DARLENE MARCO SHILEY AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU THANK YOU.

>>> THE SUPREME COURT TOOK UP THE CASE TODAY THAT COULD HAVE MAJOR IMPLICATIONS FOR SAN DIEGO'S HOMELESSNESS CRISIS.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

JUSTICE ARE HEARING ARGUMENTS ABOUT WHETHER IN OREGON CITY TICKETING OF HOMELESS PEOPLE VILEST ASPECT VIOLATES THEIR RIGHTS EXPANDS CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT.

THIS IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT APPEAL INVOLVING UNHOUSED AMERICANS TO REACH IN DECADES AND A GROUP OF SAN DIEGO'S WERE OUTSIDE FEDERAL COURT TO SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE TO THE JUSTICES.

>> JAIL IS NOT THE ANSWER.

>> Reporter: THEIR MESSAGE CARRIED THROUGH SIDES INVOICES WE NEED HOUSING NOT HANDCUFFS.

>> HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS -- MARTHA SULLIVAN WITH THE HOUSING EMERGENCY ALLIANCE ORGANIZED THIS PROTEST.

SEVERAL OF THE PEOPLE DEMONSTRATING HAVE EXPERIENCE LIVING ON THE STREETS AND THEY JOINED OTHERS IN CITIES ACROSS THE U.S. TODAY DEMANDING THE SUPREME COURT IN THEIR WORDS "PROTECT THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF UNHOUSED PEOPLE WITH NO PLACE TO GO."

THIS CASE HAS ITS ORIGINS MORE THAN 800 MILES NORTH OF SAN DIEGO IN GRANTS PASS OR OREGON.

THIS BEGAN IN 2018 13 HOMELESS PEOPLE SUED GRANTS PASS.

THEY SAID POLICE WERE FINING THEM AND JAILING THEM EVEN WHEN THERE WAS NO SHELTER SPACE AVAILABLE.

THEY SAID THE CITY WAS PUNISHING THEM UNCONSTITUTIONALLY BASED ON THE STATUS OF BEING INVOLUNTARILY HOMELESS.

THE CASE MADE ITS WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT AFTER THE NINTH CIRCUIT APPEALS COURT RULED IN THE PLAINTIFF'S FAVOR.

>> THE NINTH CIRCUIT OF APPEAL PROVIDED ON BEHALF OF THE PLAINTIFF ALSO KNEW IT WAS CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT.

TO DO SO.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

>> SAN DIEGO HAS ITS OWN BEEN ON CAMPUS IN CERTAIN AREAS LOCAL OFFICIALS ARE WATCHING THIS CASE CLOSELY.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S DISTRICT ATTORNEY SUPPORTS THE CITY OF GRANTS PASS.

THERE IS ANOTHER ASPECT OF THIS ISSUE, THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN RACE AND WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO BECOME HOMELESS.

>> YOU CAN SEE IT VISUALLY ON THE STREETS WHERE NEARLY 30% OF ALL UNHOUSED PEOPLE ARE OF AFRICAN DESCENT YET WE ONLY MAKE UP LESS THAN 5% OF THE COUNTY.

>> YOU SETH MILLER SAYS LEGISLATION IS NEEDED THAT INSTEAD OF GOING AFTER PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO LIVE INSTEAD THEY TARGET THE POVERTY THAT GOT THEM THERE.

>> WE ARE OVER POLICE AND OVER ARRESTED.

THE ONLY THING THAT WILL HELP THE UNHOUSED IS HOUSING.

>> A DECISION FROM THE SUPREME COURT IS EXPECTED SOMETIME LATER THIS SUMMER I LANDMARK CASE OF A SMALL TOWN THAT WILL HAVE NATIONAL IMPLICATIONS FOR YEARS TO COME NO MATTER WHAT WAY IT GOES.

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.

>> THE STORM AND FLOODING OF JANUARY 2nd HAPPENED THREE MONTHS AGO TODAY SINCE FEMA LEFT SAN DIEGO LAST WEEK THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION HAS CONTINUED ITS EFFORTS FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS BY SETTING UP DISASTER OUTREACH CENTERS AND HAS ASSUMED THE PRIMARY ROLE IN DISASTER RELIEF EFFORTS.

