8:11 am
it is 8:11, and this father's day is especially tough for the two kids of brian stow, the giants fan beaten outside of dodgers stadium two and a half months ago. he is still in a coma. his 12-year-old son tyler stow says they, along with his 8- year-old sister, tabitha, usually go to a giants game for father's day, but this year,
8:12 am
the kids will visit dad at san francisco general hospital, where he has been since being transferred from los angeles. >> we did special things with him, different from, like, other dads would do. >> they plan to make father's day extra special this year for stow, hopefully by putting together a photo collage for his hospital room. the weather will be pretty nice for father's day. that is the good news there. >> improving trend across the area. we're in a serious summer pattern here, as we see the marine layer is indeed in place across the bay. lots of low clouds and fog moving through the golden gate into the east bay hills, but it is beginning to break up and that trend will continue through the day, as we look for more sunshine out there this afternoon and warming trend out across the interior will be headed into the 80s today. should see 90s by early in the week. could even be pushing 100 by midweek. so looks like early heat wave heading our way here this week,
8:13 am
which means it will be a rapid snow melt in the highcountry. we see lots of sunshine across the interior, as we look back to the bay. there is a marine layer in there. tops are running about 2000 feet this morning. as we can see outside, it's already beginning to burn off. the jet stream going by to the north. weak disturbance brushing northern california. all that's doing for us is maintaining onshore push, keeping marine layer in place along the coast and late night, morning hours, giving way to afternoon clearing. by midweek, less of the marine layer and warmer temperatures, even back to the beach. today, deep marine layer sloarl clearly out this morning. warming inland will begin and come the beginning of the week, we'll see that warming all the way back to the beach, as i mentioned. could be looking at 70s, 80s in the city here by midweek, as we see the low cloud deck in its classic summer pattern. retreating to the beach through the day, thinning out, rolling back in late night and early
8:14 am
morning hours. come midweek, an approaching high pressure system will bring an offshore breeze, enough to warm temperatures all the way back to the beach, with lots of sunshine expected. so let the warming begin across the interior today. mid to upper 80s for tomorrow, heading into the 90s. upper 60s to low 70s overnight. upper 50s to low 60s at the beach, as the low clouds will be a little slower to go there, and on the bay today, west- southwesterly winds offshore 10 to 15, a little less than the bay. pretty quiet for the most part, as low clouds and fog give way to sunnier afternoon. here's where the warmup begins again. through the weekend, gradual warmup into the mid-80s. looking at 90s come the beginning of the week through midweek, possibly triple-digit readings out there across the
8:15 am
interior. cooling down through the end of the week, into next weekend. this will result in a rapid snow melt, as i mentioned. we'll be looking for high rivers and reservoirs here with the water running high, fast and cold for the next several weeks. there you go, ann. first warmup of the summer is on the way. >> we shall take it. thanks, jim. taking a look at a very bright idea in san jose, one school district has been able to save teachers' jobs with green energy. and that has caught the attention of california's head of public education. >> good for the environment. it saves money that could otherwise be spent on electricity is now being spent in the classroom, and it's a learning opportunity for students. so i call it a triple win. >> he says the solar panel project in the eastside union high school may serve as a model for other campuses who want to do the same thing. very impressive project. and from the board of trustees, piedmont hills, kelsey chan joining us now with more on the
8:16 am
project. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> what an amazing project. a, you're saving teachers' jobs, that is huge, so many school districts are looking to do it. but you're looking at the green manner. if you could explain what the project is. >> basically we are the largest solar energy project at a school district in the country at this point, producing 7.1- megawatts of energy. >> and so is that something for the school district to be taking on? how did this come about? >> well, it came about because we had an opportunity to save money by investing in solar energy. and so instead of spending money on electricity, we're able to keep that money in the classroom where it belongs. kelsey, you are an incoming senior and have been involved in the project. tell us how you got involved. is this part of a class? >> well, i'm part of my associated student body, our leadership class. we were able to be part of the ribbon cutting ceremony, which
8:17 am
