Sea lions charge towards people at La Jolla.
Cold ticks can attach anywhere.
They really like hairlines.
A tick disease kills
over a dozen people South
of the border. It gives me a purpose
for my pain and beauty to the streets
knows that when you're down on your luck,
there's no better feeling than a hot meal,
hygiene products and a hug, he
continues across San Diego County in the
form of a heat advisory and excessive.
Warning to add on to that,
we've got plenty of fog to kick
off your morning that comes
with a dense fog advisory.
It is 6:00 AM on Tuesday,
July 25th, you're up with CBS8.
Today. The Chula Vista City
Council is considering buying and
converting a motel into a permanent
housing site for the homeless.
Thanks for being here at 6:00 AM.
I'm Eric Connors. And
I'm Data Marie Mcnicol filling in for
Netta or RAMP or now we've approved.
This would be the first motel
to house and give safe parking
initiatives in South County.
The Palomar Motel is on Walnut Ave.
just east of the five Now.
If purchased, a motel would be
able to house 31 residents and more
with the attached parking lot as
an overnight safe parking site.
It would cost about $7,000,000 to
purchase and another six million
to convert it.
That's all according to a city staff report.
This comes after Chula Vista police
closed Harborside Park in April,
forcing dozens of homeless out.
Several parents called for this,
saying the park is near an elementary school.
Homeless advocates criticize the.
Decision saying the homeless
had nowhere to go
this morning. A road is closed
in Valley Center because of a
broken pipe in a large sinkhole.
Happened yesterday afternoon on
Cole Grade Rd. Between Miller Rd.
And Cole Grade Lane chop right
overhead and you can see there's a
water just cushion out right here.
The road flooded.
Not clear what caused this,
but you could see a big hole in what
we're told is a high pressure water pipe.
Right now we don't know how
long the road will be closed or
when repairs will be finished.
This morning we are learning
the trial for Larry Milliete,
who is accused of killing his wife Maya,
will not start now until 2024.
The trial is now set for January 16th,
three years after the Chula
Vista mother was last seen.
Larry says he needs more time to figure
out how to pay his defense team.
The trial was initially set for
October after a judge ruled there
was enough evidence for him to stand
trial for Miles alleged murder.
Maya has not been seen or heard
from since January of 2021.
Larry has pleaded not guilty.
And this viral video shows two
aggressive sea lions at La Jolla Cove.
You can see the sea lions barking
and charging at other sea lions.
People panicked.
Even some ran away quickly.
Conservationists say this is a
good reminder to keep a distance
and not irritate the animals.
In the Sea Lion world,
they identify at their territory
by pushing the other one out of
it and whoever's bigger wins,
the San Diego City Council's
environmental committee is working to
keep that area closed all year long.
Last week, the committee approved a
recommendation asking for the change,
who now go to a full City Council hearing.
And this morning Seaworld's electric
eel roller coaster is back open.
It was actually shut down
last month due to an injury.
Now, a spokesperson told the
Union Tribune the ride reopened.
When the last week last month,
a man in his 20s was taken to
the hospital for what Cal OSHA
described as a left ankle deformity,
the agency says safety signs and audio
prompts have now been added to the ride.
They've also changed made changes
to the operating procedures
and instructional videos.
This morning you can make a difference and
make sure local families do not go hungry,
especially our kids.
CBS8IS partnering with the San Diego
Food Bank for the annuals. Schools out.
Hunger is not summer food drive.
CBS Eight's Abby Black live at the
San Diego Food Bank here this morning
to explain how you can donate,
how we could all help out.
Lots of options Abby.
There are so many options Eric and CBS8
is such a proud partner for schools
Out Hunger's not annual campaign.
Live with us is Debbie
Gilboy from Albertsons Vons.
Debbie we look forward to this every year.
How important is it to be able
to be a part of this campaign?
Oh, it meets the
world to us. We're we're all about
giving back to the community.
And so this is just the perfect partnership
for us with the San Diego Food Bank
and for those that are
shopping at Vons Albertsons,
what can they do this week and then
starting next week as well. So this
week we've got the red barrels
out in all of our stores.
Just donate, buy and donate anything
that you'd like out of the store.
And then next week we'll
have the the bags ready.
So you can donate bags,
or you can just make a cash
donation at the register.
Will ring up any denomination
that you'd like.
But yeah, the bags are the easiest,
best way to get the product to the
food bank that they really want.
And I'm an Albertson shopper,
so I love every year when the cashier says,
hey, do you want to donate?
And I said, of course,
because I feel like it's such
an easy way just to give that
55 extra dollars or any kind
of money that you may have.
You can do more,
you can do less because that
dollar really is stretched
for so many families.
It sure
is. It's it's the product that
the food bank needs and wants and
requests so that we we put these
bags together at their request.
And also another proud sponsor
is PNC Bank Alan Prehuska.
How important is it to be able
to be a part of this campaign?
It's huge for us.
This is our third year sponsoring the
school's out hunger's not food drive.
I mean, this is an easy one to get behind.
It's for the kids.
A lot of people forget that
during the school year.
There are 10s of thousands of kids in
San Diego that get one to two meals a
day from the school system and those
may be their only meals they're getting.
The school gets out.
These kids are risk of going hungry.
We want our community to thrive.
And so I think this is a really easy
way for us to get involved and ensure
we meet basic needs for people.
Most definitely because we're seeing
inflation and a lot of people can feel
that their grocery bill is going up.
For those that are struggling,
it's even more important that we make
sure that our kids that there are,
there's a dinner taper.
There's a meal for a dinner every night.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, we feel inflation across every
aspect of our lives, Gas, housing.
Food is one of them.
Then we think about the building
blocks of making our community great,
You know, safety, shelter, food.
