering around or Walking Around crashing into things. I get it. Yeah. Competing with the cameras for space. You know, anyway, i will be sure to check out that book. Its interesting. Yeah.

Do they do that on labor day . They do. Yeah. Its coming up. We will see anytime a couple of days. Here it comes, this weekend. Whats going on . Looks pretty good for us here. Actually, i think a lot of folks are getting out of town, so maybe a little quieter at least in the city. Schools back for some folks, but everybodys back next week. Anyhow, what we had for the month of august and leading into september, so far this summer 90 degree the days, lets talk about that. One of them, we had one in the month of june. Thats not that big of a deal. Five in the month of july, eight in the month of august. Thats quite a few. Two so far for the month of september, but weve only had two days so far, so its been a very warm start. The average number of 90degree days is 15, and weve already had 15, looks like were going to have at least one or two more, last year we only had eight. That was a cool summer. I know a lot of folks werent happy with that. Heres what we have this morning, central park 75 degrees, dewpoints and humidities pretty high with a partly to mostly cloudy sky here in the tristate. There should be some cooler air working its way down to the south, and thats going to change things up and bring us some more cloud cover by later on tonight and eventually some showers. But not so much during the day. During the day weve got another hot and humid one. High up to 92. Storm chances late tonight, early tomorrow morning and a high of 28 tomorrow, but it stays on 82 tomorrow, but i stays in the 80s over the weekend. Lets bring in ines rosales and check out the conditions with the roads and rails. Good morning, mike. Its not so bad out there. Of course, sop problems. 78, theres a problem westbound as you approach the garden state parkway. Late running construction causing a headache as you get off the verrazano bridge, one lane closed, so causing a problem westbound. On the eastbound side youre fine. Of theres queens, just your normal delays on the lie, the van wicks slow have and the wge bqe, a slowdown there. On the 59th street bridge, doing fine on the upper level. As for the trains, everything running on or close to schedule this morning. Thank you very much. 7 33 now. It was a mess yesterday morning on the Long Island Railroad, there was no way you can sugar coat it. Raising a serious red flag about our infrastructure, especially transit problems. What is worse is that this is certainly not the first major issue that we have had no. Even this summer. And its not just the east river, its also things that are going on getting from new jersey into new york as well. But lets bring in Veronica Vander pool with the Tristate Transportation Campaign which is an advocacy group, and you were telling us you essentially are encouraging people to take mass transit and not drive. Transit. Well, we want to provide Transportation Options for people in the tristate region. We recognize not everyone can option. Thats what we work to do. Lets be honest, frankly, it looks like our train infrastructure whether its the lirr, the problems weve seen with metro north, the issues with new Jersey Transit and amtrak, doesnt matter which direction, the train system in this area is a mess. Well, one important thing to keep in consideration is our Transit System and infrastructure is incredibly old. The portion Washington Branch which fail port Washington Branch was built in 1864. Our subway system, 1904. Weve not seen the level of investment over the decades needed to neighbor this aging maintain this aging infrastructure. So many riders say we are paying for it, our prices keep going up. We are doing our part. We are told to use mass transit is, we are told thats an effective way of getting around, and were doing it and were willing to pay for it, but its not being kept up. Only one person is keeping up their side of the bargain, to so to speak. Thats absolutely true. Im a transit riders, and what weve seen is, yes, were constantly on the hook when state or federal officials are not investing enough or cutting back on funding. New jersey has actually reduced its funding for new Jersey Transit by 88 over ten years. Thats significant. All right. Who do you place the blame with . Is it with Governor Cuomo in new york . Is it governor christie in new jersey . Is it the federal government in washington . You know, the mta has said that the city, mayor de blasio is not contributing enough. Is everybody to blame enough . Were talking about the hudson rail tunnel especially. Everything. The situation with the lirr. This is a historical problem, and it goes beyond the today. This is congress problem, new problem. What weve seen over decades is an inadequate level of investment, so this certainly goes beyond cuomo and christie and president obama. Where we are right now is these are the elected officials who are in power who should be showing leadership and championing more funding for these transit programs. But again, we cant just say that it goes beyond the president. Yes, one person has been kicking the ball down the road, right . But somebody has to do something at some point. I remember when we were doing a story about the new hudson rail tunnel and all the problems that nj transit was having, it was senator schumer saying this is going to be armageddon for those people who rely not only on nj transit, but also amtrak on those rails. If this fails the way people expect it will in the future, very near future, we are done for. Thats absolutely true. 200,000 people come through those tunnels every single day. 3300,000 people use 300,000 people use lirr. If we continue to see the level of crisis that weve seen on our Transit System so far, were in bad shape in days ahead. And i think people say its only going to get worse. Weve got a very busy september coming up, u. S. Open going on now, fashion week, i think, starts next week. Weve got the pope coming to town, the president , the u. N. General assembly, school is going back into session for just about everybody. We asked Governor Cuomo yesterday if new york is prepared to handle this, especially the crowds for the pope, and heres what he had to say. I hope theres a lot of energy and a lot of excitement, and the mta is doing everything that they can do to be ready for it, but its going to be, you know, one of those great new york moments. And itll be very exciting. But whenever you have millions of people mobilizing throughout the city, i mean, its not going to be an easy, its not going to be an easy task, but its going to be a great couple of days. Do you think our mass Transit System can handle the crowds were going to see in the next couple of weeks . Any of these events put tremendous stress on our Transit System. I think preparation schedule, a lot of Contingency Planning needs to be put in place, and i know that the city and state are working on that. That is really the key. New Jersey Transit underestimated the amount of transit users for the super bowl, and we saw what happened there. Tree times as many people used the system than was projected. I think whats important is making sure theres p contingency plans in place. Lets hope they do it, because its getting out of control. Veronica, with the tristate transportation commission, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you very much. Well see what happens over the next couple of weeks. Still to come on good day new york, why the mens number one seen, djokovic, was dancing at yesterdays u. S. Open. Thats coming up. [cheers and applause] the doubles team.

