it under control. but first, how one bay area town honoring the last living survivor of one of the worst tragedies in u.s. naval history. live from the cbs studios in san francisco, i'm brian hackney. >> and i'm andrea nakano. we begin tonight in benicia with a new monument for a world war ii veteran with quite a story to tell. >> john ramos has the emotional tribute and the top secret mission behind the tale. >> reporter: when the pandemic broke out in 2020, the town of benicia began looking for one thing that could bring everyone together, and the more they talked about it, the more it came down to one name -- harold bray. >> from various organizations around town. >> reporter: hundreds of people turned out to christen a new monument with a youthful statue of one of benicia's favorite resident, harold bray. at 17 he shipped out aboard the uss indianapolis secretly carrying the first atomic bomb. on its

return, the ship was sunk by enemy torpedos and 900 sailor, including harold, spent five days in the water trying to fight off a swarm of sharks. it was a scene made famous in the movie jaws. >> i don't know how many shark, maybe a thousand. >> it was a bad experience. there was nothing good about it. every time you looked around, somebody was gone. >> reporter: harold was one of the 300 who were saved and is now the last living survivor of that harrowing experience. the statue portrays him as that young sailor full of confidence with a little bit of swagger. >> this monument sits as a beacon of inspiration reminding us of the courage and resilience that defines the human spirit. >> reporter: later he became a bene esha police officer, fondly remembered for a 19-year career helping local kids. when city leaders began searching for a unifying symbol, the choice became pretty obvious. >> this seemed to be a

commonality between the citizens. talking to literally hundreds of people, they kept coming up with the same name over and over and over. >> reporter: but like a lot of world war ii veterans, harold rarely talked about his war experience. it was 26 years later that he finally told some of his fellow police officers that he had been aboard the indianapolis. his first cousin, eileen chavez, says his modesty hasn't changed much. >> other people tell everything they've ever done, but he's still the same way. he said why are all these people here today? >> you didn't tell anybody for a long time, right? are you glad that you finally started talking about it? >> it just part of the stuff anymore. people know what i've been through, and they like to hear the story. i don't know. >> do you think it helps you to

have gotten that out? >> it helps me to forget to talk about it. >> reporter: talking about it has helped harold cope, but he'll never really forget it, and now with the monument the hope is that others will not forget either. >> this is here permanent for years and years to come, but it is a way for us to say thank you with -- that's what that exemplifies. >> reporter: so it's a thank you and not just to harold bray but to all the other young men aboard that ship who answered a nation's call but never got to come home. >> the uss indianapolis was sunk for four days after delivering the bomb that ended the war. it is said to be the greatest loss of life from a single ship lost at sea in the history of the u.s. navy. now to a developing story. all eastbound lanes open again on interstate 80 after a grass fire on yerba buena island. fire crews put out the flames within the past hour. san francisco fire department says

it was located in a hard to reach area and it brought out a fire boat for extra help. closer look at the flames that fire crews were up against, firefighters say that it was a challenge to put out the fire because of the terrain and the strong winds. fire affected eastbound traffic on interstate 80 with a huge backup stretching into san francisco. at one point, traffic was backed up at least five miles, all the way to the 280 interchange. caltrans opened up three lanes but then eventually opened the rest. drivers should expect delays and should also use alternate routes if you can. bay to breakers back tomorrow morning in san francisco. here's some of the colorful outfits in last year's race. plenty opt for no outfit at all. darren will have something to say about that in a few minutes. it ensdz at ocean beach, a number of entrances to golden gate park will also be closed. street closures start in about an

hour. muni will also be rerouted. and for those ewho are planning to wear clothes or otherwise, darren is here to let you know how much to bundle up. >> more sunshine tomorrow than you have for the last few days in the city. and what you typically might think of for bay to breakers. before i show you tomorrow, we've got to use today as an example, because it's going to be extreme differences from what we did today. up here in the north bay, look what the marine layer was doing. strong southerly surge here was funneling this through the petaluma gap. there were places through that interior valley around santa rosa that didn't clear all day. just kind of hung on. other places did manage to get a lot more sunshine. you didn't get out of the 60s all day because of that. in your opinion the mid to upper 60s in the north bay and in the south bay you made it to 77. tomorrow is different. let's go back, and i'll show you hoe. the marine layer is not nearly as persistent and overwhelming tomorrow. you're probably going to have more clear sky

