>>> MAJOR FUNDING FOR KPBS EVENING ADDITION HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY BILL HOWELL PROVIDING SAN DIEGO WITH PLUMBING, HEATING, AIR, RESTORATION AND FLOOD SERVICES FOR OVER 40 YEARS.

CALL 800-BILL-WE OR THE CONRAD PRIVACY FOUNDATION, DARLENE SHILEY AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

THE SAN DIEGO CONVENTION CENTER IS ABOUT TO GET SOME MUCH NEEDED REPAIRS AND RENOVATION.

OUR KPBS REPORTER JOHN CARROLL SAID VISITORS TO SAN DIEGO WILL BE FOOTING THE BILL.

>> WITH ITS SWEEPING WHITE SAILS AND ROUNDED GLASS WINDOWS, THE SAN DIEGO CONVENTION CENTER STILL LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY MODERN BUILDING.

BUT THE WEST SIDE WILL TURN 37 THIS YEAR AND THE EAST SIDE WILL MARK ITS 25TH ANNIVERSARY IN NOVEMBER.

THE BUILDING IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO SAN DIEGO'S ECONOMY, SAID THEY ARE TODD GLORIA.

>> I THINK THERE ARE FEW BUILDINGS THAT PROVIDE MORE POSITIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT IN OUR COMMUNITY THEN THE CONVENTION CENTER.

OVER A BILLION DOLLARS OF REGIONAL IMPACT.

OVER 1000 PEOPLE DIRECTLY EMPLOYED.

>> AT THE CAN VENTURE CENTER, COREY ALBRIGHT IS SHOWING US AROUND.

HE IS THE CHIEF OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND MODERNIZATION .

>> SO THE ROOF IS FIRST.

THAT IS THE PROJECT ANTICIPATED TO BE FIRST.

SOME OF THE OTHERS ARE LONGER- RANGE PROJECTS.

CENTRAL PLANT REPLACEMENT.

THAT IS THE BOILERS AND THE CHILLERS.

EVERYTHING THAT CREATES AIR AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL IN THE BUILDING.

IT IS A MULTIYEAR PHASE REPLACEMENT.

>> THE MONEY TO DO THIS COMES FROM THE TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX.

VISITORS TO SAN DIEGO PAY THAT WHEN THEY STAY IN A HOTEL ROOM.

THE CLOSER YOU ARE TO THE CONVENTION CENTER, THE HIGHER THE TAX.

THE CITY STARTED COLLECTING THE TAX LAST MAY AFTER A COURT GAVE THE GO- AHEAD.

IT HAS ITS BEGINNINGS IN MEASURE C, WHICH AN APPEALS COURT RULED THE VOTERS HAD INDEED APPROVED BACK IN 2020.

>> WHAT THE VOTERS BLESSED WAS A 2% OR SO INCREASE THAT GOES FOR THREE PURPOSES.

MODERNIZATION, ROADS, HOMELESSNESS.

THAT MONEY WILL BE IN PLACE FOR DECADES TO COME, WHICH GIVES IS THAT RELIABLE RESOURCE TO DO THOSE THREE THINGS.

I THINK THEY ARE REALLY IMPORTANT.

>> BACK OVER AT THE CONVENTION CENTER, CORY ALBRIGHT TOOK US TO ONE PLACE SET FOR A MAJOR REPAIR AND SOMETHING YOU MIGHT NOT EXPECT.

>> A BIG PART OF THE RENOVATIONS HERE WILL BE FIXING A SOMEWHAT LEAKY ROOF.

THAT MEANS NOTHING THAT HAS BEEN UP HERE FOR MANY YEARS WILL BE GOING AWAY.

THERE ARE TENNIS COURTS ON THE ROOF OF THE CONVENTION CENTER.

THEY HAVE NOT BEEN USED FOR WELL OVER 10 YEARS NOW.

THEY USED TO BE AN AMENITY FOR GUESTS OF THE MARRIOTT.

THEY WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ROOF DESIGNED TO BE SOLAR READY.

>> THE IMPORTANCE OF ALL OF THIS IS TO KEEP SAN DIEGO COMPETITIVE AND IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE WORLD OF BOOKING CONVENTIONS.

>> THESE KINDS OF INVESTMENTS ARE NOTICED BY THE INDUSTRY.

