>>>Good evening.

It's Thursday, July 29.

Thank you for joining us.

We begin tonight with a major announcement coming from the SAN DIEGO Sheriff's Department.

Bill Gore who has served 12 years as sheriff will not seek reelection IN 2022.

TODAY, HE INFORMED HIS 4600 EMPLOYEES AND HERE IS A PORTION OF HIS STATEMENT.

BEING YOUR SHERIFF IS ONE OF THE MOST REWARDING EXPERIENCES OF MY LAW ENFORCEMENT CAREER LORDING PRIMARY BECAUSE OF THE EXTRAORDINARY MEN AND WOMEN IN THE DEPARTMENT WHO WORK TIRELESSLY EVERY DAY TO KEEP SAN DIEGO THE SAFEST URBAN COUNTY IN THE NATION.

THAT IS THE END OF THE QUOTE.

AGAIN CHEF -- SHERIFF GORE ANNOUNCING HE WILL NOT SEEK REELECTION.

STOMACH AND EMOTIONAL MOMMY -- MOMENT AS THERE IS A LAWSUIT BEING FILED AS KPBS NORTH COUNTY REPORTER SHOWS US THE PAIN IS AS WRONG AS IT WAS WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ONE YEAR AGO TOMORROW.

>> HE WAS MY ONLY SON.

HE WAS MY ONLY CHILD.

>> HER SON EVAN WAS A 19-YEAR- OLD MARINE PRIVATE ON BOARD AT THE SUNKEN AAB.

TODAY, THE FAMILY OF THE SERVICEMEMBERS ANNOUNCED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE VA SYSTEM.

>> I DO FOR ALL OF OUR BOYS TO BE SAFE GOING FORWARD, AND I MISS MY KID.

>> THE ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THE FAMILIES SAYS THE NINE MEN COULD BE ALIVE TODAY IF IT WASN'T FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

>> GOT A FEW PEOPLE OUT, THEN TRAGICALLY, A WAVE CAME AND SWEPT AWAY ALL FOUR OF THOSE MARINES INTO THE OCEAN AND ONCE AGAIN, THAT DOOR CLOSED SHUT, AND THEY WERE TRAPPED IN A DARK OFTEN AND NO WAY TO GET OUT.

>> INITIATIVE TAKEN 18 SECONDS PER PERSON TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE.

THAT IS LESS THAN THREE MINUTES FOR ALL NINE MEN.

SHE SAYS THEY HAD 45 MINUTES TO GET OUT BUT COULDN'T MAKE IT.

>> THE WEIGHT OF THE WATER AND WAIT OF THE CARGO WAS TOO HEAVY AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO LOCK IT IN OPEN POSITION, SO HE KEPT COMING BACK NOW WITH EACH WAY.

FINALLY, THEY WERE TRAPPED IN AND THEY SINK TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN FLOOR.

>> 4000 PAGE MILITARY REPORT CITED LEAKS AND COMMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE AAB BUT DIDN'T MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT THE EXIT BEING A DEFECT.

A STATEMENT PROVIDED BY THE MARINE CORPS SAID IT IS PERMITTED TO IDENTIFYING THE THINGS THAT LED TO THE TRAGEDY AND A CONSCIENTIOUS REVIEW IS UNDERWAY BEING CONDUCTED BY THE SINGLE -- SENIOR MARINE CORPS AND NAVY PERSONNEL.

THE COMPANY DID OFFER SYMPATHIES TO THE FAMILIES.

TANYA THORNE, KPBS NEWS.

>> MORE THAN A YEAR AGO, A CRIMINAL CASE IS MOVING FORWARD.

KPBS MILITARY REPORTER STEVE WALSH SAYS THE NAVY IS CHARGING A SAILOR.

>> THE NAVY ANNOUNCED CHARGES ARE BEING BROUGHT AGAINST AN UNNAMED SAILOR FOR THE JULY 12, 2020 FIRE THAT DESTROYED THE NAVY VESSEL.

VICE ADMIRAL STEVE KOHLER COMMANDER OF THE U.S. THIRD FLEET HAS DIRECTED A PRELIMINARY HEARING TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE SAILOR WILL FORCE A COURT-MARTIAL FOR ARSON.

NO HEARING DATE HAS BEEN SET.

A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ARSON INVESTIGATORS SAYS IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR SOMEONE WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION TO COMMIT ARSON.

>> IT IS VERY HARD TO PREVENT UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME INFORMATION COME OUT AHEAD OF TIME THAT SOMEBODY IS PLANNING TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND THEN YOU CAN KIND OF SURVEILLING KEEP TRACK OF THEM.

