DARLENE MARCO SHILEY, AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

>> AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>>> GOOD EVENING.

IT IS TUESDAY, MAY 17th, 2021.

IT HAS BECOME A CONTENTIOUS ISSUE.

EVICTION MORATORIUMS AND NOW, IT IS CHULA VISTA TAKING ON THE BATTLE TO PROTECT TENANTS FROM NO FAULT EVICTIONS.

HERE IS MORE WHERE A RALLY IS HAPPENING BEFORE CITY LEADERS TAKE THEIR VOTES.

KITTY.

>> Reporter: THAT IS RIGHT.

FIFTY PEOPLE DID SHOW UP AND THE MEETING JUST GOT STARTED.

ONLY A FEW PEOPLE LEFT THAT ARE JUST GIVING INTERVIEWS TO OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS BUT IT IS DEFINITELY A COMPLICATED ISSUE.

LANDLORDS FEEL LIKE THEY ARE TURNED INTO VILLAINS AND REP. TERS FEEL THEY HAVE NO STABILITY BECAUSE THEY HIKE THE RENT AND THEY WANT TO CLOSE THOSE LOOPHOLES AND EXTEND THE EVICTION MORATORIUM PROTECTION BUT OTHERS SAY PASSING THESE ORDINANCES WILL HAVE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.

>>> THEY WILL BE STAINLESS STEEL.

THIS IS GOING FOR A NEW STAINLESS STEEL REFRIGERATOR.

>> HE IS PUTTING IN A LOT OF WORK INTO HIS RENTAL UNIT BUT HE IS AFRAID OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE FOR HIS OTHER RENTALS WHEN IT COMES TIME TO FIX THEM UP.

>> IT WAS GETTING REALLY DATED AND A LOT OF THINGS WERE GOING WRONG WITH IT.

THE CITY TOLD ME, NO, YOU LEAVE IT AS A DUMP.

>> Reporter: THAT IS BECAUSE HE SAID THE PROPOSALS PASSED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL IS CONSIDERING THAT WOULD PROTECT TEN THATS FOR NO-FAULT EVICTIONS AND HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM IN ADVANCE IF HE WANTS THEM TO MOVE TO FIX UP A PLACE.

>> YOU HAVE TO PAY THEM TWO MONTHS OF RELOCATION IF YOU GIVE THEM A NOTICE TO MOVE.

>> Reporter: HE SAID IT IS NOT REALISTIC AND IT COULD CAUSE HIM TO DO BIS THIS ELSEWHERE IF THEY PASS.

>> IT IS SENDING A MESSAGE TO ME THAT THIS CITY MAY NOT BE THE BEST PLACE TO CONTINUE TO BE A LANDLORD IN.

>> Reporter: BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT, MIRIAM AND HER TWO CHILDREN.

>> WHERE CAN I MOVE?

WHERE?

>> Reporter: SHE SAYS HER COMPLEX HAS CHANGED HANDS MANY TIMES AND THE NEW IAN NERS GAVE HER NOTICE TO MOVE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO REMODEL AND THE REQUIREMENTS TO LIVE THERE SEEM IMPOSSIBLE TO MEET.

>> I DON'T WANT -- NOBODY LISTENS TO US.

THE OWNER ONLY LOOKS AT NUMBERS, DOLLAR SYMBOLS.

WE'RE DOLLAR, MONEY, FOR THE OWNER.

>> Reporter: SHE IS BLEEDING PLEADING WITH THE CITY COUNCIL.

>> HOW MANY MORE DO WE HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM.

>> A LOT OF THESE ORDINANCES SOUND GOOD ON PAPER MAYBE TO SOME, BUT THEY WILL HAVE UP IN TENDND CONSEQUENCES.

>> Reporter: CHULA VISTA COUNCIL MEMBER IS SYMPATHETIC TO THE CONCERNS ON BOTH SIDES BUT HAS SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THESE PROPOSALS.