THEY PLAN FAR IN ADVANCE.

WHEN THEY SEE THINGS THAT SHOULD BE ADOPTED BY SAN DIEGO, THE CITY COUNCIL TAKING THE ADOPTION VOTE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WHEN THEY SEE THE IMPROVEMENTS GET UNDERWAY, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO COME BACK HERE OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

>> THE WORK SHOULD BEGIN VERY SOON IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING, ALBRIGHT SAID THAT THROUGH CAREFUL PLANNING, THE CONVENTION CENTER WILL BE ABLE TO STAY OPEN THROUGH ALL THE RENOVATIONS AND UPGRADES OVER THE COMING YEARS.

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.

>> I'M ARIELLA SCALISE.

TONIGHT, A PARTLY CLOUDY NIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES INTO THE 50s.

A WARM DRY STRETCH BRINGS US TO THE END OF THE WEEK.

WE WILL HAVE THE RETURN OF LOW CLOUDS AND EVEN WINDY WEATHER.

WE WILL HAVE A CLOSER LOOK COMING UP.

>>> COMING UP, TONIGHT -- TONIGHT, PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL DELIVER THE 2026 STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS TO A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS AND TO MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WATCHING FROM HOME.

THE SPEECH COMES ON THE HEELS OF A SUPREME COURT DECISION THAT STRUCK DOWN A KEY PIECE OF HIS ECONOMIC AGENDA AND FOREIGN POLICY.

WE HAVE THE LATEST FROM THE NATION'S CAPITAL.

>>> TONIGHT'S STATE OF THE UNION COMES EDITABLE TO US POLITICAL MOMENT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP.

>> IT WILL BE A LONG SPEECH BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT.

>> THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY PREVIEWED WHAT AMERICANS CAN EXPECT TO HEAR DURING THE SPEECH.

>> A LARGE PORTION WILL FOCUS ON THE ECONOMY.

THE PRESIDENT WILL LAY OUT THE CASE FOR WHY HE AND REPUBLICANS ARE BETTER SUITED TO TACKLE, CONTINUE TACKLING THE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS THAT WAS CREATED BY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND DEMOCRATS ON CAPITOL HILL.

>> LAST WEEK, THE MAJORITY MAJORITY TRACK DOWN., THE CENTERPIECE OF TRUMP'S ECONOMIC AGENDA.

TRUMP LASHED BACK BY USING A DIFFERENT AUTHORITY TO ANNOUNCE A NEW GLOBAL TARIFF NOW AT 50%.

DEMOCRATS SAY HE IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH AMERICAN VOTERS FEELING SQUEEZED IN THE CURRENT ECONOMY.

>> AMERICANS, INCLUDING MYSELF, WE WILL BE IN THE CHAMBER TONIGHT AND WHAT THE PRESIDENT TO FOCUS ON LOWERING COST.

HE PROMISED DAY ONE THAT HE WOULD BRING DOWN THE COST.

IT IS LIKE DAY 410.

>> WITH ELECTIONS LOOMING IN NOVEMBER, REPUBLICANS ON CAPITOL HILL HAVE A LOT AT STAKE AS THE PRESIDENT LAYS OUT HIS GOALS FOR THE YEAR.

NEW CNN POLLING CONDUCTED FINDS 32% OF AMERICANS NOW SAY THAT TRUMP HAS HAD THE RIGHT PRIORITIES AND 68% SAY THAT HE HAS NOT PAID ENOUGH ATTENTION TO THE COUNTRY'S MOST IMPORTANT PROBLEMS.

AS THE PRESIDENT'S MOST NEGATIVE READING ON THAT QUESTION TO DATE, DURING EITHER OF HIS TERMS IN OFFICE.

AND EVAN RODRIGUES REPORTING.

>> WHILE MANY WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE FOR THE PRESIDENT'S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS, THREE DEMOCRATS WILL NOT BE IN THE AUDIENCE.

REPRESENTATIVES SARA JACOBS, SCOTT PETERS AND JUAN VARGAS ANNOUNCED TODAY WILL NOT ATTEND THE STATE OF THE UNIT TO POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND STATEMENTS MADE TO THE MEDIA.

