different answers and we are going to have to see what happens. voters will probably decide. right here we are in front of station one in walnut creek. they are already expecting some staffing cuts come january but they are already talking about perhaps cutting out stations throughout the county. so voters will probably be asked in the coming year, how much they're willing to pay in taxes to keep these stations open. how much would you be willing to pay to keep a fire station own? >> whatever it takes to keep them open. if it keeps the area safe, whatever they want. maybe up to $100, at least. >> probably up to $100 a year. >> reporter: would you be willing to pay up to $90 more a year to keep the fire stations open? >> i would, for our safety, for the safety our neighborhood. >> reporter: they need to raise money. supervisors say with property tax revenues down 12% in contra costa the money it pay for fire services is also down. >> it is possible that without

new revenue and enough cost savings that fire station will have to close in about a year. >> reporter: the fire chief wants to reduce staffing at station 1 in walnut creek and as many as 8 stations could be closed including ones in martinez, concord and lafayette. that is, unless voters approve a parcel tax between $50 to $90. how much would you be willing to spend? >> none. i'm taxed out. i'm through supporting any taxes or bonds whatsoever at this particular time. >> we realize that voters don't often support new taxes unless they really think government has done a good job cutting its costs and really needs the money. in this case, we really do need some additional money. >> reporter: because supervisors know this could be difficult to pass, they are going to spend about $25,000 on a poll to see what voters might accept. >> pensions could be lowered but i don't want to see them leave so whatever it takes to get them to stay.

>> reporter: this supervisor says pension reform is on the table and they will be looking at ways to cut costs. be. >> we are going to be focusing on pension costs, healthcare costs, but even if we do that, the savings from that are not going to be immediate and won't save us $12 million a year, which is what we're looking at right now as a deficit. >> reporter: so this poll will help them determine whether or not they want to ask voters to increase taxes, how much they want to ask and i should also point out they don't know whether or not this would be a temporary tax or a permanent one. >> that makes a big difference to people, too. all right. ann notarangelo, thanks. nearly a month after the election, it is finally over. san francisco district attorney kamala harris will become california's next attorney general. her opponent, los angeles d.a. steve cooley, conceded today. cbs 5 political insider phil matier on what we can expect on some of the state's most controversial issues. reporter: after three weeks

of nail biting vote counts it appears that san francisco is sending yet another big name to sacramento. >> certainly is a huge first. >> reporter: that's golden gate law school dean's take on the historic election of san francisco district attorney kamala harris as california's first woman, first black and first indian-american attorney general. >> someone like kamala harris knows what it's like to be a person of color and a woman in general. >> reporter: her opposition to the death penalty and support of same-sex marriage, it was an election that gave voters a clear choice on some of the most controversial issues in the state what can we expect from the liberal now that she is the state top cop? what about kamala harris and the death penalty? is that going to be big? >> she made it clear she will uphold the law but i think she will be much more attentive to the fact that the system is broken right now and what can

be done about either doing things that are necessary to make it more just -- >> reporter: and same-sex marriage? how do you think she is going to handle these different hotspot issues? >> kamala harris is clearly supportive of same gender marriage. >> reporter: won't she find herself right out of the gate with 40 to 45% of the voters on the other side of her stance? >> she may well. on the other hand, so much of what the attorney general does is to move resources in direction where they're needed, things that don't hit the front pages. >> reporter: she beat district attorney steve cooley in his own backyard and without the support of most of the state's police organizations who are still upset over her refusal to seek the death penalty for the killer of san francisco police officer isaac espinosa. so what was the reaction down at the hall of justice today to the news that she had won? kamala harris just won the attorney general's race. [ laughter ] >> reporter: anything to say?

what do you think of it? >> happy thanksgiving. >> reporter: no comment? as you can see, there's kind of tight lips down there for two reasons. one i think is because they are not supposed to talk about politics when in uniform and two because they know it is a mine field ready to go off, all right? >> so a surprise that she won? >> yes. she fought hard and there. the cops didn't mount the campaigns people thought they were going to against her. and neither did steve coolly. it's going to be very interesting here in san francisco because now, san francisco mayor gavin newsom is on the way to sacramento to become the next lieutenant governor. before he goes or just as he goes, they are going to be selecting anew mayor. and before he goes, he will have a chance now to select kamala harris' successor. so the chess game down at city hall got much more interesting because not only a mayor that's going to get an interim, he is going to appoint her replacement as well, two top jobs. >> she was his pick originally. >> reporter: well, he backed her originally but it's going

