All right. We have been talking about our kids returning to school after the summer and with excitement comes a bit of stress to start School Health experts recommend the big tip for parents is to have an open ear and listen. Cash usually talk about school to help them comfortably open up about how they feel. Follow your instinct if your child seems to act unlike their normal selves and always keep the communication open. Another tip is to plan a shopping trip to get all the back to School Necessities ahead of time. Sometimes a shopping trip alone can create excitement for the new school year. New books, pens, backpacks. Folders. I used to love that myself. Another tip highlighted by stress. Org is to schedule your kids meeting. Sometimes its a good thing to break them out of a routine. If it allows them to relax and play outside or just go outside and be spontaneous. Just dont have anything scheduled. Welcome to the nine garcias back. Yeah welcome back. I missed you guys. Its kind of fun to watch from home. Is that okay . Sleep in . Yeah sleep until 6 a. M. I get it. No, we understand. Its funny, man. I think, you know, even though were all a bit removed from the first day of school, i remember those feelings of, like, make me see my friends again. Should i wear this outfit . I mean, that excitement is something that i think parents really do need to nurture in their children. Yeah it is. And i remember two something i was it was nerve wracking as well. So but, you know, its still its still an exciting time to head back to school, right . Yeah. So yeah, look, its been a little anxiety in my house. Yeah just, you know, like its something new to new grade, right . Yeah. Yeah you know, are my friends going to be there also once, like, once your daughter is hit middle school, its a whole new campus. Will i even know how to find the Science Building . So i think as much prep work and i know you and your wife are so good about that, talking about feeling things and getting together with their friends and having a few discussions. I love that. I cant. Why i want to see those first day pictures when they come. Students, by the way, across the bay in San Francisco here are dealing with more than just first day jitters. Unfortunately this morning, the district like so many others nationwide, is grappling with the Teacher Shortage. Ctvs Bailey Ocarroll live in the city here with how the community really is coming together on this first day to kick off a whole new school year. Bailey garcia, good morning. Its students have gone inside their classrooms at this point this morning. Its just past 9 a. M. So we did watch them get here. They were very excited. One little girl picking out her outfit. Her parents told us she wanted to have a crazy outfit, but they were excited to get back into the classroom here today. But of course, we cannot mention the first day of School Without mentioning what many parents and people all across the bay area are talking about in regards to schools starting up this fall, which is the Teacher Shortage and how thats affecting students, parents, but also where we stand here in San Francisco. Just with how big that shortage is. I do want to bring in cassandra teachers unin here in San Francisco. Cassandra how many teachers are we missing in San Francisco right now . At last check, there was 174 job openings. Still vacant, still hired for. Thats just for certificated. The teachers and classrooms. We also have an additional 170 or more of para educators. Those are classroom aides who work directly with students. What needs to be done to fill those vacancies, in your opinion . Theres multiple things that need to be happening, but the very first one is a raise, right . Were in a contract negotiation. We tried to force a deal to come together in may before the school year would have ended. That would help people decide to stay. And those that were looking to enter into the career or enter the district could be incentivized to come in. And then another one is really around whether or not this career is optional for folks that. Apologize for losing bailey carrolls report here as she is in San Francisco, students are heading back to class for the first day. Theyre across the bay in the east bay. The story is the same as Fremont Unified School district is marking its first day. Back in class, we took some video this morning for you. Admission San Jose Elementary School saw parents dropping off their children for their first day of school. We talked with one dad who was dropping off his children there in fourth grade and kindergarten. Im excited to the summer is finally back to school. Weve got the older one through. So the younger ones starting. So we kind of know whats going on. So helpful to have an older sibling, right . The children said theyre excited to see their friends again and that is what school is all about at that age. Are moving on to this story right now. A four Year Old Girl has died. Her father seriously hurt in mission bay after they were hit by a car at a busy intersection. The crash happened shortly after five last night at fourth and king streets near the caltrain station and about a block from oracle park two. There are two right turn lanes at that intersection. Well, a silver suv in the second turn. Lane was there when it struck that family. The vehicle and the driver that was involved in this incident remained on scene. The driver is cooperating with our investigation. The any impairment due to drugs or alcohol does not to be does not appear to be a factor. Well, the area was especially busy because of the time of day and because there was a giants game at oracle last night. There were also several Traffic Control officers in the area and they were able to evaluate the family first. Now, the mother was not seriously hurt physically, but the little girl and her father were taken to a hospital with life threatening injuries due to the injuries. The four year old female succumbed to her injuries and was declared deceased at the hospital. Traffic control officers who work at that intersection say drivers are usually interested in getting out of town. So theyre usually watching the traffic light, not looking at the crosswalks. Officials are not releasing information about the driver, including whether any charges will be filed. Former san jose state head, athletic trainer and Sports Medicine director scott shaw has pleaded guilty to sexual abuse of athletes. Shaw admitted to violating the civil rights of four students by touching them without their consent during physical therapy. Appointments from 2017 to 2020.

