today in the bay's christie smith is live in contra costa where survivors want the nation to remember the tragedy so it doesn't happen again. christie? >> survivors are really a living part of american history. this is the 47th year they gathered on top of mount diablo to share stories and lie a beacon. the phrase remember pearl harbor is taking on a more poignant and urgent tone as witnesses to one of the deadliest attacks on american soil. four members of the mount diablo chapter of the pearl harbor survivor's association passed away this summer. nationwide it's estimated that in survivor's groups, there only 3,000 members left. that serves as a reminder as to why this group is so dedicated to the cause. the attack ushered in the united states involvement in world war ii.

the beacon locally blinks a white light until it's turned off the next morning. survivors will stop at a school in concord before heading up to the top of mount diablo. in the past, fog and clouds have made the beacon tough to see. survivors say they just want to make sure that it's on for those who died december 7 th, 1941. the ceremony begins at 3:45. christie smith, today in the bay. >> a bay area man is due in court to answer to charges that he severely beat an elderly priest. will lynch is expected to enter a plea in santa clara county superior court. lynch said the priest, gerald linder molested him and his brother repeatedly for years. lynch said he was going to use the case to publicly shame linder and call attention to clergy abuse. a battle david and gi li ath

is being wa goes against the city of san jose. people who live in the small patch could wind up with a new city, but it will be san jose or campbell. san jose city leaders have other ideas. the council will vote on whether to annex 36, but people who live there said they would rather be part of campbell. >> i finally settled in my home and it's a great community and the next morning you wake up and you are governed by a different town paying a different set of taxes. >> san jose officials say as part of a settlement with the county, the city can legally annex 36. san jose claims that the residents will be better for it. >> a missing southern california hiker is being looked for. michelle yu was hiking on mt.

baldy on saturday. they are worried she would be injured. she was only supposed to be taking a day hike. yu has food and water, but was not dressed for rain, wind, and snow. mt. baldy is about 40 miles east of los angeles. trading $5 million for $1 million seems like a bad deal, but santa clara county may do it. they will consider paying out $5 million to top level managers and executives. in return there would be a cap on how much unused vacation the managers can pocket in cash. that would save the count be $1 million a year. obviously in the short-term, it would lose, but pay off effectually. santa clara county faces a budget deficit. people all over the bay area

will gather to take part in a national vigil to show support for the dream act. a candlelight vigil begins at 5:30 in san jose. students are expected to attend. there will be a canned food drive in candlelight vigil in san francisco. at 4:15 at st. john's church. the house is expected to vote on the dream act this week. if it passes, it grants permanent residence to some immigrants who graduate from college or serve in the military. >> thanks a lot. a three-judge panel from the ninth circuit court of appeals will eventually make a ruling on prop 8 that lasted about 2 1/2 hours. we talked about this a short time ago, but the legal analyst is back again to talk about what we can take from yesterday's hearing. thanks for coming. i guess one of the issues that

we have to talk about is in this case, some same-sex marriages have been performed in california and the court has to consider what we do about those people. why is that such a big deal? >> it's an important position in the case because you are now divesting people of a right they previously had. the court is going to look at that carefully to say should wey use a different standard? people were allowed to marry for months and now are we going it take that right away from other same-sex couples? that's a very important situation. i think that could turn this case around. you are divesting someone of a right they already had. >> it's not should we do this, it's already been done and you have to take it away. >> there is the evidence that these people have been married and there marriages all over the country and there has been no governmental detriment and the purpose of prop 8 according to the proponents is to

institutionalize marriage to raise children for opposite sex couples. when you look at california law, same-sex couples have virtually all the same rights with adopting children and things like that. and you are saying the status of marriage does not apply to them. what is the legitimate interest in taking that right away? >> this is an issue they are looking at in california, but the ninth circuit court is a federal court that. could have ramifications for courts across the country. >> the ninth circuit will rule on this in the west coast. circuit courts are looking at this issue. same-sex marriage is propping up across the country and that's why i think the united states supreme court will ultimately have to resolve this issue. it is a question under the federal equal protection clause. there is federal benefits involved. it's a wide-ranging decision and it's important that the united states supreme court speak as

one court. >> quickly, the last question here. if the ninth circuit court were to rule way and there is another somewhere else, is it possible they would rule a different way? >> absolutely. the united states supreme court at that point would weigh in on the issue. they may wait for a different ruling and a conflict, but at that point the united states supreme court would have to step in and give guidance to the rest of the united states on this issue. >> thanks a lot, steven clark. appreciate your perspective. >> 6:10 in the morning. in the south bay for an accident in santa clara on a major roadway. lawrence expressway. i used to hang out there as a kid. now people are hanging out because of an accident. it took a while to clear the lanes and you might find slowing at the major intersection. on the map, a new accident reported. i will get directions if there

lanes blocked. the interchange if this is that is where you are headed, there will be activity as you approach highway 87. we move through sunol, but the clouds might be touching the freeway. livermore as the commute continues to build and building at the bay bridge toll plaza where we see the cars lining up. the metering lights should be turned on, but low clouds are drifting through. >> patchy clouds, but not in san jose where it's a pleasant 45 degrees. 48 in san francisco with light winds and into oakland in the 40s with high clouds and not much wind. not much rain for the moment around the bay area across the coast. a few showers and north of healdsberg where the main rain will hold off and spread south as we head to tomorrow. today is decent with increasing high clouds. 60s around san jose and 50s and 60s across the north bay and the

prices are slowly creeping up. the national average for a will go on are $2.95, 32 cents more than a year ago and the highest price in three sdms. it comes at a tough time for many drivers. >> i think they know christmas is coming and we are getting toad raed to have trips and vacations and they are trying to get in our pocket books. >> if oil prices don't go down, they could hit $3 or more by the end of the year. here in the bay area, the numbers are easy. gas prices here are well above $3. here in san francisco, the average price for regular is $3.30, up 33 cents. in oakland, dollar there 3.23. >> the largest unemployment discrimination lawsuit in history today. the justices decided to review a

is disposable. i said there has got to be a better way. that's when green toys was born. >> despite of what you see, we are doing well. >> this is off the charts and we are not producing toys. we are usually done and demand has been so big, we are on three ships, seven days a week. >> they are made with plastics here in san leandro that they hired out and you have been kind of a godsend to them because they relied on real automotive products where now they are making toy products. they are relying on the new plan. >> that's right. factories like this where subcontractors in fremont closed down and we are taking up the slack. they have been happy. american jobs in american manufacturing. who would know? >> merry christmas.