is really exciting. and, yeah. >> what are you doing, putting on a hard hat and selling solar panels? >> no, not quite. they are going to be bringing in learning materials for the students in the classroom. so we'll get to learn firsthand how our solar panels work, which i think is a really great opportunity for the students. yeah, certainly a way to prepare you for a career in the future, because green energy is obviously huge right now. what have you heard from the teachers whose jobs you've been able to save? frank, i assume you've spoken with them. >> well, you know, all districts are having very difficult times because of the economic conditions in the state right now. things are getting better, and this has really been a great boost of morale for teachers to know it's not going to get any worse because we've made a very effective investment. how do you make the investment? there has to be general principle that you have to put forth. >> we were appropriately skeptical about what we would be receiving with the efforts of chevron. but after thorough investigation, we found we
8:18 am
would be able to save $43 million over 25 years by investing in solar energy. at 13 sites around the eastside. and kelsey, is this something you're interested in taking part in, in the future? >> definitely. i think that this is the way the world is headed, towards more sustainable energy and being more green. so i'm very excited about this project. and they are hoping this is going to become a model for other school districts around the country. is that possible? seems like a large project to take on. >> well, i think it is a model. we learned from a few other districts that had started with smaller projects and we built upon what they did. i think it's going to make a big difference. i think the basic economic problem that we have right now is the transition from an oil- based economy to a clean energy- based economy. and we were happy to be one of the leaders in setting the pace for that transition. and what kind of buildings are you outfitting right now with these solar panels? >> well, the panels basically cover our parking lots. so it's not only a benefit producing electricity, but it keeps the cars cool during the
8:19 am
day. you have the panels laid out, then that produces energy that then goes into your other buildings? >> that's right. we're producing about 55% of our energy locally at our school sites now. wonderful. anything else you guys want to share about the program? >> well, we have a lot of also very good environmentally. we are the equivalent of 4900 metric tons of carbon every year, and that would be the equivalent of 800 football fields full of pine trees. so it's good for the environment. it's good for the classroom. and it's good for saving money and protecting our teachers' jobs. that is absolutely huge. i know school districts are dealing with a lot of trouble right now when it comes to money. to be able to have a double benefit, awesome program. frank belle and kelsey chandler, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you. coming up next, bargains for brides. the east bay store offering designer wedding dresses starting at $99.

patchy clouds to look at this morning, keeping temperatures on the cool side. we'll begin to see a warming trend for the inland locations, headed into the mid to upper 80s here through the next couple of days, possibly some low 90s headed our way by midweek. here's a look at our weather pattern. strong high pressure system off the central california coast, keeping the jet stream cruising by to our north. we're seeing a weak disturbance clip the northern california border, not bringing much in the way of any clouds into the region, but it is maintaining our onshore push across the region, and of course, that keeps the fog in place on the california coast. we'll look for the deep marine layer to prevail through the weekend, slowly clearing through the day. sunshine, but maybe not at the beach. partly cloudy there all day long. the warming inland will begin today, as i mentioned, mid to low 80s today with upper 80s tomorrow and come the beginning of the week, we'll be talking 90s for the in land valleys, possibly triple-digit readings
8:43 am
by midweek. summer officially starts on tuesday, so the calendar and the weather cooperating here, as a classic summer pattern sets up, late night and early morning low clouds giving way to midday clearing and warming trend to kick summer off here after a very wet and cold spring has prevailed. as i mentioned up in the mountains, they will be looking at around lake take show, 70s, upper 60s in the next couple of days, that will result in rapid snow melt up there. again, all the rivers in the foothills are going to be high, fast and cold for the foreseeable future. so rafting is going to be a bit dicey up there. lots of rapids, but very cold water, as we look for low 80s to prevail across the interior today. a few upper 70s as well, but again, this is just the beginning of this warming trend that will take us into and new midweek before we see things begin to cool down. in the east bay, upper 60s to low 70s. 80s the beginning of the week, with 70s expected back to the beach by midweek. today, however, we'll look for
8:44 am
low 60s, mid to low 60s on the peninsula and low 60s, upper 50s on the beach. again, the warmup will begin and continue through the beginning of the week, peaking out here midweek, as we'll see some mid-90s for most locations. could be warmer spots out there. gradually through the end of the week, we will cool back down into the 80s here at the marine layer setting up again for next weekend. and for the giants-a's game this afternoon, we'll look for temperatures in the low 60s here under partly cloudy skies over in oakland. 7:05 at game time, as again, the bay series, game 2 gets under way. >> that is exciting. >> indeed. weather classic. >> fabulous, right in time for father's day. we do love it. i'm sorry that you're sick. >> yeah, well, that's what i get.

