celebration, a unique look at san francisco's chinatown through the lens of the people who call it home. >> this alleyway is very nostalgic because this is where i learned to ride a bike with my little four wheels. this is cbs news bay area with juliette goodrich. >> good evening. it is a move to make sure baseball lives on in the town. oakland's new minor league team, the ballers, revealed its new home and with it, a pitch to do some good for the surrounding community. the team will play its home games at the historic raimondi park in west oakland. it doesn't look ready for a pro team yet, but the b's founders plan to invest $1.6 million into the site like adding a new scoreboard, updating the field and seating for 2,500 fans. >> for years it was the best kept secret in baseball that

raimondi produced more stars than any park in the country. >> the b's announcement video highlights the park's rich history. it was one of the first city parks in oakland built in 1910. a training ground for baseball greats like frank robinson, kurt blood. the b's are looking to fill the void left by the a's who plan to eventually leave for las vegas, but as loureen ayyoub shows us, the founders hope the ballpark will have benefits way beyond baseball. >> reporter: the legacy of baseball continues here in oakland. as the ballers prepare for a fresh season in june here in raimondi stadium, locals are reacting to how a generous investment will impact both the team and the community. it might just look like your local park, but don't underestimate raimondi. the historic ballpark has been a training ground for baseball legends and now thanks to the founders of the new minor league baseball team, the oakland ballers, it is getting

treated to a pricey makeover. >> we're excited to improve the playing space, improve irrigation, to put padding on the walls, to make it a premier facility that we will use 48 days a year, but the city can be using the other 317 days. >> reporter: that includes nearby school mcclymonds high, a local institution of not just academics, but also coincidently, a hub for champions including baseball legend frank robinson. the name raimondi park came from a mcclymonds graduate ernie raimondi who played for the oakland baseball club before he was killed in world war ii. >> back in oakland it's going to get folks excited and hopefully bring some revenue to the local economy. >> reporter: the oakland ballers plan on providing free baseball clinics in black communities and local student athlete jacari thomas believes the team's presence will be great for the neighborhood. >> i think it's good that we'll have more things in our community in oakland because we

have like other teams, but they all left, you know, warriors in the city now. you got the raiders who are in vegas now. >> reporter: brian hopes the team will reactivate love for baseball in the bay. >> i want kids to get excited about baseball as they do about football and basketball. >> reporter: the ballers first game is set for june 4th, 2024. >> raimondi park is right next to the former wood street homeless camp that was recently cleared out. you can see that path near the freeway what was once the city's largest camp. it will eventually be the site of a new housing development. as for the a's, still not clear where they'll be playing after their lease at the coliseum expires after this year's season. the a's tell us team president had a positive meeting to talk about a lease extension. it would keep the team in town until their proposed ballpark in

vegas is earlier no earlier than 2028. the team is also considering playing in salt lake city and sacramento. parents, students, teachers all reacting to news that a student in montgomery high school in santa rosa is accused of printing ghost guns out of his own home. these are the pictures of the 3d printer and completed components of the guns police say the 14-year-old was making, which include a lower receiver for a firearm, a partially completed handle and ammunition. it is adding a new level of concern for parents already worried about recent incidents of gun violence at santa rosa schools. in fact, one parent told us schools need to be more aggressive in protecting students. >> we believe all students should feel safe at school and they don't right now. they want to know they can come to school and not be in fear of a lockdown or active shooter or weapons or gangs. it's what's happening in sonoma county, in a lot of cities. so again, it's not just a montgomery

high school issue. >> the santa rosa police department says the number of minors arrested for gun possessions jumped 500% from 2022 to 2023. authorities in kansas city are saying the shooting at the chiefs super bowl parade is likely connected to a dispute that led to gunfire. two juveniles are in custody. here is the tackle in the crowd of chaos that police say helped detain one of the people who may be connected to the shooting. more than 20 people were struck by gunfire, some children, just as the parade was wrapping up. >> there's a huge commotion. people are yelling get him, get him. i reacted without thinking. >> yeah. this was the moment rapid gunshots rang out among nearly 1 million people. chiefs fans had to duck and run for cover as more than 800 police officers on scene sprang into action. the shooting killed

