Effect. And heres whats different about this program. It expands the range of people who can file a petition for someone to get Mental Health help, not only family members can petition now, but also First Responders who may encounter someone on our streets. San francisco is gearing up to bring Mental Health care treatment into court. A care court is really an opportunity me to support individuals with untreated Mental Illness in the community and provide Community Based treatment so individuals can file petitions directly with the court. And care court allows for a wide range of petitioners, including First Responder hours family members, somebody who lives with an individual whos worried about them. And those can get filed directly with the court. San franciscos department of Public Health says this program will help them to tackle Mental Health differently, with potentially thousands on our streets qualifying when we look at the program, one of the criteria that somebody has to be suffering from a schizophr spectrum diagnosis. And when we look at a population estimate, our best range estimate right now is that roughly 1 to 2000 people in San Francisco may meet criteria. Heres why care court is controversial. Even though participation in the program is voluntary, judges have the last say. The San Francisco Public Defenders Office is preparing now to represent many in court. Its voluntary in that the court cannot force you to take medications or put you into a locked facility, but youre still having to come to court. The courts still going to order a treatment plan for you. So theres that aspect of it that makes it somewhat coercive. Also if youre not successful in care court, it can actually be used in future proceedings to put you into a locked facility and conserve you, make you a conserved person. The Mental Health association of San Francisco opposes care court, citing not enough resources to help everyone in need. 75 of folks who are approached who have serious Mental Illness about assisted outpatient treatment are more than willing to participate in some type of assisted outpatient treat and forced forced treatment is basically taking folks severely liberties away and forcing them to do things they may not understand. And San Francisco has about 2500 Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Treatment beds and is adding more Mental Health advocates say thats not enough. And by the way, we should start seeing the impact of care court on our streets in the coming months. According to the San Francisco department of Public Health, it can take about four months from filing a petition to getting it in front of a judge. In the newsroom, luis pena, abc seven news. Luis, what are the consequences if San Francisco or say, any other county is unable to provide adequate resources as well . Karina there will be legal consequences under care court. Judges can fined cities and counties if they dont provide the necessary help and beds for people in need. The department of Public Health here in San Francisco said they are ready to help as many people as possible who qualify under a care court. So we will have to wait and see. All right, luis, thank you. A new plan in San Francisco to help drug addicts is getting pushback. The proposal by mayor london breed would require screening and treatment for drug use before people can get cash assistance. The board of supervisors has to approve the plan before it can take action and take effect. Abc seven News Reporter Tara Campbell hit the streets for reaction. Even markelle eugene raybon calls this spot in San Franciscos Mission District home, at least for now. I live on the streets and im still worried about street life every day, and he says. Mayor london breeds announcement tuesday is adding to his concern. No more anything goes without accountability. No more handouts without accountability. Right now in San Francisco, more than 5000 homeless or formerly Homeless People are getting nearly 700 a month in welfare. And the mayor wants to make it so people have to pass a drug test in order to get a check. So in order to get resources from our city, you will need to be in a Substance Use Disorder Program and consistently seeking treatment. I think that everyone is concerned about the number of Overdose Deaths and everyone is trying really hard to find solutions. This is not a good one. Lydia brownstein is the executive director of the gubbio project, a nonprofit providing everything from medical services to a place to sleep. Stability reduces drug use, instability, increases drug use, taking away peoples vital money that they use to purchase the things that they need to survive will create more instability, brownstein says. They provide a lot of those necessities here, but is worried they wont be able to keep up. Any time you take away someones resources, its not that their need goes away, its just the resources for those things have gone away without having programs like this. Were going to stand to lose. A lot of people. People go back to jail. Recidivism rates, you know, it just trickles downward. But the city points to its recent survey showing more than half of unhoused people self disclosed having a Substance Use disorder. Some may test clean, some may test dirty. For myself, i cant give you an answer because i go days and i dont. I go days and i dont. Honest i hope that people wouldnt be putting the place where they dont get to have the benefits they need to survive and put them in a worse situation in the condition. Tara campbell, abc seven news.

