That was quite a stunner in many respects. A number of musical performances we will talk about as well. I watched the game for the commercials, one in particular it to the wrong note to many. I like the verizon at that featured the real phone calls between someone who got help on their first responder. People reaching out to say thank you. That is the one that i liked. I liked the sprint one where the robot starts to talk and at the end the robot says you have a dumb face. I did not catch that one. I thought alexa was hilarious. Tom brady throwing for 500 yards and he does not get the win. I watch it for the game. There were some people yelling. Speaking of tom brady, his wife, there are reports when she was in the airport after the game she personally congratulated every eagles player so just the ultimate in grace. She taught her children we have to share, that he has won a lot. I like that. We will circle back to the super bowl in a minute but first it has been four months but this morning we are covering an important milestone after the north bay wildfires. A school for children with autism that was damaged by the tubs fire is reopening. Christien kafton is there for the reopening and this is such an emotional morning for the entire school and their family. Reporter i have to tell you, there is Nothing Better than seeing kids getting back to school. As much as you might think kids might be hesitant to go back to school, i am telling you i have seen numerous students at Cardinal Newman and here at the center for education. These kids are excited to get back. This is what they are coming back to. You can see the students and the new portable bungalows. Everyone reunited for the First Time Since the fires. The school caters to students with autism and the students, parents and administrators watched as the Luther Burbank center and their school burned. It took three weeks to get the students back into class but the grades were split up throughout the region, today they returned to campus to the new portable classrooms and all the kids came together to say it is nice to be back. It is amazing. It warms my heart. We have been working for this for the last few months. Reporter the School Mascot used to be the dragon but since then they have adopted the Phoenix Rising from the ashes. Coming back to the live picture you can see these are getting back to normal. We have andrew bailey, the founder of the Education Center and talk to me for a moment what it is like to watch these kids come back together as a community and to come back to school. I saw a lot of smiling. As anyone knows a chappie heil to is essential. We are interested in giving these kids happy childhood. So to see the skids who want to come back to school and want to be around us, it is really heartwarming in a way that is life altering. Reporter we are talking about an important area of education. This is the kind of education they might not be able to receive anywhere else. That is correct, this is a Specialized Treatment Program providing kids with the services they need to benefit from their education which is profound because all of these students are bright and are capable of learning and excelling but they have neurological differences that make it difficult. So we make it so the kids can succeed and school and be happy. It all goes handinhand. Reporter andrew bailey, thank you so much. Today they said it is going to be a little more fun and then tomorrow it is school as regular just normal. Back to class, back to the curriculum, doing everything. They have made a commitment to staying right here with no firm timeline on when the building will be rebuilt. It could be 2 to 3 years before they know the timeline. They do say they are committed to staying here serving the community. Very good, thank you christien kafton. Fire officials said the high wind and powerlines are the cause of three small fires the way the massive north bay wildfires started. There were strong winds that night threatening to knock over structures. The assistant fire marshal says wind played a role in starting the small fires. In some cases where the lines were connecting with one another essentially they were contacting each other and we were able to witness the sparks coming from the utility directly associated with the wind. The fire has been investigated and they determined to homes were burned and damaged a school along brush creek road and damaged another building on granville road. Cal fire is investigating the deadly fire cause in sonoma. Pg e has said there was no determination on the cause of the fires and we are focused on doing everything we can to help Sonoma County recover and rebuild. Are thoughts are with everyone. These communities and neighborhoods are where customers employees family and friends live and work and nothing is more important than their safety and wellbeing. A soldout benefit concert raised thousands for people affected by the thomas fire. Kevin costner and Olivia Newton john helped raise money saturday in downtown ventura. The thomas fire started december 4 and burned through 280,000 acres destroying hundreds of homes in Santa Barbara and ventura county. I went to school here. I grew up in the area and i went to the school and i am just one person and this is something i wanted to do. So this is what happened this is what i grew into. The thomas fire was the largest on record in california history. Uc davis researchers hope to sign up thousands of fire survivors for an Online Survey about what they experienced. It is designed to gather personal experiences, household circumstances and Health Effects from the fires. For more we are joined by the chief researcher from the survey and the director of the