Food is a very easy one for us to
all get behind with the grocery
store at least once a week.
I've got three kids.
I'm at the grocery store probably
three or four times a week.
So when you're at checkout,
donate 5 bucks,
donate 20 bucks,
donate non perishables in the red bins.
It's pretty easy to do.
So thank you so much.
Alan, there's a QR code as well.
That you can use.
Just put it right up to your
screen and to your phone screen.
So then you can find out all
the different ways that you
can donate again next week.
That $5 donation bag,
that prefilled bag starts,
but you can start donating now
your perishable items or you can
go online and donate as well.
Eric. Yeah,
Abby, I know you're right next
to that peanut butter there.
I know that that is something that they
always want people to donate, right?
Because that goes a long ways.
Yes, I mean you can,
you can get these donated items
when you're at the grocery store,
but also, you know,
look in your kitchen cabinet as well.
I'm sure you have some extra peanut
butter that you probably bought that
you never opened and that would
also family say that you know what
we may not think goes a long way,
but families become very resourceful.
And so things like peanut butter,
canned meats,
canned vegetables and fruits,
those really help our families to
be able to subsidize and supplement
some of their other groceries that
they'll need be able to be able to buy.
It's a ways to help out our community here.
Thank you so much for that Abby.
Appreciate it.
Let's turn now to our ongoing heat wave
impacting all of us here this morning.
Several hiking trails remain
closed because of the hot weather.
The San Diego River Gorge,
Cedar Creek Falls,
Three Sisters Falls and Eagle
Peak trails all will stay closed.
Officials for the Cleveland National
Forest say the decision is to help
prevent heat related illnesses
and as I'm walking back,
I trip like what just happened.
And I tripped because this part of
the shoe right here was like this.
It looked like this.
That is how hot it is in Arizona, folks.
That is a librarian whose shoes melted,
he says. He was outside for 30 minutes.
Right now, Phoenix is close to a new
national record, the first US city to average
over 100 degrees for an entire month.
Experts warn it's not just the
air that's the concern, either.
Surface temperatures can get dangerously hot.
Doctors say quick contact can cause first
degree burns at 118 degrees, blisters at 131,
and skin tissue can be destroyed at 162.
In Arizona, surface temperatures
can reach 180 degrees.
And keep in mind, at those temperatures,
when you step into the car,
you just you ask the kids to get
in the car anything they touch.
Is going to be hot.
Especially the metal seat belts,
metal linings in the car.
You got to literally turn the car on,
get the A/C going for quite a while
before you can even get in the car.
Just like in the winter time when
you Preheat your car, you have did
the exact same thing for the summer.
It is amazing to see just how long it
takes to really feel the cool air come in.
You can send that car for 2-3 minutes
and just feel like you're sweating.
Oh, I get down to the freeway
and I'm still is my air.
I have panic attacks.
I think my air conditioner
is broken. It's taking
a while to kick in that
hot. Yeah, Yeah.
Versus the coastline where things
are very mild, comfortable.
So we're going to continue to
see that trend persist and it
starts off in our morning hours.
In a very similar way,
we have dense fog from the coast
all the way to our inland valleys,
limited visibility less than a mile
right now for Oceanside, for Miramar,
for Imperial Beach and Otay Mesa.
When you make your way toward Ramona,
even we're at 7 miles along with Fallbrook.
So you see how this is an issue not only
plaguing your coast or the immediate coast,
but also stretching for a
pretty decent area inland.
We have a dense fog advisory
that's in play that is a new one
that lasts through 9:00 AM today.
And also keep in mind,
doesn't really cover all that much time,
right? It will expire at 9:00 AM today.
We'll move on with our day.
We'll have some clouds along the
coastline and we'll have the sea
breeze that will keep the coast a
lot more mild and moderate orange.
On the screen shows the heat advisory
that will last through 8:00 PM on Wednesday.
This is when that we have clung on to
for weeks now. About 3 weeks in total.
Could go for another week,
but it seems like it will be
set to expire tomorrow.
Excessive heat warning has the same
expiration date Wednesday at 8:00 PM.
So why is the heat related?
Alert, watch, warning,
whatever you want to call each of them.
Of the warning heat advisory,
those are all in effect inland because
we've got that stretch of 90s right,
91 inland, 97 for the mountains,
114 for the deserts versus the coastline.
Staying a lot more comfortable in
the upper 70s with some AM clouds,
more opportunities for PM sun in
there walking out the door right now.
This is the time to get the dog out,
to take that long walk or run
with them or for you to get your
exercise in because we're in the 60s.
Clouds are pretty generous to us right now,
but we're going to warm.
Up pretty quickly.
So temperature change from 24 hours ago.
Shows most spots are warmer,
at least inland Poway, 2 degrees warmer,
5 degrees warmer in Ramona,
but a little bit cooler along the coast.
So things are pretty similar.
And within a 5 degree or so discrepancy
of where we were at this time yesterday,
the heat remains through tomorrow,
and then we'll start to cool down
toward the weekend and early next week.
Let's take a look at your reporter
wait times right now.
611 on the clock,
and we want to see what that same
usage report of entry looks like.
That's going to take you a while.
140 minutes, about a.
Two hour and 20 minute wait right now.
Oh time.
A supportive entry is going to be an hour 15.
So you are expected to have some pretty
decent delays getting into San Diego County.
Once you're in San Diego County,
cbs8.com/traffic can get you the
latest on what our highway conditions
look like. Data Marine. Eric.
All right. Thank you so much. Evan.
Sill ahead. Could a deadly tick disease
in Baja California spread to San Diego.
Plus California is now the
number one state that wealthy
Americans are leaving.
We'll explain why and tell
you where they're going.
And they didn't win the jackpot,
but a San Diegon still won
big with the Powerball.
