AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>>> WELL, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

WE SPOKE TO SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO KEEP COOL.

>> THERE IS A HEAT ADVISORY IN THE REGION FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW.

SO, WE CAME DOWN TO SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S WATERFRONT PARK TO COOL OFF.

ALISHA STEARNS AND HER TODDLER SCARLET HAD THE SAME IDEA.

>> IT IS SO HOT TODAY.

THIS IS THE PERFECT WAY TO GET THEM IN THE WATER WITHOUT IT BEING VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS SO SHALLOW.

SHE LOVES IT.

>> THE HEAT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S INLAND VALLEYS AND AREAS EAST OF THERE.

IT FOLLOWS A JULY OF COOL, BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES.

A GREAT CONTRAST FROM JULY OF LAST YEAR, WHICH WAS CALIFORNIA'S HOTTEST MONTH ON RECORD.

TODAY AND TOMORROW, TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE UNCOMFORTABLE.

>> IN THE INLAND VALLEYS, OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY, WE ARE LOOKING AT TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 90s TODAY.

WITH SOME AREAS REACHING 100 DEGREES IN SOME OF THE VALLEY AREAS LIKE RAMONA.

>> IN THE DESERT, EXPECT AMATEURS THAT COULD REACH 115 DEGREES.

METEOROLOGIST ALEX TARTY, THE CREATOR OF WHETHER ECHO SAYS THE HEAT TODAY IS AT ITS PEAK.

>> IT IS GOING TO LINGER INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

AND THEN, FINALLY, BY MID AUGUST, WHEN WE REALLY WANT TO BREAK, IT IS GOING TO BREAK BACK TO COOLER CONDITIONS.

>> HE SAYS THE LACK OF A STRONG HEAT DOME IN OUR REGION IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE'VE HAD FEW MONSOONAL RAINS IN OUR MOUNTAINS AND DESERTS.

FOLLOWING A DRY WINTER THAT HAS CREATED GOOD CONDITIONS FOR WILDFIRES DESPITE LOWER THAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURES.

BUT FOR NOW, IT IS HOT IN SAN DIEGO, AND THAT IS WHY ISABELLA CAME TO THE WATERPARK.

>> WELL, THE WATERPARK IS SO FUN.

IT'S BECAUSE WE CAN LIKE SWIM.

>> THE PROSPECT OF A COOL AUGUST IS ENCOURAGING.

FOR NOW, KIDS WILL PLAY IN WATER PARKS AND ADULTS WILL FIND WAYS TO STAY IN THE SHADE.

THOMAS FUDGE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE WEATHER HEADLINES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

I'M TRACKING WARM CONDITIONS HERE FOR THE MAJORITY OF SOUTHERN COMPANY.

GREAT WEATHER OVERALL FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

AFTER THAT, I'M TRACKING ANOTHER POTENTIAL HEAT DOME DEVELOPING THAT WILL INTENSIFY AS WE HEAD INTO THE NEXT WEEK.

I'LL DETAIL THAT FORECAST COMING UP.

>>> PRESIDENT TRUMP RAISED TARIFFS TO A LEVEL NOT SEEN IN A CENTURY.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR YOUR WALLET?

MARYBELLE GONZALEZ BREAKS DOWN WHICH GOODS CAN BE IMPACTED.

>> THERE ARE HIGHER TARIFFS AGAIN ON JUST ABOUT EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.

>> YOU CAN PARTNER WITH US OR COMPETE WITH US AND FACED TARIFFS.

>> BEFORE TODAY, EVERY COUNTRY'S GOODS ARE SUBJECT TO A MINIMUM 10% TURF.

NOW, ABOUT 10 COUNTRIES WILL FACE A 15% RAISE.

SOME, LIKE BRAZIL, WILL BE HIT WITH GREATER RATES.

WHILE SOME SAY THAT WILL NOT LEAD TO HIGHER PRICES, SOME SAY THAT SOME YOU DEAL WITH ON A DAILY BASIS WILL NOW PROBABLY COST YOU MORE.