THE THREE CITED DISAGREEMENTS WITH TRUMP'S POLICIES ON IMMIGRATION, HEALTHCARE AND VIOLATIONS TO THE CONSTITUTION AS REASONS FOR NOT ATTENDING REPRESENTATIVE MIKE LEVEN SAYS HE WILL ATTEND AND IS BRINGING THE DAUGHTER OF AN IMMIGRANT COUPLE WHO WERE DEPORTED BY I.C.E.

AS HIS GUESTS.

>> PBS WILL HAVE SPECIAL COVERAGE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS.

YOU CAN WATCH THE SPEECH AND ANALYSIS.

THAT BEGINS AT 6:00 TONIGHT ON KPBS.

>>> CALIFORNIA VOTERS APPROVED -- APPROVED PROPOSITION 50 LAST NOVEMBER REDRAWING THE STATE'S CONGRESSIONAL MAP TO FAVOR DEMOCRATS.

IN SAN DIEGO, THE BIGGEST CHANGE WAS TO THE 40TH DISTRICT CURRENTLY HELD BY A REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN, DARRYL ISA.

KPBS AND OUR PARTNERS CREATED A NEW ONLINE TOOL TO SEE HOW THESE MAPS CHANGED AND WHAT VOTING PATTERNS SHIFTED IN THE PAST FEW ELECTIONS.

WAS TALK ABOUT THE PROJECT.

I'M JOINED BY PUBLIC PROJECT REPORTER, JAKE OTTAWA.

WELCOME.

>> WHAT IS THE LOCAL IMPACT OF PROP 50?

HASN'T CHANGED MUCH IN SAN DIEGO?

>> WE HAVE FIVE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.

THEY ALL GOT RESHAPED TO COVER DIFFERENT AREAS OF SAN DIEGO.

THE BIGGEST IMPACT WAS TO THE 48TH DISTRICT IN NORTH COUNTY.

THE MAPS WE HAVE ONLINE SHOW YOU HOW THE LINES CHANGE.

YOU CAN CLICK ON YOUR DISTRICT AND SEE IF IT CHANGED AND SEE WHERE YOU LIVE AND HOW THOSE THINGS HAVE CHANGED.

UP IN THE NORTH COUNTY WHERE DISTRICT 48 IS CHANGING, IT HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN STRONGHOLD FOR A LONG TIME.

IT HAS BEEN HELD BY REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS FOR SEVERAL CYCLES AND NOW, WITH PROP 50, IT HAS CHANGED THE BALANCE OF VOTER REGISTRATION IN THAT DISTRICT TO WHERE PREVIOUSLY, THERE WERE MORE REGISTERED REPUBLICANS IN THE 40TH AND OTHER MORE REGISTERED DEMOCRATS.

THAT IS REALLY PUTTING THE DISTRICT AND PLAY AHEAD OF THE MIDTERM ELECTION.

>> WE DO KNOW NOT EVERYONE IS HAPPY WITH THE RESULT.

SO LET'S HEAR A CLIP FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE SAN DIEGO YOUNG REPUBLICANS.

>> PROP 50 MAY HAVE BEEN WELL-INTENTIONED BY THE LEFT.

BUT HERE, IN FALLBROOK, THE RESULT IS REALLY JUST CONFUSION, FRAGMENTATION AND A LOSS OF IDENTITY IDENTITY.

IT IS REALLY, REALLY SAD FOR THIS COMMUNITY.

WE ARE ONE THAT SUFFERS BECAUSE OF PROP 50.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE NEED REPRESENTATION TO UNDERSTAND THESE.

>> WHAT ABOUT THE REPUBLICAN VOTERS.

DO WE FEEL THEY ARE LOSING REPRESENTATION?

>> THE FIRST THING TO REMEMBER IS THE WHOLE MAP CHANGE STARTED WHEN TEXAS REPUBLICAN THREE GREW THEIR MAP TO FAVOR REPUBLICANS.

CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR KEVIN NEWSOME IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE WERE VERY CLEAR ABOUT PROP 50 HERE BEING A RESPONSE TO THAT IN TEXAS.

THEY SAY THEY ARE TRYING TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD.

AT THE SAME TIME, IN THOSE DISTRICTS, SOMEONE STILL HAS TO WIN THAT RACE.

THE RACES NOT DECIDED.

