Workers at the Queen of the Valley Medical Center

Workers at the Queen of the Valley Medical Center were out picketing Wednesday, claiming Napa County’s largest hospital is severely understaffed and that they’re underpaid.

But that’s not all. The informational picket was organized in hopes of letting the community know what it’s like inside this hospital.

Support staff at Queen of the Valley told KPIX 5 that negotiations with their employer have gone nowhere.

“We’re tired, all of us are tired,” said employee Tammy Wiggin.

Like many other healthcare facilities during the pandemic, Queen of the Valley is dealing with staffing shortages.

To ease the stress on California hospitals, Gov. Gavin Newsom recently allowed medical facilities to bring back their asymptomatic COVID-19 positive employees to the workplace.
Wiggins though alleges, “They had a positive lab person come in and work. And then everybody in the lab had to test. Another lady tested positive. They told her you don’t have symptoms you can come to work. Now her whole family is infected and she’s still working. She’s taking blood from cancer patients.”

While COVID-19 has led to staffing shortages, workers protesting said operator Providence Health & Services has a history of understaffing the hospital.

Karen McNair, a nurse, told KPIX 5, “They don’t really care about staffing, they don’t care about taking care of our families when they’re sick. They don’t even care about our patients because they’re not staffing us up so that we can take care of them properly.”

Providence said it is taking a multi-pronged approach to resolve staffing issues. In a statement to KPIX 5, they said in part, “At Providence, we want the same thing as our caregivers represented by unions: competitive pay that supports caregivers and their families and allows us to attract and retain the best talent.”

The operator said it is working with national staffing companies and offering signing bonuses to job candidates but employees say the salary is the main issues.

Negotiations are expected to resume on Thursday.

For the first time in three years, the number of o

For the first time in three years, the number of overdose deaths in San Francisco has gone down, with a 7 percent decrease in 2021 compared to the previous year, city officials said on Wednesday.

In 2021 there were 650 overdose deaths in the city, compared to 700 in 2020 — marking the first time overdose deaths have declined in the city since 2018 — according to preliminary data from the city’s Medical Examiner’s Office.

Fentanyl, a synthetic and very potent opioid drug, is the main factor contributing to the overdose deaths, as a small amount can be deadly, according to a recent report released by the San Francisco Department of Public Health’s Center on Substance Use and Health.

Mayor London Breed credited the drop to several programs that have been implemented to prevent overdoses, including increased funding for drug use and mental health treatment programs.

According to the report, in 2020, a combined effort by coordinated city services was able to reverse more than 4,300 overdoses with naloxone. Also, between Jan. 1, 2021 and Sept. 30, 2021, more than 6,800 overdoses were reversed in the city due to increased naloxone distribution.

In addition to previous efforts like increasing mental health and drug treatment beds and creating a Street Overdose Response Team, the city this week launched a first-of-its-kind Linkage Center, which will be able to offer voluntary drug and mental health support to up to 100 patients daily.

Furthermore, the city is planning on opening a new drug sobering center, SoMa RISE, which serve as a safe space for intoxicated people, as well as a safe consumption site that will allow people to consume drugs under the watch of health and medical professionals.

SFDPH Director Dr. Grant Colfax said, “We look to 2022 with optimism and hope given the many efforts and resources being deployed at a rapid pace and the commitment of our communities and partners throughout the city to save lives.”

PIPE BOMB HOAX: A bomb scare at the Federal Buildi

PIPE BOMB HOAX: A bomb scare at the Federal Building in downtown Oakland Wednesday was a hoax, according to the Alameda County Bomb Squad.

Around 12:40 p.m. someone found what appeared to be a pipe bomb inside a blue plastic bag at the base of the flag pole in front of the building. Police set up a perimeter in the area and evacuated people nearby. The bomb technicians did not want to move the item until they could determine exactly what it was and what was inside.

They used x-rays to get a look at it and determined it was designed to look like an explosive device - complete with circuit boards, wires, and screws - but inside there were no explosives, only a note. Police said it was all an elaborate hoax to get their attention. The entire are was blocked off for 5 hours as the bomb squad techs were doing their work.

The FBI is leading the investigation and did not say what the note said, only that it was a message directed toward law enforcement, and the device was designed to look like a bomb to get the law enforcement response that it did - with Oakland Police, FBI, Homeland Security, and Alameda County Sheriffs Department all responding.

There is some surveillance video of the suspect leaving the device in the planter, and FBI agents say when the suspect is caught, s/he could be facing a number of very serious charges for leaving this type of device in front of the Federal Building.

A proposal to build a new cricket stadium in the B

A proposal to build a new cricket stadium in the Bay Area could help bring one of the world’s most popular sports to a new audience. This week, Santa Clara County approved an “exclusive negotiating agreement” with Major League Cricket. The ENA allows the county and the league to “move forward with lease negotiations and design approvals to develop a world-class cricket stadium” near the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds. Major League Cricket is eyeing the 14-acre parking lot, along Tully Road, across the street from the iconic blue arch. The parcel has been used as the county’s largest COVID-19 drive-thru testing site since the onset of the pandemic.

“It’s a tremendously exciting day for cricket in the Bay Area,” said Tom Dunmore, Vice President of Marketing for Major League Cricket.

According to Dunmore, cricket is the second most popular sport in the world, with large followings in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and across South Asia. The league was drawn to the South Bay’s “strong, grassroots fanbase”.

Early concept renderings show a large, circular stadium, with palm tree-lined promenades. The stadium would likely feature permanent seating for 6,000 to 8,000 fans, with the ability to scale up to 15,000 for larger events such as the World Cup. The facility would also feature state of the art locker rooms and luxury suites.

he Marin Brewing Company has been an institution in the North Bay for almost 33 years. This week, the owner announced the restaurant and brewery would be forced to close at the end of the month.

“We love you all. We’re going to miss you, and we’re going to miss what this place was, a real community hub,” brewery owner Brendan Moyland told KPIX 5.

Moyland says the impact of the pandemic was just too much for the business to bear. The brewery is behind on rent because of lost income due to COVID restrictions.The owner also said there’s more competition among breweries. When he first opened, there were only 25 microbreweries in California, but now there are more than 1,000. According to Moyland, the final straw was when he wasn’t able to get any help from the almost $30-billion Restaurant Revitalization Fund.

“Some of the hardest parts about closing is just knowing that you’re going to have to tell 50 people that they’re not going to have a job anymore,” said Moyland.

The last day of business for Marin Brewing Company is on January 31. Moyland’s other restaurant, Moyland Brewing Company in Novato, will stay open.

Police officers shot and killed an armed person at

Police officers shot and killed an armed person at the San Francisco International Airport BART station Thursday morning.

A bystander was injured in the shooting by a bullet ricocheting and was hospitalized.

Airport spokesman Doug Yakel told KPIX 5 police responded at about 7:30 a.m. to reports of an individual exhibiting threatening behavior at the BART station entrance in the international terminal. The person brandished two firearms and officers began to try and deescalate the situation and use non-lethal measures, Yakel said.

Officers opened fire after the individual advanced in a threatening way toward officers, Yakel said. A person experiencing homelessness was hit in the leg by a bullet and was taken to the hospital.

BART first alerted just before 7 a.m. of a delay at the SFO station in both the Antioch and Richmond directions because of unspecified police activity.

Several minutes later, BART said trains were not stopping at the SFO station in all directions and that SamTrans was providing bus shuttles between Millbrae station and SFO.

At 8:20 a.m., BART said it expected to reopen the station within 30 minutes.