Major progress has been made toward the rebuilding of anderson dam in morgan hill. The rebuilding has been a main focus for valley water officials. As abc seven news south bay reporter zach fuentes has been tracking the work. Thats just some of the work that contractors for valley water have done, excavating more than 800ft of the more than 1700 feet plans for a tunnel next to anderson dam. The dam and its reservoir, one of the largest sources of water for Santa Clara County. Created to bring water to more than 2 Million People is a major project for the public. A lot of people dont think about what goes into delivering safe, clean water to their households, but there is a lot and this is, you know, our number one priority right now. The dam was drained after valley water was ordered to rebuild it to meet modern safety standards. But before they can do that, the 20 foot wide tunnel has to be finished. Were finishing our tunnel project first. Next we go to the seismic retrofit, which is the mandate from the state of california. Thats when we actually bring down the dam and retrofit the dam. Valley water says the tunnel will let them release more water faster and safer during major storms or emergencies that could help avoid the floods like the one san jose saw in 2017 when the dam went above capacity. Workers have been drilling for the tunnel since november of 2022, and by the end of this summer they finished almost half in september. They used the help of this controlled blasting to take their work even further. Project manager Ryan Mcarthur breaks down what all of those flashing explosions are, and those are the fuzes or the delays as those are sending a charge into the rock. And so theres a hole drilled about 6 to 8ft in with a charge at the end of it. And then youll hear a rumble, you know, and thats really the explosives going off and the rock coming tumbling down. And that that Cross Section of the face that you see once all of the excavation is finished, crews will go back through and build a two foot thick, reinforced concrete lining inside the tunnel where were at now. Were were on on time to complete the construction. We need to before we start the retrofit of the dam itself. That project is set to start in 2025. And last seven years in the south bay.

October first is National Latino physician day. Its a day cofounded by a bay area doctor in order to raise awareness about the disproportionately low numbers of latino physicians. Abc7 news south bay reporter Dustin Dorsey has more on why representing ocean matters when it comes to health care. Celebrating hispanic heritage also means highlighting the changes the Community Wants to see to better their culture. And doctors at Santa Clara Valley health care are calling for a change in the number of latino physicians, an amount they say is much too low. While 20 of our population in Santa Clara County identifies as latino, the overwhelming majority of our patients here in this hospital, more than 50, identify as latina. Yet only about 5 of our physicians do. We can do better. And this struggle is felt at a national and state level with 39 of californias latino population only amounting to 6 of the states physician and 8 of medical School Graduates in 2021. These Health Care Workers now celebrate National Latina physicians day on october first to bring awareness to these statistics and deliver a call to action to do better. We are done being passive of this is a physician shortage crisis. The concern these physicians have is that with any relationship a doctor patient bond requires a certain amount of trust in order to work properly. Without that trust, people dont feel safe seeking care. Santa clara Valley Health cares doctor, rachel ruiz, says that lack of trust fuels health disparities. Theres so much fear and anxiety youre worried about what the doctor is going to say. Blood pressure. Youre worried about judgment. Youre worried about so many things. And to have someone that can relate really helps bring those guardrails down. This group says awareness on a day like National Latina physicians day is just the start. They want the next step to be building the pipeline in schools from a young age to help. The tides and make a difference. Our Health Care Systems should make a concerted effort to provide Early Opportunities for volunteer training, interning and working within our Health System to the community we serve.