lisa lopez-galvan, a mother of two and popular radio deejay. out of the 12 children hurt, all are expected to recover. the shooting, like so many before it, has sparked calls for gun reform. tonight cbs news has a call to action from the survivors of mass shootings. >> our in-depth look at gun violence, we sit down with shooting survivors and family members united in their mission to prevent future tragedies, that and more headlines tonight on the cbs evening news. >> thank you, norah. other news around the bay area, three people were killed in a crash on the bay bridge. it happened near treasure island early this morning. authorities say a mini cooper stalled and called 911. while they were waiting, a toyota then slammed into their car. three people in the mini cooper were killed. chp says the driver of the toyota was taken to the hospital with major injuries but is expected to survive. regional medical center in

san jose plans on closing its level two trauma center by august 12. the hospital now is citing decreased use of the facility the last few years and say instead they'll invest $10 million into their emergency department to increase the number of beds available from 43 to 63. the hospital releasing a statement today that reads in part, "we are disappointed that we can no longer provide all the services that we had. we fully understand the impact these changes may have, yet they allow us to sustain care that aligns with the needs of our greatest santa clara county community today and for the future." an encouraging trend after another challenging winter of viruses, covid hospitalizations in the state have reached their lowest point in two months and a 37% drop from the peak of january 2nd. while that's a key indicator, of course, covid

levels are still relatively high and covid fatigue is also catchy. many people are tired of taking precautions like avoiding crowds and masking, but len ramirez shows us that's creating a dangerous situation for many medically fragile people who live amongst us. >> how many rocks do you have? can you count them? >> reporter: 4-year-old ella bueno is living her life. >> 11. good job, elly. >> reporter: despite a myriad of physical challenges, she moves ahead playing, learning, and doing it all with happiness, joy, and even a sense of humor. >> are you surprised? >> reporter: she was born with a rare genetic disease that affects her spine, her size, and ability to move and breathe. she has a tracheostomy tube down her neck and her blood oxygen levels must be

constantly watched. she can't speak, but communicates through sign language. >> oh, yea! >> reporter: and as if all that wasn't enough, she's now facing an immediate threat from respiratory viruses like covid which for her could be deadly. >> it's a constant worry for us. we're constantly having to think about keeping ella safe and who is sick, who is not sick, who is vaccinated, who is not vaccinated. >> reporter: adding to the worry is that covid is spiking this winter. wastewater data from santa clara county shows how the virus as well as rsv and the flu is still rapidly spreading in the community, but for most healthy people covid is now treated like a thing of the past. many packed into bars and restaurants to watch the super bowl and hardly anyone wears a mask anymore. that has consequences for kids like ella. >> we are seeing a lot more of our kids hospitalized and we just think that's because things have opened up a lot more.

>> reporter: margie mayfield runs coastal kids home care, a nonprofit that provides in-home nursing to ella and medically fragile children in santa clara, santa cruz, monterey and san benito counties. for many families it's like still living in 2020. >> families are so isolated. we're isolated tremendously during the first several years, so everybody wants to get back to normal, but our families really have to think twice about it and that's kind of sad, that they can't get out there and get going, too. >> reporter: ella does get out only for school and therapy, but she rarely goes anywhere else in public, can't go to parties or have many visitors unless they're masked and tested for covid before coming over. >> it's still a very life threatening disease for ella. >> reporter: ella won't grow much beyond her small size, but her life expectancy is normal and she's very smart. her family only hopes that people still take viruses seriously and do their part to help slow

the spread. another sign that pandemic attitudes are evolving, the cdc is considering taking california's lead and revising its covid guidelines. so instead of isolating five days after a positive test, you could return to normal activities after being fever free for 24 hours. still ahead, a place of childhood memories in the south bay may be making a splash once again. we'll have details on a comeback plan for raging waters. with lunar new year festivities in full swing, people who grew up in chinatown share with us the neighborhood they know and love. >> growing up here, you might think oh, this is normal, everyone does this. everyone translates for their family at home, right? we head into a big weekend of activities, it's looking wet, one atmospheric river hitting the coast on saturday and another one sunday night into monday. we're adding up

democrats agree. conservative republican steve garvey is the wrong choice for the senate. ...our republican opponent here on this stage has voted for donald trump twice. mr. garvey, you voted for him twice... as your own man, what is your decision? garvey is wrong for california. but garvey's surging in the polls. fox news says garvey would be a boost to republican control of the senate. stop garvey. adam schiff for senate. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message.