THE ORGANIZATION HELPS FLOOD SURVIVORS APPLY FOR HOMES.

WE HAVE A NICE SURPLUS IN MOST.

COMPLETE FORECAST COMING UP SOON.

>>> TODAY IS EARTH DAY AND IT WAS CELEBRATED ALL AROUND THE REGION.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY HELD IS EARTH DAY FAIR WHERE MANY GROUPS SHARED ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES.

OUR CORRESPONDENT WAS THERE.

>> Reporter: THE COUNTY OPERATIONS CENTER BECAME VILLAGE OF TENTS DISPLAYING FREE STUFF AND GIVING AWAY ITEMS ALL TRYING TO EXPRESS WHAT EARTH DAY MET FOR THEM.

>> IT'S ALL ABOUT COMMUNITY COMING TOGETHER AND FIGURING OUT WHAT WE CAN DO THIS ON OUR SHARED PRIORITIES FOR CLIMATE ACTION.

>> Reporter: CLIMATE ACTION GROUPS WERE THEY ARE AND ALSO KIND -- THE GOAL OF THE MULTIPLE SPECIES CONFRONTATION PROGRAM OR MS CP.

BETHANY PRINCIPE IS THE PROGRAM COORDINATOR.

THEY HAVE A LIST OF SPECIES THAT NEED LAND TO LIVE ON AND TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION.

>> WE HAVE A HORNED LIZARD WHICH ARE THE REPTILES.

WE HAVE AMPHIBIANS.

HAVE SHRIMP WHICH ARE INVERTEBRATES AND WE ALSO HAVE MOUNTAIN LION AND MULE DEER WHICH ARE MAMMALS.

>> Reporter: PRESERVING LAND AND HABITAT MEANS ACQUIRING LAND WHICH MEANS MONEY FROM SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND FROM PARTNERSHIPS.

THE PRESERVATION PLAN HAS BEEN ADOPTED FOR SOUTH COUNTY.

>> IN OUR MS CP PRESERVE SYSTEM WHICH INCLUDES FEDERAL AND STATE PARTNER LANDS, COUNTY LAND AND PRIVATE MITIGATION THAT WILL BE ABOUT 90 THOUSAND ACRES AND RIGHT NOW WE ARE AT 80,000 ACRES WHICH IS ABOUT 82% OF OUR PRESERVATION.

>> NORTH AND EAST COUNTY ARE YET TO COME.

A FEW STEPS AWAY FROM LAND PRESERVATION THE SAN DIEGO ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS WAS PROMOTING BIKE ANYWHERE DAY TO GET PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR CARBON EMITTING CARS.

ERIKA SORRY IS A CONSULTANT IN SAN DIEGO'S TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.

BIKE ANYWHERE DAY IS MAY 16th, WHEN PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO BIKE WHEREVER THEY WANT.

>> IT COULD BE TO YOUR LOCAL COFFEE SHOP OR TO THE PARK OR TO THE SCHOOL.

>> THE ANNUAL EVENT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES AND USED TO BE CALLED BIKE TO WORK DAY.

>> DURING THE PANDEMIC AS WE KNOW MANY THINGS CHANGE.

SOME PEOPLE ARE WORKING COMPLETELY FROM HOME.

>> SO DON'T BIKE TO WORK JUST BIKE ANYWHERE.

THOMAS FUDGE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> I'M JEFF BENNETT AND TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, OPENING STATEMENTS BEGIN IN THE CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AT 7:00 AFTER EVENING EDITION ON KPBS.

>>> THE CROWD SOURCED ONLINE HISTORICAL MARKER DATABASE HAS 375 ENTRIES FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

MOST CHRONICLE SPANISH COLONIAL EARLY AMERICAN SETTLER AND U.S. MILITARY PASS, BUT JUST A HAND FILL -- HANDFUL MENTION NATIVE AMERICANS IN THE AREA.