>> THIS IS THE LARGEST TAX INCREASE ON U.S. CONSUMERS IN GENERATIONS.

>> IT STARTS AT A MINIMUM OF 35% UNLESS THEY ARE COMPLIANT WITH THE TERMS OF THE UNITED STATES CANADA MEXICO AGREEMENT, IN WHICH CASE, THEY FACE NO TARIFFS.

STILL, CANADIAN OFFICIALS SAY THAT U.S. NORTHERN NEIGHBOR IS SET TO RAMP UP TRADE WITH OTHER PARTNERS.

>> HE IS PROBABLY THE MOST DISLIKED POLITICIAN IN CANADA.

>> WITH TRADE POLICY NEARING A TURNING POINT, HE WAS SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY SAID THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS FOCUSED ON ADDRESSING THE COST OF LIVING.

>> WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT WHAT WE CAN DO FOR HOUSING, FOR STUDENT LOANS.

FOR OVERALL, BECAUSE THERE IS AN AFFORDABILITY CRISIS.

>> I'M MARYBELLE GONZALEZ, REPORTING.

>>> THINK OF RADIO IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND OUR RADIO STATION, KSDS, PROBABLY COMES TO MIND.

THERE IS ANOTHER STATION THAT IS FACING BUDGET CUTS.

WE SPENT SOME TIME AT KSDS JAZZ 88.3 TO LISTEN AND TO LEARN.

>> BROADCASTING FROM THE CAMPUS OF CITY COLLEGE, THIS IS MEMBER SUPPORTED KSDS SAN DIEGO.

IT IS MID-DAY JAZZ IN THE AFTERNOON.

IT IS KSDS JAZZ 88.3.

>> TUCKED INTO THE L BUILDING IS A RADIO STATION THAT HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1951.

BACK THEN, IT WAS A STUDENT RADIO STATION.

IT MORPHED INTO A PUBLIC RADIO STATION BY THE TIME 1973 ROLLED AROUND, AND IN 1985, IT BECAME SAN DIEGO'S ONLY JAZZ AND BLUES STATION.

>> WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT KEEPING THAT FOR OVER 50 YEARS, WHICH IS PRETTY REMARKABLE.

>> CAN POST AND IS THE GENERAL MANAGER OF JAZZ 88.3.

HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT KPBS IS DOING WITH.

FOR US, AS YOU MAY KNOW, THE HIT IS $4.3 MILLION, OR 12% OF OUR BUDGET.

POSTON IS DEALING WITH A SMALLER HIT IN DOLLARS.

200,000, BUT A MUCH BIGGER ONE A PERCENTAGE OF THE STATIONS BUDGET.

>> IT IS 20% OF OUR OPERATING BUDGET.

>> ALL RIGHT.

SAN DIEGO'S JAZZ 88.3.

>> WITH A HIT LIKE THAT, POSTON AND HIS TEAM WASTED NO TIME IN TAKING ACTION TO PLUG THAT HOLE BLOWN INTO THE BUDGET.

>> WE DID A THREE DAY EMERGENCY FUNDRAISER LAST WEEK, AND GOT ABOUT HALF OF IT BACK ALREADY.

SO, AS I SUSPECTED, I KIND OF FELT THAT OUR LISTENERS WERE LOYAL ENOUGH AND WOULD UNDERSTAND THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND WOULD STEP UP AND THEY DID.

>> WHY SUCH LOYALTY?

WELL, JUST LIKE KPBS, WHEN JAZZ 88.3 LISTENERS TUNE IN, THEY KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT MAKE THIS PLACE UNIQUE.

THERE ARE NO PLAYLISTS.

ALL OF THE ON-AIR HOSTS SELECT THEIR OWN MUSIC.

>> THIS IS BLOSSOM DEARY.

AND BANK GOES THE DRUM.

>> NOAH TELLS US WHAT THE PLATE WENT TO PLAY IT, OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE, SO, YEAH.

