sunday, may 26th. a live look outside and cloudy skies over oakland on another chilly

morning. hopefully we have a warm up on the way. thank you so much for starting your sunday of your memorial day weekend with us. i'm kira klapper cinthia pimentel has a quick look at our microclimate forecast and my fingers are crossed for what you're going to say. your wish is my command here on this sunday. some patchy clouds there through oakland, but some stunning skies over san jose right now. san mateo bridge also starting to clear. it's a bit chilly though, with that lack of cloud cover out towards the tri-valley and the north bay. waking up to those 40s upper 40s this morning, san francisco and the coastline should see faster clearing compared to what we were dealing with yesterday. so a beautiful day in san francisco will be in the 60s, later on into lunchtime for carnival. that takes place this morning into the afternoon, with the parade there. we have better news, some warming as we go on into our holiday sunday and memorial day. monday, 70s to a few 80s that will make it on into the map. unofficial start of summer will carry us with a warming trend into next week. i'll be back with the full

forecast in about 15 minutes. kiara, back to you. all right, cynthia, thanks so much. well, new this morning. today marks three years since the deadliest mass shooting in the bay area. we have a look at the victims. nine of them killed back on wednesday, may 26th, 2021. shot by one of the own one survivor who later died by suicide. marking the victims count up to ten. the tragedy happened when that colleague opened fire at the guadalupe light rail yard. again, he killed those nine coworkers before another, who survived later died by suicide. that shooter also ended up killing himself as officers moved in to arrest him. the vta eventually closed that san jose light rail facility and demolished it. we're going to turn now to the peninsula, where

police in a typically quiet neighborhood need the public's help identifying who shot and killed a man sitting in his car on friday night. belmont police are now asking for dash cam or security video from 8 p.m. friday night on ralston avenue near o'donnell park. that's between hiller and irwin streets, just west of highway 101. today in the bay's marianne favro, reports belmont police responded to reports of gunfire near hiller and irwin streets around 810. neighbor thomas martin described what he heard before police arrived. i heard some shot, what sounded like shots and, i thought it was maybe fireworks. but then about 10 to 20 minutes later, we walked outside and the police were roping off the area, and there was paramedics, giving chest compressions to a man on the ground. police say a 27 year old man died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.

neighbors say it appeared the victim was parked in a black sedan, and they noticed damage to the front windshield of his car. i saw some gunshots through the window, the windshield, the san mateo county crime lab was on scene as investigators collected evidence. police say they're pursuing several leads and believe this was an isolated incident. homicides in belmont are rare. one of the last was in 2019, when a 17 year old boy was shot in front of an elementary school. friday night's shooting happened in a quiet residential neighborhood just feet from o'donnell park, where kids often visit the playground. be careful of your surroundings. minhaj agrawal frequently walks his dog there and says the shooting has elevated his concerns about his family's safety. we are a family. i have two kids. i have a son and a daughter and mostly we are out in this, you know, evening in the night to walk sparky or, you know, whatever.

so it is scary to, you know, come to know that there has been a homicide here. and he says it's even more frightening to know the killer has not been caught marianne favro today in the bay, we have new details now this morning about a shooting in the north bay. it happened around three yesterday afternoon in san rafael. police got a call about a disturbance on d street, and as police were on their way, they received several other calls about a crash on b street just outside the marin bocce federation. when officers arrived, they saw two people running away and found a man who'd been shot. paramedics took him to the hospital. police say the disturbance and crash were connected and isolated incidents, and it's back to normal on interstate 680 in san ramon. but this is what it looked like yesterday. all southbound lanes closed, brought to a standstill near bolinger canyon road. police responded to

reports of an armed person on the freeway. as it turns out, the person never had a gun but was arrested for dui. all lanes reopened just before 8:00 last night. now to contra costa county and the small town of port costa, just west of martinez. firefighters evacuated people on canyon lake drive after someone discovered military explosives. firefighters and officers responded from the chp, the sheriff's office and even the travis air force base bomb squad. no one was hurt. oakland's former police chief wants to continue working in public service. leronne armstrong wants a new job on the oakland city council that makes him the ninth person to enter the race for the council's at large seat. and yesterday, armstrong kicked off his campaign with a rally at mcclymonds high school. armstrong served as an oakland police officer for 24 years, working his way up to the rank