Com three targets targeted to close stores in San Francisco, oakland and pittsburgh are all scheduled to shut down within the next month. Target blames retail theft as the reason these stores, as well as six others across the country, are closing. Now, the closures will inconvenience a lot of people, but for others, its a really bigger deal. Thats right, especially for people who rely on these stores, for the pharmacies that are inside. Abc seven News Reporter unser hassan looks into. Some of the challenges. This target near downtown oakland is set to close by midoctober. Im sad what about the seniors . I do at home care and she lives right here, not too far. And i come and take care of all her business prescriptions. Everything here, groceries right now. Helen walton says filling the prescriptions will be the hard part. There arent many other options within walking distance as posted at the closest cvs pharmacy is a mile away. Its going to be good. Its going to be okay. You figure it out. Were going to figure it out. Like they say, everybody google everything. So maybe were going to google this. Target says retail theft is the main reason behind this decision to close. Three bay area stores, including one in San Francisco and the other in pittsburgh. If a theft is a big problem in a in a neighborhood, that can be the difference between a profit and a loss. Robert chapman wood is professor of management at san jose state university. He says Discount Drug stores are facing other pressures as well. The pharmacy business has gotten has been going through changes is which are not very transparent to ordinary people. So a lot of more pharmacy is pharmaceutical fulfillment is being done in by pharmacy benefit managers. Usually controlled by the insurance company. According to professor wood, that means Insurance Companies are filling prescriptions by mail, which could prove to be more profitable. He doesnt know how that may be impacting the current target cvs partnership, but he believes its putting pressure on large Discount Drug stores. The Insurance Companies trying to do the fulfillment themselves, that that can be a big problem for the pharmaceutical, for the drugstore business. We live in corporate america. Right . So ultimately, everything is driven by a profit motive. Business professor Balaraman Rajan at cal state east bay says target cant be faulted for closing, since its primary responsibility is to stakeholders. He adds. But in a city like oakland, facing rising crime and increasing store closures, the pressure falls on the city to do more, such as managing the decreasing number of pharmacies. The city can try and take action so that it is more welcoming to these corporates, more welcoming to these retailers, because ultimately, if there are no facilities out there, you wont have a thriving population there. So it is all connected in oakland. Abc7 news. Were closing in fast now on the saturday night deadline to keep the government funded. Congress has just a few more days to make a deal and avert a shutdown. House speaker Kevin Mccarthy says he plans to hold votes in the coming days, but there likely wont be enough to pass. Abc News Reporter liz landers has the latest from washington. A Government Shutdown is looking likely to occur saturday at midnight as House Republicans fight among themselves over a series of spending bills. But speaker Kevin Mccarthy trying to pin any potential shutdown on Border Security and President Biden, were doing our job. So what does the president have to do with that . If he wants to sit and hide in the white house and put government into a shutdown, thats on him. House democrats countering that a shutdown would be a bad move since federal Law Enforcement officers stationed at the border would be working without pay. We absolutely support Border Security. Thats why we want to fund the government. Any Government Spending bills will have to also pass in the senate and democrats and republicans in the Upper Chamber have largely come together on a bipartisan proposal to keep the government funded until november 17th, plus provides 6 billion in aid to ukraine and 6 billion for us disaster relief. But in the house, republicans have tried every thing but bipartisanship. We can take the Standard Approach and fund the government for six weeks, or we can shut the government down in exchange for a zero meaningful progress on policy. But some House Republicans say that legislation is pointless and this government should not continue to be funding funded. If we dont secure our border. A potential shutdown could impact millions of federal workers, including the transportation and Security Administration agents keeping air travel safe. Tsa employees do not call out sick or cause the government shut down. They some just not able to afford gas, pay their car insurance, gas and make difficult choices.

Were only in the first few days of fall, but an el nino winter is headed our way. Climate Scientists Say it could upend our already mild Winter Weather expectations. All across the country. Reporter mike valerio has a breakdown of what may be in store for us this year. Scientists are watching a rapidly developing and strengthening el nino event. Its a natural climate pattern. Typically every 2 to 7 years, bringing warmer than average sea surface temperatures to the equatorial pacific ocean. That warming can influence our Winter Weather. The effects of el nino are pretty pronounced across a lot of the continent, and really a lot of the world. Dr. Daniel swain, a ucla climate scientist, explains that el nino is not just a pacific story. The phenomena on typically leads to warmer and drier conditions in northern sections of the us, with cooler and wetter weather across southern stretches of the country. After california endured a winter of relentless Atmospheric River systems. El nino likely means more winter storms this coming january through march could be on the way. I think there is a tilt in the odds towards a wetter than average winter, especially in southern and Central California , as well as other parts of the interior southwestern us. Dr. Swain adds. El nino could mean an unusually dry winter in the Pacific Northwest and hawaii , where weve seen wildfires like the devastation in august in la nina. But a curveball in this years el nino predictions. How the abnormally warm water across the rest of the worlds oceans could change. How el nino in impacts us. The Global Oceans outside of the el nino zone in the tropics are also extremely warm. And so that combination is something we havent seen before. Im mike valerio reporting. Do you want to fly to europe on one of those lay flat seats . Of course you do. Its just too expensive. Way too expensive. Unless you know the tricks im going to teach you tonight.