we are heading into another busy weekend of lunar new year festivities around the bay area and this was san francisco's kickoff to the year of the dragon last saturday in chinatown's portsmith's square and mary lee spent some time with a student who grew up in chinatown to give us a unique perspective on the neighborhood's rich history, struggle, and strength. >> reporter: san francisco has one of the largest lunar new year celebrations in the nation. i'm about to show you chinatown through the lens of the people who grew up here, who call chinatown home. for tracy lau, chinatown was

her backyard. every street, every alleyway reminds her of her childhood. >> this alleyway is very nostalgic because this is where like i learned to ride a bike with my little four wheels. >> reporter: she showed me the chinatown she knows and loves. >> we'll go to the park right now. it's called the y. we shortened it to the y and everyone thinks we're talking about the ymca. every friday after school i was here for meetings. saturday and sundays i was here for events. i used to play here because that's where the park is. >> reporter: tracy grew up translating not just for her mom, but for her entire neighborhood, who could only speak cantonese. >> growing up here you might think oh, this is normal, like everyone does this, like everyone translates for their family at home, right? >> reporter: tracy, her mother and younger brother lived in a small 100 square foot single room or sro growing up. it was all she knew. >> it was never anything

shameful or like weird, but i think until i went to like high school, that's really like a difference. it was my high school was so far like near the sunset that i was like oh, like kids have their own rooms? you don't all live in a cramped space. >> reporter: she's now a freshman at uc berkeley, but tracy still comes back to give back, volunteering with the chinatown community development center. one of her mentors, the community organizer with the program, also grew up in chinatown. chou spoke about the hearts and power of this community. >> the chinese community cannot be like underestimated. i think a lot of people kind of don't see like asians and chinese and people in chinatown as fighters, right? they're kind of just think a lot of us are pushovers due to like stereotypes and other stuff i won't get into, but, you know, this community has fought back.

there's always been strength in numbers and it speaks volumes how we can come together. >> you look inside now, it's kind of like a banquet hall, but it turned into a grocery store because there's not as many people coming out. >> reporter: tracy is proud of her chinese resilience, her strength and culture and proud of the community that raised her. for tracy, chinatown will always be home. >> mary lee tells us tracy is a tour guide with chinatown alleyway tours, a student developed and student-led program through the chinatown community development center.

this saturday works will be performed rooted in asian traditions starting at 5 a.m. on sunday thousands are expected to come out for oakland's second annual chinatown parade from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00. still ahead,

this ad? typical. politicians... "he's bad. i'm good." blah, blah. let's shake things up. with katie porter. porter refuses corporate pac money. and leads the fight to ban congressional stock trading. katie porter. taking on big banks to make housing more affordable. and drug company ceos to stop their price gouging. most politicians just fight each other. while katie porter fights for you. for senate - democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message. the economy is simply not working for millions of hard working families. they're working harder than ever and they still can't make enough to get by to afford food and medicine to even keep a roof over their heads. we need to build more housing that's truly affordable. we need to address this terrible epidemic of homelessness. we need to invest in good paying jobs, union jobs and investments in our future. this, this is why i'm running for the us senate.