Health Science center. Thank you for joining us. Lets focus on the environmental hazards first. What kind of information are you hoping to gather . We want to find out about residents experiences, how they even heard about the fire at the time when it happened. We want to see the immediate Health Effects they may experience and now here we are a few months out so what they are still facing and we are also hoping to be able to connect the exposures in the fires both to the fire and the smoke to potential Health Effects. Shortterm and ultimately we would like to followup long term. When we are out covering wildfires in the forest it is kind of organic matter that is burning but i am curious and what you think you will discover when we are talking about more than 5000 homes that are burned . What chemicals might you find or even some new chemicals . In addition to the survey we are asking people to take online, we have also collected ash samples and we are interested in finding out if the material is different for an urban fire such as the ones that occurred in Northern California and Southern California of course. Versus what we usually have in california. Which is usually the large forest fires. We think it could be different because there are many Synthetic Materials that are in homes and in the building materials. You know, the particleboard and the furnishings. All of these things may have different chemical compositions than the ordinary forest fire. Is there any thought about how to approach this in a sensitive way . Obviously people have lost a lot and they may not have the time or maybe the Emotional Energy to answer any sort of questions about this tragedy. It is a pretty short survey, 20 or 30 minutes. We understand, especially asking about these things may bring up a lot of emotions and difficult emotions. At the end of the survey we have a list of places people can go for Mental Health services. So far, we seem to be getting a good response, but we really want everyone to participate. People who were affected and people who were affected less. So that way we can make the comparisons which is the basis of most scientific work. To be able to compare different experiences and different times that they were affected. So often in these situations, Mental Health is overlooked. What specifically are you looking for when it comes to the Mental Health of survivors now and months out . We are asking for physical symptoms and Mental Health symptoms that they may be experiencing. This has not been done to look at both the emotional or Mental Health and physical health. Also the combined effect of the traumatic events and what could be some important chemical exposures. This is a pretty unique study in that regard. There have been a lot of studies about peoples physical symptoms in relation to fires like respiratory symptoms but we are going to dig deeper. Also, we want to see how the fires may have affected different communities. There were some wealthy communities and some very poor communities that have all been affected quite heavily by the fires and there could be different impacts depending on the basic Economic Resources that certain neighborhoods and communities may have had. So we will be looking at the Health Disparities that may be part of the impact of the fires. Very important work, doctor thank you for joining us. I will mention quickly we put the survey link on ktvu. Com. Just go to ktvu. Com and click on web links. Coming up, cracking down on car burglaries in the east bay, the new crime being considered by the city of alameda that may raise privacy concerns. The Philadelphia Eagles are super bowl champions. Highlights from the game, the halftime show and the rowdy celebration that happened afterward. I bet you they are just now waking up in philadelphia after going to bed very late or very early this morning, many people spent the night on the streets celebrating the first super bowl win for the eagles. We found some fans flipping cars and starting fires. Video on social media showed fans breaking through the awning of a hotel as well as a food fight in a convenience store. Officials are going to release details on a championship parade later today. We expect the parade to be held wednesday. The eagles beating the patriots the final score 41 33. It was a shoot out from the start. The teams piled up the most yards in nfl history. 1100 yards of total offense including some trick plays right before halftime with nick foles in the end zone. It is trey burton and it is caught by nick foles. Nick foles sneaking out to the right side and he makes the catch putting the eagles up at the halftime. The patriots would take the lead for a second but then the gamewinning touchdown pass thrown to stanford alumni zach ertz. The eagles get their first super bowl and here is the mvp, nick foles on that trick play before halftime. It is something we have been working on so we said lets just run it. The end of it i thought i really need to make it look like i am not doing anything and it worked. The throw was right on the money. The eagles are super bowl champions. The odds are out for next year, the patriots are the favorites followed by the eagles and steelers. The 49ers have the 10th best and the raiders the 12th. The eagles had the trick play, but tom brady went out for a pass so check this out. And now back to Danny Amendola but brady cant haul it in. Just off the fingertips. Immediately after nick foles made the catch twitter was on fire bouncing up and down saying nick foles may the catch but tom brady didnt. I saw a picture of his wife with a glass of red wine and her daughter on her lap. It hit him in the hands. To be fair, he is a quarterback not a receiver. Lets talk