Hello to more ways to save money, grow your wealth, grow your business. Just what we needed, another big bank. Not so fast. How many banks do you know that reward you for saving every month . Hes got a good point. Did i mention bmo has more feefree atms than the two largest us banks combined . Uh, bmo . Just beemo, actually.

Prices topping 94 a barrel, as well as high bond yields and the threat of a Government Shutdown. Here are the closing numbers. The dow fell by 68 points. The nasdaq was up 29. And the s p ended flat for flier miles and credit card points are worth maybe about a penny each. But if you know how to work the system, you can turn those pennies into dollars dollars seven on your sides. Michael finney joins us now with one of the brightest minds in the points, miles, world that you talk to you. But i thought it was you. Well, thank you. Ive done okay. As i was just telling you, ive done pretty good. Once i had enough miles on American Airlines for two round trip flights to london, i transferred those points to americas one World Alliance partner, british air. And then i got four tickets for the exact same amount of miles and i flew on American Airlines. I think thats pretty good. Thats pretty good. Well, this guy makes me look like an amateur. This is steven o of al. Points and awards consults services. Alpax his business books, points and miles travel. Weve increased. We had to resort to using clever technique to try to book these flights with points and clever. He is. He basically will play matchmaker. Getting you there and getting you back and getting there for the least amount of points. Joe pirelli is a customer. So is kevin kent. Hes probably booked 6 or 7 International Flights for me and theyve all been perfect. Hes a very good at what he does and what he does is find great deals, then finds a way for your points and miles to get that deal. Something that weve, you know, deployed recently increasingly is to Book Business class flights to europe, operated on an airline Like British Airways through to another intermediate Airline Partner such as cathay pacific. Let me show you what that looks like so you can do it yourself. You trade 61,000 capital one points for 61,000. Cathay pacific miles, which can then be used through the oneWorld Alliance to book a British Airways Business Class ticket. Your cost 61,000 points, which steven estimates to be worth 610. Taxes and fees are 300 for a total of 910 for a ticket worth 4,000 or more. Pretty slick, huh . How charges 200 a month paid up front for a year. So you really do need to rack up some miles to make it worth your while. But you can do it yourself. Finally, another piece of advice steven says points tend to be better than miles because there are more ways to move them around in that universe. Fascinating. Never thought to move them around 3 or 4 times like i know. I know. You think just once. Yeah. Amazing slick. Yeah. Slick. Fascinating. All right. Thanks, michael.

And then its time to take a shot at the pyramid. Its been nope, nope, nope. Michael strahan returns to host season seven of the 100,000 pyramid. The celebrity guests are bigger than ever. Like comedian tiffany haddish. And for michael, that means his job doesnt really feel like work. Like when im laughing, its real because i sometimes i cant believe what people are saying. Not chocolate, but vanilla. There we go. I dont mess with vanilla. So ha im a guest at the cocktail party. Be honest with you. And i just. I love seeing these celebrities come together with a contestant and someone who thought they would probably never meet a celebrity like this. And in this context and just watching them have to Work Together to win money. Strahan says for him, when they do win the money for themselves or to give to others, thats the magic. Those are the type of things that make you realize its fun. Its a game show. So thats the number one thing. But its also something that can really change somebodys life for the positive. And thats like the gravy on top in los angeles. George pennacchio, abc seven news. Some good game shows on. Would you go on one, diane . I would actually. I do terribly but id go, yeah, itd be fun. Yeah, you did it, right . Of course. All right, lets turn our attention back to the weather forecast. Sandy is here with that. Yeah, and karina and dan, we have some nice weather out there. Lets take a look at the air quality. It is pretty much green for most areas. Ukiah and oakland are moderate. Still safe to be outside. A live view from our san Jose Santa Cruz camera excuse me. Look at how gorgeous that is as the sun is getting ready to set. Good air quality. The next four days so we dont have to worry about any smoky skies on live doppler seven. You will notice pretty quiet conditions. We do have some low clouds. Regroup for tomorrow afternoon. Well call it breezy again. Mild to warm weather with plenty of sun mid 60s to the upper 80s. But i hope you dont get too used to it because friday the