Yeah, liz, weve just learn it had strike has been averted. Bottom line, if you have to catch ac transit to get to work or school tomorrow, you will be able to. The 180 thousand or so riders who take that bus line on a daly basis will not have to contend with a strike. We just word a tentative agreement has been reechled. The major sticking points had been over salary and med kalg benefits. Officials informed us they agreed to a threeyear agreement that provides a raise of about 9. 5 with employees contributing to their medical benefits. They also said health and safety issues has been a dressed in this agreement, as well. We are actually awaiting. They had been working closer and closer to an agreement last week. They were just a fraction of of a percentage from actually reaching that agreement, and now we hear theyve done it so another strike averted tonight, and shortly we will hear from those union officials.

The board of iven kwirly will report its tiendings to the govrper who could order a 60day cooling off period before theres another strike. A woman whose job it is to find other people and investigate the truth is hearst missing tonight. She works for the federal government and as joe vasquez tells us, the latest case she was working on was personal involving her stolen dog being held for ran some. Sandra is a good and kind woman. Her daughter neesd her. Her family needs her. Tanya says her sister is missing and might be in danger. Sandra is a wellrespected investigator for the attorneys at the federal public defenders auchs in San Francisco. She has spent her career working in legal offices as an investigator, you know, fighting for the underdog. The underdog in this case may have nothing to do with her job. Her family pet, a cocker spaniel was recently stolen during a burglary. Two men told her they would give her the dog back for a thousand dollars. Those men ended up in jail but one recently got out. Her dog is still missing. Possibly trying to meet with one of these guys trying to get her dog back. She was last seen sunday night at her home. The cops found her car last night about two miles away in the 800 block of 32nd street in oakland. Tanya tells me her work phone was found in emeryville and that she traced her sisters personal cell phone through various parts of oakland before it ended up in richmond near mcdonalds in wilson. This part of richmond is largely a Commercial Area with various store fronts, a church and bank nearby. This intersection is also close to a freeway so its possible somebody tossed the cell phone out as they were traveling up i80. She needs to come home. If theres anybody out there who knows about her or has her, please let her go. Call the police. Let her be in touch with us. Joe vasquez, kpix 5. If you have any information, please contact the Oakland Police department. The search continues tonight for the man accused of killing a san diego area woman and abducting one or both of her children. Police believe 40yearold James Lee Dimaggio has 16yearold hannah antder son with him. Investigators say its possible he also has 8yearold ethan but the body of a child was found sunday night in this Burning House in eastern san diego county. Investigators havent been able to determine if it is ethan. The body of his mother, Christina Anderson was also found. Christinas husband and the childrens father hopes his missing daughter can hear this. Hannah, we all love you very much. If you have a chance, you take it. You run. Youll be found. Brett anderson also urged the suspect to turn himself in. He says dimaggio and his wife had a close platonic relationship. Authorities say the children thought of dimaggio as uncle jim. Dimaggio is believed to be driving a blue nissan versa with california license plate of 6 wcu 986. Police say he may be headed to texas or canada. Now, this case marks the first time an amber alert text message was sent out statewide. A tone was heard for about ten seconds when people with cell phones got the text around 11 00 last thieth. Its part of a National Program called wireless emergency alerts. It became a topic of discussion on the neighborhood lists. I think some people found it, i dont know, invaifs or something, but i didnt. Didnt bother me at sfwlaul the program uses local cell phone towers to send alerts to any phone in the targeted area, even if you have an out of town area code. The fbi telling us tonight ajents are zeroing in on several dangerous bank robbers here in the bay area. Authorities call this guy up close bandit. He walks into banks pretending he has a gun then pulls out a note to the teller demanding money. Fbi says he has hit at least two banks since june. These are surveillance photos of three criminals the fbi calls the high jumper bandits. Since april, they are believed to have violently vobed five banks in San Francisco and san mateo counties. The crews storms in with guns, jumps the counters then empties the cash drawers. Fbi is concerned theyre getting more violent. Smell something funny coming from your tap . Kiet do is in Mountain View and tells us its nasty. Kiet. Liz, this is a problem that affects 60 thousand plus customers all over los al, parts of cupertino and right here in Mountain View. They are battling Mother Nature right now and doing everything they can. At allison taylors home in los al, theres really no polite way to describe the smell and taste of the water. Actually, that tastes a bit like lake water to me honestly. It does taste a little like theres dirt in it almost. We are in whats called the smell and taste season from august to october where the combination of summer heat and low water levels cause the algae to multiply. The algae survive the trip to all the various reservoirs in the south bay. It eventually ends up here, the Water Treatment plant in los gat, but the 45yearold facility is so old it doesnt have the hightech machinery to get rid of all the funny smell and taste. The Santa Clara ValleyWater District says this is the most severe case theyve had in five years. The trikt calls it anesthetic issue and says the water is completely safe. I would imagine some people would look at that water and say safe, yeah, right. Yeah. Some of the calls we may get are often that nature. We kind of explain to them the Science Behind it and why it comes from the algae and its a byproduct and really all it is is taste and odor. Thats little comfort to allison who even bought a new dishwasher thinking that might solve the problem. They say its safe to drink. You trust them. I dont trust anyone. I mean, unfortunately, so many things in our country are falling apart, and we have to take they thinks on ourself. And so in the meantime, the district says if you dont want to filter the water, put it in the fridge. Thatll help with the smell and taste. In the meantime, they will work with the state to try and get cleaner water shipped over here. Of course, if you wait until fall and winter, the cool weather will kill all the algae and then the problem goes away. Liz. Well, kishgset, when will the plant upgrades be finally finished. They are working on that now venlt they say itll take about five years to get done so were looking at 2018 time frame. Sound lieks a long time. All right. Thank you. Well, it just got a whole lot worse for one disgraced california mayor. How a wounded marine is accusing him of using her as bargaining chip for sex. Whats missing from new cars that could leave you straunded. And whats behind the medical and Health Benefits . Weal have that story coming up.