of police chief. but last year, oakland mayor xiang tao fired him amid accusations of mismanagement. armstrong later was cleared of any wrongdoing. he is now suing the city for wrongful termination, all while a recall campaign mounts against the mayor. tao we asked armstrong what it would be like to work with the mayor if the effort to recall her fails. no matter who's the mayor or who i have to sit next to, i hope our commitment are the same. our commitment should be to the residents and visitors of oakland. and that's what i'm here for. you know, i work for the city for 24 years. and so i, you know, i've known a lot of people for a very long time. i think people know my commitment to oakland. they know how much i love and care about this city. i, you know, i live here, i grew up here. i raised my family here. and so i feel like i have a lot more to offer to this city. and so this is my chance to do it. armstrong tells us among his goals is public safety, cleaning up the oakland city streets and balancing the

city's finances as oakland faces an extreme budget crisis. as mentioned, eight other people are running for that council member at large seat held by rebecca kaplan since 2008. kaplan, by the way, has not announced whether she plans to run again. well, as we always seem to say, memorial day weekend marks the unofficial start to summer and the tourism season. and now there could be a threat to one of san francisco's biggest attractions, the boat tours to alcatraz. as today in the bay's tom jensen reports, union workers who operate those boats walked off the job and onto the picket lines. it's one of the major draws to san francisco tourism economy. i have no clue what i'm in for, but it looks like fun. i'm scared. i don't like boats. even visitors unsure about venturing out into the waters of the bay, put their fears aside for an up close look at the rock alcatraz boat tours attract more than 1.5

million visitors to the island yearly, but saturday morning, striking cruise workers put the boat tours on a four hour hold by picketing at pier 33. picket lines mean no cross. the union's president shot this video of the strike, which forced alcatraz city cruises to clear their boats until it was over. board of supervisors president aaron peskin was there to show his support for the union workers, who say management has not negotiated fairly, dragging out talks for nearly a year and a half. this is a working people's waterfront. it has been for 100 years and it is time for alcatraz cruises to stop stalling. we've been waiting for a response to our economic package for months, months and months, and we were told that we would have a response to our economic proposal at the last meeting. but union president robert estrada says management didn't deliver anything tangible and continually drags out discussions without movement on key issues. so the workers hit

the picket line, the boats were back up and running towards alcatraz. but the union's president says a full strike is not out of the question. the two sides don't go back to the negotiating table until june 4th, but the union's hopeful management will come to them with an agreement before then. there are stakeholders that aren't directly alcatraz cruises, and we would hope that there are conversations happening right now between those stakeholders and those who hold the power to get this done. in a written statement, alcatraz city cruises said it's disappointed that the union would threaten a full strike but is committed to continuing to bargain in good faith to reach an agreement. tom jensen today in the bay and speaking of agreements in santa clara county, the county and a major nurses union have reached a deal. they've agreed to a new four year contract. it comes after many months of negotiations. the registered nurses professional association says 88% of its members voted to ratify the tentative agreement.

it includes improvements in pay and working conditions in the county's hospitals. both sides appear to be pleased with county executives and union leaders applauding the deal. the contract now goes before the board of supervisors for final approval. now to a live look outside across the bay area wow. hardly any cars on the road, although i did experience quite a bit of traffic yesterday. traffic right now moving smoothly. a reminder for this holiday weekend, the chp statewide maximum enforcement period is underway, meaning extra patrols will be out there looking for dui drivers and unsafe drivers. it will end tomorrow night, and if you're heading out for a long road trip this memorial day holiday weekend, we have some tips maintenance tips to keep in mind before you pull out of your driveway. make sure your tires are properly inflated, not worn down. those aren't just for safety, but for help with your gas mileage. be sure to look for

any leaks underneath your vehicle. that could be a sign something is wrong. we spoke with an auto repair expert who says that is the mistake. drivers make. most often, assuming things are fine because they don't currently notice an issue. for an example there, the battery most people never test their battery or get it checked out. they keep driving the vehicle until it finally just doesn't start, and then they go, oh my battery is bad. well, if you're heading out of town and you stop to get gas and you come back out of the gas station in your car doesn't start, you have now found out that your battery is bad. most car parts stores will test your car battery for free while your vehicle is parked in their lot. 712 much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up off the court and into the kitchen. chef curry cooking up a special moment at bottle rock yesterday with some fam

in 10 years, lisa schneider will have an amazing second act. thanks to career reskilling courses from aarp. to help make sure her income lives as long as she does. the younger you are, the more you need aarp.

