. from cbs news bay area, this is the evening edition. now at 11:00, mother's day in the bay means lots of brunch, days out in the park and plenty of pampering. we're also remembering a local civil rights icon and his lasting impact helping san francisco's most vulnerable. and not one, but two break-ins in a single night

leading the chef of a popular restaurant to question his future in oakland. >> oakland gave me this, but it's a hard thing to say. where would i go? my heart is still here. my heart is broken right now. >> good evening. i'm brian hackney. >> i'm andrea nakano. it's hard enough for restaurants to survive in the post covid economy, but multiple break-ins like this one sometimes on the very same night are making it nearly impossible for a former top chef in oakland. >> jose martinez has the story. >> reporter: business in oakland has become increasingly different for restaurants where the owner here tells me he's about to give up after his business got broken into twice in the same day. herman, a well known chef of a popular dominican restaurant in downtown oakland is voicing his frustration after experiencing a series of burglaries last friday. >> basically an hour and a half apart from each other and that

devastated us. to wake up to that to see two people taking everything from the bar, filling up garbage bins full of our products, things that we they'd to survive. >> reporter: look at these videos that captured the moment when these individuals broke into his restaurant. he says they took at least $6,000 worth of liquor, the eighth time his business has been hit. >> it's heartbreaking and for the first time ever because people know me, i'm always the one who is uplifting others, always heal, always has a smile, but this is the first time i ever felt deflated really down and kind of out. >> reporter: he decided to share his frustration on social media. >> i'm heartbroken. i'm angry. >> reporter: highlighting the ongoing struggle faced by many small business owners in the area. >> a real voice that told people i'm exhausted. i'm tired. i just feel super bad what was happening. i'm angry not just for us, for others, too, who have been hit throughout this, an increase in restaurants and other small

businesses getting broken into. it hurts us. it's our livelihoods, our babies. >> reporter: our baby he says is not ready to give up yet. it's part of his dream to share his dominican roots with the bay area, but he says he's even thinking about leaving oakland if things don't get better. >> it was the first and only dominican restaurant in all the west coast and there's a lot of on the east coast where i'm from, but here we're the only ones. we're super unique. there's nothing like it. for me it, makes me happy to be in this space. >> reporter: customers showed up in large numbers this mother's day to show some support. one of them was doris and her family who stopped by after visiting the oakland zoo. she tells me what a shame because these small businesses need to sell to survive and it's always hard with all this crime because people think twice before coming, but it's that support that chef nelson says gives him hope at least for now. >> oakland gave me this. it made me realize my dreams. so i'll always be indebted to oakland. i'll always be

grateful, so i want to stay here, but i do want to expand to other cities. it's a hard thing to say. where would i go? i haven't really thought about it because my heart is still here. my heart's like broken right now, but you never know where it goes, but the community doesn't want me to go. >> reporter: chef nelson tells me he wants to see a more aggressive approach from the police to fight crime in this part of the city. >> we reached out to the oakland police department for comment but have not heard back. the new chief, floyd mitchell, officially took the reins of the department this week. if you were out and around the bay this afternoon, there's a chance you saw the billowing smoke from the port of oakland. those flames are knocked down now, but this is what firefighters were dealing with earlier. fire broke out from a lithium battery plant at the port. it took about an hour for firefighters to put out the flames and the view from oracle park, smoke rose in the distance as seen from the left field bleachers, hung around a few hours while crews battled the flames, but most of it had

dissipated near sunset. the santa clara county sheriff's department is swearing in a new reserve deputy tomorrow morning, but he's a little bit older than your average recruit. da lin caught up with a former executive turned peace officer to find out why in his mid-60s he's starting a new career in law enforcement. >> reporter: on most days you'll find this man on the move, working on something even though he retired four years ago. >> i was a marketing executive over 35 years in hi-tech. >> reporter: but bob yee is about to come out of retirement and do something quite different from his previous career. >> reserve deputy sheriff santa clara county. >> reporter: he will join the reserve unit on monday, serving as a part-time deputy for santa clara county. >> finishing my business career, i felt a different calling. >> reporter: bob says it wasn't an overnight decision. he first volunteered as a safety ambassador in oakland chinatown after hearing of

