Layne says another advantage was that jefferso's would deliver mediations to your home free of charge which was helpful to her at times when she didnt have transportation.

Pharmacist mark mula of mula family pharmacy in abbeville is also a mom and pop shop.

Graphic - mula says "i's a shame that jefferso's had to close, people really need thier medication and i know little, family owned drug stores and pharmacies like ourselves really help people out especially when w're able to deliver to those who ca't get to us all the time like the elderly."layne says she found out about jefferso's closing from a neighbor so she called the drug store and heard this message.

Tonight: 68 partly cloudy tomorrow: 87 partly cloudy monday: low: 69 high: 84, storms/afternoon cold frontif you have been holding out on all things pumpkin spice well this week will be the perfect week to get your "fall" on.

Tomorrow will be our last day in the 8's with partly cloudy conditions.

Overall, a very nice end to the weekend.

As we go into monday we will be waking up to temperatures in the upper 6's and warm nicely into the middle 8's.

A cold front will be moving into acadiana from the nw and bring the chance of storms and should cool us down into the 6's and 7's.

If the front moves through sooner expect highs to possibly be in the upper 7's or lower 8's.

This will be our first real cooldown in a while and overnight lows monday night will get into the middle 5's with highs in the lower to middle 7's expected tuesday with upper 7's continuing through next weekend.

Sunshine will remain abundant during this period so do't expect much in the way of rain.more good news!

The tropics are expected to remain quiet for now so nothing is of concern at the moment.

3 now more than 95-hundred lafayette parish registered voters have asked for mail-in ballots for the november 3-rd presidential election, thats double the number who requested mail-in ballots for the july closed primary election.now louisiana is not a state where they mail early voting ballots to every registered voter, so if you want to vote in the november 3-rd election but cannot get to the polls in person or do not want to because of the covid-19 pandemic, you must request a mail-in ballot by 4:30 p-m on october 30-th and it must be in the hands of the registrar of voters by 4:30 p-m november 2-nd, the day before the election.

3 to get people ready for the poll today the women of wisdom conducted a voter registration drive at the juliet hotel in downtown lafayette.at the drive, participants were able to fill out a voter registration form and sign it.

Making sure people are ready to go before the october 5th deadline to register to vote.

0:10"this gives you an opportunity.

We can check to see if the voters are in fact registered, and if the're not, we have everything that we need to get them registered."

The organization has one more voter registration drive on october 3-rd at valerie garrett law office located on north pierce street.

Also today -- the lafayette warrant clinic had an event where people who have warrants in traffic and misdemeanor court charges can have that warrant lifted free of charge and without the fear of arrest.

They were given a new court date where they can start over to handle their affairs.g-r-a-e partnered with the 15th judicial district court to host this event and give people another chance.

0:25"instead of just complaining about it or pointing the finger at a system, we decided to be creative and come up with a partnership where everyone can win.""they should't fear being arrested.

Vote is an organization that is ran by, led by formally incarcerated people.

We are not in the business of having people arrested."

Because of the pandemic, the organization decided to do a drive through court where people do not have to leave their cars to attend court.

They drive up and the judges, d-a, and public defenders can be on screen.

Today is national car seat check saturday.and the taskforce is working with people in the community to make sure the car seats that they are using are installed correctly.

Seats are also being distributed to people that are in need.safety checks include, making sure the vehicl's car seats are installed correctly, all harness straps are appropriate for the chil's height, and most importantly that the seat is facing the correct direction depending on the chil's age weight and height according to the louisiana state law.

0:24in the state of louisiana about 9 out of 10 people use car seats incorrectly and maybe about 8 out of 10 in the whole country and motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death of children, so we have to make sure that all children that we have the opportunity to work with are riding safely and correctly in the event that there should be a crash we can be proud of the fact that they would most likely walk away uninjured or minor injuries.

It was put on by the group "my block, my hood, my city."

Organizers called for justice for taylor, who died in march after police officers with a no-knock warrant broke down her door.

Tonight... from the natio's top infectious disease expert...a warning... if we do't carefully follow the guidelines ... we may see another surge again... some forecasts for the entire country...even more dire.

"i's going to be an accelerating epidemic" a model out of the university of washington projects by the end of the year... the natio's daily death rate will quadruple... to a staggering 3,059 deaths a day.

As fall and winter comes every respiratory virus that we know of gets transmitted more because people go indoors and we also see in teh data that people are being less careful.

In california which now has the most cases in the country... coronavirus hospitalizations yet again on the rise.

Officials project the'll go up roughly 89% over the next month.

In florida on friday... despite roughly 700,000 cases and the death toll topping 14,000..

Hotels... bars... and restaurants reopened... with no restrictions.i hope everything comes back to normal.

With clusters of cases in brooklyn and queens ... health officials there facing pushback ...amidst warnings those areas are days away from reimposing restrictions.