welcome back. a live look outside towards san francisco, hazy cloud cover as we look from our emeryville camera towards the bay bridge. it was chilly yesterday. cinthia pimentel will be along in just a few minutes with a slight warm up as we head into memorial day. but first, this morning's bay area proud includes a story of redemption, and for a person to be redeemed, they must have fallen, as today in the bay's garvin thomas shows us that is the case with a number of people in this story, and the people dedicated to helping them with their second chance will make you bay area proud. so i think a few of you will be speaking. most graduations cap off an achievement a few years in the making, but the one joe b-men is taking part in, well, it represents a bit more than that. like half his life. yeah, it was

a little more than half of my life. yeah. joe was just 22 years old when he was convicted of murder and sent to prison. he would spend the next 24 years there. you know, part of me felt like i deserved to be there, you know, that i deserved to die in prison. you know, i can't undo or make up for. there's no such thing as evening. the scales. but if joe couldn't even the scales, he decided to use his time in prison to tilt them in a positive direction. one which started with changing himself. i didn't want to be the person who took another life. i didn't want to be that person anymore. i couldn't. i couldn't look myself in the mirror and be that person . so joe spent years working on his anger and mental health issues. but that's not all he worked on. joe had had an interest in computers since he was young. he even started writing software back when he was just 12, and so he took advantage of the limited resources in prison to learn

even more writing code in notebooks and even this calculator i wrote full on apps, typing on those tiny little calculator keyboards, literally thousands of lines of code. this is the pillar one class room. which is why when joe was released, a little more than a year ago, he couldn't have landed in a better place than here. each fellow has their own room crop or creating restorative opportunities and programs. was just launching ready for life, a comprehensive residential program based in oakland aimed at turning the formerly incarcerated into the currently employed in the tech world. it's a very challenging program. in addition to classroom trainings, there were real world tours of silicon valley companies. you know, here i am, you know, i'm at this campus with all these engineers and, just wondering, how was

this my life, you know, i mean, because not so long ago, i was staring at concrete walls, no matter how many naysayers we have to battle, we're going to continue making that pathway. but now, as part of ready for life's first graduating class, joe and the dozen other graduates can now stare at their diplomas instead, each one being given a second chance to make a positive contribution to society. more groups like that are needed for society for joe, it starts this week with an apprenticeship at the sap academy for engineering. it's an opportunity to look back at something i can be proud of. instead of all the things that i can look back on and not be proud of. to put it mildly. that was our garvin thomas reporting for us. all month long we have been celebrating asian american, native hawaiian, and pacific islander heritage. all happening in san francisco. a cultural

parade down grant avenue in the city's chinatown. organizers are welcoming everyone to the free family festival, promoting history, culture and small business along to recognize and to remember and to honor what chinatown has offered to america, to the community. we've been here since 1848. we have a deep history and culture. we want to bring everything together. the festival was put on by the chinatown history and culture association and the chinese historical society of america, also in san francisco. day one of carnival in the books and the party continues. today. thousands of people are expected to head to san francisco mission district today, the two day festival will also celebrated worldwide, but san francisco's event is the largest and longest

running multicultural celebration in all of california . this year's theme honors indigenous roots. the festival includes dozens of musical and dance performances, vendors, and that good food. we pride ourselves in having a representation of all the different types of food that you can come taste, and then also the music to come and whether you come dance cumbia or you come dance salsa or do a little samba, you know, you have an opportunity to get a little taste of everything thing today, the big parade starts at 930. there will be street closures. you can see on their on the screen in red. bryant will be closed between 17th and 24th so that the floats can line up. the parade kicks off at bryant and 24th. heads down to mission and then goes up 16th. afterwards, the festival continues. that's in the yellow on harrison. and when you think of steph curry, you may think of the splash