to get very interesting. keep your eyes on them. they are both on the rise. and somewhere down the run they might wind up running against each other for that next job the governorship. >> wow. we'll just have to wait, let them do their jobs that they have at hand. and then we'll see. but yeah, you're right. all right, phil, thank you very much. another bay area race was finally called today by the associated press. democratic representative democratic incumbent jerry mcnerny reelected to a third term. mcnerney holds a lead of 2500 vote over his republican challenger david harmer, who says he is not quite ready to concede just yet. he is waiting on more counting in the san joaquin county. mcnerney's re-election means no california congressional seat changed party hands despite the gop's national gains. that leaves just one uncalled congressional race, new york's first district where two candidates are split by just 235 votes with more than 2,000

challenged ballots under review. you may have heard the mayor-elect of oakland had a boot placed on her car tuesday morning. certainly worth a chuckle. but for a lot of oakland resident and business owners, it also comes as a thanksgiving sized serving of irony. don knapp on the boot and jean quan's response in the past hour. >> reporter: you might ask, why some people are gloating and others are even gleeful about the mayor-elect's car getting the boot. there is as you suggest some history here and it's rooted in what some folks say is an overly aggressive parking policy. reporter: parking is still a sore spot with merchants and shoppers here in the grand lake theater area. >> going to give me a ticket just now. >> reporter: this is a merchant getting into it with a parking control officer in july 2009 after city council including member jean quan raised parking rates and extended meter hours. >> pay employees, pay this, pay the other thing, parking! parking! parking is a major issue!

>> reporter: so when folks hear that councilmember jean quan's car got booted for not paying parking tickets, there is some gloating. so the mayor comes out and there is a boot on her car and she got the boot for $1,000 in tickets. what you do you think? >> i think it's great. i think that she has learned her lesson. >> public officials should not be above the law. and, you know, they have to -- if they are going to set policies about parking, then they have abide by them, as well. so i think that there is a message there somewhere. >> reporter: but it's more serious to coffee shop owner smoky who says parking fees have hurt the district. >> preying on our clientele has hurt us tremendously. it's never really come back fully. >> reporter: councilmember quan wasn't talking about the boot found on her car tuesday. but a receptionist told us the same thing a staffer told "chronicle" and cbs 5 reporter phil matier on tuesday. that quan was in meetings all day and unavailable for comment.

jean quan issued a statement about an hour and a half ago to us which said she was pretty busy running for mayor and did accumulate tickets and when it came to her attention, she paid them. of course, we know, allen, that it came to her attention because she had that boot on the car. >> that's exactly what the boot is for, to get your attention. >> reporter: yes, certainly does. >> all right. don knapp, thank you. for days, we have heard about a brewing revolt among the flying public the so-called opt out protest that would put the boot on holiday air travel. well, today nothing but smooth sailing at your local airport. a handful of demonstrators greeted passengers outside sfo. they called for passengers to forego the body scan which they say is too revealing for the patdown procedure, which they say is too invasive. the goal of the internet-driven boycott, to slow down security lines. >> if we have no rights because we're afraid, because the government is making us afraid

of terrorists, then they have succeeded. >> i think the people protest having living in some kind of dream world. and i don't think the tsa is going home dreaming about any of us who go through. >> that woman protested the protestors. despite the demonstrations and the normal holiday bustle at the airport, one traveler said it took longer to get a cup of coffee than to pass through screening. head out shoppping over the next couple of weeks and you are going to hear it. >> you ever had a card with us? >> you want to open one with us? >> fine print that may make you think twice before opening a store credit card. i was exhausted. i'm sleeping 16 hours a night. i couldn't stay awake for 8 hours. >> the problem was lyme disease but while you probably heard of it, do you know what it is? why that question sparked a furious debate among doctors. farmers are bracing for subzero temperatures tonight. the question is, will there be frozen fruit on these trees in the morning? plus what you can do to protect

your plants. that's just ahead and you will want to protect those plants, pets and people because we have temperatures dipping below freezing. i will point out those coldest locations and serve up your holiday forecast coming up. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

chilling start to the long d. this morning, sure feels like the holidays, all across the bay area a bone-chilling start to the long weekend. this morning, pleasanton was down in the 30s. other areas dipped into the 20s. think that's cold? the thermometer is going to dip to record lows overnight. now, these freezing temperatures have some local farmers sweating out the cold snap. they are worried about their crops and their livelihoods especially in this economy. len ramirez at the family farm

