DIEGO'S ERROR?

A CHANGE TO HOW WE MEASURE AIR POLLUTION COULD BRING THE CITY OUT OF COMPLIANCE.

>>> JOHN LENNON WAS MUCH MORE THAN A MUSICIAN.

SEE ARTWORK FROM THE BEATLES STAR NOW DISPLAYED IN SAN DIEGO.

>>> SDSU CUTS THE RIBBON ON THE NEW RIVERPARK THAT HAS TRANSFORMED THE OLD STADIUM SITE.

>>> RESULTS FROM TUESDAY'S PRIMARY ELECTION CONTINUE TO BE UPDATED.

EDUCATION AND DEMOCRACY AND AT THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL LEVELS.

MG PRESS SHOWS US HAS SOME OF THAT IS PLAYING OUT IN ONE SOUTH BAY CLASSROOM.

>> THE HARDEST PART IS THE PAPER, NOT THE PRESENTATION.

THE PAPERS WHERE 75% OF YOUR GRADE.

>> Reporter: FENCES SPEAKING TO HIS STUDENTS TAKING AN AP CLASS AND RESEARCH.

THEY ARE A MIX OF JUNIORS AND SENIORS AT OLD-TIME RANCH HIGH SCHOOL, MANY WILL BE OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER'S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

>> I THINK THE ADULTS IN POWER DOING A REALLY BAD JOB.

>> Reporter: 17-YEAR-OLD OLIVIA IS IN THE CLASS, WORKING ON AN INVESTIGATION OF SEXISM AND ITS IMPACT ON WOMEN'S RIGHTS IN THE WORLDS TODAY.

>> I AM WORRIED, BUT I ALSO THINK IF WE BAN TOGETHER AND TRY, WE CAN MAKE CHANGES THAT CAN HELP.

>> OLIVIA AND HER CLASSMATES ARE SOME OF MR. MARTINEZ IS MOST ADVANCED STUDENT BUT THEY ARE STILL PART OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA GENERATION THAT IS INUNDATED WITH INFORMATION FROM SOURCES SEEKING TO INFLUENCE THEM.

>> THEY ARE PRIMARY MOTIVE MAY BE PROFIT, CONTENT, CLICKS, THINK ABOUT CLICK BAIT, AND THEY TRUST THESE VOICES AND SOURCES TO BE TRUE AND FACTUAL WHEN THEY ARE NOT.

>> I'M INVESTIGATING MISINFORMATION AND POLITICS.

>> Reporter: 17-YEAR-OLD BRADY PETERS WAS GOING THROUGH HIS INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT, FLOODED WITH POLITICAL CAMPAIGN ADS WHEN HE STUMBLED ON HIS CLASS RESEARCH TOPIC.

>> BRADY IS JUST CONFLICTED -- COLLECTED DATA FROM STUDENTS AT HIS SCHOOL FROM NINE THROUGH 12 GRADE.

THEY COMPLETED A SURVEY AFTER WATCHING GROUPS IN PAIRS POLITICAL ADD VIDEOS.

>> ONE IN EACH OF THE PAIR WAS FALSE BUT IN THE SURVEY, I DID NOT TELL THE PARTICIPANTS TAKING THE SURVEY THAT ONE OF THE VIDEOS WAS FALSE AND I WANTED TO SEE HOW TRUTHFUL THEY WOULD THINK IT WAS.

>> AFTER A SERIES OF WINS, TRUMP IS OPTIMISTIC.

>> Reporter: AT WILSON MIDDLE SCHOOL IN CITY HEIGHTS, THERE'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF INVESTIGATION HAPPENING AS SIXTH-GRADE STUDENTS WATCH THE DAILY CNN 10 PROGRAM, THEY TRY TO FIGURE OUT POLITICS IN THE ADULT WORLD AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE BIGGEST PLAYERS.

MICHAEL WILLIAMS AS THEIR TEACHER.

>> NO STUDENTS NO THE BIG NAMES, THEY KNOW BY THEN COME IN AND A TRUMP, PUTIN.

>> 11 AND 12-YEAR-OLDS DON'T ALWAYS HAVE A CONTEXT FOR NATIONAL EVENT SO MR. WILLIAMS USES A STRATEGY CALLED SCAFFOLDING WHERE HE DIRECTS THEIR LEARNING STARTING WITH CONCEPTS THEY UNDERSTAND AND THEN PROVIDING LESS SUPPORT AS THEY MASTER THE CONTENT.