KPBS'S AMITA SHARMA LOOKS AT WHAT LIFE IS LIKE ONCE HERE.

>> Reporter: THE TRANQUILITY ON A RECENT MORNING BELIES THE NEGATIVE FROM OREGON -- NATIVE AMERICAN VIOLENT AND.

HE WAS CONVICTED OF MURDER, SETH AND TREASON IN JANUARY 1852 AND SOON AFTER -- >> THEY TOOK THEM OUT BLINDFOLDED AND AT -- >> Reporter: PRESIDENT OF THIS -- IS STANDING NEXT TO THE FINAL RESTING PLACE INSIDE EL CAMPO SANCHO SANCTUARY IN OLD TOWN SAN DIEGO.

A HISTORICAL MARKER.

HE DESCRIBES WHAT CAME NEXT.

>> THEY WALKED HIM UP THE STREET TO THIS GRAVE, HAD HIM GO ON HIS KNEES, HIS HANDS WERE TIED BEHIND HIS BACK AND HE SAID I WISH YOU APOLOGIZE FOR THE THINGS I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST AND I WAIT TO HEAR THE SAME FROM YOU.

HE DID NOT HEAR IT.

THEY SHOT HIM.

SO THEN HE WAS BURIED.

>> Reporter: THE EXECUTION IS A SNAPSHOT OF THE CRUELTY AND INJUSTICE LOCAL TRIBES AND DORT.

FIRST UNDER THE SPANIARDS WHO CAME TO STAY IN 1769 AND STARTED THE SAN DIEGO PRESIDIO.

THE TRIBES WERE FORCIBLY CONVERTED AND FAMILIES WERE SPLIT AND TURNED INTO SERVANTS.

RODRIGUEZ SAID THE AMERICANS CONTINUED THE BRUTALITY, THE FIRST GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, PETE BURNETT, ISSUED BOUNTIES ON THE HEADS OF NATIVE AMERICANS.

>> $.50 FOR A CHILD, $2.50 FOR A WOMAN, FIVE DOLLARS FOR MEN.

WITHIN 20 YEARS THE NUMBERS HAD DROPPED BY 80%.

>> Reporter: BEFORE THE INVASIONS THE TRIBES LIVED HERE FOR A MILLENNIA OR SINCE TIME IN MEMORIAL AS RODRIGUEZ PUTS IT.

>> WE SEE THIS PLACE AS OLD TOWN BUT VERY FEW PEOPLE REALIZE THERE WAS A VERY LARGE VILLAGE HERE AND THERE WERE COMMUNITIES ALL THROUGH SAN DIEGO ALL AROUND ON THE SILVER STRAND IN CORONADO, NATIONAL CITY AND DOWNTOWN.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN ROSE BEFORE THE SUN, THEY WOULD MAKE THULE BOATS TO FISH, THEY WOULD HARVEST SALT, TOREY PINENUTS AND PLANT OAK TREES.

SCAN A HISTORICAL MARKER DATABASE AND THERE IS SCANT MENTION OF THE RICH AND SOPHISTICATED TO ME I HISTORY.

THE DATABASE WAS ASSEMBLED BY THE PUBLIC AND HAS 375 ENTRIES FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

>> CROWDSOURCING IN THOSE KINDS OF SITES ARE A REALLY GOOD REFLECTION OF AMERICAN CULTURE AND HOW WE LOOK AT CULTURES.

>> SAN DIEGO HISTORIAN AND ARCHAEOLOGIST SAYS ACADEMIA IS WORK TO CORRECT THE PERCEPTION THAT HISTORY BEGINS WHEN THE EUROPEANS ARRIVED.

THE DATABASE DOES INCLUDE MARKERS FOR AN OLD NATURAL KITCHEN PICKED -- AND AN ANCIENT VILLAGE POND HANG.

IT OMITS THE TRIBES AT LEAST 4000-YEAR-OLD HISTORY AND WHAT IS TODAY CALLED THE RAMONA GRASSLANDS PRESERVE.

>> THIS IS A KUMYA VILLAGE SITE.

>> Reporter: THE AREA HAD TO SPRINGS.

