00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Monday morning already here in Boston, and away we go

4
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.039
<v Speaker 2>under clear skies. It is a very cold thirty eight

5
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.559
<v Speaker 2>degrees here in the city. The News at six has

6
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:23.719
<v Speaker 2>brought to us by You're New England Toyota Dealer, your

8
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm Jeff Brown. Shivermy timbers chilly today with sunshine and

9
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 2>some clowns. We'll have highs of fifty one to fifty

10
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.399
<v Speaker 2>five out is WBZ achi weather meteorologist Heather's are another

11
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.119
<v Speaker 2>week of no rain too, could be near eighty and

12
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:45.159
<v Speaker 2>record warmth on Halloween. It also stinks outside along much

13
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.119
<v Speaker 2>of the shoreline. This morning. Winds from the north is

14
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.880
<v Speaker 2>sending smoke from Salem's brush fire through many communities.

15
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Bowing smoke is seeping under the woods. In South Salem.

16
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>It smells like you've stuck your face above a campfire.

17
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 1>The brush fire here is torched eighty acres so far,

18
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 1>putting the shopping plaza under a sheet of gray smoke.

19
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Salem Fire Chief Allen Dion says is firefighters have to

20
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:06.879
<v Speaker 1>work all night to get a handle on this thing.

21
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.280
<v Speaker 3>Most of it is contained in the areas that have

22
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 3>already burned out.

23
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.359
<v Speaker 1>No one's been hurt and no structures were damaged, but

24
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>there's plenty of drifting smoke. Luckily, the chief doesn't think

25
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.359
<v Speaker 1>that'll affect festivities downtown or one of Salem's busiest weekends

26
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>of the year. But this thing may stick around.

27
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 3>There's still a lot of fuel here to burn, but

28
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:25.200
<v Speaker 3>it is kind of in a contained area.

29
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.519
<v Speaker 1>But it won't be out ill smolder for a long time.

30
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Shaffle to be busy Boston's news radio.

31
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Fire officials on the North Shore will gather for a

32
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:35.560
<v Speaker 2>strategy session a little bit later this morning. The National

33
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Guard has also been called in to assist with helicopters.

34
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>It is one of several brush fires still burning in

35
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.560
<v Speaker 2>much of eastern Massachusetts this morning. It is one of

36
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 2>the driest octobers in this section of the country, and

37
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.799
<v Speaker 2>the driest fall season across much of the United States.

38
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 2>More than three quarters of the entire country is considered

39
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 2>abnormally dry. That is, according to the US Drought Monitor.

40
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 2>While farmers are on edge, our dinner plates are likely

41
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>to still be full in the coming weeks and months.

42
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.640
<v Speaker 2>It is, of course, harvest season, and no substantial rain

43
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 2>is expected in the coming weeks for much of the

44
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.800
<v Speaker 2>nation's farmland. Now, the good news is growing season this

45
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>spring and summer was just fine, and what's coming from

46
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.159
<v Speaker 2>the field should not have a negative impact in our

47
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 2>kitchens in the near future. The USDA, in fact, says

48
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>some crops have seen record outputs this year. It is

49
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 2>increasingly tougher to make ends meet. A new survey finds

50
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.479
<v Speaker 2>one fifth of families making at least one hundred and

51
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.719
<v Speaker 2>fifty thousand dollars a year our living paycheck to paycheck.

52
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.919
<v Speaker 2>The survey from Bank of America, with its latest snapshot

53
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.479
<v Speaker 2>of our bank accounts and our spending habits, mortgage payments,

54
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>childcare and utility bills are taking the biggest bite of

55
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 2>our annual pie. Celtics return to the garden Tonight's still

56
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.199
<v Speaker 2>perfect on the year. Their toughest job yet awaits, though,

57
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 2>and the Milwaukee Bucks are in town. Ruins are off

58
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 2>till tomorrow. In Game three of the World Series Tonight

59
00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 2>live from New York's, the Dodgers are up two games

60
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.280
<v Speaker 2>to none over the Yankees. After the late game drama

61
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 2>over the weekend at Dodgers Stadium. Sho he Otani was

62
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 2>injured in one of those games. He is expected to

63
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 2>play tonight. And twenty years ago this morning, Red Sox

64
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:14.960
<v Speaker 2>fans were in disbelieve.

65
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.439
<v Speaker 1>Back to full Red Sox fans have wonder head. The

66
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Boston Red Sox our world.

67
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Simpiods still get chills listening to that. The Red Sox finally,

68
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>of course, reversed the curse with a World Series win

69
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>in a sweep over the Saint Louis Cardinals WBZ s

70
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 2>Drew mo'holland is here with a trip down memory lane.