BUT, IT IS VERY HARD TO PREVENT STUFF LIKE THIS FROM HAPPENING.

>> UNITS FROM AROUND SAN DIEGO WAS CALLED IN TO FIGHT THE FIRE.

A SEPARATE COMMAND INVESTIGATION WILL OUTLINE WHAT LESSONS THE NAVY CAN TAKE AWAY FROM THE FIRE.

STEVE WALSH, KPBS NEWS.

>> SOME SOUTHBAY SCHOOLS ARE DEALING WITH COVID CASES A WEEK INTO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR.

>>> SCHOOLS IN THE SOUTH BAY WITH THE FIRST TO OPEN FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR, AND THEY ARE THE FIRST TO HAVE POSITIVE COVID-19 CASES.

>> YOU HAVE GOT FULL CLASSROOMS WITH NO PHYSICAL DISTANCING, SO KIDS ARE IN CLOSE CONTACT.

>> BOB MUELLER IS THE ASSISTANT INCIDENT COMMANDER FOR COVID-19 RESPONSE FOR SAN DIEGO OFFICE OF EDUCATION AND SAID AFTER A POSITIVE COVID-19 TEST HAS BEEN REPORTED, NOTIFICATION IS SENT OUT TO THE WHOLE SCHOOL OR TO THOSE WHO CAME IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH THE AFFECTED INDIVIDUALS.

>> THE IDEA IS JUST TO RAISE AWARENESS TO MONITOR FOR SYMPTOMS, AND TO REAFFIRM THAT GOOD PREVENTION BEHAVIOR IS NECESSARY.

>> THE NEXT STEP IS CONTACT TRACING, WHICH IS COMPLICATED IN STUDENTS MOVING ALL DAY AND THAT ARE INVOLVED WITH STUDENT ACTIVITIES.

>> THEY HAVE TO IDENTIFY ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN WITHIN 6 FEET FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES OVER 24 HOUR PERIOD.

>> SCHOOLS HAVE OPTIONS FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO SOMEONE WITH COVID-19.

IF A STUDENT QUARANTINES AT HOME, SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE PROVIDING AN INDEPENDENT STUDY OPTION.

THERE IS AN IMPORTANT OF VACCINATION FOR CHILDREN OVER 12 YEARS OLD.

SO I GET THEM VACCINATED TO KEEP THEM IN SCHOOL TO KEEP THEM FROM MISSING SPORTS, COMPETITIONS, AND PRACTICES AND PERFORMANCES IN THE PERFORMING ARTS.

>> EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA THE CITY SAYS WITH RESEARCH SHOWING THAT THE DELTA VARIANT IS CIRCULATING, IT IS IMPORTANT TO OBEY PUBLIC GUIDELINES.

>> OVER 99% OF COVID-19 DEATHS HAVE BEEN AMONG THE UNVACCINATED.

99%.

THIS IS AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY.

PEOPLE ARE DYING, AND WILL DIE WHO DON'T HAVE TO DIE.

>> THE PRESIDENT HOPES THE GUIDELINES WILL SET UP RESIDENCE AROUND THE COUNTRY AND IS CALLING ON STATES TO USE FEDERAL RELIEF FUNDS TO OFFER $100 TO ANYONE WHO GETS FULLY VACCINATED.

THERE ARE SOME PROMISING SIGNS AS THE LATEST CDC DATA SHOWS AN INCREASE OVER LAST WEEK IN VACCINATIONS.

>>> LOCAL LEADERS ARE COMMITTING TO A FUTURE WITH ZERO EMISSIONS FROM TRANSPORTATION.

KPBS REPORTER HAS MORE ON THE NEW ACTION PLAN TO INCREASE ELECTRIC VEHICLES ON THE ROAD BY 2030.

>>> CALIFORNIA'S CLEAN TRANSPORTATION GOAL IS TO HAVE 8 MILLION ZERO EMISSIONS VEHICLES BY 2030.

SAN DIEGO WOULD NEED TO INCREASE ITS CARS ON THE ROAD BY MORE THAN 700,000 ELECTRICAL VEHICLES.

A-TO-Z, WHICH STANDS FOR ACCELERATE TO ZERO OMISSION IS COMMITTED TO MAKING THAT HAPPEN.

SAN DIEGO ELECTRIC IS ONE OF THEM HOPING THAT WITH BETTER INFRASTRUCTURE AND WERE CHARGING STATIONS, RESIDENTS WILL TRANSITION TO HYBRID AND ELECTRIC CARS.

