COY WIRE, CNN 10 ANCHOR: What's up, sunshine? Happy Friday. I'm Coy Wire here with your 10 minutes of news. And today we've got two monster storms in the Pacific a painter whose influence is still growing more than a century later, a battle over the news horses moving at warp speed and somebody walking 300 feet above the ground without a harness Friday apparently woke up and chose chaos 10 minutes big world. Let's rise up.

I hope this morning you are able to tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen to pour yourself a cup of ambition. It is Dolly day. It's one month since Dolly Parton's passing. It's also a date for those looking to honor her legacy September 25 or 9-25 a clever nod to one of Dolly's biggest hits.

Listen to this:

WIRE: What started as a meme after her passing has become a reality. California signed Dolly Parton Day into law. But the best part this day will now forever keep Dolly's famous philanthropic spirit alive making sure it isn't just all talking and no giving.

Dolly's Imagination Library which sends millions of free books to kids around the world every month has already seen a surge in donations and volunteers. The Dollywood Foundation has declared today give like Dolly Day encouraging folks to support children's literacy. If you want to give back today in honor of Dolly even just a small act of kindness will do like Dolly once said, "If you see someone without a smile, give them yours."

Now to some news involving the news U.S. President Donald Trump recently banned reporters from "CNN," "MSNOW" and "POLITICO" from the White House saying their reporting included false info with White House officials arguing some coverage created national security concerns. In response, other major news organizations stood by their peers who were banned saying, if you won't let them report the news from the White House, we won't report it either.

"FOX News," "ABC News," "CBS News," "NBC News," and "CNN" said in a joint statement, the public has a vital interest in receiving accurate independent information about its government. No administration should restrict a news organization because it objects to its reporting.

Earlier this week, the three banned news organizations sued the Trump administration, arguing the government cannot revoke their access because it dislikes their reporting. Constitutional experts say the move violates the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

Early Thursday, a federal judge temporarily blocked the ban ordering White House officials to immediately restore the outlet's credentials for 14 days. As of this taping, White House officials said all press credentials have been reactivated.

Disputes like this aren't new, in 2009, the Obama administration attempted to exclude "FOX News" from a group of network interviews, but other networks including "CNN" objected and the administration reversed course.

This story is still developing and there are surely more legal fights to come. The White House says this is about holding news organizations accountable. The news outlets say it's about protecting an independent press. For now access has been ordered restored while the larger constitutional case continues.

Now to the Pacific where tropical storm Nolo has Hawaii watching very closely, a hurricane watch is in effect for Hawaii County as Nolo churns south of the Big Island. Forecasters expect it to strengthen into a hurricane and potentially a major hurricane this weekend. Its exact track still matters enormously. But the Big Island could face damaging winds, dangerous surf, heavy rainfall and the possibility of flash flooding and mudslides.

So, if you're watching us in Hawaii, you know the drill. Know your forecast, know your plan and listen to local officials because with hurricanes, a few miles of movement can make a big difference.

Farther east in the Pacific, Mexico is bracing for impact from Hurricane Polo, which has been an absolute monster. Polo exploded into a rare category five hurricane this week with winds reaching as high as 180 miles per hour.

As of this taping, it had weakened to a cat four. Polo is being fueled by potentially warmer water during a strong El Nino. And even while its center remains offshore, its outer bands can still bring torrential rain, flash flooding, mudslides, dangerous surf and storm surge to parts of Mexico's coast.

Pop quiz hotshot.

Which everyday object became artist Paul Cezanne's most recognizable subjects?

Bread, playing cards, forks or apples?

If you said apples, you're right. I mean, right. Cezanne loved to paint apples because he could experiment with shape, color, light and perspective. He wanted to show how an object occupies space, which helped inspire more modern art techniques and eventually cubism.

A ginormous new exhibition opened this week at Paris's Grand Palais. It focuses on the legacy of French artist Paul Cezanne. And more than a century after he painted his famous apples, artists are still like picking from that tree.

It's called Cezanne and Us. And it brings together about 180 different works, including about 70 by Cezanne himself, alongside art from generations of creators he influenced. We're talking Picasso, Matisse, all the way to contemporary artists.

Cezanne is regarded as one of the most influential figures in modern Western art. He helped open the door to movements like cubism and abstraction. Exhibition, it's going to go until January.

Wow, that a guy painted some apples and a century later, people are still like, I see what you did there.

Next up, it's been called one of America's original extreme sports. Imagine racing a horse full speed, then after each lap leaping off onto another horse, no pit stop crew, just Pony Express meets NASCAR. It's called Indian Relay Racing, a Native American equestrian tradition where teams combine incredible horsemanship, speed, timing and courage.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

WIRE: This is called Indian Relay, and it's one of America's first extreme sports.

KEN REAL BIRD, INDIAN RELAY ANNOUNCER: This is full speed. You're going full block. That nerve is running close to about 30-40 miles an hour.

WIRE (voice-over): The race is three laps around a half mile track. After each lap, the rider jumps off a horse bareback onto another as their team catches one and releases the next. It requires the precision of a NASCAR pit stop in the athleticism of a gymnast on a vault. Native Americans started competing in this sport more than a century ago.

TRISTAN BIRDINGROUND, RIDER, BIRDINGROUND RELAY: I ride for a boarding ground relay. It's exciting and dangerous. I talk to my horses around the track saying, give me around the track safely.

TIM BIRDINGROUND, SETUP, BIRDINGROUND RELAY: My baby. What's hard about it is taking care of the horses. Everybody got their full-time jobs. It's hard work, waking up early, coming back in the evening, going to bed and doing it again tomorrow.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Why keep doing it?

TIM BIRDINGROUND: Just because of the love of the horse.

TRISTAN BIRDINGROUND: That feeling too when you win a race, it feels good, you know, that all that hard work paid off.

WIRE (voice-over): There are cash prizes too, and winners can go on to compete in the annual Indian Relay Championship.

REAL BIRD: This is something that we take great pride in to know our own methods of horsemanship. And this is what Indian really brings back to the Indian nation.

WIRE: Today's story getting a 10 out of 10. It's a bird. It's a plane. No, that's a human walking through the sky. French tightrope artist Tatiana-Mosio Bongonga performed a 300-foot walk above Europe's tallest slag heaps or piles of mining waste on a wire without a safety harness. Thousands of people watched. Bongonga said it was in honor of the Loos-en-Gohelle region's mining town history.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TATIANA-MOSIO BONGONGA, FRENCH TIGHTROPE ACROBAT: These two slag heaps are here. And when we saw them, we had the desire to bridge them together. That was really the starting idea. These beautiful things exist, and we want to make more out of them.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

WIRE: That woman doesn't walk a tightrope. She has business meetings with gravity, and apparently she's the boss.

Before we go, shout out time. This one goes to Miss Zaman. Zaman is amazing. At Midview East School in Grafton, Ohio, they sent us this collection of their favorite episodes in art form. This is CNN 10. So, special. Going on our wall of friends. Thank you so much.

And this next shout out goes to Miss Rylander and all of our lions at Lincoln Middle School in Alameda, California. I see you, Marley. Hope you and all of us can finish this Fri-yay with a roar.

Play that Friday music, Nadir. Let your light shine this weekend. Be kind. Make someone smile because you never know when or how, but you may be the spark of joy someone needs.

I'm Coy Wire. This is CNN 10. You are more powerful than you know.
