((vo tape 1)) cg1=churchill, canada in all likelihood, bay area travelers

are going to fly to churchill via winnipeg, in the canadian province of manitoba. in the five-minute or so drive into town one of the first things you'll notice.. along with the lack of traffic.. is the colorful murals painted on assorted buildings. with a population of around 900, it's what you won't find in churchill that really ups its charm. no traffic lights. one gas station, one grocery store, four restaurants, and i think three bars. set along the shores of the hudson bay, it's picturesque.. and for all intents and purpose.. the easily accessible arctic. ((vo tape 2)) belugas cg2=hudson bay churchill, canada and it has a way of showing off. this stretch of hudson bay and the churchill river is home to what's said to be the world's largest population of beluga whales. from mid-june to mid-september, thousands of whales flood these waters. you can venture out on a big boat or smaller zodiac boats, you can kayak and even paddle board. unlike other types of

whale watching trips, belugas, tend to be a more social bunch and they seem to be curious about people. they're typically not shy. mother nature is never a sure bet, but if you're willing to take a chilly plunge.. ((vo tape 3)) we're talking water temperatures in july in the 40s you can snorkel with the whales. there's no guarantee. i tried twice and only got fleeting glimpses, but sea north tours had me in a fantastic wetsuit, and i would jump at the chance to do it again.

many popular vacation spots. but how about churchill? travel enthusiast dana rebmann joins us now to explain why this fairly unknown locale should be on your must-visit list.. ((2 shot)) churchill is an unknown to most americans. in fact, it's an unknown to many canadians. but that's okay.. don't let that dissuade you. it's just another reason to visit. ((vo tape 1)) cg1=churchill, canada in all likelihood, bay area travelers are going to fly to churchill via winnipeg, in the canadian province of manitoba. in the five-minute or so drive into town one of the first things you'll notice.. along with the lack of traffic.. is the colorful murals painted on assorted buildings. with a population of around 900, it's what you won't find in churchill that really ups its charm. no traffic lights. one gas station, one grocery store, four restaurants, and i think three bars. set along the shores of the hudson bay, it's picturesque.. and for all intents and purpose.. the easily accessible arctic. ((vo tape 2)) belugas cg2=hudson bay churchill,

canada and it has a way of showing off. this stretch of hudson bay and the churchill river is home to what's said to be the world's largest population of beluga whales. from mid-june to mid-september, thousands of whales flood these waters. you can venture out on a big boat or smaller zodiac boats, you can kayak and even paddle board. unlike other types of whale watching trips, belugas, tend to be a more social bunch and they seem to be curious about people. they're typically not shy. mother nature is never a sure bet, but if you're willing to take a chilly plunge.. ((vo tape 3)) we're talking water temperatures in july in the 40s you can snorkel with the whales. there's no guarantee. i tried twice and only got fleeting glimpses, but sea north tours had me in a fantastic wetsuit, and i would jump at the chance to do it again. ((2 shot on cam)) i have a bias for belugas, but

many folks come to churchill in search of polar bears. ((vo tape 4)) polar bear jail, tundra buggy, polar bears cg2=tundra buggy frontiers north adventures churchill is home to what's said to be the world's only polar bear jail.

when it's a full house, it can hold a crowd of 28 bears, maybe a bit more if there are mothers and cubs involved. no visitors are allowed at the jail, so if you want to up your odds of seeing a polar bear, book a ride on a tundra buggy.. it's like a cross between a monster truck and a school bus. and it goes into the tundra, into the churchill wildlife management area (cwma) on established trails, to look for polar bears keeping cool along the coast. the drivers and tour leaders know the environment and are incredibly good at spotting guys like this. during the summer tundra tours last about 6 hours. frontiers north runs program geared toward traveling families, so there were many kids on my tundra buggy. we spotted this polar bear within an hour of getting started, so the day was made. the eagle, caribou, and canadian geese were icing on the cake. since we didn't have to search very hard for bears, our driver brendan, gave the

dozen plus kids on board a turn driving the tundra buggy. the latest count of the western hudson bay population reportedly puts the polar bears at about 1000 strong, meaning the bears outnumber the humans that call churchill home. for polar bears, churchill is the ultimate spot to call home. ice melts the latest in the summer, and freezes the earliest in the fall. on average there's about 80 frost free days a year here.

weeks ago. and it's one of several attacks at st. bede's church.jane sanders/parishoner i think the third or four time it's happened. the first time they decapitated the blessed mother statue. we had her repaired and they came back and did it again.and in 2015, liquid that looks like blood was poured over other statues. marcia mahogany/parishonerit's generally pretty safe especially on the school campus it's more like a family atmosphere so yeah iw as really surprised.marcia mahogany/parishonerand people are very dedicated to their faith here so when something like this happens it hurts as all.