attacks on asian seniors during the pandemic. he then organized a workshop to train people in how to use pepper spray to defend themselves. he also attended events to support crime victims. >> and this journey with helping the community out, advocating for victims of violent crimes, has been much more fulfilling for me and i want to continue this journey in law enforcement. >> reporter: at 66 years old, bob was the oldest in his police academy. his youngest colleague was 23 years old. he said his good shape and physical health helped him get through the academy. >> arrest control techniques. we learned about vehicle operations. we learned about shooting. >> reporter: after monday he'll begin months of field training and chances are bob will not be doing felony search warrants or sprinting full speed to chase after bad guys. he says he would like to do more community policing where he can use his life experience to engage with the community and businesses.

he also wants to incorporate more technology to prevent and solve crime. >> it involves taking a lot of the business skills that i've had in my prior career and applying them towards law enforcement. >> reporter: his wife jill uyeda said she's seen bob's transformation and he's much happier in this new career. >> i actually thought he would have a retirement career or hobby that was building things. i didn't think he would be like building community. so i was very pleased to hear that. i think it's a noble thing to be doing. >> reporter: his entire family supports his work and bob says he's excited to serve the community. >> i'm committed to the second career. in fact, i'm awaiting anxiously the pinning on of the badge by my wife. >> reporter: bob turns 67 next month. he says don't let age limit what you can do. if you put in the work, he says it's never too late to go after your dreams. well, families everywhere not only celebrated mother's day, but also the mostly pleasant weather that went with

it today. at santana row families were sitting down to brunch pampered. >> we're the only two moms in the family and it's been beautiful. >> this woman does so much for us. there's no one i'd rather spend the day with. >> mother's day is the busiest weekend for restaurants all year. the national retail federation says nearly 60% of people celebrating mother's day did so by going to a restaurant. >> we do not want to cook on mother's day, but for those moms who wanted a more unique celebrations, look no further than the college of adaptive arts in san jose. they're celebrating moms with a lowrider car show. >> we made it. it's so beautiful. i'm so happy and then to all the mamas and my mom over there, happy mother's day to all the mamas in the

world! >> you can't go wrong with flowers as a gift on mother's day and today the san francisco rose society held its 83rd annual rose show. rose enthusiasts had a chance to show case their finest flowers and people stopped by to check out and smell the roses. they also had a chance to learn from the gardeners about what it takes to grow the flowers. a memorial service today honoring the life of reverend cecil williams. >> the legendary pastor, community leader, and social justice activist was the co-founder of san francisco's glide memorial church. >> when the saints go marching in, cecil will be in the number, yeah. >> reverend williams took over a struggling glide methodist church in 1963. he brought music to the tenderloin and messages of compassion. he was both a preacher and a respected

civil rights leader. >> and doing this work cecil and jan always stood on the front lines against racism, against homophobia, against occupation, against war. they always stood for love. >> his life was and still is a profound and powerful demonstration of living one's purpose and truth with conviction and commitment. >> and when homelessness and poverty took over the tenderloin, reverend williams became a leading advocate and source of comfort for those in need, a legacy that lives on in glide's ongoing service to the community. >> everybody's focused on themselves, yes, but when you come up out of that, that m■eans you must be a heck of a guy. >> i've always talked about changing the world and i really believe that we have touched many people from all over the

world. >> he retired as pastor of glide methodist church in 2000 but was given the title of minister of liberation so that he could continue to serve the church and the community. still ahead tonight at 11:00, how a south bay community is working to keep their south asian culture alive for the next generation. and lake tahoe is almost full for the first time in years, why it could mean fewer people enjoying the lake's beaches this spring and summer. coming up in the first alert forecast, don't think of it so much as losing the aurora borealis in the northern lights. rather you should think of it as gaining the marine layer because both of those are happening. we'll talk about what that means for temperatures. we started cooling down. today was the day. i'll show you what that means for any kind of pattern going into the week, forecast coming right up.

