went through more than a half dozen top cops in just a decade. abc seven news reporter anser hassan tells us more about the new man for the job. >> oakland's mayor shang tao, has finally picked oakland's new police chief. >> what stands out about chief mitchell is that he's a strong leader and he's really smart. he's a really smart crime fighter who delivers results, and that's what i'm looking for. i'm looking for someone who can deliver results. >> floyd mitchell takes over more than a year after former police chief lauren armstrong was fired. chief mitchell served 25 years as a police officer in kansas city. he then went on to become police chief in the cities of temple and lubbock, texas, where crime rates went down during his tenure. but he left lubbock because of concerns over abandoned 911 calls. he didn't make any excuses, but instead he talked about what he learned from that experience. mayor tao believes that's the type of experience that will help mitchell forge a new path for the department. >> it is a challenge, uh- and i get that and i'm pretty sure chief mitchell understand that

coming into this place, and but, you know, we will work on those challenges. >> sergeant hui win is president of the oakland police officers association. he hasn't met the new police chief, but he says chief mitchell already has the full support of the department. but others in the community are raising concerns. makayla galvez venegas works on violence prevention. she believes the new chief will just be a band-aid to some of the larger issues within opd. >> there's already a preexisting culture and the police department and, the police chief has the administrative power, but they can't shift the entire culture. >> carl chan works with the city's asian population. his concerns center around how an outsider like chief mitchell will come to understand the needs of oakland's diverse communities and a city facing a historic deficit. >> in addition, you know, he has to navigate, you know, through the politics. and it's going to be a very, interesting one. >> but business owner nina joyner says the new chief will provide leadership for a city that is in need of direction.

>> when i see a police officer out on the street, i want them to walk, right. i want them to walk like there's peace in the community. and that's important. and i think the leadership can do that. >> chief mitchell will likely start at the beginning of may in oakland, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> the mayor made it clear tackling crime is priority number one, but mitchell will have a lot to juggle with staffing shortages and a huge budget deficit. abc seven news political insider phil matier laid out how the new chief is in a uniquely challenging spot. >> also, he has to police the police because there is still questions about how the department itself operates. it's a tightrope. he's also going to be an outsider that's coming into a city that had its police chief last. police chief was basically born and raised there and very popular among the population. so he's coming in as an outsider from texas. you put all these things together and it's a tough entry. >> mitchell will be the department's 12th police chief in 20 years. new this morning, alameda county district attorney

interstate 880 is profitable, but car break ins, armed robberies, and theft make it not safe enough to stay in business. city leaders say crime is dropping in that area, with more law enforcement patrols and security at shopping centers, but the doors will still close for good tomorrow. at 1 a.m. all right. have you heard about this japanese snack with mayor breed's face on it? there it is. it showed up at a 7-eleven store in san francisco. and now it's gone viral. it's called onigiri. turns out first the store wasn't selling it, and there's actually no partnership with mayor breed. they were made by a woman who is hoping to get the convenience store to now carry it. abc7 news reporter tara campbell spoke to the creator, and danielle baskin is walking into this 7-eleven on san francisco's sansome street on a mission and the mayor's face on a home made japanese snack. >> i recently went to japan, and if you're not familiar with onigiri, it's this very popular rice ball in a triangle shape

wrapped in seaweed. and i've just dreamed of this being available everywhere in the us. >> so the artist took matters into her own hands this week, making the snacks at home complete with packaging. >> why did you want to have the mayor's face on this? yeah. so i thought that there could be a world in which, like, the mayor tried to get them in san francisco. >> as for the mayor herself, she's not endorsing this product. her office confirming there is no partnership. but that's not slowing danielle down . determined to get onigiri into stores. >> i felt the only way to do it would be to stage that it already existed, versus just walking into 7-eleven and asking, will you buy this? >> and staging it is exactly what she did. she found a spot on this shelf to place the product and rallied her friends to come get in line, posting it all on social media. >> so many people were excited about getting an onigiri, but this sort of spread on the internet as a different world in

