(announcer) gold bond ultimate restoring lotion. coq10 helps skin renew itse. gold bond ultimate restoring. this stuff really works. >> well, this time last year we were foggy and kind of cold and we know that because the blue angels were unable to fly last year. now, my goodness! >> yes beautiful for the forecast today. a few high clouds out there for sure. and the warming trend not as short-lived as we usually get around here which is two days. it's going to continue into the early part of next week. and, in fact the offshore flow will be with us as well the gusty north winds. a live look from mount tam and still dark out there. the sun not coming up until 7:14. and with that we're looking at

temperatures slowly dropping although we saw plenty of 40s yesterday and plenty of 50s this morning. so starting out warmer 59 oakland, 53 menlo park. fremont 59 for you. concord and fairfield also in the upper 50s. so 24 hours ago we were cooler, retaining some of the heat yesterday and that's reflected in the morning temperatures. 10 degrees warmer this morning in fairfield 5 to 6 degrees warmer in the livermore valley as well as concord. but no change in san francisco, although you will see a similar afternoon today with mild to warm conditions. and then tomorrow i think things are going to get pretty warm. we'll call it hot around here with gusty north winds especially over our north bay mountains that's going to last into tuesday. i think tuesday should be the warmest day of the week and slowly we'll see some of that fog return. look at oakland and san francisco with mid and upper 70s today taking you anywhere from 4

to 7 degrees above the average. elsewhere mid-80s should do it from livermore, even redwood city topping out around 80 today. so definitely a warm afternoon, and we'll look at just a little bit of fog this morning. a couple patches flowing through the golden gate and maybe sneaking to hayward. not for long. by 8:00 to 9:00 we'll see more sunshine and more 70s and 80s around the bay. the 90s still out by the delta, the sacramento valley but they could begin to move in a little bit come tomorrow. and notice the fog paralleling the coast today. so even with those northwesterly winds, it's going to be close enough to the coast that half moon bay ocean beach will still be in the 60s. so we still have the storm system to our north that's spreading rain for washington and oregon and for us a couple of high clouds definitely drifting through the sky today. but we've got double barrel high pressure at the surface and the

upper levels of the atmosphere and that's going to result in stronger winds pumping through the atmosphere and that's going to mean temperatures climbing today. so san francisco look for low to mid-70s today for fleet week. and in the south bay a warm afternoon with 80 sunnyvale, 81 cupertino and even 80s sneaking up towards redwood city 81 palo alto. look for mid-60s daly city. north bay numbers warm afternoon for you. once again calistoga and union city and out over the hills into the mid-80s for danville and pleasanton today. fog around salinas and then 85 in morgan hill. so a couple of degrees warmer with each day and that's everywhere coast, bay and inland. a few high clouds today full sunshine. the rest of the work week until the fog drifts back which won't be until the end of the week. so very warm week ahead. >> you were saying high fire

danger. >> definitely. tomorrow and tuesday. >> thank you, lisa. >> coming up at 7:00 "good morning america." brianna is join being us live from new york to tell us what's on tap. good morning. >> good morning, carolyn. good to see you. coming up family and rescue workers in chile as they reach the trapped miners. now bringing them to surface begins. live at the mine. new developments in the case of an american tourist while riding jet skis with his wife and mexican waters. police now expect a drug gang may have been involved. investigating reports that brett favre made unwanted and inappropriate sexual advances toward female employees when he played for the jets. and today's october 10th 2010 or 10/10/10. people with unique anniversary have booked weddings way in advance for today.

♪ welcome back, everyone. demonstrators plan to converge today on every chevron gas station in san francisco. calling for the company to "clean up its act." the rain forest action network will stage oil spill cleanups at various chevron stations to highlight what it calls the company's refusal to clean up

its oil disaster in ecuador. they are calling on chevron to take responsibility for spills and pollution worldwide. the protest is part of 10/10/10 global workday, a reference to today's date. the group says it's a day of action on issues that affect global climate change. there's an alarming new report out on the health of san francisco bay. the water has all sorts of chemicals, much reach the bay from creeks. here's what's in local waterways and how it gets there. >> water flows through diamond canyon, down the 580, all the way down to 880 and here into the bay. >> this is where rainwater from the creek watershed in the oakland hills enters the bay. a new report shows what's being dumped into the bacony contains high levels of pcb's coming from city streets. >> a presence of pcb's