71
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:35.960
<v Speaker 4>Morning Drew, Morning, jeffy eighty six years or wait till

72
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.159
<v Speaker 4>next year? I got washed away with that. The Socks

73
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:41.120
<v Speaker 4>have won three more titles since nice moment last night. Jeff,

74
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 4>Jason Veritek, and Derek Lowe of course part of that team.

75
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:45.960
<v Speaker 4>Toasting the late Tim and Stacy Wakefield.

76
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 5>We toast our dear friends and what they meant to us.

77
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.319
<v Speaker 2>Both Tim and Stacy. We love them, we missed them,

78
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.080
<v Speaker 2>we mess some, and we neither one of us would

79
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:56.840
<v Speaker 2>be here without them.

80
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 4>The Wakefields, of course, both died of cancer over the

81
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.199
<v Speaker 4>last year. Jeff a nice moment last night.

82
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.319
<v Speaker 2>There this great stuff, all right, truth, thank you the

83
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>same this week as we get started on a brand

84
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.159
<v Speaker 2>new work week here in Boston, under clear skies, we've

85
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.360
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of thirties on the board, primarily throughout

86
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.400
<v Speaker 2>the eastern portion of Massachusetts. This morning, the wind is

87
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 2>died down. That's helping the efforts in some of the

88
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 2>frush fires throughout the eastern portion of this state. We

89
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:22.920
<v Speaker 2>are at thirty eight degrees right now in Boston, plenty

90
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:26.319
<v Speaker 2>of sunshine today, Highs only in the lower fifties, so

91
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 2>it is going to be one of the coldest days

92
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.319
<v Speaker 2>of this recent stretch. But there's no significant rain and

93
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 2>certainly no real rainfall at any time in the not

94
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 2>too distant future. In fact, we are going to get

95
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>back into business and it's going to feel like late summer.

96
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:41.439
<v Speaker 2>A little bit later on this week, just in time

97
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.639
<v Speaker 2>for Halloween, we could see temperatures approaching eighty degrees, which

98
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 2>would be near a record high temperature as the kids

99
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.160
<v Speaker 2>get ready to go door to door this Thursday night.

100
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.279
<v Speaker 2>It's going to continue to be warm as we head

101
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 2>into the upcoming weekend as well, But right now we're

102
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 2>starting slow and We're starting cold thirty eight clear skies

103
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.839
<v Speaker 2>in Boston this Monday morning, six oh six daylight is

104
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.920
<v Speaker 2>living on borrowed time. A long weekend does a wait,

105
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>but not a lot of us are happy with the

106
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.279
<v Speaker 2>upcoming changing of the clocks. We do gain an hour

107
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 2>of sleep this weekend, but it's the end of an

108
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:13.079
<v Speaker 2>annual era.

109
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:16.560
<v Speaker 5>Daylight saving time officially in Sunday morning, November third, at

110
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.240
<v Speaker 5>two am. Not only are we going to gain that

111
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.560
<v Speaker 5>extra hour of sleep, health experts say the fallback is

112
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.560
<v Speaker 5>typically a little easier to deal with in the spring

113
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 5>forward that we do in March, and it will be

114
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.079
<v Speaker 5>lighter out earlier in the morning. That's great for those

115
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 5>school kids catching an early bus. The downside, well, it

116
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 5>will start to get dark late in the afternoon, so

117
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 5>that could mean leaving work in the darks. Same goes

118
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 5>for a late day walk or outdoor exercise. Sherry Small

120
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.839
<v Speaker 2>As election season winds down, a new survey finds almost

121
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:51.680
<v Speaker 2>half of American voters lack faith in the nation's democracy.

122
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.199
<v Speaker 2>The New York Times Siena College poll reveals forty five

123
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.639
<v Speaker 2>percent believe democracy does not do a good job representing

124
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:02.480
<v Speaker 2>ordinary people, three quarters say they feel democracy is under threat.

125
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.480
<v Speaker 2>In what's considered an improvement over polls from just a

126
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.560
<v Speaker 2>couple of years ago. Most say the nation's financial and

127
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:12.199
<v Speaker 2>political systems do need a major overhaul, but an overwhelming

128
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.600
<v Speaker 2>majority we're talking eighty percent also say the results of

129
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:20.360
<v Speaker 2>the upcoming presidential election will be accurate. And things get

130
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:23.480
<v Speaker 2>a little crazy at a Looklike contest in New York City.

131
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 3>Actor Timothy shallow May surprised the crowd in Washington Square

<v Speaker 3>Park when he showed up in person, greeted fans, and

133
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.040
<v Speaker 3>posed for photos with dozens of doppelgangers dressed up like

134
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:38.319
<v Speaker 3>his characters from Doune and Willie Wonka. Police shut down

135
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.279
<v Speaker 3>the party and handed the organizers a five hundred dollars

136
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:45.040
<v Speaker 3>fine for an unpermitted costume contest. One fan in our

137