which you could purchase them at 7-eleven. >> and as it turns out, that might soon be possible. managing to catch the owner's interest a day after we did this stunt, so many people came in looking for them. >> 30 or 40 people is looking for the same thing triangle sushi, or i think. i think inside the rice. so then i tell her, if do you have so send to me. she said, i will try. >> and so danielle is getting to work. >> and so tonight i'm figuring out the logistics with different commercial kitchens to manufacture them, and she's hoping to make the delivery as soon as possible. but the demand is there. i think people were so excited that this could be a possibility. it's a very good snack. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. >> all right, before we get to weather good news on the waterfront. thanks to the recent storms, officials are doubling the amount of water california agencies will get this year. previously, the state told major contractors to expect 15% of their requests. well, that got

bumped up to 30. california relies heavily on the snowpack for water, and in january, it was just about half of the normal average. now it is at 98% of normal. lisa tracks those totals here locally each week. how's it looking? >> looking pretty good. we are back into the wet weather not only today, tomorrow, but into that last full week of march. it looks like it's going to come back again and that could be our final push. but between now and then we're going to add to a pretty saturated year except for oakland, not quite saturated. and the sierra snowpack, which is near 100% of average, very important for us with two back to back seasons that have been exceptional. live doppler seven. right now you can see all the smattering of showers across the bay. heavier rain has been in the east bay. check out san ramon in danville down through the 680 corridor. very wet weather here. stone valley road. and then you see it extends to the south and the west, shafer

valley road. and also it gets a little bit more widespread, more isolated here as you get to the bay shore. but in the south bay this is where we're looking at some pretty good rain from the santa cruz mountains and into san francisco. 280 looking at the lighter rain, but we've had some pretty good downpours up in the north bay from lagunitas to san rafael. and you can see sonoma highway 12. so that's going to be the order of the day, even some sun out there. look at emeryville. it is 53, in san francisco, oakland, 50 two half moon bay. everybody is in the low 50s and look at the stormy view from our exploratorium camera. gray sky 48, petaluma, 51. in livermore, we've had the breezy winds compared to 24 hours ago. 2 to 7 degrees colder after that, cold front moved on through gorgeous view of the oakland airport. chance of a thunderstorm. wet and windy today. that continues into the first portion of your sunday and then things will settle down. still cool though for the afternoon. we're dry. second half of the sunday, monday, tuesday. there's a brief

break and then another round of wet weather for wednesday, thursday and friday. the order of the day won't be raining all day. we'll see some sun. we'll see some of those thunderheads develop and the possibility of the downpours. and you'll notice this is 430 and we've got scattered showers once again leading through the evening hours. it's going to take us right on through early sunday. rainfall amounts not too impressive anywhere from a couple hundredths to perhaps a quarter of an inch. it depends if you're under one of those heavier downpours. if you are, you could see some hail and that isolated thunderstorm, 20 mile an hour winds common up to 25 and 30 throughout the day today. and then as that last system exits, we'll get into windy conditions again for sunday. so that's going to stay with us for a raw afternoon. but at least we get a little bit of a break from the rain. the snow keeps going in the mountains. we're up to a foot of snow for parts of kirkwood, maybe donner, ten inches. highs today from the upper 50s for most, maybe a few low 60s. isolated thunderstorm. the accuweather seven day

to your old home? >> yeah. >> not really. as mayor, he was often characterized as being overly frank. whose idea was this? and still today, somewhat nonchalant. how about you? do you like it? what? the statue. >> yeah. it's all right. >> yeah. brown was born in mineola, texas, a segregated town where the birth of many black people went unrecorded. it wasn't until his college days at san francisco state that he finally obtained a birth certificate. as he attempted to make inroads in his career, brown quickly discovered a city dominated by an old boys network, and it was almost like a club, almost like a fraternity . >> he not available to black people in most cases. >> yet despite those challenges, his political trajectory consisted of many firsts. he was among the first black state assembly members, the first black speaker of the assembly, and the first african american