IT WILL MAKE THEM IMPOSSIBLE TO RENOVATE AND PLACE BUR DEPS BURDENS TO ENFORCE.

>> THEY WILL HAVE TO REGULATE SOMETHING THAT IS ALREADY REGULATED BY THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

AND THAT COST WILL HAVE TO BE SPREAD AMONGST ALL RENTAL UNITS IN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA SO, IN EFFECT, THE COST TO RENT WILL GO UP.

>> Reporter: AND THE GROUP THAT IS HERE SUPPORTING -- THAT ORGANIZED THIS RALLY SAID ABOUT 30 RENTERS FROM HERE IN CHULA VISA SIGNED UP TO SPEAK DURING PUBLIC COMMENT AND THERE ARE A LOT OF LANDLORDS HERE THAT ALSO WANT TO COMMENT SO THIS WILL BE A VERY LENGTHY MEETING.

WE'LL STAY HERE AND MONITOR THE MEETING AND BRING YOU UPDATES SO STAY WITH KPBS.ORG.

REPORTING LIVE, KITTY ALVARADO.

BACK TO YOU IN THE STUDIO.

>>> PRESIDENT BIDEN AND THE FIRST LADY PAID THEIR RESPECTS TO THOSE FAMILIES WHERE THEY HAD SOMEONE GUNNED DOWN.

THE PRESIDENT TOOK AIM AT TERRORISTS, HATE AND GUN LAWS.

HERE IS MORE.

>>> IN AMERICA, EVIL WILL NOT WIN, I PROMISE YOU.

HATE WILL NOT WIN.

>> HE MOURNED STILL REELING FROM SATURDAY'S DEADLY ATTACK.

HE MET WITH FIRST RESPONDERS AND NOSE WHOSE LOVED ONES WERE KILLED.

THE SELF-PROCLAIMED WHITE SUP PRIM MUST TARGETED BECAUSE IT SERVED A PREDOMINANTLY BLACK COMMUNITY.

>> THE MORE INFORMATION I HEAR, THE MORE SAD I BEGIN TO FEEL IS WE COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB AND AVERTED THIS.

>> Reporter: SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS SHOWED HE SPENT MONTHS LOCKING INTO THE A FACT AND GOING THERE.

>> THERE WERE LAYERS THAT MISSED THESE CUES THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS RADICALIZED.

HE HAD THIS SET UP FOR THREE, FOUR MONTHS AND THIS IS THE FALLOUT OF IT.

RESEARCH HE CALLED IT DOMESTIC TERRORISM AND CONDEMNED THAT THAT MOTIVATED THE ATTACK.

>> WHITE SUPREMACY IS A POISON.

IT HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO FESTER AND GROW IN FRONT OF OUR EYES.

WE HAVE TO STAY AS CLEARLY AS WE CAN, IT HAS NO PLACE IN AMERICA.

>> Reporter: UNBOVE LOW, KPBS NEWS.

>>> IT WAS A CHURCH LUNCHEON TO HONOR A PASTOR AND IT ENDED IN A GUNMAN THAT OPENED FIRE IN LAGUNA WOODS AND HE WAS CHARGED.

A DOCTOR WHO CHARGED THE GUNMAN WAS KILLED AND FIVE PEOPLE WERE INJURED.

THE MURDER CHARGE HAS THE POSSIBILITY OF A DEATH SENTENCE.

THE FBI OPENED A HATE CRIME INVESTIGATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN FEDERAL COUNTS.

A A THE F.D.

FDA IS OFFERING SHOTS FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN.

>> Reporter: THE FDA SAYS PFIZER'S COVID-19 BOOSTER DOSE IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE FOR KIDS 5 TO 11 AND I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THIS.

THE DOCTOR IS MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES AT THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.

WITH COVID CASES INCREASING ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND IN SAN DIEGO, HE SAYS THEY ARE TREATING MORE SICK KIDS.

>> IF YOU AREN'T PERFECTLY HEALTHY, THIS VIRUS CAN REALLY MAKE YOU SICK, SO WE'RE SEEING OUR NUMBERS, THE CASES ARE GOING UP, THE HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE GOING UP.