AFTER ALL, THEY ARE JUST A COUPLE ELECTIONS AWAY FROM BEING ELIGIBLE TO VOTE.

>> THEY WILL BE OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE.

THEY WILL BE OLD ENOUGH TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR DEMOCRACY, SO WE WANT THEM TO BE THINKING ABOUT IT.

>> THEY ARE WATCHING AND LISTENING.

12-YEAR-OLD JASON RAMIREZ SAYS THIS.

>> THERE WILL BE AN ELECTION ABOUT DONALD TRUMP AND JOE BIDEN.

I FORGOT WHO IT IS, THERE'S A GROUP THING HE'S GOING TO LOSE.

>> IF I PICK WHO WINS, I WOULD SAY DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE A LOT OF BAD STUFF HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE JOE BIDEN WAS PRESIDENT.

>> 11-YEAR-OLD MARTINEZ IS A DEMOCRATIC SUPPORTER.

>> WHO WOULD YOU VOTE FOR?

JOE BIDEN.

HE REALLY LIKE, HE SUPPORTS PEOPLE.

HE IS SUPPORTING UKRAINE.

>> Reporter: STUDENTS LEARNING LESSONS IN THE WAY THEY UNDERSTAND AND FINDING TRUTH ON THEIR ACADEMIC JOURNEY TO GRADUATION.

THAT IS THE GOAL AND MR. MARTINEZ IS CLASS.

>> THIS IS AN ANALYTICAL PROCESS BUILT ON INFORMATION AND SUPPORTING THAT INFORMATION THROUGH A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WITH THEIR PEERS, THEIR TEACHER.

>> ALONG WITH THEIR GRADE, THE STUDENTS WILL GET A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE TOO.

MG PEREZ, KPBS NEWS.

>>> A GENERATION AGO, CONGRESS PASSED THE VOTER LOT AS A WAY TO REDUCE BARRIERS TO VOTING.

FAST FORWARD TO TODAY AND WHILE VOTER REGISTRATION HAS STEADILY INCREASED, TURNOUT REMAINS UNEVEN.

KPBS GLORIA EXAMINES THE IMPACT.

>> HAD TO FILL OUT THE APPLICATION, I WANTED TO REGISTER TO VOTE, IF I DIDN'T, THEY SAID WHY NOT.

>> Reporter: RAYMOND HAS LIVED IN SAN DIEGO FOR 2 1/2 YEARS NOW.

HE WENT TO THE DME -- DMV OFFICE FOR REASONS NOT RELATED TO VOTING BUT LEFT IS A REGISTERED VOTER IN CALIFORNIA, THANKS TO STATE AND FEDERAL VOTER LAWS.

>> IF IT SKIPS A STEP FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON THAT WOULDN'T NORMALLY SIGN THEMSELVES UP TO VOTE, THEN I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING.

>> Reporter: THESE LAWS HAVE BEEN ON THE BOOKS FOR A GENERATION.

THE IDEAS TO MAKE REGISTRATION MORE ACCESSIBLE, WITH THE HOPE THAT PEOPLE WOULD GO OUT AND VOTE ZACH IS A PROFESSOR OF POLITICAL SCIENCE AT UC SAN DIEGO.

>> THE BIG PICTURE, ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE UNITED STATES LAGS BEHIND OTHER NATIONS IN VOTER TURNOUT, WE HAVE THIS EXTRA STEP OF REGISTRATION.

>> Reporter: THREE DECADES AFTER THE FIRST ACT, ADVOCATES ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE LOT AND OTHERS WHO HAVE MADE REGISTERING TO VOTE EASIER BUT THE HOPE ON IMPACT FOR VOTER TURNOUT HAS NOT ALWAYS MATERIALIZED.

THE EFFORTS IN THE 1990S WENT BEYOND THE DMV, AND INCLUDED THE MTV GENERATION.

IN 1992, JOE WAS A SOPHOMORE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

HE WAS RUNNING A NEW VOTER REGISTRATION PROGRAM.

