You Need to Know.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
To get your Wednesday, October ninth started well Spring ID
elementary students are given what apparently special stickers that are
thought to be sleeping AIDS. Two North Gate Crossing Elementary
teachers have been removed. Police are investigating these allegations. Stickers
with stars and clouds and the moon on them. They

(00:31):
put them on the child's hand and they help them
fall asleep. Parents are outraged, wondering why their kids weren't
falling asleep at night when they got home.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
And at HISD, there's more trouble. They've admitted they've accidentally
overpaid over four thousand HISD employees, mostly teachers and assistant principles,
and so in order to get the money back, they're
apparently giving employees smaller checks.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Mos.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah, that stings, especially around the holidays, especially when everything's
so expensive.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Now right, not good?

Speaker 1 (01:06):
And this isn't good Milton category five right now, next
twenty four hours should make landfall a direct hit on Tampa,
Florida one hundred and sixty mile per hour wins, twelve
foot storm surges possible, and here locally, beautiful Sonny, we're
gonna go up to seventy excuse me, we're gonna go
up to eighty eight today, but tonight possibly in the fifties.

(01:29):
This would be our first dip into the fifties since
April twenty third. But it's gonna go up to ninety
tomorrow and right through the weekend, so we're back to
the summertime temps and today eighty eight. Like I said,
right now, it's sixty four in Uptown and you're up
to date from Sunday ninety nine point one. Tell me
something good brought to us by our friends at Goodwill Houston. Well,

(01:51):
we want you to have fun, and we want to
do it super cheap, so cheap Halloween costume ideas that
you will love. How about this one Shrimp on the Barbie.
You dress up as Barbie and attach fake shrimp to
your dress, right like that one I mentioned earlier. Chip
on your shoulder. Just tape a potato chip to your shoulder.
And then there's this one for you dark humored people.

(02:12):
Cereal Killer, as in the cereal that you eat. You
sprinkle fake blood on your shirt and tape cereal to it.
Oh all right, And then there's this one party animal.
Put on an animal onesie and add party hats and accessories.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
These are easy, Come on, they're easy, They're cute. You're
gonna get a few eye rolls and some laughs. I'm laughing, yeah,
producer Anthony Dan.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
This is pretty awesome. Then there's a new festival coming
to galves An Island in booking its haunted past. It's
the New Ghost Coast Festival, and it's aiming to be
part comic con, part paranormal gathering, plus fired dancers, even
dancing witches. It's hosted over at the League Kepner House
on the island, which itself just looks on it and
they want this festival to be for everyone. There's food, drink,

Ghost Tours. There's even a Texas series called South Texas
Haunts that's going to be conducting an on site, late