than anything else. there probably will be some marine layer in parts of the bay, maybe kind of corralled towards the east bay, but it won't be a lot. it's going to be quite different. a few clouds, sure, maybe. more sunshine, still be relatively cool, mid to upper 50s out there. so you know, dress accordingly. i'll leave that to you. all right, guys, back to you. >> all right, thank you, darren. pollution in the bay is not something many of us think about every day, but the health of our bay water is concerning enough it's prompted the federal government to take legal action. this month the environmental protection agency and the state of california sued san francisco over the amount of sewage that's getting dumped into the bay. san francisco uses a combined sewer system that collects and treats both wastewater and storm water in the same network of pipes. but during heavy rain, the system can easily overflow. and feds say that means contaminated water is being released into local creeks, the bay, and on to beaches. juliette goodrich got a firsthand look at one place

where that sewage ends up and the potential consequences for the people who live there. >> this marie ethat has 55 slips. >> reporter: bruno has docked his boat along mission creek in san francisco for more than 30 years. >> i can't even do this anymore, i'm getting too old. >> reporter: it is where people live in houseboats. >> how about that? >> reporter: mission creek is just past the giants ballpark and through two drawbridge, where bruno spends much of his time on his boat and around the water. would you swim in this water? >> i don't like to. i rarely -- no. >> reporter: because it's cold? >> it's foul. it's just not -- you know, if you swim in this water, you better take a shower afterwards. >> reporter: it's no secret untreated sewage has been spilling into mission creek and into the bay after heavy rains.

according to bay keeper -- >> everything gets dumped out into this creek. >> reporter: the sewage system gets overwhelmed. >> so we're looking at houseboats in mission creek, and these are people who live on the water right here and so any time that there's a discharge from the san francisco public utilities commissions gates here in the creek, these ehomes are exposed to anything that's in that water. it's a pretty sad situation. any time there's a heavy rain stomach, we have massive amounts of discharge that are happening in this creek. and that discharge has pollution like trash. it also has sewage, raw sewage, and bacteria, and it can have all kinds of things like syringes and condoms. >> i mean, you get needles, you get syringes, you name it. >> reporter: this isn't a new issue. this has been going on

for decades, but now the environmental protection agency and the san francisco bay keeper are sounding the alarm. they're taking legal action and holding these agencies accountable. they want something done now. in early march, bay keeper notified san francisco and its public utilities commission that they would be filing a lawsuit to hold them accountable for polluting the bay. now the epa is doing the same, suing san francisco for violating the clean water act over the same conduct. >> we've given the city many, many years to try to solve the problem on their own, and they haven't been able to do it. they have told us many times we have a master plan, we're putting millions of dollars into the system to try to fix some of these problem, and yet year after year they continue to discharge. >> reporter: according to the complaint filed, the city has discharged an annual average of 1.8 billion gallons of sewage. >> people live along here. they're in canoe, so what is

the concern for them and have they launched any complaints? >> yeah, it's a good question. the houseboat owners have been pretty silent on this issue, at least from our perspective. they haven't really reached out to us to let us know what they're experiencing, but we have heard from kayakers and swimmers in the area and also around san francisco that are really concerned about the pollution that's in the water. >> i think it's just beyond help. it's -- it's frustrating. >> reporter: bruno says it just isn't a battle he wants to take on. is it a legal battle or is it fix the issue? >> yeah, so i hope they don't take this to court. we don't need to go to court. we can solve this outside of court. we can come up with solutions that are going to be really better for the bay and better for the people of san francisco. >> reporter: until then, bruno says he may not ride out this wave. >> i'm thinking about selling

the boat and moving on. >> we reached out to the sfpuc for a response. they called the lawsuit unfair to taxpayers. a spokesperson told us in a statement, partnership and support from the federal and state government would be more helpful than costly and counterproductive litigation. the city operates three sewage plants. it is upgrading one of them that handles 80% of the waste wat exer plans to build a fourth treatment plant on treasure island and is investing more than $2 billion over the next 15 years to further protect water quality. other news this saturday evening, san francisco getting high marks for using energy wisely. it was just named the top city in the country for energy efficiency and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. it is the second year in a row ethat it has topped the list by the american council for an energy efficient economy. city was lauded for