>> DECOLONIZING TRANSPORTATION IS AN ELEMENT IN CLIMATE ACTION PLANS AND ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT.

THE CITY'S TRANSPORTATION POLLUTION IS OF GREAT CONCERN.

>> IT MAKES UP ABOUT 40% OF THE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IN THE STATE, AND IT IS EVEN WORTH AND SAN DIEGO.

APPROXIMATELY 55% OF OUR GREENHOUSE GAS INITIATIVE COMES FROM THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR.

>> THE MAYOR IS WORKING TO REACH ZERO EMISSIONS BY 2035 AND SAYS CLEAN TRANSPORTATION IS ALSO ABOUT IMPROVING PUBLIC HEALTH.

>> THIS IS ALSO ABOUT EQUITY COMING AND WE RECOGNIZE OUR CLIMATE CRISIS IS IMPACTING COMMUNITIES OF CONCERN.

>> SHE HAS SEEN THE HEALTH IMPACTS IN HER DISTRICT.

>> OTHER COMMUNITIES ALSO EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS DUE TO THE MOVEMENT OF GOODS.

MAGNATES OF THE COLLABORATIVE INCLUDE STAKEHOLDERS FROM THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, THE CITY, AND THE AIR POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT.

>> OUR STORY TRAINING TO MORE OF THE SAME OF THE NEXT FEW DAYS WHILE DRY WEATHER CONTINUES AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT MONSOONAL WISTER, ONE THING THAT IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IS MOUNTAIN RAIN SHOWERS WE HAVE SEEN OFTEN ON OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS.

WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A DRYER PATTERN HERE ACROSS THE REGION.

NOTICE NOT A WHOLE LOT HAPPENING OUT THERE TONIGHT.

JUST A FEW CLOUDS AND TEMPERATURE FALLING INTO THE 60s.

MOUNT LAGUNA COMING IN AT 67.

VENTURING THROUGH TIME, SOME OF THE STRAIGHT CLOUDS, ALL OF THE SPOTTY SHOWER ACTIVITY IS WELL OFF TO OUR EAST TOWARDS THE BORDER, SO WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT MUCH POTENTIAL FOR THE.

>> THE MOISTURE IS GOING TO BE AIMED NEAR THE SALT LAKE CITY AREA.

THE REST OF US HAS AN UPPER- LEVEL SYSTEM THAT IS GOING TO KEEP MORE SUPPRESSION OF RAINFALL.

AGAIN, LIMITED IN THE WAY OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN OUR AREA.

SAN DIEGO, 77 FOR THAT HIGH AND THE SAME THING FOR OCEANSIDE.

AS YOU WORK YOUR WAY OFF TO THE EAST, 103 WITH A COUPLE OF CLOUDS OUT THERE BUILDING IN BUT AGAIN NOT ABLE TO SQUEEZE OUT THE RAINFALL.

THE COAT HANGING OUT IN THE 70s OR LOWER 80s AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.

A PRETTY PEACEFUL TIME WITH INLAND LOCATION SCREWS INTO THE UPPER 80s AND LOWER 90s TO THE AFTERNOON.

NOT MUCH CHANGING AS WE VENTURE INTO MONDAY OR TUESDAY EITHER.

FOR MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS, JUST A FEW CLOUDS OUT THERE.

COULD THERE BE A THUNDERSTORM AROUND TOMORROW?

POSSIBLY.

I THINK IT IS PRETTY LIMITED BUT THE DESERT IS STAYING LARGELY DRY, ESPECIALLY AS WE GET THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

>>> CHILDCARE CENTERS WERE HIT HARD ACROSS THE COUNTRY DURING THE PANDEMIC.

THEIR TROUBLES ARE NOT GOING AWAY IT HAS BEEN A ROUGH PAST YEAR AND HOW -- PAST YEAR AND A HALF, SO THEY WERE EXCITED FOR MILES FIRST DAY AT A NEW PRESCHOOL LAST WEEK, BUT THEIR EXCITEMENT DIDN'T LAST LONG.

>> THEN HE CALLED, YOU NEED A NEGATIVE COVID TEST.

AFTER ONE DAY AT SCHOOL MILES WAS HOME AGAIN.

HE WENT BACK ON FRIDAY BUT ON SATURDAY THEY GOT MORE BAD NEWS.

