Our top story this week is a special 3-part report on the big competition for the Drive Safe Chicago PSA Contest. The report and the contest are sponsored by the National Road Safety Foundation.

In part one we travel to Pewaukee, WI to meet Texas, one of three finalists as he works on his idea for a PSA about passenger empowerment.

In part two of our special report, we meet two more finalists in Fort Wayne, IN. Not only are Riley and Carlyale both from he same town, they go to the same school, the Anthis Career Center. Once again we go behind the scenes as they each work on their PSAs.

Then in part three, we find out how each of the three finalists placed and we’ll show you the three finished PSAs.

There’s an entire history lesson in a state flag… you just need to know what to look for. In this week’s Flag Facts, Harry tells us what to look for in Tennessee’s state flag.

If you have a passion for fashion, this next report is especially for you. In this installment of Katarina’s series Art History 101: A Brush With Fashion we learn about Arte Povera and see fashion designs inspired by asphalt!

The staff at Teen Kids News has lost a longtime and dear friend this past week.Ernie Anastos was an award-winning newscaster who worked with TKN’s executive producer while they both were at Channel 7 Eyewitness News in New York City.Famous for his always upbeat, positive attitude, viewers not only liked Ernie, they trusted him. His sincerity was real.Over the years, many of us worked with Ernie to create wonderful – and wonderfully creative - TV programs. A truly good person who went out of his way to help others, Ernie was always willing to lend his name and his talent to a worthy cause.When we produced the NY Easter Seal Telethon, Ernie was one of our hosts. Telethons are some of the most difficult TV programs to produce. They run non-stop for hours. And they can be grueling, especially for those who are on-camera for much of that time.Ernie was perfect. He handled the pressures of marathon live television with a smile, humor and good grace.Thanks to his participation, the telethon exceeded its fund-raising goals, enabling Easter Seals to help many more people across the NY metro area. Recently, Ernie invited our anchor, Lylah and our reporter, Ava and our Executive Producer, Alan Weiss, to be guests on his podcast. It was a privilege to work with Ernie Anastos And an honor to have him as a friend.He will be missed.#ernieanastos #positivelyernie ... See MoreSee Less
