part of their story is the treatment of the homeless and the disregard. reporter: it happened at a city sanctioned homeless camp at the center of a heated debate in sausalito over how to handle the homeless crisis. many of the residents had previously lived in boats anchored in the bay but those vessels had been destroyed, deemed illegal. residents moved to nearby dunphy park until last year when they were mandated to move to the other side. he was filming a resident incident between a resident and the police when he was arrested. >> i don't feel the treatment and the disrespect and disregard for me and my person would have happened if i were white. reporter:reporter: after the arrest, the sausalito police chief said he pushed a police sergeant twice and thrust a camera into the sergeant's face, causing a blackeye and small cuts. he says that did not happen. >> the police officers violated the basic rights.

reporter: this hotel is not the first to get rid of the sir francis drake name. in 2021, the town of fairfax changed the name of the sir francis drake boulevard after community tension. a year earlier in 2020, a 30 foot tall sir francis drake statue in marin county was removed after a community petition. noah griffith is a bay area civil rights activist who has been behind the name change of several places. >> they talk about him as being the father of enslavement for the british empire. it was in the 15 60's with the help of elizabeth the first that he and john hawkins and slaved the first folks out of western guinea and sierra leone for quite a profit and began the british empire's slave trade. reporter: now the hotel will be named the beacon grand hotel. >> it is tougher -- 21st century. you have to change with the times. reporter: that's tom sweeney, the legendary doorman of the sir

and early settlers luncheon. longtime residents get together and share stories, and remember campbell's agricultural roots in what it was known as the orchard city. >> campbell was a small town feel in the heart of silicon valley. it is a community that people support each other like in a small town. carrying on a tradition like this keeps the feeling going. larry: the only event in california that's been celebrated longer than campbell heritage day, the tournament of roses parade which is 133 years old. it only feels like we've been waiting for rain that long. [laughter] kristen: it does. do we have to wait much longer? mike: some of us, yes. some of us may receive some tonight. that's how hit and miss it is. it is a shame we will break a streak, a possible second longest dry streak in san francisco with 31 hundredths of

an inch of rain. really pummeled by that atmospheric river. the first winter storm of this year knocking on the door. looks pretty nice outside. thursday and friday and then thursday and friday and then building warmth this weekend. temperatures outside, comfortable with low to other -- upper 50's. then you are like, look at the winds gusting from 10 to 30 to even 37 miles per hour. dressed in later years if you are heading out this evening. upstream, you can see green, that is the liquid. white and pink is the frozen stuff developing to the north. it is scattered, not full on shield that will last for hours upon hours. tonight through tomorrow, 24 to

36 hour window of wintry showers. by 5:00, already and snow move into the north bay. the best snow chances will be along the coast for widespread showers. you can see it hugging the coast into the overnight hours and snow levels drop tomorrow. you will see more weight showing up in the north bay and into the mountains around lake and mendocino counties. snow level down to 2000 feet. mount diablo, we could have some snow there. here's what's disheartening. these are the potential rainfall amounts and they are not a lot. once we get on the backside of this, temperatures will drop. early two in santa rosa. the next several nights, we have

a freeze watch and it's mainly for the north bay. there are places like the east bay valley that will be just as cold. look at these lows, you want to do the same thing, protect pets, plants and pipes. there are some parts of the peninsula getting really cold as the cold air drains out of the higher elevations. you want to do the same thing even though you are not in the freeze watch. the next few mornings, three tomorrow, freezing cold mornings. sunshine and cold temperatures reaching back by saturday. get ready for that wintry weather. kristen: thank you. a big day for people who love the sound of a church organ. the san francisco chapter of the american guild of organists

gathered at the first unitarian church, stopped two of their four stop organ crawl. they say it's a wonderful opportunity to experiment -- experience the great music. >> we have young organists who got a scholarship. we have them play first and then it is open concert. that means any member who wants to play the organ can try it out and sit on the bench and play. kristen: in addition to the first unitarian, the group of about 40 also visited st. mark's church. old first presbyterian and grace cathedral. larry: sounds beautiful. speaking of, what a performance by steph curry in the all-star game. how he made an impact off the court. kristen: and from one star to another, this one is a bit different. just

larry: basketballs best were in cleveland this weekend for the nba all-star game. . one star shined above them all. chris alvarez is here with a look at how steph curry's all-star m.v.p. performance made an impact on and off the court. thankfully they finally stopped booing him in cleveland. [laughter] chris: stephen curry has always aimed to change the game for good both on and off the court. with every point, money goes to the cleveland school district.

