9:02 am
sick from school will affect their grades, extracurricular activities or social status. that's according to a new survey from the university of michigan health. the survey also found that parents are struggling right now when it comes to deciding whether their kids should stay home from school when they're sick. many factors include how their child is behaving due to their symptoms. meanwhile, 1 in 5 say they routinely consider if their child needs a mental health day. welcome to the nine some important topics i remember back in my days of school. you know, staying home sick, you know, especially yeah, sometimes i would just stay home sick because i wanted to stay home, you know, recognize those as mental health days now. mental health. yeah. yeah. you're just being lazy back then. but some kids you do need a little. you need to step back a little bit when things are get get a lot of pressure. >> but the pandemic also changed the calculus about when to send your kids, keep your kids home and when to send them at school, because there's kind of this sense of if my kids coughing a
9:03 am
lot, i that's icky. i shouldn't send them to school because they're going to disrupt the class. whereas before the pandemic, kids went to school sick all the time. the bar was the fever. yeah, the bar was the fever growing up. and also there were more parents. there were fewer parents working from home back then. now, you know, if your kid is kind of, you know, iffy, maybe feeling sick, there's a parent staying working from home. it's easy to keep them at home. >> but i think that the stress too, for kids, especially at the high school level, they're taking so many classes, ap and honors classes that when they do skip school, they are really behind. and so they feel the pressure as well. like i think at the elementary school level, you can kind of keep them home, get the packet, do the thing and make those decisions. i find that the older high school kids, they are like, i can't. and then the stress of like missing and making it up and doing all that seems like a lot weighs in because, you know, when you, you know, go into real life, you're dealing with even more stress. >> you know, it seems crazy for kids to be dealing with that much stress that, yeah, it's certainly something as an
9:04 am
overall that as a society and education system, we need to think about. >> sure. all right. time now is 903 on the clock. certainly lots to talk about as we, take a look at our weather and gosh, i love this weather. steve. i know it's not going to last. i know it's not everyone is going to get it today, but i wish it would stick around just a smidge longer. >> don't you worry. it'll get it'll be back. just just not wednesday, thursday, friday. >> just not right now, now for many, today will still be sunny and nice and warm, especially east and south. but that's a pretty good little fog bank that's still hanging around about petaluma. looks like it's burning off novato now, a little bit over san pablo bay, but especially santa rosa and on the marin coast, san mateo coast, there's only patchy fog there. but on the sonoma coast, it's thick as thieves there. oh are you going to move? please move. there you go. so for santa rosa, i cooled it off yesterday. 77. today went 68 san francisco, oakland and santa cruz. even if they don't have a lot of fog, i know the city does. oakland does
9:05 am
not. santa cruz does not. i think there's more of an onshore breeze that will allow for temperatures to cool down a little bit. so fog returns for some. not for all, but for some. tomorrow there will be a big drop. coastal fog will be back in all its glory and then much colder, windy and rain returns thursday into friday. not much in the way of any of the fog reducing visibility anymore. it's starting to lift there in petaluma. novato. it's gone. santa rosa is still holding on to a half mile, a teeny bit around half moon bay, but not much there. 50s on a lot of the temps, or 40s if you're stuck in the soup or the fog. but that's a pretty good little decent fog band, considering there was none there yesterday. water temps are about 54 to 56. the high winds out for one more nice day inland and even bayside. that's a cold, cold system coming in which will sweep through starting tomorrow into thursday. that's when we get rain. i expect rain thursday. cold and windy. friday morning. rain friday afternoon. evening. it looks like maybe a little break saturday before another system comes in here. on sunday. i tend to favor this pattern staying active into april and maybe even early may. it's just the way it's been. but for today, if you're inland, sunny, nice to warm coast still.