i'm adam schiff and i approve this message. first alert weather in the sierra is getting hit with notice and more is on the way. the uc berkeley snow lab posted this video. they say they got 13 inches of snow in just 24 hours, but don't get too excited to head up there just yet. >> they'll catch up to both normal snow and snow water equivalent. >> in a matter of what, days? >> the next several days. there's going to be little windows of time to travel up there. >> i like that when you give

the window. >> you're okay tomorrow, early saturday, might be okay sunday. after that, saturday nimonday onward, no. same things bringing us rain will bring them snow. we have a wet presidents' day weekend. we've got cocoa out for the dog walk tomorrow. she's celebrating with her heart pajamas, mild tomorrow, around 60 degrees in penngrove, low to mid-60s for most of the bay area despite the clouds overhead and then the forecast becomes unsettled as we head into the weekend to say the least. first storm arrives on saturday. that's going to be a fairly brief one, should be out of here by saturday night, but a more powerful storm will linger even longer into late sunday, monday, even into tuesday. that prolonged stretch of rain

falling onto already saturated ground will elevate our flooding concerns. let's look at futurecast, start at 4:00 tomorrow when we're just cloudy, no rain till after midnight tomorrow night and light to moderate showers saturday to start the day. those become moderate to heavy downpours midday into saturday afternoon and evening. this is the faster moving storm system. it tapers off to light showers by midnight saturday night and we'll see light off-and-on showers through the first half of sunday, but the next one will move in already. before the sun goes down sunday afternoon, we'll see more heavy downpours moving in and continuing sunday night and into monday. some of those heavier downpours could continue into tuesday as well. so we're looking at a long stretch of wet weather and wind energy as well. in fact, we look at the rain chances over the next seven days, you can see how everything is towards the top of the scale beginning saturday continuing through at least tuesday with lingering showers wednesday. let's add up the amount of rain that will fall in that time frame. it's going to be substantial, even in some of the rain shadowed

spots expect over 1 1/2 inches of rain in san jose. you see the other number outlining for a few communities the boom and bust potential. how much would we expect to have these storms underachieve and overachieve. for san jose the overachieve is 2 1/2 inches of rain. concord has a wide range of possibilities. the bust amount could be barely over an inch, the boom amount jackpot 3 1/2 inches of rain. it's a wide range of possibilities depending how these storm systems behave, expecting around 3 inches of rain in san francisco with higher amounts for the north bay, generally 3 to 4 inches of rain, 4 inches in santa rosa, but look at the number on the left-hand side, the jackpot amount, over 6 inches of rain easily possible with 6 inches or more of rain much more likely in some of the higher elevations in the coastal parts of sonoma county and santa cruz mountains. there

will be some wind energy as well. the wind shouldn't be too strong saturday, but it will pick up with the second system coming sunday, 20 to 30-mile-an-hour gusts giving way to 30 to 40-mile-an-hour gusts monday. that's when we become more concerned about at least sporadic power outages and some tree damage. it won't be nearly the kind of wind event we had a week ago sunday, but it still has our attention. make sure your devices are charged up heading into presidents' day weekend. here is that sierra snow forecast. saturday and saturday night will be several inches of snow, not a huge snowmaker. the snow line will be up to 6,000 or 7,000 feet. there will be a lot more moisture monday, tuesday, and wednesday, a winter storm watch in effect where they'll be piling up feet of snow over the course of the next several days. hopefully that's enough to keep your attention for a little while. it's almost exhausting to talk about it. let's look at the seven-day forecast. one more dry day

tomorrow, emphasize the good news. then the wet weather arrives saturday, more rain late sunday, continuing sunday night, rain and wind monday, more rain tuesday, still some lingering showers wednesday and then finally mercifully we have one more dry day in the forecast, but it's a week from today. >> this is like binge your favorite series immediately. >> yeah. make sure everything is charged up as well so you can do that if the power goes out. >> thank you. still ahead, a south water park broke a lot of hearts when it suddenly closed, but there's plans fo

welcome back. san jose's raging waters amusement park is ready for a comeback. can you believe it? city leaders say the park is looking to reopen under new management this summer. raging waters shut down when the last operator ended its lease last year. since then the city has been looking for a new company to take over the park's lease. now it has selected california dreaming entertainment. >> this is a double down and a commitment from the city to be able to say we care about making sure you have access to safe, equitable, affordable and enriching experiences.