>> Reporter: THE FDA SAYS IT IS LARGELY TRUE THAT COVID IMPACTS KIDS AND SENDING MORE KIDS TO THE HOSPITAL AND THERE IS LONG TERM IMPACTS THAT ARE NOT FULLY KNOWN YET.

>> WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT THOSE.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE.

>> Reporter: HE SAID BOOSTERS FOR KIDS ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE VACCINE'S PROTECTION WANES.

>> IF WE'RE GOING TO CONTROL OMICRON SPREAD IN THE COMMUNITY, I THINK GETTING THESE BOOSTERS INTO CHILDREN WILL BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL.

>> THE CDC STILL NEEDS TO RECOMMEND PFIZER'S BOOSTER FOR THOSE 5 TO 11 AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT COULD HAPPEN IN A MATTER OF DAYS.

VACCINATED THE YOUNGEST KIDS HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE.

43% OF 5 TO 11 HAVE GOTTEN AT LEAST ONE DOSE, FAR BEHIND OTHER AGE GROUPS.

>> WE'RE NOT SURE EXACTLY WHY PARENTS ARE NOT GETTING THEM VACCINATED.

>> Reporter: HE SAID IT COULD BE MISINFORMATION OR THE GENERAL NOTION THAT KIDS ARE NOT AS IMPACTED BY COVID.

THE FDA SAYS THE BENEFITS OF THE BOOSTER OUTWEIGH ANY KNOWN RISKS.

THE MOST COMMON SIDE EFFECT DURING TRIUMPHS WAS PAIN ALONG THE AREA OF THE SHOT OR HEADACHES.

>>> BABY FORMULA SHORTAGE.

THERE ARE STILL PLACES FOR SOME SAN DIEGO'S MOST VULNERABLE FAMILIES TO FIND THEIR BRAND.

JACOB SAYS IT COMES AS THE FDA REACHED AN AGREEMENT THAT COULD REOPEN A CRUCIAL BABY FORMULA PLANT TO HELP EASE SUPPLY ISSUES.

>> WE HAVE OUR SIMILAC.

>> Reporter: THE NATION IS FACING AN UNPRECEDENTED SHORTAGE THAT LEFT GROCERY AISLES EMPTY AND CAUSED AN INCREASE IN PRICES.

A WE'RE NOTICING A LOT MORE CUSTOMERS LOOKING FOR FORMULA.

>> Reporter: THE AFFECTS ARE NOT THE SAME EVERYWHERE.

SHE IS THE MARKETING MANAGER.

IT IS A COMPANY THAT SPECIALIZES IN PRODUCTS FOR INFANTS AND TODDLERS.

>> EVERY CUSTOMER THAT HAS COME IN ASKS DO YOU HAVE THE FORMULA.

ANEED THIS OR THAT.

FOR ME TO SAY YES, WE DO, IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY AND IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE WE'RE HELPING OUR COMMUNITY.

>> Reporter: THEY SELL THOSE FOR THE NUTRITION PROGRAM FOR WOMEN FOR WI C, LOW INCOME, BREASTFEEDING AND NON-BREAST-FEEDING AND INFANTS AND CHILDREN UP TO AGE FIVE AT NUTRITIONAL RISK.

SHE ALSO SELLS HER GOODS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

>> WE'RE ON THIS SHORTAGE AND WE WILL SELL ONE FORMULA WITH CASH, DEBIT OR CREDIT AND WITH WI C WE CAN FULFILL THE WHOLE ORDER.

>> SHE SAYS THERE HAS BEEN CONCERN FROM CUSTOMERS BUT SO FAR THEY CAN DELIVER ON THEIR ORDERS.

>> WE HAD A CUSTOMER THAT RECENTLY CAME IN AND WE WERE VERY TOUCHED BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND PEDIASURE ANYWHERE AND THIS CHILD IS BEING FED B2 SO FOR THEM TO FIND IT HERE MADE US FEEL SO HAPPY THAT WE'RE SERVING OUR COMMUNITY AND HELPING THESE CHILDREN.

