Awaying me and allowing know have this occasion to express my thoughts and feelings about gus. Most of you or many of you. But i feel like i have known him for a lifetime in listening to his children, everything i thought and am about to say, they have confirmed. I have only known gus for about four years. Had an occasion to hold a reception in my home before my good friend, supervisor hannigan about four years ago. Gus and sandra came to that reception. Though i had known sandra because she is everpresent at every event in the city of vallejo that has to do with community involvement, helping children reaching the needy and doing whatever she can, i had never met gus. Gus came into my house. That is the mayor of vallejo speaking of the void left behind, speaking about gus and his wife. We know he was such a family man survived by his wife, ten children, 20 grandchild and the only thing that the 15year veteran loved more than being an officer was being a father. Some of those spoke. Lets listen to that. Been a way i have been thinking of you music filled the richmond Memorial Auditorium as family and friends and fellow officers paid tribute to officer Augustine Gus vegas. He was a Police Officer who took a real peacemaking approach to his job. Peacemaking. Simply put, as a way of thinking and acting that emphasized mercy and compassion. Today there are no words to proclaim how awesome and how honored we feel, have known and loved gus vegas. He never know frequented to tell us how much he loved us and how product of us he was. Hearing from the emotional colleagues and mourners watched a Video Tribute with pictures of gus vegas at work and with his family. The family has said they think he is looking down and smiling at the outlove of love and support. We have a report on the ground and Amy Hollyfield spoke with people as they arrived and joins us. Amy . Yes, the entire Richmond Police department is here and the officers are very solemn. You can tell they adored this man. They are very appreciative for all the community support. We heard many officers saying, thank you for being here as they greeted people here 59 the service. The richmond officer stood at attention as the coffin arrived at the richmond Memorial Auditorium lining the sidewalk leading into the building and gus vegas widow and others walked in behind the casket. We have seen officers if san jose and vallejo here, not so manies you usually see at an officer funeral and not so far away he was not killed while on cut but shot in his home during a domestic dispute those who are here say that they want to on his service as a Police Officer. Officer gus vegas was trying to intervene in a Domestic Violence situation. In essence he was placing himself on duty. That is how we are all looking at it. Gus is a great guy, great officer and we want to honor him. This is the way to do it. I have officers in Law Enforcement in my family and i pray they are safe but when you lose your life in your home that is even sadder. I kneed to be here. I dont know his family but i needed to be here because i knew him. Video knew him from working the streets in richmond. The Richmond Fire Department honored him with a huge American Flag hanging from two ladder trucks and all calls are being handled are for the Police Department department so the officers could be here to honor gus vegas who worked as liver for 15 years as a Police Officer for 15 years. Thank you. The memorial for officer gus vegas started in vallejo this morning.

The commute home could be quicker today, two express lanes on eastbound 580 are now open and the question is, are people willing to pay for an easier ride home . Matt keller has what we can expect. Matt . Move smithing on eastbound 580 through livermore and of course this is the counter commute hours during the Morning Hours and no real reason to use the express lanes but this afternoon, get your new fast track ready if you want to avoid the backup. That is a reality on 580 in livermore, parked in the fast lane. But two new express lanes on the eastbound side law dublin and leften and livermore just opened this morning for car pools and solo drivers who want to pay. It is usually pretty bad. You would be willing to pay . Yes. A new express lane opens on the westbound side on monday morning. You must have your fast track flex tag to use the express lanes between 5 00 a. M. And 8 0 p. M. It is new and allows you to designate if you drive by yourself or as a car pool. Car pool drivers can use the express lanes for free. The highest charge for a solo driver is 136789 we saw prices as low as 30 cents this morning. You are willing to pay . To get through the commute . [ inaudible ] why not . C. H. P. Said play by the rules because the officers can tell what your fast tram is set for and switching to a solo ride while they pull you over will not work. If you get the fast track tickets you are going do fay more than just getting fast track. Getting caught cheating in the express lane is costly. In alameda county, it is 500 fine. Thank you, matt.

The lead edge right now is heading over the richmondsan rafael bridge and headed to the bay bridge toll plaza. We will look at the darker greens moving through and the culprit, the cold front, when it moves through, that is it, all the shower activity you can see up here, usually we expect that to come down and bring us thunderstorms like we had yesterday and the day before but this time it is giving to stay to the north and bring more snow to the sierra. This is how it looks from the east bay hills camera you can see the rain falling from the clouds, breezes and light showers, they will taper as we head into the evening hours and they will begin the extended period of dry weather, with warmerthanaverage highs and the records will come close but not likely. Now, the storm impact scale, we have not had a 5 or a 4 which is good and the most damaging and this is a 1 light, because the rain is less than quarterinch and the breezes will taper this afternoon, and the surf that was dangerous early this morning now it is all but over so when it is warm this weekend you can go to the coast and enjoy. At noon you can see the solid line moving slowly through the north bay and lieu how any yellows disappear, out how the n is fragmented at 4 00, and by 7 00 this model, everything is gone but for maybe some in the santa cruz and east bay hills if you are headed out this, you could need the umbrella to start and you will not need it at the end. Look the a rainfall amounts, barely. 2 in santa rosa and just a bit in oakland nearly zero but down. 0 2 at the sure line and the south beltway. A weekend system. Only 24 of snow to the sierra from 2 00 to 8 00 but it could cause issues down to 5,000 so have the chains. Now the Chinese New Year parade is tomorrow in San Francisco starting at 5 15.