in san jose where they are worried about the oranges just coming into peak season. len. >> reporter: exactly right. this time of year in this part of northern california, most of the crops are already in with the exception of citrus. as you can see from the trees behind me, they are just now coming into season almost ripe now so this frost really comes at the worst possible time. this 14-acre orange grove is one of the last of its kind in the santa clara valley but 400 tons of fruit are at the mercy of mother nature. subfreezing temperatures could wipe out the crop just as it should be ripening. it's just one of many cash crops that could be ruined. >> there is an arctic freeze coming down from canada and it's supposed to get pretty frosty. >> reporter: wanda runs this san jose nursery. she says there are some pricey popular plants that need to be protected. the most vulnerable are also some of the most colorful, although native to warmer climates. >> your banana, hibiscus and bougainvilla is most common. but anything that's generally tropical.

some of the palm trees like the pygmy date palms can sustain some damage and young plans that -- and young plants that are newly planted that haven't had time to establish like citrus trees. >> reporter: she says customers have also been coming in for products to protect plants like frost cloth. an old sheet will also do. there is also a product called cloud cover that you can spray directly on plant leaves to prevent frost damage. >> we tell them other things they can do, moving plants under the eaves, wrapping christmas lights around them, a lot of things you can do to protect your plants. >> reporter: at the san jose rose garden miles recommends wateringroots and building a mound of plants dirt around the main stalk to insulate it. but things are going to be colder. >> there are going to be instances where the frost will turn the leaves brown and they will exfoliate off.

>> reporter: and since the sun went down about an hour ago, the temperature has been dropping like a rock out here in the orchards. these trees, as i mentioned, are just coming into the time when they would be ripening. that means they would be putting on a lot more sugar and farmers say with that sugar they would be able to withstand frost a little bit better. as it is now, most of them are still green and they won't be able to survive if the temperature gets too low. >> len, is the farm able to do anything to try to offset the frost that's coming? >> reporter: in other parts of the bay area, this is really unusual because it's right here in the middle of san jose. so they're limited in terms of what they can do. in days gone by they used to put oil pots out here to try to generate heat around the trees. in the tulare county area they have big fans where they can operate. but there's housing and business all around here so this grower is one of the last until the area, very limited. he probably can only watch and

wait to see what happens. >> thank you, len ramirez. the storm that hit the sierra this week is being called the largest modernday storm in terms of snowfall to hit in november. that's what some ski resorts are saying. anywhere from 6 to 9 feet of snow fell at many of the resorts. thanksgiving holiday conditions are expected to be the best ski resorts have seen in a decade. >> all right. well, let's find out from roberta what else is coming at us. >> another freeze warning in effected for the second night in the bay area. plan on three cold nights because we will serve up another freeze watch by thanksgiving night into your friday. take a look at the current conditions once the sun did set as len ramirez was alluding to. numbers beginning to drop off rapidly. menlo park along the peninsula, 45. campbell to the south 43. to the north, 42 in sonoma. and pleasanton now just flirting with 40 degrees under crystal clear skies. freeze warning in effect for the northern and also the eastern portions of our bay

area district. a frost advisory for everybody else as temperatures tumble into the 20s and 30s. overnight we'll pinpoint those coldest location pretty much right around san francisco 39 degrees is the forecast overnight low. that will shatter a record setback in 1892. 118-year-old record. we should see a record in oakland as well and santa rosa, very close. those will be the closest temperatures right there santa rosa through san rafael as far as record lows are concerned. temperatures into the 20s inland, 30s closer to the bay of water. in fact it was 31 in half moon bay overnight. if you are out and about within the next 60 minutes, temperatures in the 40s to the low 50s. cold air mass has just snuggled into the bay area. not going anywhere very quickly. in fact, we'll have very little recovery as far as afternoon highs are concerned. 50s in throughout the central valley, 38 in the high sierra and snow there on saturday. our numbers only basically

between let's say 50 and 55 degrees. winds flat for thanksgiving. but again, another freeze watch in effect by thanksgiving night. there is the extended forecast. on friday lots of sunshine until we'll increase the cloud cover by midnight. that will lead to rain showers saturday, clearing out rapidly through sunday. and offshore flow kicks in monday through wednesday. we have a getaway thanksgiving forecast coming up later on in this newscast. >> thank you. holiday shopping well under way, retailers trying to pitch their store credit cards by offering a discount. might sound like a good idea but before you go searching for those savings by opening store cards, consumerwatch reads the fine print for you. reporter: go shopping this holiday season and you're likely to get the store credit card sales pitch. >> did you want to try to open one today? >> you have a card with us? >> my bet is there are more people in stores hawking credit cards for the stores than may even be hawking merchandise.

