50%. story from abc7's laura anthony. >> as heavy equipment moves thousands of tons of earth and rock into place the expansion of the reservoir is beginning to take shape. >> we are raising the top of the dam by 34 feet, which enables us to increase the maximum water levels of the dam, going to 150,000-acre capacity. >> the added capacity will help take pressure off the frag jill delta ecosystem, requiring less water to be pumped from the central valley. the project will provide long-term stability for the contra costa water district 500,000 customers, an insurance of sorts during drought years. it's all being done under budget and at least six months ahead of schedule. >> this contractor wanted to do it much more aggressive and accelerated so he's actually done an approach where he's

afternoon. then a warm weather pattern still on tap for wednesday and thursday with an offshore flow, and we will return to some numbers above average. here's our fog. you notice by 11:00 it's peeling back out of oakland and emeryville. but it's still along the coast. but by 1:00 it should be very pleasant outside and we will look for the sun to allow the numbers to warm back into the mid-and upper 70s inland, east bay and also down around the south bay. but look at the coast right here. we will see the fog back and forth. it sort of will move about throughout the afternoon. but it will be a pleasant day today, all due to high pressure deflecting this weather system to the north. it's the next one behind it that is going to bring us some overriding moisture mainly north of the golden gate monday afternoon. it will bring the clouds all across the bay, and then we could still see some sprinkles as far south as monterey. but quickly behind this, the ridge rebuilds and that's our warmer weather. so we will take you through the

next day or so. here we are, 6:00. monday morning commute and we have the usual low clouds and fog, mist and drizzle along the coast, but throughout the day the clouds increase. here come the line of rain. it's still very far to the north. but by the evening commute, some north bay sprinkles. overnight we could see some showers. but by tuesday morning it's really out of here, 9:00, 10:00 and we will be back into a sunny afternoon and numbers coming up to where they should be. enjoy that. and today upper 60s. so a beautiful afternoon out there. in terms of the south bay, numbers will be fairly similar. 75 in sunyvale, and on the peninsula you notice the cloud, the cooler on shore flow. 64 there. 74 redwood city. san francisco upper 60s. the sunset district it should be a little gray from time to time. in the north bay you will see the clouds at stinson beach, bodega bay and sunny in sonoma,

>> it's from early this morning as we were getting ready to go on the air. and i was doing a little dance and they recorded it. >> oh, okay. well, that's probably cute. it's not going to lead to you losing your job, right? >> well, no, no. i don't know, we will see. when my bosses see it, we will find out. >> i'll look forward to that. that's quite a tees there, dan. >> that's my job. >> all right. we will see you at seven. >> see you later. >> all right. we are going to turn to sports now and the death of raiders owner al davis, which is big news throughout the nfl where he was a true pioneer. mike shumann has reaction from players in sports. >> good morning. well, al davis, the man who coined the phrase "just win, baby," passed away yesterday at his home in piedmont age of 82. cause of death is not known. he did more for the nfl than probably anyone involved in the game. a coach, assistant coach, owner, and american league commissioner, he was a maverick, doing things his way, and that

was the raider way. he won three super bowls in the process. he was loyal to his players, coaches and his fans. and the only color he saw was silver and black. he hired the first african-american coach, the first latino coach, and the first female ceo. we caught up with some of his former and current players who are saddened by al's passing. >> i feel saddened by it. i was walking around in the morning getting ready to go through walk through and one of the players saw it on the news and told me and i tried to reach out to some guys and see how everything is going. but it's tough. definitely shocking news for us. you know, we get here last night and then wake up this morning and hear that we've lost our owner, the guy that led this team for many, many years. it was tough. it was tough to take in as a team. i understand what he meant to this organization. >> he will be missed.

>> welcome back. yesterday morning someone broke into the timeron salmon institute and cut nets, releasing about 20,000 salmon. last week thousands more were set free and this morning an investigation is underway. >> reporter: 40,000 sammons used to swim in these pens. 27-year-old gillis said they were his babies. he and his classmates at the high school in petaluma were responsible for every stage of their lives. >> yeah, we took care of them, we spawned them from mother and father fish and raised them from before they were even fish. >> reporter: it was a collaborative effort with the foundation and the timeron salmon institute, whose motto is

empowering today's youth to save tomorrow's salmon. the students raised the fish for several months in a hatchery at school and transferred them to prepare for a release into the bay. someone deliberately cut the ties that held the fish in the nets. >> it's a sad state where you can't raise fish to give back to the wild without somebody vandalizing the project. >> reporter: the fish were going to be released this month, but not this way. every year the students have a ceremony to say good-bye to their babies. now they have been deprived of any event that celebrates their hard work. >> everyone can say we need to do something, but we are the kids who are out there doing it. we are restoring the creek, restoring the salmon populations, and just helping the environment that surrounds us. >> the institute said it may have been mistaken for a fish farm where fish are kept in a much smaller place to be raised for food. the marin county sheriff's department said it's investigating the crime as vandalism and grand theft.