9:06 am
maybe sunny for some, but some coast sonoma coast might be a tall order to burn off there. so 5060s and some mid 70s away from the coast. much cooler starts tomorrow than big changes thursday friday you guys. >> thank you steve. happening now. nurses in santa clara are on strike. they say hospitals in the county are asking them to do too much. and not offering them enough in exchange. ktvu is james torres live in san jose with how this could affect patients? james >> alec good morning. well, nearly 4000 nurses have been on the job for a couple of hours now. some of them working the overnight shift, stepping off their shift and going straight to the picket lines. here you can see just how many are outside santa clara valley medical center this morning, covering almost every corner of this intersection here. just about 2000 coming from this hospital campus alone. they'll also be doing similar demonstrations at o'connor hospital and san luis regional in gilroy as well. now, county officials say that they've brought in temporary nurses to
9:07 am
help ease the work gap that will be caused as a result of this, a cost they say will be worth about $20 million. they say emergency services will not be affected, but they may need to contact you if your appointments are affected. that means anything like non-emergency surgeries could be one of those situations. now here's how we got here. the registered nurses professional association says they've been without a contract with the county for about five months. in that time, they tell us that they've not seen enough investments to help recruit and retain nurses, and that there have been an increase in workplace violence. staffing levels have become a problem, nurses say, to the point where the ratio of patients to nurses is now becoming dangerous. and they tell us they're also fed up with the health system, asking those nurses to float between hospitals took those hospitals have different policies and procedures, which endangers the patient. >> when our nurses have to go to other facilities because we're
9:08 am
not aware of the hospital policies at that location, we only know the policies at the location that we were hired into and that we work regularly. >> county representatives say they have tried bargaining in good faith. a statement by over a week old now says in part. the county hoping that the rmpa will return to the table so that we can continue to working toward reaching an agreement on a fair, competitive and sustainable contract. we are taking all necessary steps to safeguard patients, employees and visitors from the impacts of any possible strike activity. in addition, county leaders say nurses have seen a 13% wage increase in the last fiscal year. they say vacancies and turnover rates in the area are also lower than the national average. we also expect to hear from county leaders once again a little later this morning, responding to the strike that has now officially begun. today as of about 5:00. now, these nurses say the numbers provided by the county are a little bit skewed. that's
9:09 am
because they say the county is counting in these temporary nurses that they hire in to fill in some of the gaps that the nurses leave behind. and those temporary workers aren't usually working in these area hospitals regularly. we know that strike began this morning. it's expected to last for three days until friday morning. we're live this morning from san jose. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> james, thank you. police say three people are in the hospital this morning after being shot in a safeway parking lot in american canyon. it happened late yesterday afternoon outside the grocery stores gas station on west american canyon road. dozens of police evidence markers at the scene here show where the shots were fired, and there are bullet holes and shattered windows in a car behind the crime tape. police have questioned at least two possible suspects during the investigation. >> following the shooting, officers located two male subjects that are being detained for questioning. right now at this time, there's no current threat to the community.
9:10 am
>> we're still trying to find out the condition of the three men who were wounded. investigators say it's still not clear what led to that gunfire. >> san francisco police say 216 year old boys are under arrest in connection with a deadly shooting of another teenager. the 17 year-old victim's body was found shot thursday night near the powell street bart station. his name has not yet been released. investigators say two juveniles were quickly identified as suspects in that homicide and arrested the next day. both have been booked at the juvenile justice center, and their names will not be released since they are minors. >> a family is frustrated with the cruise line after their 80 year old mother suffered a stroke, but the cruise line never told the family about her emergency. julia lenkov was on a norwegian cruise line touring african countries when she suffered that stroke. she was taken to a hospital in the central african nation of sao tomé, and was released 24 hours later. lenkov's daughter says by that time the cruise ship was gone, but some other american passengers who missed boarding the ship when they returned late
9:11 am
from an excursion took care of her mother. they contacted lenkov's daughter so she could fly her mother to the bay area and take her to stanford medical center. >> it's really hard to experience that, that she was helpless, that she was alone and yet she made it. >> her daughter says the cruise line should do a better job notifying the passengers. emergency contacts when there is a problem. we reached out to norwegian cruise lines, the company says they tried to call lenkov several times but were unable to reach her, saying, quote, in instances such as these, as the guest was released from the hospital and in a coherent state, our protocol is to contact the guest directly, as we would not have the authority to share any medical details with anyone else without their expressed consent, end quote. >> all right. now to baltimore, where cleanup and recovery continues from the collapse of the key bridge. but work crews are hitting roadblocks while clearing debris from the channel. it's dangerous for those crews to navigate the area where the collapse bridge fell into the water. tons of sharp, twisted metal from the key