Sfgate reports that people who live in the area saw the car stuck at a construction site on golden gate avenue between fillmore and steiner streets. The car had no passengers inside. Lets get out the door here. A lot of sunshine greeting us this morning. Its a nice thing to see. Steve paulson. It is. I think after today, well start seeing more clouds rolling in low and high clouds. Were caught in between the low to the west, which was off Southern California yesterday. Its lifted northward. Its not going anywhere. In fact, if anything, i think its going to move in a little closer starting tomorrow as temps will begin to cool and drag in a lot of cloud cover on on friday, maybe some scattered showers. Still moisture streaming northward from Southern California. Southern arizona and nevada going right along the spine of the sierra into tahoe, truckee, northeast california. Shasta las and also up towards northeast northwest california as well. We have some low clouds. Most of its about gone, but theres a little bit more today than we saw yesterday. And i think its a sign of things to come. Today, though, you can see caught there in between. So everything looks good today, sunny. It could be a few high clouds, but i think overall, todays sunny, thats a pretty good activity. Yesterday it favored more south shore and also towards interstate 80. More so than 50 north. But it could easily change today. So if youre going up there, keep that in mind. Upper 90s to near 100 for a few inland today. After today, though, i think well start to ease up on on some of these warmer temps coast and bay should drop a couple of degrees today just by the mere fact that we had a little bit more of a breeze, a little bit more fog today. But so todays nice today tomorrow should be pretty good by friday though i think well cloud it up. A weekend will be kind of coming of some fog and sunny and cooler temps. What is now Tropical Storm hillary. This will be where all the focus, all the attention and all the projections between now and monday are going to be here as it moves up the coast up of baja and moves in somewhere around san diego. Most projections taken in the Southern California, the high desert, then in between tahoe and las vegas, somewhere around there, it could easily come over us as well. But these projections are all changing rapidly depending on what forecast projections you look at. If we do, if we do get the moisture, we could have some serious august rain for us or in tahoe. I mean, that would be a lot of rain for us in august. As you know, ive seen some areas in tahoe with over two and one half inches forecast. So its just a matter of sorting out the details. Its just too far away to be to give a forecast. Its more of just an outlook or a hey, look at this is really what it is. Sunny today, breezy, warm to hot inland. One more day. Temps cool down upper 90s for a few 60s 70s closer to the coast. And tomorrow well cool it off. Clouded up on friday. Your weekend looks good. Monday, tuesday could be dealing with a lot of tropical clouds. Thank you, steve.

State Officials Say hundreds of hotel rooms and Vacation Rentals are becoming available for those in week after the fires broke out, folks here say theyre frustrated with the speed of the governments response. The frustration lies with our government, not weve always had to fight what we had before over here.

Hawaii governor josh green says hes considering a moratorium on land sales. I will not be allowing anyone to build or rezone or do anything of that sort if theyve taken advantage of anyone here.

New this morning, the white house says President Biden will travel to maui on monday to meet with First Responders. Survivors as well as federal, state and local officials. Yesterday the president said that he didnt want to disrupt ongoing recovery efforts. My wife jill and i are going to travel to hawaii as soon as we can.