mayor of san francisco. >> local government is where things actually happen. >> in 2008, he established the willie l brown junior fellowship program with the purpose of placing students from san francisco state who otherwise wouldn't have a chance to work in city government. >> the willie brown fellowship really serves as like this tool that allows students to be in these agencies and have their voices heard and really impact policies that are influencing them and their families and their friends and folks that look like them to bring people in who embodied the diversity of the city. >> 12 undergraduate students are selected among many applicants working in city government 16 hours a week for an entire semester. each student receives a stipend of $3,000. the goal for many is to get a permanent job with the city once they graduate. >> we have students who maybe were fellows in 2018. in 2008 and 2021 who are now working in

city agencies, alondra esquivel garcia was a willie brown fellow who is now the director of the san francisco youth commission. >> i basically help advise 17 youth from across the city to advise the mayor and the board of supervisors on anything youth related. nowadays, it's housing, homelessness, transportation, city planning, food insecurity, you name it. >> jessica campos was also a prior fellow and she now works full time for the human rights commission. >> the willie brown fellowship, gave me an opportunity to know people. >> happy birthday to you. happy birthday, birthday to you. >> how do you want these kids to remember you? let's say five, ten, 20 years from now? >> i want them to replicate what i've done. and if i inspired you

talking about. we have like a 14 to 18 hour smoke, and then after that we hold our briskets for anywhere between 12 and 15 hours before serving. >> it's a craft that sammy has perfected by studying youtube videos and working with texas pitmasters, a unique style of food for surfaced, but he's proud to bring new flavors. >> my background is from india, so you know you don't really get that smoked flavor, in indian food, you know, indian food is great on its own, but it's a whole different flavor profile. >> and it's popular at these kinds of festivals. a place where sammy got his start cooking for big crowds at the end of ramadan. >> we have a huge festival called eid, and i had signed up to be one of the vendors. i thought, you know, maybe i'll sell 5100 burgers and, you know, make a little bit of cash on the side, i prepared for 200 burgers, and i was the first vendor to sell out this time, sammy is ready to serve alongside the other vendors with so much tension surrounding the community, organizer irfan ridwan hopes their food can be a unifying force for all.

cancer, the way we do that is we offer summer programing, summer camps for, children with cancer, their siblings and their families. >> now, the okitsu annual gala fundraiser is tonight, and abc seven is a proud sponsor. it's incredible to see the money raised from this event go towards helping kids go to camp. who otherwise could not afford to. can you talk about some of the camps that are offered, what it's like, and why it's so powerful for these kids? >> thank you. stephanie. yes it's so powerful for the kids because they get to come to camp and they get to, you know, talk about what they're going through and uh- with their peers who are going through the same thing. and they can really, you know, some of these kids, when they're going through treatment, they don't really get an opportunity to really just play and be kids. and so they can come to camp, they can swim, they can, you know, just have a lot of fun and really, you know, not be judged because sometimes, you know,

when kids are bold because they're going through chemotherapy or, you know, they're missing a limb because of their treatment, they can come to camp and, and they can just enjoy and not worry about that. and be with people who understand them. >> yeah. it's such a powerful message. think about the family camps, the sibling camps, as well as the sleepaway camp for oncology patients. as you just alluded to, anna, going through cancer treatment can feel very isolating. we spoke to the family earlier this month, and i know you've worked with so many families like theirs to see firsthand the impact. how has okayasu changed your life? >> okay, so, really has changed my life. >> i started volunteering at the camp when in 1998, and it really like just seeing what these families go through. and they're really heroes, and they have such resiliency and really, when you volunteer with them, you just get so much more than what you're giving to them. it's just a real lesson in resiliency and