>> I GET A CALL FROM THE YMCA AND LONG STORY SHORT, ONE OF THE KIDS OVER THE WEEKEND TESTED POSITIVE, AND THE KID WAS AT SCHOOL ON FRIDAY, SO MILES WAS EXPOSED.

SO, HIS CLASS IS AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN FOR TWO WEEKS.

>> THEY ARE BACK TO REALITY THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD MOVED PAST TRYING TO WORK FROM HOME WHILE TAKING CARE OF MILES AND HIS YOUNGER SISTER, AMELIA.

THOUGH AMELIA WASN'T EXPOSED, THEY ARE ALSO KEEPING HER HOME FOR TWO WEEKS.

>> ABBY IS UPSTAIRS WORKING NORMALLY, AND I AM JUST STUCK DOWN STAIRS WITH THE DEVILS.

>> AT MOST CHILDCARE CENTERS, IT STILL LOOKS LIKE 2020.

KIDS 12 AND UNDER ARE UNVACCINATED, FOR EVERYONE AGES 2 AND UPPER WEARING MASKS.

PROVIDERS ARE STILL TAKING OTHER PRECAUTIONS, WHICH IS HARD ON THEIR BUSINESS.

SO SAYS IN EARLY EDUCATION AND CHILDCARE PROVIDER.

>> SOME ARE CHOOSING TO SERVE FEWER KIDS WERE IN GROUPS THAT MAKE IT HARDER TO STAFF.

AND, ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE REDUCING THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF REVENUE THAT THEY CAN PULL IN FOR THEIR BUSINESS.

ALREADY, THESE ARE BUSINESSES OPERATING ON THEN TO NONEXISTENT MARGINS.

>> THE OWNER OF DISCOVERY PRESCHOOL IN OCEANSIDE SAYS SHE IS NOT AT 70% CAPACITY, SHE IS ALLOWING GROUPS OF KIDS TO MIX IN THE MORNING AND EVENINGS SO SHE CAN EXTEND HER HOURS.

BUT, SHE CAN COUNT ON CONSISTENCY, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THE DELTA VARIANT IS CAUSING CASES TO SURGE AGAIN.

>> I'M JUST SO WORRIED THAT THINGS ARE GOING TO GO BACK IN THE OTHER DIRECTION AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ASK ALL OF THESE OTHER PEOPLE THAT STARTED NOW THAT YOU HAVE TO LEAVE, YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ELSE.

>> MANY PROVIDERS ARE STRUGGLING TO HIRE NEW STAFF.

SHE HAS HAD TO PASS ON COSTS TO PARENTS.

HOLLY WEBER, THE OWNER OF MAGIC OUR CHILDREN CENTER SAYS SHE IS AT 60% CAPACITY NOW, AND SHE IS STUCK AT THAT LEVEL, BECAUSE SHE CAN'T HIRE MORE QUALIFIED STAFF.

IT DOESN'T MAKE WEBER FEEL MUCH BETTER.

>> WHAT IF WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PARENTS WHO ARE UNCOMFORTABLE TO VACCINATE THEIR CHILD, HOW MUCH LONGER ARE THESE RESTRICTIONS GOING TO AFFECT CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTERS?

>> ONE POSITIVE IS MASKS HAVE CUT DOWN ON THE TYPICAL ILLNESSES AND WEBER SAYS SHE PLANS TO USE THEM WELL INTO THE FUTURE DURING COLD AND FLU SEASON, BUT SHE IS WORRIED ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACTS.

>> WE HAVE TWO-YEAR-OLD THAT HAS NEVER SEEN THE FACES OF THEIR CAREGIVERS.

>> HAVING KIDS AT HOME WHO ARE NOT VACCINATED WILL BE VACCINATED FOR PROBABLY ANOTHER YEAR, I'M GOING TO WEAR A MASK.

I'M GOING TO WEAR A MASK LIKE NOTHING HAS CHANGED, BECAUSE NOTHING HAS.

>>RESIDENTS SAY CROPS ARE CAUSING MAJOR HEALTH PROBLEMS.

>> OF GREENHOUSES PROCESS ALONG SIDE A STRETCH OF HARM IN SUBURBAN ENCINITAS.

THE FAMILY HAS DEALT WITH DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, AND SERIOUS RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS SINCE OCTOBER.

>> IMAGINE BEING WOKEN UP AT 2:00 IN THE MORNING AND LOSING LUNG CAPACITY FEELING THAT YOU CAN'T BREATHE.

THAT IS WHAT WE WENT THROUGH, AND I'M NOT AGAINST HEMP.

I AM NOT AGAINST GROWING BUSINESSES.