A FEMALE CREEK AND A MALE ONE.

HE SAYS IF THE KUMYA WOMAN WANTED TO HAVE A SON SHE WOULD DRINK FROM THE MALE SPRING AND VICE VERSA.

THE LAND WAS A MAJOR FOOD SOURCE AND THEY TRADED SHELL BEADS.

>> IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME YOU WOULD SEE HUTS SITTING OUT HERE AND YOU CALL THEM WAU, THAT'S THE KUMYA WORD FOR THEM.

WE WERE IN AN AREA WHERE THEY WERE DOING TOOL MANUFACTURING AND THEY WERE IMPORTING STONE MATERIAL FROM FAR AWAY AS MAMMOTH, COASTAL HOT SPRINGS AND FROM BAJA, CALIFORNIA AND FROM THE SALTON SEA AREA.

>> Reporter: STEVE VANEGAS CHAIR AT THE -- MUSEUM AND HE SAYS LEAVING OUT WHOLE HISTORIES OF ETHNIC GROUPS WHETHER IN DATABASES OR CLASSROOMS ROBS PEOPLE OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHO WE ARE COLLECT TIVOLI AS HUMAN BEINGS.

>> THEY ARE MISSING A BIG CHUNK OF HUMANITY.

A BIG CHUNK OF SPIRITUALITY.

A BIG CHUNK OF TIME >> HE ADDS THE OMISSIONS NOT ONLY DOOM US TO REPEAT HISTORY THAT KEEP US IN THE DARK ABOUT WHO AND WHAT REMAINS.

A SIGN IN THE MUSEUM IS A REMINDER OF THAT MESSAGE AND IT SAYS THAT THE TRIBE IS "STILL HERE."

AMITA SHARMA, KPBS NEWS.

>> AN ISSUE AS PART OF NPR'S SPECIAL WEEK ABOUT HISTORICAL MARKERS.

>>> PRESIDENT BIDEN MARKING EARTH DAY BY UNVEILING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN GRANT MONEY FOR SOLAR ENERGY.

THIS IS A LATEST IN AN ANNOUNCEMENT MADE BY BIDEN IN FEW DAYS.

WE GET A LOOK AT HOW THESE COULD PLAY A FACTOR IN THE 2024 ELECTION.

>> PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN CELEBRATING EARTH DAY BY ANNOUNCING $7 BILLION IN GRANT FUNDING FOR SOLAR POWER.

THE ADMINISTRATION SAID THE MONEY WILL ALLOW NEARLY 1 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS LOW INCOME IN DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES TO BENEFIT FROM SOLAR POWER SAVING MORE THAN 350 MILLION IN ELECTRIC COSTS ANNUALLY AND MORE THAN 8 BILLION OVER THE LIFE OF THE PROGRAM.

>> IT'S A BIG DEAL.

THIS NEW SOLAR FOR ALL PROGRAM -- 900,000 HOUSEHOLDS WILL HAVE SOLAR ON THE ROOFTOP -- >> Reporter: THIS COMES DAYS AFTER HIS ADMINISTRATION BARRED OIL DRILLING.

THIS SETS UP A CLEAR CONTRAST WITH FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.

>> I WILL REPEAL JOE BIDEN'S INSANE ELECTRICAL VEHICLE MANDATES.

>> THERE IS A CLEAR CONTRAST IN THIS RACE.

BIDEN SUPPORTERS HELP HIGHLIGHTING HIS CLIMATE STANCE IS ONE WAY TO REGAIN ENTHUSIASM WITH YOUNG VOTERS WHO WERE A KEY PART OF HIS 2020 WIN.

YOU WILL SEE STARK DIFFERENCES WHEN IT COMES TO COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE BETWEEN THE POLICIES OF PRESIDENT BIDEN AND WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAS DONE IN THE PAST AND WANTS TO DO IN THE FUTURE.

>> IN WASHINGTON I AM MICHAEL YOSHIDA REPORTING.