IT'S REALLY GREAT BECAUSE AT THIS PARTICULAR STATION, EACH ONE OF US HAS A PREFERENCE.

SOME LIKE QUARTETS.

SOME LIKE BIG BANDS.

SOME LIKE THE DANCE MUSIC OF THE 40s, AND IT ALL GETS MIXED IN, AND WE ALL SOUND DIFFERENT.

>> BEFORE THE CUTBACK IN FEDERAL FUNDING, THE FUTURE OF THOSE SOUNDS WAS PRETTY WELL ASSURED.

BUT WITH THE CUTS COMES A DIFFICULT QUESTION.

WHAT IS KSDS IS UNABLE TO REPLACE THE LOST FUNDING?

IT IS A QUESTION THAT IS NEVER FAR FROM KEN POSTON'S MIND.

>> IS LESS WE REPLACE IT, THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE WHATSOEVER AND THAT GROWTH WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE AT THE PROPER RATE.

IF WE WERE TO FALL SHORT SOMEHOW, THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT THINGS AND FIGURE OUT WHAT HAS TO BE DONE.

>> BUT FOR NOW, POSTON SAYS HE IS CONFIDENT THAT THE STATIONS LISTENERS WILL COME THROUGH.

HE SAYS, THAT'S BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND, THERE IS SO MUCH AT STAKE FOR ONE OF THE ONLY JAZZ AND BLUES STATIONS LEFT IN THE COUNTRY.

>> WE FEEL VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO DO THAT.

WE ALSO FEEL A GREAT DEAL OF RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE WE REALIZE WE ARE ONE OF THE LAST ALL JAZZ RADIO STATIONS.

WE HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF BEING ANYTHING ELSE.

>> A PUBLIC MEDIA ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO A SPECIAL MISSION OF PRESERVING A UNIQUELY AMERICAN ART FORM -- AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS PART OF THE REASON WHY SAM YAGO IS SO SPECIAL.

>> YOU CAN GO TO JAZZ883.ORG TO SUPPORT JAZZ 88.3.

STRIKE ONE OF THE MOST OMINOUS CLIENTS FROM GEORGE ORWELL'S 1984 IS ABOUT TRUTH.

THE PARTY TOLD YOU TO REJECT THE EVIDENCE OF YOUR EYES AND EARS.

>> 23% SAY THAT THEY PASSED ALONG FAKE STORIES.

EVEN THOUGH SOME KNEW THAT THEY WERE UNTRUE.

THAT IS FROM A REPORT BY THE DATA FIRM DEMAND SAGE.

UC SAN DIEGO PROFESSOR -- SAID, IT IS HARD TO SAY WHETHER WE ARE LIVING IN A TRULY POST- TRUTH ERA.

SHE IS WORRIED THAT AS TRUTH GOES, SO GOES THE HEALTH OF AMERICAN SOCIETY AND DEMOCRACY, BECAUSE TRUTH, SHE SAYS, IS A CENTRAL HUMAN VALUE.

WITHOUT IT, LIFE IS WITHOUT MEANING, PURPOSE, OR HUMANITY.

>> IF YOU TRAMPLE THE VALUE OF TRUTH, YOU TRAMPLED THE VALUE OF JUSTICE BECAUSE YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE FIRST WHAT IS JUSTICE AND WHAT IS INJUSTICE, AND SECOND, WHAT IS REALLY DONE.

WHETHER A PARTICULAR ACTION CAUSES SUFFERING OR DOESN'T CAUSE SUFFERING.

AND SO, THERE IS SOME KIND OF DOMINO EFFECT, AND SO, TO HEAT -- KEEP ONE HUMAN VALUE, YOU NEED TO KEEP ALL HUMAN VALUES.

>> SHE ADVOCATES THAT GOOGLE REMINDS PEOPLE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF TRUTH DURING SEARCHES, THAT PEOPLE COMMIT TO EXAMINING INFORMATION CRITICALLY, TO LOOK TO GREAT HISTORICAL FIGURES FOR INSPIRATION.

