note 11:00, the fair is supposed to be a place for family fun but -- >> we were here last year and there were a lot of fights. plus , some might call it one of the most undesirable jobs in san francisco. we join workers who come to face to face with an issue everyday no

one can seem to agree on. it is an essential part of growing up in northern california, celebrating a century of the giant dipper. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hi, i am sara donchey. we made it to the weekend and in the spirit of that, it is a fun friday night out. you're trying to figure out what to do, something family-friendly. summer is almost here and it is the time of year for the fair is an option once again but the contra costa county fair at one point may not have been so family-friendly depending who you ask. seems like this come to mind. that was an all-out brawl, video from the fair last may. things got so bad that fair organizers decided they wanted to do something about it. their idea, chaperones.

>> reporter: this policy was put into place last year for the last day of the fair after several fights broke out in one day. the fair board in the off-season made it official to continue enforcing this policy for all four days of the fair. that means if you are 18 and under, you have to have a chaperone that is at least 25 years old to get in. the contra costa county fair is back open for its 88th year. bethany collins is a chaperone. she brought her 12-year-old son in a couple of his friends. she says it's nothing like it was last year. >> we were here last year and there were a lot of fights and it got kind of sketchy toward the night, so i really do feel safe. >> reporter: collins is here with her entire family last year when she witnessed one of the malays. >> we were over in the smaller kid area and i don't know what happened but it was like a big

swarm of people and they were knocking over the railing on the rides and yeah. >> reporter: jill is the ceo of the contra costa county fell. >> it's kind of celebration for the county. >> ringel says the fair is not seen the large afterschool crowd but something had to be done to keep the fair and enjoyable experience for everyone. >> we were seeing a lot of teenagers basically getting dropped off and had nothing to do but cause problems, so we we wanted everybody coming to the fair to feel safer. >> reporter: among the teens at the fair, the chaperone policy is getting mixed reviews. >> it's the sort of place kids go to have fun without their parents. >> i think it's a good way of protecting everyone in the parks. i feel like we've had a lot of dangerous incidents of the is going to keep us safer and more fun for everyone else. >> most of the families love the new policy and hope it is here to stay. collins so she has been impressed with how the

staff is enforcing the policy inside the fair. >> we've actually been stopped a couple of times by security just making sure that the kids are with me. >> the fair runs through the sunday at the family fairground in antioch. bay to breakers is back sunday morning in san francisco. here are some of our favorite outfits from last year. there were a lot of them. of course, these are only the ones we can show you. sometimes the preferred outfit of renters is no outfit at all. paul, i know that wouldn't be your choice. is it going to be nippy? >> one way or the other, yeah, probably but it's going to be on the cool side so i closed is the way to go. temperatures are going to be in the 50s throughout the run. the difference on sunday compared to the weather we've had for

the last several days as i think the sun is going to peek through a little bit earlier so there will be some glimmers of sunshine even as the races starting and that is runners approach the coast, the breakers should even see some peeks of sunshine. but, temperatures in the 50s throughout. giants are playing an afternoon game tomorrow against the colorado river rockies. temperatures will be in the low 60s at game time and throughout. you should see plenty of sunshine during the afternoon and if you were heading out to the contra costa county fair in antioch, quite a bit warmer , temperatures topping out around 80 degrees saturday and sunday. more of a warm-up for inland parts of the bay area as we head into early next week. we will talk more about that in just a few minutes. the details on the race, the 7 mile race starts at 8:00 sunday near maine and howard street and ends at ocean beach. entrances to golden gate park will be closed, several of them, and the street closures actually begin tomorrow night so plan for that. muni is going to be rerouted because of the race, as usual. mondays san francisco

mayoral debate has been canceled after almost everyone participating dropped out. mayor breed, eric peskin and daniel lori all pulled out of the debate hosted by the nonprofit, together sf. breed says the organization has troubling ties with another major candidate , former mayor mark ferrell, who she is running against. something none of the candidates can fully agree on is how to handle the city's homeless encampments. the issue of whether they can be cleared out has made it all the way to the supreme court. lauren thoms went along with a man who was in charge of cleaning up encampments in the city and gives us a look at his day today. >> reporter: this encampment in the mission is about to be torn down. to most people it may look like another case of cardboard boxes being used by unhoused people, to darryl