>> reporter: adam levin of credit.com says it's no secret stores want you to pay with their plastic. >> store credit cards tend to come with much higher interest rates. >> reporter: and how! many of the nation's largest retailers are now charging close to 30% interest on their store cards! an average of 24%. nearly double your general purpose credit card good at anyplace you shop. now a new york lawmaker was to make the high price of store credit clearer. he wants to force stores to post their interest rates annual fees and their grace periods right here at the register. and there is another downside to store credit cards. every time you apply for one, it's a ding on your credit score. applying for a handful of cards at once creates a dent. >> it's a red flag and they look at you more closely wondering why you needed to go to so many places in order to get credit. >> reporter: still, store cards have some benefit. many offer teaser deals like big savings on your first purchase. >> if you open the card would you get 4% off the outerwear.

>> if you open an account today you can get 20% off. >> reporter: that could be handy this holiday season just as long as you remember to pay off the balance before the grace period is up. >> the money you may save today could come around and haunted you at a future date if you run a balance. >> reporter: julie watts, cbs 5 consumerwatch. think you know a little something about lyme disease? think again. why some doctors can't even agree on what it really is much less how to treat it. that's in two minutes. ,, people! look at you! texting...blogging... all this technology, but you're still banking like pilgrims! it's time for new school banking, bubbie. interest plus savings at capitalone.com. why earn bupkis,

debate going on in the medical world over lyme disease. as dr. kim mulvihill explains, there is a heated debate going on in the medical world over lyme disease. dr. kim mulvihill explains physicians with strong feelings are lining up on both sides. reporter: it's a fundraiser for spark, a group of young bay area professionals dedicated to helping women worldwide.

among the black tie crowd, spark cofounder mona. the bandage on her arm is the only telltale sign of her illness. it covers a catheter through which she takes daily iv antibiotics for late-stage lyme disease. >> i was exhausted. sleeping 16 hours, couldn't stay awake, couldn't remember things. >> she is in third stage. she has lyme in her central central nervous system and the brain. there is a war on what it is. >> reporter: she believes the criteria used to diagnose lyme disease are too narrow so many patients are misdiagnosed. >> there is a problem with a lot of people having a disease that is being diagnosed as everything from fibromyalgia to depression to panic attack. >> reporter: ucsf's dr. richard jacobs an infectious disease expert strongly disagrees. >> the infectious disease

society of america based on in evidence in the literature that lyme disease is a well defined disease. >> reporter: lyme disease comes from the bite of a tick found in wooded areas where there are lots of deer, like here in marin county. and while most cases are treated with just a month of antibiotics, some patients suffer much longer. dr. green says mona's ongoing symptoms are a sign of ongoing infection. >> if the patient remains ill, there is an active infection. there is a bug in there that you have to continue to try to reduce in number. >> reporter: how? with months and in some cases even years of iv antibiotics. >> where's the evidence for that? where does it come from? show me one study that says that therapy for six or seven months is doing the patient any good whatsoever. >> reporter: dr. jacobs says vague symptoms like headaches, fatigue, i, insomnia, muscle

aches and pains are not related to the therapy. >> the therapy is not conventional. not indicated. might be harmful. and i can certainly understand why insurance companies don't want to pay for it. >> reporter: that's right. insurance companies also factor into the lyme wars. >> blue shield's letter of denial said that according to their standards and medical guidelines, there was no longer than 8 days of treatment necessary. >> the insurance companies as near as i can see have chosen the least expensive standard of care. >> reporter: that hasn't stopped mona. she is still up for the fight. >> it's a lifesaver. none of us lyme patients take medication for enjoyment. we do it because we know that's what's helping and what's i'm going to do to get better. >> reporter: there are risks for the antibiotics. the number of patients taking [ indiscernible ] have had to had