TO KNOW THAT IT IS BOTH A GROUP EFFORT AND ONE EACH OF US HAS TO UNDERTAKE.

>> WE HAVE GROWN-UPS AND PARENTS AND TEACHERS AND LEADERS.

AND PEOPLE WITH INFLUENTIAL WORDS IN THE COMMUNITY.

THEY TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO BRING TO THE ATTENTION OF THE YOUNG GENERATION HOW IMPORTANT HUMAN VALUES ARE, INCLUDING THE HUMAN VALUE OF TRUTH.

AND I THINK IT IS SOMETHING THAT ONLY WE CAN DO FOR OURSELVES.

>> CHER SAYS THAT DEMOCRACY ITSELF REQUIRES THAT PEOPLE DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG.

WHAT IS GOOD AND BAD.

WHAT IS THE CASE, AND NOT THE CASE.

AMITA SHARMA, KPBS NEWS.

>>> MITCH McKAY WAS CHOSEN TO SERVE AS THE CITY'S NEW MAYOR.

THE SPEED OF THE DECISION DIDN'T SIT WELL WITH EVERYONE.

>> THE MAYOR'S SEAT HAS BEEN VACANT FOR A LITTLE OVER TWO WEEKS NOW.

THE CITY COUNCIL HAD SEVERAL OPTIONS FOR CHOOSING A REPLACEMENT.

INCLUDING HOLDING A SPECIAL ELECTION OR APPOINTING SOMEONE AFTER AN OPEN APPLICATION PROCESS.

BUT ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT, THEY DECIDED TO APPOINT SOMEONE IMMEDIATELY.

COUNCILMEMBER MITCH McKAY.

>> I HAVE NO DESIRES TO UNDO ANY ORDINANCES OR ANY OTHER THINGS THAT WE PASSED THAT HAVE PASSED UNDER DIFFERENT PREVIOUS MAYORS.

THAT IS NOT MY INTENT WHATSOEVER.

I WANT TO MOVE THE CITY FORWARD.

I'M NOT LOOKING BACKWARDS.

>> McKAY HAD HIS SHARE OF SUPPORTERS ON TONIGHT BUT A LARGE NUMBER OF SPEAKERS CAUTIONED THE COUNCIL AGAINST MOVING TOO QUICKLY AND URGED THEM TO A LOT MORE PUBLIC INPUT.

IMPERIAL BEACH RESIDENT RACHEL OROZCO SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T THINK -- SHE DIDN'T THINK THEY SHOULD MAKE THE DECISION MEDIALLY.

>> WE SHOULD HAVE A VOICE AND KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.

IF IT IS ONE OF YOU, AND LET US SEE WHY.

MY IS IT GOING TO BE WHAT HE EQUATES BY THE COUNCIL APPROVED McKAY'S OFFENSE ON A 3 TO 1 VOTE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER GONZALES VOTING AGAINST AND McKAY VOTING FOR HIMSELF.

McKAY SAID HE WOULD FOCUS ON THE SEWER CRISIS AND PRIORITIZE LOCAL BUSINESSES.

HE SAID HE HAS NO AMBITIONS FOR HIGHER OFFICE.

>> I WILL PROBABLY DIE IN THE 91932.

I DON'T CARE.

I HAVE NO DESIRES, NO DESIGNS BEYOND THE SCOPE HERE.

>> McKAY WILL SURVIVE THE REST OF HIS TERM.

>> SEAWORLD SETTLED A LAWSUIT WITH THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO OVER ITS UNPAID RENT.

SOME OF THAT MONEY IS GOING TO PARK IMPROVEMENT.

CHARISSE JOHNSON SAYS SOME SOUTH BAY RESIDENTS FEEL IGNORED.

EXPECT A $.5 MILLION SETTLEMENT COMES FROM A MISSION BAY LEASEHOLDER.