>> TRADITIONALLY, STUDENTS UP TO THAT POINT AND YOUNG PEOPLE IN GENERAL, THE POPULATION REALLY DIDN'T TURN OUT TO VOTE.

AND YET, SO MANY LEGISLATIVE DECISIONS ARE MADE EVERY DAY THAT AFFECT THAT POPULATION.

>> Reporter: HE WAS ALSO AN REM FAN.

ON THE BACK OF THE BANDS OUT OF TIME ALBUM WAS A PETITION FOR THE MOTOR VOTER BILL AND A PROGRAM CALLED ROCK THE VOTE.

THE IDEA BEHIND ROCK THE VOTE WAS FOR CELEBRITY VOLUNTEERS TO INSPIRE YOUNG PEOPLE.

SHELDON WROTE A LETTER TO ROCK THE VOTE, AFTER THEY RESPONDED, EVERYTHING CHANGED.

>> I ACTUALLY REMEMBER GOING DOOR TO DOOR WITH SARAH JESSICA PARKER AND SHE WAS SO NICE.

SHE SAID MY GOSH, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO WROTE THE LETTER.

AND WAS SO EXCITED.

SHE WOULD STOP AND JUST TALK TO STUDENTS AND INSIST ON TALKING TO THEM FOR LIKE 10, 15 MINUTES UNTIL THEY FINALLY AGREED TO SIGN UP TO VOTE.

>> SHOGUN SAYS THEY WERE ABLE TO REGISTER 10,000 NEW VOTERS AT THE UNIVERSITY ALONE.

HE SAID YOUNG VOTERS WERE MOBILIZED TO TURNOUT FOR THE ELECTION TOO.

>> THE LARGE NUMBER OF UNREGISTERED STUDENTS WAS DUE TO APATHY, MY EXPERIENCE TELLS ME DIFFERENT.

OBSTACLES TO REGISTRATION.

>> Reporter: EVEN WITH LIKE ROCK THE VOTE, TURNOUT CONTINUES TO HAVE PEAKS AND VALLEYS.

DISMAL TURNOUT PERSISTED, ESPECIALLY IN CALIFORNIA PICCOLO POINT CAME IN 2014.

MINDY ROMERO IS FOR THE CENTER OF INCLUSIVE DEMOCRACY, WHICH STUDIES THE IMPACT OF VOTER LAWS.

>> WE SAW A RECORD LOW TURNOUT PERIOD IN CALIFORNIA.

THE PRIMARY IS WHAT THE LOWEST GENERAL ELECTION TURNOUT WE HAVE EVER SEEN.

>> Reporter: THE SUIT PROMPTED THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO PASS THE NEW VOTER ACT IN 2015, THIS FURTHER STREAMLINE THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AT DMV'S BACK THEN IN 2021, A TASK FORCE WAS ESTABLISHED TO ENSURE DMV OFFICES WERE COMPLYING WITH THE LAW.

REGISTRATION IS AGAIN ON THE RISE.

IT IS STILL NOT TRANSLATING IT TO HIRE TURNOUT ACROSS THE BOARD.

DOOR ROSES THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE CALIFORNIA LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS.

SHE SAYS AUTOMATIC VOTER REGISTRATION NEEDS TO BE BACK UP BY ADDITIONAL MEASURES.

>> I GUESS IT WOULD SAY THAT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT AVR DOESN'T IMMEDIATELY TRANSLATE INTO HIGH TURNOUT.

FOR EXAMPLE, PEOPLE WHO REGISTER THROUGH CALIFORNIA'S ONLINE SYSTEM, WHERE THEY HAVE TO PROACTIVELY STREAK OUT REGISTRATION, THEY TURNOUT MUCH HIGHER RATES THAN FOLKS WHO ARE REGISTERING AT THE DMV.

THAT MEANS IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP, WHICH IS TO DO THE EDUCATION AND OUTREACH WORK THAT IS NECESSARY TO TRANSLATE NEW REGISTRATIONS INTO ACTUAL VOTES.

>> Reporter: FOR RAYMOND, PARTICIPATING IN THE UPCOMING ELECTION IS NOT A HIGH PRIORITY BUT HE SAYS, AT LEAST HE HAS AN OPTION FOR THE NOVEMBER PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

>> KIND OF 50-50, I'M NOT PARTICIPATING IN ANYTHING LOCAL BECAUSE I'M NOT UP-TO-DATE BUT AS FAR AS PRESIDENTIAL, I WOULD PROBABLY VOTE ON THAT.