its electric public transportation system and efforts to connect lower income residents with rebates and incentives to go green. . still ahead at 6:00, something completely different floating on the bay. we're used to seeing the kayak, but today a skate ramp on -- in the middle of mccovey cove. and we're celebrating aapi heritage month and the drum culture that has played a powerful role in helping japanese americans reclaim their identity. >> it's not a quiet, passive art form that so many people associate with the japanese culture. it is something very loud, very powerful. and later a strike looming at uc santa cruz, but it has nothing to do with salaries or benefits.

in livermore around 100 line workers from around the west coast competed in this year's pg&e linemen rodeo today, facing off in pole climbs, simulated rescue, and other tests to see who comes out on top. the winners will face off against the best linemen from around the world at kansas city's annual international linemens rodeo. caltrans is warning drivers to avoid 680 southbound lanes near dublin this weekend. crews will be working on a paving project until monday morning. just two lanes are open southbound from alcosta boulevard and the 580 interchange. traffic is expected to be backed up from contra costa to alameda. another closure is planned for next weekend. and in the north bay, arclosed between sears point and highway 29 in vallejo. it's part of a long running

project to repave that entire stretch in both directions, and caltrans is supposed to finish the paving by monday morning. the final step is painting new lane lines, so monday through thursday caltrans will close one direction of the highway overnight. and now from 37 down to san jose, dozens of volunteers picked up trash around the cities rivers and creeks, probably something you didn't know existed, national river cleanup day. organizers say hundreds of tons of trash picked up around the creeks every year at events like this serve as an important reeminder to keep the city's creeks clean. well, i was in novato today, and it took a while nar marine layer, the fog, to kind of burn off, but then i was driving and it seems like some parts it didn't burn off at all. >> that would be my part. >> that would be your part. >> that would be your part too. >> there were places today it never went away. there was an interesting setup driving the marine layer on. i want to show you that and talk about why it

is not doing that tomorrow. >> oh, great. >> tomorrow is going to be different. with bay to breaker, we did talk about that at the top of the newscast. here's one of the places that had clouds overhead for a good part of today. we'll watch that again one more time because you're looking at the vantage point from mount diablo, 3,800 feet. that ridge right there is probably only 1,500 feet high. we're at 3,800 here. and that's mount tam in the distance, about 2,500 feet. so the clouds are streaming in here as they're getting pushed onshore. at least you saw sun here. even if it was fairly persistent there over the east bay hills, watch the replay in high resolution satellite from today. look at the north bay. look up here. santa rosa, windsor, you guys -- i mean, you did clear. you got sunshine. but it took a long time. and it had a huge impact on daytime highs. you did not get out of the 60s all day today in our north bay valleys. and if we just kind of change the perspective on it, you can

see what was going on. the clouds were getting pulled up from the south and funneled right through the petaluma gap real persistently. tomorrow what's going to be different, there's going to be a weak little front that's going to move through the bay, and it's going to do a number on the marine layer. it's going to break the whole thing up. we'll probably have some of it but nowhere near what we've had the last week. a very different scenario. you'll get more sun, but it's going to have a big impact on the way the temperatures feel. if you were in the mid to upper 60s in the the north bay today, here's sunday. near 80. as much as 12 #, maybe some places 15 degrees warmer tomorrow for those north bay valleys. everybody will warm up tomorrow, but it's dra mat nick the north bay because you were so grayed for the majority of today. san jose, you don't change a whole lot tomorrow. livermore at 76. now watch tuesday. so tomorrow starts a warming trend which is going to peak on tuesday. let's advance this to that. there's a lot more orange on here now, especially for the inland valleys. now we are