THE CITY SAYS IT HAS TO GO TO MISSION BAY AND SAN DIEGO REGIONAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PRODUCTS.

THE SEAWORLD SETTLEMENT FUNDS ARE BEING DISTRIBUTED TO 15 PRODUCTS AND 11 CITY PARKS, INCLUDING $3.7 MILLION FOR IMPROVEMENTS AT BROMFIELD AT OCEAN BEACH.

MONTGOMERY WALLER COMMUNITY PARK AND SO TIME MESA HAS BEEN ON THE CITY'S UNFUNDED PARK IMPROVEMENTS LIST FOR 28 YEARS, BUT IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE ANY OF THE SETTLEMENT MONEY.

LUCKY WALLER LITTLE LEAGUE HAS BEEN ASKING FOR LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS TO INCREASE OVERALL SAFETY.

>> IT HAS BEEN HERE FOR SO LONG.

>> ALBERT ESTRADA IS A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY PLANNING GROUP AND A NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENT.

HE FEELS LEFT IN THE DARK ABOUT WHY IT IS TAKING SO LONG TO GET IMPROVEMENTS.

>> I KNOW IT IS NOT EASY, BUT FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, YOU KNOW, SHOW SOME PROGRESS.

YOU KNOW.

FIGURE OUT A WAY TO SLOWLY BUT SURELY IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITY.

I THINK WE DESERVE IT.

>> THE CITY APPROVED FUNDING FROM DEVELOPMENT FEES TO PAY FOR 19 PARK PRODUCTS -- PROJECTS.

THE CITY SAID THEY ARE WORKING ON FINDING MORE FUNDING.

FOR KPBS.

I AM CHARISSE JOHNSTON.

>> IT IS AN INDEPENDENTLY FUNDED NONPROFIT PARTNER OF KPBS.

AN AUDIT FOR THE FOUNDATION -- KPBS REPORTER ALEXANDER WHEN >> WITH -- SPOKE WITH STUDENTS.

>> IT IS A VINDICATION OF THEIR ORIGINAL FINDINGS.

CONFIRMED THAT IT DID NOT POINT OUT.

>> THAT THERE IS HEADED TO COLLEGE THIS MONTH.

LAST YEAR, THEY PUBLISHED A REPORT THAT PUBLISHED IRREGULARITIES WITH THE BOOKKEEPING AT CCAF.

IT RAISES AND MANAGES MONEY FOR STUDENT CLUBS.

THEY FOUND THEY CHARGED HIGHER THAN OTHER SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT.

>> THEY TOOK A 25% FEE OFF THE TOP.

AND TO TOP OF THAT, THEY TOOK SO LONG TO REIMBURSE FOR EXPENSES.

>> OTHER FEDERATIONS CHARGE BETWEEN FIVE AND 10%.

AFTER THE REPORT WAS PUBLISHED, THAT UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT ORDERED AN INDEPENDENT AUDIT OF ALL SCHOOL FOUNDATIONS.

THAT AUDIT WAS RELEASED THIS WEEK.

AND FOUND 16 ISSUES.

SOME WERE MINOR.

LIKE MISSING MEMORANDUMS OF UNDERSTANDINGS BETWEEN THEM AND THE DISTRICT.

>> THAT'S WHY WE THINK IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR THE DISTRICT TO RELEASE AN MOU .

FOR TRANSPARENCY.

>> IN AN EMAIL TO KPBS, CCAF'S PRESIDENT SAID IT HAS TAKEN STEPS TO IMPROVE AND STRENGTHEN ITS OPERATIONS.

SHE SAYS STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES REMAIN THE FOUNDATION'S TOP PRIORITY.

WE ARE PROUD OF THE WORK WE HAVE DONE WITH THE COMMUNITY AND REMAIN COMMITTED TO JASPER AND SEEK OUT ACCOUNTABILITY AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.

TRUCK THE CCAF LIMITED'S FEET AT 28%.

IT WILL PRESENT TO THE BOARD TONIGHT.