Ive been to too many disaster areas, but i want to go make sure we got everything they need, want to be sure we dont disrupt the ongoing recover efforts. White house says the president was told the search and recovery effort will be at a stage that allows for a president ial visit early next week amid an outpouring of support for those affected by the maui wildfires. Consumer experts are warning people to watch out for scammers who are exploiting the tragedy. Look carefully before you click on anything and when were on social media, please dont believe everything that you see. A lot of the images that we see on social are bait and switch, meaning that they want to reel you in with images, whether its wildlife or someone that may or may not have been affected. The Better Business bureau recommends looking for registered established nonprofits and says to watch out for vague requests that dont identify the intended use of funds. Pga says the wildfires on maui illustrate maui illustrate the need for Public Safety power shutoffs during severe fire weather. According to the bay area news group, pga says it once again prepared to cut the power as a precaution to prevent wildfires in california this fire season. While no cause has been determined yet for the maui wildfires. A lawsuit filed on saturday claims hawaiian electric, the power provider on maui, kept power lines electrified despite warnings of high winds in the past few days. Northern california has seen more than a dozen wildfires sparked by lightning. One fire up near the oregon boundary has exploded almost 4000 acres in size, according to the Us Forest Service. The head fire in Siskiyou County is the largest of at least 15 fires that started in the Klamath National forest. It jumped in size in just a few hours yesterday. The fires already forced evacuations in some mountain communities west of yreka. Today marks three years since lightning started the ccu lightning complex fire in the santa cruz mountains. The fire would later grow to over 86,000 acres. Was one of several large lightning caused fires in the bay area that summer. Some people in the mountains are still working to rebuild and recover from the fire. Firefighters who work for the Us Forest Service and other federal agencies are about to get a huge pay cut in 2021. They were given a raise averaging 20,000 a year. Thats about half their salary. But the increase was temporary and expires at the end of next month. Theres a proposal in congress to make the race permanent, but it faces opposition that has some members of congress very concerned that a budget is a commitment to your values. We hope that House Republicans value federal wildland firefighters, the federal Firefighters Union estimates 5000 firefighters will quit if the pay raise is not made permanent. Thats half the federal wildland firefighters, which means state, regional and local firefighting crews would have to step in when there is a fire on federal land.

Than the rest of the country. And that gun violence among people age 25 and younger has dropped significantly in california compared to other large states. Bonta says he hopes the report will help guide policy and strategy discussions related to reducing gun violence even more. Gun violence is truly americas disease unique in the world . In america, we lead on so many things across the world, proudly so. But when it comes to gun violence, we are leading the race to the bottom. We are last. We are worst. The office of gun violence prevention was launched one year ago with the help of reducing deaths and injuries from firearms in california. California lawmakerst to help cn violence. Governor newsom first proposed the addition of a 28th amendment to the Us Constitution back in june. The amendment would raise the age to purchase a gun to 21 mandate universal background checks require a waiting period for gun purchases and bans civilian purchases of assault weapons. Spare me that the solution is hardening doors and not addressing the issue, which is these weapons of war, these weapons of mass destruction. And so i want to be in a world where at least we have a chance of doing that. And i want to live in a state where we can do that. If state lawmakers passed a resolution in california, theyll need 33 other states to do the same for a convention to formally discuss it. Well note that to date, no state is successful, amended the constitution. Some people who live and work in central Contra Costa County say theyre fed up with Power Outages. Business owners from alamo to san ramon say theyve had almost 20 Power Outages already this year. Yesterday in danville, the power went out twice, once in the early afternoon and then again in the evening. They say there was no warning. Owners of Service Businesses say the outages, dont want to hurt our patients. So we just do something temporarily as much as we can with with one of our flashlights. I mean, its kind of like the stone ages. We have checks that need to be paid out. We have guests who are sitting and not sure what to do. We have a kitchen thats halfway through their tickets, cant see what theyre making. Bga says its power lines have anti Wildfire Technology that automatically shuts down power within a 10th of a second.