throughout urban areas especially older airs. pcb's make the level of many fish unsafe to eat. >> creeks and storm drains, 15 industrial areas around the bay. waterways near richmond and san pablo were found to be heavily polluted. phil who works next to ream creek in san pablo says the community has tried to help. >> lot of the stuff you see floating around this creek has been cleaned up. water seems much cleaner. >> plastic bags are another polluter. echo creek in oakland restored the creek side with native plants. the new plantings will actually reduce the amount of contaminants entering the bay downstream. as the water slows down all the sediment that it's carrying really is able to slow down and fall out of suspension and gets packed back up in here. so all the contaminants attached

to that sediment are also trapped. >> researchers say while water quality in the bay has improved more needs to be done and they are looking to the public for help. in oakland abc 7. >> a new program to help youngsters pay for their college education is getting underway in san francisco. it's called kindergarten to college. it's an investment in higher education using taxpayers' money to open savings accounts for kids. >> these kindergarteners at sanchez elementary school in san francisco's mission district learned from the mayor they'll soon have a college savings account. >> when you're bigger you're all going to college, right? >> the first in the nation to invest taxpayer money to help children afford higher education. the program is called k-to-college. >> the only way school districts are successful is when entire cities communities get behind

them and believe in the children. >> the amount is just $50 or $100 for low income students. the idea is that private corporations and nonprofits will step up with matching grants and parents are being encouraged to chip in. >> she has set so many goals. >> cruz is talking about her daughter ingrid. she and 1200 kindergarteners will be included in the pilot program with expectations by the third year 100% will be covered. san francisco's program is unique but there are others emphasizing the importance of a college education. including this oakland charter school appropriately called think college now. for the past three years a nonprofit has given fifth graders here $1,000 college scholarships. >> that is something that is tangible, that's something that's powerful and that's going to make sure they're going to stay motivated. >> san francisco's budget authorizes $257,000 to get the

program started. supervisor sean elseburn thinks that's irresponsible given the current financial climate. >> i do not believe that now is the right time to extend ourselves into a new entitlement program that very well could cost us millions of dollars into the future. >> you make investments you don't just make cuts. >> city bank has agreed to set up the kids' accounts for free. they will open december 1st. lisa argen here now to talk about the beautiful weather above normal temps. yes. very little fog as you head outside this morning. you see the beginning of the sun or the dayrise or sunrise i should say. 7:14 is the official sun up and we'll see another warm afternoon getting quite hot for next week. i'll have your forecast. >> also ahead the pride of an urban rescue center.

>> the oakland rent board has rejected appeal from a wildlife center facing eviction. we told you in july the animals were in trouble. many of you stepped up to help. but the center is still struggling to find a home and the head of animal control is worried the city may lose a critical last resort for urban wildlife. here's dan ashley with the assignment 7 report. >> summer is winding down now but this wildlife rescue center

is still packed with babies. these two--month-old raccoons were discovered outside a home in piedmont. >> for about five days they were crying and there was no sign of the mother. >> this baby squirrel was brought in after his mother ate rat poison. >> has it gone through her milk? >> now he's recovering and will be released soon just like the other 5 to 600 animals a year that end up at the wildlife rescue center. they run the center in the backyard of a home in the oakland hills. they got donated labor and supplies worth more than $100,000 to terrace the hillside for easy access to the animals. but as we reported in july, the owner wants them out. >> their lease expired in may. they have stayed on beyond that. i have a handicapped mother who needs use of her property. >> by law they can stay until next may. but the owner raised the rent 66%. director lila travis appealed to

the rent board but just learned she lost. >> as a nonprofit organization depending on donations it's an unfeasible amount of rent for us. >> pay. >> the center is looking for a lawyer to help and in the meantime scrambling to find a new location. so far no luck. lila showed us a scrapbook full of letters after the first story aired. they got $20,000 in donations, a great boost but not enough to buy a permanent home. now center volunteers are launching a letter-writing campaign hoping to get help from an east bay city or park district. >> we're not asking for funding from the city. we just want to be able to continue to do our work and we need a place do it. >> the wildlife center serves the areas around oakland berkeley and alameda. the director of oakland animal control says it is a critical resource. >> we frequently get calls for animals stuck in fences stuck at their homes, injured, hit by cars. there's many, many calls that we