IT IS NOT EXPECTED TO TAKE ANY ACTIONS THIS EVENING.

KPBS PUBLIC MEDIA I TEAM WILL HOPE THEY WILL IMPLEMENT THEIR AUGMENTATIONS.

ALEXANDER NGUYEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> IT WAS A HOT START FOR THE LOVE MESA SCHOOL DISTRICT.

STUDENTS RECEIVED A WARM WELCOME FOR THEIR FIRST DAY OF CLASSES TODAY.

HE REACHED AS HIGH AS 90 DEGREES IN EL CAJON.

DESPITE THE HEAT CASTINGS CAME WALKING IN WITH SMILES.

>> WE HAVE A BACKUP PLAN FOR HIGH HEAT WHERE STUDENTS WILL MEET AND PLAY INDOORS FROM WATER FILLING STATIONS TO ALTERNATIVE SETTINGS FOR PLAY.

ACTIVITIES INDOORS.

ALL OF THE SMILES.

THE FAMILIAR FACES.

EAGER EYES.

KIDS COME BACK.

THEY ARE READY TO LEARN.

THEY'RE EXCITED ABOUT SCHOOL, AND PARENTS ARE OFTEN EXCITED TO BRING THEM BACK TO SCHOOL.

>> AND A HIGH HEAT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT THROUGH TOMORROW EVENING.

>>> AND TRACKING A BIG WARM UP AS WE HAD THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY PARTS OF NEXT WEEK BUT OVERALL AS WE HEAD INTO TONIGHT, I'LL BE TRACKING OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID 60s.

SOME CUTS NEAR THE COASTAL AREAS.

TEMPERATURE WISE HERE IT WILL BE THE LOW TO MID 60s.

IT WILL BE A MILD START HERE FOR YOUR EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.

FUTURE TRACK RADAR ISSUING FOR THE MOST PART, SOME CLOUD COVERAGE AS THE SUN COMES UP FOR YOUR EARLY FRIDAY.

MOST OF THE THICKER CUTS ARE WELL OFF TO THE SOUTH, BUT THERE WILL BE SOME CLOUD COVERAGE STICKING AROUND IN THE DAY AND INCREASING CLOUD COVER SPREAD WE'LL SEE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAKING THAT DRIVE HOME FOR THE COMMUTE.

OVERALL, IT IS GOING TO BE A DRY FORECAST.

THE MEASURE WILL STAY ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS AND THE LOWER ROCKIES HERE AS WE NEARED FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

AS WE HAD TO SATURDAY, A LOT OF SUCH I START FOR THE FORECAST, AS WELL.

HERE IS THE SET UP FOR FRIDAY.

IT IS GOING TO STAY HOT HERE ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

EASIER CONDITIONS WILL INCREASE FIRE DANGER ACROSS PARTS OF UTAH AND COLORADO.

SO MUCH AFTER THAT.

YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A MIX OF 70s AND 80s HERE ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS.

82 THERE IN OCEANSIDE.

90s AND TRIPLE DIGITS ALONG THE INFERIOR -- INTERIOR.

HEADING INTO SATURDAY, THE HEAT IS GOING TO SLOWLY, SLOWLY START TO WORK ITS WAY OFF TO THE EAST, BUT IT IS STILL GOING TO STAY DRY, AND IT IS STILL GOING TO STAY WARM HERE ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND.

HERE IS A LOOK AT YOUR UPDATED EXTENDED OUTLOOK FOR COASTAL AREAS.

WE'LL SEE LOTS OF SUNSHINE AND TEMPERATURES IN THE 80s FOR FRIDAY BUT AFTER THAT GOT THEM TEACHERS WILL START TO DROP OFF JUST A LITTLE BIT HERE.

WE WILL MAKE IT TO THE MID-70s HERE AS -- BY THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK.

WE'LL SEE MORE 80s BY MIDWEEK.