welcome back. lake tahoe expected to fill up the first time in five years because of two very wet winters in a row. the snowpack peaked above medium levels ending the year between 108 to 244% of average. lake tahoe basin snowpack is at 102%, but with the lake expected to fill up now from all that melting snow, trying to find a spot in the sand could be a problem for visitors because of the higher the water, the less the beach.

so it could shrink the shoreline. that's the downside. there's always a cloud behind that silver lining. >> yeah, there is. speaking of there's always a cloud, you guys mind getting your pant legs a little damp right now? >> sure. >> because you both happen to be standing in the marine layer. >> am i really? it's bad for my hair. >> could do wonders actually. we had it this morning. marine layer came on. so we've gotten into may. it's may gray. you know june gloom is the first one of those people started throwing around. then it started expanding. we're in may gray. thankfully, we didn't have to live through grapril this year. >> oh, that's very good. >> none of these are mine. >> still very good. >> i just read that one. >> shall we let you do all this? >> yeah. let's do this. we'll pick up the story as you find your way through the murkiness of the marine layer out here. this has been a much more notable aspect for us, as it should for this time of year. let's look on some of the

forecast imagery to track this over the next 12 hours because you can see plenty of marine layer off the coast. it's just now creeping through the golden gate and you know the pattern by now if you've been here long enough. on good days it will fill in the entire bay and that's what's going to happen tomorrow. this is the high resolution rapid refresh that has given us a gift over the last five years to be able to see and visualize in pretty accurate detail how the marine layer will behave. you can see it filling in the valleys and through the petaluma gap into santa rosa. that's napa valley. you'll have your share of it and most of the bay it. shouldn't impact much of the tri-valley tomorrow morning. then we get to the later hours. you can watch it melt back except it hangs on right through the golden gate. that's such a beautiful representation of how it virtually goes almost every day this year, but we're just

starting the pattern to see it go. when i say every day, when we get into the season, may, june, july, no sky july. that's the pattern. this does have a pretty big impact on the way it's going to feel for temperatures. let's put some numbers on this virtual map. you'll see an old familiar pattern shows up here. these are tomorrow's daytime highs. let's get a view of half moon bay. half moon bay is sitting on the coast for san mateo county. pick out your number. you're in the mid-50s. come over here to oakland, a little warmer, low 60s, keep going inland. you'll be in the mid-70s for concord. keep going from there, 82 in antioch. so this line stretching from inland over there out to half moon bay which hopefully you can still kind of see on the bottom of the screen in the mid-50s really does paint that picture for the microclimates. santa clara, 80s tomorrow for the valley. we're grouping san

jose and los gatos in there and the tri-valley going to 77. we talked about the marine layer building in tonight. that's not the biggest reason why you probably won't be able to see much of the aurora borealis. that was friday night. that was really good. there was last night. it wasn't as good. here's the forecast for tonight, much less of it. when you get into the red and orange, there's a pretty high degree of confidence you'll be able to see something. it's dwindling. the amount of energy pulled into the atmosphere that way has been steadily going down from this particular event. we're still in a very active solar cycle. if you like that kind of thing, keep your hopes up. let's look at the seven-day forecast. you'll see what happens. we'll look at our inland microclimate first, temperatures staying put, right around 80 for the next seven days and when we do the same thing for the interior of the bay, that microclimate shows us you're staying about 10 degrees cooler and staying put pretty much right through the whole thing. don't expect a lot of change going forward on

either of these. yeah, stay right there. hold it. you're going to head that terrain ium. hang on. >> it's always magical being here. >> isn't it fun? >> thanks for co. coming up after the break, how the bay is celebrating south asian culture. the massive injury bug again has hit the giants. >> i didn't have a great feeling about it. >> this time is a great time to be a baller. >> we'll be here for you. we are here in the town. and a poker playing couple wants to deal you a hand. >> i don't play soft against him. he doesn't play soft against me. >> that and more on "gamed (upbeat music) - this is the new pix+