9:12 am
bridge, still on top of that cargo ship that slammed into the bridge last week and damaged underwater the surface of the water. just as complicated too, with the mercury, water, mercury , murky water making it hard for divers to see beyond 1 or 2ft below the waterline along the bottom is very challenging because these girders are essentially tangled together, intertwined, making it very difficult to figure out where you need to eventually cut so that we can make that into more manageable sizes to lift them. yesterday, crews tried to clear a temporary channel on one side of the bridge, collapsed to help with ship traffic. for those coming to help with the cleanup, the company, based in singapore that owns and manages that cargo ship, has filed court documents aimed at limiting their legal liability for the deadly crash if they are found responsible. >> right now, all state parks in the big sur area are closed indefinitely following saturday's road collapse on highway one. the closures
9:13 am
include andrew molera, julia pfeiffer, burns, limekiln and pfeiffer. big sur state parks, as well as point sur state historic park, camping reservations have been canceled. anyone with a reservation is going to get a refund. >> well, the future of the oakland a's remains in limbo. coming up on mornings on two. the nine. the proposed extension that could see the a's stay in oakland for the next five years. also ahead, three and four people say they often feel stressed about money. as we mark financial capability month, we want to highlight the free resources available for people to teach them to reach their financial goals. we'll talk with the san francisco public library live about how people can learn to av inves

financial capability month is a national campaign to promote financial literacy and give people the information and tools they need to meet their financial goals. and as part of that, san francisco public library is providing a month of free programing for people to learn how to manage their financial lives and plan for their futures, and really, at its most basic, financial literacy is about being able to make informed decisions about money. and a big part of that is knowing how to navigate our financial systems in today's economy, which, frankly, can be really intimidating, confusing, and stressful, this is especially true in the bay area with such a high cost of living and, you know, not to mention the ongoing economic recovery from the pandemic. so we want people to know that the library is here to provide them with all that information to manage their financial lives and make good decisions about money. >> the stats are clear, and we report on them every so often. 2

9:20 am
experience levels and finances. and so some just really don't know where to start, and i think what we do for, for those folks is, explain to them how these processes work and what options they have, and really, you know, you never want to wait when you're facing a financial crisis . the time to act is now, and so , so, you know, i think that's a big part of it is we we're empowering people. we're giving them the capability to address whatever is, thrown their way. right. >> so you the program, by the way, is going to be available in different languages, spanish, i think cantonese, mandarin as well. >> so. right. so in addition to, all of our workshops and presentations that we're offering, we offer opportunities for folks to meet one on one with a smart money coach or a certified financial, planner. and the smart money coaching, yes, is available in english, spanish, mandarin and cantonese.

francisco was 76th in health care and 28th in fitness, it ranked number one in both healthy food and green space availability. honolulu came in second, followed by seattle and san diego. washington, d.c. rounded up the top five. you know, i have to say, i believe the urban gem that is golden gate park is a big contributor to that ranking. having outdoor space, it is one of the largest, oldest, most beautiful parks in the nation. and i was looking at some of the statistics about it because it was interesting to me, 24 million visits to that park every year visits meaning sometimes the same person coming back multiple times. but half of those visits are from san francisco. locals. >> yeah, no, i think look, if you live anywhere in the city and you walk where you're going because it's just easier and there's no parking, you're going to be healthier. i grew up in north beach, and so the whole, you know, run along the water if you want to run to the golden gate bridge and run to the ferry, you can't really complain

9:33 am
it's a real talker. >> it is a talker because there are so many opinions. one of the biggest opinions, of course, san francisco international airport, they do not want to see san francisco, added to okc's name. and in a news release yesterday, a representative expressed concern, saying that the new name could be misleading and will cause confusion for the public, either through a misunderstanding of its physical location or its perceived relationship to sfo. but nearly 20 organizations and city leaders support this change, saying it will help bring people to oakland and to the east bay. >> we would hate to see a situation where a traveler or books thinking that they're going to one location, and then only when they land do they realize that they're somewhere else, that they hadn't intended to go to. >> this name modification is about oakland. it's about bringing inbound travelers to oakland. our proposal is pro oakland and pro jobs. >> the port of oakland's commission is expected to vote on the name change next
9:34 am