(vo)typically humidity levels go up at night, which will be a big relief for firefighters here.they worry about relative humidity levels in the teens. that would keep stuff really dry like in the oakland hills where there was a fire early last week.fortunately, he relative humidity levels here have been between 25 and 30 percent in the areas firefighters have been

measuring.station seven up here in the hills has had crews out on patrol every couple of hours to see what they're dealing with.(sot)"you go to one location, do a couple readings, go to another location, couple readings throughout the day, and then that gives you an idea of what's going on with the wind speed, humidity, the things we need to be aware of."(vo) neither the wind speed nor the relative humidity has been horrible here.wind speeds have mostly been five to ten miles an houe with gusts of about 15 to 20 miles an hour.these firefighters have both types of gear ready - structure fire gear, and wildland fire gear. (reporter)hopefully they won't have to use either set.in berkeley, spencer blake, kron four news.

( marty ) after the break, a big day for bay area football. can the raiders keep their playoff hopes alive -- and can "jimmy g" remain undefeated for the red and gold as he faces his toughest test to date? sports is up next.

we start sports with an exciting local story. galileo high school, located here in san francisco won the 6-a division high school football championship game saturday night. congratulations to the squad who beat vincent

memorial 38 to 20 in calexico, california. they drove nine hours to get to the game. calexico is a small town on the california-mexico border...way east of san diego. galileo is the first school in san francisco to bring back this title. this picture was taken last week after one of the team's wins. congrats to the crew over at galileo. way to represent northern california. job well done boys.(jr stone) while the raiders need a miracle to make the playoffs at this point. the chiefs and chargers were fighting tonight for first place in the division. philip rivers, who's been on fire since week eleven... facing off against alex smith and kansas city at arrowhead stadium. chiefs in the redzone -- smith rolls left... finds kareen hunt for his second touchdown...

capping off a 69-yard drive... kansas city takes the lead 17-14 l-a couldn't get anything going after that... fourth down they go for it... ron parker picks off rivers. the chargers turn the ball over on four straight drives. kansas city wins 30-13... they retake control in the a-f-c west. the chiefs improbe to 8-6 and sit in first place heading to week 16 (j.r.) the golden state warriors are off tonight but will be back in action on monday in los angeles. kobe bryants jersey is actually set to be retired at that game. warriors coach steve kerr says that when kobe's jersey is lifted into the rafters on monday during hafltime, the entire warriors team will be out there watching. kerr says there's no way he would keep the team in the locker room for this one. today at practice kerr talked about it being a great experience for the players to see one of the greatest basketball players ever honored. (j.r.) we are approaching what will be a big nfl sunday football day here in the bay area. niners playing in santa clara and the raiders playing in oakland. the bad news is that raiders star wide receiver amari cooper has been ruled out and will not play when the team takes on the dallas cowboys tomorrow night. cooper reinjured his sprained ankle last week. this is a must win game for the oakland raiders. chances of a playoff birth are slim but they are still alive. raiders likely have to win out for that to happen. this is also very likely to be the last time the cowboys will take on the raiders in oakland. next time will likely be in 2021 when the team is in las vegas. as for

the san francisco 49ers...they take on the tennessee titans tomorrow afternoon at levi's stadium. all the buzz has been around new quarterback jimmy garoppolo. in jimmy g's first two starts for the 49ers he has thrown for 627 yards in two straight victories. the former patriots backup to tom brady has everyone talking about this niners team. garoppolo will face his biggest challenge tomorrow against a titans team that is 8 and 5 on the season. they are coming off a loss last week against the arizona cardinals. kickoff is set for 1:25 down in santa clara. live look outside... golden gate bridge..