TIMES ARE CRAZY SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE RIGHT PERSON WINS.

>> YOU CAN GET CAUGHT UP IN ALL THE PRIMARY ELECTION RESULT THAT KPBS.ORG OR LOOK FOR THE LINK ON OUR HOMEPAGE BIRGIT IS AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH AND A SHARED TWO BOOK MARKET TOO.

WE WILL BE UPDATING THE VOTER HUB WITH MORE CONTENT AS WE COVER THE GENERAL ELECTION.

>> Reporter: BEFORE THE RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY, JAMIE, COUNCILMEMBER FOR THE BAND OF THE NATION GAVE AN OFFERING OF TOBACCO THAT SHOWS GRATITUDE AND IS TRADITIONALLY SHARED DURING ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

>> MAY WE, AS A COMMUNITY, WALK HAND-IN-HAND, SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH THE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE ACKNOWLEDGING THE PAST, HONORING THE PRESENT AND WORKING TOWARDS A FUTURE THAT RESPECTS AN INHERENT CONNECTION BETWEEN THE NATION AND THIS LAND, THE SAN DIEGO RIVER, AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS.

>> Reporter: THE SDSU MISSION VALLEY DEVELOPMENT THAT INCLUDED SNAPDRAGON STADIUM OFFICIALLY OPENED A 34 ACRE RIVERPARK .

MEASURE G LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR THE SPARK BACK IN 2018.

>> WHEN WE SAW THE ASPHALT SLOWLY TURN INTO WHAT WE ARE STANDING ON TODAY, I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THE VOTERS MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE.

>> Reporter: SAN DIEGO STATE PRESIDENT SAYS THIS PARK IS A COMMUNITY -- OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO COME TOGETHER.

>> WE NEED ACCESSIBLE, BEAUTIFUL SPACES IN THIS IS A SPACE RIGHT IN THE CITY THAT EVERYONE CAN COME AND JOIN WITH THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS.

THEY CAN BRING THEIR FURRY FRIENDS, THEY CAN BRING THEIR CHILDREN, THEY CAN BRING THEIR GRANDPARENTS.

>> THIS PARK INCLUDES RECREATIONAL FIELDS, MORE THAN FOUR MILES OF WALKING AND BIKING TRAILS IN A CHILDREN'S PLAY AREA.

>> I LOVE THE PLAY STRUCTURE AS I THINK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME BECAUSE WHEN MY GRANDKIDS COME AND VISIT, WHERE THEY WANT TO GO IS WHERE THE PLAY STRUCTURES ARE.

SO THEY ARE FABULOUS.

>> LOOK AROUND, THERE ARE SO MANY ACTIVITIES TO DO.

THE PARK IS RIGHT THERE, THERE IS JUST PLENTY TO DO.

>> MISSION HILLS RESIDENT AND HIS DAUGHTER HAVE BEEN COMING TO THE PARK FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

MARCHES ON THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE, HE HOPES IT WILL INSPIRE PEOPLE TO SEE THE FREEWAY AND ALTHOUGH A PARK FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE.

>> HAVING MEMORABLE EVENTS BRING VALUE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CITY AND ECONOMIC VALUE.

>>> A NEW RAPID BUS LINE HAS SURVIVED A CAMPAIGN TO GET RID OF IT.

CORY SUZUKI SAYS THE ROUTE JUST WENT INTO SERVICE A FEW MONTHS AGO.

>> Reporter: THE 227 ROUTE WAS MEANT TO MAKE IT EASIER TO COMMUNE IN THE SOUTH BAY BETWEEN IMPERIAL BEACH AND THE PORT OF ENTRY.

WEEKS AFTER THE BUSES STARTED RUNNING, GROUP OF RESIDENTS AT IMPERIAL BEACH STARTED SHARING FRUSTRATIONS.

THEY SAID THE NEW BUSES WERE MAKING THE QUIET STREET NOISE AND BREAD AT NIGHT AND STUDENTS DIDN'T SPEND ENOUGH TIME TO REACH OUT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEFOREHAND.

>> I CAN HEAR BUSES, I CAN SEE THE BUSES.

