street in the castro district. abc seven news reporter tim johns has the story from the outside. >> the bright exterior of the so-called castro castle might look like several homes in this notoriously colorful neighborhood. but go inside and you'll experience a living piece of san francisco history. >> this was the first medical marijuana initiative in san francisco. >> john entwistle lives in the house he previously shared with his husband, dennis peron. peron, who died in 2018, was a prominent cannabis activist in the 90s. he coauthored the proposition that would legalize medical marijuana in california and ultimately became credited with changing the political debate about cannabis around the country. over the years, entwistle and others have turned a portion of the home into a museum honoring peron's legacy, showing some of the 50 years of struggle from the dark days when they would put you in jail for ten years, for giving a guy two joints. >> and they did that. or they put you in jail for one year

showed that there were old people who needed it. also, and that it was not just a recreational thing, but but it was a medicine. >> while marijuana has been fully legal in california since 2016, entwistle believes there's still more work to be done in other parts of the country. that's why he's hoping one day this collection will serve as a lesson in hope. >> that's the goal is to inspire other people to do more things, to make the world a better place. >> in san francisco. tim johns, abc seven news. >> we have several breakthroughs to share tonight in our work to build a better bay area. first, santa clara county is the first in the state to enroll people into a brand new program providing medi-cal to those exiting incarceration. >> this means that gains that were made while in custody through mental health services, drug addiction treatment, and support for chronic health conditions will not be lost when people leave custody. >> santa clara is one of three california counties to pilot this program. enrollees can

receive medi-cal benefits for up to 12 months after leaving a correctional facility. every county in the state will be required to implement this program by october of next year. >> our next breakthrough is an east bay elementary school cafeteria that may be a shining example of what's to come in schools across america. richmond's michelle obama elementary school is now serving 100% organic food in its cafeteria. the conscious kitchen is responsible for the food, with input from famous bay area chef alice waters, she puts an emphasis on fresh, local, organic, seasonal foods for kids, bringing the farm to table movement into west contra costa counties. schools. >> west contra costa was the first. we're working with many other districts in the region, really supporting local organic farmers and bringing a lot of produce in. we're just starting to bring in many different kinds of food. we hope it's a blueprint for our state. 100% organic, first in the nation. >> backers say this can be a model for school cafeterias across america.

>> our final breakthrough is the rise of waymo. its robotaxi service is providing more than 150,000 trips every week. apparently, the company also says its fleet of autonomous vehicles logs more than 1 million miles weekly. ridership is also booming, jumping by more than 50% in two months. currently, it's offering service in san francisco and san mateo counties, los angeles, as well as the phoenix area. it is testing out service in new york city, buffalo and washington, dc. a business group in the north bay is going broke and stolen. twinkly lights are the reason novato's downtown business association is trying to solve a budget deficit fueled in part by the theft of lights on trees. the group told the city council it spent $80,000 to replace the white lights on the trees on grant avenue. a copper thieves were cutting them down and taking the electrical boxes. the new lights have theft resistant features. the business district is fundraising now to

try to cover that cost. >> one dog's story of survival tonight, after being attacked by a mountain lion in the santa cruz mountains. bella's owner, richard baker, says she walked outside and just 20 or so minutes later, she walked back in all ripped up. she had bite marks all across her body. some even puncturing her skull, and was close to turning septic. vets raced to help. >> my first reaction, to be honest, was i don't know if i can can save her. >> she's got that fighter instinct, you know? and so i think that that love that she has had for life and, you know, the family is what kept her here. you know. >> fighting in bella bella continues to battle an infection, but is so far making a miraculous recovery. baker says he's facing about $20,000 in vet bills, but his dog will hopefully have a full recovery by mid-november. >> how sweet. i know, bella. that cute face. poor thing. gone

through a lot, but on the mend. we hope. all right, let's talk about the weather forecast. >> yes. meteorologist sandhya patel is here with what's coming our way this halloween week. sandhya. >> yeah. ama and dan. hopefully bella does better. and let's talk about rain chances as we take a look here. they're going up beginning tomorrow night. we have another opportunity for some wet weather friday night. going into saturday. those are going to be the highest probabilities of rain, but don't you worry, halloween for the trick or treaters is looking just fine. so let's talk about the first system. there's two parts to it. the first part of it is this front. this can be a fast mover tomorrow night going into thursday. and then the second part of this system is this trough. and so that's going to bring us the rain friday night into saturday. so let's talk about the now. high clouds are passing through the bay area tonight. temperatures are ranging anywhere from the 40s to the 50s. as we look at a live picture from our pier 39 camera. just a beautiful view of some passing clouds, and tomorrow's forecast will look like this. in the morning at 8:00 you will see

a lot of cloud cover around inland. temperature will come up into the 60s and by 5 p.m. into the 70s around the bay. mostly cloudy, low 50s, eventually to the upper 60s and coastside. it is going to be a cloudy start, upper 40s coming up into the low 60s. by 5 p.m. exploratorium cameras showing you a lovely view of san francisco overnight. we are looking at increasing clouds. late tomorrow night. the showers arrive, they will spread while you're sleeping and halloween looks spooktacular. so i think for the trick or treaters, it should be all right. let's talk about the morning. isolated showers at 7:00, 40s and 50s. i think by the time the kids parades get underway, everything will be dried out. partly cloudy at noontime and breezy in the afternoon. and then creepy clouds at 8 p.m. there might be an isolated shower in the north bay, but other than that, everybody should be just fine. 30s to 50s on the temperatures, partly to mostly cloudy tomorrow morning. tomorrow afternoon. you're looking at highs in the 60s and low 70s as we look ahead to tomorrow evening, 8:00 the

rain begins to move into the north bay. it is still sitting there at 10 p.m. the rest of you are just dealing with cloud cover. it starts to cross the bay at midnight and that's just going to turn more scattered in nature, scattered showers for thursday morning and then you will notice it's most of the day is just clouds sun mix. but 2:00 in the afternoon, isolated pop-up showers in the north bay once again at 7 p.m. and at 11 p.m. so it's not a game changer. certainly should be just fine for all the activities on halloween. but rainfall? it is welcome anywhere from a few hundredths of an inch to almost 2/10 of an inch. wetter spots will pick up more. there is a second system coming in friday night. that one looks juicier going into saturday with some heavier rain. certainly will be seeing some snow mixing in with the rain in the mountains. so in the sierra we're talking about four inches at south lake tahoe, eight inches at donner, the accuweather seven day forecast. rain tomorrow night. it spreads by early thursday. that's the time where it's a level one. halloween night is fine.

november 1st late night rain friday going into saturday. what's a level one with scattered morning showers? and just a reminder, don't forget daylight saving time ends. set your clocks back one hour sunday. you'll have some warmth and sunshine to enjoy as we head into that time as mayor of san jose, he took on pg&e and special interests to lower utility bills and reduce emissions by 36%. worked to lower costs for working families. and with reproductive rights under attack, liccardo stepped up to fund planned parenthood. he will always protect reproductive freedom. in a closely divided congress, liccardo will work with both parties