brothers duo. but yesterday he was part of a trio. steph on stage with actor bradley cooper and award winning chef jose andres. this is at bottle rock. according to the san francisco chronicle, they drew the largest crowd to the williams-sonoma culinary stage in the history of the festival. their 45 minute appearance featured philly cheesesteaks. and that's not all elizabeth. oh, wow. they broke out in song. that was part of an impromptu singing of shallow from cooper's hit movie with lady gaga, a star is born. looked like beautiful weather there. let's check in now with cinthia pimentel for a look at our microclimate forecast. how will today be? i think today will be the best day for bottle rock and for carnival. we have a clear start through most of the bay area, a few patchy clouds and fog to deal with sfo. busy travel weekend, but as we take it hour by hour for you, help you make those weekend plans

much quicker clearing than what we saw yesterday was a bit gloomy that may gray, but for today, by the middle of the morning we should be clearing those skies, pushing it back out towards the coastline and then enjoying a nice warm afternoon. let's go to san francisco, check on carnival there for all the dancing and gorgeous latin celebrations. we're going to see a faster warming in the city into those 60s. so comfortable under sunny skies as we go on into bottlerock a bit of a chilly morning, of course, in the valleys, but then by the afternoon. what a wonderful place to be. not only for the wine, but the food and the wine. country 75 later on this afternoon. a bit breezy there as we go on into the evening, but overall, i mean, you couldn't ask for better weather in the bay area for this time of year. we'll do upper 50s and 60s near the coastline. we'll do 68 in san mateo and start to warm things up back into the 70s where we should be for this time of year. compared to the temperatures that took a tumble yesterday afternoon. 77 in santa rosa, 81 out in fairfield and we'll do 78 in los gatos as we plan our memorial day monday. of

course. watch the difference. microclimates through the coast and our inland valleys. 50s to start gradually warming up to the 60s there. it could be a bit breezy. so watch for those napkins and all of your barbecue stuff going out there. but our inland valleys definitely going to be the unofficial start of summer here. as we start that clearing through the morning and carry it through into the upper 70s, by the afternoon, overall, we're going to be in a steady weather pattern as we go on through the next seven days in our inland valleys. an official start of summer will definitely feel like it. perfect for any activities, getting the house ready for summer and the kids. the pool. we'll see temperatures rising quickly into parts of midweek to the upper 70s 80s by thursday and friday. and then we're watching a bit of a cool down as we go on into saturday. but overall comfortable, beautiful weather. san francisco over the next couple of days should also enjoy some mild weather aside from the foggy start some days, but then clearing and cruising into the 60s upper 60s by late week.

saturday, june 1st. can't believe that's coming out of my mouth right now. but we're halfway through the year and we should transition more into that summer like pattern quickly. oh my goodness. all right cynthia, thanks much more ahead on today in the bay coming up, the a's and giants both bringing home wins in very different ways. highlights next plus christian use checks making something special for today's indy 500 winner. that's not it. but stick around

small teams won yesterday. so let's start with the giants. they have been on a hot streak, winning seven of eight games going into yesterday's game versus the new york mets, where godzilla was in the stance. all right, let's get to the ninth. giants trailing 2 to 1 lamont wade bringing home that tying run with a single ryan mckenna scoring. we are tied in the 10th. giants score two leading four two. and then this mikey

ostrowski with bases loaded, banging it off the wall, breaking it wide open bringing in three runs. giants win it seven two. orange and black now in second place in the nl west. and the oakland a's at home yesterday against the houston astros a nice day for baseball. the a's, unlike the giants, took care of scoring early first inning jj bleday and abraham toro on board and up steps brent rooker. he rips a double to left. two runs scored. who knew that would be enough runs to win this thing? jp sears pitching six innings of a two hit ball, allowing only one unearned run. mason miller coming in to strike out the side in the ninth. a's win it 3 to 1. all right. today in indiana, a memorial day weekend tradition for the indianapolis 500. welcome race fans to the greatest spectacle in motor racing. the niners own fashion designer, christian usec

