AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU >> TOMORROW SAN DIEGO COUNTY SUPERVISORS WILL CONSIDER A CALL FOR A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS INVOLVING MIGRANTS BEING DROPPED OFF AT SITES AROUND THE COUNTRY.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

THEY ARE ASKING FOR FEDERAL ASSISTANCE AND TODAY A LOCAL CONGRESSMAN GOT A LOOK AT THE SITUATION AT ONE OF THOSE SITES.

KPBS REPORTER TONYA THORNE HAS THE STORY FROM OCEANSIDE.

>> Reporter: FOR THE PAST 13 DAYS GROUPS OF MIGRANTS HAVE BEEN DROPPED OFF AT THE OCEANSIDE TRANSIT STATION BY CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION.

THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING HELP FROM VOLUNTEERS AND NONPROFITS WHO SET UP TABLES FULL OF FOOD AND RESOURCES TO HELP THE DISORIENTED MIGRANTS.

THAT INCLUDES TELLING THE MIGRANTS WHERE THEY ARE.

CALLING THEIR SPONSORS AND HELPING THEM BOOK A FLIGHT AND GET THEM TO THE AIRPORT.

ALL THAT HAS BEEN LAID ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE LOCAL NONPROFIT AND VOLUNTEERS.

>> IT'S JUST NOT SUSTAINABLE.

WE DON'T HAVE THE MANPOWER OR THE WOMAN POWER TO GET THIS THING DONE OVER THE LONG-TERM.

WE REALLY NEED ALL LOCAL AGENCIES TO STEP UP.

>> Reporter: OCEANSIDE CITY COUNCILMEMBER, ERIC JOYCE, SAYS THE COUNTY NEEDS TO LEND SOME RESOURCES.

TO THAT SAN DIEGO COUNTY SUPERVISOR JIM DESMOND SAID >> WE DON'T HAVE THOSE RESOURCES.

>> IT'S REALLY A POSITION THAT WE ARE TAKING TO ASK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, GO BEYOND YOUR CAPACITY HERE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND WE ARE ASKING FOR FUNDING AND WE ARE ASKING FOR NO LATERAL TRANSFERS.

THIS IS REALLY MORE OF A ASK AND DECLARATION AND IT'S REALLY A DECLARATION OF A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS BECAUSE IT'S NOT FAIR TO THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE NEAR THESE TRANSIT CENTERS OR DROP OFF SITES NOR IS IT FAIR TO THE MIGRANTS.

THE FIRST QUESTION THEY ASKED THE MIGRANTS IS WHERE AM I?

>> SAN DIEGO COUNTY SUPERVISOR JIM DESMOND SAID ANOTHER IDEA WAS TO WORK WITH BORDER PROTECTION AND NONPROFITS TO SEND THE MIGRANTS TO ONE LOCATION CLOSER TO THE SAN DIEGO AIRPORT RATHER THAN MULTIPLE TRANSIT CENTERS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

CONGRESSMAN, MIKE 11, GOT A FIRSTHAND LOOK IN OCEANSIDE ON MONDAY.

>> EVERYONE NEEDS TO DO THEIR PART.

AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL BUT I THINK WE NEED TO DO LONG-TERM IS COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM AND TRY TO PROVIDE WHATEVER FUNDING THAT WE CAN WITH WHATEVER AVAILABLE RESOURCES ARE OUT THERE TO TRY TO HELP THIS REGION AND THIS COMMUNITY.

>> Reporter: WITH A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN LOOMING IT MIGHT TAKE TIME FOR ANY RESOURCES TO ARRIVE.

IN THE MEANTIME MIGRANTS CONTINUE TO BE DROPPED OFF AND VOLUNTEERS ARE THERE TO GREET THEM.

TONYA THORNE, KPBS NEWS .

>>> SAN DIEGO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IS ADOPTING A NEW STRATEGY TO IMPROVE INTERACTIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND POLICE.

HE -- KPBS REPORTER KATIE HEISMAN HAS MORE.

