The federal government reports that the number of deaths, in this country, from drug overdoses – associated with drug addiction – is now higher that the number of people killed in car crashes and shootings. But – Pittsburgh is part of a pilot project by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) that could provide a more effective response, to this public health emergency.

We’ll talk with David Hickton – United States Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania – and Gary Tuggle – Special Agent-in-Charge, for the DEA’s Philadelphia Division – about “Strategy 360” – and how it will address the growing, national problem of drug overdoses – which begin with usage of everything from prescribed painkillers – to heroin.

Please join Ken Rice and John Allison, for this important broadcast – Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m., on the “KD/PG Sunday Edition” (right after “CBS Sunday Morning” and “Face the Nation”) – on KDKA-TV.

On this week’s broadcast – more uncertainty on Wall Street – after the Federal Reserve expresses “caution” about the overall strength of the U.S. economy and indicates that it could cut back on the number of interest rate hikes, originally intended, for 2016. We’ll ask Aaron A. Leaman, CFA – Principal – and Chief Investment Officer for Signature Financial Planning – for his analysis on where the stock market is headed, and why.

Then, a preview of the 2016 Pittsburgh International Auto Show – which takes place at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center – next month. John Putzier – Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Pittsburgh Automobile Dealers Association – and Lisa Mason Eck – Director of Charitable Events, for the organization – will tell you why this show is so much more than just cars and trucks – and how its “Red Carpet Premiere” on February 11th will help the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Association’s own, non-profit causes.

Finally, the uplifting story of efforts by the University of Pittsburgh – to preserve the musical legacy of Pittsburgh-born composer and piano virtuoso – Erroll Garner – best-known, for his composition – “Misty”. Garner died in 1977 – but his personal manager and estate preserved his memorabilia – which has been donated to Pitt’s library system. Ed Galloway – head of the university’s Archives Service Center – and Pitt doctoral student Jeff Weston – join us, for some perspective, on the musical genius of Erroll Garner – and how this special collection can help scholars, in future generations.

Please join Rick Dayton – Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m. – for “The Sunday Business Page”, on KDKA-TV.

    With all due respect Karen Langley says “umm” every 3 seconds and she speaks in a baby talk voice. I couldn’t even get through it.
    I like what she has to say but it hurts my ears listening to it.