thursday, supporters say, adding san francisco bay to the oakland international airport's name would help better identify geographically where the city of oakland is, and they want travelers to know that they could get to popular bay area locations from oakland now. okay they would remain the airport's code, even if the name does change. sfo officials, though, are talking about maybe taking legal action to prevent this name change. back to you at the desk, andre. >> all right. thank you so much, amanda. executives at the for the oakland athletics are set to meet with oakland city leaders. it's a meeting that could determine the immediate future of the a's in the bay area. the city expected to offer a five year lease extension to the a's at the oakland coliseum. the a's current lease expires at the end of the season. the new $97 million deal would give the a's a temporary home in oakland. that figure would be a huge rent increase, but would allow the a's to remain at the coliseum while their new vegas stadium is built. oakland mayor shengtao released a statement saying, quote, i remain committed to

9:37 am
country. >> we are just doing stories on that with clean air emissions and vehicles and how california started it. and now other states are following. i think eight other ones have now just kind of hopped on board, said, okay, let's kind of phase out gas powered vehicles and go to clean energy. in terms of, i know you mobilize young people, right. and what i think is interesting about your group, right, is that you mobilize people in like kind of the groups of where it makes sense to them. right so young people, parents are saying, okay, parents, here are how the issue is make sense to you. and then people can kind of get behind that idea. the younger generation i think has a has a different take on on climate change and really grown up with the conversation on. are you seeing that as well? >> yeah, absolutely. i think everyone from my generation has kind of felt that climate change is this ever present, looming force. and i think that a lot of us are very motivated to take climate action and a little bit because we don't feel like there's another choice. we have to do this to secure our future. and i think that taking climate action, especially locally,
9:38 am
allows us to have a foothold and to make a real difference and not be so overwhelmed by how how much it is. >> no, i think that is interesting. right like the conversation that has never not been a part of your existence is for older generations was something that you had to introduce and something that you had to say, okay, start level one. here's here's what we're talking about by this terminology. and level two, you know, kind of what we need to do about it in terms of how much change you've seen. i know you've been with the group since 2021. are you seeing a trend where people are hopping more on board? are you seeing where there's some push and pull? because certainly when you say the words climate change to, you know, there can be a fierce debate across the country. >> yeah, absolutely. i think luckily here in the bay area, we don't have to have that debate as much. i think the it's good to shift the conversation away from, is it a problem because we should know that it is a problem and start moving towards the conversation of what can we do about it? what will be the fastest way to invoke change? because we really need things to

the problems, solutions to the problems that are happening right now and especially in the bay area. >> if you join a 2021. that was right after we had really all the wildfires that we were having. it was really hard to say this isn't impacting. it was impacting us every day in in new ways. it seemed like just when we thought we'd got an understanding of one one issue, another one would pop up. how can people most help if people are saying, okay, this makes sense to me, i want to kind of get involved. what is the best way for them to get involved and are there different ways where people comfort levels? right. some people want to march, some people want to volunteer, some people want to do in different spaces. yeah absolutely. >> i mean, there's so many different ways for every different kind of skill set and interest to get involved. we really recommend getting involved with a local grassroots group because not only are you building community and building resilience in your area, it really is one of the best ways to leverage your power at a local level. our our city councilors, our county board of
9:40 am
supervisors, they have to listen to us. and, you know, here in the bay area, we have the potential to make such a big impact. so, you know, getting involved with a group like ours, like 350 bay area, you can honestly just join our monthly meetings at the end of the month. we do. you know, 3 or 4 actions on zoom together and even that's a good way to learn more about what's going on. >> community is so important, and it's the beginning of a conversation. but as we've said, a lifelong conversation. absolutely, zoe, thanks so much for coming in. thanks for all the work you guys are doing with 350. >> thanks so much for having me. >> i appreciate it. and if you'd like to donate to 350 bay area, we have also made that easy for you. there's a qr code right there on your screen. you can scan it now, or you can head to our website, ktvu .com/ giving day and coming up on mornings on two the nine. you'll know him from mad men, even fargo, but this time he is taking on an entirely new role. we'll hear from jon hamm about that role and what's next
9:41 am
9:42 am
9:43 am
iconic business executives in the tv series mad men. now, actor jon hamm has narrated a
9:44 am
business book called when business is love. that's the title of it. i spoke with the emmy award winning actor this morning. we talked about his latest project and how it is very different from some of the roles he's tackled in the past. actor jon hamm, i'm thrilled to speak with you. big fan of your work. you've had a long and storied career in all types of projects, from tv to film, this new project, though now you've narrated a book, tell us about it, well, it's a yeah, it's my first foray into sort of business literature, so to speak. but i've done the audiobook for, the ceo of a pretty impressive company called heston's, who makes, the greatest beds in the world. and this project kind of came to me. it was pitched to me as this idea of sort of a new way of thinking about running a company in a new way of sort of engaging consumers with their product.
