now i spoke with east bay mud earlier about water conservation and they told me their customers did worse in september compared to the rest of the year throughout this year. they've been saving around 8% but back. timber they've been only conserving around 6% so their message to their customers is really just a focus on how much water they are using live in the east bay ryan curry abc 7 news. alright, ryan. thank you so much and more rain is on the horizon abc 7 news meteorologist sandhya patel joins us with a look at the week ahead sandia. yeah. i am really happy to report this to you the next seven days. we have the storm impact scale every single day. it's a one for the next five days but notice sunday monday potential for a stronger. atmospheric river which is a level 2 storm right now. we'll see if that materializes certainly will help to put a dent in our deficit our drought and the next storm is a light one. it is on live doppler 7 right now moves in tomorrow night going into early wednesday and as you look at the hourly forecast nine o'clock some heavy rain hitting the north bay tomorrow night.

treating a person with an underlying condition. like cancer or some autoimmune diseases you are actually affecting their immune system. so the vacations that people are taking or even the itself may actually make your immune responses not as good as a healthy individual dr. yvonne maldonado stanford university's professor of global health and infectious disease believes powells break through case is a prime example that even when vaccinated there's always a risk of infection, but specially if you're older than 65 years old or have underlying health conditions. we also know that after four to six months there is evidence that the immunity overall drops off. we met with ucsfs, dr. timothy henrich. he's been leading a study and breakthrough cases to understand what's causing severe disease. he believes immunocompromised

patients could benefit from multiple booster shots. sometimes the third or even potentially a fourth doses needed in order to develop the same antibody and same immune response that those without cone the latest cdc data shows a total 7,178 breakthrough cases of covid-19 that have resulted in death of those breakthrough cases 85% were among people 65 and older and 57% were among men. we know for example that there may be biological differences between males and females that prevent males from from fighting that very initial infection during the first few. days to week or so. one of powell's longtime spokespeople confirmed to abc 7 news powell was scheduled to receive a booster shot again. breakthrough cases are extremely rare more than 187 million people in the us are fully vaccinated and there have been 31,000 breakthrough cases

reported. so that's a 0.0 17% of a chance in the newsroom. use peña abc 7 news. yeah and lose as we point out here importantly a general power had multiple health issues. loma type of blood cancer. is there any data as to how much immunity the vaccines produced in cases like his? yeah, we don't know about his case specifically but according to any study that civic type of blood cancer only 47% of them developed an adequately immune response after receiving either deficer or the modern vaccine and 22% had a partial response. that's why experts believe those who are immuno compromised might need multiple booster shots. okay loose. thank you. across the state parents teachers and students took part in a number of protests opposing governor. newsom's covid vaccine mandate for school children. this was the scene outside the state. building in sacramento this morning. you see how many people came? out more than 1,000 people rallied on the west lawn. objecting to the upcoming

vaccine requirement protesters called on local school districts to oppose the mandate despite many of them already announcing that they will comply. protesters in the north bay rallied outside education facilities to push back against the upcoming mandate once the fda fully approves the vaccine for children 5 to 11 all students who attend school in person will be required to get the vaccine. i'll unvaccinated students will be required to role in an independent study program for both public and private schools life is hard. but when when you start biting people let alone students. i mean it becomes a huge issue. enforcement for the mandate could begin as soon as january but it is not likely until july. san francisco state university is getting in on the effort to try to get young people vaccinated today university and city officials announced a scholarship lottery that offers 10 individuals four years of

nightmare scenario for a group of friends from kansas on a recent trip to wine country. they woke up to their van's tires slashed and a threatening message painted on the garage of their vacation rental as abc 7 news. anchor liz kreutz learned. these friends got caught in the middle of a contentious neighborhood debate. i can't even believe that it's real honestly when alana harrison and her friends booked a dream vacation to wine country. never expected it to end up like this the home they rented in the green valley neighborhood of fairfield was vandalized with this threatening message. this is your final warning. the tribe has spoken leave this place or else also all four tires on their rental van were slashed. i don't understand still like why they vandalize our car if they wanted us to leave. it was only after this the group learned the couple who owned the home they rented through vrbo did not have a permit for a short-term rental according to solano county supervisor james sparing. it had recently been denied after henches debate and pushback from the neighborhood from my outstanding as that permanent permit was denied or delayed. so we just

home is still being rented out. hi. this is liz chords from abc 7 news. i'm tried contacting the homeowners to ask them about the incident, but could not get through and have not yet heard back neighbor clif neal shared this surveillance video from the night of the vandalism which shows the suspect entering the property and soon after running. way, you don't recognize the person in that video. but i hope someone does it's appalling. i mean, there's no one that could justify spray painting and and popping tires. still neil is also one of the many neighbors fed up with this short-term rental. they've packed this house with seven bedrooms and 10 beds and try to make it a party house as for harrison and her friends. they are disturbed by all aspects of this experience the response from the neighborhood the homeowners and vrbo, which they it would not help them relocate after the incident the most wrong to me would be the homeowners because they're just like let's keep ranting like no matter what but like verb code

better bay area moving forwardn. is abc 7 news. american across the country are flying at half staff tonight for general colin powell the former secretary of state as you've heard died this morning due to complications from covid-19 and the nation tonight mourns the loss of a public service pioneer colin powell the former secretary of state and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff was the first black man to hold those positions. he was born in new york to jamaican immigrants and flourished in the army later. he became chairman of the joint chiefs during the george hw bush administration and the us led victory in the gulf war while highly distinguished powell's career was not without controversy. he played a key role pushing faulty intelligence before the united nations to advocate for the 2003 iraq war a moderate