get regarding wild animals that need our assistance. and ebersole is our partner. >> that means more wild animals will have been to be euthanized. for now the wildlife center is hanging on but desperately in need of more volunteers and donations. >> boy, do we have a lot of animals right now that need daily care. >> dan ashley, abc 7 news. >> and on our website, abc7news.com you'll find a link to the wildlife center and details about their letter-writing campaign. just look under "see it on tv." they could also use contributions and volunteers. so if you like warm fuzzy animals, get out there and help. if you like nice weather lisa' here to tell you more about that. >> should be nice. we have fog from mount tam, shallow marine layer there close to the surface. that will quickly retreat to the coast, but it will be close

enough to keep some cool numbers at our beaches. the official sunrise at 7:14 setting before 7:00 tonight. so we'll get into that cool air overnight but it's not going to be as cool as it has been simply because we're retaining some of that heat from the previous day. 55 in san francisco, 59 in oakland. good morning, napa. 50 for you. 54 half moon bay with a couple of 60s los gatos and antioch. so temperatures are as much as 5 to 6 degrees warmer around the bay this morning than we were yesterday. 10 degrees warmer by the delta and temperatures kind of flat in san francisco. you will see a day similar to what you had yesterday. so mild to warm once again today with some hot weather returning tomorrow with the gusty winds in the north bay mountains. that elevates our fire danger tomorrow and tuesday and the fog really not coming back into the middle of the week. come wednesday, thursday. high temperatures today, plenty of 80s around the bay. that's about 6 degrees above the average for livermore today. santa rosa you'll see 86 with

stella's shoulder, the procedure that takes a minute. while it's still being researched one company-funded study found rejections reduced inflammation and increased joint mobility by about 30%. >> we're looking at an overall quality of life. >> while stella heads to recovery angus enjoying the increased mobility she believes is a result of his treatment. >> he could sit a couple days after surgery. now he walks with a bounce. good boy! good boy! >> that was carolyn johnson reporting. that vet procedure from start to finish runses to $3500.

(announcer) gold bond ultimate soothing fragrance free lotion. soothes and calms irritation. fragrance free gold bond ultimate soothing. (together) this stuff really works! >> welcome back everyone. time now 6:47. this is a live look at santa cruz. very pretty there. the sun about to rise. the temperature today 80 degrees. nice day to maybe ride a roller-coaster or just walk along the boardwalk. it's actually a little cooler than yesterday.

84 yesterday. again, expected to be about 80 degrees today. today's date 10/10/10 is proving to be a popular day for weddings worldwide from seoul south korea to sidney australia, mass weddings are taking place on this rare triple date. the u.s. wedding business has noted an uptick in demand as well according to david's bridal there's nearly a ten-fold increase in the number of weddings scheduled today compared to the same weekend last year when the date was 10/11/09. bride's magazine say today's date is popular thanks to a blend of symbolism and support decision as in a perfect ten times three. that suggests good luck. wedding planners are already looking forward to 11/11/11 next year. many brides and grooms pay thousands for a professional to capture their special moments forever.

one bay area couple was devastated when a videographer never came through with any footage of their big day. 7 on your side's michael finney stepped in to help. ♪ >> darren and alisha krup start to feel emotional when they see a videotape of their big wedding date in 2008. >> it's especially emotional because it's been two years since the wedding. yet this is the first time they've seen the video. >> it was like going back in time. >> i just really wanted to have those precious memories. >> for the past two years it looks as though the krups might never see these cherished pictures the only record of their blissful day. >> i didn't want to ever think about not ever getting the video. >> that would have been huge. to not have that record of that day to look back on. >> so what was the problem? the krups had hired videographer

alfred wakim to record the ceremony and reception. they paid him $2,400 and wakim promised to deliver a finished dvd within two months of the big day. just as planned, wakim showed up with a crew and captured each special moment of their wedding. >> there were bridesmaids and groomsmen getting ready before the wedding all the way to the cake cutting and the dancing. >> so afterwards alisha couldn't wait to see all the video wakim had shot. >> i think i e-mailed him on our honeymoon in jamaica. >> she was checking the mailbox, checking the mailbox. >> two months passed and the promised video did not arrive. wakim told her it would be coming soon. however three more months passed and a year and a year and a half and still no record of their wedding. >> there is multiple promises for christmas, new year's, for our anniversary. >> and then suddenly they