[ cheers and applause ] a wave of gameday excitement is rolling into dunkin. Taste the new tailgater breakfast sandwich, stacked with smoked sausage, fireroasted peppers, and onions. America runs on dunkin. Oh, welcome back. All right. Heres what to expect for us today. Weve got a heat wave thats going to continue i thought you guys were going to throw it to me. [laughter] weve got temperatures getting up to 90 plus here. This will be the fifth day in a row, so its probably the longest heat wave that weve seen or at least tied. Does not look like temperatures are going to be as hot tomorrow, coming down probably close to ten degrees from what we have today. Labor day weekend, weve got a sunny, dry one coming up, nice weather altogether if you like it on the sunny and dry side, weve got that coming at you. We could use some rain, but its do . 63 in poughkeepsie, 69 in bridgeport and 73 in montauk. We do have some fog out there still, down to oneeighth of a mile visibility in islip, some areas it could go down, so if you run into it, headache sure you slow it make sure you slow it down. High pressures in control, heres the back door cold front with the cooler canadian air thats going to drop through. It doesnt bring much other than some more clouds and a few patches of rain early tomorrow morning, thats it, but it will down quite a bit. Heading out to the open, another hot one for the afternoon session, it peaks out at about 92 degrees this afternoon. Storm chances almost nil. So dont worry about that, but it will be hot and sticky. Cooler tomorrow with morning showers and then dry as we head into the upcoming weekend. Temps from the lower 80s to mid 80s by the end of it. Daily and e hourly forecasts are available at the apple itunes store, the fox 5ny weather app, and its free, and it comes in handy. Lets go over to ines. Problems on the Long Island Railroad yesterday, right now we bridge westchester bound. Theres a stalled tractortrailer, but its on the northbound sowed. The guy blew out two tires, theres no incident, so you can see delays on the thruway, going back to the palisades. As far as your commute in new jersey, the parkway doing fine crossing the driscoll bridge, no problems on the turnpike. Lets go to our cameras, take a look at the long island expressway by deer park avenue westbound, mauving slow. About it. Eastbound, youre moving fine. George Washington Bridge, upper lower level looks good. 495 backed up to route 3 and the turnpike, 45 minute delay of holland tunnel about 1015. If youre taking the trains, no problems to report. Ben, teresa is, back to school this week and then next week, going to pick up in volume, but not that bad. Wait until tuesday. I think itll be thursday. Its accumulating slowly. Oh, boy. Get a lot of sleep this weekend, ines. Duke . Debate on talk radio and twitter who should the mets send to the bullpen, noah send guard, barr toe hoe cologne, very, very interesting. They need to fortify that bullpen. Mets rookie steven matz will get the start this sunday. This a change to manage sippedder guards innings and work. I can hear all the Old School Baseball guys going, no, no, we cant do that. Meantime, last night at citi field, mets and the phillies. Bottom of the second we go. Score, 10, and heres something you definitely dont see every day [laughter] goes over the right field fence, and the ball, you know, goes all the way lets Reuben Tejada score all the way around.

In todays health watch, a new case of legionnaires disease in the south bronx has been detected, and a lot of people are concerned about this. Dr. Raj here with details. We were told outbreak is over doctor and it is, because this is not technically part of an outbreak, but they did find one of the water coolers did test positive for the legionella in the melrose housing complex, and this is in the south bronx. So there have been four cases in this particular area, in this cluster. Its not an outbreak, and the most recent one was recently diagnosed.

I remember when the initial outbreak occurred, the Health Commissioner and members of the cdc were saying legionella bacteria is very common. Its when people start to get sick in clusters that we really should be worried, right . Exactly. Is that the way this is supposed to work out . True. But we really dont want that bacteria in our cools systems. When its in an airconditioning system, that can potentially expose a lot of people. So they are cleaning up the cooling system.

He says there is no political agenda. Yeah. Sometimes things are just music videos, right . Yeah. Something for the art of it. If they had put more black people in the video, people would have said he was rewriting history. One way or another, its just a music video. You can critique it its a good song. Anna, thank you.

Football games and practices are susz pended on Staten Island after hazing allegations rocked the team. Ben it happened upstate at a football camp.

A surfer dog wasnt the calling until later in life. A volunteer for k9 companions adopted him after a Career Change in the program. He already had the training and loved helping people. He was destined for bigger things. They put him on the surf board and the rest is history. A program for children and adults with special needs. As soon as we got here, he jumps out of the car and runs to the beach, so he knows, once he sees the board hes all excited. He doesnt surf for the fame and fun, they tried it and succeed while doing it. Just the confidence hes got getting on the water and standing up, it is just an absolutely wonderful experience. Hes standing there waiting to be pushed out again. Norm has cut the line, loves cookies for rewards and belly rubs. See norm on lincoln boulevard this saturday on long beach. Hes raising money.