>> Reporter: ONE IN FOUR AMERICANS HAVE A DISABILITY AND CAN HINDER THEIR ABILITY TO COMPLY WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT WHO MAY NOT REALIZE THEY HAVE A DISABILITY.

DIABETICS WITH LOW BLOOD SUGAR CAN MEDIC DRUNKENNESS.

A DEAF PERSON MAY APPEAR NOT TO BE OBEYING ORDERS THEY CANNOT HEAR.

SOMEONE WITH AUTISM MAY AVOID EYE CONTACT OR RUN.

THOSE MISUNDERSTANDINGS CAN HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES, ESPECIALLY BLACK AMERICANS ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BE ARRESTED AND KILLED BY POLICE.

THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT PLANS TO DISTRIBUTE FREE MATERIALS LIKE BUTTONS, LANYARDS AND SEATBELT COVERS WITH A BLUE ENVELOPE LOGO.

THAT LOGO SIGNALS TO AN OFFICER THAT THE PERSON WEARING IT NEEDS DISABILITY ACCOMMODATIONS.

A PHYSICAL BLUE ENVELOPE CAN ALSO BE PREPARED WITH ACCOMMODATION REQUEST AND COMMONLY REQUESTED DOCUMENTS.

COUNTY BOARD VICE CHAIR, TARA LAWSON-REMER SAYS IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

>> THIS WILL CREATE GREATER RESPECT BETWEEN OUR POLICE OFFICERS AND RESIDENTS.

>> Reporter: THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT ROLLED OUT ADDITIONAL TRAINING AND PLANS TO LAUNCH THE PROGRAM OCTOBER 16th.

YOU DON'T NEED TO REGISTER, JUST OBTAIN MATERIALS FROM A PARTICIPATING LOCATION.

THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HOPES TO EXPAND THE PROGRAM TO ALL AGENCIES IN THE COUNTY.

KATIE HI STAN, KPBS.

>> ON SEPTEMBER 25th 1978 TRAGEDY HIT SAN DIEGO.

A PACIFIC SOUTHWEST AIRLINE 727 JUST MOMENTS AWAY FROM LANDING AT LINDBERGH FIELD COLLIDED WITH A SMALLER PLANE AND CRASHED TO THE GROUND IN NORTHPARK.

144 PEOPLE IN THE PLANES AND ON THE GROUND WERE KILLED.

KPBS REPORTER JOHN CARROLL IS LIVE IN NORTHPARK WHERE JOHN, YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO WHY 45 YEARS LATER THERE IS STILL NO PROPER MEMORIAL TO THE VIC'S.

>> Reporter: THAT'S WHITE -- THAT'S RIGHT, MAYA AND AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE ALL THE VIC COMES NAMES WRITTEN OUT IN SHOCK WHICH HAPPENED EVERY YEAR.

YOU WILL MEET THE PERSON THAT DOES THAT EVERY YEAR A SISTER OF ONE OF THOSE VICTIMS.

ALL 144 OF THEM OUT HERE WITH FLOWERS TO GO ALONG AND A MAN WHO WITNESSED THE PLANE GOING DOWN AS A TEENAGER PUTS UP ARTICLES AND THEN USE THE OTHER REMEMBRANCES OF VARIOUS PEOPLE ON THIS FENCE.

THIS IMAGE IS FOREVER SEARED INTO THE MEMORIES OF MANY SAN DIEGO, ONE OF TWO PICTURES TAKEN BY PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER HANS WENT WHO HAPPENED TO HAVE HIS CAMERA AROUND HIS NECK AS HE WAS PUMPING GAS A FEW BLOCKS AWAY.

A COUPLE OF MINUTES AFTER A RADIO TRANSMISSION THE 727 AND THE CESSNA COLLIDED ON THE GROUND PEOPLE LOOKED UP AND SAW FIRE.

SECONDS LATER A PLUME OF BLACK SMOKE WAS BILLOWING INTO THE SKY OVER NORTHPARK.

THE PSA JET SMASHED INTO THE GROUND JUST NORTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF DWIGHT AND NIALL KILLING ALL 135 PEOPLE ABOARD.

SEVEN PEOPLE ON THE GROUND WERE KILLED INCLUDING TWO CHILDREN.