IN THE DESERT, WE'LL SEE TEMPERATURES TOPPING OFF FRIDAY BUT WE'LL SEE WARM CONDITIONS AS WE HEAD INTO THE EARLY PARTS OF NEXT WEEK.

>>> MUST PEOPLE LOOK FORWARD TO RETIREMENT, BUT IMAGINE BEING IN YOUR 90s AND WORKING EVERY DAY BECAUSE THERE'S HARDLY ANYBODY LEFT WHO CAN DO WHAT YOU DO.

KEN KRAMER FOUND A MAN WITH A LONG HISTORY IN OUR COUNTY THAT WAS STILL IN DEMAND AND MAKING HOUSE CALLS AROUND AND ABOUT SAN DIEGO.

>>> THE PASTORAL ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE, DRIVING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD, OF COURSE.

I WANT YOU TO PICTURE THIS SAME SCENE IN ENGLAND.

ONLY, IT'S SOMETIME IN THE 1950s.

IT WAS SAID THAT IF YOU HAVE A HAPPY FRAME OF MIND AND THE WEATHER WAS REASONABLY KIND, ENGLAND WAS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO GO DRIVING.

JUST ONE THING TO REMEMBER.

>> GET A GOOD CAR.

THAT'S THE SECRET OF IT.

>> THERE YOU ARE.

A GOOD MOTORCAR AND BASIC.

OH, YOU HAD HERE BOSTON SCOTT YOUR RIVERS AND JAGUARS, BUT THE MORRIS MINOR WAS THE POPULAR CHOICE.

IT WAS CHARMINGLY SIMPLE AND ALL THE VEHICLE A SENSIBLE PERSON NEEDED.

>> THE MORRIS MINOR WAS THE MAIN TRANSPORTATION BACK IN THE 50s AND 60s.

>> BEAR WITH ME HERE BECAUSE I KNOW ENGLAND IS A LONG WAY AWAY FROM SAN DIEGO.

SO DOES DENNIS TALLEY BECAUSE SIX YEARS AGO, HE MADE THE TRIP AND SHOULD APPEAR WITH A GROWING FAMILY AND A TON OF MECHANICAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE MORRIS MINOR AND A LOT OF OTHER BRITISH CARS FROM SO FAR AWAY.

>> ONE PLACE WAS ASKING FOR -- LOOKING FOR A GOOD MECHANIC SO I WENT THERE ON MONDAY MORNING AND AFTER A SLIGHT CONFERENCE WITH THEM, THEY SAID, WHEN CAN YOU START?

>> SOON ENOUGH, HE OWNED SOMETHING THAT COULD NEVER BE ON SUCH PRIME REAL ESTATE TODAY.

HIS OWN REPAIR SHOP WAS AT SEVENTH AND G BUT IN THE SIMILAR DAYS OF THE 1960s, A BIG PART OF SAN DIEGO'S DOWNTOWN WAS CAR DEALERSHIPS AND GARAGES.

>> THERE WERE SEVEN OR EIGHT REPAIR PLACES IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.

>> EVENTUALLY MAKES THE SHOP TO LIMIT GROWTH MORE THAN 40 YEARS LATER WHERE HE BECAME A BIT OF A LOCAL CELEBRITY BECAUSE HE DROVE A LITTLE MORRIS MINOR TRUCK.

SEE IT THERE?

TOP SPEED, MAYBE 30 MILES PER HOUR.

>> THAT'S GREAT.

>> OKAY.

FAST FORWARD TO WHEN WE CAUGHT UP WITH HIM.

DOESN'T HAVE THE SHOP ANYMORE, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HE IS HUNG ONTO?

PARTS.

CARPETS.

>> MORRIS MINOR PARTS.

>> AND NOW, GOING ON 92 YEARS OLD, HE IS SOMETIMES THE ONLY SOURCE FOR THEM.

>> PEOPLE CALL ME, DO YOU HAVE THIS PART?

DO YOU HAVE THAT PART?

IF THEY ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE IN SOME CASES.

>> NOT MUCH NEED FOR SOME OF THEM.

