EL CAJON (KGTV) — Family members say 51-year-old Jamison Webster had a big heart, especially when it came to those she loved. But it’s that kindness that may have cost her life. “Deal with the pain, the heartache, she was my best friend,” said Mike Webster, Jamison’s ex-husband. Police believe her son, 24-year-old Richard Leyva, killed her and put her body in the trunk of her car. Jamison’s ex-husband Mike Webster says Richard had a history of mental health issues and had been arrested several times in the past few years. “We had cops over to the house to arrest him because he was acting crazy, making threats,” Mike said. One of the officers told us: if you don’t get help, somebody’s going to die.” ABC10News obtained court documents revealing Richard’s behavior and attempts by his mother to help. According to court records, in July of 2021, Jamison brought Richard to a doctor who diagnosed him with acute psychosis and prescribed medication. The records say the medicine helped, but Richard decided to stop taking it a few weeks later. His symptoms of paranoia returned. “He

Asking Eric: I just found out my baby is not my boyfriend’s

Dear Eric: I am two months pregnant, or so I thought. I met Steve at a concert three months ago. Our relationship developed quickly, and we became intimate after only a few weeks. Steve is so excited about the baby. It would be his first. He has even offered to marry me as soon as possible. When I went for a checkup the other day, the doctor told me the baby is four months along, not two months. There is no mistake about it. Several weeks before meeting Steve, I had a brief encounter with another man. It ended badly (he cheated on me). I honestly had no idea I was already pregnant when I met Steve. How do I tell Steve the truth? It would crush him to find out this highly anticipated baby is not actually his. He might dump me and then I would be all alone. Even if he stays, trust will always be an issue between us. He is a smart guy. It is only a matter of time until he notices the baby is older than our relationship. –

Trump’s labor secretary pick on track to clear Senate committee with Democratic help

Trump picks Chavez-DeRemer for Labor sec. President-elect Donald Trump picks Lori Chavez-DeRemer for Labor secretary 02:12 Washington — Former GOP Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s nomination to lead the Labor Department under President Trump is all but certain to be advanced Thursday with the help of Democrats. The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions is set to vote Thursday morning to consider moving her nomination forward. Facing opposition from Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, a Republican member of the committee, Chavez-DeRemer’s path to confirmation once appeared in doubt. Paul had said he would oppose her because of her previous support for pro-labor policies. Chavez-DeRemer was one of only three Republicans who supported the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, or PRO Act, in the last Congress, which did not advance past introduction. The bill would have made it easier for workers to unionize. During her confirmation hearing last week, the former lawmaker addressed her prior support for the bill, saying it was “imperfect” and she backs right-to-work laws, which allow workers to choose whether or not to join a union. Without Paul, Chavez-DeRemer needs at

Riverside Approves Negotiations for $200M Adventure Sports Complex on Former Northside Golf Course Site

The Riverside City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to approve an exclusive negotiating agreement with Adrenaline Sports Resorts Collaborative for a proposed $200 million adventure sports complex and mixed-use development that could transform a long-closed former golf course and potentially attract Olympic events to the city. The agreement marks the first step toward developing the 126-acre site in the city’s Northside neighborhood, where thevacant Riverside Golf Course has remained unused since 2009, costing taxpayers $1.6 million annually to maintain. “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. How many years has Riverside missed taking their shots? Let’s take it,” said Councilmember Sean Mill before joining his colleagues in approving the six-month negotiating period, which can be extended twice for additional six-month terms.

Federal Policy Shift Impacts Riverside Refugee Organization

When Deivy, a 34-year-old Venezuelan refugee, arrived in Houston last September with valid documentation, he expected to join his pregnant wife and 11-year-old son in Riverside. Instead, he was detained, pressured to withdraw his application, and ultimately deported to Peru—despite following every legal procedure for refugee resettlement. His family remains in Riverside without him. This is one of many cases handled by the Human Migration Institute Riverside (HMIR), a local chapter of a national non-profit organization that services the refugee community. HMIR assists in placing and assimilating individuals and families granted refugee status under the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) 1967 Protocols. It operates under the United States Refugee Assistance Program (USRAP), a partnership between public and non-profit sector institutions that is primarily government-funded and privately administered. He applied for and was granted refugee status under USRAP after following all prescribed steps to bring his family to Riverside. Approved by U.N. and U.S. agencies, they arrived in Houston on September 19, 2024. However, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) detained Deivy over pre-existing tattoos. No details of the tattoos were available, but they had been

