area moving forward finding solutions. this is abc 7 news. so are we any closer to the a's getting that new waterfront ballpark in oakland the city released an environmental impact report today, which is about 3,500 pages abc 7 news spoke to team president dave cavill. this is about an hour ago, and he mains focused on the proposals that are on the table. well it has to be pose a we agree with and that works for our business and you know, we laid out one that the city had a different one and it needs to achieve the goals. we need financially to make sense for the investment of billions of dollars in private capital and we're hopeful that we can get there. you know, there's been a lot of good progress with things like the offsite infrastructure and the dollars that needs to be

written down in legal language put in an exhibit in a development agreement that's binding and the teams are doing that right now. now there are several steps still that that have to be accomplished before any stadium deal is really done. the planning commission will meet next month. then the eir is supposed to get certified in february oakland has stated its goal is to get a final vote from the city council early next year. meanwhile the results of a survey from the a's show that vegas would be a big hit for major league baseball abc 7 news insider film materials here talk more about what's happening with that the azer continuing with this parallel path business here. let's let's first tackle the environmental impact report because it seems like they've got the more than the 352 million dollars needed. let's go slow down. what is the expression? show me the money? not only though i want to show me the money put it in the bank. okay, what we're talking about here is one of the biggest stumbling box for all of these sports deals whether it's the

warriors stadium arena in san francisco the raiders and oakland wherever you go how much public money winds up going towards the deal in this case. the bill is about 350 million dollars not necessarily for directly for the stadium but to improve the area around it. so what the azer saying is this looks good. this looks grand, but you know, we've got this 350 million you say you've got it. okay. let's see it. let's make sure it's all there in other words. let's really have a deal and you know politically when you start talking those numbers, it's a question. are they going to come across with it? if we assume that they have the money and are going to use right for the area around the stadium. you have to say that the oakland stadium proposal is much farther along than vegas. wouldn't you? absolutely. absolutely. i would say that it is much further along although in some ways as you and i both know the oakland stadium ballpark with the a's has been sort of a hamster cage run for going 120 years now. okay, that keeps moving and

moving but nobody's moving in any, you know in solid direction this is the furthest they've come they're going to have this deal it goes out there. the city council is going to have to vote on. but larry i got to tell you, okay. today this environmental impact report came out and who from the city of you heard from mayor libby schaap not from all host of other political leaders saying we're on the bandwagon and that's usually what you see in other cities when this thing comes things like right. he says let's push and you think it's just coincidental that on the day that this report gets issued in oakland the giant step forward that the a's decide to repeat to release their marketing report on vegas that surprise surprise says oh of this we verse 17,000 people and 87% said they'd be interested in some kind of season tickets deal and 85% maybe same day tickets. you think that's coincidental. no, there's no coincidence. i look at that as the a's just continuing to to keep the leverage and the pressure on the city of oakland, but the survey

itself. i mean if we do a deep dive. survey the survey was funded by a company that has been taken over by jerry jones's company, which would stand to benefit from millions of dollars in stadium fees because they the same thing that they did with the raiders. are you talking about? somebody might actually get something out of this deal. just great goodwill. it's a little yellow goodwill. everybody's doing everything for okay can we agree on one thing. it's always about the money, of course. okay, so that's the real question here. whether are the a's bluffing are they going on their parallel track? you know, this is like you said, this is the tale of two cities. they're moving forward. nobody's stopping. it's about money who's going to come across with the deal that works the best. well the vegas officials the governor sicilak has already said they're not putting up public money like they did with the raiders, but but the survey to me is like asking people in line for in and out if they like hamburgers, i mean like yeah duh, right so but that's how in and out decides whether what a story and they take a look at

this servant now, but when i get poles that show that a 75% of the oakland's people think in oakland think that they want to keep the age. yeah, but you don't put the price of keeping the a's on the on the question right? you just asked you would you like it i could pull this place how many people would like an suv? okay. okay, so that's how the sports stuff works half of its show but a lot of it it does come down to does the project work does it pencil out and is there a benefit for the team and for the city and how much is each side willing to bend and what the a's are basically saying is we've got this report. let's go and let's finally find out where the city stands if they're really good one where the other okay by the fall and then we'll decide whether they can go or they have no place to go and we stay on that hamster cage but instead of running which is kind of strolling along for a while phil. have a good weekend. and dion says she would like a rest. yeah that's looking for. you know something sports dreams field of dreams if they build w.

loved ones as well. so are there some special precautions? emily has taken. have you been able to put your foot down and have certain regulations? well, i might my daughter whose family lives in the in the northeast which is where i'm headed. i'll put her foot down before i could even say anything. they're all vaccinated including my six year old grandson. wow, so and they don't allow anyone in home who's not vaccinated. they wear masks everywhere. they go. i do the same thing. so i feel relatively safe except that i will be flying. i just have to hope that everybody who's on that flight with me will be vaccinated as well. and we're in their mask. yeah, and where and of course they don't have to wear a mask could be worse spencer we could be flying with you. yeah worst thing. that would be evil dan dan new omicron variant and the surge in covid cases, obviously, you know causing a lot of concern ucsf department of medicine chair dr. bob wachter friend of the program. needed that he received more