, has been hard at work prepping for the indy 500. she posted this video to her instagram promising one of her handmade jackets to the winner. she tagged it with the phrase inspired by tradition fit for a champion. christian, as you likely know, is the wife of san francisco 40 niners fullback kyle use check. she's gained a name for herself with specialty jackets for athletes and celebrities like taylor swift and simone biles. and a reminder you can watch the indy 500 today right here on nbc bay area. the winner's prize roughly $3.5 million. although the purse could surpass 4 million, our pre-race coverage begins at 8 a.m. the race at 930, 728 right now. much more ahead on today in the bay coming up from top cop to city council candidate, oakland's former police chief launching his campaign. we'll speak to him about how he feels possibly working with the mayor who firehimd

live. look outside the sun shining in milpitas. this is senate park on a lovely sunday morning, at least for the south bay. thank you so much for starting your sunday with us. i'm kira klapper cinthia pimentel joins us with a quick look at our microclimate forecast and hopefully a warm up for those folks who aren't seeing the sunshine right now. yeah, there are a few patchy clouds this morning as we wake up on this sunday, but that lack of the cloud cover down here in the south bay is bringing down those temperatures a little bit. we definitely had to shut the windows and bring out a couple more blankets last night. 48 in sunnyvale to start our day, 47 in danville, some low 50s around the immediate bay, the peninsula, 52. but as we go up into the north bay, 46 in santa rosa on this sunday morning, if you want more warm weather as we

transition to this unofficial start of summer, we have a mild day on tap for today. you'll definitely feel a little bit warmer than yesterday, and that will carry us through on into monday. breezy at the coast for our memorial day plans before we rise those temperatures as we go on into midweek. so i'll show you the full range of those numbers coming up in about ten minutes. kira. all right, cynthia, thanks. we'll see you soon. new this morning. today marks three years since the deadliest mass shooting in all of the bay area. we have a look at the nine victims who were killed back on wednesday, may 26th, 2021. shot by one of their own. a survivor later died by suicide. the tragedy happened when the shooter opened fire at the guadalupe light rail yard at 6:38 a.m. in san jose, again killing those nine coworkers. the suspect shot himself as officers moved in to arrest him. the vta later closed and eventually demolished the san jose light rail facility, where

that massacre happened. we have new details this morning about a shooting in the north bay. it happened in broad daylight yesterday afternoon around 3:00 in san rafael. police received a call about some sort of disturbance on d street and as they were responding, they received another set of calls about a crash on b street just outside the marin bocce federation. when they arrived, they saw two people running away . they also found a man who'd been shot. paramedics took him to the hospital. police do tell us the disturbance and crash were connected and isolated. no word on any arrests. now to oakland's former police chief. apparently not ready to leave public service. he is vying for a new job on the oakland city council. lauren armstrong will now be the ninth person to enter the race for the oakland city council's at large seat. just yesterday, he kicked off that campaign with a rally. this was at mcclymonds high school. armstrong served as an oakland

police officer for 24 years. he worked his way up the ranks and was chief of police just last year, mayor shengtao fired him amid accusations of mismanagement, but he was later cleared of any wrongdoing. armstrong is now suing the city for wrongful termination, as a recall campaign mounts against tao herself. we asked armstrong what it would be like to work with the mayor if the recall effort against her fails. no matter who's the mayor or who i sit next to, i hope our commitment are the same. our commitment should be to the residents and visitors of oakland, and that's what i'm here for. you know, i work for the city for 24 years. and so i've, you know, i've known a lot of people for a very long time. i think people know my commitment to oakland. they know how much i love and care about this city. i, you know, i live here, i grew up here. i raised my family here. and so i feel like i have a lot more to offer to this city. and so this is my chance to do it. armstrong tells

us his goals are public safety, street cleanups and working to balance the city's finances. as oakland faces an extreme budget crisis. eight other people, as mentioned, are running for that council member at large seat. it's been held by rebecca kaplan since 2008. unclear though, if she plans to run again. well, speaking of now to the state of california overall, facing a shortage of about 36,000 licensed nurses, it's been a crisis building for decades and was made even worse by covid. there's another factor, though, which might be forcing nurses from the profession, and we are told it is racism. so there's a new documentary called everybody's work healing what hurts us all. it explores nurses experiences with racism, from patients to colleagues and within the hospital system itself. the head of one school of nursing tells us that the cost of not addressing the issue

is too high. it harms the patients, right? so at the patient level, it harms the system. so we have the system level. we have people leaving the profession. the increase in turnover, the, increase errors when you're stressed. we see it at the provider level again with the burnout and moral distress and all of this combined is just contributing to patient outcomes . beard went on to tell us that nurses from minority groups are leaving the profession at twice the rate of their white counterparts, and that's accelerating the nursing shortage that california is already experiencing. now to public art. you can participate in busy san pedro square in downtown san jose is about to get a very colorful makeover. a giant street mural, as today in the bay's marianne favro, explains, the community can play a big role in creating the arts.

