but i doubt there is. >> the report says there needs to be a comprehensive review for the dam project. the department of water resources is responding saying public safety is the state's priority and they will apply lessons learned here. they are trying to rebuild the spillway before a november 1st deadline. 5:56. more people are riding caltrain. they released their report this week. they said more than 65,000 people ride cal train between san jose and san francisco. the 2010 ridership increased 73%. caltrain says that's reducing traffic and greenhouse gases in the bay area. an invasive species of fruit flies was found putting the industry at risk. it was found in a fly trap late last week. the invasive species probably came from hawaii. the county responded by putting

out 1100 traps to capture any other flies. the agricultural commissioner says the fly can infest 250 types of fruits and vegetables. >> the flies lay eggs on the skin or below the skin of the fruit. the eggs hatch into maggots. not only is there a maggot in it, but it causes the fruit to decompose and get mushy and unpalettable. >> early to talk about maggots. we did some digging and found this isn't the first time it's happened in the area. farmers in dixon lost $1 million of produce when there was an infestation a decade ago. one of the fruit flies was found in vacaville. we have to control that. 5:57. a coach accused of sending inappropriate texts to swimmers is due in court for a hearing. he was an assistant coach at the