BOTH THE PILOT AND PASSENGER OF THE CESSNA LOST THEIR LIVES AND THAT PLANE CRASHED SEVERAL BLOCKS AWAY.

>> HE SAID HE WAS 18 YEARS OLD.

>> Reporter: WE MET A FAMILY MEMBER OF ONE OF THE PASSENGERS HERE WHERE THE JET HIT.

>> MY BROTHER WAS STARTING HIS FIRST DAY AT UC SAN DIEGO.

I'M HIS SISTER AND HE WAS ON THE PLANE.

>> Reporter: HER BROTHER MICHAEL HAD BOARDED PSA FLIGHT 182 IN SACRAMENTO.

MEMORIES OF THAT DAY ARE STILL VIVID.

>> I WAS WAITING FOR HIM AT THE AIRPORT TO MAKE SURE THAT HE COULD GET ON THE PLANE AND HE CAME BACK OUT AND SAID I GOT THE LAST SEAT ON THE PLANE.

SO, THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM.

>> I WAS ON A BREAK BETWEEN CLASSES FOUR BLOCKS DOWN THE ROAD.

>> Reporter: THIS MAN HAD JUST STARTED HIS SOPHOMORE YEAR AT SAINT AUGUSTINE'S AND 45 YEARS LATER IT'S STILL DIFFICULT TO GET THE WORDS OUT ABOUT WHAT HE SAW WHEN HE LOOKED UP.

>> I SAW THE FIREBALL AND YOU COULD SEE THE GLOW OF THE FIRE INTO THE WINDOWS.

YOU CAN SEE THE PEOPLE SCREAMING.

IT WAS HORRIBLE.

>> Reporter: SECONDS LATER HE SAID HE FELT A BOOM, A WAVE EMANATING OUT FROM THE POINT OF IMPACT.

THEN FEAR OF ANOTHER HORROR OVERTOOK HIM.

HIS FAMILY HOME WAS AT 33rd AND WHITE ABOUT A BLOCK FROM THE CRASH SITE.

AT FIRST HE SAID HE DIDN'T WANT TO GO HOME, AFRAID OF WHAT HE WOULD FIND.

HE FIRST WENT TO A FRIENDS HOUSE AND THERE HE SAW SOMETHING THAT WIPED AWAY HIS WORST FEARS.

>> I SEE CHANNEL 10 ON JACK WHITE WAS REPORTING FROM THE NEIGHBORS HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET AND THAT'S WHEN I KNEW HOW THANK GOD.

>> Reporter: HE KNEW THAT IF THAT NEIGHBORS HOUSE WAS STANDING IN HIS WAS TWO.

THE CORNER WAS NEVER ABLE TO IDENTIFY HER BROTHERS REMAINS WHAT SHE HAS SOMETHING ELSE.

SHE KEEPS IT IN THIS CASE WITH HER BROTHERS HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION PICTURE.

IT'S HIS WALLET FOUND AT THE CRASH SITE NOT DAMAGE AT ALL.

>> IT WAS INTACT WITH HIS DRIVERS LICENSE AND PICTURES AND EVEN A DOLLAR IN HIS WALLET.

>> Reporter: 10 YEARS AGO, MYRA, MICHAEL AND SEVERAL OTHERS FORMED A COMMITTEE TO FINALLY PLACE A PROPER MEMORIAL TO THOSE LOST LIVES -- IT THIS RATHER SMALL PLAQUE IT DOESN'T HAVE ONE NAME ON IT OF ANYONE WHO PERISHED THAT DAY.

>> Reporter: THERE IS ANOTHER LARGER WORM ORIOLE.

IT'S HERE IN THE SPACE MUSEUM AS PART OF THE PSA EXHIBIT.

THE HISTORY OF SAN DIEGO'S HOMEGROWN AIRLINE.

GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.

A SERIES OF PLAQUES AND THIS ONE DETAILS ALL THE LIVES LOST ON THE AIRPLANES AND ON THE GROUND AND THIS ONE ON MEMORY OF THE 37 EMPLOYEES PSA LOST ON THAT DAY.