With eyes on distribution, changes coming to Lompoc brewery

A Lompoc brewery is making some changes in an effort to grow with demand. In a social media post, Cold Coast Brewing Company says theyre shifting their license to operate as a tavern. The change will allow them to update brewing equipment, get another cold storage unit and, down the road, a canning line, so they can become stronger and be able to distribute. Tasting room manager Nathan Navarro says in the meantime, theyll be selling and serving beers from other breweries at their Ocean Avenue location. Navarro says the change is a positive one, giving people more options. He also is hoping more people find out about their brewery. That way, when we go back to brewing, they already know about us,” he said. Cold Coast Brewery has been able to brew more than 80 beers depending on available ingredients. Our flagships are usually the tropical IPA, cold classic, the double IPA. We are going to be keeping the cold classic, the tropical IPA, and our salty, our Salty Boy, which is, just a non-flavored seltzer that we put some syrup in and, like

Experts will share real-life case studies and provide practical tips to help businesses and consumers recognize red flags.

You risk losing everything financially if scammers get ahold of your financial information, Copelan said. Theres also the issue of a data breach. A business could have its data held for ransom.

Rancho Cucamonga taps developer to take over century-old winery

Following years of study and community feedback, the century-old Joseph Filippi Winery will continue to have a home in Rancho Cucamonga, albeit under ownership and possibly a new name. At its most recent meeting, the Rancho Cucamonga City Council agreed to place the historic winery and its future into the hands of National CORE, an affordable housing developer that is making its first foray into commercial development. Founded in 1916 as Regina Winery, and located at 12467 Base Line Road, Joseph Filippi Winery is the last substantial winery within the city. Rancho Cucamonga officials been working on plans for the winery since 2021, when current owner Joseph Filippi announced his plans to retire well ahead of the termination of his $1-a-year land lease with the city. Needing to find a new lessee to keep the property intact, per contract agreements, the city embarked on a series of town hall meetings in 2022 to vet various plans for the property. Aside from a couple mentions at City Council meetings, including residents speaking on the issue, however, the future of the winery remained unclear until this month.

Collecting books and considering how to store them

By Donna Kennedy | Contributing Columnist Donna Kennedy was a features writer for The Press-Enterprise and is a former writing instructor. (Photo courtesy of Donna Kennedy) We’re surrounded by books. It’s inevitable, since my husband and I are old English majors who regularly add, but seldom subtract, from our collection. More books were added during post-doc study, and we keep them nearby as references. Sometimes our 17-year-old grandtwins need a classic novel or literary example. Some are old favorites we might want to read again. We’re not tempted by the latest best sellers unless friends recommend or loan them to us. We prefer treasures found at estate, library and neighborhood sales. On walks with our granddaughter, I check out the offerings at Little Free Libraries in the neighborhood. “Come on!” she scolds. “You have enough books!” “So do you,” I retort, when she loads books onto her arms. She’s subject to our influence and stacks her bedroom full of hardbacks and paperbacks as well. Our downtown neighborhood is quite literary, judging from the revolving contents of the three book boxes we visit. And we also

Two Killed in Fiery Freeway Crash in Anaheim Hills

Three people were killed in a fiery crash Wednesday involving four vehicles that closed multiple lanes of the Riverside (91) Freeway in Anaheim Hills. California Highway Patrol officers were called to the eastbound freeway and the Coal Canyon Road off-ramp around 12:50 a.m. Wednesday and found the victims and the vehicles, CHP Officer Sergio Rivera said. An Infiniti sedan was stopped in the No. 2 lane of the freeway for an unknown reason, causing a Honda to also stop before a Hyundai slammed into the rear of the Honda, which burst into flames, killing the three occupants, Rivera said. A Toyota passing by also sustained some minor damage, he added. The other drivers complained of pain, but otherwise there were no other serious injuries besides the three who were killed. It will take time for investigators to confirm the identities of those killed in the Honda, Rivera said. The CHP issued a Sigalert that closed all lanes of the 91 Freeway for several hours while they investigated the cause of the crash.