>> VOLUNTEERS PARTICIPATED IN THE ANNUAL CREEK TO BAY CLEANUP AND ONE OF THE CLEANUP SIDES WAS THE QUARRY CLEANUP WE ARE SHOWN WHY THAT SITE HAS HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE.

>> ARE TRIBE DOES NOT HAVE A RESERVATION BUT WE DO PROTECT OUR CULTURAL SITES HERE.

ONE OF OUR SITES HERE WE SAVE FROM BEING DESTROYED BY DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA.

IT IS A SACRED SITE AND HAS REGISTERED AS SUCH.

>> THEY DIDN'T JUST SURVIVE, THEY THRIVED FOR 10,000 YEARS BEFORE THE EUROPEANS BEGAN SHOWING UP IN THE LATE 18th CENTURY AND THEY FOCUSED OF COURSE ON PLACES WHERE THERE WERE NATURAL SOURCES OF WATER.

A LOT OF THE SITES THAT WERE OUT OF THIS AREA WERE OF COURSE DEVELOPED A LOT OF TIMES CURRENT TRANSPORTATION QUARTERS FOLLOW ANCIENT TRAILS AND THIS IS WHERE THE 78 RUNS WAS A NATURAL MIGRATION ROUTE >> THIS AREA IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO US BECAUSE IT'S A COMBINATION OF NATICK -- NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURAL SITES PLUS ALL OF THE VALUE OF HAVING A NATURAL HABITAT AREA WITH A CREEK THAT LOOKS LIKE THIS.

THESE AREAS DON'T WORK IN ISOLATION SO YOU REALLY NEED TO CARRY ABOUT THE ENTIRE WATERSHED , WHAT IS UPSTREAM ALL THE WAY TO THE COAST BECAUSE WHAT FLOWS THROUGH THIS WATERSHED ULTIMATELY ENDS UP AT THE COAL AND AND WE HAVE A WONDERFUL FUNCTIONING REPAIR AREA HERE AND UNFORTUNATELY IT IS BEING HIGHLY IMPACTED BY LOTS OF TRESPASS ACTIVITY.

CLEANUPS LIKE THIS ARE REALLY CRITICAL.

WHEN WE STARTED WEIGHING STAFF SEVERAL CLEANUPS AGO 5500 POUNDS OF TRASH WAS REMOVED AND 400 POUNDS OF RECYCLABLE ON A ONE MORNING EVENT LIKE THIS.

>> >> Reporter: TRASH IS OBVIOUSLY AN EYESORE FOR THE PUBLIC.

IT ALSO IN A WAY CAN ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TRESPASSING.

THEY SEE SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY TRASHED AND THEY THINK IT'S OKAY SO IN A WAY KEEPING THE TRASH OUT IS A WAY FOR US TO JUST SHOW THEM MY CASE SOMEONE IS WATCHING THIS.

THERE IS LAND STEWARDS THAT CARE ABOUT THIS LAND BUT ON A BIOLOGICAL SENSE, YES, THE TRASH THAT ACCUMULATES BREAKS DOWN.

IT DOESN'T BIODEGRADE BUT IT TAKES DOWN THROUGH PHOTO DEGRADATION.

THERE IS JUST SO MANY ANIMALS -- IF WE JUST WORK TO IGNORE THE TRASH IT'S HARD TO SAY WHETHER OR NOT THE VEGETATION WOULD BE RESILIENT ENOUGH TO PERSIST ON ITS OWN.

THE AREA WE ARE OUT HERE IN POINT AVISTA CREEK, A LITTLE VALLEY, IT IS NEXT TO THEM ARONA ADOBE.

MY FAMILY IS CONNECTED WITH THE NAME ARONA ADOBE.

I USED TO DRIVE BACK HERE IN THE 70s.

MY FATHER USED TO POINT TO THAT TREE THAT WAS LIVING OVER HERE BY THE ADOBES SO THAT'S FOR YOUR GREAT GRANDMOTHER WAS BORN.

A LOT HAS CHANGED AND A LOT HAS STAYED THE SAME AS WE CAN SEE WITH THE CREEK STILL RUNNING HERE.