outlining with chalk. these volunteers are prepping for this. a 12,000 square foot street mural in san pedro square, created by the artist known as jimi paints. the title of it is called threads woven, and it's based off of a blanket, and that pattern, and what i wanted to do was kind of deconstruct and reconstruct it into something new. jimi, a san jose native who grew up on the east side, says art helped him paint a new path, and now he wants to give back to his community. as a young kid, you know, i got involved with a little bit of graffiti and but that was like a gateway for me into the fine art world. i learned about painting fine art, and, when i was in high school, i started taking art classes at evergreen community college, and that just blew my mind. this mural will span across this section of san pedro street downtown, which is now open only to pedestrians. what's unique about this street mural is that

more than 1200 volunteers from the community will paint it local color and artist nonprofit is coordinating the massive undertaking. the coloring begins monday and will take a week, so we're creating a sort of paint by number, making it as easy as possible for people to follow along with the work. and with this big coloring book we're creating, she says. response from the community has been so overwhelming. the volunteer slots are already filled and 300 people are on a waiting list. the ceo of san jose downtown association predicts the mural will be a game changer. people think of downtown san jose. there's nothing really specific that comes up. what it stands for. my vision has been that this mural will become a symbol for downtown. it embodies literally everything. downtown is the vibrancy, diversity, colorfulness and art building community. by bringing color to concrete in san jose, marianne

favro nbc bay area news 738 right now. still to come on today in the bay, we continue our celebration of the ana api community. we'll introduce you to one pan whose love of being in the middle of a party is helping transform san francisco's chinatown.

off to a bit of a cool start there in san rafael. busy along 101, you might also be seeing some drizzle out there as that relative humidity as a 100. so just using the windshield wipers a little bit on the creek starting to clear those skies 52 degrees down here into san jose with a stunning morning in the south bay. also a bit cooler because of that lack of the cloud cover that we had yesterday. but there will be a quicker clearing this morning and also temperatures rising by noontime already some mild 70s

for parts of the north bay, upper 60s around the immediate bay, and also some low 70s down into the santa clara valley. by this afternoon we're going to have a breezy coastline. temperatures in the upper 50s and 60s, but a few 80s start to make it onto the map. 80 in vacaville 78. if you're driving up into ukiah, 73 in dublin, and we'll do 75 in downtown san jose as far as the rest of the state goes, maybe you have some travel plans. let me help you plan that. we're going up into the sierra watching for a few thunderstorms developing, as is typical for this time of year, but everybody else is seeing those clearing skies. we'll start our monday morning with a little bit of that fog, but then it should clear out, push back into the coastline, and really give way to a nice memorial day monday. again, watching for those sierra showers and thunderstorms if you're heading to tahoe. and speaking of tahoe, that's a live look. it's gorgeous there right now. today is a beautiful day with that sunshine. tomorrow still warm into the 70s, but we'll watch for those afternoon thunderstorms. if you want to extend your weekend and make it

on into a tuesday, that's fine. i won't tell anybody. and we still have some gorgeous weather up there. but coming back into the bay area. unofficial start of summer for monday. our temperatures range from the 60s to the mid 80s. we are on a warming trend, as that ridge of high pressure in the pacific is keeping temperatures nice and toasty. as we go on into tuesday, more warming ahead, but i think wednesday on into the friday timeline is going to be some of the warmest weather that we've had to say goodbye to may and hello to june. feeling like summer by the middle of the week. 70s and 80s for the north bay, as well as over on in concord down through the south bay, comfortable through the peninsula and san francisco, with even further warming ahead as we go on into the next seven days in san francisco, we'll reach the upper 60s by the middle of the week, and our inland valleys start planning those pool parties. kids getting out of school everywhere will be a nice and warm thursday friday into the 80s. we go with just a touch cooler conditions. saturday, june 1st june. oh my