>> Reporter: SHE SAID WI C PARTICIPANTS HAVE THEIR COSTS ONLY COVERED THROUGH THE PROGRAM.

WHILE HER COMPANY HAS BEEN ABLE TO FULFILL ALL THE CUSTOMERS ORDERS, SHE IS UNSURE WHAT THE FUTURE WILL BRING FOR THE BABY FORMULA SUPPLY.

KPBS NEWS.

>>> A HOME IS NOT A HOTEL BUT IT HAS FELT LIKE THAT FOR MANY YEARS IN THE BEACH COMMUNITIES.

THERE ARE NEW RULES TO THE SHORT TERM RENTALS.

CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AND OTHERS TOOK PART TODAY.

HER DISTRICT INCLUDES NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE HOMES BOOKED THROUGH AIRBNB HAVE BECOME A NUISANCE.

>> WE DON'T WANT TO THROW OUT THE BABY WITH THE BATH WATER THAT A SYSTEM WOULD BE NEEDED SO WE COULD PROTECT THE TRADITIONNAL FAMILY VACATION, BUT KIND OF ERADICATE THE BACHELOR PARTIES.

>>> TODAY'S ACTION IS TO FINALIZE A PROCESS THAT STARTED MORE THAN A YEAR AGO, BUT REQUIRED STATE APPROVAL.

THE NEW RULES WOULD TAKE AFFECT IN THE FALL.

IT IS FOR HOME RENTALS AND GIVING PRIORITY TO OWNERS WHO ABIDE BY CITY LAWS.

>> IT IS KNOWN AS AMERICAN'S MOST HAUNTED HOUSE, BUT A FACT ABOUT THE HOUSE IN OLDE TOWN IS THAT IT ONCE SERVED AS THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT IN SAN DIEGO.

HOW IT BECAME A PLACE FOR OFFICIAL BUSINESS ONCE, AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 151 YEARS.

>>> THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THE CENTER OF SAN DIEGO WAS OLD TOWN, BACK WHEN WHAT IS TODAY DOWNTOWN WAS CALLED NEW TOWN.

BACK THEN IN THE MID- TO LATE 1800s THIS WAS THE CENTER OF IT ALL, THE WHALELY HOUSE, NOW KNOWN ACROSS THE WORLD AS AMERICA'S MOST HAUNTED HOUSE.

NOT SURE HOW THEY GAUGE THAT BUT THAT IS THE GAME.

>> TODAY THE GHOSTS ARE GETTING A BREAK BECAUSE TODAY AND FOR TODAY ONLY, BEHIND THIS DOOR, IS THE OFFICIAL HOME OF SAN DIEGO'S SUPERIOR COURT DEPARTMENT 68.

>> ALL RISE.

>> THE HONORABLE RICHARD WHITNEY PRESIDING.

>> GOOD MORNING.

>> Reporter: IT SERVED AS SAN DIEGO'S ONE AND ONLY COURTHOUSE FROM 1868 TO 1871.

IT WAS THE CITY'S SECOND COURTHOUSE.

THE FIRST ONE JUST A COUPLE BLOCKS AWAY.

BRINGING COURT BACK TO THE GRAND OLD PLACE WAS A DREAM COME TRUE FOR THE JUDGE.

>> IT IS AN EXCITING DAY.

THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF PREPARATION TO BRING THIS COURTROOM BACK TO LIFE.

>> Reporter: BEING A JUDGE IN THOSE DAYS WAS A TOUGH BUSINESS A GROUP OF THEM HAD TO TRAVEL BETWEEN SAN DIEGO, LOS ANGELES AND SAN BERNARDINO ON HORSEBACK, EACH JOURNEY TAKING SEVERAL DAYS AND THERE WERE TOUGH CASES HEARD IN THIS COURT.