THERE IS NO PREDETERMINED WINNER AND THE REPUBLICAN CAN STILL GO OUT AND WIN THE RACE IF THEY HAVE A GOOD CAMPAIGN AND THEY CONNECT WITH VOTERS AND IF THEY DO THE THINGS THAT CURRENTLY DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICAN PARTIES ARE TRYING TO DO TO REACH VOTERS IN THIS AREA.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, SOMEONE HAS TO WIN AND SOMEONE HAS TO LOSE.

THAT IS THE WAY THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM WORKS.

IT IS KIND OF A SHAME THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE SEE REPRESENTATIVES AS ONLY REPRESENTING THEIR TEAM INSTEAD OF REPRESENTING THE WHOLE DISTRICT AND ALL THE PEOPLE WITHIN IT.

>> YOU WORKED WITH OUR PARTNERS AT I CANOES SOURCE ON THIS.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE VOTING PATTERNS AND HOW THEY CHANGED IN CERTAIN PLACES?

>> WE HAVE ANOTHER MAP YOU CAN LOOK AT THAT SHOWS HOW VOTING PATTERNS HAVE CHANGED A TWEEN THREE RECENT ELECTIONS IN CALIFORNIA.

THE 2020 RECALL ELECTION, THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND NOW THE 2025 PROP 50 ELECTION.

WHAT OUR NEWS SOURCE FOUND THAT IN CHULA VISTA AND IN THE SOUTH BAY, THERE IS A PRETTY STRONG SWING TOWARD TRUMP AND TOWARD REPUBLICANS IN THE 2024 ELECTION COMPARED TO PREVIOUSLY.

SAN DIEGO AT LARGE IS KNOWN AS BEING MECHANICALLY FAVORABLE LEANING.

AND IN 2024, THERE WERE SOME PLACES THAT REALLY WENT, NOT COMPLETELY TOWARD TRUMP BUT SWUNG A LOT MORE TOWARD THE REPUBLICAN SIDE THEN MAYBE PEOPLE WERE EXPECTING .

BUT YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAP THAT THAT CHANGES AND GOES BACK TO THE 2025 PROP 50 VOTE AND THE AREA STRONGLY SUPPORTED YES ON PROP 50 WHICH WAS SEEN AS A REFERENDUM ON PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS ADMINISTRATION.

SO THAT MAP SHOWS THAT NOT ONLY ARE VOTING PATTERNS PRETTY UNPREDICTABLE.

YOU CAN'T ALWAYS TELL WHICH WILL GO WHICH WAY.

BUT IT ALSO SHOWS THERE HAS BEEN A RESPONSE TO SOME OF THE THINGS THE ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN DOING.

AND THERE ARE PEOPLE SAYING THAT WE WILL VOTE AND USE OUR VOICES TO MAKE -- USE OUR VOTE TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD.

AND SAY THAT THEY WANT TO STAND UP FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN AND THEY WANT TO PUSH BACK AGAINST WHAT IS HAPPENING.

AND PEOPLE SAW PROP 50 IS A WAY TO DO THAT.

PARTNERS AT THE NEWS SOURCE FOUND OUT IN CHULA VISTA THAT IT WAS A LOT OF THE COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE THERE WHO THOUGHT THAT IN 2024, MAYBE THEY WERE VOTING BASED ON CULTURAL ISSUES OR SOCIAL ISSUES OR EVEN POLITICAL ISSUES.

BUT NOW IN 2025, THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN HOW THE VIBES HAVE SHIFTED IF I CAN BE UNSCIENTIFIC.

THAT IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT HAS CHANGED IN THE PAST YEAR.

THE VIBE IS VERY DIFFERENT NOW THAN IT WAS IN 2024.

>> THAT IS VERY INTERESTING AND WE APPRECIATE YOU BREAKING THAT DOWN FOR US, JAKE.

THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> THIS STORY IS PART OF THE PUBLIC MATTERS INITIATIVE.

YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ON OUR WEBSITE ON KPBS.ORG/PUBLICMATTERS.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, PRESIDENT TRUMP PREPARES TO GIVE THE STATE OF THE UNION ONE YEAR INTO HIS SECOND TERM.

THAT IS COMING UP AT 7:00 AFTER EVENING ADDITION ON KPBS.