going back to the mid-80s by tuesday. i don't think we really feel ea whole lot of difference in the immediate bay at all through this whole transition. but inland valleys really will. look at us on the high resolution satellite today. so all right we were talking about the marine layer. that makes sense. what's going on over there? there were thunderstorms in the sierra today. let's use the radar to see that. it's lightning and thunderstorms in there. and if we look at the source for this, how do you do that? how do you get such a big complex of thunderstorms over to sierra today? you wouldn't see anything on the regular satellite when you switch it to the water vapor, you can see what happened. an area of low pressure sitting out here. it threw a batch of moisture over california. watch the explosion in the afternoon. an invisible source of fuel for those thunderstorms was the moisture that got pulled up and the afternoon sun was able to capitalize on that. what's changing tomorrow is this line right here. you see everything coming down from the northwest, we've got a front about to come through. that's going to take those thunderstorms and push them away. they won't be

there in the sierra tomorrow. it's also going to take the marine layer that was so persistent today and it's just going to plow and drive it all away. i think we'll have a little, but it's going -- it will be noticeably different tomorrow for just about all of us. a few clouds in the immediate bay. a lot more sunshine in the north bay valleys. a lot more sun for bay to breakers tomorrow than you typically have. we don't hang the temperatures much for san francisco and oakland over the next seven days. you don't notice much difference there. when we look at the microclimates, we do. north bay valleys the biggest. san jose a little bit of a warm-up. low 80s by tuesday. only to cool down by next weekend. so yes, there's a warm-up right here. early in the week, and then we are giving it all back by next weekend. you're going to cool right back down again into the low 70s if you're inland. matt, over to you. >> coming up in sports a historic day from one of the giants biggest rising stars. plus, a stacked leaderboard at the pga championship

it's been a heck of a week in louisville, kentucky, as it hosts the pga championship. pretty big public arrest. not sure if you heard about that one. a couple big names missed the cut. and there's been some pretty good golf. these local fans ready for the preakness weekend. it was moving day. more on the horse race later. might need a photo finish at valhalla on sunday, because the leaderboard is stacked. long birdie putt for shane lowery on 13. his putter was red hot. he shot a 9 under 62, barely missed a birdie putt on 18. looking for his first major, shots like this help holes out. it's for birdie. on 15. solid four under for him. he wasn't the only one that showed off his short game. chip in for collin morikawa on three, was his first of five birdies on the day. on 18 he sinks another to take a share of the lead going into sunday. who is he going to be paired with, though? well, that would

be xander schauffele. recovered nicely from a double bogey on 15 with back-to-back birdies on 17 and 18. so it is morikawa and schauffele who share the lead at 15 under. right behind them is 14 under and a loaded leaderboard behind them. bryson dechambeau, lowery, and viktor hovland all two back of the lead entering the final round. this is a new one in mccovey cove. i am paging tony hawk pro skater the video game. pretty sweet that the giants had that out there in right field. but luis matos is the main attraction at oracle park right now. the beginning of a six-rbi day. matos has driven in 14 runs over the last five games. this was one of nine doubles hit by the giants. that's the most in a game for them since 1912. and he's pretty good on defense too. robbed a homer the other night. took away extra bases here. giants beat the rockies 14-4. their third straight win. they're going to go for the

sweep tomorrow. in softball, stanford looking to advance out of their regional after taking down saint mary's on saturday. third inning, ava barrels one to right field. if it's fair, it's gone. it's fair. solo shot put the cardinal up two. stanford holds on to win 2-1. they will have a chance to advance to the super regionals on sunday. the running of the preakness stakes in baltimore. that's ray lewis with a bit of a different introduction than his raven dance we're used to. as for the horses, seize the gray took home the preakness. that does mean that the triple crown is dead. mystik dan, the derby winner, finished second. the oakland ballers will play their first game tuesday night. former giant j.t. snow is on their coaching staff, so i had to put some of the players to test to see how much they knew about the six-time gold glove winner. >> j.t. snow, how many teams did you play for in the majors?

>> i played in four. >> really close. >> i know it was san francisco, i know boston. >> yankee, angels, giant, red sox. >> who did he spend the majority of his career with? >> who's that, the orioles? no. >> san francisco giants. >> giants, i knew it was orange. >> i know he won five gold gloves, and then -- >> close, it was six. >> it was six? okay. >> do you know which position he played? >> infielder? third base? no? oh man, this is bad. i need to do some research. >> how many home runs did he hit in his major league career? >> i'm going to say like 155. >> man, if you could say he had ten apiece, let's go 250. >> i would say probably 300. >> how many home runs did you hit in your career?

