Trigger finger is itchy. Nbcs Damian Trujillo at newark memorial hospital. Damian, these posts leaving a lot of parents very, very angry. Reporter they really are. And you know what, so far, this morning, no comment to us from the district on this issue. We do understand that the teacher in question, kris la hodgeses, was reprimanded for those tweets, but she remains a teacher here at the high school here, Newark Memorial High School in the city of newark if tweets were actually posted before the end of the school year. Some parents found the posts insulting. One post allegedly also insinuated hodges wants to dump hot coffee on some of her students. Hodges told the newspaper she realizes she acted unprofessionally, but that she is a popular teacher with the students. Well, that popularity might be waning as word of the twitter posts spread to the parents this morning. I have a student here. He was expelled when he was a freshman for saying something to a teacher. They kicked him out of school. So now this is going on with this teacher, and i dont feel that its acceptable, okay . I feel that she should receive the same punishment he did. Get expelled from the district. Reporter the district, again, is not talking this morning about the posts, but parents sure have a lot to say.

Reporter yeah. You would think that after four days, residents here have been through enough. But take a look at this video we shot just a couple of hours ago. A new sinkhole has popped up in napa on kensington circle near scenic drive. Its a neighborhood called browns valley. The gaping hole popped up just this morning. As with other sinkholes in the area, this could have been caused by a water main break, which was likely caused by the earthquake. Police roped off the areas, so cars wouldnt drive over it. The resident who reported it noticed something was wrong when she got up. We tried to turn the water on, it wasnt working, we came outside to look around, because the area got hit pretty hard, and the road, you could see the road had shifted. Reporter its unclear how long this neighborhood will have no water. You can imagine that repair crews have been busy since the earthquake. Nearby areas went without water for three days.

We have had calls and deliveries from other food banks, allowing us to have additional food supply. Reporter kelly greenmeyer is thankful for peoples generosity. The earthquake victim was able to fill her cars trunk with groceries from the food bank today. She couldnt afford to replace the food she lostw when the earthquake cut off her electricity. The earthquake messed up our refrigerator and we lost everything in the freezer and everything that was in the refrigerator. You know, if you cant keep it cold, then, what are you supposed to do . Reporter Area Charities were also helped by the California Department of education, which shipped more than two tons of usda foods, specifically for napas earthquake victims. Im grateful for this place. Reporter well, the only thing missing from this food bank is eggs. Several Grocery Stores are apparently also short on eggs. There must have been some sort of a run after the earthquake on eggs to create this shortage. Nannette, thank you. A san diego couple leaned on their friends and family to pull off their dream wedding in napa this past weekend.

Wedding guests set up the tables and chairs for the ceremony. They also stepped in when the caterer couldnt provide food. None of those things really matter.