.

>>> SAN DIEGO'S CLAREMONT HIGH SCHOOL COULD SOON HAVE A NEW MASCOT.

THE CAPTAINS.

OUR KPBS EDUCATIONAL REPORTER SAID THE CHANGE COMES NEARLY AFTER A YEAR OF COMMUNITY INPUT.

>> SINCE 1958, CLAREMONT HIGH SCHOOL'S MASCOT HAS BEEN THE CHIEFTONS.

SIGNS AND MURALS TODAY DEPICT A CARICATURE OF AN INDIGENOUS MAN.

IN 20 TONY FOR, THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE PASSED A BILL PROHIBITING SCHOOLS FROM USING DEROGATORY NATIVE AMERICAN TERMS AS TEAM NAMES OR MASCOTS INCLUDING CHIEFTONS.

>> THERE HAD BEEN CONCERN OVER THE YEARS ABOUT THE NAME AND PEOPLE FEELING UNCOMFORTABLE WITH IT.

BUT REALLY, BECAUSE OF THE STATE LAW, THAT IS WHAT REALLY PUSH THE PROCESS.

>> IN MARCH OF 2025, SAN DIEGO UNIFIED INDIAN EDUCATION PROGRAM SUBMITTED A LETTER TO THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENT SIGNED BY LOCAL INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

THEY WROTE, "FOR DECADES, THE CHIEFTONS MASCOT HAS BEEN A CHEESE -- CHIEF SOURCE OF ANTIANDROGEN IS RACES BECAUSE OF THE STEREOTYPICAL INDUSTRY IMAGERY AND MATERIAL PERMITTED.

FROM THE CHANTING AND IMAGERY USE AT SCHOOL EVENTS, NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND CULTURE HAVE BEEN A SOURCE OF RIDICULE AND MOCKERY AT THE SCHOOL.

>> THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IS SCHOOL AT THE DISTRICT CHANGED ITS MASCOT.

AFTER A STUDENT LED POSITION IN 2021, SAN DIEGO UNIFIED RENAMED ONE HIGH SCHOOL TO CANNON HILLS HIGH SCHOOL AND SWAPPED ITS CONQUISTADOR MASCOT FOR A RATTLESNAKE.

IT IS THE FIRST TIME A DISTRICT SCHOOL HAS CHANGED ITS MASCOT BECAUSE OF A STATE LAW.

STARTING NEXT SCHOOL YEAR, THE CLAREMONT HIGH SCHOOL MASCOT WILL BE LIKELY THE CAPTAINS.

SCHOOL AND DISTRICT LEADERS HELD TOWN HALL MEETINGS AND ASKED COMMUNITY MEMBERS FOR SUGGESTIONS.

>> IT WAS AN INTERESTING PROCESS.

IT WAS A POSITIVE PROCESS.

WHAT WAS NICE IS THAT IT WAS ACCEPTED THAT WE WERE NOT DEBATING WHY.

WE WERE WORKING ON WHAT.

WE WERE MAKING A DECISION ON WHAT IT IS GOING TO BECOME.

>> THE FINALISTS WERE AVIATORS, CAPTAINS, SEAHAWKS AND TRAILBLAZERS.

THE DISTRICT SAYS MORE THAN 500 PEOPLE RATED THE FINALISTS AND CAPTAINS CAME OUT ON TOP.

THE DISTRICT SAID IT SYMBOLIZES LEADERSHIP AND IT TIES IN WELL WITH THE NEARBY MIDDLE SCHOOL MASCOT, THE MARINERS.

>> CLAREMONT HAD HISTORICALLY BEEN A MILITARY COMMUNITY.

IT KIND OF REPRESENTS THAT TO SOME DEGREE.

AND IT IS NOT GENDER SPECIFIC.

IT COULD BE A MAN.

IT COULD BE A WOMAN.

IT COULD BE AN ANIMAL WITH A CAPTAIN'S HAT ON.

WE LIKE THE IDEA OF IT.

THERE IS FLEXIBILITY AROUND HOW WE CAN USE THAT.

>> THE SCHOOL PLANS TO WORK WITH A GRAPHIC DESIGNER TO COME UP WITH THE NEW LOGO.

