225,000 San Diego households are eligible for the new bins, according to the city.<\/p>\n

CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM SIGNED INTO LAW A BILL CREATING A STATE BUREAU FOR DESCENDENTS OF AMERICAN SLAVERY.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
REPORTER KATIE HYSON SPOKE WITH THE BILL\u2019S AUTHOR, SAN DIEGO\u2019S STATE SENATOR AKILAH WEBER PIERSON, ABOUT WHAT\u2019S NEXT.<\/b><\/p>\n
BUREAU 1 trt :40 SOQ (kh\/gd)<\/p>\n
It took more than a century since emancipation for a state to move toward official, comprehensive reparations.<\/p>\n
SOT :06 We have waited for a very long time. But when California started to move in this direction, we’ve done a lot of things very quickly.<\/p>\n
Weber Pierson called the bureau a \u201chome base\u201d for running the state\u2019s reparations programs.<\/p>\n
The first step is for the governor to select a director.<\/p>\n
SOT :11 We want to ensure that the person that is selected . . . really understands . . . their historic role and that they have a true vision for where the Bureau will go.<\/p>\n
She anticipates the search process will take six months to a year.<\/p>\n

THE NOVEMBER 4 SPECIAL ELECTION IS JUST A FEW WEEKS AWAY.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
REPORTER JACOB AERE SAYS WHILE ALL CALIFORNIA VOTERS CAN WEIGH IN ON REDISTRICTING VIA PROP 50, THERE\u2019S AN ADDITIONAL ISSUE FOR A FEW THOUSAND RESIDENTS IN POWAY.<\/b><\/p>\n
__________________________________________________<\/b><\/p>\n
D2EXPLAINER 1 (:44)<\/p>\n
District 2 councilmember Tony Blain is the focus of a recall election in Poway.<\/p>\n
Blain has only been in office since December, and since his swearing in, he\u2019s been accused of vote trading, along with threatening and harassing city staffers and other officials.<\/p>\n
The Poway City Council censured him in February\u2026 a first in the city\u2019s nearly 45 year history.<\/p>\n
In August, the council voted to hold the special municipal election after enough signatures from District 2 residents were collected to put the question on the ballot.<\/p>\n
If a simple majority of residents votes \u201cno,\u201d the recall fails, and Blain will remain in office.<\/p>\n
But if a simple majority votes \u201cyes,\u201d he will be removed from office, and the position will remain vacant until it\u2019s filled. Jacob Aere, KPBS News.<\/p>\n