their gall bladders removed, infection in the catheter and bacterial resistance from overusing boats boat. so lots of hot topics. just one issue. >> all right. kim, thank you. across the bay area, plenty of old theaters have been restored and plenty more that still need to be saved. but tonight, one of them has a new future. how it will be reborn thanks to afghanistan. and what you need to know before the bird goes under the knife. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

line with the a-c- l-u. such is safer to say it is an odd occurrence when the drudge report is in line with the aclu. such as the case with the body scan patdown tempest. regardless, it looks like most americans despite any misgivings decided to opt in. today a few protestors outside of sfo called for passengers to forego the body scan, which is too revealing for the patdown procedure which they say is too invasive. they wanted to slow down security lines. but barely anyone participated. one woman at sfo protested the protestors saying the tsa is

just trying to keep us safe. among those voicing privacy concerns, the transgendered. the national center for transgender equality says that new rules could humiliate those travelers and make them targets for verbal and sexual harassment. during the scans, tsa screeners might perceive their bodies as different so they might have to go through patdowns which would out them as transgender. the center encourages those passengers to report any discrimination. a new television studio and satellite network is coming to the bay area. now, the plan is for it to take over a vacant movie theater in the heart of little cobble. mike sugerman on the new afghan broadcasting network. ♪ [ music ] >> reporter: 9-year-old lily could be the youngest network talk show host in the world. >> i go on the table with my friend my next-door neighbor and we just sit there and try practice and my mom tells me what to do and stuff.

many states in afghanistan, you know, so -- a lot of history about afghanistan. >> reporter: think, are you smarter than a fifth grade afghan. with a theater for tv shows, movies, concerts, workshops, it's hoped this will be a destination for afghans around the u.s. politics? religion? that's not on the schedule. and one man who monitors the tv thinks that's smart. >> not healthy to discuss them. it will take their minds off that. ♪ sunshine and sky and seabright smile ♪ everything i want to see of your future ♪ >> reporter: watch for lily and her kids variety show and the rest of the network to start up sometime next year. mike sugerman, cbs 5, fremont. >> a south bay school is taking major steps toward energy independence. thuy vu shows us what's so

smart about santa clara's smart grid. reporter: the solar panels are here. the wind turbine arrived last month. santa clara university is now on course to become the first college in the bay area to install a smart grid generating measuring and controlling its own electricity. >> the first goal is to give us reliable energy. the second goal is to give us some ability to control the cost of energy. >> reporter: computer software monitors when demand exceeds supplies or when buildings aren't in use. lights are then automatically dimmed and service vents are turned up to cut down on air conditioning. when rooms are empty, the lights go off. >> our software allows the university to gather data about their facility, analyze that data in methods that would not be otherwise easy for them to do. >> reporter: brian knows the campus well. he was a student here and helped build a green energy home to compete in the 2007

international solar decathlon competition. santa clara university placed third that year. he is now a software architect, proving he says that green energy is where the jobs are. >> green technology is one of those fields where the industry -- the total available market out there is enormous. >> reporter: and the potential savings are also enormous. santa clara university expects to eventually cut energy use by as much as 50% and trim 20% off energy costs. the grid also provides a backup plan in case disaster strikes. >> an example would be katrina in new orleans where they had to close their university for six months. students came to santa clara university and eventually graduated from santa clara university. well, we don't want our students going somewhere else. >> reporter: the goal is to have the university generate enough power through green sources like this to keep it

going even during natural disasters and power outages. ultimately having enough power to keep classes running for six months. a smart idea with the help of a smart grid. in santa clara, thuy vu, cbs 5. it's an awesome setting for lessons in music and life. >> it's just utterly amazing. it continues after all these years to be a real joy for me. >> music under the redwoods is magical for more than the audience. how kids are nurturing their talents at a special camp. >> now that we have settled the tryptophan mystery, the bigger question: what is the right way to carve a turkey? what stanford coach jim harbaugh thinks is an insult to his players and memorial stadium a final ride before going under the knife. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

night and the racoons, you had to creep out and make sure there were no raccoons out there. >> reporter: he was behind the mic and after 35 years, is he looking forward to a brand-new press box. >> believe me, i'm looking forward very strongly to a real broadcast booth with genuine space and the ability to see the field without looking around corners. >> reporter: strawberry canyon goes into hibernation until 2012. the bears will take their game to at&t park next season which will have all the comforts of home. except for one thing. >> i think one thing that people forget is where are you going to put tightwa hill? >> they will have to have someplace for the cheapskates to find a way to watch the game for nothing.