IT'S BEEN YEARS AND YEARS, BUT HE'S GOT THEM JUST IN CASE.

>> THERE IS THE GEAR TRANSMISSION.

YOU CAN'T GET ONE OF THESE, YOU KNOW.

>> CONDENSERS, IGNITION PARTS.

SERVICE MANUALS.

>> I HAVE CYLINDER HEADS.

I HAVE CYLINDER BLOCKS.

HAVE CAMSHAFTS AND CRANKSHAFTS.

ALL THOSE PARTS.

IF SOMEONE NEEDS THEM, I GOT THEM.

>> YES.

AND WHEN HE HAS A MOMENT, THAT IS A TRANSMISSION HE IS REBUILDING ON HIS WORKBENCH.

BUT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT DENNIS TALLEY.

THIS MAN, BORN DURING THE REIGN OF GEORGE V, HE MAJORED WHO HAS HIS MG IN THE MORRIS MINOR WANT -- STILL DOES MAKE HOUSE CALLS.

IN HIS 10th DECADE, HE WAS STILL GOING OUT ON HOME VISITS IN THE SAME LITTLE BRITISH TRUCK FROM THE SAN DIEGO REPAIR SHOP DAYS.

WITH, A NEW FASTER FREE WEIGHT ENGINE.

IN ITS SIMPLICITY, HIS MORRIS MINOR PICKUP IS TRUSTWORTHY, WELL-FOUNDED, AND RELIABLE AS AN OLD FRIEND THAT MAKES HOUSE CALLS.

THOSE PARTS BACK IN DENNIS'S GARAGE -- WHO KNOWS IF ONE OR TWO MIGHT COME IN HANDY TODAY.

THIS IS A LITTLE MORRIS MINOR TO BLOGGING TO BILL McADOO.

>> THAT TRUCK IS OWNED BY MY NEIGHBOR.

THEY ALL LIKE IT.

>> THIS HOSE WAS A LITTLE LOOSE THE LAST TIME WE CHECKED IT.

>> AND I HAVE FRIENDS THAT ARE CAR PEOPLE AND THEY ARE LEGENDARY WITH DENNIS BECAUSE THEY CALL THEM UP A TIME FOR ADVICE.

>> IT IS LOOKING REAL GOOD.

I CAN TELL YOU.

IT IS NOT LEAKING IN ANY WAY.

WE ARE BACK TO NORMAL.

>> AND SO IT GOES.

IN HIS 90s, DENNIS TALLEY, FROM A SIMILAR TIME, WHEN HE DIDN'T HAVE TO BE A COMPUTER SAVVY DIAGNOSTICIAN -- IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH A FEW TOOLS, YOU COULD FIX A CAR.

>> HE IS A TREASURE.

THAT IS I CAN GET.

>> IT IS THAT KNOWING WHAT YOU'RE DOING THINK THOSE WHO WILL TAKE HIS PLACE?

WHERE IS THE DENNIS TALLEY TO WORK ON A MG OR TRINITY 22 YEARS FROM NOW?

WHEN HE'S GONE, THAT'S IT.

HE IS VERY LIKELY THE LAST OF A KIND, AND WHAT ABOUT THAT?

THIS STORY, HIS REPUTATION, FOR SURE, WILL OUTLIVE HIM.

WHAT WOULD BE HIS EPITAPH?

LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, HE KEEPS IT SIMPLE.

>> HERE LIES AN OLD MECHANIC.

LONG GONE.

>> DENNIS TALLEY, WHO SPENT MOST OF A LIFETIME KEEPING THOSE LITTLE BRITISH CARS RUNNING AND NOT A MINOR POINT -- MADE A LOT OF FRIENDS AROUND AND ABOUT SAN DIEGO.

>> AND FOR MORE OF KEN KRAMER'S STORIES ABOUT SAN DIEGO, WATCHES HALF HOUR SHOW EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT RIGHT HERE ON KPBS.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I'M MAYA TRABULSI.
