bottles of mostly illegal chemicals were found at a house in this san pablo neighborhood. the man who allegedly lived here was in his 80's. he died a few months ago. his brother came by to clean up the property. >> there's been some speculation, in talking to their brother or others that he may have been a chemistry professor, but that hasn't been confirmed. reporter: law enforcement got a call on wednesday about a gas leak that led to a neighborhood wide evacuation of close to 150 homes. >> some types of hazardous materials are extensive, really, to put it plainly. they range up and down our classes of what we consider hazardous materials, explosives, flammables, oxidizers, things of that nature. re district says they still have not been able to determine all the chemicals that were found, but they see many were illegally stored and some are motion and light-sensitive. >> what that means is if light hits that particular product or that particular liquid, it could cause a chemical reaction.

and due to the improper storage, we have a lot of different chemicals stored together. >> we did not expect a chemistry teacher to have a shed full of chemicals. reporter: he came to check on his parents' house before he brings him home. >> it feels good, at the same time, i wish we got information sooner, or at least text it to us. because actually didn't know there was a whole evacuation happening until i got a group message from coworkers about the incident. reporter: san pablo police believe the chemicals have been stored at the house for years. >> based on the degradation of the boxes and the way it was stored, it was a significant amount of time up to years even. reporter: police say one of the reasons the investigation is taking so long is that they have to determine what the chemicals are and how to dispose of them safely, which takes time. police will have an update at 5 p.m. anser hassan, abc7 news. kristen: today santa clara public health officials announced the county's first

human case of west nile for the season. santa clara resident was hospitalized after contracting the mosquito born disease in another county. this week, west nile virus positive mosquitoes were found in san jose, sunnyvale, and santa clara. they believe the race -- the recent rainy winter in california may be to blame. >> this year particularly after really -- after a really wet rainy winter and expect that hot summer, we have the best conditions to see west nile virus activity. we still have several months ahead of us. mosquitoes do like to bite more in the warm summer months. kristen: one person died from the virus in santa clara county last year in november after contracting the disease in contra costa county. antisemitic posters are once again being spotted on a popular trail in the east bay. and mantled our media partner that he discovered a poster

with anti-jewish imagery while walking the ironhorse trail. the man took what he found to the anti-defamation league. the group attracts hateful acts on what it's calling a heat map here. right now the adl seas and has seen 24 instances in the bay area since the start of the year. that includes mill valley and marin county where police are investigating racist messages left in driveways. cornell bernard shows us some kids are pushing back against the hatred by promoting kindness. reporter: these all began with a blank piece of paper. an idea sparked by an ugly neighborhood incident. >> it made me feel super sad, like, why would someone do that? >> recently, racist flyers were left in doorsteps in the neighborhood containing anti-semitic language. the family security camera caught one of the flyers landing in their driveway last saturday night, tossed from a passing car. >> i felt really bad.

why would somebody do that? that's really mean and sad. reporter: she and her sister and her friend were so upset, they decided to push back with multicolored markers. >> we decided that we were just going to make flyers that were kind of like the opposite of what they were saying. so we wanted to make a difference. reporter: here's what the girls created, poster after poster with positive words and images. next up for the girls, they took to the streets, canvassing the very same neighborhoods where these racist flowers were left -- racist flyers were left. they even reached out to neighbors. >> here are some flyers for you. reporter: the same neighbors who received the racist flyers. >> everyone should be included. you got this. women rule. reporter: the girls' dads are pretty impressed by what they did. >> i was pretty proud. >> it's a learning opportunity for the kids and the kids

actually got to -- get to turn it around and show some love to the neighbors that receive these. reporter: authorities are investigating. in a statement, police said it does not condone nor tolerate any form of hate speech. and informational report will be sent to the marin county district attorney's office regarding this hate incident. meantime the girls plan to take their poster campaign to other areas to spread some joy the summer -- this summer. >> it felt like i was doing something really good for the world. reporter: cornell bernard, abc7 news. larry: chp officers will be deployed after the mayor asked the governor for additional resources in oakland. a total of six chp officers and a sergeant will be patrolling the streets of oakland. no word yet on their exact roles. this comes in the wake of a number of recent freeway shootings. the violence has led to residents calling for some outside help.

not everyone agrees that more police are really the answer, including the executive director of the anti-police terror project. >> if our elected officials are serious about public safety, then we need to address the things that are pushing people into the underground economy. we need to address mental health. we need to address poverty. we need to address lack of housing and lack of jobs. until we do that and do that seriously, i don't care how many police you pour into the city of oakland. larry: the city will also be getting license plate readers to see if that helps. as we take a deeper dive into this, we have phil matier. we are talking about seven more people on the streets. reporter: i don't think it's going to make a dramatic difference but i will tell you the oakland cops i talked to are happy to see the chp come back again. gavin newsom sent them and when the former mayor asked for their assistance and they were used the patrol places like international boulevard and the freeways.