SO I DO HAVE A PERSONAL CONNECTION TO THIS PLACE AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT I VALUE.

>> WE HAVE SOME MOVING PARTS THIS WEEK WITH NO DRAMATIC CHANGES.

IT IS A DRY WEEK IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WITH THE SEASONS CHANGING.

THE WET SEASON HAS COME TO A CONCLUSION HERE IN SAN DIEGO FOR THE MOST PART.

SLIGHT COOLING TREND MIDWEEK AFTER A VERY WARM WEEKEND.

TONIGHT CLOUDS CREEPING IN METRO AREA FROM THE PACIFIC AND WE GET DOWN TO 59 DEGREES AND TOMORROW 66, THERE COULD BE A SPRINKLE OR TWO NEAR OCEANSIDE BUT MOST OF US WILL STAY DRY AND WE WILL BE UP AROUND 70 IN ESCONDIDO, 90 IN BORREGO SPRINGS AND 56 IN MOUNT LAGUNA.

TUESDAY'S FORECAST AGAIN IT IS A PLEASANT DAY FOR MOST OF US AND WE ARE STILL WARM ACROSS THE INTERIOR DESERT.

WEDNESDAY STILL WARM BUT NOT QUITE AS WARM SO A SLIGHT REDUCTION IN OUR TEMPERATURE IS IN THE CARDS FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

BY THE WAY.

BEYOND ANY ISOLATED DRIZZLE IN NORTHERN PARTS OF OUR COASTLINE YOU CAN SEE LATER THIS WEEK WE WILL DEAL WITH THE STORM SYSTEM THAT COMES IN WITH SOME MOISTURE INTO CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PARTS OF THE SIERRA BUT IT WILL LARGELY MISS US.

IT WILL BRING COOLING BUT THE PRECIPITATION WILL STAY TO OUR NORTH SO PATCHY DRIZZLE TUESDAY MORNING BUT NO ACTUAL TRUE RAINFALL JUST A LITTLE BIT OF MISSED OR DRIZZLE.

MID-TO-UPPER HER 60s FOR MOST OF THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK SLIGHT COOLING DOWN TO 65 FOR FRIDAY AND THEN ANOTHER REBOUND AS WE TURN WARMER.

GREAT WEATHER THIS WEEKEND.

INLAND AREAS YOU CAN SEE LOW CLOUDS IN THE MORNING, SUNSHINE IN THE AFTERNOON, BACKING FROM THE UPPER 60s TO THE MID-60s WITH THIS SUBTLE COOLING TREND.

INTO THE MOUNTAINS WE GO, A LITTLE BREEZY IF NOT WHEN -- WENDY.

TEMPERATURES COOLING WITH THE WIND AS WELL AND WE WILL BE STUCK IN THE 40s FOR SATURDAY'S HI THERE IN THE MOUNTAINS.

DESERTS FROM 90 TO 75 WITH A SIGNIFICANT COOLDOWN.

IT WILL BE BREEZY IF NOT WINDY IN THIS TRANSITION AS WELL THEN WE GET WINDY AGAIN IN FRIDAY WITH TEMPERATURES REBOUNDING TO 87 DEGREES.

>>> SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S BEST CYTEC HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL TEAMS ARE BACK HOME TONIGHT CELEBRATING THEIR EFFORTS AT THE FIRST ROBOTICS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN HOUSTON OVER THE WEEKEND AND KPBS WAS THERE.

PATRICK HENRY, FRANCIS PARKER TORREY PINES AND CAMERON CREST ACADEMY MADE A BEFORE ELIMINATION.

A SAN DIEGO CALLED THE CLUELESS WON THE MIDDLE SCHOOL COMPETITION AND THEY WERE FROM DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND WERE IN ALLIANCE WITH STUDENTS FROM ROMANIA AND SOUTH AFRICA.

STREET ART OFTEN CARRIES A NEGATIVE CONNOTATION AND IT IS RARE WHEN STREET ARTISTS CAN WORK WITH CITY OFFICIALS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT.