he recorded and all -- a record 16 pointers -- three-pointers. he was born in nearby akron, ohio, actually the same hospital as lebron, leading his team to a victory. donated $1000 for every $1000, every three was where $3000, and in total, $108,000 was raised. what a night. >> it is definitely something i wanted to experience. once i knew i was feeling it, you want to to ride that wave. >> this guy is from a different planet. he has like an automatic sniper connected to his arm and when he lets it go, not only himself but everyone on the floor, in the stands on tv, it goes in every time. >> when you see a guy like him knocking down threes every night and putting on the show, you

don't want him to lose the game. >> pretty remarkable in terms of just a memorable experience i will take with me. pretty perfect if you ask me. chris: in addition, he will provide a positive coach training program to every basketball coach in the cleveland school district. the only individual trophy still out there for him, nba finals m.v.p. and all the w fans will be looking for the. larry: that would be perfect. we could live with that. more sports news. representatives from major league baseball and the players union returned to the bargaining today to try and get it going and avoid a delay to the start of the regular season. talks come three days after the leak canceled the first week of spring training. this is the league's first work stoppage since the players strike of 1994 that wiped out the world series and delayed the start of the 95 season.

nobody wants to revisit that. kristen: covid cases are dropping. but what about boosters? will you need to get another shot? contributor dr. ella patel tells us. larry: the slow road to transit recovery.

oh, wow, barbara corcoran! good morning. sorry, we don't need any business help now. we're gigillionaires. what? we're gigillionaires now. i don't get it we have at&t business fiber with hyper-gig speeds. but i just... so thanks, but, we're doing great. i'm so happy for you! but i'm just here for my order. oh. entre-pin-eurs? yeah, my bowling team. i like it there's money in puns. do business like a gigillionaire at&t business fiber, now with speeds up to 5-gigs. limited availability

announcer: building a better bay area, moving forward and finding solutions are this is abc7news. kristen: a quick look at the coronavirus headlines. the daily average of covid-19 deaths fell below 2000. . the united kingdom today lifted all coronavirus restrictions.

prime minister boris johnson said while the virus is not going away, pointing to queen elizabeth's infection, the country needs to learn to live with it. carnival cruises israel asking -- relaxing mask rules starting march 1. larry: dr. patel is a is a our abc7news vaccine team joining us on holiday. thank you for taking the time. looks like you are actually at work. we appreciate your time. >> there are no holidays in our industry. larry: people are sick every day. let's start with boosters. three shots is the magic number for keeping serious illness at bay, but the shots wane. where are we with a second booster or shot number four? >> a second booster is a lot -- actually what a lot of these public institutions are calling it. we've seen other countries adopt this. right now in the u.s., it's only available for people who are

immunocompromised, but time will tell. we will see what happens as we get more data. the big question will be when are people going to need a booster, but what will they need? will it be omicron specific? no need to run out there and figure out how to get a second booster. just hang tight, the vaccines still work really well. we just need more data. larry: the cdc is expected to have more mask guidelines out this i went to cosco on a sunday and some people are wearing a mask, some people aren't, nobody knows what the rules are. is a lot of confusion. >> well you went to disneyland basically on a sunday. regardless of what the cdc says, i would still wear a mask. what i expect them to talk about his mask guidelines based on hospital capacity. the metrics go deeper than just cases. we know cases will be around. they don't tell the complete story. this is a good thing because it

moves us forward in terms of endemic. having a say we are vaccinated, we are fine, we need to assessed in risk. larry: nobody called cosco the happiest place on earth so i don't know how you a quest -- equate them. they are both crowded. you mentioned this, open -- omicron ba.2, the newest data, how concerned are you about that? >> i'm concerned about the potential. that's what people are bracing for. what will potentially happen in fall? and what should you think about with a second booster? this was a study. the real-world data is different. the u.k. and south africa where ba.2 is taking a foothold, and going up in denmark as well. as of right now we only have 4% of cases in the u.s. that are