places where we have not just seen an increase of shootings but also in really bad driving and sideshows. the issue about -- they issued about 200 tickets but also in the process pull people over and that gave them the once over. the state coming in and doing that is a helping hand. is it a silver bullet? no way. kristen: does the fact that she asked the governor for this, mayor shantal, signal some sort of change? >> she will say it is part of the multipronged solution she's been advocating. but it does signal a bit of a change. the mayor was one of those that was out there saying, let's reduce the amount of money for the police and put it into other programs. it's interesting to note, oakland is not alone in this. oakland's a very left progressive city. while they are asking for the chp and asking and getting cameras, berkeley which is next door and considered a real cornerstone for progressive and

police reform has just passed budgets to buy cameras as well. so there's a shift going on in the east bay right now about crime, because it is all over the city right now. it's not just. in the flatlands. it's all up in the hills where the voters are and we have a mayor who is dealing with her principles, or politics and her constituencies now. larry: let me get your thoughts on the comments by cap brooks that we saw in the piece that proceeded you -- that preceded you. she is calling it a lazy attempt to suggest action while endangering the people of oakland. what's your take? >> she's been an advocate for her side of the anti-police for a long time. but the bottom line is, we can talk about the root causes of a lot of things, for example, we can talk about fire prevention, things that you can do better around your house, but if you have a bad grease fire in the kitchen, you want the fire department to show up with a hos -- with the hoses blazing.

that's what the people want. right now some things got to be done. we are seeing 60 and 70-year-old women being pulled out of their cars in attempted carja beat up while they are being robbed. you can't get too philosophical when you are dealing with that everyday. kristen: phil matier, thank you so much for joining us. larry: coming up, president trump, appearing in court today, entering a plea to the new federal charges against them. also the legal fight over two popular weight loss drugs. claiming they cause stomach paralysis. and the federal investigation now underway over the mysterious company that's purchased a lot of land near travis air force base. meteorologist: stubborn low clouds and lower than average temperatures today, but that is not going to last. i will show you the changes that are ahead when abc7 news

employees of the pac-12 and networks would be without a job. it could also force cal and stanford to move to a non-west coast base conference which could force student athletes to travel long distances, potentially impacting academic performance. >> for the vast majority of these athletes, they are not going to play professionally. that academic part of it is good for them. about the athletics experience quality should the bears not end up in a bigger conference. >> you won't see ucla or ucf roll into town anymore oracle about a town anymore -- role into town anymore. reporter: meanwhile head justin wilcox is focused on the now. >> that falls under the category of something that certainly matters but not something we have control over. those are two criteria for what we focus on. reporter: smith is hoping for

the best but preparing for the worst. >> the fact that we are talking about hours and days in which a situation is going to play out and determine the fate of a 180-year-old conference is mind blowing. larry: the roots of the p date back more than 100 years, we are talking 1915 with the founding of the then pacific coast conference. there were four schools including cal. stanford joined in 1918. the conference dissolved in 1959 becoming aawu. that name was then changed to the pac 8. colorado and utah signed on in 2010 and in 2011 the pac-12 was born. it could be any day now that the whole thing just dissolves. it is so complicated. in a nutshell, this is all about television money, the relatively new commissioner of the league

needed to find a way to come up with about 30-35 million dollars a year per team from espn or fox or apple or amazon or whatever. they can't get there. all the schools are going, well, we want our money, we have to go somewhere. the most likely scenario is these schools like cal and stanford get absorbed into a big 10 west pod. so they can stay on the west coast and play teams and you can preserve some of the rivalries they were talking about in the segment. as a cal grad -- kristen: it's just weird. it's not right. you look forward to playing washington, usc, ucla, stanford. you have those teams, it's tradition. it's sad, if it's not maintained. larry: it is straight up cash money grab for these leagues. kristen: i feel bad for the athletes, too. they have to travel farther. do we not care about their academics? larry: they do not care about their academics, the kids do.

the administrators do not. all right -- kristen: yeah. larry: that's it. [laughter] kristen: i know. he needs a little good news. you know he likes warm weather. give it to him. meteorologist: starting tomorrow, we are going to go from sweater weather today, as you notice, with the low clouds and fog stubbornly hanging on, to short sleeve weather tomorrow. 90's inland, so it's a warmer day away from the coastline. we will see plenty of sun. 60's coast side and breezy. look at saturday, temperatures going up into the mid and upper 90's. by sunday, triple digits. but don't worry, the sea breeze and the fog is going to keep the coast comfortable. the hottest days sunday, temperatures back off a bit on monday. it is a cooler pattern for tuesday, as we head into next week. larry: when we come back, hanging 10 with man's best

friend. >> there is a saying in surfing, -- kristen: dogabungo! up next, the surfing competition going to the dogs.