strength. >> yeah, both of those certainly . and the siblings are the silent warriors. we always say, thinking back to 2020, i see your background shows campo chizu, the berry creek facility. that was before it was sadly affected by the north complex fires. i know despite all the challenges, the camp is still going strong. is there any update for the status for rebuilding? >> we don't have an update for rebuilding at this moment. we're still looking for property in california, in in northern california to host our camp and build our new home. you know, the fire was devastating. it came through really fast, and it just destroyed the camp. so we're just looking to move to a different location and we're looking for property and our search continues. we have looked at a lot of properties in the meantime. we are still offering our programs. we're still committed to supporting our families and we're doing that in rental sites. so we're renting

steph curry for three of his 25. but that would be the warriors last lead of the night. all indy from there moses moody no good pascal siakam outlet aaron nesmith doing chin ups on the rim with authority. and then another dagger three by haliburton. pacers run away from the warriors 123 111 dubs now only up by two on houston for 10th in the west. now to the ncaa tournament. the 512 matchup is always kind of dicey. saint mary's, the five seed against a really good grand canyon squad at the watch party in moraga. they were pumped, but they didn't like what they saw. this was a grand canyon block party. get out. and i mean it. ray harrison to collin moore three ball corner pocket. the antelopes up by seven in the second half and tie on grant foster. this dude can play a little shake and bake here right . and shine. he had 22. the antelopes build a double digit lead. gaels make a run get within five. aidan mahaney three of his 13. but it's just not

enough. ray harrison here strong to the cup. puts it away. down goes saint mary's 7566. it's grand canyon's first ever ncaa tournament win. night night for the gaels. the pac 12 zone. number ten colorado and number seven florida. 50s left florida down six. walter clayton junior knocks down the three and florida's down three. this game was nuts. 14 seconds left clayton junior stops and pops. he had 33. florida ties it up at 100 with six seconds left. still tied. k.j. simpson baseline jumper. friendly bounce buffs by two. clayton junior with a heave. this actually is a pretty good look, but no good in colorado. hangs on 102 100. now to the ladies. number two stanford hosting norfolk state tree. got some miracle gro in there a nice passing by the cardinal cameron brink layup 17 points 15 boards and to the half kiki area often splitting the defense and scores at the buzzer. the cardinal leading by

hills, mountain view and then the bay shore. more of a break here, but more rain is headed your way in livermore. what a gorgeous view from pier 39 here. a couple of sea lions out there, low to mid 50s is all we can manage right now. all around the bay area, the golden gate bridge, we have those clouds that are cumulus, and they're awfully nice to look at with a little bit of sun out there, anywhere from 2 to 7 degrees cooler this morning after the cold front. partly sunny out there right now in the city. a thunderstorm chances today. wet and windy this will carry over through the overnight hours into early sunday. and then we get a break sunday afternoon and monday and tuesday before another round of wet weather heads our way. so notice it's not raining all day. but where we do see the rain we could see some heavier downpours, maybe a thunderstorm and the amounts will be light, but we'll have some gusty winds and this is going to happen on and off all throughout the day. the evening, the overnight hours and rainfall amounts are pretty low, anywhere from a couple hundredths to

maybe a quarter of an inch of rain. so this, this system, this trough that's moving through will continue to bring in the gusty winds. the chance of showers. and throughout the day it's going to feel even cooler with winds over 25 miles an hour. this is your saturday afternoon. still kind of breezy through the overnight hours. but look what happens on sunday. we get out of that wet weather system. but we do have those northwesterly winds that want to bring winds up to about 40 miles an hour. it's been snowing in the sierra nevada. that continues. we've had anywhere from 5 to 20in and another foot or so for some areas, from kirkwood to ten inches at donner. so highs today on and off, rain, maybe a thunderstorm, breezy, upper 50s for most and the accuweather seven day forecast level one system today tomorrow a break in the afternoon but breezy both days to windy monday and tuesday. a mix of clouds and sun trying to warm up a little bit. level one system wednesday, thursday and once again we'll get into the cooler wet weather as we head