cooling begins. Look at the drop off in the temperatures. I mean, over the weekend were only going to be in the low 60s to low 70s sunday. Temperatures recover a little bit, but as you look at the accuweather seven day forecast, it does feature the possibility of some wet weather on saturday. Certainly much cooler conditions and gusty winds below average for the second half of your weekend before where we will notice the warmth comes back into the picture. Dan and corina, very nice. Yeah. All right, lets talk about sports now with casey prep. Yeah casey wnba, were talking. Yeah. Perhaps the wnba is coming to the bay area. And by the way, how awesome is that . I know. Gorgeous. Wow. Wnba to San Francisco. Not so fast though. Ill explain. In oaklands own Damian Lillard finally finds a home in a blockbuster trade. Well tell you why a hint during all star weekend could have tipped us off the prawns are delicious. Oh, i have a shellfish allergy. One prawn. Very good. Did i say chicken wrong . Tired of people not listening to what you want . Its truffle season ah thats okay. Never enough truffles. How much are they . Its a lot. Oh okay im good, that its like a priceless piece of art. Enjoy. Or when they sell you what they want . Yeah. The more we understand you, the better we can help you. Thats what u. S. Bank is for. Huge relief. Yeah. Well, thats going to be a problem for my team. And today, a lot of teams in the east have reason for concern. Nba superstar and oakland native Damian Lillard is on the move to milwaukee in a mega deal that included three teams, eight players and a draft pick. Notably, the portland trail blazers received jrue holiday and Deandre Ayton in the deal. Lillard is a seven time all star and requested a trade back in july. And if this move came as a surprise to you, it may not have been a surprise to Giannis Antetokounmpo who perhaps dropped an easter egg during the all star draft last year when he picked lillard over his now former teammate holiday my first pick gonna be Damian Lillard. Giannis has changed this weekend i think so too you know he always talks about loyalty so i knew for sure his first pick was going to be jrue so i dont know whats going on with yall. Okay okay. You messed my whole draft board up now im sure the win. Oh, sure. Seems like giannis knew something. Meanwhile the warriors have added forward rudy gay he gets a nonguaranteed one year contract. The 37 year old will get a chance to win a roster spot in camp, but he could be a great fit for this team, providing some scoring in their second unit. And last night the athletic reported that the wnba could be coming to the bay area and obviously all roads to pro basketball run through the warriors. But joe lacobs bid isnt the only one out there. Former nba all star alana beard has some big time backers trying to lure the sport to oakland. And i hear her beard is coming very soon. So the wnba will have a choice to make go with one of their former stars or one of the leagues top owners. Either way, it seems that a new sports franchise in the bay area is imminent. Lacobs plan would be for the warriors to train at the former practice facility in oakland and play at chase center. Beards plan would be for the team to play at oakland arena. Maybe the two groups can unite. And its a trap. Its a trap. Thats what 40 niners coaches are probably telling the guys in the locker room. Did i wake everyone up on set . They face the one win cardinals before a big showdown. The following week. They take on the dallas cowboys. But anything can happen on any given sunday and you cant look past opponents. Its a lesson the cowboys learned last week when they were upset by those lowly cardinals themselves at three and oh, the 49 ers are off to their best start since 2019 when they went to the super bowl. But you cant take Division Opponents lightly. All you have to do is watch the two games before that. Also they had every chance to win versus washington in week one. I believe that they should have and they i think that i forget the exact score, but i want to say it was like 27 to 7 in the Third Quarter versus the giants. And theyd every chance, every chance to win that. And it got away from him at the end. And dallas was very similar, but they didnt turn it over there at the end and they kept finishing and keeping out of the red zone and ended up not being close. So theyre really committed to the run, trying not to give up explosives and keep guys out of the end zone on defense. And hes not turning it over their team that really should be three. And oh, right now and Damian Lillard no shot in the sunset of his career you guys he scored over 70 points in a game hes one of the games brightest stars and not only did he get traded today, he had a rap track ready to go called farewell that dropped right after the news came out. So Damian Lillard, one of the most skilled guys in the nba and in oakland native we got a root for that guy. Excellent. Yes sure do. Thanks, casey.