>> i hit 189 in the regular season, and then i think i had three more in the postseason. >> okay, they got to brush up on their j.t. snow trivia, but we are excited for ballers. tuesday, june 4th their first game. we've got the game on friday, june 7th, on pix+. >> i bet if we mentioned that darren baker moment where he scooped him up, those --. >> i don't think they would know. >> they wouldn't know. >> i don't think they would know who darren baker is. i hope they would, but we've got to give them some pamphlets or something, some information. >> here is all about j.t. snow. >> i'll pass it out next friday. >> thank, matt. coming up in our next half hour, a local exhibit celebrating a unique part of bay area television that has roots right here in the bay area. plus, another state's governor hoping to be former president trump's running mate makes her case to local republicans. and the officials

from cbs news bay area this is the evening edition. >> now at 6:30, the state republican party convention is underway this weekend in the bay area. lineup of trump supporters headlined day two of the convention that's being held in burlingame. >> south dakota governor kristi noem was one of the keynote speakers today. da lin has more

on the convention. >> reporter: former president donald trump may not win out the deep blue state of california come november, but he has a lot of supporters at the california gop convention held in burlingame, including ashley. >> less government, more people. have confidence in the people. >> reporter: some say it's a trump-heavy convention in that the keynote speakers are trump allies, like south dakota governor kristi noem. >> i'm very good friends with him. i talk to him all the time. >> reporter: in her saturday afternoon speech, the governor highlighted her state's success and how her policies align with trump. >> we took a very different pathway through covid than what your governor did. south dakota was the only state in the country that never once closed a single business. we never once mandated masks or vaccines. we have broken the national historic unemployment record for the lowest

unemployment at 1.7% because everybody in south dakota works. >> reporter: she took jabs at california governor gavin newsom, president joe biden, and even former president barack obama. >> that guy could talk too. if there ever was anybody who could talk smoothly and lie at the same time, it was president obama. >> reporter: noem is set to be a possible running mate for trump. >> she's a tough gal. she makes the tough decision, and that's what we need. >> i think she would make a great running mate with him. she has the values and the actions that she took in her state. >> reporter: one prominent republican who was a no show was senate candidate steve garvey. some political experts say he's trying to distance himself from trump to win over independent voters. >> why isn't he here? steve harvey, where are you? if you're going to bat one out at the park, you should be here because we're the people that are doing the batting for you, buddy. get yourself in. >> reporter: some moderate republicans say they understand

the strategy. >> for the party leadership, it's a balancing act. there are many very strong trump supporter, and then there are people who are skeptical. they have to accommodate all sides, and it's really like walking on a tight rope. >> reporter: ashley is a garvey supporter and a trump supporter. the l.a. resident who grew up in the bay area says california's going in the wrong direction. she wants to see changes in policies that will reduce crime and improve public schools. >> there's something wrong here. it's not family friendly, it's not business friendly. >> she believes her party can fix those problems. >> of course, they've got a big road ahead. to give you an idea of how rarely california elects republicans to statewide offices, the last one to serve as a u.s. senator from california was pete wilson. he was elected to two terms starting in 1991. later on he resigned to become the state's governor and our only republican governor in this entire century, of course, was

arnold schwarzenegger. we've seen anti-war protests at plenty of college graduations this year. at sonoma state, not much drama during today's ceremonies, but just yesterday the university's president announced his retirement after being placed on administrative leave. it all comes after mike lee sent a controversial campuswide email announcing a deal with pro-palestinian protesters on campus without the approval from csu chancellors. it included an advisory council for justice for palestinian a boycott for academic and research institutions sponsored by israel, and calling for a permanent ceasefire in gaza. lee later apologized for the agreement. at uc berkeley, police cleared out a group of protesters after an hours long stand-off, riot police broke down the doors thursday and arrested at least 12 people. the university says they were taken into custody after some people started hitting officers

with a crowbar. at uc santa cruz teaching assistant, recruiter, and other student workers are planning to strike starting monday. they say it's in response to the university's crackdown on pro-palestinian demonstrations. uc santa cruz is calling the strike illegal, saying a strike directly violates the no-strike clause in the union's contract with the university. uc santa cruz is one of the campuses where students set up anti-war encampments. >> meanwhile, in the middle east a prominent member of israel's war cabinet has threatened to quit if the country doesn't rethink its war strategy. benny gantz is one of three people on prime minister benjamin netanyahu's war cabinet. he says he will leave the government if they don't come up with a new plan that would include retrieving the remaining hostages, establishing new relations are saudi arabia, and eventually removing idf forces from gaza.