dilworth, it is a clear sign of improvement. >> six months ago, both sizes the street are lined with structures like the one that you see up ahead, and tents. >> reporter: it is a daunting task, and one of the least desirable jobs in the city. the small the longer turnoff most instantly, but darryl dilworth sees his worth in the process. >> they are doing work that other workers throughout the city refused to do because it is so tedious. you are dealing with hazardous materials in dealing with human feces. you are dealing with urine. you are dealing with unknown substances, needles, and not many city employees really want to deal with that. >> reporter: a native san franciscan, he is on a mission to not only restore the city streets to the beauty beneath, but provide dignity to the process. that has not always been the case. >> they would just come and take it out and throw all your stuff away. no respect, no

communication. >> reporter: the encampment being cleared here belong to john, who spent most of his life unhoused in the mission but today, accepted housing offered by part of the multiagency team tasked with clearing the area. this process of clearing encampments has seen a huge overhaul in the last five years but remains a controversial process at the center of the supreme court battle over who can legally live on the street. >> as long as they respect us we respect them and we just clean up real quick and go. >> reporter: 72 hours ago, flyers like these were being posted, letting those in the area for this cleaning would take place but each experience is unique. dilworth says here, an individual with mental illness is resistant to the progress us, -- process, an encounter that is becoming increasingly more common. >> there resistant to us taking personal items, stuff that we deem unsalvageable. like i said, soiled with feces .

>> reporter: the situation was on the verge of escalating but quickly dampened when a firefighter steps in. >> were going to see if we can get you in a better spot. >> reporter: the man accepted housing and services, a test of how this process is intended to work. in a rare case of added red tape having a positive effect. >> it makes me feel happy that we are making positive progress. we are not just moving individuals, we are offering them services. we are offering them a chance to get out of the situation, into a better situation, and it gives us an opportunity in the process to actually clean and sanitize the streets, as well. >> reporter: testing soiled items and policies behind to make room for cleaner times ahead.

news anchors in l.a. cover their fair share of chases.

well pursuits. this one that happened earlier this morning in brentwood is especially crazy. officers say started when a female driver bactroban into an lapd cruiser. two officers got hurt then they say she got on the 405 freeway, slammed into another police cruiser. at one point, officers try to do a pit maneuver but the van spun around and then this happened. she started driving on the wrong side of the road into traffic right there, hitting multiple cars until a semitruck blocked her path. the chaos did not end there. the driver got out of the van, climbed on top onto the semi truck. the truck driver says this is what she did next. >> reporter: you didn't open the door? >> out of nowhere that white van came careening into us, hit the car in front of me then slid into my car and you can see that car stopped. i can see the driver for my drivers side window. she was pinned inside the van. i was terrified so i immediately jumped out of my car and came over to the shoulder because i did not know

if that person without -- was armed with a gun or knife, but they wanted to do. >> reporter: you can see how that might've been a confusing situation. the woman was taken into custody and taken to the hospital. the two officers who got hurt in the crash were also hospitalized, but they were expected to be okay. not sure what's going on down there or why she felt the need to do that. there is no easy way to segue into our calm water -- weather pattern after that. let's talk about our weather as we head into the weekend. we are in for some subtle changes as we had through this weekend. there is a storm system headed to the

pacific northwest that is going to send all of its moisture and energy up to the north but it is going to be close enough to reduce the weight of the atmosphere on top of us in the bay area so the marine layer and fog and cloud cover are going to be a little bit deeper tomorrow which means the fog might be more stubborn than us that storm system slides to the east there is a wind shift that kicks in allowing fog and low clouds on sunday to break up a little bit faster so i mentioned earlier that for beta breakers the sun might be peeking through the clouds already in san francisco by 8:00 or so but for right now, the fog and clouds are definitely hanging out, just shrouding the top of salesforce tower. temperatures are in the 50s across the board, 51 right now in santa rosa. everybody is going to be in the 50s later on tonight. we are going to see fog spreading inland as we had through tomorrow morning but it should back up out of the inland valleys pretty quickly and will take a little bit longer for it to make its way back to the coast. we are going to be seeing the low cloud cover being the stubborn right along the coast. tough to shake them a gray this time of year so temperatures are going to be slow to warm up even was the fog retreats to the coast by about midday. tonight we see lows dropping into the low to mid 50s in the santa clara