lisa and i and all of us here at abc seven, thank you for joining us. abc seven news continues at five. five. >> have a great day. the following advertisement is paid for by groundworks bay area underpinning. your foundation is one of the biggest parts of your home. it's what's holding everything up. it's your biggest investment, for most people, is the home. especially in california. our homes are expensive, and so you wanna make sure that you take care of those things. and what happens with structural foundation issues is if you ignore it and you leave it, it will only get worse with time, and it'll only get more expensive. so bay area underpinning has been in business since 2003. we've been helping our local homeowners

with foundation repairs issues, structural issues. we've been helping them with crawl-space issues repairs. we do concrete lifting and leveling, and we dabble in commercial as well. i always recommend every year to at least do that inspection. do a full inspection of the house and go looking for those signs and symptoms. so you notice a crack one year, you go back the next year, and it looks exactly the same to you. okay, well, that's not necessarily a red flag and, oh, my god, panic. but you should be paying attention to it. so if it gets worse over time, that's another idea in terms of call somebody, get some peace of mind, get someone come out, do an inspection for you. and a lot of the times, it doesn't mean that there is a structural issue, but get a professional look at it. signs and symptoms are something that definitely we want to educate the public about. you know, spring cleaning, spring maintenance, things that we do along those lines is do a full inspection of your house. do a walkaround. go looking for grade. is the grade slipping away from your house? right?

we don't want water pooling near the foundation because that's one of the major things that's causing structural issues. eaves drops, your downspouts, make sure they're cleaned out. make sure the connections where they meet at the bottom, a lot of times they're separated, and that allowed the water dump right into the edge of the corner of the foundation. which is also a problem. so you don't want that either. look for cracks. look for signs and symptoms on the stucco or the brick, whatever that happens to be. the façade on the side of the house, look for step cracking. look for things like that. those are warning signs that something's potentially going on for sure on the outside of the house. look for cracks in your concrete, on your sidewalk. as water is getting underneath it, it's washing the soils away, and that's what's causing a void which allows concrete to crack and have a problem. so just go around the house looking for signs of damage. pest control stuff. again, our homes being our largest investments. if you're walking through your house and you've noticed some things on the outside of the house. and now you're seeing cracks on the doorways. the windows aren't functioning properly.

doors aren't shutting and closing the way they used to. you're seeing unlevel floors. maybe your trim is separating a little bit. you're seeing a space between the floor and the baseboards. and so you start worrying or you start having concerns. all you have to do is go to bayareaunderpinning.com. set up a free estimate. our guys will come out and explain the whole process to you. and it's very simple, straightforward. we have financing options. there's really no pressure from that perspective. and, yeah, we have the solutions to fix the house. we pull permits and we work with the cities and counties for everything that we do. and so we have to wait, obviously, for the permits to be issued and given back to us before we can start the work. but our crews are always ready to go. we don't charge any money for inspections. our guys will come out and have a look at it and really do a full inspection. and so their inspections do take some time. they'll go through. they'll use their ziplevel just to get elevations to make sure that the house is leveled and really just sort of talk through that process. at the end of the day,

as long as we have a solution that's going to address what the why is behind what the customer is asking us for and the problems that we're seeing, then we'll go ahead and give them a quote and we can go from there. one of the things we pride ourselves on is giving the honest evaluation of what's actually going on and being transparent with what we're finding in the home. and i love the google reviews or the yelp reviews that we get when the customer isn't actually moving forward with work. but they're giving us a good review because they have peace of mind that we told them, "hey, don't panic. don't worry. it's okay. let's monitor this. we'll come back and look at it again in a year from now and potentially move forward if we need to." to me, at the end of the day, it's the way we take care of the community and we really care. we take care of our people. we take care of the people that we work with, the homeowners. everybody that we touch is important to us to make sure that they have a really good experience to get the peace of mind. so for more information for bay area underpinning, just go to our website, bayareanderpinning.com.