quote
8:46 am
otherwise, they are going to taste awful and you'll lose the nutritional flavor. when you buy them marks sure you see a light brown color all the way around. that is so important. skin, nice and tight. when you bring the kiwi fruit home, store them on the counter. when they are ready to enjoy, they will have a very nice give to them. one thing about kiwi fruit that's fantastic, when they are nice and ripe, put them in the refrigerator and they will last another seven days, which is fantastic. kiwi fruit has 240% of the vitamin c you need for the day and dietary fiber. they are great for us. for that price, that's what i call pennies on the dollar for nutritional value and flavor. kiwi fruit, when the price is great, the flavor is out of this world. i'm tony tantillo, your fresh grocer with your tip of the day, and they are delicious! ,, cash back with my credit card? love the idea.

8:52 am
young award. this has been a real predictor of success. some of the past winners, their instant stages. we have google, oracle, intel, winners of your award. then obviously they went on to become fabulous companies. how do you pick these people? >> well, i wish i could say we picked them all, but the award has been around for 25 years. we started by trying to introduce the concept of having successful companies be involved in the program. and we have actively gone out along with other people to try to identify these companies at the early stages typically. and in the case of the companies you mentioned, obviously they have been highly successful. we are looking for high growth companies and in doing so, we have, you know, spanned the northern california area, looking to get those companies involved in the program and our wonderful set of judges has done a great job of helping us to identify the right ones. what is the trademark of success these days? >> success can be measured in many ways. you'll get a chance to hear one of the stories here. certainly what you see in these companies is resilience. you see that they are willing to fight through some pretty
8:53 am
hard times. willing to take chances. the entreprenauers are successful because they are taking significant chances, and they are okay with selling, as long as they succeed. what you see is the resiliency, determination, desire to change something in the way that they live their daily lives, and to change the community that they live in. so one of these risk-taking entreprenauers, sheryl, who used to be a big wig at cliff bar. you had this successful job with a very successful company, nutritional bar, if people don't know about it, very popular. you dislieded to leave and start your own deal. tell me about that decision. >> you know, there was just this moment where i started to realize that i wanted to try it on my own. i wanted to start a company that really stood for where i was in my life, which is about my children, my kids, 7 and 10, so incredibly important to me, and i wanted to start a company that helped me to be able to connect with something that i knew was important to them,
8:54 am
which is eating healthy food. and also i met my now cofounder neil grimmer, and there's something about entreprenauers, where when you find the right person, you know you have the magic that it takes in order to make a successful company. so you decided to branch off and you're doing healthy baby food, organic baby food. how long have you been doing this and how is that going for you? >> we've been doing it for three years. it is, it's an amazing experience. you feel like you're birthing something, literally, and to see it grow and see it be in the world. there was one day where i was walking with some other people, and there was a woman pushing her baby stroller and i went up to her and i was going to ask her if she knew about plum gorks. i looked into the chair and the baby was eating them! i'm, like, oh, my god, it's in the world! >> a marketing success! >> totally, but it is a very risky in this economy to go off on your own to start a
8:55 am
business. what are things you think people should keep in mind? >> well, certainly having the right partner, looking at the timing aspects of it. again, cheryl has a great example of timing. she started in the down part of the economy, two and a half, three years ago. obviously being inspired, finding some niche that you believe needs the attention of the community around you, and obviously having the dedication that it takes to put all of your efforts into it. and cheryl, quickly, how has business changed from the early stages of cliff bar to starting your own company? i know the strategies really change over time in dealing with the economy as well. >> yeah, you know, in the early days of clif bar, the natural foot was in early state. it was much easier to get into retail at that time. we told the story in clif bar, about the beginnings of it and it was such a new way of
8:56 am
approaching business, the intimacy with the consumer. now it's so different. everyone's on top of natural food. it's a really good thing, because we're bringing better food to people, but that means it's so much more competitive. it's harder to get on the shelves. more expensive to get on the shelves. all the big companies have noticed this world and they are all going after it. so be nimble and creative and innovative and doing it really, really quickly. it's incredibly important. being a real entrepreneur, entrepreneur of the year award, looking forward to finding out who wins. when is that? >> northern california will be next saturday night when we host the event. fabulous. thank you for joining us this morning. good luck to you. >> thank you. well, brides ready to pounce on bargains in oakland. the unusual store selling cheap wedding dresses this weekend. plus, free mortgage help to homeowners in san jose. what you need to know to qualify for that advice. we'll be right back. ,, 3q

9:01 am
dealing with a major mess left behind by a computer crash. this was the scene at sfo last night, one of united hubs. kiosks and departure monitors were blank, major computer meltdown. arriving flights were being held on the tarmac because there was no gate space. in oakland, same problem with its united flights. united says a network connectivity issue is to blame for the problem that grounded flights nationwide. the airline says flight operations will be affected all weekend. luckily, not a lot of cancellations, but a whole lot of delays, so check your flights. the massive volunteer search for michelle le continues today in the east bay. more than 100 people fanned out across rough terrain on friday in southern alameda county for day one of the three-day search. they planted pink ribbons near possible evidence so police could check it out. the 26-year-old nursing student vanished three weeks ago.