THERE ARE MANY, MANY, MUCH TOO MANY.

>> Reporter: THE DEBATE CAME TO A HEAD IN THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING LAST MONTH.

AREAS RESIDENT, DENISE.

>> WE HAVE TWO ROUTES ALREADY THAT ARE SMALL, FOUR SQUARE MILE CITY AND I THINK THAT IS PERFECTLY FINE.

>> Reporter: THE CAMPAIGN TO GET RID OF THE RAPID 227 ROUTE WAS MET BY DOZENS OF PEOPLE WHO SPOKE PASSIONATELY ABOUT THE NEED FOR STRONGER PUBLIC TRANSIT.

MANY RESIDENTS HAVE TO CROSS THE BORDER FOR WORK BUT DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO A CAR.

THE CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDED THAT MTS LOOK AT MOVING IT TO A LESS RESIDENTIAL STREET BUT THEY SAID THE BUS LINE WOULD STAY.

THEY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND GETTING RID OF IT COMPLETELY.

CORY SUZUKI, KPBS NEWS.

>>> HERE ARE SOME OF THE POPULAR STORIES THIS WEEK AT KPBS .ORG.

A NEW HOMELESS SHELTER OPENS WITH THE CAPACITY TO SERVE DOZENS.

SAN DIEGO PARKS AND REC SAID NO POISON WAS FOUND AT FIESTA ISLAND PARK AFTER SOCIAL MEDIA UPROAR AND THE NAVY SAYS COST-CUTTING AND CREW COMPLACENCY IS TO BLAME FOR THE USS BOXER'S ENGINE PROBLEMS.

A SPECIAL EXHIBIT IS WRAPPING UP ITS RUN IN SAN DIEGO.

IT FEATURES THE WORK OF JOHN LENNON, BUT INSTEAD OF HIS MUSIC, IT IS ALL ABOUT HOW HE EXPRESSED HIMSELF AS A VISUAL ARTIST.

JOHN CARROLL VISITED THE GALLERY TO SEE ANOTHER SIDE OF THE BEATLES LEGEND.

>> Reporter: PERHAPS NEVER IN THE EC GALLERY 27 YEAR HISTORY HAS THERE BEEN AN EXHIBIT THAT IS TRUER TO THE GALLERY'S NAME.

EC STANDS FOR EXCLUSIVE COLLECTIONS AND AT LEAST IN THE MODERN ERA, IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE A GROUP MORE EXCLUSIVE THAN THESE WHIMSICAL DRAWINGS BY JOHN LENNON.

>> IT'S ALL ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY, CULTURE, SPREADING LOVE, HAVING THE I THINK ALMOST LIKE AN IDEA THAT EVERYBODY HAS ACCEPTED TO THE TABLE.

>> THE TABLE, SHOWS LENNON AND HIS WIFE, YOKO ONO, SHARING A MEAL.

SHE IS STILL ALIVE.

SHE IS 91 NOW.

GALLERY OWNER, RUTHANN THORNE SAYS EXERCISES STRICT CONTROL OVER WHERE THEY LIMITED EDITION PRINTS GO AND HOW THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DISPLAYED AND SO FORTH.

>> SHE HAS AN AGENT, LIKE AN AGENCY, THAT OVERSEES WHERE THESE PIECES GO ON THE HANDLE ALL THE BUSINESS END OF IT, TRACKING THE INVENTORY AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS AND I THINK THEY DO, IF I UNDERSTAND, 3 TO 4 EXHIBITS A YEAR, SO IT IS REALLY EXCLUSIVE AND WE ARE REALLY HONORED TO HAVE IT.

>> Reporter: TO BE CLEAR, THESE ARE NOT ORIGINALS.

THOSE ARE ALL IN MUSEUMS AND PRIVATE COLLECTIONS.

THESE ARE PRINTS, MOST OF THEM SERIGRAPH'S, A FANCY TERM FOR SKILL SCREEN PANTING.

MOSER PRINTED ON RICE PAPER AND THEY ARE ALL LIMITED EDITION.

>> YOKO ONO HAND SIGNS EACH ONE OF THESE.

THIS IS HER SIGNATURE THERE.

THAT IS HOW YOU KNOW IT'S AN AUTHENTIC PRINT AUTHORIZED HER, IF HER SIGNATURE IS ON IT.