stopped hearing from wakim all together. alisha looked online and was horrified to find more complaints about wakim from other brides who said he didn't deliver their wedding videos either. that's when she called "7 on your side," and we tracked down wakim. he told us he had had some personal problems the past two years; that he planned for the krups' dvd to be put together in time for their second wedding anniversary. finally this dvd arrived in the mail. the krups wasted no time. >> it was great to be able to sit down and relive those memories. we can't wait to show our family. >> wakim said i work alone and have many projects going on at the same time. it kind of got lost in the mix unintentionally. alisha and darren are cool people and they have a right to be upset but i wanted to give them quality and am not going to just slap things together.

>> i'm so happy that i finally contacted "7 on your side." i really believe that we wouldn't have the video today if it hadn't been for your help. >> the couple said after all was said and done, they were pretty happy with the finished project. now, if you're hiring a photographer or videographer for your wedding, it's always a good idea to go online and look for consumer reviews and don't pay the entire cost up front. i'm michael

>> a new film that's in theaters this weekend called secretariat. it is of course about the amazing horse that won the triple crown back in 1973. it's a disney film. you know abc 7 is owned by the walt disney company. don sanchez is on the aisle and in the saddle ♪. >> he was a horse that captured a nation's imagination a horse that would come from behind to

win going after the triple crown. >> secretariat is not afraid, and neither am i. >> his owner was most unconventional. penny tweetty took over her father's horse farm and even though she had no horse racing experience this housewife had business smarts. >> you're guarantying this worse is going to win the triple crown. three races three states, in just five weeks. that hasn't been done in 25 years. >> she hired a trainer played by john malkovich. she is actress diane lang co-starring with five horses that play the secretariat role. >> you have to make it like it's the horse's idea. that's the key. >> she liked the role of a male-dominated existence. >> wasn't a particularly feminine trait to have that much self-confidence. i think the media baited her

quite quite visionally. >> it's a bit too familiar i'm afraid. good close up racing action but hard to come up with inspired story telling when we already know how it's going to end. i should have put oats in my bucket instead of popcorn. >> all right, then. let's show 'em what you're made of! >> secretariat in a dead heat i have to give it half a bucket. i'm don sanchez, abc 7 news. >> the annual fleet week salute from the u.s. military with a parade of ships and another spectacular air show over the bay. the precision flying team the blue angels flies between 3:00 and 4:00 this afternoon. yesterday's show was the first performance in two years after the fog forced them to cancel last year's show. the blue angel pilots say they love performing over san francisco bay. >> you're not gonna find a prettier place to fly than san francisco.

the golden gate bridge alcatraz, angel island, downtown san francisco, it's an amazing place to fly. >> this year's fleet has expanded as well with ten impressive ships on display along the embarcadero. it was just one last year. you should expect lots of traffic and hard to come by parking so mass transit might be the ticket. today is also italian heritage day in san francisco with a parade up columbus avenue in north beach. it starts at 4:30 this afternoon. the city has celebrated its italian heritage for 142 years now. it's the city's oldest civic event and the nation's oldest italian american parade. and fleet week is playing a role this year. the grand marshal is vice admiral richard hunt. he is commander of the navy's third fleet. so how will the weather be for all that? >> we have a little fog out there. a deck of low clouds and also higher clouds.

so today mostly sunny and temperatures similar to yesterday across the bay with 73 downtown. we'll be looking at temperatures elsewhere climbing to the low to mid-80s. 85 concord 81 fremont 82 san jose with low 80s in the north bay. fog now in santa cruz but later on 80 there. and a look ahead not only less fog with each day but some gustier winds come tomorrow and wednesday. >> all right. thank you, lisa. and thank you for joining us. i'm meg whitman's nose is growing again. this time she's lying about jerry brown on taxes. but as governor jerry brown cut $4 billion in taxes and says no new taxes without voter approval. meg whitman -- her nose just keeps on growing and growing.
