Well as we mention the pope francis ended his journey here in philadelphia yesterday and tonight mayor Michael Nutter is calling the visit a big success. But some Business Owners had a different story for action News Reporter david henry. Hes live at the Philadelphia City hall. David. Reporter yeah, hi, sharrie. Mayor Michael Nutter has declared the popes visit over the weekend a tremendous success and by most measures it was but it appears that far fewer people than expected attended and businesses have been grumbling that the heavy security measures have kept people away. It wasnt about how many people are going to come, it was about the success of the events. The event itself was successful. Reporter those who did make it through security after hours waiting in line by all accounts had a tremendous experience. Many never made it in. The crowd appeared to be much smaller than the one to one and a half million the city predicted. City residents fled town and many from the suburbs decided to skip it blaming the tight security restrictions. But the mayor blamed the media. I think the reporting on any number of aspects of this was detrimental to the mindset of many philadelphians and others. I think that in some instances you all scared the bleep . Reporter Public Officials set the tone warning people they would walk long distances and new jersey officials all but urging people to stay away. Those were not our finest moments in all of this and that is certainly the governments overall responsibility. We did less business than a normal weekend. Reporter it appears most of the pilgrims brought their own food. We ate what we had with us. We shared a lot of people talked, a lot of people brought food so it was really kind of like large family meals. Reporter some of the smaller restaurants lost regulars but did gain new customers. Something new, something cool, you know, this is something that will go down in history and the pope chose here to come see everyone so it was a really neat experience. Reporter now, to be sure a lot of people had a great time over the weekend and one thing we have heard above all else is praise for the Philadelphia Police department and its officers who many described as courteous, cordial and very helpful over the weekend. Live in city hall, david henry, channel6 action news. Rick. They did a great job. Thank you, david. Nasa Scientists Say it appears mars is home to flowing water. Before it was thought there was only frozen water on mars. Now nasa researchers say theres evidence salt water flows down in the summertime.

Tonight in health check after a successful papal weekend the medical tents are down and volunteers are getting back to their day jobs. Overall the American Red Cross says things went well over the weekend and Health Reporter and registered nurse ali gorman joins us from the big board with more on that. Hi, ali. Hi, guys. There were 10 medical tents set up around the city. We now know about 400 people were seen at those medical tents for everything from bandaids for scrapes to more serious problems. There were nearly 130 people transported from the events to local hospitals for care throughout the weekend. Now, of course many agencies were working together, the American Red Cross had about 600 volunteers this weekend, about 100 were nurses. Other medical staff included the fire department, ems and paramedics, many volunteered their time and many say the weekend was a success and it was also good training in case there is ever a disaster. In other news today, theres more evidence that a genetic test can help some Breast Cancer patients safely make the decision to skip chemotherapy. The test called onco type dx looks at the genetics of a tumor and determines the risk for recurrence. A new study out shows that out of the women who had a low risk or skipped chemo less than 1 percent had a recurrence of Breast Cancer. Also today, we have some new advice on treating kids with concussions. Now, weve all heard rest is best and kids should rest both their body and their mind meaning many are told to avoid Television Digital devices an lot of schoolwork. But studies have now shown too much mental rest can lead to prolonged symptoms. Experts now say allow kids to use their devices and watch tv but in small doses. If they get a headache or other symptoms, then back off. You give them an exposure that doesnt worsen their symptoms. And i think that its much more beneficial to do that than to allow them to be completely shut off from these activities. The doctor also says a few days off school can be helpful but keeping kids home for a prolonged period of time isnt good for their recovery. So he says that a slow progression of mental activities is whats best. As for physical, kids should not return to sports until they are fully recovered and cleared by their healthcare provider. Sharrie and rick, back over to you. Okay. Thanks, ali. The philadelphia 76ers of course are getting ready for a new season and they are getting fans pumped with a new message.