and in tel-aviv, protesters calling for the release of the hostages and an end to the war in gaza were hosed down by the israeli police today. they have been calling for netanyahu to step down, which would trigger new elections. and in gaza, while the u.s. continues to send billions to israel to fight the war, it is also sending first aid trucks to its victims. the u.s.'s newly constructed floating pier is being rushed by thousands of starving palestinians. u.s. military says they could scale up to 150 truckloads of supplies a day. in slovakia, the prime minister is in serious but stable condition after he was shot five times during an assassination attempt earlier this week. he underwent a second surgery yesterday. he was shot in the stomach while greeting supporters on wednesday. the suspect appeared in court today. that man was ordered to remain behind bars while he awaits trial. and still ahead here at 6:00 #, the contra costa county

fair wants to know if you know where your kids are. the heightened security that they put in place for your visits. plus, a giant milestone for a northern california landmark. we take you to the santa cruz beach boardwalk as the oldest wooden roller coaster in the state rolls into a new century.

the contra costa county fair continues this weekend. lots of people expected to be

out, including teens with their chaperones. the policy was put into place last year for teens 18 and under to be accompanied by an adult after several fights broke out in just one day. fair organizers are implementing the rule again to keep the fair safe and fun for everyone. the chaperone policy, though, is getting mixed reviews from the teens. >> feel like the fair's a place where kids go to have fun away from their parents sometimes. and i feel like the chaperone policy takes away from that. >> i feel like we've had a lot of dangerous incidents at the park, and so now that we have this new rule, it's going to keep it safer and more fun for everyone else. >> you have one more day to enjoy the contra costa county fair. it all wraps up tomorrow. santa cruz beach boardwalk's giant dipper celebrated a giant anniversary this weekend as the historic wooden coaster turned 100. giant dipper first opened in may of 1924. it took them 47

days to build. it cost $50,000, and it's lasted a century. >> it's nostalgic. reminds me of when i was a kid and my grandparents and parents took me on the giant dipper. >> a few years ago my great grandma came here with me, and she really wanted to go on here. and so we went on together. it was such a special moment. >> i rode this ride with my grandparent, my parents. i've ridden it with my son. and people pass that tradition from family member to family member. >> it is a local touchstone, that's for sure. more than 24 movies have been filmed at the boardwalk a lot of them featuring the giant dipper, including the santa cruz classic the lost boys and 2018's us. fans of the dipper can toast the ride with a custom ale made by discretion brewery in socal. the cans went on sale today at the boardwalk. down the coast from santa cruz, set to re-open this summer, the wharf was battered

and nearly destroyed by a series of winter storms almost a year and a half ago. repairs began last september. renovations, $10 million, and it's expected to reeopen to the public on august 14th. a big celebration hosted by the bay area's first wnba team, the valkyries. the team held a free block party outside of chase center's thrive city. fans had a chance to take photos at different booth, and there was also a long line to enter team store to get some valkyries gear. >> i think repeating the success from the warriors team in the last, you know, decade or so. and we really haven't had a women's team here. it's great for the bay area. i want to see winning basketball, you know. and it's something new too. >> bay area rapper pilo took the stage, including oakland r&b singer keilani to welcome the valkyries to the bay. well, when we come back, celebrating aapi heritage month

in the south bay. ancient sounds in modern times claiming a space for future generations. and coming up in the forecast, there's a fairly large event happening in the city tomorrow in which wardrobe awareness is crucial. and where weather's going to play a role in that. i'm going to give you the specifics. what's the bay to breaker going to be like? but we're also going to talk about why for many of us who are not in the city tomorrow, it's going to look a lot different on sunday. i think potentially in good ways if your opinion is right on this one. forecast on that's coming right up.