9:45 am
and it basically is sort of removing the idea of this kind of killer be killed, antagonistic way of running a company and leading with positivity and love. and the what yan has done with his his over 100 year old company, almost 200 year old company at this point, is run the company under under those foundations of leading with positivity and treating his workers fairly and treating everybody as if they are aspirational and wanting this, this product that they provide. so it was kind of an interesting idea for me. and when they reached out to me to do it, i said, yeah, that sounds great. i'd like to be a part of that message. >> had you ever heard of this company before? and then do you think they approached you? because it's kind of the message of this book is kind of the antithesis of what don draper was in mad men. >> i think there there could have been certainly could have been some sort of ironic sensibility, but i think they approached me because i don't know if you've are familiar with my voice, but it's a pretty good
9:46 am
voice, i think. and, and people like hearing it. it's relatively soothing, especially when you're talking about beds, i had heard of their, of the heston's bed before it sort of this magical thing. they have this very recognizable, check, gingham, pattern, but i had never experienced it, and i must say, once i did, i was sold. >> how different is the process for you as an actor narrating a book or doing? you've done a lot of voice over work. you're the animated series grimsburg. you're the lead, character voice of the lead character in that fox series, but how different is the process doing that kind of voiceover work versus, filming something as an actor on a set, very different. obviously with, with something like grimsburg or any of the various animated, projects i've taken on, you're playing a character with this, you're sort of you're narrating a story, you're telling someone else's story in a almost a neutral aspect, which is very
9:47 am
fun. not my first audiobook that i've done, by the way, but, but certainly the first in this, genre, the, you know, sort of like i said, business, tutorial kind of writing, but it's, it's, it's engaging with the material, is that part of it is very similar. you really just want to engage with the, the, the, the source of the material and how it kind of feels. and hopefully, transfer that across the waves to, to the listener. >> you've won many awards in your career emmys, screen actors guild awards, did you know from an early age that you wanted to be an actor? how did you get into it? is it something, a calling that you kind of found later in life? well, there's a couple stories, i guess you could, you know, i my, my first acting job was in first grade. >> i played winnie the pooh in my class production of winnie the pooh. so i was the lead at a very early age. but, i also. so, got into it in high school and
9:48 am
college. i had a theater scholarship at the university of missouri. i did a quite a few plays there to varying degrees of success, and i've just kind of done it, my whole life. really, i only recently did i start getting paid for it. so it was, you know, it was kind of that that kind of thing. it just i kept finding myself, in the theater groups and surrounded by by the acting types. and i enjoy it, and that's kind of, tangentially. what what? this is this book is about, too, is like, find your find the thing you really enjoy doing and then bring the people along and treat them well. and everybody will have a positive experience. and ideally your, your company or your project or whatever you're working on will be infused with that sensibility and that will, bear fruit. >> so interesting. yeah yeah, it is really interesting how people pick projects and what speaks to
9:49 am
them. and i know you asked him that in terms of like, so, you know. >> yeah. had you heard of this company before? because i had not heard of it before, but i also haven't bought a million dollar mattress. that's not in my price range anywhere near it. but i also have to say, you know, i was a little, like, starstruck, a little bit nervous doing the interview with him. but i appreciated he was willing to talk about other things, not just the thing that he was promoted. you never know with actors. sometimes they just want to promote what they're what they're there to promote the latest project. >> i mean, you know, his face is on this book. at first i was like, wait, he's narrating someone else's book? yes. and so i'm like, okay, so they have his face on it. so they're going to sell more books because his voice on it, his voice is on it. yeah. so of course, i mean, i would hope that people would want to ask him about, but he has a great voice and we were just talking. >> yeah, i listen to a lot of audiobooks. and if it's someone i can't listen to, even if the writing is fantastic, i'm like, the voice is important. it matters. >> inflection, i mean, and he's got a great voice. yeah, he's got a great voice. and he knows
9:50 am
that he referenced. he knows he has a great voice. >> oh yeah, he said that in the interview. >> well, you know, we'll have to have a lot of it is his stock and trade. >> it's a modest guy. >> just like the real the real mad men character that he played. all right, let's move on now. still to come. it was a star studded iheartradio music awards show coming up on fine lines? make an appointment with this. hyaluronic plumping water cream by l'oreal. with micro hyaluronic acid. hydrates better than the #1 hyaluronic gel moisturizer. in 2 weeks, lines are visibly reduced. plumping water cream by l'oreal. we're worth it.
