On November first, the Food Bank is going to launch
several food distribution sites all across Houston. Details later today.

dollar helps provide three meals. That's a lot of bang
for your buck. Right well, we're keeping our eyes on

this a Jamaica. It's just going to be amazing. Many
Houstonians have a Jamaican connection. Hurricane Melissa should make landfall
between ten and twelve this morning Houston time. This is
a catastrophic Category five storm and it's the longest to
hit the island since record keeping began one hundred and
(01:03):
seventy four years ago. Now, to add to the destruction,
a life threatening storm surge is also expected. Cajun Navy
is there to assist and for us. The weather Well,

We're going up to eighty eight. But then overnight hail rains,
gusty winds, blowing vampires and witches all over Houston. They're

in the fifties tomorrow, in the forties Halloween morning crazy.
So today up to eighty eight. Right now it's sixty
eight and uptown and you're up to date on sunny.
(01:48):
Tell me something good brought to us by our friends
at Goodwill Houston. Well, the baseball field at Cleveland Park
bears the name of Officer Timothy L. Hearn, an HPD
officer killed in the line of duty fifty years ago
making the ultimate sacrifice. Well, the sign really is in
a state of disrepair and the park was too.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Friends of the park have started to restore the park
and we can all join in getting a new sign
that honors Officer Hearn. To get involved, you can check
out Cleveland Park dot net. They're hoping to have enough
donations to put up a new suite sign by December.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Fifteenth. What a Quirest House gift to that park, right.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Producer, Anthony Dane, You've been talking about it in your
three things you need to know. Millions of Texans could
lose access to food assistants though snap and if it's
starting November first, if this government shutdown continues, well, whatever Texas.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Is in need here comes ATB.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
They have stepped up with a six million dollar donation
to help our food banks and senior programs. So five
million of this donation heads to our banks across the
state and the other million to meals on wheels programs
that serve our homebound seniors. And this all part of
HIV's food Bank Assistance program, which since nineteen eighty two
has provided more than one one and a half billion
pounds of foods. So once again they're through emergencies and
(03:04):
as Texans needs change, we say thank you to AHV
for stepping up once again.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
And that's their whole mission. They always want to help
the case they always do.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I love that Dalveston, Big things coming sacks on the
sea wall. This is a five hundred and fifty excuse me,
five hundred and forty million dollar project. Galveston's West End

two condo towers, two large multifamily apartments, a seventy thousand
square foot area for retail and restaurant space now Phase
one TIERA on the beach, three towers facing the golf.
There'll be two eleven story condos and a two hundred
and sixteen room Marriott Renaissance hotel. I mean the plans
(03:55):
are huge, man. These two the restaurants coming along, five
of them possibly Floyd's Cajun Seafood and La Madeline Day.
Amazing things coming to Galveston's West End. And for our
feel good stories each weekday mornings set a preset on
the new and improved iHeartRadio app to Sonny Natty nine
point one, Sunny Naty.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Nine point one. It is SETI sloud. Now I'm gaining
with producer Antheony. We've got Houston's.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Best variety of the eighties, nineties and today. Well, the
year that I burned down my kitchen is the year
that we stopped carving pumpkins. I got a little too
focused on having fun with the kids outside, and I
forgot that I was cooking chicken. I mean I literally, well,
I wasn't just cooking chicken. I was frying chicken and splatter. Yeah,
burned down the kitchen, not like totally burned down, but
(04:42):
everything melted. So I remember cleaning it up the best
that I could and took the kid's trick or treating.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I mean, what are you gonna do? I mean, yeah, right,
Halloween was you still went on with it.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
That's right, we saved Halloween.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
But after that, I, you know, I redid my kitchen
and actually it was kind of a lessing in disguise
because it taught me how to redo kitchens.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
To turn lemonade from lemons. But anyway, we never carve
pumpkins again after that that long.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
But that makes people hurt themselves, and that prevents them
from carving pumpkins ever again.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
That would stop me yet.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Right, we learned in our nearly Impossible Question fifteen hundred
people end up in the.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Er carving pumpkins. Watch car knives slippery, right, easy to do.
So I went.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I mentioned in our kind of a Clue Sharpiest because
I started getting sharpies at hobby lobby and sharpies do
amazing pumpkin faces to do. Yeah, you outline your thing
and yeah, and they don't you know, once they dry,
they don't rub off. Some people use paint. I would
love to hear what you're doing with your pumpkins. I
know a little girl who did a She got a
(05:51):
pumpkin and did paper mache characters from a.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Book that she's reading. That's cool, that's right.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
So the pumpkin was just kind of the form and
then she paper machede over it.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
That's awesome. So many creative.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Things to do with pumpkins. How do you do your
pumpkins for Halloween? We'd love to hear from you.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Seven one three two one two five ninety nine to one.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Sunday ninety nine point one in Houston's Best Variety of
the eighties nineties.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
And today it's seven twenty two.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Now I'm Dana with producer Anthony, and we have got
a change in the weather on the way. We're gonna
go up to eighty eight today. It's the calm before
the cold because a storm is going to be bringing
in the cold. They're saying we could have hail, gusty winds, rain,
and I'm just thinking, you know, if the witches are
flying around and vampires and ghosts, they are going to
(06:37):
be flying and blown all over the place because gusty
winds tonight dropping the temperatures maybe thirty degrees or more.
So when we wake up in the morning, it could
be in the fifties. Finally, we've waited a long time
for this, and then on Halloween morning we could be
in the forties. Not a freeze yet, but in the forties.
So and today tomorrow rather, we're gonna be only going
(07:00):
up to seventy, So it's going to be beautiful today. Yeah,
we're going up to eighty eight. And right now it's
sixty eight in Uptown. And we're talking about how you
decorate your pumpkins. We learned that fifteen hundred people end
up in the er carving Halloween pumpkins.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
So maybe you've changed up a little bit. Maybe you paint.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I saw a pumpkin that was turned. They used paper
mache to create a book character with a pumpkin. Totally messy,
but a little bit safer. And we're asking you what
do you do with your pumpkins? Are you carving them?
Are you painting them? I burn my kitchen down one
year carving pumpkins. So now the kids are they can
use sharpies. That's about my level. But there's so many
(07:41):
great ideas on Pinterest on social media, so I'm asking
and maybe you can decorate them with sparkles and all
kinds of additional things that you can get at hobby lobby.
So the question is, describe your pumpkin this year? Are
you carving it or are you decorating it and keeping
it in ten hacked so it lasts just a little
(08:01):
bit longer because you know you can use these pumpkins
right through Thanksgiving. So let's go to the phones. We
have got Jennifer calling in from Katie. Jennifer, describe your
Halloween pumpkin for us.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I just put all the kids in the driveway and
put a put a curve down and let them carve
them out. No one ever wants to pain them. They
want to carve them all.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
That is it. I love it. Put them way out
in the driveway on the tarp. That is excellent.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
How are your kids They range from uh, there's six total,
so they range from nine to eighteen.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Oh my, well, Jennifer, you know you have your built
in babysitters there, so they can help with the younger
kids if they're getting a little too aggressive with those knives.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Right, exactly, exactly, So.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Are you done with your carving? I mean, are they
all ready for Halloween? Yes?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yes, everyone is done.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
And what kind of faces do we have?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
We've got a couple of smiley faces. One I'm pretty
sure I just gave up the hole in it.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
There's always that one.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, we have.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
One ghost face first scream and that was probably the
best one.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I was going to say, do you have a contest,
because that might that might upset the one that just.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Made the whole unless they don't care. Yeah, and I
think he had.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
He had some some big ideas, but they didn't.