about the music now, musicians taking the stage for the super bowl. [ music ] singer pink delivered an emotional rendition of the National Anthem before the game despite the fact that she was sick with the flu. Pink is a philadelphia native and says she has dreamed of this opportunity since that performance by Whitney Houston in 1991. It appears every player stayed standing during the National Anthem. [ music ] Justin Timberlake took the stage for the halftime show getting a lot of attention. For the tribute to the late prince. Prince of course from minneapolis. Justin timberlake played songs from his new album along with other hits. Some people didnt like the show. What do you expect . They wanted other acts to join him like we had in santa clara. He didnt need anyone else. By the way dont be surprised if some of your coworkers are not at work today. I will say Steve Paulson took a day off but a new survey shows that almost 14 Million People will call in sick today making it one of the biggest sick days of the year. It even has its own hashtag. Super sick monday. The numbers could be higher because we are having a rough flu season so some of the calls could be legitimate. Another survey says employers are likely to believe workers who use that as an excuse. I would never say i had the flu if i didnt because then i would be jinxing myself to get the flu. Have you ever faked sick tax i dont think i have. I think i have. Not recently. A long time ago. A long time ago. Coming up, in Politics Democrats are pushing for the release of their own classified memo, in a moment by both sides agree it is a good idea. The trump tax reform might mean bigger paychecks for you. We will talk about what the boost could mean for your tax bracket. Okay mcdonalds. I see your one, two and three dollar deals. Tell you what, ill raise you five. Introducing value jacks way. Five great ways to save. Like i tell jack jr. , its all about big values, jr. Prices. Thats value jacks way. Like jacks oneofakind breakfast pockets for 2 each. Three of jacks famous tacos and a small drink for 3 or a classic bonus jack combo for 5 its like i tell jack jr. , its all about big values, jr. Prices. Looking at stocks, the dow jones down 277 points. We saw it drop near 300 earlier on. Now it is dropping back down. These numbers are not good but friday was very bad when the dow jones dropped by 600 points so this week we are trying to recover. Some other tech stocks are coming up. According to the Treasury Department 90 of americans will have a higher paycheck because of the recent tax bill and for many that was seen on friday with more to come. The boost could mean some changes to your tax bracket. You might need to make changes to your w4. We are joined live by Rebecca Walser a tax attorney and Financial Advisor. Good morning. Lets talk about the increase in the paycheck it was the talk friday as people noticed some extra money, what about the w4 . Do we need to go out and get a new one . The irs has temporarily made the w 4. The withholding table has changed so the existing w4 will work for now. They have set if you have a comp located situation, if you itemize, you will need to go to the irs calculator at the end of the month. It should be updated so double check your withholdings with the new calculator and then change your w4 accordingly but for now the tables have been made so you dont have to update your w4. One of the biggest fears people have is that they will not deduct enough and then on april 15 next year because this april 15 is from last year but next year, people will have to pay because they did not withhold enough. How do we avoid doing that . The biggest way to avoid doing that is to make sure if youre not comfortable with the calculation, double check the irs calculator at the end of february which will let you know what you should withhold and if youre going to be extra cautious you could withhold more than that so youre in a refund situation instead of underpayment. I used to love getting a big refund until i figured out i had been loaning uncle sam my money interest free. Do you think americans are averse to having to pay a little bit in april . That is a great question. People dont realize the government is holding their money and they feel like a lot of people are forcing savings. If youre not a good saver and you want to have the big refund check then you can basically overpay and get the refund but i do think you are right. We dont save enough so this is a forced way to make it happen and another way is automatic transfer of money from the second account. So if i get a refund what is the best avenue . Where should i put the money these days . Well, the market is going up right now. We are worried about inflation and Interest Rates so that is why we have the stock pull back and that is why we are worried about rates going up. We had a very long run here this is the second longest bull run in history so to tell people to go to the market is a little bit not exactly what we want to do, we have to wait and see but we do need a correction to happen so after the correction that is when we want to buy in low and sell high. We are just about out of time but what about rising Interest Rates . A lot of people dont like that so what about the average person . Should you try to get a mortgage now . What should we do with Interest Rates going up . If youre trying to buy real estate you are affected a few ways. We have the tax property increase and Mortgage Rates will be affected also. If you are about to break make a purchase i would do would sooner not later because we have a few rate hikes so pull the trigger on your purchase as fast as possible. Very good, tax attorney and Financial Advisor Reb