>> [ INAUDIBLE ] >>> THERE WERE EXCUSES CONDUCTED RIGHT ON SITE FOLLOWING THE SENTENCING.

>> NOTHING SO DRAMATIC ON THIS DAY.

>> THE COURT WILL COME TO ORDER.

>> Reporter: THE JUDGE PRESIDED OVER A FEW CIVIL CASES BEFORE ADJOURNING THE COURT PROCEEDINGS HELD HERE IN 151 YEARS.

WHY HOLD COURT HERE TODAY?

NO PARTICULAR REASON.

THE JUDGE SAID HE WANTED TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS PLACE.

AS FOR THE HOUSE AS COURTHOUSE, THAT ENDED WHEN A FIGHT BETWEEN THOMAS WHALEY AND HORTON ENDED WITH A TRIUMPH FOR HORTON IN RELOCATING SAN DIEGO'S COURTHOUSE TOO CLOSE TO WHERE THE COURTHOUSES ARE TODAY.

IT WOULD HEAD IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION EVENTUALLY BECOMING A AMERICA'S MOST HAUNTED HOUSE.

AND A BELOVED LANDMARK IN OLDE TOWN, SAN DIEGO.

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.

>>> AND IF THAT WASN'T SPOOKY ENOUGH FOR YOU, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A HALF CENTURY, A LOSS PANEL IS HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING ON UFOS BUT AS KRISTEN FISHER REPORT; MANY SAY THEY ARE LESS WORRIED ABOUT ALIENS AND MORE CONCERNED ABOUT FOREIGN ADVERSARIES.

>> SEVEN YEARS AFTER NAVY PILOT SPOTTED THIS UNEXPLAINED OBJECT OFF THE AT ATLANTIC COAST.

>> IT IS ROTATING.

>> TOP PENTAGON OFFICIALS WILL BE DRILLED BY THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE SUBCOMMITTEE ON UFOS OR U APs IN MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY.

>> BEFORE TOO LONG, THIS ISSUE WASN'T TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

IT WAS RELEGATED TO SCIENCE FICTION BUT IN A RALE SENSE, U APs PRESENT A REAL NATIONAL SECURITY RISK AND THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE HAS RESPONSIBILITY TO INVESTIGATE.

>> THE HEARING COMES ALMOST A YEAR AFTER THERE WAS A LIKELY ANTICIPATED REPORT THAT EXAMINED 144 REPORTS OF U APs BUT IDENTIFIED ONLY A SINGLE ONE WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A DEGRADED BALLOON, THE OTHERS REMAIN UNEXPLAINED.

>> THE REPORT ALSO DOCUMENTS 11 INSTANCES IN WHICH PILOTS REPORTED NEAR MISSES WITH AU AP.

>> THIS IS NOT TINFOIL, YOU KNOW CONVERSATIONS.

>> HE IS THE FORMER DIRECTOR OF A PENTAGON PROGRAM THAT INVESTIGATED AND HE IS PUSHING FOR MORE TRANSPARENCY EVER SINCE HE LEFT IN 2017.

>> THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE.

SOMETHING IS IN OUR SKIES AND HAS BEEN THERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND NOW WE'RE HAVING A CONVERSATION.

>> UFO'S HIT ABOUT 70 YEARS AGO PUSHING PENTAGON OFFICIALS TO TRY TO EXPLAIN THE UNEXPLAIN NABLE.

>> I'M HERE TO DISCUSS THE SO-CALLED FLYING SAUCER.

>> IN THE 1960s, THEN CONGRESSMAN GERALD FORD ASKED CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE LEADING TO THE LAST PUBLIC HEARINGS ON UFOS.

I BELIEVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE EN TATED TO A MORE THOROUGH EXPLANATION GIVEN TO THEM BY THE AIR FORCE.

BUT PROJECT BLUE BOOK CONCLUDED UFOS WERE NOT EXTRATERRESTRIAL AND DIDN'T POSE PROBLEMS FOR NATIONAL SECURITY.