A SMALL GROUP OF VETERANS AND LOCAL BOOSTERS ARE WORKING TO GET THE 2029 INVICTUS GAMES TO SAN DIEGO. THIS SUMMER, THEY MADE THE FINAL SIX.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
REPORTER ANDREW DYER HAS MORE ON WHAT THE GAMES MEAN TO THESE ATHLETES.<\/b><\/p>\n
INVICTUS AD 4:13 SOQ<\/p>\n
BASKETBALL NATS<\/p>\n
IT\u2019S A WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND A GROUP IS PLAYING WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL IN CITY HEIGHTS.<\/p>\n
ONE OF THE PLAYERS IS ANTHONY PONE. HE WAS ALWAYS A BASKETBALL PLAYER, BUT YEARS AGO HE LOST HIS RIGHT LEG IN A CAR ACCIDENT THE ARMY VETERAN THOUGHT HIS SPORTS CAREER WAS OVER.<\/p>\n
THAT\u2019S WHEN HE FOUND WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL.<\/p>\n
ANTHONY PONE, TEAM USA ATHLETE<\/p>\n
I THOUGHT THAT THE GAME WAS OVER FOR ME. BUT WHEN I STARTED TO PLAY AGAIN, IT WAS LIKE, OKAY, THIS IS SPORT, OKAY? IT’S JUST AS COMPETITIVE, IF NOT MORE.<\/p>\n
SUCH IS THE POWER OF SPORTS FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DISABILITIES.<\/p>\n
PRINCE HARRY OF GREAT BRITAIN SAW THIS FOR HIMSELF AFTER DEPLOYING TO AFGHANISTAN MORE THAN A DECADE AGO.<\/p>\n
IN 2014, HE LAUNCHED THE INVICTUS GAMES. VETERANS WITH DISABILITIES FROM AROUND THE GLOBE COMPETE IN WHAT\u2019S BECOME A BIENNIAL ADAPTIVE SPORT COMPETITION.<\/p>\n
SAN DIEGO HAS ITS OWN BID TO HOST THE GAMES IN 2029.<\/p>\n
ANDY SOLER, INVICTUS GAMES SAN DIEGO 2029 BID COMMITTEE<\/p>\n
THINK WE’VE GOT A PRETTY STRONG BID<\/p>\n
ANDY SOLER (SOLAR) REPRESENTS THE BRITISH-AMERICAN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION AND IS THE CO-CHAIR OF SAN DIEGO\u2019S BID COMMITTEE. HE SAYS THE RESPONSE TO THE BID HAS BEEN GOOD.<\/p>\n
ANDY SOLER, INVICTUS GAMES SAN DIEGO 2029 BID COMMITTEE<\/p>\n
IT’S DEFINITELY BEEN THE MOST HUMBLING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. EVERYWHERE WE’VE GONE, WE’VE JUST BEEN MET WITH POSITIVITY, WITH PEOPLE THAT WANT TO DO WHATEVER THEY CAN TO BRING THE GAMES TO SAN DIEGO.<\/p>\n
JIESYL RAMA IS ONE OF THE VETERAN ATHLETES WORKING TO BRING THE GAMES.<\/p>\n
JIESYL RAMA, TEAM USA ATHLETE<\/p>\n
ADAPTIVE SPORTS HAS CHANGED MY LIFE. IT’S GIVEN ME A COMMUNITY.<\/p>\n
IT\u2019S GIVEN ME A PLACE TO BE MYSELF AND FEEL NORMAL.<\/p>\n
WE MET RAMA\u2019S IN CITY HEIGHTS WITH HER SERVICE DOG, HUGO.<\/p>\n
FIVE YEARS AGO, SHE WAS A SAILOR ON THE GUIDED-MISSILE DESTROYER USS FITZGERALD. IN 2020, HER SHIP WAS DOCKED ACROSS THE PIER FROM THE USS BONHOMME RICHARD WHEN IT CAUGHT FIRE.<\/p>\n
JIESYL RAMA, TEAM USA ATHLETE<\/p>\n
WE WERE ACTUALLY RESPONDING TO THE FIRE. I HAPPENED TO BE OUTSIDE DURING THE SECOND BLAST. WHERE, THAT BLAST, THE FORCE OF THE BLAST THREW ME BACK ONTO THE DECK OF MY SHIP.<\/p>\n
RAMA\u2019S INJURIES WERE SEVERE AND SHE WAS MEDICALLY RETIRED FROM THE NAVY.<\/p>\n
SINCE THEN SHE PARTICIPATED IN THE WARRIOR GAMES \u2014 DEFENSE DEPARTMENT\u2019S ADAPTIVE SPORTS COMPETITION. THAT EARNED HER A SPOT ON TEAM USA FOR THIS YEAR\u2019S INVICTUS GAMES IN VANCOUVER.<\/p>\n
THE SECRET SAUCE OF THE INVICTUS GAMES IS REALLY HARD TO, IT’S EASY TO \u2026 DESCRIBE, BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO BE THERE. YOU HAVE TO BE THERE. YOU HAVE TO EXPERIENCE IT. AND THAT EVERYONE WHO’S BEEN \u2026 DOING THE INVICTUS GAMES HAS SEEN THE INVICTUS GAMES EXPERIENCE THE INVICTUS GAMES. IT’S IT’S IT’S,<\/p>\n
IT’S VERY IMPACTFUL. IT’S LIFE CHANGING FOR THEM.<\/p>\n
STEVEKAPPES.MP4: 6;58;27 – 07;12;09<\/p>\n
STEVE KAPPES, DIRECTOR, SAN DIEGO WOUNDED WARRIOR TENNIS PROGRAM<\/p>\n
I’VE HAD MANY WOUNDED, ILL AND INJURED SERVICE MEMBERS AND VETERANS SAY TO ME, WE’VE DEVELOPED A RELATIONSHIP AND, AND TRUST THAT OUR TENNIS PROGRAM HAS SAVED THEIR LIVES<\/p>\n
STEVE KAPPES IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE SAN DIEGO WOUNDED WARRIOR TENNIS PROGRAM. WE CAUGHT UP WITH HIM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO DURING A COLLEGE TENNIS TOURNAMENT.<\/p>\n
THE RETIRED NAVY CAPTAIN SAYS HE\u2019S SEEN FIRST-HAND WHAT THESE SPORTS PROGRAMS DO FOR VETERANS.<\/p>\n
IT WILL SHINE A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT ON THE WHOLE WORLD OF ADAPTIVE SPORTS, AND CERTAINLY WITH A SPECIFIC FOCUS ON THE MILITARY POPULATION. I THINK IT’S GOING TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY IN GENERAL, UNDERSTAND A LOT MORE ABOUT WHAT ADAPTIVE SPORTS ARE ABOUT.<\/p>\n
PONE SAYS HOSTING THE GAMES WOULD MEAN MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO GIVE BACK.<\/p>\n
ANTHONY PONE, TEAM USA ATHLETE<\/p>\n
I’M HAPPY THAT I’M ALIVE BECAUSE THERE’S AN ALTERNATIVE. AND I ALMOST MET THAT ALTERNATIVE TO MY CAR ACCIDENT. AND SO EVERY DAY I’M ALIVE, I BREATHE DEEP. AND IF I SEE SOMEBODY IN A POSITION JUST LIKE MINE, JUST LIKE ME, IT’S ALL ABOUT. IT’S ALL ABOUT SHARE MY EXPERIENCES AND AND HOPE THEY’RE MOTIVATED BY THEM SO THEY CAN GET ON THEIR JOURNEY AS WELL.<\/p>\n
SAN DIEGO ISN\u2019T A SHOO-IN TO HOST THE GAMES. OTHER FINALISTS ARE DENMARK, NIGERIA, ITALY, SOUTH KOREA AND UKRAINE.<\/p>\n
SOLER SAYS THE BID NEEDS COMMUNITY COMMITMENT AND FINANCIAL COMMITMENT \u2014 TO MAKE IT TO THE FINAL TWO CITIES IN DECEMBER.<\/p>\n
THE 2029 HOST CITY WILL BE ANNOUNCED NEXT SUMMER.<\/p>\n