ba.2. we have to stay vigilant and realize another variant could still show up and wreck our progress. larry: the governor announced the california smart plan last week. do you make of that? are we ahead of the curve? >> i think we are. this is the first state that has an actual plan moving forward. it recognizes the fact that endemic still means you can have a lot of cases. if you look at the acronym, there are plans in place like wastewater surveillance and testing to make sure we are prepared in the event there are outbreaks. i think it's important that it lays out a realistic step forward. other states larry: have a plan, we are done with this, do whatever you want. [laughter] that is their plan. but let's wrap it up, justin bieber and queen elizabeth both just came down with covid. i'm resuming not from one

another. the queen is 95 years old. you can't joke around about this stuff, at that age, it could be really serious. >> it really could. we don't know specifically about her medical history or what her exposure was. we know she publicly documented she had at least one dose of the vaccine, but in england, over 90% of those above 80 are fully vaccinated with three doses. she also has access to great doctors given the fact that she's the queen. i presume as a non-hospitalized covid patient, she may have access to those medications like paxlovid or the monoclonal antibody that work towards omicron. i think it's important for people to understand that even endemic, you can still be infected. long live the queen thanks to the vaccine. larry: the older we get, the more susceptible we are so we

have to be careful. thank you for taking a break from your work and joining us. >> any time for you. larry: thank you. dr. patel. kristen: bart's return to normal includes extended hours. they are operating midnight service daily. they saw the second-highest ridership since the pandemic over the weekend thanks largely to the chinese new year parade in san francisco. analysis finds weekday ridership is down nearly 82% from october 2019 to october 2021. it's even worse in fremont. at the warm springs station, it is down nearly 86% and that period. forget taco tuesday. tomorrow is about something else. how taco can you avoid burnout? i'm sure there's a meaning to that.

still rich and creamy. plant-based siggi's: more protein and less sugar than leading yogurt alternatives. larry: time now for the four at 4:00. we start with masks. indoor mask restrictions were dropped in california, making this weekend the first time masks were optional for a long time in much of the state. places like san diego still require masks indoors. so what do you think? are you taking your mask off or does it depend on the particular setting? >> i'm not taking mine off yet

on -- except for when i'm on camera. i have been wearing it out and about. in some venues, i'm about the only person still wearing it, but i will stop wearing it when i feel really safe. i'm happy to see we appear to be getting's back to something close to normal. larry: and you just flew this we can. i'm presuming everyone was wearing a mask on the plane. kristen: yes, there were no battles. thankfully. [laughter] larry: you didn't have to hit anybody? kristen: nobody hit me or any flight attendants. i did notice the mother next to me who had a two-year-old, she was tripled up. she had the n95, the cloth, and the face shield. i guess it is all situational, your own level of protection. these days i think i'm good with not masking outdoors and then indoors, if i'm away from lots of people and only around people i know who are vaccinated, i'm comfortable with that. >> reggie was at the casey

musgrave's concert and only 25% of people were masked. i was in vegas over the weekend and maybe only 25% of people were masked. larry: we should have started with you. i didn't know you were in vegas. mike: birthday party. not mine. kristen: 25 for vegas is high. [laughter] if you are facing burnout at work, you are not alone. but a grad shared his tips for powering through. he explained his so-called taco to do list. >> taco is an acronym we created, a quick way to say how can i get things off my plate? there's four ways. terminate, automate, consolidate and outsource. kristen: ok. terminate and outsource are self-explanatory. as for automate, he says use email templates.