ON THIS HIS HIS SHOP MART WHICH WAS GIVEN TO HIM IN JAPAN AND IT SIGNIFIES WHO HE WAS AS A PERSON AND I BELIEVE WHEN THE JAPANESE MADE THIS FOR HIM.

THEY UTILIZED IT AS LOVING CLOUD, HE WAS ENLIGHTENED LIKE A CLOUD, SPREADING LOVE.

>> PASSION FOR ART CAME BEFORE HE FORMED THE BEATLES.

HE ATTENDED THE LIVERPOOL ART INSTITUTE FROM 1957 TO 1960.

IT WAS THERE HE DEVELOPED HIS STYLE, SKETCHING AND DRAWING FIGURES THAT REFLECTED HIS SARCASTIC SENSE OF HUMOR.

THERE ARE ALSO LYRICS TO A HANDFUL OF SONGS REFLECTING LENNON'S WORDPLAY, HIS POETRY.

>> WHAT YOU WOULD HEAR WITH YOUR EARS AS A SONGWRITER AND AS A MUSICIAN IS WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO SEE WITH YOUR EYES.

IT IS THE FURTHER EXPRESSION OF A GREAT TALENT THAT WAS ON THIS EARTH FOR TOO SHORT OF A TIME.

>> YOU ARE REMINDED OF THE SHORTNESS OF HIS LIFE WHEN YOU SEE THIS LETTER, HE INCLUDED THE DATE HE WROTE IT, JULY 20th, 1980, JUST OVER FIVE MONTHS FROM THE DAY AN ASSASSIN'S BULLET WOULD CUT HIM DOWN IN FRONT OF HIS NEW YORK CITY APARTMENT BUILDING.

>> THESE ARE GREAT TALENTS, THEY COME ALONG AND THEY GET SNUFFED OUT TOO EARLY AND WHAT IS THE COMMON THREAD?

WHEN WE THINK ABOUT JIMI HENDRIX, YOU THINK ABOUT KURT COBAIN, YOU THINK ABOUT ALL OF THESE, YOU KNOW, MARILYN MONROE, ALL OF THESE PEOPLE, THEY WERE ALWAYS SPREADING LOVE AND WHATEVER THEY DID.

>> FROM THE DRAWINGS TO THE LYRICS TO THE PHOTOGRAPHS, THOSE ARE NOT FOR SALE, YOU MIGHT THINGS ALL THINGS LENNON HERE ARE BLACK AND WHITE BUT THERE IS COLOR TO BE FOUND IN THIS COLLECTION AND IT COMES THROUGH COLLABORATION.

IT'S IN THE SERIES OF PIECES CALLED THE BREAKFAST DRAWINGS.

THEY WERE DONE FOR JOHN AND YOKO SON, JOHN.

JOHN DID THE SKETCHES AND YOKO FILLED ON THE COLOR.

THE PRICE OF THE SKETCHES RANGES FROM ABOUT 1500 TO 5 AND $6000 RANGE BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY ONE, THE GALLERY IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND IT'S FREE.

THE EXHIBIT WILL BE HERE THROUGH SATURDAY, WHETHER YOU HAVE TIME TO COME AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED WHEN JOHN LENNON PUT PEN TO PAPER, ANOTHER WAY TO SEE INTO HIS VISION THAT HE CALLED UPON ALL OF US TO IMAGINE.

>>> THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS TIGHTENING THE STANDARDS FOR ACCEPTABLE AMOUNTS OF AIR POLLUTION.

KPBS REPORTER, ERIK ANDERSON SAYS THE CHANGE MIGHT PUSH SAN DIEGO OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH CLEAN AIR LAWS.

>> CLEAN AIR ADVOCATES CHEERED WHEN EPA CHIEF MICHAEL UNVEILED THE NEW POLLUTION STANDARDS LAST MONTH.

>> THE SCIENCE IS CLEAR, SIT POLLUTION IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS FORMS, LINKED TO A RANGE OF SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ILLNESSES INCLUDING ASTHMA AND HEART ATTACKS.

>> Reporter: 2.5 POLLUTION REPRESENTS TINY AIRBORNE PARTICLES THAT ARE EASILY INHALED.