THEY ARE IN A MUSEUM.

THEY ARE NOT OUT THERE CLOSE TO WHERE IT HAPPENED.

>> Reporter: MYRA POLASKI, MICHAEL BADNESS AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO WORKED FOR A PROPER MEMORIAL FOR YEARS ARE TIRED OF WAITING.

>> WHY IS THERE NOT ONE THERE?

WHY CAN'T THE POLITICIANS DO IT.

?

>> NONE OF US HAVE A PLACE TO BREATHE.

THERE'S NO CEMETERY THERE'S NO HEADSTONE THAT I CAN SAY THIS IS WHERE I CAN PAY MY RESPECTS.

>> Reporter: NOW A SIGNIFICANT MEMORIAL IS BEING PUT TOGETHER NOT TOO FAR FROM HERE.

IT'S AT SAINT AUGUSTINE HIGH SCHOOL.

THIS MORNING THE SCHOOL UNVEILED ARTIST RENDERINGS OF THE NEW MEMORIAL WHICH WILL BE OUTSIDE THE GATES OF THE SCHOOL SO ANYONE CAN STOP BY WHENEVER THEY WOULD LIKE.

IT FEATURES A LARGE SERIES OF BLACK TILES THAT WILL BE BACK LATE AT NIGHT AND A PLAQUE BEARING THE NAMES OF ALL WHO DIED THAT DAY.

SAINT AUGUSTINE ALUMNUS STEPHEN SMITH WAS A FIREFIGHTER IN SAN DIEGO BACK THEN AND HE WAS ON THE SCENE NOT LONG AFTER THE CRASH.

HE SAYS EVEN THOUGH MEMORIAL IS 45 YEARS LATE HE IS GRATEFUL THAT IT'S BEING DONE AT ALL.

>> THIS IS REALLY OUTSTANDING AND IT REALLY IN A GOOD SPOT FOR THE FUTURE.

AND COOL IS GOING TO BE HERE FOR A LONG TIME AND SO WILL THE PLAQUE.

>> Reporter: AS FAR AS PLACING A PROPER MEMORIAL IS CLOSE TO THE CRASH SITE AS POSSIBLE I ASKED A LOCAL POLITICIAN ABOUT WHY HE FIVE YEARS LATER THERE IS STILL NOTHING THAT CLOSE AND THIS IS COUNCILMEMBER STEPHEN WHITMAN DISTRICT AND HE WILL SPEAK TOMORROW.

YOU WILL DEFINITELY WANT TO HEAR HIS ANSWERS TO MY QUESTIONS.

LIVE IN NORTHPARK, JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.

>> THANK YOU JOHN, THAT WAS GREAT REPORTING.

>>> ONE OF THE NAVY'S LAST COLD WAR ERA CRUISERS HAS BEEN DECOMMISSIONED AT NAVAL BASE SAN DIEGO.

THE WARSHIP WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO ATTACK IRAQ WITH CRUISE, MISSILES DURING THE PERSIAN WAR IN 1991 AND IN 2010 THE CRUISER PROVIDED DISASTER RELIEF.

AND CONGRESS RETURNS TOMORROW TO VOTE ON MAJOR SPENDING BILLS AS MIKE VALERIO REPORTS SHOULD LAWMAKERS FAILED TO PASS A BILL A SHUTDOWN COULD HAVE ENORMOUS IMPACTS ON THE ECONOMY.

>> FIVE DAYS IS THE TIME LEFT FOR CONGRESS TO REACH AN AGREEMENT.

BOTH SIDES OF THE TABLE AT A STANDSTILL.

SOME LAWMAKERS SAY GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN LOOKS INEVITABLE AND A SHUTDOWN COULD COST U.S. ECONOMY $6 BILLION PER WEEK AND PUT A STRAIN ON AMERICANS.

>> WE CANNOT GO INTO GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.

I KNOW THIS IS A POLITICAL THING BUT IT CANNOT BE AN OPTION.

IT DOES PUT THE ECONOMY IN A PLACE WHERE CHECKS DON'T GET SENT OUT.

BUSINESSES START CLOSING DOWN.