THEY WILL HAVE THREE YEARS TO UPDATE SCIENCE, SPORTS UNIFORMS AND ANYTHING ELSE WITH THE OLD MASCOT.

THE SCHOOL BOARD IS EXPECTED TO APPROVE THE NEW CAPTAIN'S MASCOT TONIGHT.

KPBS NEWS.

>> SCIENTISTS ARE RAISING CONCERNS ABOUT TEENAGERS USING CANNABIS.

IT COMES AMID NOON RESEARCH PUBLISHED IN THE AMERICAN JOURNAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.

OUR KPBS REPORTER HEIDI DIMARCO SAID THIS ASSOCIATES THE DRUG WITH AN INCREASED RISK OF SERIOUS MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS.

>> EXPERTS SAY TODAY'S TEENAGERS ARE GROWING UP IN A VERY DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT.

CANNABIS IS LEGAL FOR ADULTS AND CALIFORNIA, WIDELY MARKETED AND OFTEN SEEN AS SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE.

>> THAT CAN MAKE IT HARDER FOR TEENAGERS TO UNDERSTAND THE POTENTIAL RISKS.

>> WE WERE ABLE TO FOLLOW NEARLY A HALF MILLION ADOLESCENTS WHO WERE CONFIDENTIALLY SCREENED FOR CANNABIS USE AS PART OF THE PEDIATRIC CARE.

AND THEN WE EXAMINED THE LEADER ONSET AT THE CLINICIAN DIAGNOSED AS ICONIC, BIPOLAR, AND ANXIETY DISORDERS IN THE SAME COHORT.

AND MANY STUDIES HAVE ONLY FOCUSED ON ONE MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOME AT A TIME.

>> THEY FOLLOWED ADOLESCENTS AGES 13-17 OVER IN 8 YEAR PERIOD .

AMONG ALL THE MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS EXAMINED, KAISER PERMANENTE RESEARCHER KELLY WOLF SAID THAT TWO STOOD OUT.

>> THE STRONGEST ASSOCIATIONS WERE FOUND FOR PSYCHOTIC AND BIPOLAR DISORDERS WHERE THE RISK IS ABOUT DOUBLED.

AN IMPORTANT LAY, TEENAGERS REPORTED ON THE CANNABIS USE ABOUT 1-2 YEARS BEFORE THE MENTAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS.

>> SHE SAYS THEY ACCOUNTED FOR OTHER RISK FACTORS.

>> SO WE ADJUSTED FOR THINGS LIKE SEX, RACE, ETHNICITY, NEIGHBORHOOD DEPRIVATION, INSURANCE TYPE AND OTHER SUBSTANCE USE.

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME TEENAGERS WERE USING CANNABIS AS A WAY TO COPE WITH EARLY MENTAL HEALTH SYMPTOMS.

BUT WE FOUND THAT OUR ASSOCIATIONS REMAIN EVEN AFTER ACCOUNTING FOR PRIOR PSYCHIATRIC CONDITIONS.

>> THE STUDY DOES NOT PROVE CANNABIS CAUSES THESE DISORDERS BUT WOLF SAID THE SEQUENCE USED FIRST AND DIAGNOSIS LATER, IS RAISING CONCERN.

DR.

NATALIE LONG AS A PEDIATRICIAN AT RAINY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.

SHE SAYS SHE IS WATCHING SIMILAR PATTERNS UNFOLD IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

>> FIRE TO 2020, WE WERE ONLY SEEING A HANDFUL OF ADOLESCENTS A YEAR, MAYBE 20 OR 30.

IN 2025, WE SAW NEARLY 600 ADOLESCENCE, YOUNG ADOLESCENTS PRESENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM BECAUSE THEY NEEDED TREATMENT OF SOME KIND FOR THEIR CANNABIS USE.

>> SHE SAYS TODAY'S PRODUCTS ARE FAR MORE POTENT THAN WHAT PREVIOUS GENERATIONS WERE EXPOSED TO.

THEY WORRY MANY FAMILIES UNDERESTIMATE THE RISK.

>> START TALKING ABOUT THIS SOONER THAN YOU THINK IS NECESSARY.

IF YOU ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE DANGERS OF CANNABIS UNTIL YOUR CHILD IS 12, 13 OR 14, IT IS PROBABLY TOO LATE.