IT TAKES ROUGHLY A LARGELY 30 PARTICLES TO EQUAL THE WIDTH OF A HUMAN HAIR.

LOWERING THE AMOUNT FROM 12 MICROGRAMS TO NINE LOWERS HOW MUCH MONEY THE NATION SPENDS ON HEALTH CARE.

>> AN IMPRESSIVE ESTIMATED $46 BILLION, BILLION WITH A B, AND HEALTH CARE AND HOSPITALIZATION COSTS BY THE YEAR 2032.

>> IT COMES FROM BURNING WOOD, DUSTS, FACTORIES, BASICALLY ANYTHING THAT CONSUMES FOSSIL FUEL.

IN SAN DIEGO, AIR QUALITY REGULATORS SAY THE BIGGEST SOURCE AS IN FACTORIES OR CARS, IT'S HOMES.

HAVE LOOKED FOR WAYS TO PHASE OUT GAS BURNING APPLIANCES.

>> BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION.

>> REGULATORS HAVE TIME TO CONSIDER HOW TO MOVE FORWARD AND THERE IS A CHANCE THAT SAN DIEGO'S POLLUTION LEVELS WILL MEET FEDERAL STANDARDS WHEN THEY TOOK EFFECT IN 2026, BUT THERE'S ALSO A CHANCE THE COUNTY WON'T.

THAT MEANS REVIEWING EXISTING POLLUTION RULES.

>> THEY HAVE TO TWEAK EXISTING RULES OR MOVE AHEAD WITH NEW RULES ALTOGETHER.

>> SAN DIEGO AIR POLLUTION SAID THE REGION WILL BE LIKELY OUT OF COMPLIANCE WHEN THE NEW STANDARD TAKES EFFECT.

OFFICIALS ARE ALREADY CONSIDERING WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PRODUCE AIRBORNE SET AND THEY ARE DEVELOPING AN OUTLINE.

>> THAT PLAN IS GOING TO LOOK AT THE SOURCES THAT WE REGULATE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, PREDOMINANTLY STATIONARY RESOURCES AND IDENTIFY WHERE WE CAN ACHIEVE ADMISSION REDUCTIONS IN ORDER TO MEET THAT STANDARD.

>> SHE'S TALKING ABOUT FACTORIES AND POWER PLANTS.

REGULATORS ALSO WANT TO REEVALUATE WHETHER HOMES ARE THE BIGGEST SOURCES OF POLLUTION ARE WHETHER THE IMPACT HAS BEEN OVERESTIMATED.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY HAS OTHER ISSUES THAT LOCAL AIR QUALITY REGULATORS CAN'T FIX.

>> THE CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD COME ALONG WITH EPA, HAS JURISDICTION OVER MOTOR VEHICLES.

EPA HAS OVER SOURCES SUCH AS LOCOMOTIVES.

>> Reporter: ALSO, CALIFORNIA'S OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH HAZARD ASSESSMENT FINDS THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF SOOT IN THE COUNTY AREA IS NEAR THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER.

LOCAL REGULATORS CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT HERE THAT ORIGINATES IN MEXICO AND AS FEDERAL OFFICIALS POINT OUT, POLLUTION HURT SOME COMMUNITIES MORE THAN MOST.

>> IT IS HEARTBREAKING BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS FOR COMMUNITIES.

>> Reporter: THE HEALTH IMPACTS ARE REAL AND TRACKED IN THE STATES ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT TOOL.

AT IDENTIFIES PORTSIDE AND BORDER COMMUNITIES AMONG THE MOST POLLUTED REGIONS IN THE STATE.

THERE HAS BEEN PROGRESS.

THE PORT HAS WORKED TO ELECTRIFY OPERATIONS OF THE 10th AVENUE MARINE TERMINAL BUT AIR POLLUTION STILL FLEX NEARBY NEIGHBORHOODS.

>> THERE IS NO SAFE LEVEL OF P.M. POLLUTION.

ALL OF THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE ASTHMA AND ELEVATED CANCER RISK WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

>> Reporter: ON THE 15 COUNTIES IN THE U.S.

CURRENTLY FAILED TO MEET THE EXISTING STANDARD.

THE EPA ESTIMATES 119 COUNTIES, INCLUDING SAN DIEGO COULD FALL SHORT OF THE NEW LOWER STANDARD.