ANDRE CARSON IS NOW PUSHING FOR SIMILAR ANSWERS.

>> I BELIEVE IT IS IMPORTANT THEY WORK TO DE CLASSIFY SOME OF THIS SO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING.

>> [ LAUGHTER ] >> COULD THESE OBJECTS THAT CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF TRAINED NAVY PILOTS BE PART OF A TOP SEE YET U.S.

PROGRAM, COMING FROM A FOREIGN ADVERSARY, OR SOMEWHERE ELSE?

A WHAT EVER THEY ARE, THE INTELLIGENCE REPORT CON SAIDS A HANDFUL OF U APs APPEAR TO DEMONSTRATE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY.

SOME WITHOUT PROPULSION.

A A THE FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS, THERE IS NO PLATFORM OR ENERGY SOURCE THAT I'M AWARE OF THAT CAN ALLOW SOMETHING TO STAY IN THE AIR AS LONG AS THESE OBJECTS WERE.

>> THE ONLY THING CERTAIN, THEY EXIST.

>> THE BIG QUESTION, WHOSE IS IT, WHAT ARE THE INTENTIONS, FULL CAPABILITIES AND IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN LEARN FROM IT?

>> THEY ARE RAISING RATES TO MEET CALIFORNIA'S CLIMATE GOALS AND INCREASE DEMAND.

THE UTILITIES SUBMITTED A BUDGET ASKING TO RAISE RATES BY AROUND $9 A MONTH FOR ELECTRICITY AND SIMILAR IN 2024.

THEY NEED TO UPGRADE THE GRID TO HANDLE EXPECTED INCREASES IN ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION, INCORPORATE GREEN FUELS AND HARDEN LIBS IN THE BACKCOUNTRY.

>> IN SOME CASES WE'RE UNDERGROUNDING ADDITIONAL LINES ESPECIALLY IN THE BACKCOUNTRY.

YOU KNOW, AND WE'RE ALSO CONTINUING TO PUT UP STRONGER POLES AND WEARS TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE ONE OF OUR FACILITIES CAUSE A FIRE.

A THEY EXPECT ELECTRICITY CONCEPTION TO DOUBLE BY 2045, THE SAME YEAR CALIFORNIA HOPES TO REACH CARBON NEUTRALTY.

THE BLUEPRINT STARTS AN 18 MONTH PROCESS TO ADJUST POWER RATES IN THE REGION.

>>> WE CONTINUE TO SEE COOL AIR OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, COMFORTABLE NEAR THE COAST.

YES, THAT DRY STRETCH OF WEATHER IS GOING TO CONTINUE.

WE'LL BE FOLLOWING A FRONT DOWN THE ROAD.

I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF WE SEE ANY IMPACT FROM THAT LATER ON THIS WEEK AND ESPECIALLY INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

FOR NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TEMPERATURES FALLING BACK INTO THE 50s LATER ON TONIGHT.

OCEANSIDE, SAN DIEGO, CHULA VISTA DROPPING DOWN INTO THE 50s SOUTHEAST AND SIMILAR MOUNT LAGUNA.

YES, THAT ONSHORE FLOW WILL BE PERSISTS INTO WEDNESDAY AND THE FAR INTERIOR WE'LL SEE MORE HEAT.

A LITTLE WARMER ON WEDNESDAY THAN WHAT WE SAW TODAY.

WE'RE GOING TO START TO SEE THE TEMPERATURES GOING BACK DOWN A BIT AS WE GO THROUGH TIME.

LOTS OF SUNSHINE AWAY FROM THE COAST BUT, AGAIN, MORNING LOW CLOUDS AND SOME FOG EVEN WORKING INTO SOME OF THE VALLEY LOCATIONS, OCEANSIDE 69.

NOTICE RAMONA TOPPING OFF AT 83.

AND CLOSE TO THE TRIPLE DIGITS THERE.

SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO SO THAT ONSHORE FLOW RATE INTO OUR AREA AS WE GO THROUGH TIME.