republican powell had friends on both sides of the aisle. not only a dear friend in the patriots. one of our great military leaders in a man of overwhelming decency. powell died this morning as we said due to complications from covid he was fully vaccinated, but also had a rare blood cancer that weakens the immune system colin powell was 84. i had the opportunity to interview colin powell at the commonwealth club back in 2012. we spent about an hour and a half together half an hour or so. before we went out into public and had a good chance to chat with him powell visited the bay area several times before and after his time as secretary of state and he was highly intelligent obviously, but it was also very warm and engaging in the time i had with him among those paying tribute to colin powell tonight is retired us army general stanley mcchrystal who i interviewed today for the commonwealth club. he had become a friend to me while i was on active duty when he was a four star. i was a more junior officer major at the time, but then when

i was commanding in afghanistan, he would reach out to me as a retired general officer just to provide a hearing we think of him as a general or secretary of state. he was a class act as a human being. general mcchrystal described powell as a man who had his feet firmly planted on the ground in addition to powell mcchrystal and i discussed the situation in afghanistan as well as his new book called risk a user's guide. we turned out a 7 on your side a company which lists a san leandro addresses being accused by dozens of people of sending and billing many of them for products. they didn't order 7 on your side's michael. finney is looking into the complaints michael. accusations against nutritional ink have surged in the last few months one of those who says he was targeted is a veteran abc 7 reporter. okay, this is the youth miracle repair. that's the supposed benefit of a

nutritional supplement howard hernandez received in the mail. even though he says he didn't order howard says the fountain of youth is of no interest to him, and he does not want to pay for it. same thing happened to elizabeth roman a bridgeport, connecticut. i just received the package in the mail just a package with two different supplements. um, and i had no idea where they came from. elizabeth received two charges your credit card each for under $8 the good news federal regulators. say if you receive something you didn't order there's no obligation to pay for it. my question was how did you get my account to begin with i didn't please this order. then that was pretty disturbing the better business bureau has identified the company as nutritional inc. the bureau has received more than 80 complaints about the company more than half since august nutritional inc. lists, its address as in san leandro the company appears to be renting a private mailbox from the ups store there.

it's not known how nutritional ink chooses who descent its products to but one is a familiar face to abc 7 news viewers long time. porter david louie the package he received had a nutritional ink return address inside the package not a nutritional supplement but earbuds, but this is a bizarre. this is a bizarre situation. kids came in a white box similar to what you might see with an apple product. yeah, that makes me suspicious that it's not an apple product because there is no apple branding at all. no copyright no notice. so why would nutritional ink send david earbuds the company's own website features nothing but nutritional products. we reached out several times last week two nutritional ink customer service. it said someone would get back to us, but we have yet. to hear back the federal trade commission says it seen people send out products just to get tracking codes. those tracking codes can then be

used to publish verified but fake reviews on sites such as ebay and amazon those caught in the middle want to stay clear of this whether they're getting earbuds or nutritional supplements. i don't want anything to do that. you know, i i don't know what's in them. and and frankly, i don't want to know so there's mystery here that i'm hoping michael can get down to well, the bbb has givenn nutritional ink and f rating the bottom line. you're not obliged to pay for anything. you didn't order and be sure to shut down your credit card, which everyone in this story has done. be careful and let me know if this has happened to you. amazing. all right. thank you. michael very much. we're coming up next they were pioneers of lesbian rights this lgbtq history month. we look back on the lives of phyllis lion and del martin. how organizations are working to preserve the san francisco couples home of six decade

october is is history month and we're highlighting some of the people and events that helped launch the lgbtq rights movement. the 1969 stonewall riots in new york are widely seen as the flashpoint in the fight for

equal rights, but there were many events and people across the country that helped ignite the national convers. before stonewall that includes a san francisco couple abc 7 news race and culture reporter. julian glover has their story. could easily be called the mothers of the lesbian rights movement. they spent most of their adult lives fighting for recognition and equality. they found at the daughters of the lightest the first organization for lesbians in the united states in san francisco back in 1955. they started primarily socially just as a way to bring people together, but they quickly became political they became sort of engaged in the politics of the day trying to win more rights for women more right for a lesbians, but also for the broader lgbtq community at the glbt historical society museum in san francisco a display highlights the contribution of the two women to the community the display includes the magazine.

they started circulating in 1956. the latter was the first national lesbian publication in the us and one of the first magazines to publish statistics on lesbians and most of the united states the latter was illegal because the content talked about same-sex relationships. but that didn't stop phyllis and dell and 1960 the hella convention here in san francisco. that brought a lot of women together to organize to learn together to just beat each other. this was really groundbreaking. this was not a time when it was very common to have large scale gatherings. list spoke with us in 1966 about those conventions in this interview not seen in more than half a century the membership restricted only to lesbians now is restricted only to women. in other words can be 21 years. we don't inquire into their sexual orientation if they want to become a member. is it more or less taken for granted? hi by the very nature of the organization. it's i would say 99% lesbian the dob as it was called had

chapters around the country, which city has the greatest membership. fine, i think san francisco in los angeles. i was rather san francisco in new york are running neck and neck and membership. each of us has approximately 80 memb. ers what problems have you run into holding conventions? we've run into no trouble out here in let's go when our chapter in new york tried to reserve a hotel for the convention in 1964. they had difficulty getting a hotel in new york. why is this they're very strange on the east coast apparently? the planning for the daughters of politis happen here the san francisco home phyllis and del bought in 1955. if its walls could talk. they would tell the story of two incredible lives filled with fighting for equality. they did work on youth issues and poverty and aging and you
