SAN ELIJO HILLS, Calif. — After more than a decade, Cal Fire released a new fire hazard severity zones map. For the first time, some San Diego county residents may find themselves living in one of these hazardous zones, raising concerns about higher insurance premiums. The lush green hills and canyons make San Elijo Hills a desirable place to live for its beauty. “That’s why we all live here,” Ed Philbrick said about the neighborhood he’s lived in for more than 20 years. But, it’s also a hazard during fire season. “It has some chaparral and potential burnable fuel,” he said, looking over the canyon near his home. For the first time, Philbrick says his neighborhood falls into the very high fire hazard severity zone. “When people look at the maps and they may be comparing from previous to now. It looks a lot different. It looks like there’s a lot more people in it because there are,” Cal Fire Deputy Director Frank Bigelow said. These San Diego areas now considered ‘very high fire hazard’ zones by Cal Fire The fire maps include the moderate
DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am in my late 30s and childless, not by choice. I prefer to have a small circle of friends, but I have found it difficult to find other childless friends. Statistically, most people my age have children — especially in church settings, where I spend a lot of my time. It often leaves me feeling like I don’t fit in, as I cannot relate to the conversations revolving around pregnancy and childrearing. One close friend, who is aware of how I feel, and with whom I converse nearly every day, often shares stories with me that I cannot relate to. I often find it hard to cope with this, as they bring up a lot of grief and feelings of being the odd one out. She just shared her excitement over a conversation she had with two friends (whom I do not know) about the similarities in how they raised their now-adult children and some of the relational results of their various parenting choices. I don’t want to squash my friend’s excitement, nor do I want to discourage her from sharing
DEAR ABBY: My husband is soon to have his first book published. We have both waited a long time for this moment and are thrilled that he’ll finally have this achievement under his belt. While I never had any real expectation about a possible dedication, I thought I might get a short mention. Instead, the dedication went to someone he doesn’t know personally, and I was completely left out. His co-author took the opportunity to acknowledge their spouse in addition to other people. I am sad that my husband wouldn’t acknowledge my support. I’m not sure if I should say anything to him about it. If I do and he changes the dedication, it won’t really be from him. If I wait, I will continue to feel slighted. He is a dedicated husband and supports me in everything I do, so is this a big deal just because I feel like it is? What to do, if anything? — UNACKNOWLEDGED IN THE EAST DEAR UNACKNOWLEDGED: I am sure your husband had his reasons for dedicating the book the way he did. Because this is a
Today is Saturday, March 29, the 88th day of 2025. There are 277 days left in the year. Today in history: On March 29, 1974, a group of Chinese farmers digging a well struck fragments of terra-cotta buried underground; archaeologists would ultimately discover terra-cotta sculptures of more than 8,000 soldiers and other figures. The “Terra-cotta Army” would become one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. Also on this date: In 1943, World War II rationing of meat, fats and cheese began, limiting American consumers to store purchases of an average of about two pounds a week for beef, pork, lamb and mutton using a coupon system. In 1951, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted in New York of conspiracy to commit espionage for the Soviet Union. (They were executed in June 1953.) In 1961, the 23rd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, allowing residents of Washington, D.C., to vote in presidential elections. In 1971, Army Lt. William L. Calley Jr. was convicted of murdering 22 Vietnamese civilians in the 1968 My Lai massacre. (Initially sentenced to life imprisonment with hard
REDWOOD CITY — Mills softball was a good team last year. The Vikings finished the season with a record of 14-7, losing in the quarterfinals of the Central Coast Section Division IV tournament to Aragon. But this season, Mills has taken things to another level. Currently No. 6 in the Bay Area News Group rankings, the Vikings are now 9-2-1 after run-ruling Sequoia 13-3 on Friday. Mills has multiple impressive wins on its resume, including a signature 5-3 defeat of No. 5 Mitty, a perennial powerhouse in the Bay Area. So what’s made the difference for the Vikings this year? “The camaraderie with the team,” Mills coach Michelle Beauchemin said. “Most of the girls have been playing together since they were six. So when the freshmen came up, everyone was welcoming and already knew how they played, so they just molded back together from when they were playing rec ball and things like that.