AGAIN, THE NIGHT AND MORNING COASTAL CLOUDS WILL EXTEND IN THE VALLEYS, NOT AS FAR INLAND BY THE TIME WE GET INTO SUNDAY AND ALSO, INTO MONDAY.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE EXTENDED FORECAST AND NOTICE HERE AT THE COAST, WE'LL SEE THE FOG AND THEN THE SUNSHINE, NOT SO MUCH THE CASE LATER THIS WEEKEND AND NEXT WEEK WHEN TEMPERATURES WILL START TO CLIMB.

YOU WORK AWAY FROM THE COAST AND WE'LL SEE THE TEMPERATURES RISE BY SUNDAY.

LESS OF AN ONSHORE FLOW COMPONENT.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT UPPER 60s IN THE MOUNTAINS AND BREEZY CONDITIONS ON FRIDAY.

AND OVER THE DESERT, THE HEAT PEEKING ON THURSDAY.

>>> FOR KPBS NEWS, I'M METEOROLOGIST JUSTIN.

THE FILM FESTIVAL KICKS OFF TODAY.

IT IS THE FIRST IN-PERSON EVENT IN TWO YEARS FOR THE FESTIVAL.

DEDICATED TO THE VETERAN COMMUNITY.

>>> THE FESTIVAL ORIGINALLY STARTED IN WASHINGTON, D.C., BUT IT HAS BEEN IN SAN DIEGO FOR SEVEN YEARS.

THIS YEAR IT FEATURES 26 FILMS BY VETERANS AND ABOUT THE U.S. MILITARY.

FOR FILMMAKERS, IT IS A CHANCE TO REACH A SPECIFIC AUDIENCE AS JACK DIRECTOR OF HERE IS BETTER, A FILM THAT FOCUSES ON PTSD.

IT IS TO REACH VETERANS AND MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY DIRECTLY, TO PROVIDE A SPACE TO BEGIN A CONVERSATION.

I THINK IT IS SO CRITICALLY IMPORTANT.

>> WHAT IS PTSD?

>> POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER.

>> THE FILM FOLLOWS A GROUP OF VETERANS AS THEY TRY TO PUT THEIR LIVES BACK TOGETHER AFTER HAVING PTSD WHICH SOMETIMES CARRIES ASPHYGMIA.

>> EVERY VETERAN WE SPOKE TO ON THE JOURNEY WANTED TO SHARE THEIR STORY AND IT FELT LIKE INSURING THEIR STORY, IT COULD HELP SOMEBODY ELSE.

I THINK THAT IS THE OPPOSITE OF CREATING STIGMA.

IN MY MIND, IT CREATES CONVERSATION AND I THINK IT IS A BRAVE ACT, AN ACT OF TRUST WHEN YOU WORK WITH A FILMMAKER OR FILM MAKING TEAM WHERE YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT STORY WILL LAND OR HOW IT TURNS OUT, BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE MOTIVE VAY FOR FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.

>> WHAT I SAW, WHAT I DID.

>> IT WILL HAVE ONE OF THE VETS IN THE FILM.

THE GI FILM FESTIVAL IS SHOWING FROM NOW THROUGH SATURDAY.

THE FILMS RUN THE GAMUT FROM PERSONAL DOCUMENTARIES TO WAR DRAMAS.

FOR MORE INFORMATION GO TO GI FILM FESTIVAL S DDOT ORG.

STEVE WALSH, KPBS NEWS.

HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS GETTING READY FOR PROM AND FOR GRADUATION.

FOR MANY, THE COST OF THESE CAN BE PRICEY BUT THAT IS UNTIL THE OCEANSIDE POLICE DEPARTMENT GOT INVOLVED.

THE PRINCIPAL LED HIM TO TWO OFFICERS.

HE THOUGHT HE WAS IN TROUBLE, BUT INSTEAD HE FOUND OUT HIS SCHOOL NOMINATED HIM FOR A SPECIAL RECOGNITION.