>> Reporter: IS LAWMAKERS THERE TO PASS A FEDERAL FUNDING WILL THE IMPACT ON AMERICAN TUMORS IS SIGNIFICANT.

MAJOR TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS AND PUBLIC HEALTH RISKS AS THE EPA HOLDS INSTRUCTIONS -- INSPECTIONS.

THERE COULD BE FOOD AND HOUSING IMPACTS AND MUSEUM AND PARKS CLOSURES.

THERE'S AN EVEN BIGGER IMPACT ON FEDERAL WORKERS.

>> 60% OF THE AMERICAN WORKFORCE LIVE FROM PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK.

THE PEOPLE THAT I REPRESENT ARE NO DIFFERENT.

ONE WEEK WITHOUT A PAYCHECK COULD BE DEVASTATING.

>> Reporter: SO WHO IS TO BLAME?

CONGRESSMAN TONY GONZALES SAYS EVERYONE.

>> HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE TO BLAME.

SENATE DEMOCRATS IS TO BLAME AND THE PRESIDENT IS TO BLAME.

EVERYONE THINKS THEY CAN POINT THE FINGER AT SOMEONE ELSE.

PATIENT CARE TECHNICIANS BEGAN STRIKING OUTSIDE CLINICS IN EL CAJON AND CHULA VISTA EARLY THIS MORNING.

THEY WERE QUICK PATIENTS WHO NEED KIDNEY DIALYSIS TREATMENTS.

THEY ARE STRIKING OVER WHAT THEY SAY ARE ON FAIR LABOR PRACTICES AND WORKING CONDITIONS.

>> THIS GOES WAY BACK BEFORE COVID STARTED.

WE WERE SHORTHANDED.

NOW IT'S BEEN LATELY 8-1 SO IMAGINE DEALING WITH PATIENTS WITH LOW BLOOD PRESSURE AND FEELING NAUSEOUS AND MAY BE BLEEDING TO BECAUSE WE ALREADY PULLED OUT EVERY NEEDLE OUT OF THEIR ARM BUT WOULD WE HELP AND WHO DO WE SAY FIRST?

>> MORE STRIKES ARE SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW WITH EMPLOYEES WARNING FURTHER ACTION IF A DEAL IS NOT REACHED SOON.

HOLLYWOOD WRITERS ARE OFFICIALLY OFF THE PICKET LINES AND COULD BE BACK AT WORK AS EARLY AS THIS WEEK.

A BIOLOGY LAB AT SAN DIEGO STATE IS WORKING WITH A NASA GRANT TO WRITE A RECIPE FOR GUACAMOLE THAT WILL TRAVEL TO SPACE.

KPBS REPORTER HAS A STORY OF A GUACAMOLE MIX THAT'S ME TO BE TASTY AND NUTRITIOUS.

>> Reporter: VIALS OF GREEN LIQUID SWIRLING IN A SAN DIEGO STATE LAB TEST SAMPLES OF MICROALGAE.

ALGAE IS THE NOT SO SECRET INGREDIENT MEANT TO BOLSTER THE GUACAMOLE WITH ANTIOXIDANTS WHICH PROJECT -- PROTECTS SPACE TRAVELERS FROM THE HIGH LEVELS OF RADIATION.

ON THE SPACESHIP THE FOOD HAS TO TRAVEL LIGHT, THE SOLUTION?

>> OUR PROPOSED PROJECT IS TO HAVE LIKE A POWDER MIX AND THEN IT WILL BE HYDRATED IN A SPACE AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE THE AVOCADO.

MICROALGAE ARE GREEN AND AVOCADOS ARE GREEN.

FOOD SCIENCE CAN HELP.

RESEARCHER ALI RIZA DOES WHAT HE CALLS MOLECULAR SCIENCE TEAMS YOU CAN ENHANCE THE FLAVOR OF FOOD NOT WITH ADDITIVES BUT BY CHEMICALLY MANIPULATING THE COMPOUNDS IN IT.

HE IS ADVISING PROFESSOR ZUNIGA'S TEAM TO MAKE ALGAE GO DOWN A LITTLE EASIER.