perla shaheen San Diego County’s first cannabis lounge set to open in April NATIONAL CITY (KGTV) — These booths, countertops, and uber-unique bathrooms look like the beginnings of a nice restaurant. Instead, it’s coming together to make the first public space in San Diego County where people can consume cannabis products. “We’re setting the bar for what lounges ought to be in California,” said CEO Alex Ayon. Ayon gave me a tour of his cannabis lounge in National City called Sessions by the Bay. “No lounge in California is on this level,” Ayon said. The first floor is similar to any regular cannabis dispensary. “On the shelves we’ll have all the different cannabis products,” Ayon said. The second floor has the lounge, with seating for people to hang out or order food while also consuming cannabis. “Servers will have a menu they can provide you with cannabis goods and for non-cannabis goods as well. Regular meals and non-alcoholic cocktails.” Ayon applied to open a cannabis lounge in National City back in 2022 and his project was approved the next year. But it wasn’t until this
SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Surveillance cameras have captured another pedestrian collision at a North Park intersection that some have described as the most dangerous in the area. The latest incident occurred a few weeks ago at the four-way stop where Ray Street dead-ends onto Upas Street and 30th Street, according to Liz Saba, who owns a jewelry store at the intersection. “It was a loud noise, a crashing sound, a thump — pretty loud,” Saba said. The cameras showed a pedestrian in the crosswalk being hit by a car heading east on Upas Street. “The pedestrian flies over the hood of the guy’s car. His shoes are on the ground,” Saba said. Remarkably, police reported the pedestrian suffered only minor injuries. This is not the first time Saba’s cameras have recorded a collision at the intersection. In December 2023, the footage showed a driver appearing to run a stop sign and hitting a motorcyclist, who was okay. Saba herself was a victim of a crash at the intersection in March 2020, which left her with nerve and tendon injuries. “It’s almost a calamity of horns
Federal authorities have charged four people in connection with an immigration-related investigation at San Diego Powder and Protective Coatings, an East County business. EL CAJON, Calif. — Federal authorities have charged four people in connection with an immigration-related investigation at San Diego Powder and Protective Coatings, an East County business. Among those charged is the company’s general manager, John Washburn, who allegedly employed undocumented workers and allowed them to live inside the business’s warehouse. Black-and-white photos provided by the government show a makeshift living space inside the facility, with three beds and household items. Authorities allege that approximately 15 employees, or about a third of the company’s workforce, lacked legal authorization to work in the United States. Three other men were charged with providing false information regarding their immigration status to secure employment. If convicted, they all, including Washburn, face up to 10 years in prison. Eyewitnesses Describe the Raid One day after Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) agents raided the business, eyewitnesses and family members of those detained shared their accounts with ABC 10News. “I was shocked when I heard the news,” said Ted Nelson

A 28-year-old man suspected of sexually assaulting a woman in Homeland was taken into custody after running away from deputies, authorities announced Friday.

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Opening weekend is in full swing and baseball traditions are back in action! During opening night, Hall of Famer Trevor Hoffman threw out the ceremonial first pitch for the Padres. To begin the second game of the season, the Padres picked The Bucket List Family to throw out the first pitch. The Bucket List Family consists of Garrett and Jessica Gee, with their three kids, Dorothy, Manilla and Calihan. In 2015, when Dorothy was just two-years-old, and Manilla wasn’t even one year old, the Gee family sold everything and started travelling around the globe. In the ten years, the family of travel journalists have documented their journey across social media and have gained millions of followers, who live vicariously through their trips of a lifetime. From around the globe, their latest adventure brought them from where they have semi-settled with a home base in Hawaii, to America’s Finest City. “I think as a family together we’re at about 95 countries,” Garrett Gee said. “It’s been on my personal bucket list to eventually have them out to America’s number one ballpark