THE KPBS NORTH COUNTY REPORTER TONYA THORNE SAYS THAT WAS THE CASE FOR MURALS THAT NOW SURROUND OCEANSIDE LITTLE LEAGUE FIELDS.

>> Reporter: THEY ARE COLORFUL MURALS DEPICTING LOCAL CULTURE.

ART PAYING TRIBUTE TO MILITARY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT.

THE FAMOUS OCEANSIDE PIER, CHARACTERS FROM THE FILM, THE SANDLOT AND GRAFFITI ART.

IT WAS A VISION FOR YEARS IN THE MAKING.

>> TO MAKE IT LOOK FOR OUR PARTS BETTER AND OUR COMMUNITY IN DIFFERENT WAYS MEANING WE CAN HAVE THE CITY INVOLVED, WE CAN HAVE POLICE DEPARTMENT INVOLVED , WE CAN HAVE THE ARTIST INVOLVED AND AT THE SAME TIME WE HAVE THE LITTLE LEAGUE WHERE A BUNCH OF THESE KIDS PLAY.

>> Reporter: RAMIREZ JUNIOR IS THE PRESIDENT OF OCEANSIDE AMERICA LITTLE LEAGUE.

HE SAYS IT WAS BEAUTIFUL TO SEE STREET ARTISTS WORKING HAND-IN- HAND WITH CITY OFFICIALS AND POLICE.

>> THESE ARTISTS DO THEIR WORK AFTER HOURS, YOU KNOW, IN THE DARK BEHIND SOME ALLEYS OR ON FREEWAYS OR WHEREVER.

THEY GET NERVOUS WHEN POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE NEARBY.

SOME OF THESE ARTISTS WERE VERY SCARED OR PARANOID BECAUSE OPD IS WALKING UP TO THEM SHAKING HANDS AND THANKING THEM THAT THERE IS A BIGGER PICTURE HERE IN THE BIGGER PICTURE WAS TO CROSS THOSE PATHS TO SAY HEY, WE ARE NOT BAD INDIVIDUALS FOR BEING ARTISTS OR TAGGERS.

>> Reporter: THIS IS AN ART CURATOR.

HE HELPED BRING DIFFERENT ARTISTS TOGETHER FOR THE MARROW.

>> WITH GENTRIFICATION HAPPENING IN THE CITY IT IS HARD TO DO STUFF LIKE THIS.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NOT OPEN TO GRAFFITI ART OR EVEN JUST AEROSOL ART BECAUSE A LOT OF SPOTS YOU CAN ONLY PAINT WITH A BRUSH.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS BARRIO LOGAN IS CHICANO PARK AND HE SAYS HE HOPES THIS CAN BE THE START YOU SOMETHING SIMILAR IN NORTH COUNTY.

>> THERE ARE SO MANY TALENTED ARTISTS WE NEED TO BLAST THE WALLS.

I DON'T LIKE LOOKING AT GRAY.

PUT SOME COOL STUFF ON IT.

THERE WILL BE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT COME HERE AND TAKE PICTURES WITH THIS STUFF.

THIS IS HUGE FOR THE CITY.

>> Reporter: AND SO FAR RAMIREZ SAYS THE COMMUNITY HAS GIVEN NOTHING BUT POSITIVE FEEDBACK.

>> VISITORS THAT COME FROM OTHER LEAGUES ARE ALSO GETTING -- SHOWING US LOVE BECAUSE IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.

I LOVE IT.

I WANT PEOPLE TO COME HERE TO FEEL LIKE THIS IS THEIR HOME AND , YOU KNOW, WHAT BETTER WAY TO DO THAT THEN GIVING THEM ART TO LOOK AT AND IT WILL BE RECOGNIZED MAYBE ONE DAY WE CAN GET IT AS FAMOUS AS THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN, IF YOU SEE ANY OF THESE MURALS ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR WHATNOT ON MAGAZINES YOU WILL KNOW THAT IT IS OCEANSIDE AMERICA LITTLE LEAGUE.

>> WITH THE BACKING OF POLICE AND CITY OFFICIALS RAMIREZ AND LAGOS HOPE TO SPEND MORE ART THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