covid questions yesterday than on any other day in the past two years that's incredible and really significant considering how much more information we have about the virus today and the availability of vaccinations and boosters dr. walker will likely be getting even more questions in the coming days following another tweet today saying none of the omicron news coming out is very good at this point. you know, it it is astonishing that we're two years in and still have just as many questions as we have answers because it seems to every time we get a new variant it changes the paradigm dan. it's it's a little like whack-a-mole. i mean, i don't know how long we're going to be playing this game, but it doesn't look like it's ending anytime. yeah, that's a great way to describe it. i mean you first we had the thank goodness. finally. we had vaccines then we come to find out well, maybe after six seven eight months. you've got to get a booster now you may need another booster down the road and then we had the delta vary now the omaha omicron it is a bit like whack-a-mole and it's very clear that this is away anytime soon. we'd just have to learn to live with it and and manage it as

best we can and what's concerning those early reports that omicron might be not be as potent. but extremely transmissible. not sure how potent really is. a lot of people are going to the hospital now, but it's certainly extremely transmissible. yeah, and certainly the numbers are surging in parts of the world. so yeah something we're going to have to manage. perhaps is the best way to put it well moving on to something a little bit more lighthearted firefighters risked their lives were an unusual rescue take a look this time. it was a deer just chilling out on the ice that needed a bit of help. you can see though the firefighters barely crawling along the ice in new mexico to reach the deer on monteverd. take the deer was successfully rescued brought safely to land and given time to rest before it was released back into the wild. it's always so sad to see these animals just trapped like there on the ice, but i mean spencer really have to give it up for first responders and animal experts who come to the rescue. absolutely what it's just i could watch that video over and

over. you know, it's just a sweet thing to do and and you know, he i think because he's coming in at that level he won't scare won't the deer so much not that the deer can run away because he's stuck. but but at least he'll feel a bit calmer seeing someone coming in at a low angle like that and also spencers you will know you have to just when moving across ice like that. you have to spread out your weight as much as possible you do. so if you standing upright there's a greater chance you break through as the deer did but if you lay down you spread out your weight a little bit exactly. yeah. you don't have two creatures stuck out there. yes, i think we can all the firefighters they're not paid enough and they don't get enough credit. just kind of so, yep. i mean those at any any given moment. you don't know who or what you're gonna have to rescue you have to be prepared to go do it and risk your own life. you know, it's having to train for something like this too. right? well they do train for in this these parts of the country where lakes frees over they do train for ice rescues. i don't know if they train to

rescue deers, but they certainly are prepared to rescue people. they're also put the latter and stretch a ladder out on the ice and crawl across that way so they do actually train for these areas, interesting. we should add to the name we call them by because they certainly do more than fight fires, right? that's true. do you have your ugly christmas sweater on today? if you did not know it is ugly christmas sweater day whether you love them or you hate them. it doesn't look like they're gonna be leaving us anytime soon the official day became a tradition in 2011 and has been celebrated since around the world. i think it's fun. you know, i think it's fun. i do have a a couple of you know, what? think maybe it's a sign of age. i don't know. what does it say when some of the ugly christmas sweaters don't really seen that ugly to me, you know, okay, they seem kind of cute. what does that say? yeah. well, they're warm, right? yeah, who cares how i gotta like them? yeah new glasses for dan. that's microsoft or better taste. yes.

that so many of us are thinking about our families those who are near to us and some maybe who we've lost. dan is back with us once again to share a story about a project that is making a difference. yeah, dan. hi deon and larry it really is making a difference and it's that sense of enduring connection that inspired a doctor at ucsf to write a song a project that started with the loss of a young patient. the song angels among us is a mixture of pain and of healing the lyrics were written by the man on the drums, dr. robert goldspeed a pediatric cancer specialist at ucsf. it was in that role that he met a 15 year old patient named celeste arreola. so celeste was a patient of cars who had a very brutal cancer in

the stomach and she endured very very intensive therapies and very challenging surgeries and all through it. she had this amazingly positive attitude of life celeste grew up in the central valley where she was close with her family and active spark before her diagnosis personally in our family. she was basically the glue and the whip? th she would get us going into doing things. us in life, she's like you can't be lazy you gotta be active but soon she would have to turn her energy toward chemotherapy and fighting a courageous battle against a cancer that ultimately proved insurmountable. oh that's what they told me that her cancer was pretty much advanced that it was very aggressive dr. goldsby says it was celeste's courage and that of other young patients that inspired him to write the song angels among us. eggs with the ucsf music therapy program helped with the courts but ultimately dr. goldsby

turned to a grammy-winning bay area recording artist and music producer. norda, michael walton. range and perform it so i made this part with this help chords. i just felt like it came to life not a brought it to life. he says the song captures the spirit of those who are with us and those who goodness that they leave in this world both men believe in the power of music narda mentors young musicians through his non-profit foundation while dr. goldsby works with ucsf's music therapy program and along with celeste's

family. they're hoping the song will be a reminder at this time of year of the spirit of healing and of giving the meaning of the song is how to live life and life should be full of love and then he had this idea of this song so then perfect chemistry for us to do something nice together because he's angel. i'm angel. i i operate on that frequency. i personally hope that this song will let people know that their annuals among us that they love them and they still look up for them. talented and very caring men. we really hope you have time to check out those terrific organizations. we talked about here and learn a bit about the work that they do both the ucsf music therapy program and the narda michael walden foundation art a very dear friend of mine. we have links on our website abc 7 news dion larry.
