We found plenty of students at bishop Odell High School voicing their frustration with the diocese. They worry they could lose good teachers over the contract. The contract says educators need to Practice Church teaches in their personal lives. Many of the teachers arent catholic. And they worry they could lose their jobs for using contraception, having premarital sex or being homosexual. Students say the church crossed the line. There are a lot of teachers i know who are maybe leaving because of it and it yeah, its sad. They should have a right to privacy. And they should have to have their own personal lives without having their jobs depend on it. If this goes through and teachers are fired, we will be looking for another school for our daughter. Reporter many parents are outraged. They join assemblywoman Nancy Skinner this morning to ask the church to back off.

This is one of the spots here. San Pablo Reservoir a beautiful friday night warmer weather starting sunday. Back to you in the studio. Thank you. Only on 5, we uncover a growing new industry.

Reporter a you are just 2 yearold with unusual beginnings. He is a taiwanese boy deliberately born in the u. S. Just like his older brother. [ nonenglish language ] indeed worried and afraid but the doctor and nurse were all chinese speakers so i could communicate with them in chinese. Reporter his parents told us from videophone by taiwan why they wanted their children born here. The kid is a u. S. Citizen then he can get the education in the u. S. And as well as to get the benefits that a u. S. Citizen can get. Thats why we decided to do it. Reporter they are part of a growing number of expectant couples who come to america to grab that prize, instant u. S. Citizenship for their baby. It is a rite guaranteed a right guaranteed in the 14th amendment of the constitution but some say its exploited in whats become a birth tourism industry. Dozens of chinese agencies advertise package deals costing upwards of 30,000. Thats a pretty outrageous fee. Those are fees that people pay smugglers along the u. S. mexico border. I think that those folks are being taken advantage of. Reporter but chinese couples who can afford it believe they are taking advantage of a Better Future for their children. By buying a fourmonth stay in a maternity house, they get a bedroom and a singlefamily home shared by other pregnant women. All meals and transportation to the doctors and hospitals are included. After birthed, the baby goes after birth, the baby goes home to china with an american passport. Whats not included, the plane tickets, the tourist visa to the united states, doctors and hospital fees, which could mean thousands of dollars more in cash because foreign visitors dont have medical insurance. Maternity boarding homes in Southern California drew protests from families who did not want businesses in their neighborhoods. That pushed some homes north to the bay area. Here in san jose, one of these women who did not want to be identified said the animosity does not discourage her. A lot of reasons for me to give birth in the u. S. , one is the environment in china was not so good. Reporter they are investing in a future that promises freedom, top schools and success. As one website promises, your child could be the founder of the next hightech company just like apple. In San Francisco, linda yee, kpix 5. The businesses are supposed to apply for conditional use permits and that requires public hearings. San jose city councilman chu told linda he was unaware of the homes existed in his city. Now he is looking at possible new laws to govern them. Coming up in our next half hour, maybe not the place that comes to mind when you first think Tourist Destination. Tonight, how a bay area city is trying to tempt tourists. We may be in a drought now. But tonight the clues were headed toward a super soaker of a season. There was so much stonewalling that here we are frustrated. And frustration that lasted for months.