>> RESEARCHERS SAY MORE STUDIES ARE NEEDED THAT THEY HOPE THAT THE FINDING WILL HELP PARENTS AND TEENAGERS BETTER UNDERSTAND THAT THE POTENTIAL MENTAL HEALTH RISKS ARE TIED TO EARLY CANNABIS USE.

HEIDI DIMARCO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL TODAY APPROVED REFORMS TO THE CITY'S HISTORIC PRESERVATION RULES.

THOUSANDS OF PROPERTIES IN SAN DIEGO HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED HISTORIC RESOURCES AND THAT MEANS THEY ARE COVERED BY STRICT REGULATIONS ON RENOVATIONS AND NEW CONSTRUCTION.

CRITICS SAY THE RULES CAN BE WEAPONIZED TO BLOCK NEW HOUSING AND DESIRABLE AREAS.

THE REFORMS INCLUDE A RIGHT TO REPEAL HISTORIC DESIGNATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

PRESERVATIONISTS WERE OPPOSED SAYING THEY WILL POLITICIZE THE PROCESS MEANT TO BE GROUNDED IN FACTS AND EVIDENCE.

>> THIS IS NOT A MINOR ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATE.

IT MAKES SWEEPING STRUCTURAL CHANGES TO HOW HISTORIC RESOURCES ARE EVALUATED, DESIGNATED, APPEALED AND PROTECTED IN THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO.

THESE CHANGES DIRECTLY AFFECT HISTORIC PROPERTIES, HISTORIC DISTRICTS AND THE INTEGRITY OF THE CITY'S PRESERVATION FRAMEWORK.

>> THE REFORM PACKAGE WOULD ALSO DEDICATE FUNDING TO PRESERVATION EFFORTS AND HISTORICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED AND MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES.

>>> THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS SWIFTLY CLOSING GAPS IN THE CALIFORNIA MEXICO BORDER TO STOP HUMANS FROM CROSSING.

AS OUR KPBS ENVIRONMENT REPORTER SHOWS US, THE CONSTRUCTION IS ALSO DIVIDING WILDLIFE FROM PRECIOUS RESOURCES .

>> ON THE EASTERN EDGE OF CALIFORNIA'S PENINSULA RANGES OF TALL JAGGED SPINES WITH STEEP SLOPES INTO VALLEYS.

ON A RECENT MORNING, CHRISTINE NIALL LOOKS OUT THE WINDOW OF A SMALL PLANE TO SEE HOW FAR THEY EXTEND INTO MEXICO.

>> THE CHAIN OF MOUNTAINS AHEAD OF US IS ALL PART OF THE PENINSULA RANGES WHICH GO ALL THE WAY FROM PALM SPRINGS AND TUBE BAJA, CALIFORNIA.

>> SHE IS A BIOLOGIST WHO HAS STUDIED HERE IN THE WILDERNESS.

THE AERIAL VIEW OFFERS A NEW PERSPECTIVE.

>> THE PENCIL RANGE IS A NARROW NORTH, SOUTH ORIENTED RANGE.

>> AND A MOMENT OF REFLECTION.

>> BEFORE WE FRAGMENTED AND DEVELOPED THIS HABITAT, THE MOUNTAIN RANGE WAS A CONTINUOUS RANGE OF HABITAT FOR SPECIES LIKE SHEEP.

>> IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE 1990S THAT MILES OF STEEL PLATES BEGAN DIVIDING MUCH OF THE CALIFORNIA MEXICO REGION.

WHERE NATURE PROVIDES A NATURAL BARRIER, THE METAL WALL STOPS.

THE ROCKY RIDGES DID NOT STOP THE BIGHORN SHEEP FROM MIGRATING BETWEEN BOTH COUNTRIES.

>> RECENTLY, THIS WIRE HAS BEEN ADDED.

AND HAS CUT ACCESS TO A LOT OF ANIMALS LIKE BIGHORN SHEEP.

>> THE BALLARD WALL STOPS AND THAT IS WHERE THE RAZOR WIRE BEGINS.

>> U.S.

CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION, OR CBP, HAS BEEN ADDING LARGE COILS OF WATER AND WIRE ALONG THE SLOPES.

PART OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S PLAN TO SEAL THE REMAINING GAPS IN THE BORDER WALL.