reclaiming heritage with each beat of the drum. this ancient japanese art form was recently on full display at the 46th annual festival in san jose's japantown. and as we celebrate aapi heritage month, our len ramirez went behind the scenes with san jose taiko to hear the meaning behind the music. >> reporter: when franco imperial hits the ancient taiko drum -- >> i feel like there's a relationship happening in terms of connecting with the instrument. >> reporter: -- it creates a certain sensation -- >> and that translates to what

the audience hears and feels. . >> reporter: -- and whether it's a single drum in the studio or a group of them in the street, creating something people can hear and feel eis what san jose taiko has been doing for the past 51 years. >> we all have a heartbeat, and i think that pulse is something that we all tap into when we're doing any kind of drumming. >> reporter: franco joined the group 26 years ago and is the group's longtime artistic director. >> when i am drumming, i feel pure joy, bliss. >> reporter: those are some of the feelings the founders of san jose taiko tapped into in 1973 when a new japanese american cultural pride emerged decades after world war ii and the hardship of internment.

>> that generation, i think, really struggled and fought to reclaim that identity with pride and with honor. >> reporter: she began playing taiko as a stanford student in 1993 and is now executive director. >> and taiko for at least our select group of founding members really was a way for them to say this is a japanese art form, and it's not a quiet, passive art form that so many people associate with the japanese culture. it is something very loud, very powerful, very much in your face as far as being -- claiming their voice, claiming their heritage and that really spoke to that -- those individuals and continues to to this day. >> reporter: although permanently a part of san jose's japantown, the group has evolved into one of the premier arts organizations in the city, attracting students and players from all backgrounds. >> it's musical technique,

attitude, and key. if you can embrace those four principles, then it doesn't matter the color of your skin or your gender or anything about you. as long as you can embrace those principle, then you can be a part of this group. >> reporter: the drum beat goes on for san jose taiko, keeping culture and tradition alive while reaching out to new artists and new audiences every day. >> more music and dancing over in berkeley at the 41st annual himalayan fair. fair at live oak park showcases the culture of the different countries near himalayas. vendors set up shop filled with handmade jewelry and clothing. and about 3,000 people attended the fair today, which continues tomorrow. by the way, you can watch our hour long special -- don't you host

that, andrea? friday , may 24th at 4:00 p.m. on kpix and streaming on cbs news bay area. all right, so we're going have a little shift in the weather. >> yeah. >> yeah. it'll be welcomed. >> we got some making up to do. anybody in the north bay, there's a lot of places that didn't get much sun today. we're surprisingly in the 60s. >> it's weird how weather has been not great on weekends. >> yeah. >> and then on monday and tuesday it like perks right up. >> tuesday's the warmest day of this whole week, so. >> okay. >> next weekend it's going to cool back down again. >> oh my goodness. okay. >> first of all, a look at today. the satellite imagery, you can see what was going on with the marine layer now. if in your opinion the north bay valleys like, is the sun every coming out? look at the southerly flow through the day. the clouds are getting pulled up here along the san mateo county coastline and funneled through the gaps just because of the orientation of the wind

that. petaluma gap was constantly getting filled in with clouds throughout the day today, and you never really got much of a break. the clouds never really cleared out much entirely from that point. and you can kind of see it when we look at it on the coastline. down here. it's different tomorrow. it wouldn't necessarily be apparent if you looked at regular satellite. you'd never see it. we're going to switch and show us the water vapor. look at this line coming down from the north. you see boundaries on here. here comes the next one. not this one but that one up there is going to be the next front. can you kind of see it there? that's going to come down tomorrow, and it's going to push that marine layer that had been funneling up from the south out of the way and break it up. it's just kind of like -- it's a weak little cold front that you really wouldn't notice if it wasn't doing this for us. so there still will be a little bit of the marine layer tomorrow, but there's not going to be much. look at the futurecast on this. that gets us to tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m., 7:00 #, 8:00 #, 9:00. in other words, let's watch the hours there as we get