the rally against corporate greed, known as the occupy movement, is moving into the 11th day in san francisco. [chanting] "occupy wall street, occupy wall street." demonstrators have been camping out in front of the federal reserve bank at market and main streets. it began in new york and has spread nationwide. protesters in new york city have grown to several thousands. the demonstrators made a peaceful march to washington square park yesterday. the computer hacking group known as anonymous is pledging to take down computers at the new york stock exchange tomorrow as an extension of the protest. the nation's capital has caught occupied fever. a large, mostly peaceful crowd, rallied in mcpherson square this weekend. many form the number 99, representing what they feel is the number of people in the country without influence.

and anti-war demonstrators closed down the national air and space museum for the day. they tried to enter the museum to protest a drone exhibit. and the government's effort to crack down on pot farms in california is not stopping an expo. the three day expo is going on at the cal palace. but some venders did back out at the last minute. an expo spokesperson said some people are scared after federal prosecutors announced they would crackdown on medical spot dispensaries. the dispensaries are legal under state law, still illegal under federal law. a new controversy is shaking up the san francisco's mayor's race and presenting a thread to mayor ed lee's campaign. on friday dennis called on the u.s. and state attorneys general to open a criminal investigation into allegations mayor lee's campaign laundered money through business associates.

that accusation says it was done in order to exceed campaign limit donations. the california fair political practices commission has already opened its own civil investigation. >> the buck ultimately stops with those who are engaging in the activity. and at this point we don't know who was involved in the activity. we obviously know who the contributors were but we don't know if anybody was directing people, we don't know who was aware of it. >> at issue, an 8,500-dollar contribution mayor lee's campaign received from an airport shuttle company that received certain concessions at sfo. in a statement sent to abc7, lee's campaign accuses herrera of abouncing his position at city attorney for a, quote, politically motivated investigation over money we returned over a result of our own concerns." >> mettologist lisa argen is

here and the weather today is nice. >> it will be nice but the winds have shifted overnight and the onshore push has pushed the clouds across the bay. the view from mount tam, a pretty picture. the sun coming up after 7:00. mostly sunny skies, fog at the coast. slightly cooler. rain tomorrow is a possibility. we will talk about it next. >> all right. we will also update the environmental disaster down under as oil continues to leak from a tanker off knee zeal land.

international crews are scrambling trying to prevent an environmental disaster off the coast of new zealand. a container ship is ground on a reef, leak being oil into the pristine bay of plenty. new zealand's prime minister has taken a helicopter tour of the damage. he said he wants to know why the liberian-flagged ship hit the well-mapped reef in calm waters on wednesday. crews have been rescuing and you saw them cleaning wildlife. they are hoping to unload tons of fuel in case the ship breaks up. >> lisa is here now and lots of activities going on, not just in san francisco but all over the bay area today. >> it should be a beautiful day. the clouds will clear temporarily the coast, hopefully just enough time for the airshow later on today. but tomorrow we are looking at more cloud cover and a weak system that's going to head our way, maybe bring some showers. mount tam this morning looking

good above the deck of low clouds at 1500 feet. the sun up at 6:12 and setting at 6:41. we are looking for changes to our warm weather pattern as soon as tomorrow. right now it's 57 hayward. good morning. 59 mountain view. this morning we are much warmer due to the cloud cover. the low clouds have encompassed the bay area, except for concord. you are clear right now. elsewhere clouds in livermore and some dense fog from santa rosa to napa. four-mile visibility along the coast, half moon bay. sfo, days of 44 minutes and about a quarter mile to a tenth of a mile around napa. so definitely the fog is out there this morning. we will see another weather system head to the south tomorrow. but it's only going to make to the north bay. that's why we are looking at a chance of showers, mainly in the north bay. clouds elsewhere, and then the warm weather pattern still underway for the middle of the week.