9:02 am
police believe le was murdered, but her family still is hoping that she is alive. volunteers who don't even know her are pitching in with that search. >> takes what, four or five hours out of your time? why not? i feel really bad for the family. >> really this is all about elimination. you know, you identify areas and you get out there and you search them and the more areas that we can eliminate, that helps in the investigation. >> people have been working two to three hour shifts under a hot sun. the le family is hoping for double the number of volunteers today and possibly even more on sunday. a violent ending to a police chase in east palo alto leaves one woman dead. a jeep flipped over on its side at east bayshore road at around 10:30 last night. patrol car started chasing the jeep when the driver did not pull over for traffic stop. officers say she was driving recklessly. after the jeep crashed, the driver and her passenger flew

9:04 am
police say were killed by poison-laced meatballs. dj was taken to the vet, suffering from seizures on june 4 and died that same day. and two days later, cocoa also died of poisoning. >> i was pretty shocked. >> reporter: tom tarville lives next door to the victim and believes the person who allegedly spiked the meatballs may have gained access to his neighbor's yard through his backyard. >> the guy apparently just, he just doesn't like dogs, for one, and just kind of reflects on his character, i believe. >> reporter: neighbors have been on alert after this flyer was circulated, warning that dogs are being poisoned. the owner of the deceased dogs told cbs 5 by phone that she found four meatballs in her backyard and received three threatening letters over the past year. earlier this week, concord police served a search warrant and arrested one of the victim's neighbors, but police are not releasing his name, nor have they filed any formal charges while they are awaiting results of toxicology and computer forensic testing. neighbors in the area say they
9:05 am
are both alarmed and sad. >> sad, because i know the dogs. they were kind of annoying at times because they are loud, but i love animals, so i wouldn't want to see them get hurt like they did. >> it's a terrible thing. i can't understand what would get into somebody to do a thing like that. >> people shouldn't be poisoning anything. who knows who is going to get a hold of it and eat it, maybe a kid. bad idea. >> reporter: and concord police are looking into the possibility that the recent dog poisonings are related to a similar case in 2003. in that case, a dog was poisoned and there were also threatening letters sent to the dog's owner. in concord, mark sayre, cbs 5. refusing to pull a video has surfaced of that incident on a u.s. airways flight at sfo. you may remember it from earlier this week, where a college student was arrested for refusing to pull up his sagging pants. here is deshon marman talking to the plane's pilot. >> i didn't do nothing to
9:06 am
nobody, sir. this is your aircraft, but i didn't do nothing to nobody. i didn't break no laws, didn't touch nobody, didn't break no laws. they don't need to be here -- [ indescernible ] i ain't breaking no laws. i know my rights. >> marman said he told an airline employee he was wearing pajama pants and he would pull them up when he sat them down. marman, a university of new mexico football player said in a written statement, quote, i'm embarrassed the negative attention that has been brought upon my family, my football team, my teammates, and most of all, myself. this is not representative of either myself or the university of new mexico football program. more bay area headlines. in mountain view, police found a expected bank robber at starbucks reading the paper. yesterday, officers spotted lawrence patita at the coffee shop about 30 minutes after the robbery. they say they saw him go into the bathroom and when he came out, he had different clothes

9:09 am
actually used individual injunctions against particular locations, particular individuals. what i worried about in this injunction was first of all the entire fruitvale neighborhood. a very broad list of people, some of which the state attorney now has to take off. >> reporter: the one-time city attorney john russo has created instability of his own in oakland, moving on to become alameda's city manager. one reason he says he left is because he clashed with the mayor over the injunctions. on his side, police chafee anthony bass, who himself tried to leave for the top cop job in san jose. >> how are things between you and chief bass these days? >> we work pretty closely. it's clear that when i came on board, he is very ambitious and very talented. he wants to move on up. we had a very frank discussion. i said i know i'm not the mayor who hired you. i just need to know if you're staying or not, because we have
9:10 am

9:15 am
>> anybody with unaffordable mortgage, they qualify, as long as they are an owner/occupant, not investor. it's a four-step process. step one, orientation. step two, meet with a counselor to determine affordable mortgage payment. step three, meet with your lender to get an affordable solution, saving hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars a month, and then step four, meet with a naca negotiator to make sure it's done in writing. >> reporter: you guys are nonprofit. >> yes. >> reporter: lot of people look at this and say how does this work? is this legit? how do you make your money? why are you doing this? >> well, by having a huge line out front before we even start, it's by word of mouth. certainly we are a nonprofit. we do get grants, but most importantly, when someone gets an affordable solution and they make their payments on time for three months, we will get paid by some of the lenders for affordable solutions, when there's a track record of on- time payments. >> reporter: people will be sitting face to face, eye to