THEY SAY THEY PUT CALLERS ON SOME OF THE SHEEP AND ARE TRACKING THEM.

>> FOR SIGNS OF THEM BEING CAUGHT IN THE FENCE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION ARE TELLING US THAT THE WIRE IS NOT A THREAT TO WILDLIFE.

>> BUT SHE SAYS THAT WILDLIFE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE WIRE FENCING AS AN IMPOSSIBLE BARRIER.

THEY MAY ATTEMPT TO CROSS IT AND RISK GETTING TANGLED UP AND INJURED.

>> ACROSS THE BORDER IN MEXICO, HENRIQUE LOUISE HIKES THAT DOES STEVE VALLEY.

HE IS A RESEARCHER AT THE AUTONOMOUS UNIVERSITY OF BAJA, CALIFORNIA.

HE IS LOOKING FOR BIGHORN SHEEP .

>> DROPPING THE SIZE OF LIMA BEANS LEFT NEAR WATER LEAKS FROM A PIPE.

>> HE SAYS THEY COME HERE AND TO A NEARBY OASIS, TO DRINK.

HE SAYS CLOSING THE BORDER WALL WILL SPLIT THE SPECIES HOME RANGE AND HALF.

>> THE SHEEP ARE ONE OF THE MOST CHERISHED ANIMALS AND BAJA, CALIFORNIA.

THERE ICONIC PAROLED HORNS ARE DEPICTED IN INDIGENOUS ROCK AND ENGRAVING'S.

TO PRESERVE THIS SPECIES, THE UNIVERSITY ESTABLISHED A SANCTUARY.

HE WORKS ON THE SANCTUARY PROJECT AND SAID CONSERVATIONISTS ARE SHIFTING THEIR FOCUS TO THE BORDER REGION BECAUSE OF THE CLOSURE.

THEY ARE STARTING TO WORK AND DOCUMENT WILDLIFE COSTINGS BEFORE THE WALL IS COMPLETED.

>> [ SPEAKING IN A GLOBAL LANGUAGE ].

>> THEY SAY THAT WILDLIFE OPENINGS ON THE WALL ARE ONE WAY TO KEEP THE HABITATS CONNECTED.

THEY WANT SMALL PASSAGES THE SIZE OF A SHEET OF PAPER AND LARGER ONES THAT ACCOMMODATE ANIMALS LIKE THE ENDANGERED BIGHORN SHEEP.

THE WILDLANDS NETWORK HAS EVIDENCE THAT THESE PASSAGES ARE WORKING IN OTHER STATES.

THE CAMERAS SHOW CROSSINGS BY MOUNTAIN LIONS, HAVE ILLINI'S AND COYOTES.

>> IT WILL ALLOW ANIMALS TO GET THE RESOURCES THEY NEED.

THAT AT LEAST IS AVOIDING SOME OF THE WORST IMPACT.

WE THINK THEY WILL BE INCLUDED HERE IN CALIFORNIA AS WELL.

>> CBP CONFIRMED IT IS WORKING TO IDENTIFY LOCATIONS HERE FOR SMALL WILDLIFE PASSAGES BUT THERE ARE NO PLANS FOR LARGE OPENINGS.

AND SAID, LARGE ANIMALS WOULD HAVE TO USE NEW FLOODGATES IF THEY ARE OPEN.

>> THEY WERE THE OPTION IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH HOW SOME SPECIES MIGRATE.

SHE HOPES CDP WILL BE OPEN TO OTHER IDEAS.

>> I THINK ASKING FOR NO NEW BORDER BARRIER IS UNREALISTIC AND WE HAVE KIND OF ACCEPTED THAT.

BUT I THINK THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE TOTALLY GIVE UP THE EFFORT FOR MAKING THINGS BETTER FOR WILDLIFE.

I THINK WE ADJUST WHAT WE ASK FOR AND THAT IS GOING TO INVOLVE COMPROMISE.

>> SCIENTISTS AND CONSERVATIONISTS SAY ANIMALS STUCK ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BORDER WILL TRAVEL FAR OUTSIDE OF THEIR RANGE IN SEARCH OF FOOD AND WATER BUT ANOTHER MAJOR MAN-MADE THREAT AWAITS THEM.

THAT IS PART 2, TOMORROW.