Now at 6 30 still struggling to recover from bankruptcy tonight a bay area city not known as a Tourist Destination is ramping up its efforts to tempt tourists. Kpix 5 reporter ryan takeo is in vallejo with how its trying to draw people from all over the world. Ryan. Reporter and the state is now buying ads across the world right now trying to promote california tourism in 13 countries, and vallejo hopes to ride the wave of visitors coming from San Francisco and get them to stay here. It seems like its starting to work and the city sees an even bigger way to cash in. We feed off of the business that comes to San Francisco. Reporter mike browne of visit vallejo isnt shy about it. He wants to tap into San Franciscos international travelers. How can we get them to use the ferry more to come over here . Reporter in another part of the plan, visit vallejo goes to International Tourism conferences and estimates that brought in 200,000 last year. Visit vallejo touts landmarks like mare island, thrills at six flags discovery kingdom, and its proximity to wine country. Thats why last year, hotel stays were up 36 . Locals were shocked. Its just not a place where people come to visit. Not like that. Reporter she says the city is not a vacation destination to her or many others around here. When people talk about vallejo, they just doesnt talk about oh, im going to go visit vallejo because they have a lot of stuff as to do there. Its sad because they are not getting out to really feel whats going on in vallejo. Reporter thats what browne says he is up against locally. Visit vallejo is working on branding itself more consistently to defy the reputation of the citys crime and bankruptcy. Vallejo is a great place. Dont let, you know, past things mar your opinion of vallejo. Reporter the tough part is how to get the money to try and get that message out. The visit vallejo folks are 75,000 short in their branding budget. It will either try to get a grant or ask to include in a money in this years city budget. Live in vallejo, im ryan takeo, kpix 5. A hotel tax brought in 1. 5 million to vallejo just last year alone. Its blowing into california like a pacific storm. Talk of el nino which a lot of people think could bring some drought relief. But as kpix 5 meteorologist paul deanno explains this is probably something you dont want to bet on. Paul. Reporter yeah. This is not a betting proposition here. Heres what we know. We know the last three winters including the one were wrapping up right now the rainy season hasnt been that rainy and we need a lot more water like the water thats behind me in the San Pablo Reservoir. You may have heard that theres the chance of a very strong el nino coming this winter. But before you write off the drought. Were going to go el nino myth busting. I would love to say el nino is coming, drought is over. Reporter but this meteorologist knows its not that simple. There is not a simple answer with el nino. Reporter at stanford university, researcher daniel swain explains it another way. Even if all the cards look like they are aligned in your favor, things can still go wrong. Reporter myth number one. We are going to have an el nino winter. Well, maybe. We are seeing this push of warm water and its moving eastward. Reporter but while there is strong evidence that an el nino is developing, we wont know for sure until it actually happens. You know, the odds are better, but they arent absolute. Reporter which brings to us myth no. 2 an el nino guarantees a wet winter. Theres no guarantee that its going to be a wet winter nene that instance. Reporter it is important to remember that not every el nino is like the monster of 97 and 98. These things come in different shapes and size. They get categorized as weak, moderate and strong. Reporter and a weak el nino probably means weak rainfall. We look at just the weak el ninos, were below normal for most of northern and central california. Reporter truth is, even some of the stronger el nino patterns dont affect our weather. Weve also had strong el ninos which did not bring heavy rain to california. We had below normal rainfall. Unless we get a really strong el nino, its not entirely clear what that means for precipitation in california. Reporter and that brings us to the final myth. A wet winter would end the drought. Our current precipitation deficits are so large, it would probably take a couple of consecutive wet winters to erase those major rainfall deficits that we already have here in california. We are just not able to say el nino equals end of drought. Reporter paul deanno, kpix 5. Torrential downpours and winds near 70 Miles Per Hour pounding parts of the country. The storm system stretched from texas to michigan. Trees fell on cars, buildings collapsed. And several tornadoes touched down in minnesota. No deaths reported.

Reporter last december, when ingrid and paschal set out to cancel the group comcast account for the group Homeowners Association they never imagined it would take months. There was so much stonewalling that here we are frustrated. Reporter the problem, the comcast contract was signed nearly 30 years ago and no one currently living in the building had a copy or even knew where to find it. And to make matters worse, comcast said it couldnt negotiate with paschal or anyone else currently in the building because it needed the original signer. I just didnt know what to say. Reporter when comcast finally found the contract, weeks later, the Cable Provider said the hoa missed the window to cancel and owes nearly 8,000 for the next year. They justified it by saying its what it would cost us for the next 11 months. Its very frustrating this is a communications company, not communicating its ironic, isnt it . Reporter after getting nowhere with comcast, the hoa contacted consumerwatch and we contacted the telecommunications giant. Comcast told us it was already in the process of canceling the Service Without penalties and said, quote, a dedicated representative has been assigned to ensure smooth transitions. Paschal and ingrid are now they are glad to be off the hook for the 8,000 bill and say in spite of the fourmonth fiasco, many in the building will remain loyal comcast customers.