for consolidate, do all of your errands and the same day rather than spread them out and make multiple trips. those? >> i will start. i pretty much follow that to a t. i run all my errands on one, all my bills one day a week, or outsourced to the kid if you will actually mow the lawn or something. larry: that's how you define outsourcing? getting your son to do it? [laughter] kristen: nothing wrong with that. >> as a homeowner, got to hub -- get him to help a little bit. >> i was trying to think of how to apply that to what i do here at work. mike gave me ideas about how to apply it to my life away from work so i start with the t, but i have not figured out the rest

yet. larry: there should also be real tacos somewhere in that. february 22, 2022. this is how google is celebrating this once-in-a-lifetime event. we'll likely see a lot of weddings at local city halls. in case we are wondering the next day, the most twos, february in 22,022 exactly 20,000 years from now. i think only spencer will still be here. [laughter] and by that, i mean working. [laughter] kristen: oh my goodness. a little doom and gloom. larry: maybe you will still be

co-anchoring. i don't know. spencer: i've had about 1500 year career already, so why not extend? [laughter] larry: it feels that way. mike, will the planet still be here in 22,000 years wit? mike: that's a good question. what pandemic will we have with -- lived through? >> what about the warming? will the planet be inhabitable? kristen: it depends on our own situation on the earth to enter that. coke is out with another new flavor. this one is a real reach. it is called starlight. coke says it tastes like space. [laughter] not sure what that means. maybe we should ask jeff bezos. >> taste like chicken. [laughter] kristen: one youtuber sa you

supposed to be like chocolate and graham cracker. it's the first launch from the new coca-cola creations platform. other limited-edition fantasy flavors are expected later this year. mike: space is a void. how does it have taste? i like the chicken one better. kristen: to me i feel like it should be extra carbonated. i don't know why. i feel like that has a space association for me. larry: not sure that would make it more appealing. i'm curious about the taste though. spencer: i stick with chicken. larry: they have to keep coming up with new flavors for sales. remember, it used to be like one oreo and now there is a million flavors. mike: you can put your face on an oreo if you want. larry: my face is on an oreo. spencer: i thought yours was on a wheaties box. larry: i'm not that talented. kristen: can we agree we always

like the original best, no matter what product? larry: pretty much. meet apartment 2a, 2b and 2c. 2a's monitoring his money with a simple text. like what you see abe?

yes! 2b's covered with zero overdraft fees when he overdraws his account by fifty bucks or less. and 2c, well, she's not going to let a lost card get her stressed. am i right? that's right. that's because these neighbors all have chase. alerts that help check. tools that help protect. one bank that puts you in control. chase. make more of what's yours.

larry: an expanding program is helping turn greenhouse gas omissions into energy to power the bay area. kristen: spencer christian is back in the newsroom with a look at the plan. reporter: that's right. it is being built in the central valley and tapping into a source you are more likely to associate with the milk in your

refrigerator. at the vendor without a year merced, thousands of cows are doing what cows do, giving milk, eating feed, and creating methane. this greenhouse gas as a byproduct of the manure they leave the hind -- behind. >> it is supercool to see. reporter: but if that is generating more enthusiasm than you might expect, it is because of a mound a few hundred yards away. it is part of a methane capture a project developed by pg&e, california energy exchange and musk energy. eileen martino is with moss energy which created a network of underground pipelines through swatches of the central valley. the pathway here is marked with yellow sticks. the goal is to connect dairies in the area to energy suppliers like pg&e. >> each dairy has a digester on their facility and they are

sending methane gas from the digester. >> the methane is recovered under the giant mound and then pumped through purifiers before it is turned into what's known as rmg or renewable natural gas. while there is plenty of raw source material literally underfoot, the challenge was finding a cost-effective way to separate and transport the methane. >> this was our first project and it was really hard to go from where the location of the manure was to our pipeline. that's why the partnership was critical. reporter: four dairies have gone online since december with the goal of adding roughly a dozen more. planners are hoping to provide economic benefits to the dairies and surrounding communities in the form of jobs. this dairyman recently signed on. >> sounds good. basically selling gas and making energy with what we do every day is a plus to our business. reporter: as the system expands, there's the hope for significant environmental benefits.

dairies are among the largest producers of methane in california. planners say capturing a percentage of that read houseguest would have a significant impact in the -- that greenhouse gas would have a significant impact in the fight against climate hopefully contribute in far less greenhouse gas to the environment. pg&e is hoping that as the project grows, it might eventually contribute something in the range of 10% to 15% of our renewable natural gas production. that would be a huge step towards reducing the level of greenhouse gases. kristen: thank you. let's turn our attention -- you were really playing -- paying close attention to the. mike: i love these stories now that that has become part of his new job i love seeing that. you know the technology is out there and the natural resource