9:16 am
eye with their lenders. it gets emotional. bring the kleenex? >> oh, absolutely. i have the best job in the country. people come up to me, sometimes just bawling, tears come down their face. they say we can go home and tell my children we have a home for as long as we want to be here. it's that emotional, that personal. we're saving homes. we're saving families. sometimes people say we saved their life. that's how emotional this is. >> reporter: this emotion, does it really make a difference to what these banks and lenders? when people think of a banker, they think of the heartless guy sitting at the computer. you're saying this makes a difference, this actually gets stuff done? >> that's why there's so many people here, because we have a track record of unbelievable results. that's why the word in california, is you have to come to a naca save the dream event to get to an affordable solution. absolutely. when that decision-maker, that banker is right there in front of the homeowner, they are in it together now. it's not a piece of paper.
9:17 am
it's not a phone call. it's a person with kids, a family, that wants to save their home. that emotion is absolutely crucial. >> reporter: what do people need to bring to the event, what documents? >> the most important is verification of income. don't bring money, because everything is free. verification of one's income is very important. if you're an employed individual, bring three pay stubs. six months of bank statements. >> reporter: thank you very much, bruce marks, with the save the dream tour. come out here if you want to save your home and they will be here for the next couple of days. back to you. >> kiet do reporting for us. looks like it's going to be a lovely father's day weekend. boy, if you haven't sent out your card yet, you're too late! >> get ready for the barbecue, because we are looking at a classic summer pattern here across the bay, which includes, of course, morning low clouds and fog around the bay, lots of
9:18 am
sunshine and warm temperatures across the interior. here's a shot from mount vaca looking back to the bay. see the top of the marine layer below the hills here. it will thin out through the day and back to the beach. the beach may stay cloudy today, but gradually through the week, we'll see more sunshine, as temperatures are expected to warm. again, we'll hang on to patchy low clouds around the bay, as conditions continue to clear and warm, with the resulting high pressure system parked off the coast of afternoon. that's going to be our dominant weather put it tour through the week. it's keeping the jet stream well to our north. by the beginning of the week, that high sets up right along the coast and bring with it enough of an onshore breeze to dissipate the low cloud cover in the morning, leaving us sunny skies and warmer temperatures through midweek. for the weekend, we'll still hang on to the morning fog, giving way to partial afternoon clearing, even back at the beach. marine layer is pretty deep out there this morning, about 2000
9:19 am
feet, slowly clear to the coast, as the warming inland begins today and continues through midweek. we'll be talking 90s by midweek, possibly some triple- digit readings here as our classic summer pattern begins. officially the first day of summer is tuesday. looks like the weather's going to cooperate with the calendar here, as we are indeed looking at a typical somersetup here for the west coast, which includes warm temperatures in the highcountry, into the upper 60s to low 70s. lots of sunshine there, rapid snow melt as a result, reservoirs, rivers and creeks running high, fast and cold. there are flood advisories out for many of the foothills, yosemite and dangerous conditions will exist in front of those rivers out there, even as the rapids run high as well. we'll look for mid to low 80s for the warmer spots today. back to the east bay, upper 60s into the mid-70s here. mid to low 60s on the peninsula. cooler at the beach where the
9:20 am
fog will linger. upper 50s, low 60s there. the warmup will continue through midweek with 90s across the interior. 70s at the beach, and then look for gradual cooldown by the end of next week, as the marine layer returns once again kicking in the natural air conditioner here to cool us off and looks like our wet spring pattern has finally broken. don't see any rain in our forecast at all. maybe a little drizzle at the coast, but once again, it's right on time with the calendar here, as summer officially will begin on the 21st, on tuesday. this will probably be our pattern for the next three months or so. >> fabulous. we'll take it. >> indeed. >> thanks, jim. what was he thinking? that's one of the reactions to the tweeting scandal that brought down a new york congressman. coming up next, going over digital etiquette, tweeting, texting, and connecting with old flames on facebook. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