here we are until ten, eleven o'clock. you will notice the fog just lingering around the bay. by 1:00 it does clear and we will see a sunny afternoon. a westerly wind that will allow still for some very pleasant temperatures, 60s and 70s. but the san mateo coast and the marin coast, it will be a couple of hours of clearing. then the fog moves back quickly. we will enjoy almost as nice a day today as we had yesterday. high pressure is in command. it keeps this weather system to the north for the most part. but there's a little piece of energy that's going to allow the cloud cover, some moisture to head our way tomorrow. mainly in the north bay. we are going to take you hour by how shall, starting out at 6:00 for your monday morning commute and we will see the mist and the drizzle from the marin coast, the sonoma coast and to the east bay. cold front hung up in the north bay throughout the entire day. by 5:00 the evening commute may again to see light rain in the north bay.

it's the overnight hours on monday and into tuesday morning, then we clear on out. it's sunny, mild, and the offshore flow takes hold by wednesday. 75 in sunyvale today with cupertino coming in at 76. san mateo, 72 for you. looking at 64 in pacifica. a sunny afternoon downtown. but the sunset, the richmond district holding on to the clouds through about noontime. 75 in pet loom ma. 73 today in oakland. 74 in fremont. by about 3:00 we will see 78 in concord. a beautiful day. some dense fog early, but then it will lift and we will look for numbers to come up into the upper 60s in monterey. so tomorrow with the increasing clouds, the rain should favor the north bay in the afternoon. elsewhere, just clouds, warmer, dryer, sunnier all week long and then friday into saturday we cool down. >> of course. it's the weekend. thanks, lisa.

>> children living in the fran mission district is often underserved but one program is helping give students who live in the mission not just get interested in science, but excited about it. our education reporter, leeann, shows why this program is attracting so much attention. >> it's 8:30:00 in the morning and the kindergarten class at mckinney elementary is going exploring. their one mile walk will take them to the mission science workshop located at mission high. >> what we are going to do first is go in the workshop and take a little feet, and i will give you some exploration time. >> for the next several minutes of free time they will discover new sounds and experience new concepts, while getting acquainted with things they have only read about. they move on, learning about the five senses. >> taste, touch, and sight.

schools in the mission district get nearly two hours of science every time they visit. he wants underserved kids to learn by exploring. >> being aware that most of their parents had little or no education. so we are, of course, very put off by science or just afraid of it. >> with so many interesting objects, it's hard to think about a favorite. >> the fishys over there, all the rocks or the fossils, yeah, or that giant mammoth thing over there. >> this is a group of fourth graders from santos elementary. today's lesson focuses on sources of power. >> did you read how many vultures you are expected to find? >> 1.5. >> one-third of their funding comes from the department of children, youth and families. but private entities, like foundations, also support the workshop. they would like see america regain its competitive edge in science. >> our foundation truly believes

has been looking into what happened. >> it was an exciting moment for this woman. >> i pledge the allegiance to the flag. >> in a group ceremony in oakland. the orthodontist from india took her oath as a naturalized u.s. citizen. >> so many people from all different nations, it was touching and moving. >> right after that she applied for her u.s. passport so she could fly to india for a conference. >> they said two weeks. >> she received her naturalized certificate in the mail, but not the passport. she waited three more weeks and then began to worry. >> i looked up the tracking number online and it said it was delivered on june 17th. >> this tracking report said her passport was delivered in june. it also says a waiver of signature was exercised on delivery, but she said that's impossible. >> i'm not sure who waived at the time of delivery because i was not home. >> she called the postal service, which repeated the tracking report. the package was delivered, signature waived.

yet it wasn't here. she and her roommate, heidi lee, began to worry a thief might use her lost passport to travel under her name. >> just wondering who is in possession of my passport. and it's like identity theft. just from a safety standpoint if someone is using someone else's identification to travel, what does that mean? >> i was sitting, watching the news and then i saw michael on the news. >> she called 7 on your side and we contacted the state department. the agency would not discuss her case, citing privacy rules. however, it said lost passports are automatically cancelled and can't be used for international travel. the agency also said, generally the office of passport services does not require signatures for the delivery of passports, and millions of passports are delivered every year without incident. this woman said the government should make sure passports get into secure hands. >> it's a secure document that needs to be sent in a secure fashion.

>> the postal service still said the package was delivered here, but she said where is it? she shows us her mail slot in this door leading it her garage, which requires an electronic pass code to enter. no one has tried to break in. now the new citizen said she's living with worry. >> the whole excitement of getting neutralized kind of died down. >> however, the government sent her a duplicate passport in time for the trip to india. after our inquiries the postal service is still investigating her lost passport. >> thank you for doing that. really. i appreciate it very much. >> the postal service says if you suspect someone took an item from your mail, you should file a criminal report immediately with the postal inspector's office. i posted all the information you need at abc7news.com. i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. >> up next, george clooney and this weekend's political thriller at the box office.