Buses will run tomorrow. The agency and its unions reached a tent tiff agreement just before the Midnight Strike deadline. Its a threeyear contract with a raise of 9. 5 . Employees will be contributing to their own health and medical benefits. The workers will vote on that contract later this month. Also in the news tonight, a the body of a 74yearold woman has been found in her suv nearly a month after she was last seen. Tonight we have learned that she kept a journal detailing her final days. Wishgslmas suv got stuck on a log on a rural road near her home in grass valley. Friends say she may have been in that area to visit a campground she used to go to with her late husband. A Nevada CountySheriffs Office says there is no sign of foul play and that she was far from food and water. Deputies will not say what she wrote in the journal. She wanted to go up there to reminisce and took a wrong road. I would just like, i think, to find some peace that she had found peace with where she was at. And friends hope to read whatever messages wilma mafz left behind. As if the accusations against a california mayor werent sordid enough, tonight a female marine is accusing him of some pretty awful behavior. I dont appreciate being used as a bargaining chip to fulfill his sexual desires. Injured in the iraq war. She says she and her nurse, michelle tyler, met with san diego bob fill ner to ask for his help dealing with the veterans administration. The woman said the mayor seemed to be willing to help for a price. It was extremely disturbing to me that he made it very clear that his expectation was that his help for katherine depended on my willingness to go to dinner with him, spend personal time with him and be seen in public with him. Tyler is the 11th woman to accuse the mayor of sexual harassment. The mayor began intensive counseling this week to address his behavior, but so far he is refusing to resign. Cindy plans to run for governor next year. Members of the peace and Freedom Party tell the Sacramento Bee that she is expected to announce her candidacy in a couple of weeks. You may raul sheehan made headlines for protesting outside thenpresident bushs texas ranch after her son was killed in action in iraq. She ran for Vice President last year and for the house of representatives before that. Millions of car owners could be in for a rutd awakening as Maurice Dubois explains, they are driving around without an important piece of Safety Equipment and have no idea. The dreaded flat tire. It happens toe just about everyone some time or another. When it happened to joan freeman, she called for help instead of changing the flat hearst, but when the mechanic looked in the trunk, there was no spare tire, noevent a donut, the temporary tire. He said, theres no donut. I said, what do you mine. Freemans husband says this was in place of the spare. Repair kit useless given the damage to his wifes tire. We had an order a flat bed. As an emergency road Service Organization weve seen this quite a bit. Not too long ago nearly every car came with fullsized spare tire, but in recent years, fuel economy requirements have prompted auto makers to shift toward offering smaller temporary spares, and in some vehicles, they provide no spare at all. As Vehicle Manufacturers are faced with the need to get better mileage from their vehicles as a result of mandates, they try and do everything and anything they can. See the car he was test driving on this day also didnt come with a spare. Might have to go through the trouble of getting this thing to a shop and having it towed. Just another profit building for them at your expense. Auto safety expert is worried. He says a car with no spare is a safety hazard. If youre stuck at night, theres nobody available to replace a tire, youre going to get a tow, what are you going to do . Where are you going to go. I frankly never ever would have bought the car without a donut. The freemans are outraged. The dealership never told them their car didnt come with a spare. This is just unsafe and the people dont know about it. Safety experts want manufacturers and dealers to make sure consumers are better informed. There needs to be ample disclosure so youre not learning this on the side of the road. Some car models do have a nospare disclosure on the inside door panel but the best way to know for sure is check with your dealership or rental company before hitting the road. Protesters dumping a lot of russian vodka in front of San Francisco city hal today, and they want all of you to know that you should be boycotting russian products, they say. Why . Because of new russian laws that are antigay, including one that makes it illegal to talk to children about home sexuality. These protesters took aim, but theres a twist here. The Vodka Company issued a letter last month emphasizing the brand doesnt follow the russian laws, and it has even sponsored gay events for years. Well, paul, where did the summer go .

Take you inland where its not going to be much milder. Lateday sunshine tomorrow. High of 75. 77 on thursday. Still well below your average high of 85 degrees. Heres the culprit. Big area of low pressure sitting offshore not only giving us on shore flow but a southwest component to the wind.