IF THAT WERE THE CASE, I WOULD'VE COLLECTED MONEY FOR LAWSUITS LONG AGO.

WE JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO BREATHE CLEAN AIR.

>> FOR MONTHS, NEIGHBORS HAVE BEGGED THE CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIALS FOR HELP ONLY TO HAVE BOTH SAY IT IS THE OTHERS PROBLEM.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY HAS NO RESTRICTIONS IN PLACE FOR HEMP FARMS.

>> ALL YOU WANT HIS HELP, AND ALL WE WERE DOING WAS GETTING BRUSHED OFF, AND BEING TOLD IT IS THE COUNTY'S RESPONSIBILITY, AND IN THE COUNTY WITH SAY IT IS THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITY.

>> TO TRY AND COMBAT CONCERNS IF FILTERS THE GREENHOUSES WARM AND THEY BLOCK THE WIND.

>> I THINK THAT IT IS COMPLETE GARBAGE BUT THEY ARE ACCUSING US OF BASED ON ZERO EVIDENCE.

LITERALLY, IT IS FAKE NEWS.

THEY ARE MAKING STUFF UP.

THEY ARE CLAIMING THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON THAT THEY CANNOT POSSIBLY ATTRIBUTE TO THIS, AND THEY HAVE NO EVIDENCE THAT ANY OF THIS IS RELATED TO ANY OF THE SYMPTOMS THAT HAVE SUDDENLY MATERIALIZED THAT HAVE FAILED TO MATERIALIZE AMONGST OUR STAFF.

>> NOW THEY ARE SHUTTING DOWN AND RELOCATING TO VISTA, BUT THE ISSUES HAVE NOT ENDED.

THE STATE AND FEDERAL EPA ARE SAMPLING THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THE COUNTY IS INVESTIGATING THE FARM FOR PESTICIDE EXPOSURE.

>>> I NEWS SOURCES IS AN INDEPENDENTLY NONPROFIT PARTNER OF KPBS.

>>> TONIGHT, A NATIONWIDE PUSH TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GET THE SHOT AND STAY SAFE TO STEM THIS SEARCH FOR COMING UP AT SEVEN AFTER EVENING EDITION ON KPBS.

>> WELCOME TO TIKI OASIS.

>> SO, VERY COMFORTABLE LIKE CLOTHING IN GENERAL.

>> IT IS JUST A BUNCH OF CRAZY COOKIE MIDCENTURY TROPICAL FAKE TROPICAL POLYNESIAN WACKINESS, AND IT IS JUST A BLAST.

>> THERE IS ONE THING TIKI OASIS NOT, AND IT IS ABOUT FASHION, COCKTAILS, AND MOST OF ALL, ESCAPE.

FOR TWO DECADES, TIKI OASIS HAS POSTED THAT THEY WILL QUENCH YOUR THIRST.

>> IT IS JUST FIVE DAYS FULL OF FUN, MUSIC, DRINKS, AND MAINTAINING AN OASIS IN A WORLD STILL DEALING WITH COVID-19 FACING MOUNTED -- MOUNTING SOCIAL INJUSTICE AND DIFFERENCES, IT IS A CHALLENGE.

>> THERE ARE REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS THAT ARE OUT THERE.

>> TIKI OASIS CREATED THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COUNSEL.

>> FELL, THE DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COUNSEL WAS CREATED LAST YEAR, AND WE AS A GROUP CAME TOGETHER, AND WE FELT LIKE WE WANTED THE EVENT TO THE SAFE AND INCLUSIVE, AND JUST FOR ALL ATTENDEES TO FEEL LIKE THEY BELONG HERE.

>> AT ITS CORE, IT IS ABOUT ESCAPING THE REALITY.

>> AS A CHILD, I USED TO SEE THE BARS THAT WERE HIDDEN WITHIN CHINESE RESTAURANTS.

THEY WERE OMINOUS WITH COLORED LIGHTING AND SOME OF THEM WERE REAL AND SOME OF THEM WERE FAKE.

BUT AS A CHILD AT ABOUT SEVEN YEARS OLD, I NOTICED THESE COOL LITTLE TIKI MUGS THEY WERE DRINKING OUT OF.

AS A CHILD, I WAS SO FASCINATED WITH THAT.

THAT IS REALLY WHERE IT STARTED FOR ME.

>> THIS IS SOME CERAMIC MONSTER THAT I MAKE.

THIS IS BASED ON EXISTING MOVIE MONSTERS FOR THE MOST PART.