gosh. all right cynthia tha

forward to memorial day to remember and honor those who've given the ultimate sacrifice. many others are looking forward to the day off, maybe heading to a bay area beach, but a new report on the top ten dirtiest beaches across the u.s. includes a few in california, one right here in the bay area cinthia pimentel is back. you spoke with the surfrider foundation, the organization behind the report, and they say it's based on bacteria in the water. that's correct. kira definitely always worth being cautious about our quality, especially when it comes to water in the bay area. the surfrider foundation, a nonprofit that focuses on protecting our oceans, processed more than 9000 water samples across the country. they found that more than 60% of beaches failed to meet state health

standards at least once in 2023. that list includes linda mar beach in pacifica, parts of san luis obispo and imperial beach down in san diego. now, experts say that aging infrastructure, stronger storms and sea level rise can contaminate our water. we put a lot of our sewage treatment plants well right along the coastline, so even with a little bit of sea level rise, that's going to have an impact on that infrastructure and we can expect to see more impacts on water quality if we don't address those issues soon. now, when it comes to protecting yourself and your loved ones out along our coastline, pay attention to water quality advisories posted at the beach and avoid having your kids and your pets jump into creeks and streams that flow directly to the ocean because they too, can be contaminated. now for more stories like this, visit our website nbcbayarea.com and click on the climate and crisis tab kira. back to you. all right cynthia, thanks. all month long we at nbc bay area have been

celebrating asian american native hawaiian and pacific islander heritage. and we are highlighting just some of the people who make our area unique today in the bay's joe rosato jr has the story of one businessman whose working to bring the party spirit back to san francisco's chinatown. all right, let's go. i'm walking. probably no one back scratchers who likes a party as much as stephen lee. i had a party last saturday. even back when he was studying broadcasting at san francisco state in the 70s. you might say he minored in party planning. i joined this social club and we two parties and dances, unlike most other party people, lee turned his love of a party into a career. so i opened my first nightclub in 2000. i've been doing nightlife for four decades. that festive spirit was a departure from lee's childhood, which was spent far from the action. i'm originally from vacaville, california. cows onions. he worked in his

father's grocery store with occasional trips to visit grandma and his uncles in san francisco's chinatown. i didn't feel myself as being really chinese at the time because all my friends were caucasian. his perspective changed once he landed in college. well, going to sf state, you have to take asian study courses. that really hooked me up. on friday. i'm going to party there. through his experience of owning nightclubs and organizing parties, lee joined san francisco's entertainers commission, where he spent a decade. he also connected with his heritage in a deeper way. when the 150th anniversary of the transcontinental railroad came around, lee realized one group was left out of the honors. well, i was complaining. how come there's nothing visual to say? hey, these are the chinese railroad workers. there's no statue, and nobody can answer me the question. so lee answered the question himself. he organized a fundraiser and commissioned a memorial to honor the chinese

workers who toiled on the railroad. you know? wow, this is the real thing, you know, lee saw another chance to take up the cultural call when legendary chinatown restaurant sam wo announced it was closing. when it was announced in the chronicle that was shut down, there was lines around the block from ten in the morning till 3 a.m. the passionate response persuaded lee to organize a group of investors and save the restaurant in a new location. basically, this place means a lot to the community, so that's why i put my time to rebuild it. but when the pandemic hit, all of chinatown's businesses felt the pain. all these were all boarded up. lee's suggestion the area needed to revive its once legendary nightlife. lee opened a new nightclub called the lion's den. the first live music club to open in the neighborhood in decades. this is where the performers of the 50s used to perform to with bob hope, john wayne, you got ronald reagan

here in uniform. the lounge is part of a wave of new businesses bringing new spirit to chinatown. a lot of people are coming into chinatown, which they haven't been in chinatown for years. and really, he's the one that really had a vision for chinatown to bring back its legacy of nightlife. i think chinatown is always going to be a special place. it's amazing what you can do here. lee's latest project, an all in one art gallery and wine shop on grant that showcases asian owned wineries made in napa valley. it seems through his many endeavors, lee found his way into his own heritage in a neighborhood that just needed someone to get the party going. joe rosado jr. we do this because we love chinatown. nbc bay area news. 51 past the hour right now. up next, a quick look at the top stories we're following, including an unusual request from police in one peninsula city that rarely sees crime. what you can do to help