valley and across the bay area. 54 is one of the least cool spots. hardly any difference from far inland to along the coast. there is an exception. temperatures in the north bay and some of the valleys are collecting cool air a bit more efficiently so you are likely to drop into the upper 40s by tomorrow morning. let's take a look at tomorrow's forecast high temperatures making it up to what is normal for this time of year. 50s along the coast, 60s around the bay with 70s inland. some of the warmest spots around 80 degrees in the north bay because the fog hangs on a little bit longer, temperatures topping out in the upper 60s. we have a warming trend that will kick in even in san francisco by monday, tuesday and wednesday with temperatures in the upper 60s to near 70 house we headed to memorial day weekend and the ups and downs are much more

noticeable further inland. livermore gets up to mid-80s on tuesday then starts dropping off and also, below average temperatures expected for memorial day weekend. it is still beyond the scope of the seven-day forecast for now. monday, tuesday and wednesday will be the warmest day getting up to the low to mid 80s inland then we get back to what is normal for thursday and friday before we head into the holiday weekend. the warm-up sends temperatures into the low to mid 70s for a few days then back down into the 60s while along the coast i can't say you're going to feel a tremendous warm-up but what you are going to see is more sunshine for a few days, even coastal locations getting a break from the may gray sunday, monday, and tuesday, lusting a little bit longer each day and back and overcast conditions by thursday and friday with highs in the upper 50s. >> paul, thank you. we will be ready for all of it . if you

grew up in northern california or you are raising kids your chances are you've been to the santa cruz beach boardwalk and there is nothing more iconic about it than the giant dipper, the wooden roller coaster that is the oldest in the state. it turned 100 today. paul dudley shows us what it takes to keep a ride rolling for a century. >> reporter: there is something to be said about the way it sounds. and, the way it looks. >> i like the adrenaline when you first go onto a roller coaster. it's fun to see the view. >> reporter: with a view like this, elevation about 70 feet above sea level, you can't help but smile. you saw my reaction. >> yeah, big smile. that's what we love. >> reporter: the giant dipper at the santa cruz beach boardwalk standing the test of time and leaving a lasting mark on thrill seekers. what kind of feelings do you get when you ride the giant dipper? >> just happy. >> i like the excitement, like

all the people. >> i like how it is exhilarating and has that excitement without having the complete terror. >> reporter: these are the feelings of just a few people we met after the got off the giant dipper just shy of its 100 year anniversary. how do you keep a roller coaster running for 100 years? >> we take great care of this coaster. we have a dedicated team of coaster mechanics who work on the giant dipper and our other roller coasters every day. >> reporter: coaster mechanics like meal accompanied me on my right. he walks the tracks every single day and expects -- inspects the train, too. 100 years ago, it took 47 days to build the coaster, and cost $50,000. it opened saturday, may 17th, 1924 and became one of the most popular roller

coasters in the country and was named a national historic landmark in 1987. over the years, big blockbusters have featured the giant dipper including santa cruz classic, "the lost boys." >> it lets you experience the coaster along with the actors. >> reporter: more special than hollywood is the generalization all connection of a roller coaster that's been around for a century. >> it reminds me of when i was a kid and my parents took me on the giant dipper. >> a few years ago my great grandma came here with me and she wanted to go on here and so we went on together and it was such a special moment. >> i wrote this ride with my grandparents, my parents, my son, and people pass that tradition. >> reporter: as we move from the first century of the giant dipper to the next, the question remains, what will the next hundred years bring? >> our plans for the next hundred years are to do the exact same thing we've done, which is run it every summer

here in santa cruz. it will be rolling for another hundred years. >> still scared of it. the official anniversary celebration starts tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. there will be a fireworks show on the main beach at 9:30 p.m. the strachan project earth, extreme weather has been pushing wineries into the red. warming temperatures could make 70% of wine regions unsuitable for grape growing by the end of the century but now, there is another threat forcing some northern california wineries to yank out their vines. >> reporter: jw moore vineyards has been growing grapes for 100 years then distributing them to wineries across northern california. >> it's really neat to try to carry on the family legacy. >> reporter: but, operations

manager gary schafer says the operation is being threatened and has had to tear out 30% of his vineyards. >> it's a really tough decision to pull out grapevines. >> reporter: growers in this area are facing competition from overseas suppliers as well as a drop in demand. >> a lot of old-timers around here that have been around for generations of never seen it this bad. >> reporter: a new report shows wine shipments fell almost 9% in 2023. stores are adjusting inventories as consumers face change. wine remains popular with baby boomers but younger generations are choosing from a wider selection. >> it's not that they don't like wine. they just don't drink as much. >> reporter: wide manager rob mcmillan the says online deals enjoy wider options from beer and salt just to newer trends like ready to drink cocktails. >> they drink across categories, much different than we did in the 90s. >> on a sunny day like today this might grow over an inch or more. >> reporter: tom davies says willing younger americans is key. >> i think that is incumbent upon our industry to learn how we talk to this new generation.