to 8:00, 9:00. those are the hours for bay to breakers. you're going to be looking at more blue sky and clear conditions for bay to breakers tomorrow man non. and that's different. it's different than the last few days. this can happen for bay to breakers. it can happen in the month of may when bay to breakers happens. you will get a little more sunshine. there's a break here on the wind. if we look at the wind speeds tomorrow morning, you're going from the bay to the breakers. by the time you get out of the beach, you've only got a 10 to 15-mile-per-hour breeze in the afternoon. a 10-mile-an-hour breeze. then in the afternoon they pick up. so once you get past 2:00 when hopefully most people have kind of finished, the wind will start to pick up then. so if you're still out in that costume at 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon, there's a windchill and you will get cooler. at least in the mornings it won't be as gray, overwhelmingly dampy feel to it

without as much of an onshore wind. slightly nicer, and nicer for everybody, because there's less marine layer bay areawide. bay area valley, more sunshine than anything else tomorrow. and you're going to be about 15 degrees warmer. you're going to be at 78 in santa rosa. you didn't get out of 60s all day today. it'll be 75 in san jose. that doesn't change all that much. south bay valleys, you're not noticing much change here. for the inland valleys, you maybe don't notice a lot of change either. let's advance to tuesday. watch your numbers over there. that's where we get to that warmest day of the week. you will be in the mid-80s there by the time we get to tuesday. and then by the time we get towards the end of the week, you're going to give it all back. so will everybody. that's in the seven-day forecast for san francisco and oakland. first, numbers don't change a whole lot here for san francisco or oakland, but they do when we look at the north bay valley on top there going all the way back down to upper 60s again by next weekend. san jose, you'll be in the low 80s tuesday, and then you'll cool to the low 70s by saturday. the inland east bay will do the

same thing. a nice little warm-up tuesday and then cooling back down a little more onshore, more clouds by next weekend. okay, brian, back to you. >> thank you, darren. coming up next a pioneer of bay area television. where you can get

san francisco celebrating the life and work of a prolific yet little known artist with a special exhibit at the public library. >> max darrow gives us a look at some of the work which you may have seen on kpix decades ago. >> reporter: on the second floor of san francisco's iconic coyt tower, there's a mural by ralph chesse, an artist with a quiet but

long-lasting legacy, one of a renaissance man involving painting, sculpture, mural, and puppets. >> this is a ralph chesse production. >> reporter: in the 1950s, chesse was the main creator of the children's tv show called brother buzz, which aired on kpix. >> he built all the puppets. he acted. he wrote all the scripts. >> reporter: that's ralph's son bruce. here's here in the city as the san francisco public library unveils a three-month exhibit to honor his father, showcase some of his best work, and highlight his unique and underrecognized place in san francisco's history. how does it feel to have this exhibit in san francisco really to honor your father? >> well, it's been 75 years in coming, so i'm very happy that it's finally here. >> reporter: some of the puppets that helped make brother buzz the hit show that it was are on display at the exhibit, and one of them even made a return to the kpix studios. >> the grand pappy wood mouth. >> tell us about this. >> from the show. and he was a

central ongoing character in the show and was very important for brother buzz to converse with. >> i think if we spent more time learning to understand one another instead of laughing at each other and making fun, the world would be a better place to live in. >> reporter: brother buzz was a busy bee who taught children about kindness, good manner, and so much more. >> it was the first program that dealt with the environment and with kindness to animals. >> we're looking for an aquatic mammal, have you seen one around? >> and the interesting thing about my father was he knew nothing about animals. >> reporter: your father was an artist. >> yes. and he had to research all of it. >> reporter: chesse truly had a deep connection to san francisco. his wide range of work was appreciated by many for decades. bruce is proud of his father's legacy and touched by the san francisco public library's gesture. >> i'm just very delighted. my former partner has already seen

the exhibit, and she says it's just really tremendous, so i'm looking forward to seeing it. >> reporter: the legacy of a renaissance man who spent the majority of his life contributing to bay area culture that continues to live on. >> who is the only northwestern this building, kpix, where it began, who actually saw brother buzz back in the day? >> did you really? >> yes. brother buzz. you know that too. >> all right, well that does it for us. we will see you back