(no super for 10 seconds)(no super for last 6 seconds) looking for bears and belugas in churchill ((marty on cam)) from vancouver and whistler, to quebec and montreal.. they're just a few of canada's many popular vacation spots. but how about churchill? travel enthusiast dana rebmann joins us now to explain why this fairly unknown locale should be on your must-visit list.. ((2 shot)) churchill is an unknown to most americans. in fact, it's an unknown to many canadians. but that's okay.. don't let that dissuade you. it's just another reason to visit. ((vo tape 1)) cg1=churchill, canada in all likelihood, bay area travelers are going to fly to churchill via winnipeg, in the canadian

province of manitoba. in the five-minute or so drive into town one of the first things you'll notice.. along with the lack of traffic.. is the colorful murals painted on assorted buildings. with a population of around 900, it's what you won't find in churchill that really ups its charm. no traffic lights. one gas station, one grocery store, four restaurants, and i think three bars. set along the shores of the hudson bay, it's picturesque.. and for all intents and purpose.. the easily accessible arctic. ((vo tape 2)) belugas cg2=hudson bay churchill, canada and it has a way of showing off. this stretch of hudson bay and the churchill river is home to what's said to be the world's largest population of beluga whales. from mid-june to mid-september, thousands of whales flood these waters. you can venture out on a big boat or smaller zodiac boats, you can kayak and even paddle board. unlike other types of whale watching trips, belugas,

tend to be a more social bunch and they seem to be curious about people. they're typically not shy. mother nature is never a sure bet, but if you're willing to take a chilly plunge.. ((vo tape 3)) we're talking water temperatures in july in the 40s you can snorkel with the whales. there's no guarantee. i tried twice and only got fleeting glimpses, but sea north tours had me in a fantastic wetsuit, and i would jump at the chance to do it again. ((2 shot on cam)) i have a bias for belugas, but many folks come to churchill in search of polar bears. ((vo tape 4)) polar bear jail, tundra buggy,

polar bears cg2=tundra buggy frontiers north adventures churchill is home to what's said to be the world's only polar bear jail. when it's a full house, it can hold a crowd of 28 bears, maybe a bit more if there are mothers and cubs involved. no visitors are allowed at the jail, so if you want to up your odds of seeing a polar bear, book a ride on a tundra buggy.. it's like a cross between a monster truck and a school bus. and it goes into the tundra, into the churchill wildlife management area (cwma) on established trails, to look for polar bears keeping cool along the coast. the drivers and tour leaders know the environment and are incredibly good at spotting guys like this. during the summer tundra tours last about 6 hours. frontiers north runs program geared toward traveling families, so there were many kids on my tundra buggy. we spotted this polar bear within an hour of getting started, so the day was made. the eagle, caribou, and canadian geese were icing on the cake. since we didn't have to search very hard for bears, our driver brendan,

gave the dozen plus kids on board a turn driving the tundra buggy. the latest count of the western hudson bay population reportedly puts the polar bears at about 1000 strong, meaning the bears outnumber the humans that call churchill home. for polar bears, churchill is the ultimate spot to call home. ice melts the latest in the summer, and freezes the earliest in the fall. on average there's about 80 frost free days a year here.

jedi" opens this weekend. lost in all the hoopla is the release of an animated feature hoping to lure in a fraction of the "star wars" crowd. david daniel looks at the box office expectations for both. "i've seen this raw strength only once before. it didn't scare me enough then... it does now." (nat)yes, "the force" will be strong with this one -- but how strong? there's no question whether "star wars: the last jedi" will lead the weekend box office.. only how massive its debut will be. analysts expect "episode eight" in the franchise to bring in roughly 200-million dollars in north america, which would be the top debut of the year -- but well below the 248-million "the force awakens" opened with two years ago.(nat) "there's been a mistake! nina!" "ferdinand!"there is another movie opening in wide release:

"ferdinand," based on the children's book about a bull who prefers more peaceful pursuits to fighting in the ring. families with young children -- or those who can't get into a "star wars" screening -- are expected to give "ferdinand" a 15-to-20- million-dollar opening weekend. in hollywood, i'm david daniel. adlib seven day. thats kron 4 news weekend for this saturday morning... i'm marty gonzalez. from all of us thanks for watching. join us for kron4 news weekend tomorrow morning starting at 8 o'clock ... and tonight for kron 4 news at eight.