>> reporter: it is not just the u.s. global demand is down but wine does have the test of time on its side, enjoyed for thousands of years and depriving plenty of changing trends. coming up in sports, the giants really needed a win after getting some bad news on friday, but if you think it was a rough start to today for the giants, ask scotty scheffler how his commute to work went.

♪ (ominous music) ♪ come on. what can i do to help you? dad: come on buddy. headphones. what! dad: hey! dad: ok all right. what do you wanna do? i said i don't wanna talk about it! dad: trey! what are you doin'? ♪ (ominous music) ♪ ♪ (ominous music) ♪ it's ok.

the giants did not have a great start to there friday. they learned their star free-agent signing this morning , jung hoo lee, is going to have to undergo shoulder surgery and miss the remainder of the season. the last thing giants fans wanted to see was this. thairo estrada fells and falls to the ground in pain. something where becoming too

used to seeing, the training stuff running out onto the field. luckily, just a stinger and he must've felt fine because a couple pictures later he does this. it reaches the first row of the bleachers. but, the player of the game was luis matos. he golfs one down the left field line. that is a double for matos. five runs on the night, and the giants back in the win column 10-5. same tomorrow at oracle park. a's in kansas city looking to end a five-game losing streak but the oakland bats were cold today. 1-0 in the sixth. first of two kansas city home runs. royals take it 6-2. to say i was genuinely shocked to wake up friday morning and see that scott wiener -- scottie scheffler had been arrested, reportedly avoiding a fatal scene where there was confusion with traffic's cops ended with scottie in cuffs in the felony

assault charge. he was books but returned to valhalla less than an hour before his teatime. he barely warmed up and he was not rattled. you would not know it by watching that he had been arrested a few hours earlier. he sticks the approach on the opening hole, sets up one of six birdies on the round and shot a 66 to get to nine under for the tournament. he has only two shots off the lead heading into saturday. now, let's hear about the of the course stuff. >> my situation will get handle. it was just a chaotic situation in a big misunderstanding. i can't comment on any of the specs it -- specifics of it so i feel like you all are going to be disappointed. i feel like my head is still spinning. i can't really explain what happened this morning. i did spend some time stretching in a jail cell. that was a first for me.

>> imagine waking up in the drunk tank and scottie scheffler is your cellmate. the lead the belongs to xander softly with a 3 under 68. he is now 12 under for the tournament. he has never won a major title. this is one of the most bizarre sports stories i've ever seen, to be arrested then tee off a few hours later is unheard of. >> this is probably the sport i know the least about

let me take over the sports for a minute. the crowd went wild in a philadelphia soccer game earlier this week. fans were cheering for a star player, kind of. they were acting like it was a star player who just kicked the winning goal in a world cup match. it was in the player, exactly. take a look. >> we have what seems like a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence here or at least once every so often. a raccoon has found itself on the field. much to the delight of many home fans. >> i like to see the heat map here. up and over. what a show

off. >> it's coming back. we promise you this is not the nature channel. is moving very well. >> a raccoon. >> a trash panda. perfect announcing. >> this actually delayed the philadelphia union game for about three minutes. workers spent most of that chasing the raccoon and when it came to actually ejecting him, it was not easy. >> the raccoon now avoiding even more of the individuals trying to capture him. there are three or four people . >> this one right here candace stands on right here. only in major league soccer would you find this sort of entertainment.

>> do you put the paper underneath? i actually didn't know the answer to that. it was you know, that spider thing. it took 10 workers to transfer the raccoon using that method. fans cheered when they got him off the field. at least they had something to cheer about because their team lost. now people are capitalizing on the raccoons star power. i think the raccoon was okay because i know that was kind of rough. >> yeah, they're trying to avoid actually doing permanent harm. the thing was probably scared out of its mind. and an y >> the south dakota governor defending killing her dog cricket amid growing backlash and suggested president biden's dog should have met a similar fate as her own 14-month-old