Were live with a look at how east bay mud is trying to combat the issue. Plus, ktvu is partnering with making strides against Breast Cancer this year. When we come back, were sitting down with some of the organizers to talk about the upcoming preparations ahead of the big walk event in a few months im orlando and im living with hiv. I dont have to worry about daily hiv pills because i switched to everyothermonth cabenuva. For adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete longacting hiv treatment you can get every other month. Its two injections from a healthcare provider. Now when i have people over, hiv pills arent on my mind. Dont receive cabenuva if youre allergic to its ingredients, or if youre taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. Serious side effects include allergic reactions, postinjection reactions, liver problems, and depression. If you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. Tell your doctor if you have liver problems or Mental Health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. Some of the most common side effects include injectionsite reactions, fever, and tiredness. If you switch to cabenuva, with everyothermonh cabenuva, im good to go. Ask your doctor about cabenuva today. Childrens first day of school. I know San Francisco. Some other districts are heading back today. Make it a great school year. Lets talk about whats happening overseas here. Bad behavior by tourists. A woman was caught on camera climbing across italys historic trevi fountain to fill her water bottle. Visitor is seen climbing across some rocks to reach the center of that 18th century landmark in rome. She then captures water coming from one of the spouts to fill the bottle. Fountain is surrounded by signs that tell people not to touch it, not to climb it, and do not use the water as a source. A guard shows up, blows the whistle, confronts her. We dont know yet if she was fined or detained, but you have to assume everybody there has a phone. I dont know if she thought she was going to get away with it or no big deal. Ive been thinking about it. Im like like, what was your what were you thinking . Im just going through my mind. Do you just not care . Right . Do you just like breaking the rules . What are you going to do with the water . What do you do with the water . Maybe she thought it was special and she was going to keep it as a souvenir, which pam pointed out earlier. You cant even bring it on the plane. Right, right, right. So, i mean, you know, people are so entitled. And now that everyone has a phone, were beginning to see that. Right . Right. Before we didnt know. But now you see theres a lot of people doing weird things is in the video. Thats right. All right. Lets move on to this story now. Happening now, work is underway to clean up trash and even abandoned cars in the watershed next to an important reservoir. Ktvu rasmus joins us live from morocco hills where east bay mud representatives say they need people to help with this problem. Ali yeah, its a big problem when it comes to people dumping illegal trash and even abandoned vehicles. We are on pinehurst road. This is in the moraga hills. You see a lot of activity next to us. This is one of three tow trucks that is out here on the side of the road. And if you follow this rappelle line about 300ft down this hillside, this embankment is an old abandoned car, is a white car, very hard to see, kind of buried between a lot of the grass and shrubbery there. But this is part of the watershed for the Upper San Leandro Reservoir. And that provides Drinking Water and the water for east bay mud customers. So when you have stuff like abandoned cars and trash and Hazardous Material in the watershed, you got to get that stuff out. And thats what the cleanup is about here this morning. East bay mud representatives say Illegal Dumping near their reservoirs has become a big problem since the pandemic last month, they did a similar cleanup around the Upper San Leandro Reservoir and removed eight abandoned cars from the area and they ended up cleaning up more than eight tons of trash. This land and this water supply is two valuable. Dont bring your trash here. This is what we drink. What we live off of. And its a complicated process to do these types of cleanups and to remove these abandoned cars. They have to coordinate east bay mud. Does with the county and other Government Agencies to partially close down the streets. So its complicated and again, expensive. In the past three years, the Water Utility has had to spend more than 200,000 just to clean up this trash. And that work is underway right now. If we take you back out here live again, you see, i dont know if we can see from up here, but there is a tow truck operator, contractor hired that is about 200ft down on the side of the road here. He has to hook a hook onto this abandoned car and then they have to hoist this thing up all the way up here to the road. And i was talking to some of the tow truck operators here and they said not only is this physically challenging work going downhill here and then climbing back up, but theres a lot of hazards like poison oak in this area. One of the tow truck operators told us the last time he did this back in july, he got poison oak. And so its not fun work. He says its not something people are chomping at the bit to do. Exactly when it comes to this type of assignment. But this work is expected to last for much of the morning. Theyre planning on removing a three abandoned cars. This is one of them. And cleaning up at least a dozen illegal trash sites near this reservoir. Live in the mariah hills, ali rasmus, ktvu fox two news. Well, one person is in the hospital after being hit by a vehicle in alameda this is happening just a short time ago on clemente avenue, not far from the alameda marina. These are live pictures from the scene of the incident. You can see the one Police Cruiser there on the scene right now. Alameda police has the intersection closed for the investigation. As you can see right here, its expected to open within the hour. We are told. And were waiting on an update on the victims condition , along with more information about the driver involved in this incident. But well keep you updated on air online. Well have an update for you at noon as well. All right. Now to this story. Us consumers seem to be shrugging off higher prices. Retail sales were up 0. 7 in july. Department stores showed a nearly 1 increase. Restaurant sales rose 1. 4 and online sales were up nearly 2. In milwaukee, President Biden touted his bid nomics, saying inflation is decreasing as wages are rising, pay for low wage workers has grown at the fastest rate in two decades. Wages are growing faster than inflation, folks, thats biodynamics. Its about growing an economy by strengthening the middle class. Some of the declines in sales in the report were at furniture stores, electronics and Appliance Stores as well. Even though october is Breast Cancer awareness month, there is a lot of activity thats about to kick off in the coming days. We here at ktv are so proud to continue our partnership with making strides against Breast Cancer in the bay area and Silicon Valley. The fundraising season begins in just days ahead of the big walks that happen this october. We welcome to the nine olivia cattaneo, the Development Associate director of making strides against Breast Cancer. Thank you for being with us. Thanks for having me. Excited to be here. Of course, there is a powerful thing that happens when you get women and men, but mostly women at these walks together to share their stories. That excitement really is palpable. Absolutely. And you know what . Were really trying to encourage more people in the community to get involved with our making strides against Breast Cancer walks. We have two walks coming up in october, on october 22nd and october 28th, one in San Francisco, one in Silicon Valley. You gave me the fundraising goals for each and theyre pretty big. Yes, absolutely. So in San Francisco, were hoping to raise 250,000. In Silicon Valley, were hoping to raise 400,000. And this will go to fund critical Breast Cancer research, as well as patient programs for people who are any aware along their cancer journey. So people can mark their calendar. Now saying this is what im doing that day. Im going to put on my tennis shoes, put on my pink, and im going to walk. What can we do starting now . Absolutely. Well, were kicking off our fundraising season right now, but you dont want to miss our walks in october, well be at crissy field on october 22nd. And california is great america. And october 28th, people could go to making strides, walk dot org slash bay area ca or slash Silicon Valley to sign up volunteer and fundraise. I have been a part of these walks over the years as a participant, as an emcee and there is a powerful something that happens. You arrive essentially a stranger as you might have a Little Friends group, but then once you start walking and talking, you leave with this empowerment of so many people who are working for the same mission. Absolutely theres nothing like gathering with your friends, your family caregivers and loved ones to support you along your cancer journey. And thats what we do with making strides against Breast Cancer. I know during the pandemic we talked a lot about women were putting off necessary screenings and many doctors said they are now seeing women for the first time in 2 or 3 years and theyre finding cancer later. If you can say a word to women in particular who need to focus on their own health, amid Everything Else we do every day. Absolutely i mean, screening and Early Detection is so critical to moving the needle when it comes to diagnosis. And, you know, in california, its estimated that this year, 30,000 new cases of Breast Cancer will be diagnosed in women. The numbers are unacceptably high, and we have to do what we can to keep moving that needle and doing what we can to prevent and detect cancer, Breast Cancer used to be something that people were shocked that a loved one had. Now, i hear from people who say, oh, my aunt is going through it. My sister just went through it. How does that change the way we see Breast Cancer . Yeah its like i said, its just increasing prevalent. And i think that due to the pandemic, many people miss their appointments and their treatment. And thats why we have making strides against Breast Cancer. Its about getting connected to the community, raising awareness and of course, raising critical funds for the mission. So yeah, im assuming that working for an organization like making strides, perhaps you and i have something in similar in that we have good jobs, we have health insurance, we have sick days. Even with all that dealing with the Breast Cancer diagnosis can be burdensome. And then i think about what about the women who dont have all these benefits . Absolutely see, the Health Disparities still exist. And Breast Cancer is one of the most common diagnosed cancer in women. Second only to skin cancer. So our ability through these making strides walks to raise awareness and provide funding for critical programs as well, like free rides to treatment or a Supportive Community of Breast Cancer survivors and People Living with metastatic Breast Cancer. The funds raised through making strides will go to support those communities and help to minimize the Health Disparities making a difference and possibly saving lives. Absolutely. All right. I hope to talk with you before the big walks in october. Yes join us on october 22nd at crissy field in october 28th in californias great america, go to making strides, walk. Org to learn more. Okay, perfect. Olivia, thank you for joining us. Thank you, sal. All right. Thank you both.
